Chapter 34: Rescue (1)

As soon as Tsuruta Numa's idea came out, Kanshiro Rakuai was in front of him. For the current situation, this plan is really a good idea. This dirt eight roads either come out to the rescue and fight to the death with themselves. Either sit back and watch the empire punish the villagers of Wangjiagou for not saving them when they see death, and what awaits them will be a complete foothold in the entire eastern mountainous forest area of Hubei.

Without the support of those ordinary people, in this barren Taihang Mountains, how should they stand on their feet? It's no wonder that this guy entered the Army University when he first applied for the exam and opened the door to the general, this guy has a lot more ghost ideas than himself.

Thinking of this, Kanshiro Rakuai made up his mind. Immediately led the troops to assemble, went down the mountain, and went directly to Wangjiagou. And before leaving, he bit the root of his teeth against Li Ziyuan's bold earthy eight roads. has made up his mind to leave no chickens and dogs killed in the entire Wangjiagou, so as to completely deter those people in the eastern part of Hubei who dare to support Tubalu.

Although the Japanese puppet army suddenly withdrew, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There is a Japanese puppet army guarding the top of the head, and the feeling of hiding in the thatch is really pleasant. Especially Chang Juan, who is a little inconvenient at the moment, is quite uncomfortable because she is curled up in the grass.

At present, the Japanese puppet army is withdrawing, and almost all of them are looking at Li Ziyuan with admiration, and their hearts are undoubtedly relaxed. But compared to the relaxation of others, Li Ziyuan, who has always held a telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese puppet army under the mountain, feels the opposite of others at the moment.

He didn't think that the little devil would let go so easily, and he dispatched so many troops and did not conduct a large-scale search, which was undoubtedly very inconsistent with the practice of the devil. Especially in the case that the Japanese puppet army suffered such a big loss today, after a simple search, they did not do anything to retreat, and the reason for this is definitely not something that can be explained by darkness and dense forests, and the Japanese puppet army is likely to have other plans.

Looking at Li Ziyuan, whose brows were getting tighter and tighter with the sudden withdrawal of the Japanese puppet army, Chang Juan, who felt better after stretching his legs beside him. Holding his stomach, he said with some doubts: "Captain Li, why did this devil withdraw, but you are not very happy?" ”

"But speaking of which, today is thanks to you. If it weren't for your quick reaction, we would all be stuck in the temple at the bottom of the mountain today. If you hadn't let us retreat to the top of the mountain, only halfway up the mountain, we might have been surrounded by devils on the west mountain right now. ”

"Together with Wangjiagou's time, you have brought everyone out of danger twice in a row. If you hadn't reacted quickly, we'd all have been eaten twice by the devils. In the end, this is a cadre from the old Red Army, and this military quality is high, no wonder Commander Wang insisted that you were the best candidate for this captain. ”

Regarding Chang Juan's conscious words, he was thinking about why the devil withdrew so quickly, and Li Ziyuan, who did not conform to the devil's consistent style, did not listen to it. But the three words of Wang Jiagou in Chang Juan's mouth reminded him like an initiation.

Li Ziyuan, who reacted, didn't pay attention to Chang Juan beside him. Instead, Guan Li shouted to his side, and asked Guan Li directly to the point, whether it was possible for the Japanese puppet army to retreat to Wangjiagou. After receiving Guan Li's affirmative reply, Li Ziyuan directly shouted that it was bad.

When Chang Juan and Guan Li, who were beside him, looked at him in bewilderment, Li Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said, "This group of devils retreated so quickly, but they didn't just go home." I guess they should go to Wangjiagou, one is to take revenge on the villagers who helped us, and the other is probably to lure the snake out of the hole, leading us to show up in order to rescue the villagers in Wangjiagou. ”

After Li Ziyuan said this, Chang Juan and Li Ziyuan were shocked, and Guan Li looked at Li Ziyuan in surprise: "Captain, if the target of the Japanese puppet army is Wangjiagou, the villagers there will be in danger." We must save them, and we can't let the devils slaughter the village. ”

Regarding Guan Li's thoughts, Li Ziyuan said in an unusually firm tone: "Wangjiagou, you must be saved." At the beginning, the villagers of Wangjiagou were so enthusiastic about us. I'd rather cut down on food and clothing by myself, and ensure that the supply of the troops is not short of a tael of food, if we don't save it, will it still be a person? But how to save it, I still have to think about it. ”

"To be honest, the level of training of the troops is far from what I would like it to be. Whenever possible, I definitely don't want to have a hard fight with the Japanese puppet army now, but we must save Wangjiagou. Our troops are not yet at the point where they can fight a tough battle, so we still have to think about it. ”

"Lao Guan, from us to Wangjiagou, is there any other way besides the direction of the retreat of the Japanese puppet army? I was worried that if the Japanese puppet army really wanted to lead us out of the mountain, they would set up ambushes along the way and wait for us. Their current strength is enough to encircle Wangjiagou on the one hand, and to set up ambushes at key points along the way. ”

"If we rescue Wangjiagou, we must avoid the ambush circle that the Japanese puppet army may set up. Otherwise, the villagers in Wangjiagou will not only not be able to save them, but they may also put us in it. Judging from the firepower carried by the Japanese puppet army today, if we are ambushed by the Japanese puppet army, then we will most likely not be able to survive a round of attacks by the Japanese puppet army. ”

