Diving flows from west to east, turns a corner in the northwest suburbs of Qianshan City, turns around and flows southward, and meets Wanshui in the north of Shipai Town.

After the fall of Qianshan City, all units of the 27th Group Army went west to dive and continued to resist by using coastal fortifications, and fought fiercely until late at night on the 17th, but the Japanese were never able to break through the coastal defense line.

In the early morning of the 18th, the sky was overcast and the wind and rain were coming, and the battle on the diving bank broke out again.

Savage Village, located in the northwest of Qianshan County, on the north shore of diving, is a ferry port of the ancient post road, and slowly formed a small town.

At this time, there was no gunfire in the direction of the Savage Village, but the officers and men of the 66th Regiment were already busy: reinforcing the fortifications, arranging firing points, and probing the terrain and the enemy's situation.

At the regiment headquarters, Li Siwei had just sent Regiment Commander Liu out of the air-raid shelter, and he took the rest of his troops to return to the division headquarters to report after diving. In the battle of Tanyuan Town, the casualties of Regiment Commander Liu's troops were exhausted, and even if they stayed, they couldn't help much, not to mention that the defense line of the savage village was not long, and a regiment was more than enough to garrison.

Seeing off Regiment Leader Liu, Li Siwei stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky, but seeing that the clouds were thick, there must have been a wind and rain.

"I'm afraid it's raining again." Zheng Sanyang looked at the sky and sighed, "In summer, the banks of the Yangtze River will not be sunny for a few days. ”

"Let's go down," Li Siwei smiled, "the bigger the down, the better, the road will be flooded, and the little devil can only retreat back to the city!" ”

Zheng Sanyang was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "As soon as the road is flooded, reinforcements will come slowly." ”

"That's the same," Li Siwei sighed, "I don't know when Brigade Commander Luo and them will arrive...... Lao Tzu really misses them. ”

Zheng Sanyang was stunned, "Do you miss them?" ”

In his impression, the relationship between Li Siwei and Brigadier Luo and others was not close.

Li Siwei smiled wryly, "Turtles, stuff Lao Tzu into other troops, don't care about anything, make Lao Tzu like children without a mother." ”

Zheng Sanyang understood and nodded, "Yes, it's not my own army after all...... Some things are so inconvenient. ”

After all, the 66th Regiment is not the official establishment of the 27th Group Army, and some things are really inconvenient, such as supply, such as liaison between upper and lower levels, and coordination between various departments.

Li Siwei sighed, "There is not much ammunition, and the rations are almost exhausted, so you can't let the brothers go hungry and do it with the little devils, right?" ”

Zheng Sanyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Sichuan army is already very poor, how can they supply us?" ”

At this time, he also missed Brigadier Luo...... and the supplies that followed.

The pouring rain came as scheduled, and the gunfire on both sides of the diving bank slowed down a little, and the brothers of the special service company reported one after another, "The little devils in the hidden mountains have no signs of attacking the savage village." ”

Li Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also reasonable: the little devil wanted to attack Taihu Lake, and the Savage Village was not on their attack route, so instead of making a detour to the northwest to attack the Savage Village, it was better to directly force the dive and approach Taihu Lake.

How did he know that the Japanese had already made a clear reconnaissance: there were complete fortifications in the northwest of Qianshan, and the terrain was dangerous, so wouldn't it be self-inflicted if they attacked in the northwest direction?

It was raining heavily outside, and after breakfast, the soldiers hid in the fortifications to avoid the rain, but it was rare to be idle.

Li Siwei sat in the air-raid shelter, pulled out the short knife on his waist and wiped it, the dim horse lamp reflected the blade, and the cold light flickered, but this sharp blade had not drunk blood for a long time!

