Section 16 The Storm Rises Again

"Woo... "With the hoarse sound of the train, the fully loaded body finally slowed down, and then under the cover of night, the train stopped in the platform.

A noisy sound sounded, and from time to time there were deliberately suppressed shouts and reprimands from the officers, although it was night, it was impossible for the devil's plane to go out, but everything was absolute, and now it was not far from the battlefield, they did not dare to pin their lives on the enemy's thoughts, and could only strangle all threats in the cradle.

Cheng Yong held * tightly in his hand, and the inseparable arch guard was on the side of the regiment commander's stone, and around him, the guards and soldiers of the guard platoon used their bodies to forge a line of defense, and surrounded the stone to death.

9mm caliber Bergman MP18*, the safety has long been opened, the 32 bullets in the magazine, as long as Cheng Yong pulls the trigger, it can roar out, although Cheng Yong knows that he is surrounded by his own people, but his cold expression shows a trace of absoluteness, as long as there is a dangerous situation, I am afraid he will not hesitate to fire.

Shi seemed to feel the nervousness of the guards beside him, he turned his head and said to Cheng Yong: "Yongzi, relax, this is Shanggao, there are almost more than 200 miles away from Nanchang, and the devil's troops have not killed here so quickly." ”

Cheng Yong nodded solemnly, but he didn't relax any vigilance, not even a word of superfluous words, and put all his mind on the surrounding situation.

Shi also seemed to know that his guard platoon commander was really helpless, and couldn't help but continue: "I sent a letter from your family last time, and I heard that it was for you to go back and get married?" It's just that I didn't expect us to go to war so soon, I'm afraid we will delay your wedding. ”

"Tuanzao, the country is in trouble, as a soldier, how can I abolish the public for personal reasons, I have already replied to my family, if I don't drive the devil back to the East for a day, I won't be a family for a day." Cheng Yong finally spoke.

Shi smiled bitterly and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yongzi, that's what I said, but who knows how many years this battle will take?" Look at the current situation of the devil, sweeping half of China in a year and a half, if you want to win this battle, it is difficult! I don't know if we'll ever see this day in our lifetimes. After a pause, Shi said in a deep voice: "So, when this battle is over, you will be given a month's leave to go back to complete the marriage, and the old man will have a hope and a support." ”

Cheng Yong was moved in his heart, but he still shook his head and said: "Tuanzao, the brothers are bleeding hard, how can I go back alone to enjoy happiness, I can't do this kind of thing." ”

The stone thought for a moment, then grinned and chuckled: "Let's talk about these things after this battle, if you lose your life, it's useless to say anything now, if you can survive, it will be my reward for you." Last time, the Military Commission awarded Brigade Commander Zhang a fourth-class Yunlu Medal, I don't have that thing, and I don't know how to get it, so I'll give you a holiday, not only you, when the whole regiment takes turns on vacation, if you have a home, go home to see your parents and relatives, if you don't have a home, go to the city to see, and spend all the military salaries, live vigorously, and die without regrets. ”

Cheng Yong finally nodded and replied: "The group seat has to be counted, if the whole group is on holiday, then I have to go home." ”

Shi Ye laughed and said, "When did you see me talking?" ”

At this time, the voice of Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai came from afar: "Tuanzao, what is so happy?" It's been rare to hear you laugh so loudly lately. ”

Stone smiled, "Really? Usually I smile very little? ”

Wu Zihuai had already walked in front of the stone at the moment of these words, looked at the red light on the stone and smiled: "I didn't say this alone, the brothers in the regiment can see it." It seems that it is better to have a battle, and as soon as there is a battle, the regiment commander will smile, and we don't have to tremble all day long. ”

The stone couldn't help but say helplessly: "What? Brother Wu, isn't it scary that I don't smile? ”

Wu Zihuai smiled: "It's not that you look scary, it's the rank on your collar and the nameplate on your chest that are scary, you are a general now, we people, who dares to be presumptuous in front of a general with a serious face?" Don't you want your head anymore? ”

The stone stretched out his hand and slapped him and said, "Okay, Brother Wu, you are also a lieutenant colonel now, and if you win a few more battles, you will soon be promoted to the rank of general, and if you don't laugh at that time, others will be afraid." ”

Wu Zihuai shook his head with a smile and said: "Tuanzuo, do you really think that the rank of general is so easy to be promoted, many people stay in the position of colonel for a few years or more than ten years, there are not enough military achievements, there are not enough opportunities, it is impossible to be promoted, people like us, it is the greatest luxury to be able to mix with a general and wait for death with qualifications after getting old." ”

Looking at the stone as if he wanted to say something, Wu Zihuai couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, the brigade seat has just had an order down." ”

When Shi heard this, he was not surprised, and obviously expected that after arriving here from Changsha, Shangfeng must have arrangements and deployments, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then asked, "What does the brigade say?" Is it for us to rest on the spot in the upper heights? ”

