At the end of April, Hunan is already quite hot, and the abundant heat and abundant rivers in the Yongxing area create a warm and humid environment. Even in spring, the mountains are already a world of lush vegetation and life.

In such a beautiful green nature, with the shouts of human beings, Yin Hong's liquid is splashing. Wu Xiaohua is only about 1.6 meters tall, she carried a rifle with a bayonet, and struggled to stab at a regimental training in front of her who was about the same size as her.

The regimental trainer never expected that Wu Xiaohua, who was so frightened that his face turned pale, would start hand-to-hand combat like a man in the blink of an eye, and when he was caught off guard, the sharp steel bayonet cut a long knife under the right rib of the regimental training. As soon as Wu Xiaohua succeeded, she drew back her rifle according to her usual training, wanting to take out the enemy with another shot in the chest.

After the group practice was injured, he shouted in pain, he threw down the spear in his hand, his eyes flashed with a crazy look like a wounded beast, and he actually pounced and grabbed Wu Xiaohua's rifle tightly with both hands. Wu Xiaohua, like all the officers and soldiers of the Liberation Army, had received strict training in bayonet warfare, and in terms of combat skills alone, he was afraid that he was much better than those men who had not received formal military training. But as the saying goes, one force will drop ten. The opponent grabbed Wu Xiaohua's rifle, and the women still suffered a lot when the two were fighting for weapons.

Wu Xiaohua tried several times, but she couldn't get the rifle back. At this moment, he heard an angry roar, and another group trainer rushed up from the right, he held a spear and stabbed at Wu Xiaohua.

"Woohoo", two gunshots. The man who fought with Wu Xiaohua for the rifle, and the man who wanted to take the opportunity to come over and sneak attack, both fell to the ground. Wu Xiaohua turned her head and saw Zheng Yufeng carrying a rifle in her left hand and a Zuo pistol in her right hand, and there was still green smoke coming out of the muzzle of the Zuo pistol.

Turning slightly, he fired two more shots and knocked down two nearby regimental trainers. Zheng Yufeng immediately leaned the rifle to his side, opened the dial wheel of the ZOC wheel pistol, poured out the empty cartridge case, and began to continue to reload the wheel into the wheel.

I didn't feel it when I was fighting with the bayonet, but after regaining the bayonet at this time, Wu Xiaohua only felt that her lungs were about to burn when she was panting. The rifle, which is usually heavier, weighs even more like a thousand pounds at this time, and it is almost impossible to hold. At this moment, Wu Xiaohua raised her rifle and fired a shot in the direction of Zheng Yufeng. A regimental trainer who pounced on Zheng Yufeng from behind was shot in the chest, took another step forward, and then threw himself forward and fell to the ground.

Zheng Yufeng had already finished loading the zuo wheel pistol at this time, she stuck the zuo wheel pistol in her waist, picked up the rifle, opened the chamber and loaded it with bullets. Wu Xiaohua took a few steps forward and leaned behind Zheng Yufeng, and also began to reload bullets. The rifles of the Liberation Army were self-retracting, and the two female soldiers stood back to back, with their comrades behind them, and after they quickly reloaded, they opened fire on the enemy who was approaching in front of them.

At this time, the shouting and killing were loud, and on the slopes of the mountains, more than 20 soldiers of the Guangfu Army and more than 200 Hunan troops and regimental training were fighting in a melee.

More than an hour ago, a small unit that had gone to Xiangyindu Town to buy things suddenly heard a comrade from the unit who was in charge of monitoring the Qing army in Yongxing on the way to warn him. Then dozens of team drills rushed out in front.

The platoon commander shouted: "Protect the goods!" "Even if it's just a truckload of goods, it's not cheap.

Listening to the platoon commander's shout, Zheng Yufeng immediately said: "What kind of goods are you protecting at this time, hurry up and withdraw while still returning the goods!" ”

"Huh?" The platoon commander was stunned, and he didn't even understand what Zheng Yufeng meant.

Zheng Yufeng didn't personally participate in many battles, so this few battles left a deep impression on her. It was May 1852, when Wei Ze returned from Wuzhou to chase the main force of the Taiping army. Liu Changqing, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, led his troops to attack Wei Ze's troops, and Wei Ze asked the female troops to cover the old and weak and pretend to retreat, discarding a lot of property along the way. The Qing army scrambled over these things and messed up the formation, allowing Wei Ze's troops to calmly set up a pocket formation. Annihilated most of Liu Changqing's troops in one fell swoop.

After that battle, Zheng Yufeng firmly remembered one thing, for the Manchu armed forces, whether they wanted to disturb them or delay their actions, the best way was to discard valuable things along the way. The armed forces of the Manchus fought for property, which gave the troops time to move freely.

