On the north bank of the Laodao River, part of the 52nd Regiment of the 50th Regiment of the 0th Army was waiting to cross the river. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The regiment commander, Wu Chengxian, with a tense face, patrolled among the soldiers and junior officers waiting for the ship.

Although the officers and soldiers of his subordinates did not say a word, they were not very happy, and only because of the reprimand just now by the regiment commander did they keep their mouths shut.

Although their mouths were closed, the whining words still echoed in the ears of all of them.

Just now it was said, "The nest of this battle has been chased by the devils from the Xinqiang River to the Laodao River, and it is not far from the Laodao River to Changsha".

Just now, he said, "At the beginning, the chiefs said okay, we just retreated to drag down the weak devils, but they were all dragged to the Laodao River, so why don't we drag Changsha City into it?" "of.

They just said, "If you want to say that the devil's artillery is powerful, we won't say anything, but now that the devil's heavy artillery is gone, the charge is not as fierce as it used to be, but why do we have to retreat?" "of

They even said, "Where else can I retreat, to hell with that space for time." "of.

Send a few words of complaint that you should be a soldier should make, but the words "let that one exchange space for time to see the hell" is also something that you can say as a soldier? Wu Chengxian had to come forward to "play and press", which made everyone shut their mouths.

Wu Chengxian knew that he was not to blame his soldiers, whose words represented the general mood of the soldiers of their 508th Regiment

As a regiment commander, he naturally will not be as impulsive as a soldier, after all, the theater command has its own overall campaign concept, and as a subordinate, it can only be unconditionally obeyed.

This kind of soldier whining is very common, because a pawn is a pawn, and you can never figure out what the veteran is thinking.

For example, in order to cover the retreat of a division or an army, a regiment must bear heavy losses, and on the whole, the strength of a large army is preserved, but a regiment that can only be counted as a small unit may be disabled or destroyed.

At this time, this regiment, which is a small local unit, must be full of complaints.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was arduous, and many troops complained because they were assigned to urgent and dangerous tasks, but the soldiers of General Guan Tiequan, who was enthusiastic about resisting Japan, were ashamed of not being able to fight with devils with real swords and guns.

Who called us the trump card? Who called us the trump card of the Central Army, if we blindly retreat without complaining but are happy to retreat, then it is not a trump card.

In the silence of the officers and soldiers, they saw several more wooden boats coming, which was the return of the boat that had taken them across the river.

But just as the officers and men of the 508th Regiment began to board the boat, they heard a faint shout behind them.

Everyone looked back and saw in the distance that a few people were running towards them in the mud, and there was a force in the distance behind them, but it was too far away to see the number of people.

"It's not that the little devil pretended to be the national army to catch up." Someone muttered under his breath.

The soldiers on the shore of the ship all looked at the regiment commander Wu Chengxian, and saw that his regiment commander had already picked up the telescope at this time and looked at it for a while, and then put the telescope down, but he waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to put down the guns they were up, which showed that the regiment commander saw that the other party was not a Japanese soldier.

After a while, those people were fast and slow, and they had already run to the front, and they could already be seen clearly by the people of the 508th Regiment.

The outfits of these people are naturally the uniforms of the national army, but their bodies are covered with mud and water, and the most conspicuous place is that they are all barefoot, but their shoes are carried in their hands.

A junior officer who ran to the front first saw a company commander under Wu Chengxian who was still standing on the shore, so he snapped and said: "Shen Chong, a battalion directly under the Ninth Theater Command of the Central Army, wants to ask friendly troops to make it convenient, can you take our battalion across the river together?" ”

It's just that this Shen Chongli was fighting a little eagerly, but he forgot that there happened to be mud and water under his feet, but when he put his feet together, it was a pia sound, splashing the muddy water on the face of the company commander, and the soldiers around the company commander were naturally "wet with rain and dew".

