In the vast mountains, a company of soldiers stepped on the night, their clothes fluttering, and they hurriedly ran.

On this night, the Independent Regiment conquered more than a dozen strongholds south of Qinglong Town and seized a lot of food and ammunition. After listening to the reports of the battalion commanders, Regiment Commander Li had a smile on his face, looked at the dawn of the sun, and said: "Comrades, last night's sortie not only dealt a severe blow to the enemy, but also solved the problem of eating. As the saying goes: 'Man is iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.' With food, we have a foothold, and we can compete with the invincible devils. After breakfast, each battalion rested for two hours, and then set up barracks at the foot of the southern hill and defensive fortifications in depth in the north. ”

Wang Changgui saw that the first company had not returned for a long time, and he was anxious, and said: "Commander Li, I want to take the second company to pick up the first company." When Commander Li heard the sound of running, he followed the sound and said, "No need to pick up, they are back." ”

Wang Fei's clothes were soaked with sweat, and as soon as he saw Commander Li, he told in detail how the first company could not attack the turret, how Liu Hui helped at the critical juncture, and how Liu Hui let Liu Hui talk.

Li Zijian frowned, carefully savoring Liu Hui's words. After Liu Hui provided Ma Dayi with news, Wei Qiming's good impression of her deepened in his heart, and he said at this time: "Head Li, Liu Hui must have a good intention to let Wang Fei come over, but there is a mystery in her words, which seems to imply something. Li Zijian said: "The words she brought are clueless, which is really incomprehensible." Wei Qiming said: "Miss Liu Hui is full of wisdom and cleverness......

Zhang Huayu couldn't hear others praise Liu Hui the most, and reprimanded: "Commissar Wei, don't talk nonsense, and you're not afraid that people will be disgusted when they hear it?" Hum! In my opinion, Liu Hui is a troublemaker, and she has no good intentions. He looked up at the peak and continued: "This place can be attacked and retreated, and it is undoubtedly a strategic fortress." ”

Wei Qiming asked him to reprimand him in public, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "Team Leader Zhang, if you really do what you said, why didn't Liu Hui come to occupy it?" Zhang Huayu said: "She regretted not occupying us before us, so she came to make a fuss and wanted to scare us away." Wei Qiming said: "Team Leader Zhang, it's not right for you to say this, if Liu Hui regrets it......"

Li Zijian saw that the two were about to have a dispute, and hurriedly said: "Political Commissar Wei, Team Leader Zhang, Miss Liu Hui is extremely smart and unpredictable, and she will not give a word for no reason." We'd better take our troops to the mountains to the south and hide them first, and if nothing happens in three or two days, it's not too late for us to come back.

Wei Qiming nodded and said, "I agree." Zhang Huayu said: "Commander Li, do you want to ask the brigade headquarters or military subdivision first?" Li Zijian said: "Without further ado, act immediately, and after the troops are hidden, I will ask Chief of Staff Chen to telegraph to the brigade headquarters." At his command, the Independent Regiment withdrew from Reef Hill before five o'clock and hid in the mountains to the south.

In the early morning, the breeze is gentle, and in the dense woods, the birds stretch their voices and sing to their heart's content. Li Zijian and Wei Qiming were lying on the grass under the tree, looking at the birds jumping on the branches, and they both put their minds on Liu Hui. Chen Zhaohong hurriedly walked over and said, "Among the soldiers who were wounded last night, there are thirteen seriously wounded, and if they are not treated in time, I am afraid that their lives will not be saved." ”

Li Zijian propped himself up with his hands and asked, "Running out of medicine?" Chen Zhaohong said: "Yes, most of the fifty-six soldiers who were wounded last night hastily treated their wounds. Wei Qiming said: "The underground party and traffic stations here have all been destroyed, and we need to go to Mengyin or Qingcheng to make medicine." However, it takes at least four days to go back and forth, but the injuries of the injured can't wait, how can this be good? Li Zijian, as the regiment commander, was powerless to do anything about the wounded at this time, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, and said gloomily: "Political Commissar Wei, Chief of Staff Chen, I'll let ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and asked: "Can you two hear the sound of the plane?" The two of them were stunned, and the sound of the plane's engine came clearly.

Chen Zhaohong hurriedly said: "Regiment commander, political commissar, you two quickly go into the cave and hide." Li Zijian said: "The trees here are lush, and the devil plane can't find us." As he spoke, the plane flew overhead, and a minute later, a loud explosion was heard from the north.

Wei Qiming also got up, looked at the smoke and dust rolling in the air in the north, and said with palpitations: "Commander Li, fortunately we evacuated Jiaozi Mountain, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" Li Zijian sighed and said, "Yes! I only thought of the ground, but I didn't think of the air, as the commander of the regiment, I was derelict in my duty! Wei Qiming said: "When we meet, we must thank Miss Liu Hui." Chen Zhaohong said: "Yes, I should thank you, without Liu Hui providing us with a radio station, I'm afraid that we won't be able to contact the brigade headquarters yet." ”

Li Zijian rolled a cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, and suddenly asked, "Political Commissar Wei, Chief of Staff Chen, do you two have a way to let Liu Hui join our independent regiment?" Chen Zhaohong rolled his eyes and said, "There is a way that may work." Wei Qiming's eyes lit up and said, "Tell me about it." Chen Zhaohong said: "Let Xia Yifan return to the team, Miss Liu Hui will definitely follow, but it will ...... I'm afraid that Zhang Huayu won't be able to accommodate her. Li Zijian and Wei Qiming heard him mention Zhang Huayu, and their eyes dimmed. The two of them knew better than anyone else that Xia Yifan's return to the team was the only way for Liu Hui to participate in the Eighth Road, while Zhang Huayu was a hurdle, an insurmountable hurdle.

Tong Qiang had already served as an operational staff officer at the regiment headquarters, and at this moment he heard a shocking noise, and thought: "If I lead the soldiers to resist and persist stubbornly, then, if the devil plane flies and bombs indiscriminately, will I still have my life?" Not only did he think so, but the soldiers who surrendered with him all thought like this, gritting their teeth and hating the devil to the extreme.

Zhang Huayu hid in the depths of the cave, trembling with fright, and said secretly: "It's so dangerous, if I insist on not leaving, won't I be blown up by the bomb and lose my bones?" ”

After the devil's plane flew away, Ma Dayi shouted as he ran: "Three chiefs, the devil has occupied Jiaozi Mountain. Li Zijian exclaimed: "What? Say it again. Ma Dayi landed in front of Li Zijian, took a breath, and said: "As soon as the explosion stopped, the devils swarmed up Jiaozi Mountain, and the number should be more than two squadrons." Li Zijian waved his hand and said, "Company Commander Ma, continue to observe." Ma Dayi responded and ran away.

Wei Qiming was the most calm in the past, and at this time, his face was full of anxiety, and he said, "The devil came too fast. Li Zijian wanted to take a puff of cigarette, but when he looked down, there was only one cigarette butt left, which was about to burn to his hand, so he hurriedly extinguished the cigarette and threw it on the ground, stepped on it twice with his foot, and said: "No, if there is no reminder from Liu Hui, our independent regiment is afraid that it will be destroyed this time." ”