Zheng Sanyang stared at the short knife with some curiosity, "It's made by Hanyang, right?" ”

Li Siwei nodded and continued to wipe, "I've been using it in Songpu, take advantage of it!" ”

Zheng Sanyang shook his head, "It's better to take advantage of the box cannon." ”

Li Siwei raised his head and smiled at him, "Each has its own use, each has its own benefits, it depends on how you use it." ”

Zheng Sanyang was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly, "That's right, they are all sharp weapons for killing, it depends on how they are used." ”

"Da Da Da ......"

Huang Hua came in from the outside, his steps were hurried, and his face was full of joy, "Regiment Commander, Brigade Commander Luo, they have arrived." ”

"Oh," Li Siwei stood up suddenly, his face full of joy, "It's really here, where is it?" ”

"In the town," Huang Hua smiled, "I can finally improve the food today, Brigade Commander Luo and they brought a lot of food, saying that it was rewarded to our regiment by the corps headquarters." ”

Li Siwei glared at him and scolded with a smile: "Turtle's, hungry again?" ”

Huang Hua smiled, "I've been eating dry food for several days...... Alas, it is still comfortable in Taiping Village, and the beef tube is full! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, smiled and shook his head, "In the savage village, Lao Tzu has no cattle to kill." ”

Savage Village was originally a small town with not many houses. However, as the war was imminent, many people had fled, but some houses were vacated, and the wounded of the 66th Regiment were placed in the town school, and the handymen and cooks were in the adjacent courtyard.

Li Siwei hurried to the town with Huang Hua, and saw the supplies brought by Brigade Commander Luo, several large carts, and the brothers were moving to the courtyard of the cooking platoon.

Li Siwei couldn't hide his smile, "I can really improve the food today, I don't know if there is ammunition?" ”

"There must be," Huang Hua looked determined, "Brigade Commander Luo said, in the battle of Hengshan Ridge, we fought well, since we fought well, how can we not give ammunition?" ”

As soon as Huang Hua's words fell, he saw Brigade Commander Luo walking out of the gate of the academy with the guards.

Li Siwei hurriedly greeted him and saluted with a "snap", "Hello brigade commander!" ”

Brigade Commander Luo waved his hand, looked him up and down, and smiled, "Not bad, not bad, it's good if you're not injured...... I heard that the little devils have used poison gas bombs? ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Fortunately, the little devil only used it once, otherwise, it would be miserable...... The gas bomb was fierce! ”

Brigade Commander Luo was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "You snatched all the poison gas bombs back, they just want to use them, but they can't use them." ”

The accompanying guards all laughed, and the 66th Regiment grabbed the little devil's gas bombs, but there was a lot of movement.

Li Siwei had no choice but to look at Brigade Commander Luo and smiled, "Brigade Commander, what new tasks are there?" ”

Brigade Commander Luo's expression was full, and his eyes were blazing looking at Li Siwei, "Our department was ordered to garrison the Savage Village to the front line of Tianzhu Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to flank the enemy...... Siwei, the expectations for you are very high, no, the headquarters asked me to send you reward materials, one pound of pork and beef per person...... You can't be lazy if you eat meat. ”

Li Siwei's spirits perked up, and he "snapped" and stood upright, "Please rest assured, the brigade commander will never dare to slack off!" ”

"Good!" Brigade Commander Luo nodded with satisfaction, "The savage village will be handed over to your regiment." ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei suddenly agreed, his face hesitant, "Brigade commander, where is the ammunition?" ”

Brigade Commander Luo was stunned and patted him on the shoulder, "Naturally, ammunition is indispensable to you, but you have to save some use, this is not a corps garrison after all, and it is not easy to replenish ammunition." ”

The headquarters of the 66th Brigade is located in Shuihe Town, and the three regiments are deployed in Savage Village, Tianzhu Mountain, and Shuihe Town, forming a corner, which can be regarded as the bridgehead of the defenders on the north shore of diving.

Seeing off Brigade Commander Luo, Li Siwei walked straight into the gate of the academy.

The conditions of the field hospital converted from the academy were naturally simple, with some straw on the ground and thin quilts on the straw, and the wounded were lying on it, all with pale faces and low spirits. Fortunately, the medical platoon took good care of them, but no one died because of the deterioration of their injuries.

