Chapter 45: Riverside Separation
Since everyone expressed their willingness to listen to him, Zhou Lin began to assign tasks as soon as possible.
The first is the second company. Although Fu Erchong was included in the first batch of lists to participate in the search operation, the second company could not let him take all of them, and Zhou Lin only asked Fu Erchong to bring one platoon. This is not a war, it is just looking for people, the second company has strong combat effectiveness and is the main force of the Flying Tiger Battalion, leaving two platoons to defend the position.
Fu Erchong said a lot of good things, so he added another class, that is, Li Yunlong's infantry squad; Huang Tian must be one of the indispensable members of the search team, only he knows where the battalion commander jumped off the cliff, Huang Tian led the entire guard platoon to join the search team; The Independent Brigade came out with a platoon; A platoon in a row. Together, it becomes a complete company.
Fu Erchong served as the commander of the search company, and led all the officers and men of the search company to be responsible for finding the battalion commander Ren Laifeng. Zhou Lin temporarily served as the commander of the Wangfu Mountain position, commanding the rest of the Flying Tiger Battalion to hold the position. Before the search company and battalion commander Ren Laifeng returned, the defenders of Wangfu Mountain should ensure that their positions were not lost and suspend all active attacks.
The personnel allocation and action plan were put forward by Zhou Lin, and several company commanders and team leaders unanimously raised their hands to approve it, and the matter was settled. The two sides took care of each other, and Fu Erchong led the whole team of the search company to quietly go down Wangfu Mountain.
Huang Tian led the way in front, and after rushing to the location where Ren Laifeng jumped off the cliff, the big guy looked straight at a glance. I saw the white Lang rolling and the sound of the water at the bottom of the cliff, if a person jumped from here, he would be dead or alive! Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were half cold. Even Fu Erchong's face turned white.
First detoured to the bottom of the cliff, and rummaged through the cracks in the stones next to each other, but no one was found. There was no blood on the riverbank, and everyone was sure that the battalion commander had really fallen into the water, and then followed the river downstream to find it.
Fu Erchong divided the more than 100 people into two halves, and he took half of them to find a ferry to the other side of the river and searched along the other side of the river; Huang Tian took the other half of the people to find it from the river. In this way, no matter which way the battalion commander goes ashore, he will not be mistaken. Whichever side finds someone first, immediately notify the other side of the river. Wolf smoke is released during the day, and beacon fires are lit at night.
Before starting to divide the troops, Company Commander Fu also held a small swearing-in meeting for everyone. He told the officers and men of the search company: This time, no matter what, even if the sky falls, they will have to find someone. I can't find the battalion commander, and I don't have to go back to search for even these 100 people!
In this way, Huang Tian took dozens of people on his side to look down the riverbank. As long as there is a place where people can be hidden, they will not let go at all. Every village, every house, even every cave and cellar was searched. Don't look far along the dozens of miles, there is no need to mention the hardships suffered along the way.
Finally found this riverside after all the hardships, Huang Tian was resting in the woods with people, and when he heard someone shouting outside, Li Yunlong, who was active by nature, looked outside, hey, why did that person look like a battalion commander?
As soon as Huang Tian heard this, he jumped over, stared wide-eyed and took a closer look, who else was not the battalion commander? Okay! At that moment, the big guy's heart was about to fly. Seeing that there are a few guys who don't have long eyes who want to be rough with the battalion commander, can Huang Tian agree? He yelled and rushed out with his pistol!
In front of this group of people, not to mention that there are only a dozen people who have gone ashore, even if Zhang Laifu pulls all the teams of the security team, Huang Tian has the confidence to kill him seven in and seven out! These dozen or so are the appetizers! That is, Zhang Laifu is a clever runner, and even he can't walk if he takes a step slower!
Everyone sighed endlessly when they met, and how many heroic tears were shed. After the excitement of the first meeting, Huang Tian suddenly remembered to order wolf smoke. Company Commander Fu is still busy on the other side of the river, so if you find someone here, you have to notify them quickly, right?
In ancient times, the wolf smoke was to burn wolf dung, and it is said that after the wolf dung was burned, the smoke gathered but did not disperse, and it could be seen dozens of miles away. But now it's not like there's no wolf dung, and it's the same if you just pick up some branches, grass and leaves. The soldiers quickly collected enough branches and leaves, lit a fire, and poured some water on it when the smoke was not strong enough. When the wet wood burns, the smoke is big, and the black rumbling goes straight to the sky!
The wolf smoke burned for a full hour, and after extinguishing the fire, it was time for Ren Laifeng to lead his subordinates back to the battlefield. Before leaving, he asked the father and daughter of the Yu family: Would you like to go with us? The Chinese pay attention to the grace of dripping water. They saved his life, and of course he has the obligation to take care of the father and daughter to live a prosperous and comfortable life. At the very least, he had to escort them to safety.
Yu Dajiang shook his head: "Thank you for the kindness of the battalion commander." We are fishermen, and we will fish for the rest of our lives. We have fishing boats, and the Yangtze River is so big, why can't it feed the two of us? The old man refused. Although Yu Xiaoqian has a good impression of Ren Laifeng, no matter how good she is, she can't resist his father's face.
Seeing that the handsome little fishergirl reluctantly followed the old man Yu and turned back to the fishing boat step by step, Ren Laifeng suddenly felt an urge to run over and snatch the person away. But he just thinks about it, if he really wants to do that, then what is the difference between him and the bandit bully who robs men and women?
"Let's go, let's go back!" Ren Laifeng led the troops to return to Wangfu Mountain by the same route.
Yu Dajiang and his daughter Yu Xiaoqian drove their fishing boat to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In general, small fishing boats walk close to the river, which can avoid strong winds and waves, and secondly, it is easier to catch fish close to the river. But today is different, Yu Dajiang is not going to fish, he wants to leave this ominous place as soon as possible. In order to make the fishing boat go faster, Yu Dajiang rowed his boat to the center of the river.
An hour after the boat walked out, Yu Xiaoqian sang a fishing song. Young girls, after all, don't have so many worries in their hearts. Hearing his daughter singing, Yu Dajiang also had a smile on his face.
Before a song was finished, a big boat suddenly appeared on the river. Yu Dajiang hurriedly leaned his fishing boat to the side, and he made way for the big boat. In fact, the river is so wide, even if he doesn't give way, the people on the big boat are not blind, and they won't deliberately hit his fishing boat. Giving way is just a courtesy, and it is the default rule of fishermen on the river to give way to large boats.
I thought it would be okay to give way, but I didn't expect it to be okay not to give way, this time to give way, the big boat actually came to the small boat!
Yu Dajiang has been fishing for half his life, so the skill of the boat is naturally not said, he is always making way for the big boat. As a result, the river was so wide that the big boat did not go anywhere, but leaned towards his fishing boat. When they got closer, the father and daughter saw clearly that there were two people standing at the bow of the big boat, it was the Lei family fisherman and Zhang Laifu, the head of the security regiment! This is called the narrow road of the enemy, and they actually met again on the river!
