Chapter 2 Cross Currents (11th Middle School)

"Why did you get mixed up with the Ninety-Three Regiment so quickly. Did the leaders of the military sub-district agree..."Fang Guoqiang was a little anxious when he heard this. Round eyes. Ask out loud. In the afternoon before departure. The commander of the military division, Su Xing, once told him personally. Both the Ninety-Third Regiment and the Zhou Black Carbon Independent Battalion are currently attempting to annex the Blackstone guerrillas. I hope he and Zhang Songling can support each other. Tide over the storm together. And now. Didn't wait for him to arrive at the lama ditch. Zhang Songling has already pulled the team down the mountain. In case he was stabbed in the back by the joint efforts of Ninety-Three and the Zhou Black Carbon Independent Battalion. Who is responsible for this?

"Kodama squadron doesn't know why. Suddenly, he drove towards the Black Stone Village. In case he and Kuniaki Kawada converge in one place. I want to destroy him again. It's going to be very difficult." The deputy of the second squadron, Xiao Zheng, didn't even want to think about it. Respond loudly." Before going down the mountain. The captain of the group has sent a telegram to the military division. Commander Su, they did not object."

No objection was expressed. It doesn't mean that the military division agrees. Fang Guoqiang was so anxious that he wanted to put on his wings. Fly to Zhang Songling's side now. The little fat man is still too simple. Always underestimate the shamelessness of the Kuomintang diehards. If the enemy is current. Those guys wouldn't be brothers. Last winter. In Shanxi, there would not be so many comrades who died innocently in vain.

The two platoon commanders who came with Fang Guoqiang. Politically vigilant is not as high as the former. They were more worried about the team after they rushed over. Can you help the guerrillas?" We didn't have guns with us this time. Only two small mortars were brought with them. Rushed to the battlefield empty-handed......"

"Where are the mortars. Hurry up and tie me to the horse. The Kodama squadron is a reinforced squadron. There are too many light and heavy machine guns to count. This juncture is on the eye. The captain has an extra cannon in his hand. We'll have a better chance of winning." Zheng Xiaobao did not directly answer the other party's question. The eyes are blazing. Swept straight towards the Type 97 infantry curved gun that the soldiers were carrying. This thing is a little less lethal. But the range is long enough. The rate of fire is fast enough. And easy to move and conceal. Just used to smash the machine gun position of the little devils. Previously, in order to ensure the successful completion of this combat mission. The guerrillas have already pushed the only two Ninety-Seven in their hands to the front line. Now plus the two doors brought by the political commissar Fang. Definitely can hit the little devil by surprise.

"Here." The two platoon commanders know the truth that the military situation is like fire. I don't blame Zheng Xiaobao for being reckless. I called a few brothers who were responsible for carrying the Type 97 cannon and shells along the way. with them. Hang the cannon and the cannonball bag on the horse's back.

"Don't hang a cannonball bag on a horse with a cannon. If you have a cannonball bag, don't carry the cannon. That thing is only forty pounds. But dead things can't be turned upside down. It's far more tiring than carrying a big living person." Zheng Xiaobao is also welcome. Say hello loudly. Correct the recruits' mistakes.

"Upside down" refers to an entry-level riding technique. A qualified rider must be able to follow the undulations of the horse's back. His body also rises and falls like a boat. Such. The movements of the man and the horse will be coordinated and synchronized. Save the horse's physical strength to the greatest extent. It also minimizes the physical exertion of the rider. But it is impossible to do this without intelligent goods. Therefore, for war horses. It is far easier to carry a living person than to carry a "dead thing". Unless the body of a living person in the saddle is as stiff as a dead body. In that case. Usually the result is that the horse does not wait to get tired and lie down. People are tired and crippled first.

Both platoon commanders are specially selected veterans of the military division. I know that Zheng Xiaobao has a point. and obey it to the letter. Traffic officer Lao He saw this scene. lest everyone think that the guerrillas are bullying. He coughed lightly. He explained with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, there are no guns available. When the cavalry charged. Usually only one saber is carried. The 38 big gayers they left behind are all half-new. Absolutely copy it and you can make it."

I heard Lao He's words. Zheng Xiaobao suddenly realized that he was a little too rough. Smiled too. He added loudly: "Don't worry about guns. You can borrow it from our cavalry. It can also be picked up on the battlefield. From eight o'clock this morning. The Ninety-Third Regiment has been fighting with the Kodama Squadron for more than ten hours. Jacked the little devil from the flat ground to the mountain bun. Weapons are thrown everywhere along the way."

"The combat effectiveness of the ninety-third regiment is so strong.." Fang Guoqiang didn't expect that Jin Suijun himself would be on the front line. Instead of forcing Zhang Songling to lead the guerrillas to make the way for them. Stunned. Ask out loud.

"The Ninety-third Regiment is the old foundation of General Fu Zuoyi. In the first two years, I also asked our Eighth Route Army to help train. Of course, the combat effectiveness is not to be said." Zheng Xiaobao grew up in the guerrillas. The mind is very simple. It's basically about saying whatever you have." But the Kodama squadron is also a tough one. Said to be a squadron formation. There are actually five squads underneath. The number of machine guns and small cannons in the hands . It's far beyond our side."

