After climbing the last hill, I saw the ruins in the sun, and the large green around the ruins.

Then the little girl ran out and ran to the crop field, Wu Shishi looked at Hu Yi, who was walking slower and slower, and went forward to chase the girl. More than a dozen villagers who were busy in the fields raised their heads from afar, gradually saw the people coming clearly, and continued to lower their heads, sweating in the sun, they heard the news that the crops might not be saved, but they were reluctant to put down their hoes.

Walking slower and slower, he finally stopped and stood on the high post to watch quietly.

The desolate ruins, the thriving crops, the graves on the hillside, one by one, were blinded by the sun, and even the thin and narrow under the curly brim of the hat had to be squinted and oozing with sweat.

The pigtails running in the green to catch insects, the peasants sweating in the sun, and a few birds flying through the windless suggest that the eye is not drawn, but drawn in.

I always come here to have a look before I go back to the wine station, but this time I don't have to pray for a reward.

......

Before crossing the open field, a bear had already crawled out of the bunker early, stood in the sun, and looked over with a sly smile: "Boss Hu...... I miss you, hehehehe......"

Before he crossed the woods, Shi Cheng trotted up to meet him: "Platoon leader, you're back, does your injury matter?"

As soon as he walked into the open space, Liu Jianqiang hurriedly ran out of the door of the house, his complexion did not look too good, and he came to Hu Yi's side and stood upright: "Squad leader, I think we must guard the crops, and we must not let Li Youde, a despicable traitor, succeed!"

Hu Yi looked at Liu Jianqiang, neither nodded nor shook his head, and asked calmly: "Why is your complexion worse than me?

"No...... It was too hot and I had a bit of a heat stroke two days ago. ”

Hu Yi nodded this time, the mule didn't mention the runny nose to fight for the long queue, and now the runny nose didn't mention the bad behavior of the mule trying to occupy the cans, it seems that these two goods are not stupid to the end, and they know that it is enough to stop. Hu Yi didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to the big tree in the middle of the clearing, where Ma Liang had just brought a basin of washing water and a broken towel and placed them on the bench under the tree.

took off his hat and rolled up his sleeves, splashed a lot of cool dust in the basin, and then asked Ma Liang while wiping the water with a towel: "What do you think?"

"Li Youde is not a good person! He himself is a granary, but he wants to come to us to destroy grain, I think he is taking advantage of us to become addicted, and wants to wait for us to beg for food after the autumn, and continue to sell blood for him!"

The regiment commander looked at this problem from the perspective of the independent regiment, Hu Yi looked at this problem from his own perspective, and Ma Liang looked at the problem from Li Youde's perspective. But no matter how you look at it, now that the order has been received, Hu Yi, as a platoon commander, is not suitable to express his own views again.

sighed and threw down the towel: "Even if Li Youde doesn't destroy it, the devil will have to come sooner or later." ”

"That's different! I can't keep it, I die. He Li Youde is both a bitch and a memorial arch, and he takes credit from the devil and is different from us pretending to be good people, destroying crops and killing people?"

Hu Yi didn't think so, but now Ma Liang couldn't answer correctly, and reluctantly moved out the words he had been educated by Su Qing: "Without land, there are no crops, and land is hope." When will this land not be invaded, and when will there be hope. Do you understand?

Ma Liang was a little stunned, how could he feel that the horizontal and vertical did not match when these words came out of the platoon commander's mouth? There was a strong sense of consciousness, the only people in the All-Independent Regiment who could say such high-level words were the political commissar and the Su officer, right? Could it be that he ......

"What are you stunned, go and call everyone to me, have a meeting!"

......

One of the 10 bandit prisoners sent by the 2nd Company was killed by the militia of Jiuzhan Village because the investigation showed that he had committed a heinous crime; one was released because his past background was undocumented, and he was not at ease and was afraid that he would be wronged; and the remaining 8 had a future of reform, and they were sent across the river and returned to the 9th Platoon.

According to the level of marksmanship, Hu Yi selected five veterans from the second and third squads, handed over 79 rifles and shell guns, and distributed the five 38 large covers captured this time and incorporated them into Shi Cheng's first squad; the captured Czech machine guns were handed over to the stammering Zhao Liang for use, and Zhao Liang was transferred from the ninth squad to the first squad; Zhao Liang was assigned a deputy shooter and a shell gun from the unassigned recruits, and he joined the first squad together, and four shell guns were withdrawn from the first squad.

In this way, with the addition of a squad of veterans who had recovered from their wounds, Shi Cheng's squad became the largest squad of 14 veterans with a new recruit, with 13 bayonet 38 large cover rifles, 6 shell guns, and 1 Czech light machine gun, becoming the backbone of the ninth platoon.

The remaining unassigned recruits were all divided into the second and third squads, and they were divided into two ten-man infantry squads, all of which were issued with seventy-nine rifles. Because bayonets and shell guns were insufficient, they were issued alternately, either with bayonets or with short guns to equalize them.

Chen Chong's team already had three guns, and the remaining seven 79 rifles were just filled for Chen Chong, and temporarily renamed the fourth squad.

