Chapter 6: The Ballad of the Great Wall (Part I)

led a team of twelve people to rescue Paoze, and in the end only four survived, and the rescue mission was also completed by fake hands. No matter how it is calculated, this rescue operation may not have anything to do with victory. Therefore, on the way back, everyone did not have the spirit and strength to speak, and they lowered their heads one by one, and their mood was extremely depressed.

Who would have thought that the more depressing thing was still to come, and when everyone came to the meeting place agreed with the independent regiment of the 31st Division, the time was already the morning of the third day. Liu Huozi and the others were still waiting, but, according to him, the 30th and 31st Divisions had already withdrawn to Zhuoxian more than a day ago.

"What ...... you say?" Lao Gou stumbled over, grabbed Liu Huozi, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 31st Division, by the neck, and the violent atmosphere in his eyes was clearly visible. "Tell me again, where did he run away?!"

Liu Huozi didn't have any precautions in advance, he was suddenly attacked, he was almost out of breath, and his hands forcefully broke Lao Gou's fingers outward a few centimeters, and responded wheezing, "What are you running?" It was the order of the old battalion commander! The 29th Army was completely defeated by the little devils, and if we don't retreat, the back road will have to be cut off by the little devils! ”

"You, you ......" Lao Gou didn't want to believe Liu Huozi's words at all, and pulled the other party's neck and shook it vigorously with his big hand, "You said that the devil's cannon is powerful, Lao Tzu and Lao Ji will blow up the cannon." Lao Tzu and Lao Ji have added all the brothers in the secret service group, but you, you ......"

His strength was very great, and in a fit of rage, Liu Huozi's two eyeballs protruded straight out. The brothers of the Independent Regiment immediately became anxious and rushed forward one after another, trying to break Lao Gou's big hand from Liu Huozi's neck. Seeing this, Shi Liangcai and Zhang Songling hurriedly rushed up, one hugged Lao Gou's waist tightly, and the other pulled Lao Gou's arm hard, "Battalion commander, commander, calm down, calm down!" Just now, Regiment Commander Liu said that it was the top, and it was the order of the old battalion commander! ”

Hearing the three words of the old battalion commander, the violent spirit in Lao Gou's eyes finally gradually declined, and he slowly moved his hand away from Liu Huozi's neck, losing his soul, "Impossible, this is impossible." The old battalion commander would not give such an order, he would not let the brothers of the independent regiment go to their deaths in vain, he would not ......."

"It's the 29th Army and the Central Army that can't stand it!" Liu Huozi desperately gasped for a few breaths, and then gently patted Lao Gou's shoulder, "The devil first broke through the defense line of the 29th Army, and then forced back the Central Army led by Guan Linzheng. Our position has always been at the forefront, and the little devil moved westward so immediately after forcing back the Central Army......"

"Impossible, impossible....." Lao Gou continued to mumble to himself, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fell on his back to the sky. Thanks to Liu Huozi and Shi Liangcai, they reacted quickly enough to hug him tightly before his head hit the ground. Looking closely, I saw Lao Gou's eyes closed, and a stream of dark black blood slowly flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander!"

"Sir, sir!" Zhang Songling and the others were in a hurry, holding Lao Gou and shaking constantly. But no matter how they shook, Lao Gou refused to open his eyes again, his original bronzed face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his forehead was so hot that he could almost make pancakes.

"I'm afraid I'm tired! People are tired, and so is their hearts! Seeing the iron-clad man fall beside him, Liu Huozi, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 31st Division, also felt a sense of sadness in his heart, patted Shi Liangcai, the highest-ranking among the remaining three members of the squad, and said in a low voice: "Commander Chi left a message for you before retreating. Said that the old battalion commander ordered you to return to the headquarters immediately after you come back! ”

"Yes!" Shi Liangcai stood up and saluted first, indicating that he accepted the order. Then he changed his tone of pleading and discussed with Liu Huozi in a low voice, "Commander, can you send two brothers to make a stretcher for us." Let's carry Camp Commander Gou away! ”

"You guys rest assured, Lao Gou and I have been brothers for many years, I won't leave him alone!" Liu Huozi nodded and solemnly promised.

Turning his head, he called several tall and powerful brothers, ordered them to cut down trees to make stretchers, and took turns to carry Commander Gou to the south. Then, he called the medical staff of the Independent Regiment and instructed him to clean the wounds of the remaining three brothers of the Special Service and do a simple bandage. After everything was almost dealt with, he breathed a sigh of relief again, walked to Shi Liangcai's side, lowered his voice and asked, "How is it, have you found Lao Ji and them?" ”

"I found it, but I didn't do anything wrong!" Shi Liangcai sighed, endured the pain of alcohol spilling into the wound, and made a concise report to Liu Huozi about what he had experienced in the past few days. When he heard that nearly two-thirds of the brothers in the third battalion of the special service group had fallen in an unnamed valley, Liu Huozi's face twitched slightly, and he sighed and said: "No wonder Lao Gou is in a hurry, after this battle, I am afraid that your special service group will only have an empty shelf." That's the family foundation that Lao Ji and he spent several years tossing, alas! Just one night......"

"The point is, the blood of the brethren was shed in vain!" Shi Liangcai sighed with the other party and added faintly.