When Li Siwei saw this scene, his heart was sour, and he stayed at the door.

Many wounded people had already seen Li Siwei and shouted, "Regiment commander." ”

Li Siwei hurriedly waved his hand to let them lie down, walked in, and smiled reluctantly, "Brothers, the above rewarded us with a lot of meat, let Wei stew it for you at noon, and be full!" ”

Hearing this, all the wounded smiled.

"Commander, is it still like in Taiping Village?" A brother with bandages on his thighs looked at Li Siwei with a smile on his face, "I haven't eaten enough meat for a long time, and I'm so hungry." ”

"Yes, just like in Taiping Village," Li Siwei nodded heavily and walked over to him, "Erzhu, do you feel better?" ”

Erzhu smiled, "Leader, Doctor Ning said, I'm fine, I can still fight devils after half a month." ”

"Well, it's okay," Li Siwei nodded, and looked at the wounded man lying next to him, "Wufu, didn't hurt your internal organs, right?" ”

"No," Wufu hurriedly shook his head, "The shrapnel has been taken out, and Doctor Ning said that I haven't been seriously injured yet." ”

Li Siwei's heart trembled, Wufu was hit by shrapnel from the shell, and his upper body was wrapped in gauze, how could his injuries be lighter than Erzhu? Ning Rou said this, but she was just encouraging him.

"Have a good rest," Li Siwei nodded, and walked towards the next wounded.

Li Siwei walked over to the wards one by one, and when he came out again, the air was already filled with a strong smell of meat...... When it was time for lunch, the rain still didn't stop.

"It's really fragrant," Wu Ruolan walked over with a smile and walked to Li Siwei under the roof of the opposite side, "Leader, it's pork stewed noodles, right?" ”

Li Siwei looked back at her, she was a little thinner and darker than when she was in Pingyi City, and there was tiredness in her big beautiful eyes.

"Commander?" Wu Ruolan was stared at by Li Siwei steadily, her pretty face was slightly red, and she glared at Li Siwei, "I ...... Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Li Siwei smiled awkwardly, and his voice was gentle, "Ruolan, thank you for your hard work." ”

Wu Ruolan was stunned, her big eyes were bent into crescent moons, and her words were full of joy, "It's not hard, I'm happy to do these things." ”

"Well," Li Siwei nodded, reached out and untied his gun, strode in front of Wu Ruolan, and handed over the gun, "Ruolan, the sachet you gave me last time was very good, and I didn't have anything to give you, so I'll give you this gun." ”

It was a box cannon, and it was uniformly distributed.

Wu Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook her head, "I don't want to, you take the devil and go." ”

Li Siwei smiled and shook his head, "This gun has not had enough range, and it is not very useful on the battlefield, I am still used to using a rifle." ”

This is true, Li Siwei prefers to use a spear.

"That'...... Let's change this one with you," Wu Ruolan hurriedly untied her matching gun, "I haven't used it a few times, and I still have more bullets." ”

It was a southern fourteen pistol, which was given to her when she joined the army in Pingyi City.

"Okay," Li Siwei took the gun, tied it around his waist, and patted it with a smile, "Well, this gun is good, small and lightweight, and it won't get in the way when you run." ”

Wu Ruolan also tied up the matching gun that Li Siwei had exchanged for her, took out the box gun and played with it, her face full of joy, "I still think this gun is good." ”

Li Siwei looked at her and smiled slightly, a little doting, "It's good to like it...... I'll go first, you have to take care of yourself. ”

"Well, I know," Wu Ruolan raised her head and grinned at Li Siwei's back, "I also have to take care of Sister Rou'er." ”

There was meat at noon, and the brothers naturally laughed and laughed.

The rain was so heavy that the ministries left their guard posts and took refuge in bomb shelters.

