Chapter 3: Deliverance

Early birds chirp. The cheerful chirp on the branches woke Ouyang Jian up. There was a hint of morning light in the east, and the air was exceptionally clear. He used to stretch out his wrist to look at his watch, but there was no trace of a watch on his wrist. Ouyang Jian smiled bitterly and secretly thought: It seems that in order to adapt to the life of this era, you must start little by little, and it may not be easy to integrate into this era. "Battalion commander, you want to look at the time, the pocket watch is in your left jacket pocket." The guard pony rubbed his eyes in a reminder. Ouyang Jian looked at the dark and immature face of the dismounted, and felt that his guard was a clever young man.

Ouyang Jian reached out and touched the pocket of his jacket, and sure enough, there was a pocket watch with a watch chain. took out the pocket watch Ouyang Jian carefully examined it, the pocket watch shell was made of copper, and it was very seriously worn, indicating that this fast pocket watch had experienced the vicissitudes of time. On the back of the case are English letters, which clearly indicate that they are made in Switzerland. When the lid is opened, the dial shows Latin numerals, and the time points to 3:50 a.m. "Battalion commander, this pocket watch has been with you for a long time, what's the matter," Pony was a little surprised. At this time, there was a noise next to him, and everyone woke up and packed up.

Ouyang Jian didn't answer Pony's question, but changed the subject: "What do we eat in the morning?" "Battalion commander, there is no dry food, only sweet potatoes." Pony apologized and took out a piece of sweet potato from his pocket and handed it over, not expecting sweet potatoes to be so sweet and delicious. Ouyang Jian saw the pony staring at the sweet potato halfway through it and asked, "Why don't you eat it!" "Battalion commander, I'm not hungry!" Ouyang Jian immediately realized that the sweet potato was about to stop. Seeing the pony's hungry appearance, Ouyang Jian said: "I'm not too hungry either, you can eat half of the sweet potato left!" "Battalion commander, I'm not hungry, I'll keep the sweet potatoes for you." The pony shook his head stubbornly.

"I order you to eat!" Ouyang Jianhu's face seemed to be very angry, and the pony was stunned for a moment, timidly took half of the sweet potato, and ate it in a small bite, intending to make the tasting time longer. Ouyang Jian was a little sad and couldn't bear to witness it, so he took out the map from under his arm to check it. "Battalion commander, everyone is packed up, you give the order to go on the road." Li Guangda walked over. "Is there a shortage of food?" "Yes, the retreat was in a hurry, and everyone was only given a few sweet potatoes, and it is estimated that there is not much left." We had to settle the food, and the map showed that there was a town about 10 miles from the ground in front of it, but the name was vague and unclear. ”

"The town in front is called Fengyun Town, and I've been to that place, and there are hundreds of families." "To go to Fengyun Town, we have to solve the problem of food, which is a priority. Pick two clever points to be the top soldiers, and keep a distance of 200 meters. We don't take the big road, we go the small road. Soon the troops were on the road, and the stretcher was bumpy, and Ouyang Jian felt some pain in the wound. The hygienist changed his medicine before departure, but fortunately he got a lot of medicine at the German clinic, otherwise. In such hot weather, wounds can become infected. The mountainous area is sparsely populated, and the trail is probably rarely walked, and many unnamed weeds grow vigorously on the road.

Ouyang Jian was lying on the stretcher with a lot of thoughts, since God made him a believer, it was to let himself shoulder an unshirkable historical mission. Ouyang Jian secretly made up his mind to find a base to gain a foothold and develop and grow. After the situation improved, he led his troops to integrate into the Red Army units, and it is not difficult to imagine that there are thorns and unavoidable difficulties and obstacles ahead, but this conviction cannot be shaken. If you rely on your own foresight and help the great man to avoid mistakes and artificial internal friction, there may be a situation that has never existed before.

As some of the wounded troops walked slowly, over a small forest, the sound of gurgling water was heard in front. Where there is water, there must be fish, Ouyang Jian took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and said, "Xiaoma, you notify the deputy battalion commander and order the troops to rest for a while." Li Guangda turned back from the front sweating, "Battalion commander, this path is rarely walked, let's hurry up, it is estimated that Xiang Wu can reach Fengyun Town." "The map doesn't show that there is a river here, it is probably a small stream, will you catch fish?" "Catch fish? When I was young, I touched fish by the river, and I understand, you want everyone to eat fish! ”

Survival in the wild is pediatric for Ouyang Jian, and now is the opportunity for field training, since this is the case, let's start now. Ahead, as expected, there was a small stream, which meandered and gurgled among the grassy mountains. When the troops came to the creek and stopped advancing, Li Guangda gave the order to catch fish, and the soldiers immediately rolled up their trouser legs and went into action. At this time, Ouyang Jian beckoned several lightly injured people to gather firewood and grass to light a bonfire. The hungry soldiers were in high spirits, and soon the shore was filled with fish of all sizes. There are no big fish in the creek, and a fish the size of a palm is a big fish.

