Gradually, as her thoughts became entangled, Shao Mengru felt that her head began to hurt again.

Suddenly feeling a severe tightness in her chest, she struggled and shouted a few times, stopping the soldier carrying the stretcher.

With Xiaohe's support, Shao Mengru stood up with difficulty, stood up straight with the trunk of the tree beside her, and kept breathing.

"Sister Mengru, are you okay?"

"I'm fine......."

"Ah, what's wrong with your throat, sister?"

Hearing this, Shao Mengru shook her head bitterly. She knew very well in her heart that she was in a hurry because of what happened last night, and her throat was probably full of blood blisters.

"Sister Shao, drink some water."

Nodding gratefully, Shao Mengru took Xiaohe's kettle and raised her neck to drink some water.

With the cool well water in her stomach, the resentment in her heart finally dissipated a little.

At this moment, an annoying voice sounded again behind him.

"Why did you stop moving forward?"

"Report to the detachment leader, Dr. Shao is not feeling well, she wants to get up and catch her breath."

……

Looking at the weak back in front of him, Zhao Shixun wanted to open his mouth to comfort the other party for a few words, but finally swallowed it back.

"It's dawn, you can't stay here for long, if you don't feel well, continue on the stretcher, and if it's okay, follow along."

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun immediately turned around and returned to the front of the team.

Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving, Shao Mengru turned around with a cold face. Because she had just suppressed the anger in her heart, she felt like the world was spinning again. In desperation, he could only continue to lie on the stretcher.

……

Nearly half past eight in the morning, Zhao Shixun and the others finally returned to Zhou Yu's hiding place.

Looking at the empty valley in front of him, Zhao Shixun frowned when he looked at the Dapeng in front of him.

"What about the grain? What about the others? ”

"Detachment leader, before dawn, the old immortal saw that you had not returned, so he persuaded the instructor to go east with the food first. He said that we can only take the main road to catch the car, and if you come back after dawn, our grain will not be able to pass through the stronghold of Chenjiayu Village. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun instantly understood everything. Indeed, even if the puppet army in the stronghold of Chenjiayu Village was scared by himself yesterday, it would be impossible for him to be so arrogant that he drove the grain truck swaggering past under the other party's nose in broad daylight.

If you can't get by, then the food you have seized can only be thrown here temporarily, in case it is found before you bring someone back to pick it up, it will be completely lost.

"Huh...... This old immortal is quite calculating. ”

"Black baby! Give the order to go down and rest for fifteen minutes! ”

……

After a short rest, Zhao Shixun and the others walked another section of the road before they got into the mountains and forests on the side of the road.

……

In the stronghold on the hillside outside Chenjiayu Village, with the sound of a wooden ladder, a thin puppet soldier ran down from the top of the turret with a rifle.

"Platoon commander! There seems to be someone in the mountains to the south, so go and check it out. ”

Hearing that he was clever, Kang Wazi quickly jumped up from the rocking chair of the former platoon leader and ran to the shooting hole in a few steps.

Squinting his eyes to the south, he looked at it for a while, then squinted at the man next to him.

"I said, are you kid out of sight?! It's all fucking woods, where are the figures? ”

"Platoon Commander Kang, look at that, they are walking around the edge of the woods, and the gray figure is flashing, it is definitely dirt and eight!"

Hearing this, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, but Kang Wazi still didn't see anything.

"Yes, if only we had glasses......

To say that in fact, every stronghold devil is equipped with a telescope, but the telescope of the Chenjiayu village stronghold was taken away by the short-lived platoon commander yesterday, and this will have already reached the hands of the independent detachment.

Until his eyes ached, Kang Wazi, who was slightly short-sighted, still didn't see anything. Seeing that the man next to him said that there were people in the woods, the nameless fire in his heart instantly came up.

kicked the other party over, Kang Wazi pointed at the other party's nose and scolded:

"Bunny! I can see it, you kid is sarcastic in disguise, Lao Tzu has a bad look, right? Yes?! ”

"No, no......, no, how dare you ...... that little one, there are indeed people in this woods."

"! You kid still has a hard mouth, don't you?! I'm going to fucking kick you to death! ”

"Oops...... Don't hit the platoon commander, I misunderstood, I lost my eyes...... Stop it. ”

……

Two days later, when Zhao Shixun led people back safely to Shenquan Village, after a short period of repair, the independent column also began the largest expansion operation since its establishment.

With surplus food on hand, the personnel sent by Zhou Yu recruited more than a hundred new soldiers from Sili and Eight Towns within a few days.

After the soldiers are not worried, all that remains is the issue of weapons, ammunition and training.

The training is easy to do, the veterans lead the recruits, and with the guidance of Zhao Shixun in the back, the training work will be naturally rolled out in an all-round way.

As for the weapons, because the old man brought back the place where Zhao Shixun had recorded the hidden guns, after half a month of searching, Xizi also brought back more than 100 long and short guns with the second platoon.

By the end of the year, after nearly a month of reorganization and reorganization, the independent detachment had grown to a size of nearly 300 people, and in addition to the fact that ammunition was still scarce, the shelves were well supported.

