Stepping on the soft soil, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, only when he was on the boat, he knew how happy it was to be down-to-earth, the troops of three hundred people had just finished landing, and several boatmen were so frightened that they were afraid that Zhang Wei would regret and change their minds, Qiu Qingquan sent the guards to give the boatmen "the balance." Seven boats were out of their sight at once.

"It's finally here."

The 300-strong troops did not stay on the beach for long, and ran at full speed to the green gauze tent in the distance. The reeds and weeds formed an excellent natural barrier, and as long as no one fired a shot, the three hundred people would not be discovered.

He Kun led people to cut a hole outside the reeds with bayonets, and the people behind him also took the initiative to pick up bayonets to clean up, layer after layer, and finally cleared a two-person wide passage, and the soldiers walked while chopping, and finally reached a foothold.

"Sir, it's safe for the time being, the Japanese are not strong enough to sweep the vicinity of Anqing."

Zhang Wei sat on the ground and said to Qiu Qingquan.

"The next thing is to go forward, find a foothold, find a train station, Anhui is still in our hands, the administrative agencies are still there, as long as you find it, you can go."

Zhang Wei listened to Qiu Qingquan's words, although it was reasonable, but the troops must not relax, don't forget that the boatmen just now said that a small group of Japanese troops crossed the river.

"Sir, where are we going next?" Zhang Wei asked.

Qiu Qingquan's face was soothing, and then he replied: "Go to Xuzhou, where is the station of the Fifth War Zone, it is also convenient for us to contact, and the top priority is to find government offices and trains."

"Well, sir, let's walk along both sides of the road, we will definitely find the county seat and the station, let the brothers rest for a while."

Needless to say than Zhang Wei said, the soldiers have already sat down, some have already entered the dream, and the high-intensity combat for more than ten days has made everyone's mental state extremely poor, Zhang Wei is the same, he used to rely on the desire to survive, but now he is off the line and begins to fall asleep.

"Squint for a moment." Zhang Wei closed his eyes.

An hour later, it was Qiu Qingquan who woke him up. Zhang Wei slept enough, and when he looked around, the soldiers were also awake, preparing their weapons and equipment.

"Zhang Wei, let's go, now, the sooner the better, let's go a little further and we should meet the county seat, where is the train station." Qiu Qingquan pointed out on the map with his hand. It's about seven or eight kilometers away, and there are some villages along the way, but I don't know if there are people living there.

"Let's go." Zhang Wei roared softly, and the five infantry platoon commanders also began to organize the soldiers to march, and now there are five platoons, the first platoon, the second platoon, and the third platoon commander are He Kun, Qiu Wei, and Hao Zhonglai respectively, and the other two platoon commanders Zhang Wei do not know, they are all gathered near the headquarters headquarters, and both of them are low-level officers, so these two people were promoted to platoon commanders.

Walking out of the green gauze tent, the team was divided into left and right wings, advancing on both sides of the road, Zhang Wei and Qiu Qingquan led the two wings on the left and right. The soldiers of the search squad still went out, and Zhang Wei had already told them that there might be a hundred Japanese soldiers in front of them, and if something happened, they would fire their guns immediately.

This area of Jiangsu has not been affected by large-scale war, and it seems to be peaceful, the only incongruity is that there is no one on the main road, and there are no people around. Those who could run fled for refuge.

Two kilometers away from Zhang Wei and them, there was an abandoned village, and in this dilapidated village there was a squadron of Japanese troops hidden. The commander of the Japanese army, that is, the squadron leader of this squadron, Yamada, was observing the situation on the main road, and his squadron was alone in the depths, and the brigade sent itself to the other side of the river, that is, to let him serve as an outpost and reconnaissance.

He didn't know the deployment of the Chinese army at all, the current position was far enough, and if he went further, he might be found or even besieged, fortunately, there was an abandoned village to help, Yamada didn't plan to withdraw, just stayed in this village, and saw a large number of Chinese troops, with the quality of the Chinese army, the possibility of dodging was not small, and when he encountered a small group of Chinese troops, hum, he could eat them completely.

More than 100 troops were scattered in several large houses in the village, and some of the overly dilapidated grass houses were garrisoned by some rifle crews, Yamada still felt that it was too dangerous, if it was okay today, he planned to take people back tomorrow, but unfortunately, all the Chinese boatmen who had been captured at the beginning were killed, and he had to find a way to cross the river by himself.

"Everybody be on your toes and keep an eye on the road and both sides of the road." Yamada reminded his "samurai," continuing to hold up his binoculars and look.

Zhang Gouzi is a corporal in the search squad, he walked for a few miles, he didn't even see a human hair, and he was still searching on the surface, but in fact, Zhang Ergou's heart had already grown grass, looking at his comrade-in-arms Xiao Lizi who was observing everywhere beside him.

"Hey, don't look at it, there's not even a devil hair in this ghost place, take a walk and find a place to have a drink? Xiao Lizi ignored him, and replied while looking at the village that appeared in the distance: "Ergou, don't talk about it anywhere, you finally ran out, you just want to drink, let's pass this level first." ”

Zhang Ergou disagreed: "Cut, there are no people in this place, where did the devil come from, there is a village in front of us, let's go in and find some chewing." ”

Xiao Lizi didn't pay attention to him anymore, but he didn't have any objection to entering the village to rest, after all, he was tired for so many days. The other search squad soldier behind him was also sleepy and hungry, and the three search soldiers on the right side of the road walked towards the village on the side of the road on the same side.

"Hey, over there, let's go into that village and have a look." , Zhang Ergou's two legs are getting faster and faster. The three of them walked towards the village, probing the situation was just an excuse, and even the always steady little plum couldn't help but speed up.

Yamada saw all this in the binoculars, the sporadic Chinese soldiers, looking at the clothes like a group of routed soldiers, Yamada stopped the light machine gun shooter prepared next to him,

"Don't shoot, use a knife, it's better to leave a living one."

Zhang Ergou is very happy, although this village is dilapidated, but looking at the soil on the ground, it seems that people have walked by, and if you can walk by people, it means that you can rest inside, and maybe you can catch two eggs. Zhang Ergou waved his hand to the two people behind him, and he took the lead in running into a room, ran towards the stove, opened the lid, and there were two and a half bowls of cold rice inside, as well as two yellow dried plums.

"This is simply for my brothers. , Little Lizi, come in, there are good things! There is something to eat," Zhang Ergou shouted excitedly, which was no less than his shouting on the battlefield.

When Xiao Lizi and another soldier heard that there was food, their original vigilance was gone, this village looks quite safe, the two thought in their hearts.

When I walked into the house, I saw Zhang Ergou holding a broken bowl and digging rice in the pot to eat. Xiao Lizi and the two rushed to the side of the pot and got started directly.

"You two eat slowly, if I hadn't brought you here, you two would still pretend to be vigilant, and leave more for Lao Tzu."
