Chapter 374: Night Walking
After receiving the news that the devil did not follow, the brothers of the 16th Regiment collapsed on the ground to rest, running and digging trenches, they were so tired that the horse meat they had eaten in a hurry in the afternoon seemed to have been consumed; Some of the brothers' stomachs began to rumble again.
"Commander, give you the horse meat, take a few bites! It's just cold and smelly! "The old king of the cooking class handed over a black horse leg, which seemed to be stewed whole, and still maintained the basic shape of the horse leg!
"Let's share everything we eat! We basically don't rest at night, if the devil doesn't come to find trouble, we still have more than ten kilometers to walk on the avenue! He Jianye said to Lao Wang,
The horse meat in the afternoon was not eaten much by the brothers, and there was still a lot left in the image, but I don't know if it was brought out? He Jianye did not dare to confirm this question;
"Commander, you eat first! I brought out all the uneaten horse meat in the afternoon, so I gave it to the brothers, and there were plenty of multigrain cakes, enough for everyone to eat and hurry! Lao Wang put the horse's leg in He Jianye's hand, turned his head and walked towards a few big pockets;
The horse meat taken out of the pocket did not look so good, the cold, black, lump of meat smelled fishy, and the few brothers in the cooking class did not carry a bag and distributed it one by one, but no one dared to dislike the hungry brothers, after all, it was meat! Even if it's not tasty, it's better than multigrain cakes, isn't it?
Cold water, cold meat, and hard multigrain cakes, the brothers on the mountain sat on the ground and ate a fragrant food, as if this was a delicacy in the world! Fortunately, the soldiers in this era have better stomachs, and they have to rest in the 21st century, and after eating these things, they are basically diarrhea!
Most of the moon in the sky came out and shook in less than an hour after the night covered the earth, and the moonlight of white flowers sprinkled on the earth, making this war-torn land feel desolate, although it had just entered autumn, the weather was still very hot, but in the eyes of these soldiers could not feel the warmth, every day they thought about how to survive in this cruel battlefield;
When the time for rest finally came, He Jianye stood up and said to the brothers: "Pack up your equipment and get ready to go!" ”
Due to the long march at night, except for the wounded who could advance on horseback, all the remaining horses were used to carry machine guns and ammunition, and as for the rifles, they had to march on their backs......
"Commander, there are still a lot of horses, you can ride a horse!" Leng Qi looked at He Jianye's gradually thin face and said,
"No, for those who are in poor health! Let the officers all keep an eye on the point, and each company will get a point! He Jianye refused, in this kind of retreat that will encounter devils at any time, if the officer can't take the lead in setting an example, I'm afraid that a retreat will turn into a rout, which is exactly what He Jianye is worried about;
led the horses up the avenue, and by the light of the moon, the procession began to move slowly towards the south; Under He Jianye's example, the officers gave up the opportunity to ride the war horses and left the horses to the soldiers who were not physically strong, and the whole queue showed an eerie tranquility, even the wounded soldiers were holding on along the tooth pass, and the horses were chewed to prevent the neighing of the horses from attracting devils......
"Whoa!" The sound of pulling the bolt of the gun was so obvious in the dark night, and the brothers of the reconnaissance company led by Yang Xiaoshi were still in charge of moving forward to explore the road, and when they felt that there were people on the side of the road, several brothers immediately knelt on the ground, and pointed their guns at the weeds on both sides of the avenue......
"Who? Come out! Yang Xiaoshi's voice sounded,
"If you don't come out again, you'll shoot!" The cold voice did not carry a trace of emotion, and let Ran have no doubt about his words;
"Don't, don't shoot!"
The sound of Suo Suo sounded in the grass, and more than a dozen soldiers in tattered military uniforms came out, and the faces of the black men and the Hanyang Zao in their hands officially showed that they seemed to be their own people! However, Yang Xiaoshi didn't dare to take it lightly, and gave the order softly!
"Raise the gun above your head, slowly come out, and crouch on the ground!" Yang Xiaoshi didn't dare to confirm that this was his own person, after all, traitors who were willing to give their lives to the devil were not young or old, especially on the way to the devil's advance!
"Sir, we are our own people! I am from the 64th Army, and the brothers next to me are from the Fourth Army, as well as from the Ninth Division; Pulled down on the way to retreat! A veteran looked at the muzzle of the black hole and explained,
"Li Qiang, go back and report to the head of the regiment! I'm here to watch them! Yang Xiaoshi stared at the more than ten defeated soldiers in front of him, and the rifle in his hand was in a state of being ready to fire at any time!
"What's the situation?" Soon, He Jianye rushed up from behind, looked at the more than ten routs squatting on the ground and asked,
"Commander, they said they were pulled down during the retreat, I can't confirm it!" Yang Xiaoshi reported,
"You're from that unit? How is it here? Who is the chief? He Jianye frowned and asked,
"Sir, I am from the 155th Division of the 64th Army, one of my fellow was seriously injured during the retreat today, I stayed to take care of him and wanted to wait for him to get better before going on the road to chase the troops, but he didn't survive." The veteran who took the lead replied,
"He is a merciful man who stays for the sake of his brother! What about a few of you? He Jianye asked,
"Sir, I'm from the Fourth Army...... I'm from the Pre-Ninth Division...... I'm ......" The chaotic voice kept ringing out, making He Jianye's head dazed, and now he can't confirm whether what they said is true.
"Put away their guns and let them follow the group!" He Jianye gave the order,
"Yes, Captain!" Yang Xiaoshi waved his hand and asked the two brothers to come forward to search their bodies, and when the large army came, they put the guns and ammunition on their horses, sandwiched them in the middle and continued to move forward, and the surrounding brothers paid attention to these routs who had temporarily joined the ranks from time to time;
"Regiment commander, it's been almost two hours of walking, and I'm afraid the wounded won't be able to hold on; Isn't it time to stop and take a break! Leng Qi chased up from behind and reported,
"Well, let Yang Xiaoshi find a place to rest in front of you, it's too dangerous to rest on the avenue!" Zeng Da next to He Jianye's order,
Zeng Da ran forward with his two brothers, chased Yang Xiaoshi who came out, and conveyed the order of the team battle!
At half past one o'clock in the morning of September 4th, the steaming procession finally stopped in a col, unloaded the equipment from the horses, fed them with water and fodder, and the brethren began to rest on the spot, and the officers began to talk one by one with the more than 100 defeated soldiers who had joined the ranks along the way, to see if it was possible for the traitors to emerge on their own;
Perhaps it was because these people were really defeated, and after an hour's rest, the team set off again, and these routed soldiers still did not get rid of suspicion, and continued to move forward in the ranks......
"Phew, the road is finally finished, and the path must be diverted here, let the brothers rest for half an hour, and then prepare to enter the mountain!" He Jianye looked at the rolling hills in front of him and gave an order; It was already 4 o'clock in the morning, and there was still less than four kilometers of mountain road to their destination, Niutou Mountain. When you get here, you're basically free from the threat of devils!
