Zhang Yunfei was just shaking his mind for a moment, and he quickly collected his mind and no longer thought about what he had or didn't have.

took over the lunch box prepared for him by Li Ergou, and now the surroundings are full of devils, and there are also devils' reconnaissance planes in the sky, so it is naturally impossible to make a fire.

The food was compressed dry food seized from the devils, soaked in cold water, and two canned meat were placed on top.

Although they scavenged a lot of food from the devils, they now have a large population, and there is not much to share.

In addition, if you can't make a fire, some rice noodles will naturally be inedible, and it would be good for each person to be able to share some dry food and biscuits.

After experiencing bloody battlefields and high-intensity extreme marches, they lost their appetite, and food was a big problem.

In order to keep them strong, some biscuit foods with better taste were distributed to them.

As for the poor-tasting food such as compressed dry food, it can only be left to these warriors.

Meat is even less blessed for those logistical non-combatants, who now have to vomit when they see it.

Zhang Yunfei shaved the food, and from time to time took a small bite of diced meat to eat, without this bit of diced meat, it was really difficult to swallow.

Although the taste of the devil's compressed dry food is a little worse, it is still good to have a full stomach with non-staple food or food.

He remembered that he had resisted looting the dead's food, and now that looting the devil's loot had become their favorite.

In any case, the supplies carried by the devils were much better than those of their Eighth Route Army, especially during the sweeping period, the supplies carried by the devils were even more sufficient.

When the devil was sweeping and fighting, half of the weight was carried by food supplies, and for the Eighth Route Army, it was similar to a fat sheep.

But unfortunately, the devils in the sweep are very difficult to provoke, and it is not easy to fight their ideas.

While shaving food, Zhang Yunfei was thinking about things, now his troops were seriously insufficient, and after several battles, his three battalions were now completely crippled from half-crippled to crippled.

The personnel are only more than 100 people, less than the strength of a company, and they are really unable to fight anymore, even if those who can barely shoot are organized, they are counted as combatants.

That's less than 200 people, and now their army is no longer able to fight.

And the surrounding hostile situation is not known how much will change during this time.

At present, the devils in the surrounding area are repeatedly sweeping the surrounding area.

What would they do if they found out that they had far more non-combatants than cover.

After continuous marching operations, the troops are already very tired, which can be stiffened with willpower, the key is that the combat troops are insufficient, and this thing cannot be overcome by gritting teeth.

"The situation is serious now?" Zhao Min saw that he was worried about even eating, so he asked with concern.

"With such a small number of troops around you, you have to bring so many personnel, once you encounter the Japanese puppet army, you know what the consequences are, what is the consequence now, what I have a headache now is this matter, I can't fight, I can't run, we can only hide from the devil now."

"If you really want to be able to avoid the devils, it's okay, but the problem is that the devils are repeatedly sweeping the net, and you can't guarantee that the devils will turn around again and search our place?"

"Now the surrounding enemy situation is unknown, and the location of our brother troops is not clear, we are now fighting alone, basically isolated, what we need to do now is to go when we should go, and we must hide when we should hide, but do you see if this group of people can do it?"

Zhao Min: "......"

"I'm sorry, why am I telling you this?" Zhang Yunfei smiled apologetically, then picked up the lunch box and shaved the rice vigorously, holding his mouth bulging.

He swallowed the food desperately, not giving himself much time to react, because he was afraid that he would vomit, the little devil is really a cow, and he is really talented to make food so unpalatable.

"Are you stressed?"

"Why do you ask?" Zhang Yunfei said in astonishment.

"I just look like a little old man every time I see you, with a heavy mind, and I always feel like I'm going to work hard at any time."

Zhang Yunfei: "......"

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei was silent for a long time before he spoke: "There is no pressure to do anything, especially when every decision you make will determine the life and death of many people, you must be cautious." ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's explanation, Zhao Min nodded thoughtfully, and sighed endlessly: "You are the real man who stands up to the sky!" ”

"Ahem...... cough ......" Zhang Yunfei made the decision not to waste a grain of food.

