Chapter 400: Unexpected Circumstances
Li Youde in Fallen Leaf Village can be described as a successful transformation from an abacus bead to a gun, and originally the Li family militia was transformed into a company that was his starting point, and he was both a descendant and an elite; later, two companies of puppet troops were filled to him, and the Li family militia of his company formed the foundation of the Fallen Leaf Battalion; after the fall of the Golden Scar, most of the mountain bandits took refuge in Li Youde and were organized into three companies; and Li Youde was not satisfied with this, and continued to recruit troops and horses to expand the ranks.
It is said that the devils in the north of Meixian County have been caught in work, and the security army has pulled Ding, and it is almost impossible to recruit troops again, but Li Youde just caught up with a good time. In the middle of the year, someone demolished a certain embankment of the Yellow River in Henan, flooded it, causing the Yellow River to be diverted, forming a large area of the Yellow Flood Area, the entire Yellow Flood Area from northwest to southeast, more than 400 kilometers long, flowing through Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces, and affecting 44 counties, more than 300,000 square kilometers.
The Nationalist Government's "Documentary of the Disaster Situation in a Certain Province" outlines the words of the disaster-stricken area: Because the people in the Yellow Flood Area did not know about the incident in advance, they were caught off guard, the embankment suddenly collapsed, and the torrent followed. At that time, the earth was surging, the cry shook the sky, and its tragic and painful state was really unbearable. He was lucky not to die, so he only survived the rest of his life, most of them lacked food and clothing, and his soul was terrified. The migrants are plagued by hunger and disease, and they often cross the roads and fill in the ravines, and there are not many of them.
Refugees were displaced in all directions, and in this autumn, Meixian County also migrated, and with this as the source, Li Youde set up cards everywhere and screened out a company.
This company has been formed for the shortest time, because they are all displaced victims of the disaster, and their physique is also the worst, but to Li Youde's surprise, this company is the most willing to be a puppet army! Although the guns have not yet been fully fired, and the training has not been a few days old, the tenacious will has already appeared, and they are extremely united, hateful to everything, and fight to the death when they start, and even those companies adapted from mountain bandits do not dare to provoke them.
For this reason, Li Youde has increased the treatment of this new company, which is the same as his Li family militia, and the Li family militia company is equivalent to Li Youde's Praetorian Guard, and this company, Li Youde is determined to put his heart and soul into building it, to make it his second helper.
Today, Li Youde came to this 'refugee company' to supervise the drill as usual, and Li Yong, the deputy of the battalion, hurriedly ran into the playground and brought an urgent report from the imperial army.
Yesterday, Captain Shangchuan was besieged in the mountainous area south of Niujia Village, and the letter reported that he had broken through to the south last night and planned to transfer to the north of our territory to escape. Specially order your department, respond immediately, and ensure that Captain Shangchuan is safe, 100,000 urgent!
The advance party is fleeing south, trying to get out of the mountains, using carrier pigeons to ask for help. Then the telegram was sent from Linxian to Meixian, and the time was urgent, and I was afraid that it would not be possible to send a team from the county seat, so this task was directly sent by Shaozo to Li Youde, who was closest to the mission area.
If you want to save the imperial army, you don't dare to slack off on this task, the mountains are the territory of the Eight Roads, and you don't have a bottom when you go less. Li Youde, who was in the playground, directly ordered the whole team, the Li family militia company and the refugee company stayed behind, and the other five companies immediately set off into the mountains. Li Yong's personality is frizzy, the strength of the five companies is almost all the belongings, throwing it to him is not at ease, Li Youde has to take command in person, this time he does not ride a donkey, does not wear a military uniform, is not at the head of the team, he does not dare to despise the eight roads.
The team of nearly 600 people immediately left the camp gate in a mess, and stepped into a cloud of smoke and dust!
