In the bleak cold wind, the marching team of more than 1,400 people walked out of the valley, through the dense forest, like a ghost soldier who suddenly appeared, entered the official road in the north-south direction, and moved forward silently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of the long marching procession, Zheng Yi on the war horse gestured backwards, and the new combat staff officer Shangguan Yong quickly caught up with him, walked side by side with Zheng Yi, and talked in a low voice.

A few minutes later, Shangguan Yong and two brothers of the guard company rode past the marching procession and disappeared at the end of the bend two kilometers ahead.

The soldiers who marched silently had long been accustomed to such a situation, and the formation of marching at a uniform speed was orderly, without any impact, and they continued to move forward for less than an hour, and the sharp-eyed soldiers saw Xu Maofu, the commander of the special service company, and Shangguan Yong, holding their horses, standing side by side at the three-way intersection in front, and then the order issued by the division commander Zheng Yi to "turn to the right lane and continue to advance" came to the officers and men, and the officers and men immediately realized that the battle plan was likely to change again.

The whole army turned into a narrow mountain road and advanced about three kilometers, and the battalion and company commanders, who had received the order in advance, announced that they would stop advancing, rest in place, and seize the time to drink and eat, and then began to inspect their battalions and companies, asking one by one if there were any brothers whose military shoes were soaked and who were covered in hot fog could not hold on. Are there any injuries? If there is an injury or illness, the medical staff of the army should be called to solve it, and if it is really impossible, they will be sent to the Chinese army where the division headquarters is located for centralized care, and they can ride on the war horses given by the officers and follow the whole army to accompany the army.

……

……

In the open space in the middle of the team, Zheng Yi and Li Lianshan, the head of the first regiment, Zhao Jingting, the second commander of the regiment, and other chief officers squatted around the map, listening to Xu Maofu and Shangguan Yong's reports in turn, while slowly chewing cold roasted sweet potatoes.

After Xu Maofu reported on the feedback from the reconnaissance detachment at the front, he was worried that the big guys would not understand, so he went up again and pointed to the two villages and towns and roads that had just been marked on the map, and explained in detail:

"Three kilometers away from us, to the north of Qidi Village, is a mountain with dense vegetation, with a radius of more than 500 meters, and about 17 kilometers to the west around the mountain, it is Lushui Town, which camped and rested in the march plan. If you don't worry about revealing your whereabouts, you can save about four kilometers of travel by going directly through Qidi Village, and the road is better. ”

According to the requirements of the revised marching plan, in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, try to bypass the villages and towns along the way, starting from Yongxin City to now, two towns have been bypassed along the way, so everyone chooses to bypass the mountains north of Qidi Village.

Zheng Yi pondered for a moment and looked at Shangguan Yong, who was caressing his chin and contemplating silently: "Shangguan Staff, what is your opinion?" ”

Shangguan Yong smiled: "During the time when I was recuperating from my injuries, I was very envious when I heard the brothers talk about the experiences of Yihuang and Ji'an, so I really wanted to do it again." ”

"Since the county magistrates of Yihuang and Ji'an and thousands of Kuomintang officers and soldiers can't see our flaws, the people in a few remote mountain villages are naturally not a problem, not to mention that we have also brought a lot of Kuomintang party flags and military flags, and the military uniforms on our bodies are no different from those of the Kuomintang army.

Zheng Yi and Li Zhao looked at each other and smiled, and nodded in approval.

Li Lianshan, Zhao Jingting and other chief and deputy chiefs scratched their heads embarrassedly and laughed, knowing that they were too cautious, but they lost their sharpness.

Zheng Yi patted Shangguan Yong's shoulder, glanced around, and gave a decisive order: "Order all battalions and companies to prop up the Kuomintang military flag they brought, and put the blue sky and white sun cockade hidden in the backpack on the military cap." ”

"The detachments of the special service company and a regiment of police companies took the lead in setting off, rode to Lushui Town, prepared for the arrival of the large army, and told the mayor and the squires and landlords that our Central Army and the anti-bandit troops of the Central Army will camp in Lushui Town tonight."

"The police company of the second regiment is responsible for the safety of the front and rear of the marching team, and the rest of the units maintain formation and walk along the main road generously!"

Officers at all levels immediately moved after listening to the order, Zheng Yi stuffed the remaining small half of the roasted sweet potato into his mouth, clapped his hands and walked to the side of the war horse, grabbed a handful of beef jerky from the leather bag on the back of the saddle, turned around and squatted down, and hugged the neck of his dog Xiaoqiang:

"Remember, no matter how greedy you are, don't bite my trouser leg...... Look, you eat better than Lao Tzu, and your daily food expenses have exceeded Lao Tzu's three brothers, almost equivalent to the treatment of a major battalion commander......"

The staff officers on the side laughed, and Li Zhao couldn't help but run over happily, touching the little strong shoulder blade, and praised:

"Xiaoqiang is indeed capable, and the role he plays along the way is almost the same as that of a reconnaissance detachment, if each regiment has a few such military dogs, the safety of marching and camping can be increased by at least ten times."

"At least for two years, the main regiments will not be able to have military dogs, and the spies originally wanted to bring the other two, but suddenly found that both of them were pregnant with cubs, so they could only take the lonely King Kong to march together, haha!" Zheng Yi smirked.

Li Zhao was very envious of Xiaoqiang's loyalty to Zheng Yi: "Among our six military dogs, Xiaoqiang is the best, and the only drawback is that no one can move except you, haha!" ”

"The second is the two female military dogs who are about to get off in Jinhua Mountain, that is, capable and obedient, everyone likes it very much, I knew this, you should have bought a few more when you were in Guangzhou."

Zheng Yi patiently explained: "This purebred German shepherd is difficult to buy, I begged the German guy in the Shamian Concession for several months, and he bought me two males and four females from Germany, a total of six half-year-old shepherds, and it was purchased in strict accordance with the breeding requirements, to ensure that the six shepherds have no blood relationship within three generations...... The price of each sheepdog is equivalent to a heavy machine gun! ”

"So expensive?" Li Zhao's eyes widened.

Zheng Yi pouted: "Are you still too expensive?" There's nowhere to buy money if you have money! If you don't believe me, I'll give you 10,000 oceans, and in a year you'll buy me five purebred German Shepherds. ”

Li Zhao was stunned, looked at Zheng Yi who walked to the grass with Xiaoqiang to pee, thought about it and stood up unconvinced: "As long as our local hunting dogs are strictly trained, they will definitely not be worse than foreigners' dogs, why spend so much money!" ”

Who knew that Zheng Yi, who was peeing, replied loudly: "Okay! I'll pay you the money out of my own pocket later, you'd better buy a few local hunting dogs quickly, this season is a good time to eat stewed dog meat, our Lao Meng's skill in making dog meat is definitely a must. ”

The staff officers who were sorting out their belongings burst into laughter, and Elder Meng, the secretary of the division headquarters who was squatting not far away and smoking a pipe, immediately turned his head to look at him, and loudly said that the march was imminent, and that dog meat could only be made at night, which immediately caused even greater laughter.

Even Zheng Yi was so happy that he almost didn't spill his urine on Xiao Qiang's head, which suddenly aroused Xiao Qiang's contemptuous eyes. (To be continued.) )