I endured nausea and wanted to vomit, and swallowed the food that was hard to swallow, but in the end it was broken by her words, and I choked on the cough of the mission.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei's heart-rending cough, he hurriedly opened the kettle, poured saliva, and got through.

Seeing him so embarrassed, Zhao Min smiled, got up and said, "I'll go and see the situation of the wounded, you can slowly think about your affairs here." ”

Zhang Yunfei knew that she had a bit of a mischievous personality for a long time, looking at the back of her leaving, Zhang Yunfei shook his head funny, and said to Huzi beside him: "Go and inform the various company commanders and instructors, as well as Tie Dan and Li Da Tobacco Bag They will come to the meeting." ”

His three battalions have a total of three companies and two platoons, a total of five units, and the so-called company platoon is basically equivalent to five squads, and each one is more short than the other.

When the platoon commander and instructor of the company arrived, he spoke: "The current situation is clear to everyone, and now we can say that we have completely cut off contact with the brother troops, and with so many people who have no combat ability at all, it is not easy to avoid the sweep of the devils." ”

Everyone was silent, everyone was a veteran of combat experience, and naturally knew how bad the current situation and situation of the team was.

After being silent for a long time, He Jicheng spoke: "Why don't we send personnel to reconnoiter and see if we can find brother troops nearby." ”

Regarding He Jicheng's suggestion, Zhang Yunfei hesitated, but finally nodded, in his opinion, it was not very likely that there were his brother's troops nearby.

The devils sweep away, and the large army can naturally avoid as far as they can, how can there be troops operating here, but now they can only use dead horses as live horse doctors.

Zhang Yunfei took out the map from Huzi, centered on the map where they are now, drew a semicircle to the southeast, and then explained to Tie Dan: "You take a squad and immediately search the surrounding area to see if you can find our team, even if you can't find the team, see if you can find the local organization." ”

Now they have a large number of personnel, especially female soldiers and those who are purely civilian cadres, etc., and if some are diverted to the local level, the pressure on their contingent will be easier.

In the end, Zhang Yunfei instructed: "You trick me to show me bright spots, at this moment, the little devil will inevitably send some advance teams in plainclothes to go deep into our base area." ”

"You must be careful, don't find your own people, but lure the devil over."

Now that most of them have broken through, the division headquarters will not ignore them, and although the division headquarters is not capable of sending fighting troops to reinforce them, it will definitely send small forces to look for them.

"The distance of your activities is ten miles from where we are, and all the villages along the way, whether there are devils stationed or not, you are not allowed to enter, and our actions must be very cautious, so that the devils cannot discover our whereabouts.

For Zhang Yunfei's order, Tie Dan did not delay in the slightest, and immediately led a squad to the south to reconnoitre.

Even if they don't find their brother troops, they need to find out the surrounding situation and provide intelligence support for their next operations.

After sending off the iron egg, Zhang Yunfei picked up the telescope again and came to the commanding heights to observe the surrounding situation.

The village where the devils were active a few miles away is now gone, and the devils have evacuated, but when the devils were evacuating, they lit a fire.

The whole village was in flames at this time, echoing the sunset, reflecting the gradually fading sky.

Although the threat they are near is lifted, Zhang Yunfei still minds this group of devils who left, who knows if this group of devils will come back after a circle.

Since they had already burned down the village, they theoretically did not plan to come back, and even the villagers who were hiding in the distant villages knew that the devil was leaving, and immediately rushed home to put out the fire.

For the gradually darkening sky, Zhang Yunfei felt that something was wrong with the sudden evacuation of the devil.

The devils are not in an emergency, and they do not march and fight at night, but the devils stationed in the village have to leave in the evening, which logically means that the devils are likely to encounter something to do so.