Later, when the Liberation Army was fighting, it would generally gather troops and a huge advantage in firepower, and this kind of small trick was naturally never used again. And now that the squad has obviously been ambushed, the closer regimental training is nothing remarkable, but the Qing army that has not yet appeared will not be a small number. What is most needed at this time is to quickly withdraw to the camp.

"You can't lose this thing, otherwise you won't be able to go back and explain it!" The platoon commander didn't know if he understood Zheng Yufeng's thoughts, and he immediately vetoed Zheng Yufeng's construction.

Zheng Yufeng immediately retorted: "Where is the value of human life, we can return to the army safely, and no matter how much things we have, we can fight back." ”

The platoon commander was speechless for a while, this was true, but he still couldn't accept the action of just throwing away the cargo and retreating. The platoon commander is a second lieutenant, and Zheng Yufeng is also a second lieutenant. The highest-ranking person in the team is the second lieutenant, and the platoon commander is the military commander, so the military command is naturally in charge. No longer arguing with Zheng Yufeng, the platoon commander shouted: "Hurry up and retreat!" ”

Although the frame car with roller bearings is lightweight, it cannot go over the mountains. The troops began to retreat back along the main road.

The platoon commander was behind the rear hall, and while retreating, he shouted to everyone: "Comrades, hurry up and run, as long as we cross the three-way intersection, we will be safe!" ”

Zheng Yufengxin said that the enemy was attacking back and forth, and I was afraid that it was not a temporary idea, but a trap that had already joined forces with Tuanlian's subordinates. At this time, it is not easy to run to the three-way intersection before the enemy. But the troops ran in front, and the platoon commander was behind the palace, so she could not organize the troops to move, and she was afraid that she would not be able to convince the platoon commander. Zheng Yufeng had no choice but to move forward quickly with the troops.

Sure enough, the worst situation happened, and before I reached the fork in the road, I saw a large group of Qing troops in front of me. When the platoon commander saw it, he hurriedly caught up with the troops, and he shouted, "Take the goods and evacuate!" ”

Zheng Yufeng immediately objected: "How can you run with so many things?" ”

"Just leave these things to the enemy?" The platoon commander shouted.

"Paying for your life for this thing?" Zheng Yufeng pushed back.

The platoon commander's face was full of chagrin, but reason still prevailed at this time, and he shouted: "Bring the valuable things, everyone retreat to the mountain." ”

"Platoon commander, no matter how valuable the goods are, no human life is worth anything! I can't afford to lose my life for this little thing! Zheng Yufeng's crisp voice almost had a crying sound in it, it was not because she was scared to cry in the face of fear, but because she couldn't help but bring out the strong feelings that she couldn't help but bring out in order to save the lives of her comrades.

The platoon commander gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, "I don't have anything with me, withdraw!" ”

The troops dropped their cargo and began to run towards the mountain. Behind the troops, the Qing army and dozens of regiments chased after them like crazy. A shout rang out from the crowd of the Qing army: "Grab one and reward ten taels of silver!" Grab one and reward ten taels of silver! ”

Stimulated by such a bounty, seeing that the number of troops of the Guangfu Army was not large, a howl broke out in the Hunan army, and they were also accustomed to walking mountain roads.

Although the Guangfu Army is also good at walking mountain roads, they are not locals after all, and they are not familiar with the terrain. Although the nutrition is good, the body is better than the pursuers, but after running for a while, because they can't find the best route, the distance between them and the Hunan army, which is not far, has become shorter.

Zheng Yufeng panted and shouted, "Platoon commander, let's find a place to hold on now." The troops will be able to come soon, and the closer we are to the troops, the sooner we will be able to get reinforcements. ”

The platoon commander also ran out of breath, he swallowed his saliva, and said, "The Hunan army will definitely send someone to defend it...... Hold the junction, we'll just do that,...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to increase my ...... Reinforcements are coming! ”

As he was talking, a flat ground appeared in front of him, and the platoon commander led his troops to the flat ground, preparing to straighten out and look at the direction of the retreat. At this moment, more than two hundred enemies were suddenly killed from the oblique side. There is a Hunan army, and there is a regimental exercise. Although they ran out of breath one by one like the Liberation Army, the Liberation Army did not expect that the enemy would take a small road and go around to the front. Caught off guard, he was rushed into the ranks by the Hunan army. The troops did not have time to organize a platoon of guns, so they could only immediately launch a counterattack.

Not only did the male fighters engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat, but the two female fighters were equally engaged in the fight.

The battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the Guangfu army lost more than a dozen soldiers, but the Hunan army and the regimental trainers suffered more than 60 casualties, and the remaining more than 100 people no longer dared to continue the battle with this incomparably brave force. Someone took the lead, and other Hunan troops and regimental exercises also ran away. But they ran away, but they didn't run away. Only escaped a few dozen meters, and the escaped Hunan army and regimental training stopped. They hid behind trees or rocks and shouted at the Liberation Army squad: "You can't run!" ”

Zheng Yufeng and Wu Xiaohua stood back to back, both of them could feel the fierce breathing of the comrades behind them, and in less than ten minutes of fighting, their bodies had already been exhausted. As soon as their legs went limp, they both began to sit down. Fortunately, there was someone behind him, and he finally didn't fall to the ground, but sat on the ground softly.

The platoon commander was also sweating profusely at this time, he gasped and began to gather his troops, and the lightly injured comrades could still be taken away, but the seriously injured comrades could not be brought with them. Send someone to set up Zheng Yufeng and Wu Xiaohua who were sitting on the ground. The troops began to continue their retreat. The ghost of the enemy followed far behind, and he had no intention of giving up.

The defeat lasted for more than ten minutes, and suddenly a loud gunfire was heard in the distance. The platoon commander was in good spirits, and the place where there was such a fierce gunfire was naturally the rescue troops and the Hunan army began to engage fire. As long as you can get close to the big army, you can be saved. Small units began to retreat in the direction of the gunfire.

After running for a while, a group of Hunan troops suddenly stood up from the cliff on the right side of the troops, and they opened heavy fire on the Guangfu army through a deep ditch. The Guangfu Army sent an outpost, but they never expected that the enemy had already run to the other side of the deep ditch, and was caught off guard, and was knocked down by the dense fire from more than 40 meters away. The Hunan troops, who had been following behind, saw that their own people had succeeded in the ambush, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they began to chase after them with a shout.

Soon, the smoke caused by the continuous shooting of the Hunan army obscured the view, and the platoon gun shooting of the Hunan army finally stopped, and the platoon commander seized this time and shouted: "First squad leader, you and the rest of the first squad retreat with two female comrades." Second squad leader, you retreat in the opposite direction. The rest of my comrades and I are here to stop the enemy! ”

Without waiting for Zheng Yufeng to speak, three soldiers came up, dragged Zheng Yufeng and Wu Xiaohua and retreated in the direction where the Hunan army had not yet been found. Another small force moved in the opposite direction of their retreat, firing their guns and moving at the same time. The comrades who remained on the "position" first opened heavy fire on the Hunan troops on the opposite side of the deep ditch, and as there was a scream from the Hunan troops on the opposite side, these stubborn comrades fired at the Hunan troops who were following behind. Although it did not hit a few Hunan troops, it also temporarily blocked their movements.

Zheng Yufeng and the others withdrew for a while, and the gunfire and shouts behind them were much farther away, and in a mountain pass, five exhausted soldiers finally couldn't help but sit down and rest. The retreat was too "new" for everyone. Since the establishment of the Liberation Army, the troops have not experienced a tired mountain march, but without exception, they have pursued the enemy, not been pursued by the enemy. Wu Xiaohua lay on the hillside, looking at the blue sky. She didn't know what to say at this point. She didn't feel anything other than being unreal.

A small stone rolled down from above, it bounced on the rock, and flew over Wu Xiaohua's arm in an arc, although it was very close to her arm, it didn't touch her arm at all. Wu Xiaohua felt funny in her heart, it turned out that there was really such a coincidence.

Before the funny feeling had time to subside, several people suddenly pounced down from the top of the hill. The squad leader and two other fighters were already fighting the enemy. But everyone ran for so long, where was the strength, and the enemy had a knife, and with a few screams, the squad leader and two fighters were quickly killed by the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

Wu Xiaohua wanted to get up to help, but was stopped by a person and hugged and pressed under her. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from the enemy's control. Suddenly, there was another burst of gunshots, and Wu Xiaohua could hear that it was the sound of Zheng Yufeng's pistol.

The man who was suppressed on Wu Xiaohua's body suddenly shook, and with the strong bloody aura, a hot thing flowed onto Wu Xiaohua's face. Pushing away the corpse pressed on his body, as soon as he was halfway up, Wu Xiaohua saw a man pounce on Zheng Yufeng's back, and he stabbed Zheng Yufeng's back with a knife. A knife entered, and the man drew his knife and shouted, "Die! ”

But as soon as he shouted, someone behind the man waved a big knife, and the person who stabbed Zheng Yufeng with a single slash. This man didn't stop, he swung a few more knives and killed the two people next to him. At this time, I heard someone next to me shouting a few words in Hunan dialect, and Wu Xiaohua was dizzy and didn't understand. The man who killed the Xiang army turned over Zheng Yufeng, who was still lying on the ground. Wu Xiaohua hurriedly ran to Zheng Yufeng's side, only to see that Zheng Yufeng's face was pale, but her eyes were still bright.

