Chapter 83: The Great Retreat (13)

Seeing the soldiers sitting on the ground eating dry food in twos and threes, sometimes drinking cold water, many soldiers stopped after eating a few handfuls of fried rice, packed up their dry food bags, and lay on the ground to rest......

"Zeng Da, why do the brothers eat so much? How can you have the strength to go so far at night if you don't have enough to eat? He Jianye asked,

"Commander, we don't have much dry food, although we distributed two days of dry food to the brothers in Guanshan the day before yesterday, but the consumption on the road was too great, and the brothers ate almost enough, if it wasn't for the replenishment in Youzhuang, I'm afraid many soldiers would be cut off now." Zeng Da said,

"Take out the devil's field rations and distribute them, leave the dry food on the road to deal with it, one for each brother, give me all the food, drink more water, that thing fights hunger, it should be able to pass at night." He Jianye said,

"But if there is one for each fighter, I estimate that there will be less than 100 left. That's our last reserve. There are also wounded and nurses......" Zeng Da said,

"Let the brethren eat and be fed first!" He Jianye said ruthlessly,

"It's not easy for the brothers to follow themselves, they have nothing to eat, they endure it, and they still insist on fighting the devils in hunger and cold, good brothers! I'm going to have to bring them all back! He Jianye secretly made up his mind in his heart,

"Brothers, they've all come to get the field rations of the Japanese devils! Everyone has it, one person and one person, the head of the regiment said, you must eat it, this thing is anti-hunger, you can hold on until tomorrow morning and you won't feel hungry! Today we will also be landlords and taste the rations of the Japanese devils. Haha......" Zeng Da roared and began to take out the lunch boxes of the Japanese soldiers from the sack and hand them out to the brothers......

"Commander, give." Zhu Ying didn't know when she came to He Jianye, who was in a daze,

"Ahh What! He Jianye woke up and looked at the three meatloafs handed over by Zhu Ying,

"You also gave me your rations the day before yesterday, it's not that today I saw you shouting about the devil's rations, I don't know yet, I asked them, and each of them was three. You eat! I still have one from today, this one has been too long, and I can't get used to it. Zhu Ying said incoherently,

"Cut, you little girl, take it and eat it yourself! I'm the head of the regiment, and I'm going to starve myself! He Jianye said to Zhu Ying,

"Eat more, don't go hungry. Come, I'll watch you eat one. He Jianye said to Zhu Ying,

"But ......" Zhu Ying wanted to say,

"Don't be, eat right in front of me, you've lost a lot of weight; After this non-stop march day and night, if you don't eat more, what will you do if you fall down and your wounded brother? He Jianye said,

"Commander, yours." Zeng Da didn't know the current affairs and handed over a devil's rations,

"Haha, look, I said I had something to eat! Here, here you go, open your mouth. He Jianye skillfully opened the lunch box, found out the candy inside, opened the icing and handed it to Zhu Ying......

"Thanks, I'm going back." Zhu Ying blushed and ran away......

"It's so sweet, I haven't eaten candy in a long time." Zhu Ying thought beautifully in her heart,

Time passed slowly, and the brothers all lay down on the ground to rest after they had eaten their fill, but the regimental commander said that he would attack and advance tonight, and it was estimated that the better his physical strength was maintained, the greater the possibility of escaping......

"Zeng Da, to see the situation of the wounded, it is best to ride a horse. One of our horses should be enough for each wounded! He Jianye said,

"Commander, the wounded can go out on their own, there are about 20 people who can't move with minor leg injuries and can't walk on their own, and there are 35 horses, and the capacity is no problem. It's just not known what the condition of the wounded is. I went to ask Dr. Shimoda. After Zeng Da finished speaking, he went to the wounded area......

"Commander, you'd better come and see for yourself......" Zeng Da returned,

"What's wrong again?" He Jianye quickly followed Zeng Da towards the wounded area.......

The last rays of the sunset shone on the grass, and the wounded were lying on stretchers basking in the sun, looking in good spirits, at least He Jianye didn't get anything wrong.......

"Doctor Tian, can they ride their own horses? At night it may be necessary to march quickly all night, and there may be encounters with the enemy; I guess the brothers won't be able to spare their hands to carry them forward. He Jianye asked,

"Regiment Commander, we have run out of medicines, and now the seriously wounded and lightly wounded are recovering well in the past few days. Lightly wounded people are nothing, they move on horseback, as long as the horses don't run, it's okay, but seriously injured, if the wound is in danger once it bursts, it's okay to stitch up the wound again, it's just afraid of infection, you know that our anti-inflammatory drugs have been in short supply. Dr. Tian said,

"Let's talk about that when that happens! The front is all villages and towns, there are basically no mountains for us to hide and rest, we must reach the Huhe River at night, we must cross the Hun River at dawn tomorrow, so that we will enter the vortex river basin and be very close to the vortex sun, we will basically be safe. If we can't reach the Huhe River tonight, a large number of troops of the 10th Division will be assembled in this area to attack Wuyang, and once entangled, we will be the end of the total annihilation. He Jianye shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"Commander, you are being irresponsible to the wounded, what is the difference between that and sending them to death?" Dr. Tian said,

"Don't worry, if we successfully reach Vortex Yang, there are wounded people who need to be re-operated, and I will find a way to take anti-inflammatory drugs." He Jianye said to Dr. Tian,

He Jianye slowly turned around, adjusted his mood to the wounded, and said slowly,

"Brothers, we have reached the point of life and death, if you can, think more for the brothers, let them maintain their physical strength, we will attack and advance at night, if we are lucky, we will not encounter the enemy, we will also travel more than 60 kilometers, what is the concept? That's 5 kilometers per hour. Until dawn. We promised that we would take you back to Vortex, then I would definitely take you back, and you should believe that I could get anti-inflammatory drugs for you, but if it really doesn't work, I won't force you, I will still carry you forward. How do you choose? He Jianye looked at the wounded with both eyes,

"Commander, you don't need to say it; I can do it, and I promise not to be left behind. It turns out that I have been a cavalry scout, and I must be no slower on my horse than you. The head of the regiment is reassured. "A brother with a bandage on his chest and abdomen sat up and said,

"Don't worry, Commander, we can do it!" All the wounded shouted en masse,

"Thank you!" After He Jianye finished speaking, he gave a standard military salute to all the wounded...... After a few minutes, it slowly put it down;

"Brethren, those who can ride on war horses, and those who cannot ride on pack horses; We rode as many horses as we could, there were only ten pack horses, and we had eight doctors and nurses to move forward on pack horses. Please! After He Jianye finished speaking, he turned his head and left, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were clearly visible......

"Are you ready, brethren? We will teach the little devils how to be human beings tonight, and let them know that the masters of our third division are here to come and leave if they want. At half past five in the afternoon, the fog had slowly risen, and He Jianye watched the sky darken and began to cheer up the brothers.......

"The guard company is ready, the regiment commander, you give the order!" Zeng Da replied with a salute,

"The reconnaissance company is ready, please ask the regiment commander to issue a combat mission!" Yang Xiaoshi said with a blushing face,

"The wounded and the nurses are ready to go!" Dr. Tian sat on the pack horse and said,

"Okay, brothers, whether you can go back to Vortex Yang depends on the trembling at night, Zeng Da, leave a platoon to follow the wounded. 300 meters behind the main force, the reconnaissance company, the front opened the way. The guard company comes with me, let's go home! He Jianye shouted,

"Go home! Go home! Go home! The brethren shouted and formed battle formations and began to advance towards the river.....