When the Ninth Company was not at home, the Jiuzhan militia team shrank up its surveillance, and the northern secret guard was only placed east of Qingshan Village; after the Ninth Company returned, the secret guard posts west of the two mountain pass forts in Lushuipu and Luoye Village were restored. A column of more than 500 puppet troops was passing through the mountain pass continuously, and a soldier of the Eighth Route Army began to run westward along the mountain beam.
......
Two and a half hours later, the wine station.
Qin You stood up suddenly, rubbed the square table violently, and asked in a daze, "Five companies?"
A soldier half-sat on the ground holding his stomach, out of breath: "The platoon is more than a mile long, how come there are five companies, the speed is not slow, it is estimated that it will be almost to Qingshan Village at this time." ”
Hearing this, Hu Yi on the other side of the table finally stood up and shouted to the door: "Urgently assemble!" and then strode to the wall, took off his satchel and put it on his shoulder.
"I'll go and inform the other side to evacuate first!" Qin You pulled up the hat on the table and was about to run out of the door.
"Don't worry!" Hu Yi, who was equipping himself with something, called Qin You: "Li Youde may not be coming at us, I think this matter may have something to do with the advance team." Let the other side prepare for evacuation first, and wait for the order, and now send someone to the regiment to report the situation. ”
Qin Yi hurriedly left, and Hu Yi was neatly draped while thinking quickly. Li Youde has been here at the wine station, there is nothing here, there are not many people, as long as he hears the wind and runs, he can't catch anything, and he can't occupy it, so why bother to suddenly come and fight in broad daylight? Five companies, the old bottom has almost moved out, can you do this? There is only one thing that has happened in the past few days, that is, the north is searching and suppressing the advancing team, and Li Youde's biggest possibility is to rescue him!
Even so, Qingshan Village was a guerrilla zone for the Ninth Company, and the Ninth Company could not remain indifferent, and the friendly forces in the north were likely to suffer losses as a result, and although they could not afford to fight, they would have to be dragged out, entangled, or at least deprived of the concealment of Li Youde's troops in various forms such as gunfire.
The rifle strap was hung on the shoulder, and when I went out, the open space had basically been assembled, and the soldiers ran out with their equipment first, and only began to hurriedly sort out after standing in the queue, hanging water bottles, setting bullet boxes, and all kinds of busy in place.
Sun Cui's voice was ringing in the village on the other side, the people were hurriedly cleaning up, and more than a dozen militiamen were gathering there.
Hu Yi didn't wait for the soldiers in front of him to finish cleaning up, and directly spoke loudly: "This time the situation is special, Li Youde is likely to pass through Qingshan Village to the north. Now I ordered the team to be divided into three groups, one group to meet the enemy to the north with me, one group to go out of the wine station to hide and standby, and one group to stay at the wine station to prepare for defense. ”
"We have to divide this manpower again?" Qin You couldn't understand why Hu Yi wanted to split such a small number of manpower since he wanted to fight, if he didn't count the militia, he wouldn't be able to make up a platoon.
"This is for the worst plan, the attack is likely to cause Li Youde to tear his face with us, if he departs a part of his forces to go straight to the wine station, the task of the left-behind group is to rely on the pillbox to block the attack, so that the people on the other side of the river can retreat calmly. If there are not many enemies attacking the liquor station, the task of the outer concealment group is to involve the enemy attacking the liquor station behind and frustrate its purpose; if there are too many enemies attacking the liquor station, the task of the outer group will be changed to a tooth for a tooth and go out of the mountain to attack and harass the village of fallen leaves and burn Li Youde's nest!"
Qin You came to his senses at this point and stopped talking.
"Class 4, Gamalan, runny nose, follow me in a group, to the north. Mule, girl, take your two followers, for the second group, out of the drinking station hidden. Lao Qin, the rest of the people are all yours, including the militia on the other side, for three groups, I will leave Shicheng to you to guard the wine station. You remember, if you can keep it, you can keep it, if you can't keep it, you can slip away, as long as the people are gone, you can run downstream on the raft at any time. ”
At this point, the fighters had already packed up and automatically stood in three rows according to the order just given......