A squad of the Japanese army. The number was roughly the same as a platoon on the side of the Eighth Route Army. Five platoons are five platoons. That's almost half a battalion. And the level of individual training and the quality of low-level officers in the Japanese army. and far more than the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in this era. So it's no wonder that the 93rd Regiment can't eat this gang of little devils alone with its own strength. Also pull in the Black Carbon Independent Battalion and the Blackstone Guerrilla Brigade to help.

Think of this layer of reasons. The feeling of anxiety in Fang Guoqiang's heart was slightly reduced. Pulled a handful of Xiao Zheng's sleeves. Asked aloud again. Now that the Kodama squadron has been pushed up to the top of the mountain. Gather around and starve them to death. Why be in such a hurry to launch a general attack. The Ninety-Third Regiment over there. I don't care if my brothers and soldiers live or die."

"Kawada Kuniaki Brigade of Black Stone Village. It's already out of the city. It's not the same way as you. The devils and puppet army of the Hung Yen Garrison Command. It is said that it may also come at any time. The Jin Suijun arranged for Zhou Hei Carbon's battalion to be responsible for blocking the attack halfway. But can you stop these two groups of enemies. It's hard to say." Zheng Xiaobao thought about it. Explain out loud.

Hear this. Fang Guoqiang's brows furrowed even deeper. The questioning words blurted out." Zhou Heicarbon's separate battalion was responsible for holding back enemy reinforcements. They. Didn't they just accept the adaptation for a short time?"

"The Ninety-Third Regiment has no more strength. And if Kuniaki Kawada goes out and rescues the Kodama squadron at any cost. The role that the Zhou Black Carbon Department can play can only be to delay the arrival of reinforcements. Regardless of the strength of the combat power. It is impossible to completely isolate the Kawada Brigade from the main battlefield." Zheng Xiaobao glanced at Fang Guoqiang in surprise. It's strange that it's so simple. The new commissar didn't have the slightest idea.

"There is a lack of danger in the steppe. Even if the little devil can't break through Zhou Heicarbon's blocking position. Just go around in a big circle. The same can rush over to rescue Kodama last time. Unless Zhou Black Carbon is also out of the way. At the expense of blood, the local area will be entangled with the Kawada Brigade and will not let go." The traffic officer Lao He has a lot of experience. Guess that Fang Guoqiang still hasn't figured out the difference between the geographical situation on the grassland and the Central Plains. Also stepped forward. Whisper supplements.

Fang Guoqiang raised his head and looked around. Sunset. Sure enough, most of the area is a flat river. There are only a few ups and downs in the field of vision. The difference with flat land is only two or three hundred meters at most. And the area is small. Put a little effort into it. You can easily get around.

As an old guerrilla with a lot of combat experience. He immediately understood the necessity and urgency of ending the battle as soon as possible. Nodding vigorously at Zheng Xiaobao. Say it loudly: "I see. You hurry up and send the cannon to Captain Zhang. I take the warriors with me. Do your best to get there."

"I'll leave you three good horses. What are the difficulties. You can send someone to contact the captain at any time." Zheng Xiaobao nodded. Then he quickly turned his face to the brother who had come with him." Xiao Wang. Xiao Qin. You two stay. Lead the way for the commissar. Others. Immediately return with the cannon."

Talking. Fly and jump on the mount. He raised his hand and saluted Fang Guoqiang. Then flick the horse's head. Along the path from which we came, we galloped away.

"It's more than sixty miles away from the four beams." The traffic officer Lao He followed and rushed to Fang Guoqiang's side. Added loudly." Since he is in a cross-fight with the Ninety-Third Regiment and the little devils. There shouldn't be any more horse thieves and puppets nearby. Let's stop and cook now. Immediately after dinner. The second half of the night. It should be able to reach the battlefield."

"We're on our way. No trace of the Japanese puppet army was found." Xiao Wang and Xiao Qin are about the same age as Zheng Xiaobao. It's just as easy to talk and do things." There are also two hidden piles set up by independent battalions in the middle. Something unusual. They should be able to send the police in time."

"Then don't cook. The guys grabbed a few pieces of dry food from their backpacks and came out. Nibble on the go." Fang Guoqiang waved his hand decisively. Resolute decision." Hurry up and take a step forward. It will give the captain a few more chances of winning."

After speaking. He jumped on the back of a warhorse. Turn around. Shout at all the recruits." Brethren. You'll be able to kill the imp in no time. Guys work hard. The Kuomintang army was able to beat this gang of devils to the point where there was no way to escape. We can't afford to procrastinate. Shame on the Eighth Route Army."

"Don't worry. Commissar. These two steps are nothing. I haven't been tired all morning." in the team. Some fighters responded with a smile.

"That's right. Commissar. You just give the order. Let's be soldiers and eat food. Isn't it just for this day?" Others straighten up. Echo loudly.

It's time to fight the little devils. Everyone was so excited that they had long forgotten their exhaustion. These two years. I watched as my hometown villages were slaughtered. Rows and rows of houses were burned. Everyone is full of hatred for the little devil in their hearts. Now I can finally destroy one of them with my own hands. And it's a war of annihilation that doesn't leak. How can such an opportunity be easily missed. It's to climb. Climb to the battlefield before dawn tomorrow. Shoot a bullet into the chest of the little devil. Poke the bayonet in the stomach of the little devil. Let them taste it too. The taste of panic and despair intertwined.
