Chapter 44: An Unexpected Encounter
"Zhang Weidong! Because of your erroneous command in the battle, which led to heavy casualties in the troops, I now remove you from the post of commander of the second company, and all the remaining personnel of your department will be added to the first company under the leadership of Liao Peng, do you have any opinions? Fu Zhiyong looked at Zhang Weidong and shouted loudly.
"Nope! Battalion commander. Zhang Weidong immediately replied loudly, he was convinced of Fu Zhiyong's decision, since it was his own responsibility, then there was nothing to be unconvinced.
"Now you take your soldiers first, hand over the team until it is safe to carry it out, and organize manpower to treat the wounded." After Fu Zhiyong finished speaking, he waved his hand and drove away.
"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Zhang Weidong saluted again and ran to straighten out the team......
Fu Zhiyong and the others waited for nearly half an hour and did not see the medical team, there were more than 40 wounded rescued on the battlefield, most of them were seriously wounded or soldiers who could not walk on their own, and the lightly injured ones had already been filled in the attack just now, as long as they could still fight with guns, none of them were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, so there were so many seriously wounded.
Although the wounded were all gathered, and the stretchers were temporarily prepared for four or five, Fu Zhiyong's heart did not have a sense of relief, because the position they were in now was too dangerous, once the Japanese army surrounded them at this time, then they would not be able to run away with the same number of seriously wounded as they were, so staying for one more minute would increase the danger, but they could not act immediately, after all, there was a medical team behind and many wounded people did not arrive.
"Battalion commander, the medical team has arrived, ......" Just when Fu Zhiyong was restless, a soldier who went to meet the medical team ran back and reported first.
Fu Zhiyong looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, a team of wounded soldiers of the National Army was rushing out of the woods, and the woman walking in front of him with a Mauser military pistol was none other than Lu Fengying, the company commander of the Third Company.
"This ...... Battalion commander, what's going on? As soon as Lu Fengying walked out of the woods, she was startled by the scene in front of her, and hurriedly ran to Fu Zhiyong and asked in shock.
"I'll explain it to you later, quickly gather all your extra manpower to carry the wounded, and carry the non-lethal ones on their backs, hurry up, this place can't stay any longer." As soon as Fu Zhiyong saw Lu Fengying and them arrive, he couldn't help but order her directly.
"Oooh oh...... I see, three-in-a-row! In addition to carrying the wounded, all of them are gathered for the old lady! Hurry over and help save someone. Lu Fengying nodded in agreement, then turned around and shouted at his soldiers.
Soon it was a tense busy work, Bai Yuling and Liu Mei originally wanted to treat the wounds of the wounded here immediately, but they were stopped by Fu Zhiyong gritted his teeth, after all, there had just been a fierce battle here, and there were a large number of Japanese troops surrounding them all around, the most important thing now is to break through first, as for how many injured soldiers will not survive because they can't get treatment in time, it's not something that Fu Zhiyong can take care of, whether they live or die depends on their physical condition and willpower......
Then Fu Zhiyong and they set off again with nearly half of the wounded, but the Japanese army did not send a little extra force to support it at such a point, which made Fu Zhiyong is second monk puzzled, and he didn't know what the commander of the Japanese army was thinking.
Fu Zhiyong and the others were advancing rapidly eastward along the place less than three kilometers north of Jurong County, because the Japanese army on the side of Jurong would not be dispatched again, and there were only some remnants of the defeated generals left, and it was estimated that even the defenders of the city would be obviously insufficient, let alone come out to take the initiative to attack again.
According to the map show, Fu Zhiyong plans to go south directly after passing through Jurong County, looking for villages and towns along the way to treat wounds for the wounded, the Jiangnan region where Nanjing is located is relatively densely populated, large and small villages and towns are densely populated, although they are also within the control of the Japanese army, but there is not half of the devils stationed, after all, the Japanese army in this area was transferred 80,000 people to the north to open up the Tianjin-Pudong railway, and the Japanese troops left behind are limited, so they are mainly to defend important cities and key villages and towns along the way, the geographical location is a little worse or the more remote places are no longer stationed, even the troops that have been sent out have shrunk back, but occasionally send small forces to sweep up, as long as there are no Chinese troops stationed or infiltrated.
"Boom ......" Fu Zhiyong They have been traveling for more than two hours along the way, and the sky is darker because of the clouds, at this time, the roar of the long-standing clouds in the sky has sounded one after another, and the brilliant lightning is dancing wildly in the clouds, indicating that the human rainstorm below is coming......
"Battalion commander, it's going to rain this day, and it's definitely not small." Chen San was holding his Mauser 98K sniper rifle and following Fu Zhiyong at this time, and said to Fu Zhiyong with concern after seeing the lightning in the sky.
