Chen Fei listened to the explosion outside, and thought that he had survived this hurdle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tang Bing, count the number of people, let the soldiers rest, and send the food down." Chen Fei said.

"It's already starting to distribute food, and the number of people will be counted immediately, and the loss this time is too great." Tang Bing said.

"It's good that I can hide in the tunnel, otherwise the whole group will be finished." Ding San said as he handed over two steamed buns.

Chen Fei took the steamed bun and said while eating: "The company commanders and battalion commanders are on duty, and the soldiers sleep after eating." ”

After Chen Fei finished eating the steamed buns, he walked to the tunnel entrance of the well wall and listened to the situation outside.

"Regiment commander, the Military Commission has sent several urgent telegrams asking our regiment to break through immediately, and the Second Army has also sent a telegram to break through." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Yes, the radio is silent now." Chen Fei said.

"It started at 12 o'clock, and I turned off the phone after the last contact with Company Commander Fang." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Well, okay, you can go and rest too, I'm too tired these days." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, Captain!" Liu Xiaomei replied, saluted Chen Fei and left.

Chen Fei took out a cigarette and smoked it, the camel cigarette was too good to smoke, fragrant and mellow, at this time Tang Bing came over and Chen Fei handed over a cigarette and said, "Why didn't I feel that this cigarette was so easy to smoke before?" ”

Tang Bing smiled and said, "You are under too much pressure, and you smoke the same cigarette." ”

"The number of casualties came out, there were 170 people in the independent battalion, 89 people in the first battalion, 183 people in the second battalion, 238 people in the third battalion, 60 people in the guard company, 78 people in the reconnaissance company, 37 people in the action team, 23 people seriously injured, oh yes, 18 people in the communication company, 7 people in the medical center, everyone is here, plus you and I Guo Liang have a total of 907 people."

"Well, it's okay, the camps are here, and you can come again." Chen Fei smiled bitterly.

"Let's hope, there will be no more casualties when we break out." Tang Bing said.

"Well, you and the squad will discuss the route again, as well as the method and timing of the breakthrough." Chen Fei said.

"I've discussed it several times, and I hope it will go smoothly." Tang Bing said.

"Brother, yes, don't worry." Chen Fei said.

Tang Bing and Chen Fei smiled at each other.

In the Chongqing chairman's apartment, He Wenjuan's face turned pale, and the last meeting in Wuhan turned out to be a farewell.

He Wenjuan and Chen Fei didn't see each other much, but He Wenjuan had already imprinted Chen Fei firmly in his mind and lingered.

When he lost it, he realized that he might have fallen in love with Chen Fei deeply, which made He Wenjuan very helpless and powerless.

The Central Military Commission has issued an announcement posthumously recognizing Chen Fei as a major general, and has also commended all the officers and men of the Independent Regiment.

In the Taohua Village position, the devil commander looked at the devastated scene, and was deeply impressed by the independent regiment's lifeless fighting style, thinking that if there were a few more such troops in the Chinese army, it would be a big joke for the Japanese Empire to conquer China, and then ordered the troops to observe a three-minute silence in the village, for the imperial soldiers and for the independent regiment.

After hastily occupying Taohua Village the next day, the Japanese army began to pursue forward from the small road and the main road.

At ten o'clock, Liu Xiaomei turned on the radio station and contacted Fang Min for the second time.

The situation sent by Fang Min was that the Japanese army around Taohua Village was constantly advancing towards Wuhan without stagnation.

Chen Fei called back and remained silent.

Chen Fei sat on the edge of the well wall, thinking that he didn't know what was going on outside. I only know that the Japanese army is passing, Chen Fei wants to start breaking through tomorrow night, mainly because the seriously wounded can't bear it in this dark tunnel, but whether the devils can pass tomorrow.

"Captain!" Tang Bing came over and said.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Chen Fei said.

"Zhao Dadao said that the main force of the devil has passed, and now it is artillery and baggage troops, can you beat him." Tang Bing said.

"No, he's getting bolder." Chen Fei looked at Tang Bing and said angrily, "You think so too?" ”

"I didn't think about it, it was just Zhao Dadao's suggestion, so I came to ask for your thoughts." Tang Bing said embarrassedly.

"Tell him that there are a thousand warriors here, not a hundred." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, understood!" Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Bing and said: "If it sounds good, we have to pay the responsibility, and if it sounds bad, we are saving our lives." ”

"You're careless, too." Tang Bing said.