Li Ziyuan's question made Guan Li ponder for a long time before he said: "Captain, there is a path that only medicine pickers or hunters take on weekdays. Except for those who grew up here, this path is unknown to most people. However, this road is not only difficult to walk, but also somewhat detouring. ”

Guan Li's answer, but Li Ziyuan didn't think about it, and directly decided to take this path. After taking the troops down the mountain to assemble, Li Ziyuan looked at the soldiers in front of him and said directly: "Brothers, maybe we will encounter the first tough battle after you join the army today. ”

"Because the Japanese puppet army did not retreat, they did leave here. But it is very likely that they went to Wangjiagou. They are going to threaten all the villages that support us by means of massacre, and even more so to lure us into attack so that they can find an opportunity to eat us. ”

"What kind of place is Wangjiagou, it is the first village where our army was stationed since its establishment. We have been stationed in Wangjiagou for more than half a month, and the villagers there would rather cut down on food and clothing every day, and they would not be able to eat enough, but also save every grain of food to supply us. ”

"Every day we wash clothes and cook for everyone, and when that soldier is sick, he takes out the only white flour he has and makes noodles and brings them to your kang. He even killed the only chicken in the house to replenish the sick warrior. The villagers there are very kind to our troops. ”

"It is precisely because of these that the little devils want to slaughter the village to take revenge on the villagers there when they can't find us. To be honest, although I know that it is not yet time for you to confront the Japanese puppet army, we must save Wangjiagou. If we don't rescue the folks there, are we still human? Do you still deserve to hold the gun in your hand? ”

"Ever since the weapon replenishment was completed, haven't you all been gearing up to compete with the little devils? Well, let's be mules and horses today, and we'll all pull them out and slip away. Let's see if you're scared to pee your pants when you get to the battlefield. Today, Lao Tzu will tell you that Lao Tzu has to ask for everyone in the army, just don't want puss and soft eggs. ”

Li Ziyuan's words fell, and the emotions of the entire army stimulated by his words rose, and they all asked to fight with the devil now. Looking at the excited emotions of the fighters, Li Ziyuan didn't say anything more. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he immediately set off with his troops, and under the guidance of Guan Li, he marched at the speed of a forced march in the direction of Wangjiagou.

In the absence of flashlights and the inability to light torches, in order to speed up the march, they rushed to Wangjiagou ahead of the Japanese puppet army and rescued the villagers there from under the Japanese army's butcher knife. Li Ziyuan would rather have non-combat attrition than even reduce the speed of the march.

But considering the possible situation of falling behind, Li Ziyuan asked Shi Jin to take two physically strong warriors to lead the team to contain them in the back. And Li Ziyuan himself snatched the crooked machine gun from the machine gunner and carried it on his shoulder after running halfway through.

It's just that he hurried slowly, and by the time Li Ziyuan led the team to Wangjiagou, it was already somewhat late. When there were still three miles away from Wangjiagou, a fire had already ignited in the direction of Wangjiagou. The fire, which burned at night, could be seen clearly even from three miles away.

Looking at the sky-high fire burning in the direction of Wangjiagou, Li Ziyuan's heart was slightly cold. But Li Ziyuan, who kept admonishing himself to be calm in his heart, was not carried away by the firelight. I may be a little late, but it's not the latest yet. The devil set fire to the house, and he didn't necessarily kill people now, because he hadn't shown up yet.

The little devil will burn down the house now, and maybe let the fire tell him. If he rashly launched an attack, it might be the intention of the Japanese puppet army. Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan ordered the troops to immediately stop advancing, summoned several cadres to his side, and told them to immediately be on full alert and ready for battle at all times.

Li Ziyuan, on the other hand, took the telescope and a small team cautiously, but quickly moved forward. He wanted to see how the Japanese puppet army was deployed in Wangjiagou. The most important thing is that if the Japanese puppet army has not carried out the massacre, then where are the villagers imprisoned.

The bullet is not long-sighted, Li Ziyuan doesn't want to think that after it really starts, there will be villagers who will be accidentally injured by their own bullets or in the firepower. If the Japanese puppet army has not yet carried out the massacre, it is best to observe where the villagers are being held and then take rescue actions. As for those houses, Li Ziyuan thinks that as long as people can keep them, the others are nothing.

So Li Ziyuan took a small team and cautiously touched the direction of Wangjiagou first. When he was marching, he did not choose to walk at the foot of the mountain, nor did he choose to walk the ridge, but chose to walk the mountainside. In Li Ziyuan's view, if the Japanese puppet army, which has absolute superior firepower, chooses to ambush itself, its position is likely to be set up on the ridge of this section of the mountain, which is very gentle and only more than 200 meters high.

Walking the ridge, it is very likely that you will fight an encounter with the Japanese puppet army. Although it is more risky to choose to act on the mountainside, once the whereabouts are exposed, it may be condescending by the Japanese puppet army's firepower, and the suppressed head will not be able to lift up, but as long as you are careful, it is still possible to avoid the eyes of the Japanese puppet army.
