At half past five in the afternoon the next day.

As it got getting late and late, Yang Chenghu, who had just done a complete and rough screening work, stretched his waist and subconsciously rubbed his right leg, which was starting to ache again.

"Damn, it looks like it's going to rain again."

Since the last time he was injured, his leg has been burned. Every time before the day changes, the whole leg will start to ache like a pinprick dullly.

After a while, after the clerk sorted out the materials, Yang Chenghu left the inquiry room with the documents and slowly came to the courtyard.

Raising his head and taking a deep breath of the slightly humid air, he glanced at the fish scale clouds dyed red by the sunset on the horizon, and Yang Chenghu waved his hand and called a warrior.

"Go, send these documents to the column headquarters and hand them over to Political Commissar Jiang by hand."

"Report to the battalion commander that Political Commissar Jiang left the village at three o'clock in the afternoon and went to Shiling. Before leaving, he learned that you were organizing the screening work, so he didn't let us bother you. ”

Suddenly learning that Jiang Hongfei had gone to the logistics office of the division headquarters in Shiling, Yang Chenghu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look in the direction of the column headquarters.

"The political commissar is gone, so who is presiding over the work of the column now?"

"It's Chief of Staff Xue who is presiding over the work."

"He? Hasn't Chief of Staff Xue been recuperating from his injuries in the health team, why did he come back to preside over the work? ”

"I don't know about this, all this is a temporary order from the political commissar, and everyone has been notified."

……

"Strange...... What is the political commissar doing in a hurry to Shiling, do you have any words for me? ”

"I don't know, I just know that someone came from Shiling, and then Political Commissar Jiang left in a hurry with a few guards, he just asked everyone to cooperate with Chief of Staff Xue's work."

Hearing this, he glanced at the direction of Shiling in the southeast, Yang Chenghu hesitated, but still handed the document in his hand to the guards.

"The commissar is not here, so you can give these things to the chief of staff to see.

Tell him that except for Xu Guofeng and the three people from the original security department, everyone else has been screened, and nothing abnormal has been found for the time being. ”

"Yes......!"

After the guards left, Yang Chenghu rubbed his right leg, which was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and decided to go to the pontoon bridge outside the village to take a look in person before dark.

It's going to change, and he wants to go to the pontoon bridge to see it himself, so as not to make any mistakes.

……

An hour later, a column in Nanyang Village was in a temporary meeting room.

Dangdangdang...... Dangdang!

Boom!

With a quick knock on the door, Xu Guofeng pushed the door and rushed into the house with a sweaty face.

"Alas...... What's wrong with you, what's the matter? ”

Xue Liqun, who was reading the screening report while eating, saw that the person who rushed in was Xu Guofeng, and then put down the documents in his hand and asked puzzledly.

"Chief of Staff, I have an important situation to report to you!"

"What's important?"

"Yes, I got the news that the devil's army is estimated to have arrived in Dongfeng Town, and it is estimated that it may drive here at any time."

"What?!"

Hearing the news that the Japanese army had arrived in Dongfeng Town, Xue Liqun, who was surprised, didn't care about the injury on his leg, and stood up with his hands on the table.

Frowning slightly, he gritted his teeth and took a few steps in front of Xu Guofeng, and asked again word by word:

"Lao Xu, where did you say the devil went?"

"Dong Feng Town, just south of us."

Stunned when he heard this, Xue Liqun immediately limped to the map hanging on the wall and looked for it carefully.

A few seconds later, he raised his slightly trembling arm and nodded heavily at Dong Fengzhen, which was twenty miles away.

"When did the devil get here...... Why don't we have any news? ”

After muttering a few words, he suddenly turned to stare at Xu Guofeng, and asked with a serious expression:

"Lao Xu, where did you get the information?"

"From a villager who passed by the village, his family is a member of Dong Feng's generation. He said that yesterday many devils went to Dongfeng Town, not to mention grabbing food everywhere, and also harmed a lot of people. ”

"Where's the folks?"

"I left early, and when people saw us here, they dared to stay here, so I hid in the mountains."