"Fighting devils is not something that can be done in a day or two, the soldiers of our current independent regiment have all experienced the big war, they are all treasures, and they can bring out many good soldiers in the future." Chen Fei said.

"Understood, Captain!"

"Okay, ask Dr. Sun, what is the condition of the wounded, can they move, how can they move better?" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!"

Chen Fei secretly shook his head and thought, it is good to be eager to fight, but there are still rules and regulations, you can't just know how to kill the enemy, and ignore your own strength, Zhao Dadao is still more than brave, and his wisdom is insufficient.

After a while, Tang Bing came over and said, "There are three soldiers who can't move, and the rest can be carried out, no problem." ”

"Hmm!" Chen Fei replied and thought to himself, what should these three fighters do?

Tang Bing saw that Chen Fei was silent and said, "Regiment commander, do you want to leave them behind, send two soldiers to take care of them, and we will come to pick them up in half a month." ”

"Will this work?" Chen Fei said.

"Yes, I've discussed it with Doctor Sun." Tang Bing said.

"Alright then!" Chen Fei said.

"Regiment Commander, it may be interesting for Doctor Sun to look at Liu Xiaomei." Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei looked at Tang Bing and smiled: "You rarely gossip like this, I have already seen it, let them, if you can, you can pull the red line." ”

Tang Bing smiled and said, "Damn, Doctor Sun doesn't seem to be able to hold down a fart for a long time." That's pretty quick. ”

Chen Fei smiled and said: "If you have the chance, hurry up and find one, although the war is chaotic, you still have to live." ”

Tang Bing scratched his scalp and smiled.

At this time, Zhao Liu came over to see that they were in a good mood: "Commander, let's pack cigarettes!" ”

"How many cigarettes did you smoke from me, this is going to smoke a lot." Chen Fei smiled.

"Who called the head of the regiment, you are a big family, hehe~" Zhao Liudao.

"Give~give~" Chen Fei took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to Zhao Liu.

"Thank you," Zhao replied.

The next night, Chen Fei gathered all the company and battalion commanders and said, "Tomorrow after 2 o'clock, we will start to break through and get ready." ”

"Don't make a sound, put away everything that is going to make a sound, bite something in your mouth, do you understand?" Tang Bing said.

The exit of this breakthrough is at the foot of the mountain by the root of an old tree, and the hole is very small and can only be crossed one by one, but fortunately it is very hidden.

Chen Fei called Zhao Dadao and said, "You come to open the way, be careful to find that the devil can bypass as much as possible, and you can't bypass and can't make a sound with a knife, understand?" ”

"Yes, Commander, rest assured!" Zhao Dadao said.

"Don't be careless." Chen Fei replied solemnly.

At two o'clock, Liu Xiaomei turned on the radio to contact Fang Min, and after a while, Liu Xiaomei put down her headphones and said to Chen Fei: "Commander, good news, there are no devils nearby." ”

"Tell them we're getting moving, pay attention." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei began to send a report while passing the road, Chen Fei watched Liu Xiaomei complete the task and said: "It's about to start breaking through, you have to be careful not to make a sound, understand?" ”

"Understood, Captain!" Liu Xiaomei said as she began to quickly dismantle the telegram and began to prepare.

Chen Fei looked at his watch, and at 2:15, he waved his hand to Zhao Dadao.

Zhao Dadao immediately started to act with the action team, and after a while, two bird calls came.

"Tang Bing, let's start!" Chen Fei whispered to Tang Bing.

Tang Bing waved his hand, and the independent battalion also began to crawl towards the entrance of the cave.

Chen Fei climbed out of the cave behind the independent battalion, and the stars were dotted outside, and the breeze was refreshing, which made people very comfortable.

After a while, all the independent regiments went out of the tunnel, and Tang Bing sorted out the tunnel entrance, because there were still 5 soldiers inside.

After an hour's march, the whole regiment entered the entrance path of Qingpine Cliff, and Zhao Dadao met the soldiers who came to meet him.

Chen Fei looked at the soldiers who responded to the worries in his heart, and when the whole regiment entered the Qingsong Cliff, Chen Fei saw Lao Mantou, Lao Zhangtou, Fang Min and the soldiers who came out in advance

"But when I wait for you, I'm worried about dying." Fang Min said excitedly.

"It's good to come, it's good!" Lao Zhangtou also said excitedly.