Although the fish are small, the fish in the creek are very thick. Ouyang Jianjiao taught everyone how to grill fish, and soon the smell of fish began to permeate. Eating fragrant fish and meat with salt is like the most beautiful delicacy in the world, and at this moment, no delicacies from the mountains and seas can be compared. Li Guangda, the deputy battalion commander, felt that the battalion commander had changed too much, and it seemed that the two of them were like two people, as if their personalities, tempers and even styles were different from the past. Could it be that as the battalion commander said, the harsh reality or being seriously injured made him change his personality. Especially when he saw the confident and mature face of the battalion commander, Li Guangda suddenly looked uplifted.

After eating, Ouyang Jian continued on the road, Ouyang Jian specially instructed the two sharp soldiers, and took the trouble to tell them how to observe the enemy's situation, how to prevent the enemy from detecting and discovering the enemy first. On the way, Zhang Shiying said mysteriously: "Deputy battalion commander, have you noticed it, the battalion commander seems to have changed a lot, the battalion commander used to be unsmiling and talking, but now he has become gentle, and he is more thoughtful." "Don't think about it, maybe this is a special period, and the pressure on the shoulders of the battalion commander is too great, and it is reasonable to have changes."

The weather is getting hot and gloomy, and a storm is coming. "Battalion commander, it's about to rain, and over the mountains in front of you is Fengyun Town." As soon as Li Guangda finished speaking, raindrops fell from the sky. The guard pony hurriedly put the rain cloth on Ouyang Jian's body. As soon as the team reached the mountain range, a sharp soldier ran back from the front and took the breath and said, "The battalion commander has a situation. Hearing this, everyone quickly became alert and loaded their bombs, and the atmosphere became tense. Without waiting for Ouyang Jian to speak, Li Guangda hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Report! On the dam field on the south side of Fengyun Town, a group of homecoming groups appeared, wearing black clothes and black pants with weapons in their hands. Four people were tied up and kneeling on the ground, and three men and one woman were to be executed. "Battalion commander, it must be our comrades, what should we do?" Li Guangda's eyes showed an anxious look.

"The Returning Home Regiment has always done all kinds of evil, they have killed military families, martyrs' families, including our comrades, and they are ruthless." Zhang Shiying said in an air. "How many people are in the homecoming group?" Ouyang Jian asked. "About fifty or sixty people!" "Battalion commander, we don't have much ammunition left, only a few bullets for each person, and a dozen grenades, how to rescue." Ouyang Jian said decisively: "The lives of our comrades hang by a thread, and we have the responsibility to rescue them." I will personally direct the battle and lift me to a position three hundred meters from the dam field, so that the enemy will not notice. ”

"Battalion commander, you are seriously injured, or I will command the battle!" Li Guangda said worriedly. "The situation is critical, don't fight. Find me a good one to grab. After a while, Zhang Shiying brought a rifle and said, "This gun is our best robbery." Ouyang Jian took the rifle and pulled the bolt open, due to the excessive force, the wound emitted a piercing pain, and Ouyang Jian's brows tightened and cold sweat broke out. Battalion commander, you... Ouyang Jian waved his hand and squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "This is a Mauser rifle made in the Czech Republic, it is a good gun." ”

Ouyang Jian is very interested in firearms, and he clearly knows that although this Mauser gun is made in the Czech Republic, it is actually the masterpiece of the Germans behind it. After Germany's defeat in World War I, German arms production was restricted due to the Treaty of Versailles. Therefore, the Germans cooperated with the Czechs in the production of weapons, and in fact, the new rifle was designed entirely by the Germans. Don't think about it, this Mauser rifle was produced in 1924 and has an effective range of 500 meters.

"Battalion commander, the Mauser has only 10 rounds! Our weapons are all a hodgepodge. Zhang Shiying looked helpless. Ouyang Jian said decisively: "Don't shoot without my order for a while, remember that we are not destroying the enemy, but beating the enemy away to rescue our comrades." Don't hesitate to act now! Deputy battalion commander Li Guangda selected a dozen soldiers to set off first, and then two soldiers set off with their cameras on stretchers and accompanied by guard ponies. The drizzle began to form a curtain of rain, and God's beauty played a covering role. The soldiers who stayed behind accompanied the wounded, and Ouyang Jian ordered them to stand by in place.

Soon, Ouyang Jian was lifted to a position about 300 meters away from the dam site, which was slightly higher enough to view the position on the dam site. From afar, Fengyun Town has a panoramic view. This is an ancient town, and the gray tiled houses show traces of longevity. A dirt road runs north and south through the town. Fengyun Town is located on the flat land on the dam, and the dam field is located on the west side of the sand road in the south of the town. The dam was apparently a threshing floor, with a lot of straw piled up in a mess. Ouyang Jian held the binoculars and took a closer look, and saw that Li Guangda led more than ten soldiers who had already entered the predetermined position to hide, so he locked the telescope on the threshing floor.