In the second battalion, Liao Heiniu also regained his fighting spirit, and after eating, he bragged with his brothers again, "I think back then, when Lao Tzu was in Jiangcheng, there was wine and meat, and that day ......was so moisturized."

"Battalion commander," one of the brothers interrupted, "we've heard you talk about this many times, so let's talk about something new." ”

Liao Heiniu froze for a moment and glared at him, "Zhou Papi, Lao Tzu knows what you want to hear, hehe, Lao Tzu won't talk about it." ”

This week's peeling is naturally not the same Zhou's peeling, that Zhou Peel is a landlord who learned to crow chickens in the middle of the night, but this Zhou Peel is from the Sichuan Army, and later followed Liu Heishui to Li Siwei in Taiping Village. The reason why Liao Heiniu called him peeling skin was because this guy was very careful when cleaning the battlefield, and the corpse of the devil he touched, others didn't even want to find a complete pair of pants.

Zhou Pipi smiled, "If you don't talk about it, it's a ball." ”

When the brothers saw this scene, they all burst into laughter, "Zhou Papi, what do you want to hear?" ”

"Hehe," Zhou Papi swept everyone with a smile, "Anyway, what Lao Tzu wants to hear, you must like to hear it, even a man loves to hear it!" ”

"Oh," the brothers suddenly realized, "isn't it a woman?" ”

"That's right!" Zhou Papi nodded and looked at Liao Heiniu, "Battalion commander, look, the brothers are waiting, you don't have to fight." ”

"Yes, yes," all the brothers looked at Liao Heiniu, "Battalion commander, you can talk about it." ”

"That's right," Li Siwei's voice sounded at the entrance of the cave, "Hei Niu, you can talk about it." ”

"Commander," everyone was startled, got up one after another, and looked at the entrance of the cave.

Li Siwei strode in and waved his hands, "All sit, all sit...... It's nothing, Lao Tzu just walks around and takes a look...... The lunch meal is okay, right? ”

"Okay!" The brothers laughed, "If only we had such good food for every meal." ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "Turtle'er, eat like this at once, no matter how big the family business is, you will be devastated!" ”

Everyone laughed wryly, "That's right, big families can't eat like this all at once." ”

Li Siwei looked around at everyone with a whole expression, "However, as long as the brothers work hard, it's okay to eat such a meal once in a while, if you don't give it above, you will buy it yourself." ”

"Yes," the brothers echoed, "as long as the battle is won, there will be meat to eat." ”

Li Siwei smiled slightly and looked at Liao Heiniu, "Heiniu, it's rare to be so idle, brothers want to hear it, you can tell them about it." ”

Liao Heiniu looked at Li Siwei and nodded lightly...... He understands what Li Siwei means, tell them about it, I'm afraid that if you want to talk about it in the future, they may not be able to listen to it.

Liao Heiniu's gaze slowly swept over the brothers, it was a thin face, it was a tired face, it was a face full of longing...... Many of them are afraid that they have not even touched a woman's finger!

Liao Heiniu sighed secretly and cheered up, "Okay, Lao Tzu will tell you about the four beauties of Jiangcheng today......

"Good ......" The brothers were in high spirits, looking at Liao Heiniu with blazing eyes, and the spirit was no worse than when they attended the morning meeting in Luohe! It seems that Liao Heiniu can really tell them a delicate beauty when he talks about it.

"Let's talk about this Jiangcheng first, surrounded by rivers, outstanding people, since ancient times, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, Jiangcheng, a good mountain and good water, since ancient times to produce beauty......"

Liao Heiniu talked endlessly, spitting everywhere, and the brothers listened with relish and yearning.

Li Siwei turned around lightly and quietly walked out of the bomb shelter, the rain was still falling outside, just like Li Siwei's heart at this time.

For the brothers, happiness is actually very simple, a day of leisure, a few words of Longmen array.

However, this simple happiness is also rare to have once, and this simple happiness is destined to be short-lived, because as soon as the rain stops, the little devil will make a comeback.
