For the first time, Political Commissar Jiang directly rebuffed Director Liu's words in a commanding tone.

At this moment, Jiang Hongfei can't care if he is level enough, whether he will offend anyone. In a thousand confusions, he just wanted to solve the difficulties in front of him immediately.

What's more, the first column has now reached the point where there are no soldiers available, and he must free up as many people as possible to use good steel on the blade.

……

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei's attitude was extremely resolute, although Director Liu was dissatisfied, he still chose to accept Jiang Hongfei's arrangement. After all, these people of his do not yet have the ability to act alone, and can only be attached to a column. If the other party is unwilling to assist him in Beishan, then he will not dare to take this large group of miscellaneous personnel to cross the enemy-occupied area even if he has ten guts.

After resolving Director Liu's request, Jiang Hongfei did not delay and directly rearranged the current tasks of the first column.

In view of the fact that the main forces were all sent abroad and the men of the defense section suffered heavy losses, in addition to this, it was already the base of the special battalion and the guerrilla zone. Therefore, Jiang Hongfei resolutely handed over the defense of the column and the logistics unit of the division headquarters to Yang Chenghu.

At the same time, in order to enrich Yang Chenghu's manpower and facilitate unified scheduling. In addition to the 50 soldiers of the guard company who were left behind at the column headquarters and the logistics office of the division headquarters in Shiling, all the personnel who could hold guns, including some personnel drawn from the machine gun battalion, totaling more than 260 people, were temporarily supplemented by the special service battalion under the full command of Yang Chenghu.

After the meeting, Jiang Hongfei left Yang Chenghu alone.

……

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Jiang Hongfei handed a piece of paper to Yang Chenghu.

"This is the current situation of our column, you can take a look."

Wen Yan took the letter and glanced at it, and Yang Chenghu immediately put the letter paper lightly on the table.

"Commissar, you know, I know more than half of this thing, just tell me how many people and materials are left."

“…… Excluding the health team and the 200 wounded who couldn't stand up, we can now carry less than 700 guns. ”

"So serious?! I thought there were at least a thousand more. ”

When he heard that there were less than 1,000 people left in the column, Yang Chenghu was prepared, and he also opened his mouth in shock.

"How...... I can still fool you no. ”

……

Hearing this, he pursed his lips, Yang Chenghu looked at Jiang Hongfei's eyes, still a little puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, didn't you still have more than 1,500 people before the main force of the column reached Jianshan. And I have blocked the enemy in Qin County, how can you still lose so much, is it possible that you have encountered a volley? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Hongfei shook his head gently.

"This is exactly what I can't figure out, obviously after we broke through to Jianshan, we didn't encounter the attack of the Japanese army, but when the team arrived in Nanyang Village, so many people disappeared at once."

"Missing?"

"Hmm...... When we arrived at Eagle, the team was bombed and strafed by Japanese fighters many times. In desperation, I ordered the large force to disperse into several operations, hoping to minimize the chance of being discovered by Japanese aircraft.

However, after I withdrew to Nanyang Village with the logistics organs of the division headquarters, the number of personnel of the column who arrived later was much less. ”

"Hi...... What's so strange about this, under such a ferocious sweep, there are too many things that can't be collected in the end. If you want me to say, they either fled or scattered, and they were gone anyway. ”

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu instinctively blurted out.

As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, he has long been surprised by this kind of thing that the team broke through and dispersed. In his opinion, it would be good if half of the scattered breakout could be retracted, and he had seen it worse than this, and more than once.

Hearing this, he glared at the other party in annoyance, Jiang Hongfei slowly picked up the division headquarters telegram on the table and read it from beginning to end.

"That said, but you kid still have to give me a reminder. This sweep was so wicked that I always felt that something was wrong. ”

After a few words of advice, Jiang Hongfei didn't say more, and waved his hand tiredly to signal that the other party could go.

……

……

After the first column arrived at Nanyang Village, everything finally settled down temporarily. Thanks to the operation of the special service battalion in this generation for nearly a year, more than 1,000 people in the first column and the logistics organs of the division headquarters finally have a safe place to stay, and they do not have to worry about the locals reporting to the Japanese army, nor are they sleeping in the open with their daily meals. And after transferring all the seriously wounded to the division hospital in Shiling, the first column finally unloaded a heavy burden. Although the food storage is still not enough for everyone to eat for too long, it has finally solved some of the urgent needs.

At the same time, other units that had been unable to be contacted gradually reacted.

On the afternoon of the second day after the meeting, the higher authorities sent another telegram, informing them of the location of Lei Wancheng and the new 1st and 2nd regiments. It turned out that although these two troops lost nearly half of them in the covering mission, they miraculously broke out of the encirclement under the encirclement and interception of the Japanese army, and after the convergence, they followed Lei Wancheng to the base area in western Jin to temporarily rest.