The special task force took the risk of attacking the Japanese artillery positions in order to reverse the situation in which the 26th Route Army was passively beaten. Who would have expected that the devil's artillery position was knocked out by the secret service regiment, but the 26th Route Army abandoned its position and retreated in stride! If they knew in advance that this was the end, why did the secret service take such a big risk?!

"What about Lao Ji, did you find out where Lao Ji went after they broke through?" Liu Huozi sighed again and continued to ask.

"Lao Ji, they broke through to the south, and we also chased south along the same road. I was going to give the little devils a little bit from behind and share some pressure for Lao Ji and them....." Shi Liangcai sorted out his thoughts and continued to report. He said in detail the specific process of the fierce battle with the little devil three days ago, including the scene of the heroic sacrifice of each member of the squad, and he did not fall in the slightest. But when it came to the end of the battle, he tried to mention it as much as possible, "As soon as we saw the size of the team that suddenly appeared from the hillside, we knew that the little devil must be finished. As soon as the little devils who are responsible for cleaning up the back road are finished, the little devils who are chasing and killing Lao Ji in front of them will definitely not dare to risk the enemy. So, let's hurry back and report to the 31st Division! ”

"That's right, although the little devil is brave and ruthless, he is not a fool!" Hearing that Lao Ji and the others finally turned the corner, Liu Huozi's face finally looked better. After a deep groan, he lowered his voice very low again, "That guy, I mean the team that helped you, what flag did they fly?" Do you see clearly? ”

"I didn't see it clearly!" Shi Liangcai shook his head like a rattle, and his mouth was full of tongues, "It's getting late, how can we see what they are doing?" It may be bandits, or it may be the volunteers organized by the people in the vicinity, and they are unwilling to deal with us, and we don't dare to come to others! ”

"Whatever!" Hu Fengshou stuffed a cotton ball into his cheek, and his speech was leaky, "Anyway, they are fighting little devils, and they are speaking Chinese!" ”

knew that these two people were perfunctory, and Liu Huozi didn't break it. In these years, some things are better than being confused. The more I think about it, the more tired and panicked I become, and I can't solve any real problems. Just like the old Gou brothers, they were originally ..... with an iron-like body. He lowered his head and took a deep look at the unconscious old Gou, and the compassion on his face became even stronger.

That afternoon, Lao Gou talked nonsense on the stretcher. For a while, he shouted Lao Ji's name in his sleep, and for a while, he was going to take everyone to bomb the little devil's plane. The medic boiled water with a large smoke paste and poured him down, so that he could barely regain his quiet. But before half an hour of silence, he suddenly sat up from the stretcher and protested angrily, "Lao Tzu doesn't want you to save me, I'd rather die than need you to save me!" Let me die, let me die. You red bandits, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky! ”

"Sir, sir!" Shi Liangcai jumped over with a tiger and pressed Lao Gou down again, "It was the volunteers who saved us, it was the Iron and Blood Society, Zhang Xiaofat found someone from the Iron and Blood Society to save us." Don't be angry, don't be angry. We don't need them to save us, we don't need them to save us! ”

"Who are you?" Lao Gou stared at him with blood-red eyes, and his gaze was very penetrating.

"I'm Little Stone, the little Stone you picked up from the side of the road. Let's be with the brothers of the 31st Division, with the brothers of the 31st Division! Shi Liangcai was so anxious that his voice was already crying, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Oh!" Lao Gou agreed in a low voice, his eyes darkened, he fell back on the stretcher with his back to the sky, and fell asleep.

This time, everyone knows which team saved the lives of the team members at the last minute. The brothers of the Independent Regiment of the 31st Division, who were carrying the stretcher, and the officers walking by the stretcher looked at each other and remained cautiously silent. Hu Fengshou felt depressed in his heart, touched the cotton on his cheeks, and muttered angrily, "What's wrong with the red bandits, what's wrong with the red bandits?" Chairman Jiang has shaken hands with them and made peace, so why should we be too persistent! ”

"Shut up, our 26th Route Army is different from the Red Bandits!" Shi Liangcai turned his head from the stretcher and glared at him. The 26th Route Army was ordered to go to Jiangxi to suppress bandits, but it was beaten by the "red bandits." Thanks to the central government at that time, it was still righteous, and later added some soldiers to the 26th Route Army, so that it barely kept its number. Otherwise, the old battalion commander Sun Lianzhong would have become a commander of the light pole long ago.

Of course, Hu Fengshou is also aware of this grievance, but he is not as persistent in hatred as Shi Liangcai and Lao Gou, "What happened back then was a mess!" If you really want to hold a grudge, I don't share the sky with you, and now I don't just pick a horse spoon in a pot?! ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Shi Liangcai was not good at arguing with others, so he glanced at Hu Fengshou and twisted his head to the side. Speaking from the heart, Hu Fengshou's words may not be unreasonable. At that time, Hu Fengshou belonged to the Chasui Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and after being exterminated by the central government and various forces, its remnants were incorporated into the 26th Route Army. If Hu Fengshou was obsessed with the hatred of the year, he should not have gone with everyone to kill the devil a few days ago, but should have led the way for the devil and turned around and became the enemy of everyone!

However, the situation of Hu Fengshou does not seem to be exactly the same as the situation between the 26th Route Army and the "Red Bandits." As for what the difference is, Shi Liangcai doesn't know. He just hoped that he and the guy with the patches on their clothes would never meet again, and that they would never have to meet again in this life.