At that time, these officers and soldiers who were splashed by the muddy water were not happy, and the company commander said: "I don't care which part of you are, if you want to cross the river, you can find it yourself!" ”

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" At this time, the fourth person finally ran out of breath, the man was obviously not young, with thick lips and small eyes, and he was also wearing an officer's uniform, but he had taken off his rank badge.

The man saw that Shen Chong had splashed people's clothes and faces with dirty muddy water, so he reached out to wipe them, but halfway through his hand, he was blocked by the box cannon that the company commander still copied in his hand.

Why, the first person may not be able to look down on you to wipe others with your hands. Second, you don't look at your hand, which is not cleaner than the muddy water that splashed on your clothes!

"It's all for the party-state, and I ask the brothers to make it convenient, hehe, it's convenient." The man was not embarrassed that his hand was blocked, but withdrew his hand and made a fist salute, and made a circle towards the people of the 508th Regiment who were looking at him coldly.

"I didn't step on it, where did such a second cargo come from?" A soldier behind the company commander whispered.

It was said that it was a whisper, of course, because he didn't shout it, but everyone present heard it clearly.

And the person who lost the title didn't know whether it was because of his surprisingly good psychological quality or his surprisingly thick skin that he hadn't heard of it, and he still said with a smile: "They are all brothers of the Central Army, everyone make it convenient, hehe, make it convenient." ”

"Who is a brother with you?" The company commander stretched out his hand to wipe the muddy water from his face, showing disdain, and then turned to his soldiers and said, "Brothers, get on board!" ”

At this time, the junior officer who called himself Shen Chong saw that the other party no longer paid attention to him, and his face involuntarily showed anger, but he immediately held back.

The officer who didn't have a title medal still nodded at all the officers and even soldiers of the 508th Regiment wearing officer uniforms on the shore, but he responded to that sentence with a hot face and a cold ass, and people ignored him at all!

How can the people of the 508th Regiment be in the mood to pay attention to him, one by one, they said in their hearts, that is, if you touch our 508th Regiment, you dare to splash muddy water on our people, and if you want to change to another regiment, you will not be beaten.

And at this moment, the large army behind those few people finally caught up, and it really looked like there were really three or four hundred people in a battalion.

It's just that the weapons they hold are really varied, there are Chinese official and 38 big covers, there are crooked handles and Czechs, there are Japanese katanas and Chinese large knives, but, without exception, all of them are barefoot, or carry shoes in their hands or pin the shoes around their waists.

At this time, the slightly slender major at the forefront of the team was dressed as Huo Xiaoshan.

After Huo Xiaoshan and Shen Chong set fire to the grain stacks at the Japanese army's supply station, they naturally swam across the Miluo River and caught up with the battalion directly under them.

In view of the fact that the Japanese army was now very strict against their direct battalion and the direct battalion had been fighting guerrilla for many days, Huo Xiaoshan decided to lead his troops to withdraw to the south of the Laodao River for temporary rest and recuperation in order to fight again.

It happened that he saw from afar that there were troops crossing the river and a boat, so he hurriedly caught up, and Huo Xiaoshan knew that his soldiers had reached the limit of their physical fitness, so he asked Shen Chong and a few of them to catch up first to discuss taking a boat.

Zheng Youjian knew that this boat was a matter of begging for people, and he was afraid that Shen Chong would not be able to pull his face, so he hurriedly followed and chased after him.

At this time, Huo Xiaoshan saw that Zheng Youjian was still nodding vigorously behind the buttocks, and Shen Chong was trying to hide the anger in his eyes, and he guessed why without asking.

Seeing that the people on the other side were about to finish getting on the boat, Huo Xiaoshan also knew that although the Japanese army still had the covering troops of the national army behind, it would not take too long to attack here, so he took a few steps forward, but shouted loudly: "I don't know which commander of your department is in charge, Huo Xiaoshan, the commander of the battalion major directly under him, implores that your department can carry us across the river!" ”
