542 Set off in the rain
Knock Knock Knock β
The crisp knock on the door broke the dead silence of the night, except for the torrential rain that still ticked outside the house without stopping.
"Lao Xu, Lao Xu."
Crunch β
The wooden door was opened, revealing a somewhat delicate face, Xu Zilin's face was not sleepy, she looked at Han Feng in a daze.
"It's already early in the morning, Lao Xu, you don't seem to have slept much."
Xu Zilin said: "I heard the noise in your house, I got up, although it is raining heavily tonight, it is the best cover for our transfer, the position on the east bank of the Qin River has been in the hands of the Japanese army, Lao Han, you are ready to take advantage of this rainstorm to cross the Qin River!" β
"Old Xu, who knows me, yesterday the reconnaissance company has reported the situation back, a large number of Japanese troops have begun to approach our base area, it is estimated that in another day, this large net against our entire Yuenan base area will be completely formed.
At this time, if I can unknowingly seize the Japanese position on the east bank of the Qin River, it will be much easier for our main force to cross eastward. β
"Well, it's possible, isn't that ready to go? I'll go get ready. β
"No, this operation is not safe, I want you to follow the second and third battalions to move later."
Xu Zilin was stunned, "What about the regimental headquarters?" Old Han, didn't you say that the regimental headquarters would be with you? I belong to the regimental department, how can you leave me alone. β
"I'm sorry, I changed my mind."
"I won't obey the order every day, besides, don't forget, the political commissar and the regiment commander are at the same level."
Han Feng frowned, "The Qin River Basin, that is, the river surface we forcibly crossed, is dozens of meters wide, this operation, I am ready to follow the cover of the torrential rain, with part of the troops, plus the commando, secretly cross the Qin River from the upstream, and then take the Japanese positions on the east bank at night, and the other troops are concentrated in the north and south Kongtan on standby, ready to cover the other main forces to cross the Qin River eastward."
This means that the team I lead will encounter Japanese soldiers all the time, and I don't have the time to take care of you. β
"I have hands and feet, and I don't need you to take care of them."
"Can't you have any selfishness?"
Han Feng was still standing outside the wooden door, letting the rain trickle down his cheeks, just staring at Xu Zilin intently.
Xu Zilin was slightly stunned and said: "Old Han, you said that the war is coming, don't talk about the love of children, if the battle doesn't end for a day, I will always be your Lao Xu and your political commissar."
The political commissar should be with the regiment commander, not hide wherever it is safe. β
Han Feng was silent for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, then we will fight side by side, Lao Xu, prepare immediately, and prepare to set off immediately." β
"Okay."
The team quickly gathered under the rain curtain, and the six battalions, guard company, sharp knife company, and reconnaissance company of this operation were all assembled.
The team of more than 2,000 people was drenched in the rainstorm like a soup chicken, and the rain gear such as the coat was a minority after all, and most of the fighters, the thin shirts with patches had already been soaked by the rainstorm.
The same is true for the regiment commander Han Feng, under this raging rain curtain, Han Feng can hardly even clearly see the faces of the soldiers who are close to him.
However, the sound of roaring from the throat can be heard throughout the assembly field, especially since the only movement around it is the ticking of rain.
The first sentence, "Today, our brothers have the confidence to brave the torrential rain to cross the Qin River?" β
"Yesβ" roared in unison, and the roar was quickly covered by the rain curtain and did not come very far.
The second sentence: "It's raining so hard, is everyone cold?" Are you afraid? β
"Don't be afraidβ" No one hesitated, this team was so pure, pure and even a little stupid in the eyes of others, but it was this stupid team gathered together that was enough to save the invaded mountains and rivers.
If there are no more enthusiastic and stupid warriors in a team, then the team is no longer pure, and the heart does not want to get together again, let alone win any battles.
The third sentence: "Brothers, I know that the rain is very heavy, and the clothes are soaked with water, but it is not faster to take a natural rain bath on this hot day, everyone can rest assured, and when the brothers complete the task, cross the Qin River, and stabilize themselves, Lao Tzu will boil a large pot of white sugar ginger water for everyone to drive away the cold." β
"As for now, listen to my orders, and the brothers in the team who have fought on the battlefield will stand up for me."
Under ββ, rain, nearly a thousand people stood out from more than 2,000 soldiers, and it seemed that they were soldiers who had participated in the Battle of Linfen.
Han Feng said to the nearly 1,000 people again: "Very good, then now please stand up among you brothers who have fought and killed devils." β
This time, in silence, only more than 300 people stood up.
"I have participated in white-knuckle battles and stabbed the little devils to death again."
Han Feng's words fell, and only Liao Liao was left with fifty-six people.
Han Feng said with a smile: "Okay, they are all good, the brothers who have been on the battlefield, killed devils, and even stabbed devils in white-knuckle battles are all good, as for those brothers who have not been on the battlefield, this opportunity is in front of them." But you have to hurry up, don't make people laugh about it in the future, you haven't even killed a devil, that's not our Eighth Route Army, it's not my Han Feng's soldiers, what is it? It's a coward.
The following is Lao Tzu's order, from now on, these 56 brothers are temporarily merged into the commando, led by the captain Duan Peng.
In addition, more than 300 brothers form the vanguard company, and this time your sequence of actions is only after the commando.
As for the rest, monks. β
"Here."
"The political commissar will work with you, you and the political commissar will lead the remaining troops to gather at the north and south Kongtan and stand by, once our main force crosses the Qin River eastward, your task is to block the pursuing Japanese army and cover the eastward crossing of the main force."
"Yes."
Xu Zilin was a little stunned, this was almost the first time that Han Feng gave her military power, but there were nearly 2,000 people at once, and she suddenly felt a little flustered, for fear that she would not command properly and cause some serious consequences.
Han Feng patted her on the shoulder, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it's just a war, it's not as difficult as you think, you are much stronger than me in terms of military theory, as long as you are familiar with the battlefield a few more times, you will not be worse than anyone else, besides, there is also the monk that kid to be your staff officer." β
"Let's go!"
The team set off in such a majestic manner, even if it braved the storm, the heroic spirit of the soldiers was not weakened in the slightest.
A pair of big feet, some without even shoes, imprinted rows of footprints on the muddy ground, no one hesitated, no one was afraid, when a single person formed a group of courageous forward, then not only the group, but even the individuals in the group, will become fearless.
All the fighters are in high spirits and are looking forward to the coming of this battle.
The torrential downpour still has no sign of stopping......
