There is one thing that Jiang Dingwen did not say. Last month, the Hebei guerrillas had asked him twice in a row for help, but he had not replied to the commander-in-chief of the other guerrillas. Now that Hu Fei has taken the initiative to ask him for battle, he will kill two birds with one stone if he sends people over. It not only satisfied Hu Fei's request for war, but also solved the problem of reinforcements from the Hebei guerrillas. It's the best of both worlds!

Hu Fei didn't know that his request for battle had solved a problem for Chief Jiang, and he couldn't read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Lord Jiang was thinking. Anyway, Jiang Dingwen gave him a chance to leave the garrison and leave the headquarters of the war zone, this is good news!

Happily leaving the commander's office and returning to the station, Hu Fei immediately summoned the generals to announce the order: all departments should hurry up and pack up their equipment, and the troops will be drawn two days later, targeting the Hutuo River valley in Hebei!

The troops are going to be pulled out! As soon as the order was issued, the entire 88th Column immediately became busy. Handover with the local government, go to the war zone to receive military supplies, give routine ideological mobilization to the officers and soldiers, and pack luggage and equipment. The barracks, which was originally quite orderly, immediately became jumping because of this order.

How the troops will hand over to the local area, how to receive supplies, and how to determine the route of the march are all handled by special personnel, and Hu Fei, as the commander, does not have to worry about it at all. All he had to do was to convey the order to the core generals of the army, and after the order was delivered, Hu Fei would be fine.

Said it was fine, but in fact, could he be idle? accompanied Feng Yi to attend several send-off banquets from the business community in a row, and helped the hospital pack her luggage with Zhang Yayi.

It turned out that the guard platoon commander of the 88th Column Medical Team was Tosang, and he could completely let go of the affairs of the medical team. But now Tosang has become the battalion commander of the fast response battalion, and the medical team has been upgraded to a field hospital, and Zhang Yayi has taken the initiative to take over the security work. The troops were to be mobilized, and Hu Fei went to the field hospital several times a day to inspect and guide the work.

"Welcome Commander Hu to visit and guide!" Zhang Zhonglin, director of the field hospital, shook hands with Hu Fei with a red face.

Looking at this guy's energetic appearance, could it be that another little nurse has fallen into his clutches? Thinking in his heart, he said it casually, "Hehe, Dean Zhang is in such good spirits, could it be that he is in love again?" ”

Zhang Zhonglin's face turned red instantly, and then immediately returned to normal. Originally, he was not a thin-skinned person, and after being in the army for so long, the thickness of his skin had increased several times. This is why Hu Fei is asking him, if he wants to be replaced by someone else, it is estimated that Dean Zhang's face will not even be red.

The commander joked. What kind of love is Zhong Lin still talking about at this age? That's all between young people. Please rest assured, Commander, our field hospital is all ready, as long as you give an order, we can be pulled out at any time, and we will definitely not drag the troops back! ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have Dean Zhang's words." Hu Feile was talking to Zhang Zhonglin, and a heroic figure hurriedly greeted him, and it was Zhang Yayi who rushed over when he heard the news.

"Captain Zhang, I will leave the task of receiving the commander to you. You must entertain the Commander well and make the Commander's trip to the hospital pleasant! Commander, I still have one operation to do, so I'll take my leave. If you have any needs, please feel free to mention them to Captain Zhang. Leave. Zhang Zhonglin raised his hand and saluted casually, turned around and hurried away with the two little nurses.

Looking at Zhang Zhonglin's fast back, Hu Fei smiled slightly, this guy is still quite eye-catching. "Yayi, let's go, let's go for a walk."

"What walk? I've got a lot of work to do! Zhang Yayi glanced at Hu Fei with a charming look, "Since you are here, you just want to help me." Let's go, I would like to ask you, the commander, to personally assign tasks to my hospital guard platoon. Zhang Yayi pulled Hu Fei into the hospital.

Two days later, all the troops of the 88th Column set up camp and began to march north in accordance with the orders of the theater, preparing to go to Hebei to cooperate with the local guerrillas.

More than 6,000 troops, thousands of horses, more than 200 carts, plus 40 charcoal cars. Such a large force was not small in motion, and the troops meandered more than a kilometer long, and the dust raised obscured the sky.

Riding on a horse and looking at the endless team around him, Hu Fei had an urge to look up to the sky and roar. After so many years of struggle, it finally has a strong army, and now he is going to take this army back to the hometown where he was born and raised!

The troops made a meandering journey north, in the direction of the Hutuo River. Scouts were sent out from afar, and all towns where heavy Japanese troops were gathered made detours. The troops march at sunrise and rest at sunset, day after day. On this day, the scouts came with the news that the Hutuo River was ahead.

The sound of roaring water was faintly heard, and the air was filled with a damp vapor. Further ahead, a white line lies in front, winding, continuous and long, this is the famous Hutuo River.

"After crossing the Yangtze River and the big river, the cross-flow is overwhelming. Xiao Wang Maifan was in a hurry, looking back on Zhongtian with a lot of emotion. Standing on the side of the rolling Hutuo River, Hu Fei couldn't hide his excitement for a while, and raised his head and chanted this poem from Wen Tianxiang. Zhang Yayi, who was behind her, looked at her lover, and her eyes were full of admiration.

"Good poetry, good poetry!" Liu Dong happened to pass by and heard Hu Fei's poem, and couldn't help but applaud and admire, "Wen Tianxiang's poem is majestic and heroic, which is just right for his iron bones." Wenshan Gong did not hesitate to die in order to fight against the Tartars, and his style and bones were sung for future generations for thousands of years. The commander chanted Wen Tianxiang's poems at this time, but he compared himself to Wen Shangong, and he wanted to be like Wen Tianxiang and the Japanese invaders? ”

"Hehe, Liu Shenzao praised it." Hu Fei hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "How dare Hu Fei compare himself to Wen Tianxiang?" The Duke of Wenshan fought a bloody battle with the Mongol army to the end, and after being captured, he was loyal and unyielding, and regarded high-ranking officials as dung. It is better to be broken than to be complete, so that it can last through the ages. But I want to let the Japanese invaders die for their country and live a good life for themselves. In terms of ideology, I am far worse than Wen Tianxiang. ”

"Hahahaha." Hu Fei and Liu Dong looked at each other and laughed, and the laughter was really hearty.

After arriving at the Hutuo River Valley, the troops did not contact the local guerrillas but crossed the river and continued northward. Hu Fei planned to cross the Great Wall and enter the northeast as much as possible.

"Report, the reconnaissance battalion found Japanese troops!"

"Report, the cavalry regiment has exchanged fire with the devils!"

"Report, the 1st Regiment is fighting fiercely with the Japanese army!"

"Report, the 2nd Regiment and the Japanese are fighting fiercely!"

"Report, the new regiment and the Japanese army are fighting fiercely!"
