The Yellow River is turbulent and has become a barrier to the southward flow of the Sanjin Dynasty, but no matter how turbulent the river is, there is always a section with a slow flow level.

When the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain broke out, a large number of people borrowed private boats, or simply set up their own bamboo rafts, crossed the river from the gentle Yellow River node, and fled.

This time, under the leadership of Han Feng, the place where the Far Eastern Regiment crossed the river was the place where the assault team waded in the water when they rushed to the Luxi base area, leaving a thick hemp rope in the flowing water.

The comrades of the reconnaissance platoon had already secretly set up five large bamboo rafts to hide in this mountain forest, and this time they naturally came in handy, with the help of this hemp rope hanging on the surface of the river, which was artificially pulled, and they could easily cross the river.

"Lao Hei, just in case, send all the comrades of the reconnaissance platoon out to be on guard all around, and if there is any trouble, immediately hide urgently."

"Yes."

"Cross the river!"

With the help of the last day, the comrades of the Far Eastern regiment began to cross the river.

The rafts were slowly dragged into the water, which was not too fast, and with the help of hemp ropes suspended above the water, each raft could carry nearly ten warriors across the river at the same time.

Han Feng ordered: "Take the squad as a unit, the veterans take care of the recruits, the soldiers go first, and the cadres follow last, after crossing the river, don't delay time, immediately move forward in concealment on the other side of the river, start to set up the camp in the agreed place, and wait for the whole regiment to meet." ”

Under the command of Han Feng, the crossing of the river began.

Looking up, I don't know when, the hazy moonlight is dotted with dappled stars.

There are 1,084 people here, so many comrades' lives, all depend on themselves, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is extremely grim, far less optimistic than in the Sanjin region, it is very likely that there is no military supply in the whole process, the mass base is even weaker, and there is almost no material source.

This time in the Far East, when I went there was a majestic group of people, when I came back, how many people would be left?

Han Feng grabbed a lump of dirt and threw it into the rushing water of the Yellow River.

Or rather, there will be nothing left.

It's as if the mud was thrown into the water of the Yellow River, which is rolling eastward, and soon dissipates into it, never to be seen again.

Of course, at least they can leave a little trace between heaven and earth, and those who care about themselves, Lao Xu, Lao Shi, and Lao Deng, must still remember themselves and remember this Far Eastern regiment.

Dong Chenghai didn't know when he stood by Han Feng's side, "Commander, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Han Feng said with a smile: "It's not a matter of my heart, but I feel a little emotional, my brothers trust me and entrust my life to me, on the surface I can pretend to be casual, calm and calm, in the bottom of my heart, I often think, what I do, is it really competent?"

There are so many people, when I leave, I want to swear to my brothers, don't worry, how many people are there when you go, and how many people will come back, I will bring you all back alive!

But everyone knows that this is too unrealistic, so I didn't say it, I can't say it, I just told myself in my heart to try to bring every brother back alive. ”

Dong Chenghai said with a smile: "Regiment commander, when I was in the national army, I didn't have a good impression of your Eighth Route Army, but do you know what I admire most about your Eighth Route Army?" ”

Han Feng raised his head, waiting for Dong Chenghai's answer.

"Fearless, to put it simply, not afraid of death, I was very curious at the time, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy money, but your Eighth Route Army is not to say that it is a rich woman, even the military salary is not paid, and the two sets of military uniforms in winter and summer are very difficult.

It was a good day...... I don't dare to say that there are too many, if the days of the Guo Army and the Eighth Route Army are reversed.

In that case, we can imagine that the Eighth Route Army was full of food and high morale, and dared to fight with the little devils, but what about the fruit army? It is estimated that it will not take half a month, let alone a war, and the soldiers will be gone.

Regiment commander, since the brothers are following you, there is no fear of death, they are all voluntary, soldiers die on the battlefield, that is the best destination, but also the highest honor, why did it come to an end, but you softened your heart first? ”

Han Feng smiled bitterly: "I am not afraid of death in war, what I am most afraid of is the brothers, relatives and friends around me, one by one I die one step ahead of myself, sometimes I can die in front of my brothers, but it is a kind of happiness." ”

"Anyway, sooner or later, I will die, didn't the ancients also say, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, of course, although I also read, but I have always felt that this sentence is nonsense.

Nothing else, there are people here, he is afraid of death, and he is very afraid, as long as you don't kill him, you let him do anything, so in our land, there is never a shortage of heroes of the War of Resistance, and there is no shortage of weak traitors and lackeys.

But some people, on the contrary, he was born with a bad fate, so he had to go to the battlefield and fight with the devil, you let him be a traitor and traitor, he can't sleep well, he can't eat, he feels uncomfortable, he has no choice, he has to be those heroes praised by everyone.

I think our group is more unlucky, this is the second group of people.

I didn't think much about it, anyway, I went to the battlefield to fight devils, the brothers carried guns together, were bombarded together, and were bombed, and if I could live one day at a time, if I really beat the devils, there would still be my life, that would be in the future, and I would worry about it later! ”

Dong Chenghai, as a typical military family in the Guojun faction, has the best vision and insight among the three battalion commanders, there is no doubt about this.

The character is bold and iron-clad, but it also does not lack delicate mind and keen observation.

If the monk and Sun Desheng were standing beside Han Feng, it would never be possible to say such a thing.

Great, monk: "Third brother, just say how to fight, I will listen to you." ”

Sun Desheng: "Commander, I have never had any emotion, Lao Tzu knows one thing, open your eyes to kill devils, close your eyes and sleep, and don't care about anything else." ”

Really speaking, in addition to political commissar Xu Zilin, the person who can communicate with Han Feng heart-to-heart is Dong Chenghai, the commander of the second battalion.

Han Feng stretched out his arms wantonly, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Old Dong, what you said makes sense, but I'm confused." ”

Dong Chenghai said: "I have also had this feeling of the regiment commander, one is when I heard the news of the death of the commander of the army, and the other is when I decided to lead the whole regiment to become a benevolent, and watched the brothers around me fall under the devil's machine gun one after another.

That feeling...... Commander, you're right, sometimes you can die in front of your brothers, but it's a kind of happiness and relief. ”

Han Feng said: "I haven't said such frustrating words. ”

Dong Chenghai was stunned, looked at Han Feng's serious appearance, and was defeated, "Okay, I said this." ”

"The fruit army is mixed, we can't spoil a pot of soup because of a few mouse droppings.

Jiang Long once said that most of the soldiers in the fruit army are good, but his mother's generals are not good, one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted, this is the truth.

And those generals who graduated from Whampoa and the generals who sincerely resisted Japan, which one is not a blood spiller, defending the family and defending the country, and the horse leather shroud, this is a great pride and should be admired by the people of the world. ”

Han Feng looked at the scene of the bamboo raft sliding forward on the river surface and the soldiers paddling hard to pull the hemp rope, and said: "In the final analysis, the fruit army is mixed with the old and the new, and the innovation is not to the end, if a brand new thing wants to grow, it must get rid of all the old dross." ”

Dong Chenghai was shocked, "I've been taught." ”

Han Feng smiled: "It's off topic to say so much, Lao Dong, it's time for us to cross the river." ”

"Yes."