When there are more people, the establishment has been slightly changed. The first row and the second platoon were merged into a company, the company commander was Heiwa, and the deputy company commander was Xizi. There are three reinforced platoons with more than 45 people, and the platoon commanders are Lao Gui, Shunzi, and Dazhuang.

The third platoon and the fourth platoon were merged into the second company, with Zhou Yu as the company commander and Zhang Dapeng as the deputy company commander, with two infantry platoons and one heavy fire platoon. The infantry platoon commander is the same as the old man and the old immortal, while the heavy firepower platoon leader is still Qi Baoshan.

At the same time, due to the addition of Shao Mengru, the independent detachment also formed its own health team, with an establishment of 20 people, and the heads were Shao Mengru and Xiaohe.

During the period of expansion of the independent detachment, the Japanese and the puppet army also surprisingly stopped, and because a large number of Japanese troops in southern Jinnan were transferred out of the war zone, the strength of the Japanese troops remaining in the Zhongtiao Mountain area was greatly reduced. In order to supplement the strength of the occupying army, the Japanese army began to expand the puppet army on a large scale.

During this period, the Japanese puppet army was surprisingly quiet, except for the routine collection of grain and the construction of strongholds, the Japanese puppet army spent most of the time in the strongholds.

In this way, taking advantage of the temporary silence of the Japanese puppet army, the independent detachment finally got a relatively stable respite.

However, as the winter deepened, the disadvantages of the shortage of materials of the independent detachment began to become more and more obvious. Not to mention anything else, this warm clothing is the biggest shortcoming!

Due to the blockade of the devils and the fierce fighting some time ago, the Eighth Route Army in the entire Jinnan region is in the stage of strategic recovery.

The base area suffered serious damage, coupled with the blockade of the Japanese puppet army, which made the Eighth Route Army extremely short of materials.

Although Zhou Yu asked the column three times within a month, in the end he was only supported by dozens of shabby military uniforms and poor weapons and ammunition.

As the heavy snow fell one after another, the soldiers who saw frostbite and frostbite getting older and older, even affecting their daily training, and the leadership of the entire detachment became gloomy.

On this day, seeing that the weather was too cold, the old immortal privately issued an order that he could not withdraw from the guard post, and he made it impossible for the soldiers who did not have warm clothes to go out to exercise.

After breakfast in the morning, Zhao Shixun, who was sitting in the room studying the map, suddenly felt that the courtyard was strangely quiet, and there was no slogan for soldiers to go out for drills. Hurriedly put on his clothes, Zhao Shixun went straight to the outside of the camp.

Looking at the empty venue, Zhao Shixun's brows furrowed, and he waved his hand to call the sentry on duty.

"What about the rows of men? Why don't you come out to train? ”

When the sentry, who was wrapped in several layers of tattered clothes and whose face was blue from the cold, heard this, he hurriedly ran over and saluted, and said:

"Report to the detachment leader, the deputy detachment leader called everyone back in the morning, saying that the weather was too cold and asked everyone to suspend training today."

Looking at the warriors shivering in the cold wind, Zhao Shixun sighed softly. Untied his captured Japanese overcoat, Cho Shixun draped him over the sentry's body.

"Detachment leader, this can't be helped. I'm fine, I've been frost-resistant since I was a child. ”

"If you put it on, put it on, what a wordy thing!"

"Oh......"

Giving his coat to the sentry, Zhao Shixun immediately felt a biting chill.

Glancing at the gloomy sky, he tightened his clothes and walked briskly towards the headquarters.

……

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Shixun saw the old immortal sitting alone on the ground, sitting around the charcoal basin on the ground and roasting the fire.

silently moved a tattered stool, and Zhao Shixun also sat on the edge of the charcoal basin.

Glancing at Zhao Shixun, the old immortal rubbed his hands that were frozen blue, and said lightly:

"People's fathers and mothers sent their children to our team to fight devils, not to ...... to be frozen. In the past few days, more than a dozen people have been frostbitten, and if it goes on like this, few people will be able to pick up a gun in less than half a month. ”

Hearing this, looking at the flames in the charcoal basin, Zhao Shixun pondered for a moment.

"How much money is left on the line?"

"There are only a dozen oceans left, and most of the tickets sent by the column last time were border tickets, and the people here don't recognize them at all, and they can't spend their ....... Even with this money, I still keep it to buy salt. ”

"By the way, is Lao Zhou back?"

"I didn't ...... I've been there for three days, and I haven't come back yet. Besides, we have nearly 300 people, and the underground party in the county town is not enough for us to spend even if they smash pots and sell iron, and I think most of them can't solve many problems............ ”

Thinking of this, the old immortal suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Shixun, squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice:

"I see that Dapeng and a few soldiers from the second company have not been in the team for the past few days, is there something you kid is hiding from me?"

"Oh! Is it? ”

was suddenly asked by the old immortal, and Zhao Shixun immediately started haha.

"Don't pretend...... Ge Laozi, Zhou Yu, as soon as they left, you sent Dapeng to take people out, you really didn't notice me. ”

"Huh...... You old thing, why do you have such a treacherous nose? ”

…… To be continued, thank you for your ticket support!! Thank you!!
