More than 200 people hidden under the soil slope of the Yellow River's old road gave their horses a chew, listened to the surrounding movements, and in anxiety and restlessness, Yang Xiaoshi returned;

"Commander, it's okay, the patrol of the Japanese devils has just left." Yang Xiaoshi said,

"Quick, swift pass, take care of the horses." He Jianye ordered,

Finally passing through the old road of the Yellow River, the nervous He Jianye began to sweat on his forehead......

"It is about 1.5 kilometers from here to the Xuhuai Highway, and there are small roads with dense water networks along the road, which is more difficult to walk, but the advantage is that there are no Japanese patrols." The scouts sent back by Yang Xiaoshi were reporting road conditions,

"Well, you guys pay attention to the highway and ask Yang Xiaoshi to bring people back to change equipment." He Jianye said,

"Let's go."

With a large number of heavy teams set off again, along the way the personnel silently crossed the Xuhuai Highway, at 2 o'clock in the morning on May 22, the team arrived in the southeast of Su County......

"Commander, should we rest, the continuous rapid march, the brothers are all right, but the wounded and those nurses are not!" Zeng Da suggested,

"No! Walk more in the evening, try to pass through the concentration area of the Japanese army in Xuzhou tonight, and you must pass through Fuliji tonight. He Jianye shook his head and said,

"But the nurses and the wounded couldn't walk." Zeng Da said,

"Let the nurses ride their horses, and the wounded are carried by the brothers in turn, and they must ......go," He Jianye ordered,

"The weight of such a horse is too large, and there is no feed, I'm afraid it won't last long?" Zeng Da reminded,

"As long as it allows us to enter the vortex river valley, then we will be close to the vortex sun." He Jianye said,

The team continued to move forward, understanding that the team at the destination tonight could only speed up, and when they were hungry, they took out the multigrain cake on their bodies and nibbled on two bites, mixed with the cold water of the kettle...... Under the strict orders of He Jianye, the team had a reconnaissance company in front of it to open the way to find the best way to go and the section of the road that was not patrolled by the Japanese......

"Commander, the front is the Guanshan next to the Longhai line, it is the nearest mountainous area, and it will be dawn soon, should we go to the mountain first to rest and then go?" Yang Xiaoshi asked,

"Guanshan is still more than 4 kilometers away from the Longhai line, or too far, let's go to Jiaoshan to rest." He Jianye gritted his teeth and ordered,

"But, regiment leader, there are still 3 kilometers to Jiaoshan, and if you look at the form of this team, I'm afraid that many people will fall before dawn." Yang Xiaoshi said worriedly,

"Alright! Then we will go into Guanshan and rest there. Inform down. He Jianye said,

"Work hard, there is Guanshan in front, and we will rest there." Zeng Da began to whisper around the team to cheer everyone on......

After the team arrived at Guanshan, the advantage was that this line belonged to the Longhai line, and the national army had built positions on the mountains on this line in order to prevent the Japanese from sabotaging the railway, so the trenches or other bunkers were still easy to find, and there was no need to bother too much, and the stopped team immediately unloaded the supplies from the horses, and began to make fires to boil water and cook......

If the fire is not lit before dawn, the smoke will be visible to the Japanese for miles, and the most feared thing during the day is not the fire, but the smoke......

The guard company and the reconnaissance company, as a team composed of veterans who had stayed in He Jianye himself, were still very experienced in surviving in the wild......

Beside the fire in the trench, piles of people gathered around, and fell asleep on the ground by the heat of the fire......

He Jianye arranged for the sentries and informed everyone to take turns to change the guard and rest, and then he also fell asleep.......

He Jianye, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by Yang Xiaoshi,

"What's wrong? Is there a situation? He Jianye, who opened his eyes, asked,

"Come and see! I'm afraid we won't be able to walk during the day today. Yang Xiaoshi said,

He Jianye followed Yang Xiaoshi down Guanshan and came to the side of the Longhai line, looking through the binoculars, the Longhai line was full of trains, full of Japanese troops and weapons to assemble in the direction of Suxian, the village next to the Longhai line was on fire, and the Japanese were burning, killing and looting......

"Map," He Jianye said,

Yang Xiaoshi paved the map on the ground, He Jianye looked at the logo of the map, the weakness of the military map of the Republic of China was revealed, there was no subtle road marking, except for roads and railways, the paths along the way only had to rely on themselves to find ......

"3 kilometers ahead of here is Jiaoshan, you send someone to take a look, can we go to Jiaoshan through this section of the road during the day?" He Jianye said,

"I have already sent a brother to see it, and the brother who just came back said that the village below Jiaoshan has just been surrounded by Japanese devils, and it is estimated that it will be enough to choke during the day today." Yang Xiaoshi said,

"I'll go and see it in the afternoon, the Japanese are gone, we will go to Jiaoshan this afternoon, and strive to reach the Huhe River this evening, as long as we reach the Huhe River." He Jianye said,

"Commander, from Jiaoshan to Huhe, the nearest road is nearly 60 kilometers! The brothers are tired, isn't it difficult to achieve this goal? Yang Xiaoshi said,

"When I returned, I organized the brothers to kill a horse, nourish everyone, fry all the rice in horse oil, and take it with them, and make horse meat cakes with white flour and distribute them to the wounded and nurses." He Jianye ordered,

"But in that case, we won't be able to carry our stuff even more." Yang Xiaoshi said,

"Throw, bring only guns, ammunition and medicines; I don't bring any messy things, like iron pots or anything like that. Try to increase the speed of your march. He Jianye gritted his teeth and ordered,

"Yes, Captain." After Yang Xiaoshi answered, he returned to Guanshan with He Jianye.

At 12 noon, most of the brothers woke up from their sleep, and many of them were no longer without multigrain cakes, and the smell of horse broth was simply delicious......

After lunch, Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi began to distribute fried rice, and He Jianye led two brothers to carry two boxes of meatloaf towards the area of the wounded and nurses......

"Brothers, you all know that our supplies are so much, three catties of fried rice for each brother, and this is the last food we have when we return to Wuyang." Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi talked to the brothers while distributing and saving food......

"I'm sorry, we don't even have a way to guarantee you now, this is the last horse meat patty made of white flour, half a pound weighs one, two of you each; Take it. He Jianye distributed meatloaf to the wounded one by one......

"Doctor Tian, it's yours, here you go!" He Jianye said,

"Aren't they both? How can you give me an extra one? Dr. Tian was surprised,

"You doctors are fortunate, give me one more so that you can take care of the brothers, and then I guess you will be busy." He Jianye said,

"Come, yours." He Jianye distributed the meatloaf one by one......

In the end, there were 5 meatloafs left, two of which were of his own, and three of which belonged to Zhu Ying, He Jianye took the meatloaf and walked towards Zhu Ying......

This girl, since she was rescued, she has become unable to figure it out, and she doesn't talk back to He Jianye anymore, she just looks at the sky in a daze when she has nothing to do......

"Come, Dr. Zhu, your share of meatloaf." He Jianye handed over three meatloafs,

The fragrant meatloaf was still hot, but Zhu Ying didn't seem to feel it, still looking at the sky......

"What's wrong? Not enough! Add two more to you, so you have the dry food for the next two days. He Jianye gritted his teeth and gave Zhu Ying his share......
