Chapter 60: Encountering the Enemy

"Xiaoqian, do you really want to join the Eighth Route Army?"

As soon as Zhao Yaqian went back, she was questioned by Li Menglan and Jiang Xuan.

It's no secret that Zhao Yaqian wants to join GCD, to be precise, all three of them have this idea, after all, the students of Peking University are the most radical and disobedient at this time, of course, this disobedience is on the side of parents and rulers.

However, after seeing the difficult conditions of the Eighth Route Army, their thoughts were also a little shaken.

As Li Hai said, college students in this era are either rich or expensive, and they are all children of large families. The Eighth Route Army and its predecessor, the Red Army, were also notoriously harsh, and they had only heard of it before, but they had really seen it, and they still couldn't accept it for a while.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yaqian nodded, and then looked at the two friends puzzled, "Menglan and Xiaoxuan, didn't we say before that we wanted to join the Eighth Route Army together?" ”

"Isn't that being considered?" Li Menglan hesitated, and then changed the topic, "What did Platoon Commander Li tell you just now?" ”

"He suggested that if I really wanted to join GCD, I would go to the Eighth Route Army office in Xi'an, and I could go directly to Yan'an to study at Kang Da through there." Zhao Yaqian didn't think much about it and explained.

"It seems that Platoon Commander Li cares about you very much, and I have said all these things to you." Li Menglan teased, "But don't say it, this Platoon Commander Li knows a lot, and I feel as knowledgeable as our professor." I can compose songs, speak English so well, and know a lot of things, but I don't know why I became a small platoon leader here. ”

"I don't know!" Zhao Yaqian shook her head and looked at Li Hai who was arranging something with the soldiers in the distance with some curiosity.

When a woman is curious about a man, it feels different, and it is the beginning of liking.

Of course, now it's more just curiosity, because in her heart, the young Lehi is like a veil of mystery, and that hazy feeling really makes her want to stop, and she can't hold back the curiosity in her heart.

"Xiaoqian, what are you looking at?" Seeing his friend in a daze, Jiang Xuan looked curiously at his line of sight, and saw Li Hai turn around, and then quickly turned around.

Li Menglan was open-mouthed, "What can you see, we are thinking about spring." ”

"Menglan, what did you say?" The thin-skinned Zhao Yaqian's pretty face was instantly covered with red glow, and she wanted to block her friend's mouth.

"I didn't say anything, I'm just telling the truth, if I like it, I like it, and I'm bold enough to say it. Just like Professor Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, how romantic! Li Menglan yearned.

For talented men, the more women will be unable to stop.

"Romantic what? Don't you know that Xu Zhimo is so attentive and involved in other people's marriages, which was spread all over Shanghai back then, what's so good. Jiang Xuan pulled his friend's arm and said.

"That's it, Menglan, you have to wipe your eyes in the future, you can't find someone like Xu Zhimo." Zhao Yaqian reminded.

"What, I obviously said that Xiaoqian, you and Platoon Leader Li, how did you become me. I saw platoon commander Li just now, I also looked at you, wouldn't you be so anxious to join the Eighth Route Army just for him? It's a little too fast. ”

"Menglan, you're looking for a fight!"

"Come on, you can't catch up with me!"

For a while, the two women chased after each other, and the laughter also washed away the fatigue of the people who had fled for many days.

Li Hai also saw the girls chasing and fighting, and a smile appeared on his face, and Mao Hong next to him shouted for a long time before he reacted.

"Platoon commander... Platoon leader... ”

"Ah, what did you just say?" Lehi asked in a panic.

"Platoon commander, we have to cross that road tomorrow, and after crossing that road, we can enter the mountainous area in the south, which is the core of our base area, and it will be safe." Mao Hong looked at the few girls who were playing there, and a look of envy flashed on his face.

"Well, let the comrades pay attention tomorrow. Although this is our base area, the little devil is attacking the base area on a large scale during this time, so be careful with everything. Lehi admonished.

"Yes, platoon commander!"

。。。。。。

The road taken by Li Hai and others was close to the battlefield of the Battle of Pingxingguan, but after the Japanese 5th Division attacked Xinkou, the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to capture Laiyuan and Lingqiu, cutting off the rear road of the 5th Division, forcing the Japanese army to use the supply line from Xinkou to Datong.

Now that the Japanese army has won the entire Battle of Taiyuan, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army have collapsed, and the Eighth Route Army does not dare to confront the Japanese army in the front. At this time, the Japanese army in Shanxi was invincible, and naturally did not want to see the Eighth Route Army occupy so many county seats, so there was this siege.

However, before crossing the canyon the next day, the scouting soldiers spotted the devil's traces.

"Platoon commander, we found devils and puppet soldiers not far away."

Just as the team was resting, Lehi also took the opportunity to teach English to the six or seven male and female students around him. Despite Lehi's age, he was about the same age as them, but his English skills were not much better than those of his university teachers.

At this time, one of Lehi's soldiers in charge of reconnaissance came to report.

"Where? How many devils are there? Lehi subconsciously clenched the submachine gun at his waist, and his expression suddenly became serious.

When the surrounding students heard that there were devils, they also began to panic.

"Report to the platoon commander, there are at least hundreds of devils, and there are many puppet soldiers, just to the west. Climbing over the hillside in the distance, you can see that the devil is resting in a village below. The man gasped.

"Lao Mao, you stay and tell them to hide for the time being, and I'll go see what's going on." Lehi immediately commanded.

"No problem, platoon commander, be careful." Mao Hong reminded.

"Hmm." Li Hai nodded, and instructed Zhang Cheng, the second squad leader on the side, "Second squad leader, take your people with me to have a look." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suddenly left the team, and the rest of the Eighth Route Army asked them to find a place to hide, these teachers and students realized that they might encounter a situation.

"What's going on?"

"It looks like I've met a devil."

"Devils? So what do we do? Are we going to die here! ”

For a while, these teachers and students became nervous, but fortunately, it was not the first time they had encountered this situation, although they were nervous, they still began to hide nearby according to Mao Hong's instructions.

And after more than twenty minutes of trekking, Lehi finally reached the position where the scouts were hiding.

"Platoon commander!" The Scout saluted.

"The devil is still down there?" Lehi asked, bending over.

"Still resting down there."

Lehi then crept to the front, took out his binoculars, and when he saw through the binoculars the situation in the village under the mountain, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"So much? This is in trouble! ”
