Chapter 54: The Fierce Battle of Yishui (4)
"Be careful, don't light torches, in case you attract Japanese shelling, it will be over." He Jianye commanded,
He Jianye led the guard company to cross the river through the icy water, the baggage company on the bank with rickshaw carts ready to accept the goods, and the engineer company fixed the rope next to the bridge and began to put wooden rafts and boats on the opposite bank......
At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, all the men of the guard company and the engineer company crossed the river, He Jianye silently dried his feet, put down his pants, and waited for the arrival of supplies and medical teams in the icy river breeze with his bare feet and shoes......
"Is it from the Sixteenth Regiment?" Just after 12 o'clock and less than 10 minutes, a voice shouted from the grass by the river,
He Jianye motioned for Zeng Da to go to the joint, and ten minutes later, Zeng Da came back.
"The regiment commander, who is a brother of the 18th regiment, said that the materials and personnel are 800 meters behind, and they have begun to come here, let us prepare more board trucks, and say that there are a lot of materials."
"Well, it's easy to transport across the river." He Jianye said,
About 10 minutes later, He Jianye looked through the bushes by the river, as if he saw a team of mules and horses with torches coming from the opposite side, the neighing and snorting of mules and horses were so obvious in the silent night, He Jianye frowned, looked at the sky worriedly, and kept praying in his heart, "Don't attract the artillery bombardment of devils!" ”
Seeing that the team was about to reach the river, He Jianye ran over and shouted, "The torches have been extinguished, this place is not far from the Imada detachment, and it is completely within the range of the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army." ”
Hearing the shouts, the team immediately extinguished the torches and headed towards the river beach......
"All go up and help." He Jianye ordered the guard company and the engineer company,
"Commander He, your sixteenth regiment fought well on the north bank of Yishui during the day, I was ordered by the division commander to transfer supplies and doctors, this is Doctor Tian of the medical team, the others are nurses, originally there were only 6 people in the medical team this time, Miss Zhu Ying came to support voluntarily, so you have an extra surgeon." The staff officer of the division headquarters said,
"Ahh Staff Officer Li, thank you! What kind of supplies are there! He Jianye asked,
"Here's the list, and your family brought you something, so I don't know what it is. Your family has also sent for you. Everything is in the convoy, you send someone to unload it! I also have to take people and chariots and horses back to the division headquarters to restore my life! Staff Officer Li said,
"Okay, Staff Officer Li has worked hard. Zeng Da, hurry up and arrange someone to unload the goods. He Jianye said,
"Second Young Master" a man driving mules and horses next to him suddenly shouted,
"Huh?" He Jianye didn't seem to know him in the night,
"Second young master, I am a buddy in the family. The last two carts of things were specially sent to you by the eldest young master; The seals are still there. Here's the list. In addition, the family brought you a letter. After the guy finished speaking, he took off a burden from his back and handed it to He Jianye,
"Second young master, you have to take care more; The eldest young master asked me to tell you that he is in everything in the family, so that you can rest assured. Are the ladies waiting for you to go back? Second Young Master, I want to return with the logistics troops of the Third Division, and then I have to go all the way back to Qingjiang. Do you have anything to say home? The guy asked,
"Hey!" He Jianye said a thousand words, but he didn't know what to say,
"Tell my eldest brother and mother to take care of themselves! Let the ladies take care of the children! I didn't die that easily. He Jianye said,
With the combined efforts of the guard company and the engineer company, the supplies were quickly moved to the river beach on one side......
"It's all light, it's not medicine and medical equipment! It's ammunition. Be careful...... "Zeng Da commanded the personnel to carry it on the side,
The things brought by the family were only four large wooden boxes, which were carefully unloaded by the people, and while talking, time passed quickly, and the logistics and men of the division headquarters took advantage of the darkness to go away......
He Jianye looked at the materials piled up into a hill, and said with a wry smile, "Tell everyone to be careful, the medicine is moved to the ship, the ammunition is tied on the wooden raft, and it is transported to the shore." ”
"Commander, your personal belongings, do you see whether they are transported by small boat or by wooden raft! Wooden rafts are susceptible to moisture! Zeng Da asked,
"Well, ship it! There's nothing wrong with being careful. He Jianye said,
"Yes," Zeng Da went to arrange.
At 4 o'clock in the evening, there was only one last trip left, He Jianye said to several members of the medical team,
"I'm sorry, we built an underwater pontoon bridge, and it took a few people to cross the water with us." After He Jianye finished speaking, he lit up his bare legs and feet,
"Captain He, it's okay for a few of us old men to go into the water. But what about Dr. Chu and the two female nurses? Dr. Tian asked,
"Well, why don't you wait for the next boat to come?" He Jianye asked,
"It's not too early, and we have to take advantage of the night to transport supplies to your station, too late?" Dr. Tian asked,
"No need, He Jianye, wouldn't it be good if you arranged for someone to carry a few of us girls across the river? That's so much. Zhu Ying spoke beside him,
"Hey! All right! He Jianye shook his head and said,
"Zeng Da, find a few brothers who are big and know how to carry them across the river." He Jianye commanded,
"Yes" Zeng Da went to arrange,
Seeing that the guard company and the engineer company had crossed the river from the water, Zeng came over with a wry smile and reported,
"Commander, there is a problem with Dr. Zhu, I have arranged several people, and Dr. Zhu is not satisfied and refuses to cross the river."
"Hey! This chick, what's wrong with her, I'll take a look. He Jianye came to Zhu Ying's side and said to Zhu Ying,
"Doctor Zhu, it's time for us to cross the river." He Jianye said,
"Good! I'll go with you. Zhu Ying said,
He Jianye shook his head, it seems that he is going to be a pack horse today.
On the pontoon, He Jianye carried Zhu Ying on his back and slowly waded through the cold river, holding the rope next to him to move forward......
Finally arrived at the riverbank, He Jianye put down Zhu Ying, wiped the water on his legs with his clothes, and said,
"Xie Yong, take a group of supplies and medical teams back to the regiment headquarters first, and inform the transportation chain Li Zhenlin to bring people with him, and strive to transfer all the materials to the underground bunker before dawn. Zeng Da led the guards to escort them along the way, and also helped to change hands, leaving me 10 people to guard the supplies. The engineer company also transported the supplies back to the regiment headquarters together, and first sent back all the medical equipment and medicines, but our wounded brothers were still struggling in pain. ”
"Yes," several company commanders busily went to arrange,
He Jianye, who put on his shoes, chopped off his foot and recovered the numb soles of his feet from ice......
Taking advantage of the dark night, there was no one around, He Jianye threw pork, beef, chickens and ducks and other meats on the ammunition box, seeing that it was almost 500 pounds, He Jianye was afraid that it would be difficult to transport too much, so he stopped......
At 6 o'clock in the morning, when the sky was bright, He Jianye returned to the regiment headquarters with the last batch of supplies with the large army.
As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, He Jianye immediately asked, "Deputy Regiment Commander Xia, has Leng Qi dug the bunker?" Are our wounded soldiers being treated now? ”
"Commander, the digging has been dug up, and the supplies and medical team have been stationed in the bunker. Two doctors from the medical team are already operating on our seriously injured people. It's still busy. Deputy Head Xia said,
"There was some meat in the last batch of supplies, and the people in the cooking squad were asked to make the broth to ensure the nutrition of the wounded soldiers and doctors and nurses; It's okay for us to eat multigrain cakes, but we must take care of the wounded soldiers, doctors, and nurses. Do you understand? He Jianye advised,
"Yes, Commander; The brethren will not have an opinion. I'll arrange it myself!" Deputy Regiment Commander Xia immediately left the headquarters.