Hearing this good news, Jiang Hongfei, who hadn't closed his eyes much for a few days and nights, finally breathed a long sigh. Soon after the telegram from Levan City was received, the independent detachment, which had disappeared for several days, followed the telegram and asked about the specific location of the column.

After getting the news, Jiang Hongfei, who was catching up on sleep, immediately jumped up from the bed, which really scared the guards.

He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he ran to the communications office with a smoke, and almost yelled at them to send a telegram to the independent detachment immediately, asking Zhao Shixun and them to move closer to him quickly.

The arrival of the independent detachment is simply a rhythm in the snow for Jiang Hongfei, who is eager to be used by one person and three people.

……

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the temporary headquarters of the first column in Nanyang Village.

Looking at the list of materials in his hand, Jiang Hongfei frowned, and almost checked the existing materials with the logistics old Qin Tou one by one.

"How did you lose so much? Didn't you all bring it with you, how did this Xiao Li convey the order! ”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Jiang Hongfei's tone, Lao Qin took a puff of his pipe, then squinted and pointed to the list in Jiang Hongfei's hand.

"I took them all with me when I left, but there were fewer and fewer people along the way, and in the end there were not enough people to carry stretchers, so how could there be more people to carry those dead things.

Don't blame Xiao Li...... I am the master, I will ask the soldiers to bury or throw away everything except weapons and ammunition on the spot, and then let the free manpower carry the wounded, and you will punish me. ”

In front of Jiang Hongfei, Lao Qintou did not hide anything, and took the initiative to take all the responsibilities.

Hearing this, he looked at the list of materials in his hand again, Jiang Hongfei rubbed his temples and threw the list on the table.

"Forget it...... It's useless to keep them these things these days. Besides, you're doing the right thing. In these days, people are the most important, and after things are gone, you can slowly ask the enemy. ”

……

Dangdangdang......

At this moment, with a knock on the door, Yang Chenghu suddenly walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked straight to the table, picked up Jiang Hongfei's enamel cup and drank it in a big gulp.

It was not until there was not a drop left in the glass of water that he put down the cup and wiped his mouth.

"Enough to drink?"

"Well, the tea tastes good, it's the Biluochun given to you by the commander, right?"

patted his stomach, and Yang Chenghu cooperated with a full burp.

"Nonsense, know and ask!

Hurry up and get down to business, grandma's ...... This is my last bit of tea, and you kid won't say to leave me a sip. ”

was glared at fiercely by Jiang Hongfei, but Yang Chenghu didn't care about it.

"Commissar, don't be angry yet, look who I brought back."

"Oh......? Who is it? ”

"Hey...... Just go out and have a look, and they'll be in the yard right away. ”

Hearing this, he got up and glanced at Yang Chenghu, and Jiang Hongfei walked out of the room suspiciously.

And just as Jiang Hongfei walked out of the house, he happened to see a group of dusty soldiers approaching the courtyard one after another.

A little dizzy from the hanging sun, he subconsciously raised his hand to block his forehead and squinted to look ahead.

"Xu Guofeng......?"

"Commissar!"

Seeing the person who came clearly, Jiang Hongfei, who was taken aback, hurriedly greeted him and held the other party's hand tightly.

Looking at Xu Guofeng, who was in tatters, Jiang Hongfei almost couldn't believe his eyes.

"You...... Comrade Liqun came back and said that you were surrounded by Japanese troops, and I thought you had died. ”

"Oh? …… Chief of Staff Xue is also back? ”

Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, and Xu Guofeng immediately coughed a few times.

"No, he came back two days ago.

He said that you were betrayed by traitors when you came back from transporting grain, and you were attacked by the Japanese puppet army, is that true? ”

Hearing this, Xu Guofeng hurriedly nodded heavily.

"Don't mention the political commissar, we are too careless, we trust people too casually......."

As he spoke, Xu Guofeng suddenly lowered his head and choked up, his words full of self-blame for his improper command.

Seeing that the other party looked a little excited, Jiang Hongfei hurriedly comforted Xu Guofeng a few words.

Then, he looked at the more than two dozen people standing behind Xu Guofeng, and asked with a little surprise:

"Are these all the fighters of your defense section?"

……

Hearing this, Xu Guofeng subconsciously wiped the corners of his eyes, and then pointed to the soldiers behind him and said:

"There are only three or four of them who are brothers from the former security section, and the others are the stragglers of the column and division headquarters that I collected along the way, and there are all of them."

Hearing this, Jiang Hongfei nodded his head, and then briefly asked these soldiers a few words, and then shook hands with them one by one.

"Comrades can persist all the way here, I, Jiang Hongfei, am really gratified. Rest assured, we don't have to be on the move now. ”

Hearing Jiang Hongfei say this, the more than 20 soldiers were all excited. They have suffered too much along the way.

Soon, after arranging for these people to go down to rest first, Jiang Hongfei still left Yang Chenghu alone.