All those in the platoon with 38 large covers in their hands were prepared with 120 rounds of ammunition; veterans who used 79 rifles were prepared with 50 rounds of ammunition, and new recruits were prepared with 20 rounds of ammunition; Chen Chong's fourth squad was treated with the same ammunition as the new recruits. Zhao Liang's machine gun has 100 rounds of ammunition, only two magazines, Hu Yi did not give him a balance from Luo Fugui's machine gun, even because the magazine is small and because he does not have a spare barrel, 100 rounds of ammunition is enough to fight for a while; Luo Fugui's machine gun has no ammunition reserve, anyway, it is never less than 200, as for the upper limit, it depends on how much the bear is willing to carry.

Armed belts, bullet boxes, bullet belts, water bottles, lunch boxes, these things are all allocated by veterans according to seniority, and if they are enough, the rest will be taken by the recruits. Grenades and grenades were given priority to the second squad with runny noses, two per person, and then handed over to the five squad leaders to be distributed once per person according to their needs. That is, the second shift was divided into two grenades.

The newly captured six sapper shovels are divided into two each, and the grenadiers and grenades are all handed over to Li Xiang for collection, not that he doesn't want to set up another group of grenadiers, the key is that the tuition fee is too expensive, and there are not many ways to get grenades, how many grenades Li Xiang has hit, and it is not accurate enough at present, if he compares with the devil, he is at most a grenadier recruit. I really can't afford to fight, let alone the ninth platoon, the whole regiment can come out Li Xiang, a grenadier like Li Xiang, can be regarded as burning high incense.

The only thing that no one wants is those 16 steel helmets, who likes to wear them with cumbersome and troublesome wearing? It is better to carry a hat on their backs! Only the girls in the whole platoon are forced to wear one, and the mules who are afraid of death hang one. Hu Yi has long noticed this conspicuous problem, this time it can be solved, thanks to the little girl, each person in a class will be given a top, and the remaining one will go to Li Xiang, you must wear it in battle, you have to wear it if you don't want to, and you have to give it a death order. Call this for everyone's sake, the fighters are secretly wronged, then why don't you wear it yourself!

After the meeting ended, the wine station was busy, and Zhao Liang stammered and ran low-key after being instructed by Hu Yi. There are veterans who drag Ma Liang and don't let go, crying and saying goodbye and can't bear to separate, as if the first class is a distant place. Liu Jianqiang followed behind Hu Yi's ass and kept saying that bayonets and short guns were not enough, and that he should also assign the third class to him, and he would not go back to teach his recruits until he was kicked. Shi Cheng's face was originally happy, but as soon as the steel helmet arrived in his hand, he began to feel upset, and he sat helplessly on the ground and grinded Huang Junxing on the steel helmet with stones.

Hu Yi finally handed over the eight-bullet chicken leg to the little girl, asked her to give the gun to Sun Cui, and asked her to teach Sun Cui how to use the gun and the problems that this gun is prone to.

......

In the middle of the night, everything is silent, and the moonlight is like water. There seemed to be a fire burning the night sky in the dark and ruined ruins.

In the bonfire, a man in black sat under the ruins, throwing broken wood into the fire in boredom, and surprisingly, that delicate face was still wearing a pair of delicate round sunglasses, and the inky black lenses reflected two bright fires, which was extremely absurd.

"Light a fire at three watches in the middle of the night, you are so interested!"

He lifted his face and saw through his sunglasses a tall soldier on the other side of the firelight, the brim of his hat curled delicately, as perverse as his thick eyebrows and thin eyes.

"What's the matter with me?" he threw the broken piece of wood into the fire again.

"Do you see the road with that on your face?" the soldier sat down across the campfire and slipped the M1932 into his holster.

"You don't understand my world!" he turned his gaze back to the campfire, and the lenses brightened again.

"I need the location of the devil's grain depot, as well as the route and regularity of the transportation. I'm talking about the bulk ones. ”

"It's not the autumn harvest yet, isn't it the right time for you to ask?"

"Plan ahead. I'll have to ask you sooner or later. ”

"I remember...... Don't you have a leg with my brother, and his food can be used as firewood, can you stop tossing me?"

"You just say you can't do it, right?"

"No, I don't. The imperial army treats me well, how can I be ungrateful. ”

The soldier smiled faintly, didn't say anything more, picked up the broken wood next to him, and threw it into the campfire.

They sat quietly on either side of the fire, all staring at the campfire in a daze.

After a long time, he suddenly asked the soldier: "Do you have a leg with Sister Su?

"Didn't she sue you already. ”

"Alas—it seems...... I'm a little better than you. ”

The soldier raised his eyes and looked at the pair of sunglasses through the firelight speechlessly.

The face under the sunglasses smiled proudly: "That's right, this is what Lin Xiu gave me!"

The soldier was expressionless for a while, and then suddenly said, "I think...... Her purpose is to hope that you, a traitor, will fall to your death. ”

Then the two of them began to watch the campfire in silence again, and neither of them spoke again.

Maybe fifteen minutes later, maybe half an hour, the man in black stood up first, patted the dust on his hands and broke the silence: "The autumn harvest is the day of sweeping. Then he turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped and said, "I have already reported this place to the imperial army in Dabeizhuang." Then he strode into the darkness.

The soldier picked up a stone and stood up violently, but unfortunately there was no target in the range of the fire, so he had to throw down the stone and sigh deeply, and turned to the south. Before he could take a few steps, the screams of falling could be heard in the darkness of the east not far away......