The sentry who followed Zhang Yunfei and had been observing and monitoring the movements of the devils, saw Zhang Yunfei observing the situation in the distant village, and introduced: "Battalion commander, the devils stationed in that village are about the appearance of a small team, they may have some urgent tasks, and after they set fire to the village, they left directly." ”

"Battalion Commander Zhang, do we send people to follow the back of the devils, maybe they will leave when they find our brother troops, if we can really find our brother troops, our current predicament will be solved." He Jicheng, who followed him to inspect, put forward his opinion.

The intelligence information of the Eighth Route Army is seriously backward, and if you want to grasp the movements of your own people, it is a way to follow the devils.

They just followed the devil and found the besieged division personnel.

He Jicheng's words still made some sense, and in the end, Zhang Yunfei nodded, and instructed a squad leader on the guard post: "You take your squad and follow it, and see what these devils are doing, we just need to know their movements and what they do." ”

"Don't stick too close, it will be easy to expose the target, just follow them from a distance, if you follow the devil ten kilometers away and haven't moved, you can return."

If the devils evacuate too far, even if they have any actions, then they will not be able to whip them out, so naturally there is no need to continue to follow.

"Remember, you must conceal your whereabouts, no matter what actions the devil has, you don't act rashly, even if you find our brother troops, you don't need to say hello for the time being, anyway, as long as you find them, you won't lose them where you stay."

"Maybe we can still fight each other back and forth and kill this group of devils."

After Zhang Yunfei finished explaining, the reconnaissance squad in charge of the vigilance took a few soldiers around him to touch down the mountain, bypassed the village where the smoke was billowing and burning, and chased down in the direction of the devil's evacuation.

"Lao He, I always feel that the withdrawal of the devil this time is too strange, and I have a faint sense of foreboding."

"You're overthinking." He Jicheng really wants to say that you are sleep-deprived and suspicious.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the burning village in the telescope, and said to the tiger beside him: "You go back to the camp immediately and tell everyone that no one is allowed to take any action without my order." ”

"No smoking, no fires, no random movement, no unauthorized contact with the people in the village, and in addition, call Yang to teach them."

Before Yang Junjie and the others arrived at the observation point where Zhang Yunfei was, gunshots suddenly rang out in the distant village, and the devils who left in the evening did not go far, and they killed them again.

Hearing the gunshots, Zhang Yunfei raised his telescope to observe in the distance, but unfortunately it was already late now, and the distance was far away, except for the pitch black and the flashlight that kept scratching, he couldn't see anything else.

Zhang Yunfei knew that the gunshots were fired this time, and it should be the reconnaissance squad leader, who encountered the devil and shot to warn.

Seeing that Yang Junjie and the company commanders heard the gunshots, they hurriedly ran over, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly said: "Lao Sun, you take the people of your Eighth Company, immediately go around to the southeast direction, and lure these little devils away, don't fight hard with the other party, as long as you lead this group of devils away for a while, so that the people who are fighting the fire under the mountain can escape." ”

Although Zhang Yunfei knew that it was not appropriate to divide his troops at this time, he could not watch the devil who killed the horse gun block the people and slaughtered them.

The devils carried out a three-light policy for the people in the core area of the Eighth Route Army, which was inhumane, and in order to disintegrate the foundation of the Eighth Route Army, they adopted the practice of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle when they swept away. In the entire core area of Taihang, villages were slaughtered at every turn, and food and other necessary materials for survival were looted on a large scale.

The devils implemented a scorched earth policy on the entire Taihang region, they killed people when they met them, and the devils painstakingly made such a play, it could not be funny, and the comers were not good.

Their actions are likely to expose their whereabouts, but Zhang Yunfei knows that the people under the mountain must ask for it, but the actions of this group of devils are quite fast, and before Sun Zhiqiang's Eighth Company can maneuver back to their positions, they have already entered the village and surrounded the entire village.

And the reconnaissance squad leader who led the team and several soldiers around him, even if they were all selected elites, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't stop many devils.