Wu Zihuai shook his head and said, "Let's gather here and rest for an hour, and then immediately move in the direction of Gao'an." ”

Shi restrained the smile on his face, frowned and asked, "Move to Gao'an overnight?" As he spoke, he groaned, paced slowly, and asked after a while, "Is there any news from the Japanese army?" ”

Wu Zihuai whispered: "There is no too exact news, but I have heard a little, it is said that the devil began to launch a general attack on Wucheng on the 17th, and even called warships from Poyang Lake, the 32nd Army held there for five or six days, I heard that it was lost before yesterday, but Wucheng is very close to the Xiushui River, and it can reach the north bank of the Xiushui River in one day, and the Japanese army from the Nanxun line to the south gathered on the first line of Yanfang Town and Meitang Town a few days ago, as for the situation on the first line of the Xiushui River, We haven't heard from here yet. ”

"Wu Cheng!" Shi read for a moment, and then said categorically: "Bring the map." ”

Cheng Yong on the side was extremely agile, and at a very fast speed, he took out a map from his carry-on package and spread it out on the spot, and a guard found an oil lamp from the side to light it, and the stone was just in the dim light, looking at the map marked with dense markings, on it, just the criss-crossing lines were enough to make people's scalp tingle, but the stone was extremely fascinating.

"Below Wucheng is Lao Ya Zhou, which is also the defense line of the 32nd Army, since a small Wu City, it will take five or six days for the devils to take it, and the first line of Lao Ya Zhou, obviously the devils cannot easily take it, so it is unlikely that it will go straight to Nanchang from the eastern front, this is a restraining force." As he said to himself, Shi stared at the map with his eyes, and suddenly, he slammed his fist on the map and said loudly: "Brother Wu, immediately gather troops and rush to Gao'an." ”

Wu Zihuai was obviously taken aback by the sudden movement of the stone, and he couldn't help asking, "Stone, don't you take a break?" ”

"There's no time, we're still about 100 miles away from Gao'an, if we run fast now, we can still rush to Gao'an City before dawn, whether we can get ahead of the devil or not, we can only resign ourselves to fate." Shi said, and suddenly said to Cheng Yong: "Go and tell Liu Wenfeng that the first battalion is lightly armed, all the baggage and heavy weapons are thrown away, everyone only carries rifles and a day's rations and sets off immediately, don't stop on the road, no matter what method he uses, he must occupy Gao'an City in the shortest possible time, otherwise this battle will not be able to fight." ”

Wu Zihuai listened silently, and it wasn't until Shishi's order was given that he asked puzzledly, "Tuanza, is there something wrong?" ”

Shi shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, we don't know the battle situation in front of us now, and we don't know where the devil fought, but one thing is clear, the devil has launched a diversion attack on the eastern front, then, the general offensive will definitely begin, and even I think before this, the devil has already launched an attack, but we haven't received the news until now, and I don't know if the peak doesn't want us to know, or the news hasn't been passed at all, we are too far away from the battlefield now, if the devil has broken through the Xiushui River defense line, If we go south before we do, we may be blocked in the south of Gao'an, and when the time comes, we will not be able to get close to the surroundings of Nanchang at all. In any case, Gao'an City must be in our hands, otherwise, we will rush over from Changsha, not to fight, but to send us to death. ”

Wu Zihuai thought about it, and didn't say anything more, Shangfeng's order was to let them rest here for an hour and set off, the regiment commander just made a change, a little less rest time, and let the first battalion travel lightly and set off first, it is not a big problem, after all, there are too many unexpected situations on the battlefield, as the regiment commander, this right is still there.

"Captain Shi is not here?" At this moment, an unfamiliar voice came from a distance, and several figures walked quickly towards them.

Shi glanced at Wu Zihuai suspiciously, and Cheng Yong on the side put away the map quite vigilantly, and commanded a platoon of guards to surround him, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Wu Zihuai thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "It seems that it is Staff Officer Li from the division headquarters, who was in a hurry when he got on the bus from Changsha, and you were not in the regiment headquarters, so you were received by Lin Tuanfu." ”

Shi sighed lightly, it turned out to be a staff officer supervising the war, which is not surprising, after all, no matter where the battle is fought, it seems that the staff officer will be sent over, mainly to prevent the lower face from retreating and disobeying military discipline. However, Shi Shi frowned the next moment and asked, "Does this Staff Officer Li have anything to do with Li Tianxia?" ”

Wu Zihuai smiled bitterly and said, "It is said to be Li Tianxia's cousin." ”

Hearing this, Shi couldn't help but snort coldly: "Okay! Very good! ”

At this time, under the escort of the two guards, this Staff Officer Li had already arrived in front of the stone, and the first sentence he said made everyone on the side change their color: "Commander Shi, just got out of the car, you disobeyed the military order?" ”
