Chapter 41 The county seat of Xi'an
Siping Railway Station has three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the military and police are all over the platform. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Ren Laifeng took a train and encountered this face, fortunately, although the situation was unexpected, he was not unprepared at all. Scattering the others, Ren Laifeng took Feng Wenying, Huang Guojin, Wuyun, and Qiqige to go out together.
With Huang Guojin, a Japanese expert, accompanying him, the journey was almost unimpeded. Even if there were Japanese spies or gendarmes blocking the road to search, Huang Guojin went up and communicated in Japanese, and the other side immediately let him go.
It took about twenty minutes to leave the train station and the group walked to the outskirts. On the outskirts, they met the first unit of our army, a reconnaissance detachment. When the reconnaissance platoon commander recognized that the tall young man dressed as a businessman in front of him was Ren Laifeng, his excited expression startled Ren Laifeng.
Although he was trying his best to cover it up, the reconnaissance platoon commander, who was still shrewd and resolute and had a cold expression just now, now his face was flushed, and even the tone of his speech had changed, which was indeed surprising enough.
"Commander-in-chief, where are you going? Jing Wenliang's department is willing to escort you there! The reconnaissance platoon commander puffed up his chest, although his voice was still trembling, but the meaning was clear and clear, he was willing to escort the commander-in-chief to any place!
"Thank you, Platoon Commander Jing. You find a place closer for me to rest. Also, do you know how to contact your Captain Ling? If you can get in touch, you can tell him to come here and find me. ā
"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Jing Wenliang agreed loudly. Immediately, he escorted Ren Laifeng to a small village less than two kilometers away. There are about thirty or forty families living in the small village, and there is no one in one of the courtyards guarding the entrance of the village, which is an empty house, and Jing Wenliang led Ren Laifeng into this empty courtyard.
"Commander-in-Chief, please. This courtyard was left by an ancestor of one of our brothers in the platoon, and you can come whenever you want and stay as long as you want. The brother had died. His family also died in the hands of the Japanese, and only this old mansion remained. ā
It turned out to be the former residence of martyrs. Ren Laifeng visited the courtyard with a solemn mood. Maybe it's because of his mood, but he likes the simple style of this courtyard. But he can't live here now, he's not here to relax, he still has important combat missions. This courtyard can rest for a while, and let the wind stay here and wait for the stunned to come and meet.
The speed of the stunned came quickly. Wuyun and Qiqige worked together to fiddle with the stove, lit a fire and boiled water, and Ren Laifeng just drank a sip of hot tea, and arrived in a daze.
"Headquarters!" He walked into the house with a stunned cry, and when he saw Ren Laifeng for the first time, his face was obviously full of surprise.
Ren Laifeng was naturally happy when he saw that he was stunned. With stunnedness, he is equivalent to an extra strong arm. Stunned, his comprehensive ability and loyalty are among the best, and he is one of the few people Ren Laifeng trusts the most. As soon as he was stunned, Ren Laifeng had confidence in his heart.
Xi'an County is still more than 100 miles away. Now that it has been confirmed that the important figures of the Allied forces to be rescued are all locked up in the prisoner of war camp in Xi'an County, it is time to concentrate on attacking that prisoner of war camp.
It's still a bit far from the prisoner of war camp, but the courtyard is quiet, and the village is far from the hustle and bustle. After resting enough in the small courtyard, he left some money for his neighbors who often came to clean as a thank-you gift, and let the wind lead his troops to leave the village and head east. Target, Xi'an County, Siping Province.
Xi'an County is more than 150 miles southeast of Siping. Ren Laifeng is now in the eastern suburbs of Siping City, not even twenty miles away from Siping. He can't wait for too many troops to wait for the troops here, and the troops of the entire division and brigade will not come here, because it is too close to Siping City. Troops of the guard battalion and reconnaissance regiment came.
The guard battalion, because it has not been following Ren Laifeng all the time, has a new face joining the team, and Ren Laifeng himself has never seen it. Ask Xizi, Xizi knows more about the soldiers in the battalion, and he can tell the background of those newcomers in one bite.
With the guard battalion and the reconnaissance battalion, there are almost 1,000 people. Ren Laifeng sent a telegram to all the participating troops one by one, asking them to speed up their march, pay attention to concealment, get as close as possible to Xi'an County, and wait for battle orders at any time.
The telegram was sent to all the troops, and after receiving a reply from each unit, Ren Laifeng set off with nearly 1,000 people from the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion. One hundred and fifty miles, seventy kilometers. You can get there in two hours by car, and it's not uncommon to walk on two legs for two or three days.
The vehicles are basically concentrated in the Flying Tiger Camp. Now that the Flying Tiger Battalion has not yet come, Ren Laifeng is no longer willing to take the soldiers to walk the seventy kilometers on two legs after one night.
According to the speed of five kilometers per hour, you can walk for seven hours a day and walk to Xi'an County in two days. Ren Laifeng led a march of thousands of troops this time, and the speed should be a little faster than five kilometers, probably six to seven kilometers. On the first day, I walked nearly 90 miles, and on the second day, I got up early in the morning, and at dawn I had breakfast and started on the road. By the time it got dark, according to the scout in front, Xi'an County had arrived!
Ren Laifeng stayed outside the city for another night, and the next day he approached the county seat of Xi'an. I found a hostel, booked a room, finished freshening up and finished breakfast, and took people to see the prisoner camp on the outskirts of Xi'an.
In the distance, you can see high fences, arrow towers, and Japanese soldiers. It's just that you can't see the Allied captives inside the fence walls. It took almost a day to circle around the perimeter of the prisoner of war camp, which was so large that it was estimated to cover an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and it was not known how many Allied prisoners of war were held inside. One or two hundred? Or one or two thousand? Or are they thousands? Anyway, in such a big place, there will be no fewer people!
Take a walk around the perimeter, and the day will pass. After returning to Xi'an County in the evening, everyone gathered around to discuss how to carry out this battle. It is more reasonable to find a breakthrough first. As for the breakthrough, since the enemy has built the prisoner of war camp outside the county seat, then they must have an intricate relationship in the county seat, so let's start from the county seat. I don't believe that I can't find a breakthrough!
was stunned to do this, and Ren Laifeng handed over this task to the head of the reconnaissance team.