"Uh-huh!" Chen Fei was also very happy, but this was not the place to stay.

Chen Fei called Zhao Dadao over and said: "This breakthrough is still relatively smooth, next, we have to find the main force, now the vicinity is all enemy-occupied areas, we still have to be careful in our actions, let's act according to the predetermined plan!" ”

"Yes, regiment commander, we are going into the mountains, the road is more difficult to walk, but after the two ridges in front of us is the Henan boundary." Zhao Dadao said.

"Well, let's get moving!" Chen Fei said.

Zhao Dadao replied: "Yes! Saluted Chen Fei and turned around to lead the action team to open the way.

"Old crooked, take your reconnaissance company to follow." Chen Fei said loudly.

"Yes!" The old crooked replied.

"Regiment commander, we are prominent, can we contact the division headquarters?" Fang Min said.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, you are still in the occupied area, and I will inform you when the time comes, but it is still silent." ”

"Yes!" Fang Min replied and saluted and advanced with the troops.

"Tang Bing, the terrain of this Dabie Mountain is complex, and the slope direction is changeable, so the soldiers must be careful during the march." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Tang Bing replied.

The troops marched very slowly, mainly at night, and could not light more torches, so they could only rely on the stars in the sky to lead the way.

Chen Fei still felt that it was better to slow down, at least he would not let the soldiers have an accident during the march.

The day was getting brighter, and although the independent regiment did not walk much, at least there were no devils near the march in the mountains.

As dawn came, the troops marched faster.

"Commander, do you want to take a break?" Tang soldiers came over and said, the mountain road was too difficult to walk at night, and the soldiers were very tired.

"No, go over that ridge and rest for 30 minutes." Chen Fei pointed with his hand.

Chen Fei wanted to take advantage of the daytime to travel more, as long as he arrived in Hubei, he would be relieved.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the independent regiment finally crossed the two ridges and entered the Henan border.

"Ding San, tell the troops to rest in place, and call Zhao Dadao and Company Commander Fang." Chen Fei said to Ding Sandao.

"Yes!" Ding San turned around and went to find the two.

Chen Fei sat under a tree, took out a cigarette, smoked it, and thought to himself, this walk is too tiring, and the troops have to strengthen training in the mountains and forests, otherwise they will not be able to fight with the devils in the forest.

"Report, report!" Zhao Dadao and Fang Min walked over.

"Sit, Zhao Dadao should enter the Henan realm now!" Chen Fei replied to Zhao Dadao.

"This is the boundary of Henan, but there is still a long way to go to Hubei." Zhao Dadao said.

"Well, lead the way, find a good camp in every place you go, and tell the soldiers what to pay attention to in the woods, by the way, are there any wild vegetables, wild boars or anything like this forest is so lush?"

"Commander, there are so many good things in this forest, we can't stop when we are short on time, otherwise there will be more wild vegetables, wild boars, snakes, and hares." Zhao Dadao said.

"Oh, then, every time you go to a campsite, you go out to hunt, dig wild vegetables, remember that you don't want to play, you don't want to get something to eat, you want to let the soldiers know, what you can eat in this mountain forest, what you can't eat, to put it bluntly, how can you survive, understand?" Chen Fei said to know.

Zhao Dadao thought for a while and said, "Didn't you go to the army that night?" ”

"Well, starting today, the march will stop as soon as it gets dark, so the brothers who opened the road in front will work a little harder." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Dadao said.

"Okay, you go and arrange it!" Chen Fei said, Zhao Dadao saluted and went to arrange.

"Company Commander Fang, come here and the ground is not dirty, sit down and speak!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Fang Min replied, sat down and looked at Chen Fei.

"You sent a report to the division headquarters, the military headquarters, the Second Collective Army, and the Military Commission at 5 o'clock that the independent regiment of the 88th Division had completed the covering task on the 27th and successfully broke through the encirclement, and the troops were being transferred to Hubei."

Fang Min took out a pen and made a note.

"Regiment commander, do you want the troops to mention the losses." Fang Min said.

"Don't mention it, if they ask, they will say that they have suffered heavy losses and urgently need to rest and resupply." Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "If the superior unit proposes a new task, you will notify me again." ”

"Yes!" Fang Min got up and saluted Chen Fei and left.

Chen Fei looked at his watch and said, "Ding San, the troops are moving, Zhao Dadao should find a campsite." ”

The Independence Regiment began to march towards the camp.
