Chapter 7 Firefighters
The battle took only half an hour before and after, and it only took a few minutes for Wang Ping to tell everything Yang Chengwu wanted to know. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After glancing at the chief of staff, the two of them had expressions of shock and admiration on their faces.
Because, the whole battle process is really thrilling.
If the devil doesn't underestimate the enemy and is a little cautious, Wang Ping next to him may not be able to come back.
Of course, the two of them also admired Wang Ping very much. In the face of a strong enemy, immediately find out the gap between the enemy and me, and then use your own advantages to deal with the devil's disadvantages, and finally through a fatal attack without giving the devil any chance to counterattack?
It can be seen that Wang Ping is not only very cunning and can think of various means to deal with devils, but he is also very discerning and can accurately seize the fighters that others can't see.
Soon, an afternoon passed, and the news that Wang Ping led a platoon of recruits to eliminate more than 40 devil cavalry and seize a large number of weapons and equipment had reached the ears of everyone in the headquarters.
Thanks to the thousands of catties of horse meat brought back by Wang Ping, the hundreds of people in the headquarters who usually can't even eat coarse grains will be given a bowl of steaming broth and nearly half a catty of horse meat at night, which can well dispel the fatigue of a day's journey during the day.
In this case, Wang Ping is no longer the obscure operational staff officer of the headquarters before, no matter where he goes, everyone's eyes are full of admiration when they look at him, and they all call out to Staff Officer Wang with great respect.
Wang Ping didn't want to be talked about everywhere he went, but he knew in his heart that such an ending would be very good for him.
If you have a good reputation in the headquarters, when you go out to lead troops in the future, or when you are promoted, others will not gossip.
After the devils occupied the county seat, the news that the cavalry squadron was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army then reached the ears of the devil wing commander.
In terms of strength, a cavalry squadron is not as good as an infantry squadron.
However, the cost of training a qualified cavalry squadron is significant. For the same amount of money spent on infantry, three infantry squadrons could be trained.
In addition, there is only one cavalry squadron in the entire wing, and the anger of the wing commander who learned the news can be imagined.
Although it was already dark, in order to find the Eighth Route Army and avenge the cavalry squadron, the wing commander resolutely sent an infantry brigade to search for traces of the Eighth Route Army around the county with squadrons and squads as units.
The Japanese army's every move was soon sent to Yang Chengwu by the intelligence officer.
After eating horse meat, drinking broth, and resting for two or three hours, everyone had a much less tired look on their faces.
Yang Chengwu decisively ordered the troops to continue to move deeper into the forest, avoiding the search and detection of the devils.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the team stopped to rest.
After fighting during the day and rushing all night, Wang Ping, who had a poor foundation, was also very tired. So, as soon as the team stopped, he seized the time to rest.
But less than half an hour after sleeping, the headquarters guard woke himself up.
"Staff Officer Wang, in case of emergency, the commander asked you to go over and report immediately!"
Seeing that several people in the headquarters were all frowning, Yang Chengwu walked around with his hands behind his back, looking very anxious, Wang Ping hurriedly asked.
"Commander, Wang Ping was ordered to report, is there something wrong!"
Seeing Wang Ping, Yang Chengwu seemed to see a solution, and his brows suddenly relaxed: "We lost a group of people, doctors and nurses from the field hospital, a total of eight female comrades, three doctors and five nurses. You don't know, these three doctors are the only ones in our field hospital who can perform surgery, and there must be no accidents, otherwise many wounded will not survive! ”
Although Yang Chengwu didn't say it explicitly, he still figured out the meaning of his words, that is, to let himself save all the eight people who were lost.
Wang Ping's brows furrowed, and he immediately asked, "When did they get lost!" ”
"I sent someone to check just now, but no one saw them in the first half of the night, it must have been that the troops forgot them in the temporary camp when they were on the way!"
The chief of staff next to him explained: "There are too many people in the headquarters, and there are many departments, and no one will notice when there are a few fewer people when retreating." It wasn't until the number of people counted by various departments just now that I knew that there were eight female comrades missing from the field hospital! ”
Wang Ping did not hesitate, and replied bluntly: "They must have overslept and did not transfer with the headquarters." What worries me most now is that they have fallen into the hands of devils. ”
"Commander, we must hurry, you give me ten people, and I will go find them and come back!"
In order for the wounded of the First Army Division to receive timely treatment in the future, Yang Chengwu was rare and generous, and gave Wang Ping the right to choose his subordinates and weapons.
Because no one knew whether the eight people had been captured by the devils, Wang Ping was not polite, and asked for five people from the recruit company, including Zeng Quan and Zhong Yusheng, and then selected five veterans and guards from the headquarters.
Each of them was given a captured rifle, 50 rounds of ammunition, three grenades, and by the way, a light machine gun and 300 rounds of machine gun ammunition, and walked back under the envious and worried gazes of others in the headquarters.
The speed was much faster during the day, and the group only walked for five hours to reach the temporary campsite last night.
"Counselor Wang, there are blood stains in front of you, and there is a corpse, it is likely that it is the female comrade we are looking for, and it was stabbed to death with a bayonet, the little devil must have been here!" Zeng Quan, who was scouting in front, ran back with a solemn face and reported.
Wang Ping ran forward for dozens of meters before he saw the corpse, and then, with anger and worry, he carefully looked around.
"It must be the little devils, the remaining seven doctors and nurses must have been captured by the devils. There are traces left by the retreat of the devils, and we will immediately catch up with them and bring them back, and the field hospital cannot do without them. Wang Ping made a decision immediately.
The devils who searched all night were also very tired, caught a few female eight roads, and also seized a lot of surgical tools, and the leader of the devil team instantly understood that these female eight roads were doctors and nurses, and they were more important big fish than ordinary eight roads.
In order to send these people back to the county seat safely, the team leader, who was afraid of accidents on the road, decisively ordered his subordinates to rest for a few hours first, and then send these women back to the county seat after everyone had enough spirits.
Wang Ping, who followed the retreat of the Japanese army, soon found the devil's camp.
"It's not good, the remaining seven female comrades have been captured by devils, and there is a whole infantry squad of devil soldiers, we are definitely not opponents!" Zeng Quan, who had fought with the devil, reported with a solemn face.
Ten subordinates looked at Wang Ping at the same time.
Zhong Yusheng, who was carrying a crooked handle, was the first to stand up and asked: "Staff Officer Wang, you are not afraid of dozens of devil cavalry, you must have a way for a squad of devil soldiers!" ”
Wang Ping's solemn face directly showed a wry smile, and then replied: "You think too highly of me, if the devil is so easy to destroy, it will not kill our Chinese army and retreat!" ”
"What then? Could it be that watching the seven female comrades being caught back by the devil, the devil is not as good as the beast, and there will definitely be no good end if it falls into the hands of the devil! Zhong Yusheng shouted with a face full of unwillingness.
Wang Ping's face quickly became gloomy, as a soul traveler, no one knew better than him the crimes committed by the devils in China.
You don't have to think about it to know the possible outcome of several women falling into the hands of devils.
"No, you must not let the devil arrest them back, it will be worse than death, you must save them from the devil!" Wang Ping said with a firm face.
