541 The war began
Surge forward.
The beautiful sky was suddenly obscured by dark clouds, and the gloomy sky signaled a storm to come.
Maybe it's because the intelligence at the headquarters is accurate, or maybe it's because the Japanese army can't wait.
In May, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, launched by the Japanese army, had just ended, perhaps in the spirit of striking while the iron was hot, or perhaps the Japanese army had detected that the Eighth Route Army had a tendency to advance towards Zhongtiao Mountain.
At the end of September, as obtained from the intelligence of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the 35th, 36th, 41st, and 69th divisions of the Japanese army transferred more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers, plus nearly 50,000 puppet troops to cooperate.
The storm is coming, and the new third regiment, the independent regiment, and the regimental headquarters of the 17th regiment have all received the task instructions of their superiors about this battle.
Beginning in the early morning of the 21st, the extremely gloomy dark clouds could no longer contain the moisture that filled the clouds, and the torrential rain poured down, and soon washed away the mud roads in various parts of the mountains.
It was still evening, after the heavy rain poured, the few patches of thatch on the roof of the earthen house were soon eroded by the rain, and the whole house began to drip and drip, and the beds, tables and chairs, and the ground were full of potholes and stagnant water.
At the end of September, fortunately, the residual heat of summer was still there, and it was not too cold.
The guard, Zhang Daring, was used to sleeping in a kimono, and did not take off a single piece of clothing, and was hurriedly dealing with the stagnant water everywhere.
Han Feng waved his hand, and at some point, he suddenly sat up from the bed, he casually put on a somewhat damp coat, and shouted: "Daring, it's raining so hard, don't care about the stagnant water, you can't handle it, come and sit down for a while, let's chat." ”
"Hey."
Zhang Daring responded, sat down on Han Feng's bed, and then his buttocks were cold, and it turned out that the straw on the bed was already full of stagnant water.
Zhang Daring saw that the back of the regiment leader's clothes had already been soaked with stagnant water, and he hurriedly wanted to take off his clothes, "Commander, my clothes are dry, you can wear them!" ”
Han Feng smiled: "No need, there is no difference between dry and wet, and soon everyone's clothes will be soaked." ”
Zhang Daring didn't understand what Han Feng's words meant, but he still nodded.
Outside the house, lightning and thunder, and the downpour of rain, even the dull sound of smashing on the straw, still echoed throughout the house.
Such bad weather seems to be God's intention to punish the world and want to destroy the world.
But Han Feng knows very well that heaven and earth are unkind, using all things as dogs, waiting for God to punish those wicked people and punish those invaders, it is just the self-comfort of the cowardly who has been invaded.
People can only rely on themselves, rely on themselves, and only by themselves can people win the day.
"Daring, you've been a guard for me for some time, haven't you?" In the narrow cabin, Han Feng's question broke the silence, but the voice was insignificant compared to the devastating storm.
Zhang Daring nodded, "Well, regiment leader, I have been following you as a guard for more than ten months." ”
Han Feng said: "Then I will wronged you for a while, once this battle starts, you don't need to be a guard by my side anymore." ”
"Commander, don't you want me? Don't you hate me for not doing a good enough job as a guard! Zhang Daring was anxious, his words were full of grievances, "I don't know any big truths, but I know that the regiment commander is good to me, I don't want to go to any commando, I just want you to be a guard, I know that the regiment commander is powerful, but ...... At least I can use my body to help you block bullets! ”
Han Feng was slightly stunned, a little crying and laughing, he knew that Zhang Daring had misunderstood him, but he didn't explain it immediately.
He just said, "Daring, go open the door." ”
Zhang Daring wiped his nose in response, the wooden door creaked ——,open, and the raging wind mixed with the cold rain rushed into the house, quickly hitting Han Feng and Zhang Daring.
Zhang Daring subconsciously moved to the place next to him where the wind and rain couldn't blow, but Han Feng walked straight to the wooden door and stood, letting the wind and rain blow on him, and his thin clothes were soon completely soaked.
Zhang Dada'er hurriedly followed Han Feng again, and was caught in the wind and rain together.
Han Feng looked sideways, looked at Zhang Dada'er and laughed, and Zhang Dada'er also smiled at Han Feng.
Laughing and laughing, Han Feng's old face suddenly tightened, "You kid is smirking?" ”
Zhang Daring was aggrieved, "Leader, I saw you laugh, and I laughed." ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, once this battle starts, the guards don't need you to do it, it's not that I dislike you."
Didn't you say that you don't understand any big truths, then I'll tell you a truth today.
You are a soldier, a soldier is not a certain person, but a country, a common man and a people, and you must always remember that the existence of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country.
In particular, we, the soldiers born in the flames of war, shed even the last drop of blood and dried the last tear, for something, for the faith in our hearts, for the motherland and the people.
Just as I don't want you to be my guard, but I want you to go to the commando team to do a good job, I just want you to give full play to your value.
What's so good about being a guard with me? If it's just running errands, anyone can do it, but the commandos need people like you, from the first time I saw you, I wanted to get you into the commando, and now I can teach you everything.
So this time, what I needed was not an obedient guard around me who could even block bullets for the regimental commander.
Rather, he is a commando who can charge into battle and take charge on his own. ”
"This battle must be extremely tragic and difficult, and I don't know how many our brothers will sacrifice! Daring, can you understand my thoughts? ”
Zhang Daring was stunned, "Commander, I still don't understand these big truths, but I will do whatever the head of the regiment asks me to do." ”
"It's okay, when you act for a while, you can directly follow your big bull brother and them!"
"Yes...... Head...... Shall we act in a moment? It's raining heavily! ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "You know that it is raining, and the enemy also knows that it is raining, you are not willing to act when it rains heavily, and when it rains heavily, are you willing to act?"
You bastard, this is the opportunity given by God for us to act, rather than let the soldiers die in battle, it is better to get a little rain!
Daring, immediately sent the signal corps, and told all the battalion and company commanders to take advantage of the heavy rain to prepare for action. ”
Zhang Daring came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”
Saying that, regardless of the downpour, he rushed directly into the rain curtain.
Han Feng looked at the torrential rain outside the door, which still did not show a hint of stopping.
muttered to himself: "It's a rainstorm, it seems that the troops must be transferred as soon as possible, otherwise when this rainstorm is over, the Qin River will rise, and it will be even more difficult to cross eastward, of course, it will be difficult for us, and it will be even more difficult for the enemy." ”
Han Feng looked at the dim night sky, laughed for a while, and plunged into the rain curtain, there was a set of robes on the side of the wooden door, but neither of the two people who rushed into the rain curtain wore it.
The rain dripped through the thatch on the roof and fell on the surface of the robe, and along the creases, it fell on the mud that had been washed out of the small pit, without stopping for a moment......