Hearing this, Xue Liqun's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

You know, he didn't want to come out to preside over the work when he was depressed recently, and he just wanted to recuperate for a few days with peace of mind. If Jiang Hongfei hadn't suddenly had to go to Shiling, he would still be lying in the health team.

……

Standing in front of the map in a daze, thinking that the Japanese army would likely overwhelm the border or even raid Nanyang Village in the near future, Xue Liqun suddenly lost his previous calmness.

"The political commissar is not here, and the head of the regiment is not here, what can I do?"

……

Seeing that Xue Liqun was panicked, Xu Guofeng, who was on the side, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said comfortingly:

"Chief of Staff Xue, don't worry, although this devil has arrived in Dongfeng Town, he hasn't come here yet."

"Lao Xu, how can you not be in a hurry! This devil has arrived in Dong Feng, and this is our old base, how can the little devil not come here? ”

Hearing this, Xu Guofeng pondered for a moment, then walked to the map with a calm expression and said:

"Chief of Staff, you see, about eighteen miles south along the Xixiao River from our place is the widest part of the Xixiao River, and it is also the closest road for the Japanese army in Dongfeng Town to get here. I guess that if the devils want to come this way, they will have to cross the river from Dawan Village, otherwise they will have to go around in a big circle to come. ”

Wen Yan also looked at the map, and Xue Liqun immediately realized this.

"Lao Xu, you are right, Dawan Village is indeed the only way for the devils of Dongfeng Town to come to us......

"Yes, so as long as we send people to garrison there before the Japanese army crosses the river, the devil will naturally not be able to cross the river easily."

Pointing to Dawan Village, Xu Guofeng gave his specific suggestions.

"Oops...... Lao Xu, what you said is so right, as long as we send people to block Dawan Village, the devil won't be able to cross the river. ”

Hearing this, Xue Liqun suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw like a drowning man, and his expression was a lot more relaxed.

"Someone's coming!"

"Here."

"You go and call Battalion Commander Yang Chenghu over immediately, and ask him to come over to see me immediately!"

……

Ten minutes later, Yang Chenghu, who looked puzzled, also hurried back.

As soon as he entered the door, before the other party could gain a firm foothold, Xue Liqun impatiently stepped forward to meet him.

"Old Yang, you can be regarded as back. Hurry up, you bring a company...... The men of the two companies immediately went to Dawan Village in the lower reaches of the Xixiao River to set up a position on the spot, and they must block the Japanese puppet army on the other side of the river. ”

"What's that? Going to Dawan Village? Blocking the devils? ”

Looking at Xue Liqun, who was anxious, Yang Chenghu, who had just entered the room, asked three questions in a row.

"Yes, it's the devils, they have already arrived in Dongfeng Town."

Seeing that Yang Chenghu was a little confused, Xue Liqun hurriedly picked the key points and said.

As soon as he heard that the devil had arrived in Dongfeng Town, Yang Chenghu's face immediately changed, and he walked to the map without saying a word, bypassing Xue Liqun.

"When did the devil arrive in Dongfeng Town? How many troops does the opponent have? ”

was a little confused by Yang Chenghu's series of questions, Xue Liqun immediately looked at Xu Guofeng beside him and asked him to explain.

Seeing this, Xu Guofeng coughed lightly, then strode in front of Yang Chenghu and said in a deep voice:

"Lao Yang, that's right, I and a few of my men went to the outside of the village in the morning to help the villagers with the summer harvest, and happened to meet a few refugees from the lower reaches of the Xixiao River.

After asking, they said that it was Dong Feng's side that hundreds of puppet troops had come and were grabbing food everywhere.

The chief of staff and I estimated that these devils and puppet soldiers are going to sweep us, so why don't we call you here quickly? ”

After listening to Xu Guofeng's explanation, Yang Chenghu squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"Refugees, what about them?"

"It's all gone, they were hiding from the war, and when they saw us here, they didn't stay in Nanyang Village."

"Oh?"

Hearing that the news was learned from a few passing villagers, Yang Chenghu's brows suddenly furrowed. Ignoring Xue Liqun and Xu Guofeng, he walked to the door of the house and called the people from the communications department of the column loudly, and asked face to face:

"Have you ever received a call from the southern guard post until now?"

"Received, since last night, every two hours."

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Everything works."
