Chapter 22, Parting

With clouds hanging over the sky and the autumn breeze biting, it seems that today is not a good day to travel.

If you can, everyone is willing to stay in a warm and comfortable home, or chat with friends, or play cards for entertainment, and spend the day leisurely.

But the cruel reality makes it difficult for people to have such a comfortable day.

Last night, the intelligence officers passed back the news that a section of the enemy's Fourth Brigade stationed in Anding County and the puppet army garrison of Anding County will sweep from south to north from now on.

The Japanese army's sweeping plan obtained by the intelligence officers of the new regiment should be very accurate. However, the Japanese army plan he obtained was only a part of the overall strategy of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not only have this road sweeping force, but from the east and south sides, more than 20,000 people of the Japanese First Army and the same number of puppet troops, formed a ten-way sweeping force, relying on the road network and railway network to advance, forming a left and right pincer offensive.

Its purpose was to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, eradicate its base areas, narrow the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army, and achieve favorable conditions for the next spring sweep.

Of course, the intelligence of the Japanese army's strategic purpose is not clear to the Eighth Route Army for the time being. However, its various actions of dispatching troops and hoarding war readiness materials have long been taken into account by the Eighth Route Army.

A counter-sweep to cover the transfer of civilians is about to begin.

At the entrance of Zhaojiazhuang Village, the common people carried millet on their backs, pushed carts, drove livestock, and helped the old and young to drag their families to the mountains.

We all know that devils have no humanity, they will rob grain at least and slaughter villages at worst, and no one will have a fluke mentality. I'd rather drag my family to the mountains to suffer the cold, than dare to stay and wait for the devil to be kind.

Of course, the grain is all hidden, and there will not be a grain of millet left for the devil.

When the devil is gone and the village is safe, the people will still come back. There are their fields and houses here, and there is no way to leave them completely.

A peasant cannot live without the land, like a fish without water.

In the face of the Japanese invaders who forced them to leave their homes, some people said: "Little devils of dog days, they should go to hell." ”

"Little devils don't die well."

The list goes on and on.

When the people were almost gone, the other line at the entrance of the village was so conspicuous. The few people from the division's propaganda team, a few militiamen with guns on their backs, and Yuan Chenming, who was famous for ten miles yesterday.

Li Yunlong specially came to see them off, and when the old comrades-in-arms are farewell, it is possible that they will be said goodbye to life and death in a year and a half.

And for Xu Xiaoyong's refusal to send some soldiers to escort him, Li Yunlong felt that his old comrades-in-arms didn't want him to be difficult.

As soon as the battle began, it was certain that the front line needed more troops. But he said that he would send someone to escort him.

Xu Xiaoyong saw that he had been silent, and said, "Okay, just send it here, Lao Li, your Grand Master is about to fight, you should go back to your post as soon as possible."

It is enough to send us here, we will follow the villagers, and the comrades of the militia will protect us, it is enough.

Your Lao Li is not usually a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, why is this like this today? ”

Li Yunlong grinned, and no longer cared about that matter, "Okay, Ming people don't say secret words, when the battle is over, I will invite you to drink." ”

"This is the Li Yunlong I know!"

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you about." Li Yunlong was not polite to his old comrades-in-arms, and pointed to Yuan Chenming, who was talking to the two girls over there.

"You take good care of him for me, try to pull him into our team, and don't let the division commander snatch him away."

Xu Xiaoyong nodded, and shook his head again, "I can only do my best to do both things, I think this person is assertive, and it is difficult to change his mind." You should have tried a lot of hard work, but you also failed, right?

As for leaving him in your new group, I'm afraid you Li Yunlong won't have that much face. The division commander wants to rob people, can you keep it? ”

Li Yunlong smiled bitterly, he knew that with such a talent, the new group would not be able to stay.

If you can make grenades, can you make guns? Or do something else. Don't say that the division commander is worried, even if the brigade commander wants to rob him of people, he can't stop it!

Now he regrets a little that he didn't give people a good face when he didn't show off his family, and the relationship was not very good. Otherwise, you can also play the emotional card and ponder other ways.

Now, it's just a matter of resignation.

By the way, there may be a chance for the time being. After Li Yunlong finished talking with his old comrades-in-arms, he went straight to Yuan Chenming.

A certain person who was talking and laughing with the two female soldiers, in the face of Li Yunlong's sudden concern and condolences, was the second monk who was confused.

Isn't it just that more than a hundred grenades were processed overnight yesterday, as for that?

He didn't know Li Yunlong's flowery intestines yet.

Li Yunlong's ensuing actions flattered him even more.

"Huzi, bring me my wine."

Taking the wine jug from the guard's hand, Li Yunlong solemnly stuffed it into Yuan Chenming's hand:

"You hold this pot of wine, it's me Li Yunlong who thanks you for your contribution to our new group.

The door of the new regiment is always open for you, and I, Li Yunlong, welcome you back at any time. ”

What kind of person is Li Yunlong, he is addicted to alcohol!

It is incredible that he can take out his "stored grain" and give it away, just like a wild wolf giving away the fat meat in his mouth.

Moved is moved, but Yuan Chenming still can't guarantee anything, he can only say that he has written down this friendship.

Li Yunlong watched the propaganda team leave behind the people, and was speechless for a long time.

The old comrades-in-arms who had just met were separated again. The newly established Ordnance Service was transferred again. Just after a period of stable life, I have to be displaced again.

Zhang Dabiao appeared behind him, and Li Yunlong came out of this depressed mood: "The people in the village are all gone? ”

"It's all gone, I asked the soldiers to look for it from house to house, and there will be no omission."

Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, we should also go." The second battalion and the third battalion have already set off, and now only the first battalion has not left. ”

"yes, it's time to go." Li Yunlong waved his sleeves and turned around to give the order to the soldiers of the first battalion to set off.

In the face of such a sweep by the devils, the Eighth Route Army has long been experienced.

The enemy came, and we left. Do not fight positional warfare with them, fight a war of attrition.

In the process of troop movement, when the enemy dispersed, the flaws were revealed. Then hit him in an ambush war, a war of annihilation, and completely destroy the enemy's living force.

In Li Yunlong's words, as soon as the gunshots rang out, you have to get something back, too much is not too much, and if you have less, you will scold your mother, and we will never do the business of losing money.

Of course, sometimes in order to cover the people, there is no way to fight a sniper war.

No one wants to do such a loss-making business, but they can't watch the people being slaughtered by devils.

At that time, you can't care too much about gains and losses.

Fortunately, this time the information was timely, and the people moved in advance, and they could also let it go.
