The three battalions of the new 200th Regiment were transferred to friendly positions downstream early on, and they only waited for the specified time to start crossing the river at the first order.

More than 2,000 people were squeezed into the traffic trenches one by one, and Zhou Dalei and I, together with his adjutant Hou Yong, formed a temporary command post and waited for the order to attack.

"Brother-in-law, battalion commander, tell me what's going on? Isn't tomorrow the day of marriage? What does Xiao Tao mean when he says that he has already had a wedding? Tan Weimin squeezed over.

"You took the word brother-in-law, this is the army, what do you call it like that!"

"Isn't this an outsider? When did I call your brother-in-law in front of the soldiers? ”

Ani held the sniper rifle, shrunk into the cotton coat and said, "Brother An, I found a problem, the fake foreign devil has been very close to you recently, and I feel that I want to ask you for something." ”

Ani said this, I really remember that when I was clear about my fiancée relationship with Tan Qinrou in the past, this Tan Weimin also had a lukewarm attitude towards me, and he was really unusually affectionate recently.

Just like this, calling the battalion commander's brother-in-law may not be anything in the eyes of others, but for Tan Weimin, this is already a way to show full closeness.

"Yes, Platoon Commander Tan, do you have something to tell me? If you have something to say, don't hide it! ”

"What can I do, it's okay......"

"If it's okay, go to your replenishment platoon and take care of your fifty people! Don't cross the river, be scared again! ”

"If you want to say this, then I'll have something!"

Ani smiled: "Fake foreign devil, I finally can't help it, and I show the fox's tail." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter? There's still an hour to tell you, that's enough, right? Don't talk about it now, if you want to talk about it again, go to the West Bank! ”

"I've been in the new 200 regiment for half a year, how can I say that I'm a veteran, why do you still let me take dozens of supplementary platoons that can only dig and work? What can I do if I take them across the river! ”

"What's the top? If it's useful, don't you have to dig trenches when you get to the West Bank? ”

Ani teased Tan Weimin and said, "A half-year veteran, you are also a half-year veteran who has never been on the battlefield." ”

If other Qiu Ba made fun of Tan Weimin like this, Tan Weimin would have been anxious a long time ago, but he just had no temper with Ani, the so-called brine and tofu were one thing and one thing.

Zhou Dalei had seen Tan Weimin's machine gun training, and he was very appreciative of Tan Weimin's machine gun, at this time he saw that Tan Weimin was too embarrassed, so he said: "Anzi, otherwise, you will arrange him in the main company when you cross the river this time, and it is indeed a bit of a waste for him to always stay in the supplementary platoon." ”

Zhou Dalei's words were like a long drought and a rain for Tan Weimin, his whole person looked much more energetic, and he said in a loud voice: "Chief Zhou, thank you, speak up!" ”

Ani sneered and leaned back and said: "Fake foreign devils, you are stupid to read too much books, and all righteous words are here, you are singing in our play." ”

I said in my heart that it wasn't that I didn't want to cheat for personal gain, I also wanted to keep Tan Weimin away from guns and bullets as much as possible, and specially arranged him to a supplementary platoon. Although the supplementary platoon is not taken seriously, because it does not belong to the combat unit, the chances of saving life are much greater than that of the combat unit.

But in this way, I had no choice, so I had to echo Zhou Dalei's words and said, "Okay, you can follow the battalion guard platoon for the time being." ”

"Guard platoon? Why didn't you let me go to the front line? ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I didn't want to explain anything about this kind of nerd, I closed my eyes and pretended to take a nap.

Arnie: "Fake foreign devil, what's wrong with the guard platoon?" The guard platoon is responsible for the security of the battalion headquarters, which is the most important task! Not satisfied! ”

"Responsible for the security of the battalion headquarters and can't go to the battlefield......" Although he is not very satisfied, for him, it is better than doing nothing in the supplementary platoon, Tan Weimin went to the guard platoon to report stupidly.

I will arrange for someone to take care of the supplementary platoon, don't underestimate the supplementary platoon, these more than 50 people are all experienced farmers, and the efficiency of digging trenches and repairing positions is absolutely outstanding, and one of them can top ten Tan Weimin in this regard.

Originally, if the operation of crossing the river had not been so urgent, the wartime supplementary platoon should have been increased to about 150 people, but the current number is far from enough.

By this time, the radio had already resumed communication, and the regimental headquarters sent a telegram asking us, as the second echelon, to follow up as soon as the second battalion was over. If the 2nd Battalion is blocked during the river crossing, our 1st Battalion will provide fire cover on the east bank.

Three o'clock in the morning is the coldest time of winter, especially along the river, and the temperature is even cooler than elsewhere. The people of the second battalion were already crowded with the tidal flats, and all kinds of equipment for crossing the river were also ready, just waiting for an order.

"Up!" Zhang Da, the commander of the second battalion, waved his hand, and everyone remained silent, quietly boarding the river-crossing equipment, and one after another bamboo rafts and rubber boats and wooden boats sailed to the opposite shore one after another.

There was no movement on the other side, and there was only the sound of wood pulp paddling in the Nu River, and there was no other sound. We nervously lay in the trenches and watched the second battalion carry batches of people across the Nu River.

The vanguard of the 2nd Battalion had already set up simple defensive positions on the opposite bank to cover the follow-up troops to continue crossing the river. Everything is surprisingly smooth, compared to the last time Geng Huaiqi crossed the river, it was simply heaven and earth. The last time it was a hail of bullets and heavy losses, this time it was as simple and casual as returning to your own home.

Zhou Dalei: "Anzi, the devil has no defense at all, what's going on?" ”

I pondered, "It seems that our plan to cross the river has done a good job of secrecy, and in addition, the silence of the radio station has also played a key role. ”

In fact, I am only half right, even if the Japanese army knows that we are going to cross the river, it will be difficult for them to divide their troops to fight and block the attack. Their limited forces, in addition to being scattered in some fortresses for necessary defense, are also a main force that blocked the 17th Division in Baijiazhai.

The whole regiment crossed the river one after another, and the great battle we were preparing for never happened.

Huang Wenlie held an impromptu pre-battle meeting in the West Bank.

"The second battalion continues to advance in the direction of Baijiazhai, Battalion Commander Zhang, you'd better find a few guides, it's easy to get lost in this big mountain."

"Commander, we have a map, do we need to find a guide?"

"A map and a guide are two different things, and having a guide can save you a lot of wrongful paths."

"Yes!"

"Commander of the 1st Battalion, your battalion will make a detour from Teng County, and when the 2nd Battalion and the Japanese exchange fire, you will immediately launch an attack on the flank of the Japanese army!"

I glanced at the map and said, "It's about half a day's journey from Fuji County, and this is still without encountering the Japanese army." Battalion Commander Zhang walked in a straight line, and the time they arrived at Baijiazhai would be at least an hour faster than ours! So, I mean, the second battalion and the Japanese exchanged fire, and we may not have reached the predetermined position yet......"

Wang Tingyue had been watching from the sidelines, and at this time he spoke: "Camp Chief An's reminder is very timely, and I was thinking about this issue just now. Wen Lie, otherwise, the second battalion can be pulled out again in an hour, so that the time of the two sides can be basically the same! ”
