Chapter 22: The Sword Goes Sideways

On the first day of July, the long-awaited rain finally came, and in the evening the sky began to rain lightly, and there was a strong wind, and the hicchurls, who were fed up with the stuffy heat, shouted for joy and prayed for more rain. Heaven seemed to have heard these prayers, and at night the rain suddenly increased, and the wind was much stronger than during the day, and for a while, the rain took advantage of the wind, and the whole bank of the Nu River was plunged into a storm.

Edamame and some of the hiccups were naked, happily bathing in the natural shower in the heavy rain. Because of the drought and lack of water a while ago, each squad took out all kinds of utensils to receive rainwater for storage, but we soon found out that such behavior was purely redundant. Because in the next few days, the rain did not weaken in the slightest, and even the Nu River swelled because of the continuous rain, and the water level once flooded the broken Qingyundu bridge deck.

Duan Biao and a platoon commander were comparing their wrist strength, and I looked idly at the torrential rain outside that seemed to be unstoppable: "If this rain is like this, I estimate that in a few days, I can really see the real dragon in Longwan." ”

Duan Biao shouted loudly and knocked down the platoon commander, he shook his wrist loosely and walked over slowly: "The locals in Linmeng said that it is now the rainy season, and there have been cases of such rain not stopping for a month." ”

"If that's really bad, the cars of the transport battalion are lying on their stomachs, and our regiment will run out of food in a few days." I didn't worry about something that seemed to be worried.

Duan Biao was a little worried: "Don't talk about seeing Longwan, I'm afraid the supply of materials on the entire east coast will become a problem." ”

Compared with a few years ago, our equipment today is not only a little bit stronger, not only in terms of weapon configuration, but also in other related equipment. Special units such as the search company engineer battalion are now all German and American weapons, and the former mule and horse cart transport battalions have also been replaced with shotguns and turned into real motor transport battalions.

Under normal road conditions, the car can indeed improve the efficiency of transportation, and because it is more agile than the mule-horse cart, it is also easier to evade the Japanese air raid. But now it is different, the rain has caused many serious damage to the improvised road into Linmeng, the car has become impassable, and the mule and horse carts are not well prepared, in fact, after several rollover accidents, the supply of supplies to Linmeng has been forced to be suspended.

I took some rainwater, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and said while wiping my face: "So this is a handsome person, and the words "strategizing" are really not arbitrary, and he doesn't know anything about astronomy and geography, or he simply ignores it, and in the end it's such a mess!" ”

Duan Biao: "The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, what kind of astronomy and geography, you should be Zhuge Liang when everyone is Zhuge Liang, if the leaders are so powerful, we won't be competing with devils here today!" ”

I stretched out my thumb (Peking Opera accent): "General Duan's words are very true!" Speaking of Zhuge Kongming, listen to me slowly! …… I am a loose person in Wollongong, on yin and yang such as Baoding Qiankun, the first emperor went down to Nanyang to drive three times, and Liandong Wu destroyed Cao Wei Ding for three points......"

Duan Biao pouted: "What are you singing, your chick's voice is like laying eggs, it's too ugly." ”

"I don't know it, if this is in our opera garden in Beiping, if you want to listen to this paragraph, you have to at least have a piece of the ocean, and you have to pay for the melon seeds, tea, and towel board." I ignored him and continued my Sippy stream.

"Camp Commander An, the regiment commander invites you over." The herald ran in and said.

Duan Biao gloated: "Yes, hurry up, go to the command post and sing, the head of the regiment can reward you with a big mouth." ”

"The rain doesn't stop even on days! ......" I got up to get my hat, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, and I called to the herald: "Wait a minute! You said the head of the regiment invited me over? ”

"Yes, sir."

"What did the regiment commander say?"

"The regiment commander said to ask the battalion commander to come over."

"Alright, it's okay."

Duan Biao: "What's wrong, Anzi, what are you talking about today......

"Didn't you hear from the herald, the regimental commander invited me over! Why don't I think this sign is a good sign......"

Duan Biao glared at me: "What's the matter, people are polite to you, and they are polite to come out?" Anzi, I've heard the ambulance soldier say that symptoms like yours are a disease in foreign countries, so what is it called...... Oh, persecution. ”

Me: "! You're sick. ”

I stepped on the muddy water with my hat, ran into Huang Wenlie's command post with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and almost bumped into Huang Wenlie, who was impatient, as soon as I entered the door.

He said with a cold face, "The heralds have been back for ten minutes!" Aren't you two walking the same path? ”

I hung the hat on the wall: "Tuanza, it's raining outside and the road is slippery, so if you go fast, you will fall." ”

Huang Wenlie didn't talk nonsense with me, he didn't even have half a word of prompt, so he went straight to the point: "The main force of the Japanese army on the west bank is currently mainly concentrated in the fortresses of Longling, Songshan, and Moyunling, and their rear is very empty, and the combined strength of several county towns is no more than 500 people, and the heavy firepower is very small. If we can enter their hinterland and carry out guerrilla tactics in a roundabout way, it will be tantamount to a sharp knife into the heart of the enemy! ”

I was really shocked by him: "The regiment means to send an army into the rear of the enemy army?" ”

Huang Wenlie had the kind of fanaticism on his face that only militants have: "How about this plan? This is only a preliminary idea, the specific details still need to be refined, and it depends on whether Shangfeng can approve this plan! ”

Huang Wenlie's plan sounded good, but in fact it was full of difficulties, first of all, how to break through the Nu River and bypass the Japanese defense line was a huge problem. Even if the Japanese defense line is broken through, and a lone army goes deep into other people's territory, what will happen to the material supply? Out of bullets and fighting bayonets with the Japanese army? Hungry to nibble on tree bark?

I didn't say these words, since Huang Wenlie said such a plan, there must be a countermeasure.

Sure enough, Huang Wenlie had an insightful expression, and he saw my doubts: "I communicated with the US military advisers yesterday, and their planes can completely airdrop the troops to the designated places in batches. People can be airdropped, and food weapons are not a problem. ”

I thought for a moment: "Tuanzuo, as your subordinate, I want to remind you that if you go deep into the tiger's den, you must have the ability to subdue the tiger, with the current combat strength and confidence of our army, who dares to accept this task?" ……”

"We. If the peak approves this plan, I will ask for the new 200 regiment to be the executor of this plan! Huang Wenlie's expression was calm, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

I cursed in my heart, sure enough, it was not good! We had a draw with the Japanese army because of the natural hazards, and if we faced the Japanese army directly, I can imagine what kind of situation we would fall into.

I said in a dead voice: "Since the group has calculated everything, it is just necessary to bring it up to the peak, you tell me...... Actually, it's really not necessary. ”

Huang Wenlie turned to me: "Camp Commander An, your mood really doesn't look high...... Don't... Are you scared? ”

My anger is rising again, this tenacious guy is like that, if you don't stand on his side, he will immediately put you on the opposite side.

"Tuanzuo, I am a soldier in the 26th year of the Republic of China, although there is no merit at all, but there has never been a cowardice! Just because you like to be happy doesn't mean everyone has to be like you, and if everyone in the world is the same, it's easy. So, I can tell you now that I'm not cowardly, I just don't have faith in this plan! ”

When I had finished speaking, I sat down on the stool with a straight face, and then I heard a click, and I knew that something was wrong, and it was too late to get up, and the stool was crushed and torn apart, and I fell heavily to the ground.
