Chapter 70: The Vast Meadow (Rendezvous)

Four days.

It was already the fourth day since the third regiment entered the meadow, and the soldiers had long lost their initial excitement, and Pippi walked sloppily, with dark circles under their eyes and messy steps.

Recently, the soldiers have been resting very badly, and everyone still underestimated the reactionary herdsmen of that group, although they could not compete head-on with the three regiments, but they could use the advantage of the cavalry to harass everyone.

Often, after a day's trek, or preparing to eat or sleep, the reactionary herdsmen who had been recuperating with their horsepower would suddenly appear under the leadership of the animal skin coat.

After some harassment, each party left a few corpses behind and rode away on horseback.

These reactionary herdsmen were far more familiar with the meadow than the Red Army soldiers, and their equestrian skills were even more first-rate, adhering to the principle of flying thousands of miles without a single blow, coming and going like the wind, leaving the soldiers helpless.

But if you ignore it, these cunning enemies will not hesitate to turn their temptation into a real attack if they see that you are not ready to do anything serious.

Therefore, whether everyone is resting, eating, or sleeping, as long as they hear the news of the appearance of the herdsman, they will gather together to fight as soon as possible.

In this way, the animal skin clothes and others naturally did not have such a big appetite to eat the entire three regiments, but the soldiers of the three regiments could not keep the enemy, and over time, it evolved into the continuous harassment of the three regiments by the animal skin clothes and others, which made Lin Dashan and others a headache.

"Captain, these flies are here again!"

Suddenly, a soldier came to report, Lin Dashan was excited, and then led the soldiers to rush out of the camp.

In just ten minutes, the gunfire stopped, the battle was over, Lin Dashan returned to the camp with an iron face, slammed the five-star military hat on the ground, and said angrily: "Damn, these bastards, it's really annoying, when Lao Tzu gets rich, he will also build a strange team, fuck the ......"

"Old Xiao, the plan that Han Xin's kid said still needs the cooperation of the large army, and we don't have enough people...... What do you think? Is there any news from the division headquarters? ”

"Well, we've been camping here for most of the day, and according to the speed of our division, we should be able to arrive tonight." Xiao Xiang nodded.

"Good!" Lin Dashan clapped his hands excitedly, and said viciously: "I heard that the rations distributed by the division department over the grassland are insufficient, and it is estimated that the cooking is about to run out of cooking, this time we will give the division commander a big gift, make a horse meat banquet, and entertain everyone, haha......"

"As for these horse thieves, let them think they are good first."

……

"Boss, are we going to harass a wave tonight?"

A few miles away, the reactionary herdsman was resting, and a herdsman asked gloomily, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, what kind of bandits, it's just that!

The animal skin coat nodded, quite a little ambitious, "Go, why don't you go?" These bandits have been trapped here by us for most of the day, and they think they are afraid of us...... Well, let's attack again before it gets dark! If it gets dark, it's not easy for us to act. ”

"But...... Boss, what if reinforcements from the bandits come? A small minion worried.

"Afraid of what? We are cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and with the familiarity of this meadow, even if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, don't want to leave us. The animal skin coat waved his hand disapprovingly, not caring.

"Yes!" The little minion thinks it makes sense, so he doesn't say more.

……

On the other side, at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, a soldier suddenly came to report, good news, "Commander Luo of the 1st Regiment of the Ninth Division has arrived first with most of the men and horses of the brigade headquarters, and the division commander Yu Shengli is expected to lead the men and horses of the division headquarters to arrive in the early morning of the next day." ”

"Let's go, let's pick up someone!" Lin Dashan became excited, and couldn't wait to walk towards the round.

"Lao Luo, Lao Luo, you're finally here......"

"This ...... What the fuck is going on? Lin Dashan was stunned, a little incredulous at what he saw:

Seeing this arriving team, the people are naturally still the team that Lin Dashan is familiar with, but the situation of this soldier is shocking.

All of them were yellow and thin, looking sick, and although some were standing, they were supporting each other with the fighters next to them, as if only in this way could they barely maintain their standing without falling.

Even the regiment leader Lao Luo, the whole person was thinner than what Lin Dashan saw some time ago, and he was very haggard.

"Lao Lin, this, the hardships of this grassland are far beyond everyone's imagination! The weather is changeable, not to mention the cold and hot for a while, and the grass is so big that you can't even see a fart...... Everyone hasn't eaten for a whole day. ”

"No, didn't every unit divide the food before we went into the meadow?" Lin Dashan's eyes widened in surprise, this is not right, although the brothers of Lao Tzu's three regiments have a hard time, they still have something to eat!

"Grain, don't mention food! You don't know that the troops are short of food, and everyone has been allocated rations for three or four days, and some regiments have even received only two days' rations......

This meadow march, everyone doesn't eat much and can't walk, the food has long been gone, if it weren't for everyone digging around digging some wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to hold on. Lao Luo sighed.

"How so...... Well, let's not talk about it yet! ”

Lin Dashan only heard this shocking news, and then said to Zhao Zhuang, the commander of the third battalion behind him: "Third battalion commander, let the soldiers give all the dry food that they can eat directly to the comrades of the first regiment first, and let them pad their ......stomachs first."

"Yes!"

"Lao Lin, Lao Lin, this can't be ......" Lao Luo hurriedly refused, once the rations of this army were issued, it would be everyone's share, and there was no obligation to take care of others at all.

Lin Dashan looked at the miserable appearance of his old comrades-in-arms, pursed his lips, and said to the soldiers in the group on the side with a sneer: "See, this is the tragedy of the regiment commander's inadequacy, if you follow Lao Tzu, don't say anything else, we will never be wronged."

You captains, you're a fucking ......."

"Lin Dashan!"

Lao Luo stared at the old man, and said angrily: "You dare to ruin Lao Tzu's reputation on a dog day...... Tell you, you've scolded too, if you can't get something to eat, I'll ......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, how can our Lao Lin be the one who talks big! Third battalion commander, what are you still doing in a daze? Divide food for everyone! ”

"Oh!" Zhao Zhuang responded, and did not operate it himself, and ordered: "Comrades, give the rest of your food to the comrades in a group to cushion their stomachs!" ”

"Brother, come, I still have half a barley cake here"

"I still have some barley fried noodles here"

"Take the ......"

The soldiers of the first regiment were a little embarrassed at first, but as the soldiers of the third regiment took out some food, their eyes suddenly straightened, and they were hungry for a day, so they were not polite, and took the dry food and chewed it in small bites.

This is everyone's experience, chewing slowly, can bring everyone a feeling of fullness, thus saving rations.

"Damn, look at you poor people, you all let go of eating, and there will be a big head behind you in a while!"

Lin Dashan shouted, and when he saw that the soldiers in the group didn't pay attention to it, they didn't care, pulled Lao Luo over on the side, snatched the dry food from Lao Luo's hand, and said mysteriously: "Don't eat it yet, Lao Luo, make a game with your brother, and invite everyone to eat meat!" ”

"Eat meat!"

Lao Luo's eyes glared, and a green light appeared, how long has it been, I almost forgot what the meat tasted like, although he was a regiment leader, but the meat was first distributed to the wounded women and children, the wolf had more meat and less meat, and it was not his turn at all.

Suddenly, Lao Luo no longer hesitated and said! "Good! Anyway, what a ......?"