"This, my name is Lu Shangyang, and I am your Zhou Jinguo...... of fellow villagers. I'm here to help you go. "The person who killed the Xiang army and saved the two was Lu Shangyang. It was Lu Shangyang's brother Lu Shangyi who was yelling at Lu Shangyang.

Hear Zhou Jinguo's name, and the same accent as Zhou Jinguo. Zheng Yufeng has been able to determine that what Lu Shangyang said is probably the truth. At this moment, there was another shouting in the distance, obviously coming towards the place where the gun was fired.

Lu Shangyang's face changed, he gritted his teeth, and said, "This eldest sister, there are only two people on our side, so I can't take you away." ”

"You take our comrades away. Leave me alone. Zheng Yufeng said with a smile.

Wu Xiaohua was frightened by Zheng Yufeng's words, she grabbed Zheng Yufeng's arm and cried: "I'm not leaving!" I'm not going! Sister Zheng, let's die together! ”

"This eldest sister, you are such a man!" Lu Shangyang praised. He glanced at his brother Lu Shangyi, Lu Shangyi suddenly dragged Wu Xiaohua from behind, Lu Shangyang took off his Hunan army uniform and covered Wu Xiaohua's head, and then carried Wu Xiaohua on his back and left.

Watching the two forcibly take Wu Xiaohua, who was trying to resist, away, Zheng Yufeng was startled at first. But she soon understood that if Wu Xiaohua was allowed to cry again, she would never be able to leave. Although they don't have much confidence in this fellow villagers of Zhou Jinguo, they are much more reliable than those Hunan troops.

The sound behind her was getting closer and closer, Zheng Yufeng endured the pain on her back and got up, she picked up a rifle, and regardless of whether she could see the enemy or not, she fired a shot in the direction where the enemy came. Attract the enemy and give Wu Xiaohua who escaped as much time as possible. Zheng Yufeng can't retreat with Wu Xiaohua, so he can only do this.

Soon, Xiang Jun appeared in Zheng Yufeng's field of vision, and she struggled to load and reload her rifle. Shooting at the Hunan army began. The Hunan army immediately hid behind rocks and trees, and at the same time excitedly shouted: "There is a female Cantonese bandit!" ”

"Catch it alive! Catch it alive! ”

"Humph!" Zheng Yufeng laughed contemptuously. She pulled out a notebook from her bosom, and after she started typing, she glued a photo to the inside of the notebook cover. In the photo, Zheng Yufeng and her husband Ruan Zhihao are sitting side by side, and in the middle is a cute baby. That was Zheng Yufeng's son Ruan Xinguo.

Zheng Yufeng stared at her beloved son, her eyes were all tender, and even the unique smile of a mother when she looked at her child appeared on her face. Her right hand raised her pistol and pressed it against her temple. Closing his eyes, Zheng Yufeng's mind clearly recalled every bit of how he and his son were together, the little identity snuggled up to Zheng Yufeng, the faltering baby trying to walk to Zheng Yufeng's side, and the babbling and vague childish voice shouting "Mom".

"New country! I'm sorry! As a soldier of the Liberation Army, my mother will not be a prisoner. Zheng Yufeng said to his son with a look in his heart.

Then Zheng Yufeng remembered her husband Ruan Zhihao, this pistol was given to Zheng Yufeng by Ruan Zhihao for her self-defense. "Zhihao, I didn't expect the pistol you gave me to help me in the end! In the future, you will have to bring up the child alone! Zheng Yufeng showed an apologetic wry smile on his face, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The Hunan army, who was hiding not far away, looked at the female Guangfu Army soldier opposite him with a strange handcuff to his head, although the meaning of this action was extremely clear, but they couldn't understand what was going on at all.

The shots rang out, and the female warrior's head was pierced by bullets and she lay limply on the ground. The hearts of the Hunan soldiers seemed to have been slammed with a heavy hammer. Being killed by the enemy and captured by the enemy is all imaginable by the Hunan army. They had seen killings, and some of them had been prisoners of the Liberation Army. But in order not to be captured, they chose to commit suicide, such an action is completely beyond their imagination,

The Hunan soldiers stood up in unison and slowly moved closer to the body of the female soldier. Not long ago, when they saw this injured female soldier, in addition to the boiling killing intent, they also had the urge to ravage and bully the female soldier.

At this time, all disrespectful thoughts had disappeared without a trace, and I watched the female soldier lying quietly on the ground. The Hunan army who surrounded her didn't even have the idea of searching for her belongings. In addition to the shock, all that remained in their hearts was respect.