"Well, we have so many wounded in our team now, once it rains, it will aggravate their injuries, and maybe how many brothers will not survive at that time...... Hurry up, everyone! It's going to rain......" Fu Zhiyong nodded and said worriedly, and then shouted to the team to speed up the march.
Fu Zhiyong's heart was originally worried that it would rain when he set off, but their raincoats and blankets were more than enough to deal with the original wounded, but now that dozens of wounded soldiers have suddenly been added, this matter is difficult to do.
"Sir Fu, it's going to rain this day, you must immediately find a place to shelter from the rain and cold for the wounded soldiers to be treated, their wounds have not been systematically treated, if they get caught in the rain and cold again, many of them here will die." Oda Namie also trotted to Fu Zhiyong's side at this time, and said urgently.
"Of course I know what you're talking about, but at our current marching pace, it's at least half an hour before we reach the nearest village, and we won't be able to get there in advance." Fu Zhiyong was also very anxious in his heart, but the facts were in front of him, the mountain and forest roads were already difficult to walk, not to mention that it was dark now, and there was no way to light the fire, and the most important thing was that there were still a considerable number of seriously injured people in the team who could not walk on their own, if they could get up quickly, there would be ghosts.
"Battalion commander, I see that we are too late to reach the village, do you want me to send someone to ......" Liao Peng also walked back from the front of the team anxiously at this time to deal with Zhiyong and asked.
At this time, the wound on Liao Peng's body has been simply bandaged, although he didn't have time to suture the wound, but the bleeding has stopped, and after a short period of rest and replenishment of water, this physical strength has also recovered a lot, but the pain is still very bad, and at this time he can only grit his teeth and hold on.
With such weather and terrain, if you reluctantly continue to march in the rain, even if there are no wounded, they will not be able to walk an inch, once the turf in the woods is wet by the rain, it is quite slippery, even if you have to walk carefully on the flat ground to avoid falling down, not to mention this uneven jungle and mountain, you will fall and be injured if you are not careful, and the danger is too great.
"You ...... right away" Fu Zhiyong was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sudden shout.
"Someone!" "Who? Don't move! "If you move again, I'll shoot......" "Click...... ......"I don't know who first discovered the anomaly, the two squads of soldiers guarding along the way quickly loaded their bullets, picked up their guns and shouted together, the muzzles of the guns were pointed at a forest on the left side of the team, and they were nervously guarded.
"Be on guard! So spread out and take care of the concealment! Fu Zhiyong was startled by this chaotic shout, and immediately quickly pulled out the Mauser military pistol on his waist and ordered loudly.
"Don't shoot...... Don't shoot! We are Chinese, not devils. Someone in the woods suddenly replied in a loud voice.
"Walk out slowly! Don't play tricks......" Fu Zhiyong said while raising his gun on guard, and touched Liao Peng with his arm, signaling him to take a few soldiers to go around quietly, in case the other party played any tricks, and reminded him that if he found someone in ambush, he must not shoot until he found out the situation, let alone kill people, otherwise the next thing would be difficult to do.
Liao Peng nodded understandingly, and soon quietly gathered three soldiers, and led them lightly from the side, because the sky was dark and abnormal, and the formation of their team was also relatively chaotic, so their actions were not noticed by the people opposite.
Because the other party had already appeared in the field of vision, it would be too obvious if he called Zhang Weidong or Li Qiusheng to bring someone to touch him, so Fu Zhiyong had to secretly give an order to Liao Peng, who was close at hand, and asked him to take someone to do this.
"Don't be nervous, don't go too far." At this time, three people slowly walked out of the woods, all of them dressed in ordinary clothes, the only difference was the bullet pouch they were carrying and an old Hanyang-made rifle held high above their heads.
"Throw the gun on the ground for me, and the other hand! Stretch out slowly, don't try to touch your waist, I don't believe your hand can be faster than the gun in my soldier's hand. Although Fu Zhiyong saw that they had raised their guns, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance and said.
"You've got to get an inch, don't you?" The person on the left of the three people immediately became angry as soon as he heard Fu Zhiyong's words, glaring at Fu Zhiyong and the soldiers of the national army in front of him and roaring without any retreat.
"Steel! You shut up for me, put the gun down for me, we are all Chinese, don't beat your own people. The man in the lead immediately shouted at the man who was going to resist.
"Platoon commander!" The man named Gangzi immediately raised his voice and shouted, obviously very unconvinced.
"I'll tell you to put down my gun! Don't you even listen to my orders? Are you trying to disobey orders? The person who was called the platoon commander saw that Gangzi was still holding the gun fiercely, and he immediately became angry, and yelled at him and asked.