Sure enough, there were 4 people kneeling on the ground in the dam field, with a sign behind them, and the handwriting on the sign was blurry and unclear. The only woman was wearing a cheongsam with her hair disheveled over her face. Three other men, two of whom were dressed in tunics and the other was dressed as a businessman. The enemy stood on guard all around, and at the intersection of the dam yard stood local people, who watched in fear in the rain. There was a Taishi chair on one side of the venue, two big men holding umbrellas and serving left and right, and a fat guy sitting on the Taishi chair.

The fat guy slanted this holster seems to be very laid-back. "Battalion commander, what are the enemies waiting for, why don't you start the execution?" The guard pony seems to be in a hurry. Ouyang Jian glanced at his pocket watch, there were still 20 minutes left before 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed that the enemy was waiting for three o'clock in the afternoon to ask for a beheading. Sure enough, the fat guy waved his hand, and several subordinate teams stepped forward with guns, "Battalion commander, the enemy is about to move!" "The guard is in a hurry. Ouyang Jian loaded the bullet, set the ruler at 320 meters, then observed the wind direction, and then aimed the crosshair at the fat guy.

Ouyang Jian's own archery skills are good, but at such a distance, one shot kills, Ouyang Jian in his previous life couldn't do it at all. And as an imposter, Ouyang's sword archery skills are impeccable. You must know that in the Snow Leopard Commando, a distance of 1 kilometer is considered to be a pass, and usually their shooting distance is about 2,000 meters. Although he uses the most advanced sniper rifle, he can't do it without his own skills. It can be said that Ouyang Jian, as a snow leopard commando, is one in a million and has been tempered and forged, so this distance is 10% sure for Ouyang Jian.

Everything was ready, Ouyang Jian gently pulled the trigger, and with a crisp gunshot, he saw that the leader of the homecoming group sitting on the Taishi's chair was shot in the head. Ouyang Jian didn't stop, then pulled the bolt and fired decisively, and with the sound of gunshots, the two big men fell to the ground. The enemy was in disarray, and someone shouted that the captain had been killed. At this time, the deputy battalion commander Li Guangda also began to shoot. Probably because their archery skills are not good or their performance is not good, their archery skills are terrible. Ouyang Jian selected the target smartly, every time he fired, the wound felt like it was torn, and after insisting on firing 10 bullets, Ouyang Jian showed fatigue and turned pale. How about archery? Needless to say, guns bite meat.

The enemy was confused for a few moments, fired a few random shots, and then fled into the town. Ouyang Jian's 10 bullets almost wiped out the leader of the homecoming group, and the enemy was leaderless, so frightened that his soul flew away, and he fled. When the gunshots rang out, the people who were watching were also frightened and ran to the town, and the scene was chaotic. When the deputy battalion commander Li Guangda saw the enemy fleeing, he ordered a pursuit. Ouyang Jian judged that the enemy would not dare to stay in the town and must flee north, so he ordered the guards to notify the soldiers and wounded who were on standby behind to enter the town.

About half an hour later, Ouyang Jian was carried to the front of the town government, and the people of the town government also ran out. In front of the door, Li Guangda led his subordinates and the four comrades who were rescued to wait, their bodies were drenched in rain, but their faces were full of excitement. "The battalion commander, killed 22 people, wounded 5 people, did not capture prisoners. The enemy fled north, and we did not pursue. Battalion commander, you impress me. I know that you have superb archery skills in 100-meter targeting, but I didn't expect such a long distance, and still hit every shot, it's a magic gun! Ouyang Jian smiled bitterly and looked at the four rescued comrades.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Ouyang Jian, the commander of an assault battalion of the Nanchang Uprising Army, and my department is responsible for covering the transfer of large troops and retreating here, may I ask about your situation." Ouyang Jian got straight to the point, there was no need to hide it at this time. "I am Tan Song, Secretary of the Underground Party Working Committee of Fengyun Town, and my public identity is the principal of Fengyun Town Primary School. This is Yu Fang, a teacher at Fengyun Town Primary School, and this is Gao Guoying, the owner of Fengyun Town Post Station. This lesbian is Lu Wenting, a teacher at Fengyun Town Primary School. We were betrayed by traitors, and you appeared at a critical moment, thank you so much, without your timely rescue, we are afraid that we will ・・・・・・. ”

Presumably due to fear, the only woman choked up, her hair still messy and her face unrecognizable. It is obvious that he has been reborn from a desperate atmosphere, and the mixture of joy and sorrow is difficult to control. Tan Song comforted Lu Wenting, and then everyone walked into the town office. The hygienist examined Ouyang Jian's wound, and the sutured wound was oozing some blood, and the hygienist carefully wiped it. This kung fu Lu Wenting walked in with a new look. Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't take their eyes off her.
