Xuancheng, where the Japanese garrison was stationed, was already weak and inaudible when the gunfire reached here forty kilometers away, and the devils were not alert.

"Quick, quick, run."

In the darkness, the officers of the 31st Brigade were urging in a low voice, and the sound of gunfire was gone, which proved that the battle ahead was going well, and everyone was running forward, and the messy footsteps and heavy wheezing were intertwined, and now they had to hurry up and cross the avenue and get as far as possible.

All the brethren understood that once the little devils knew that they were coming, they would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress them, and then it would be a naught to reach Langxi quietly, and it would be more difficult to carry out operations behind enemy lines.

The corpses of the messy men in black lay on the ground, the brothers of the third company who launched the assault did not suffer any casualties, the brothers who killed people for the first time had different reactions, the veterans were collecting the things on the corpses, bullets, guns, cigarettes and other things, there was nothing to dislike, they were behind enemy lines now, and they might lack everything in the future.

"Hurry up, dig out the explosives, the detonator is closed"

The team of more than 5,000 people has all disappeared into the darkness, and after the three battalions and one company are in charge, the company commander is directing the sappers to dig out the explosives bags that have just been buried, and since the enemy is not coming, there is no need to stay here and waste it.

A thrilling battle made the 31st Brigade easily continue on the road, except for the consumption of a few hundred rounds of ammunition and a dozen grenades, there was no loss, marching along the main road, there are still nearly 30 kilometers ahead to reach Langxi, fortunately, Feng Ye finally returned to the normal marching army, and now it is the 61st Regiment that is responsible for road exploration and reconnaissance.

At dawn, the 31st Brigade finally arrived at Langxi, there were two policemen in the closed gate of Langxi County, dozing off against the city wall with rifles on their backs, not so much that they were guarding the county seat, but that they were here to prevent devils from suddenly entering the city, and at least they could give an early warning and let the county magistrate retreat in advance.

"Brigade commander, both gates are closed, but there are two very large gaps in the city wall, enough to get in."

The commander of the reconnaissance company of the brigade headquarters reported the latest situation to Mei Chunhua.

"Send a few brothers into the city to investigate, don't alarm the people inside, be careful."

Mei Chunhua did not order the brother to let the police in Langxi open the door and let him in, he was now waiting for news of Feng Yi, who had crossed Langxi to investigate.

"Report."

Feng Yi returned faster with light reconnaissance.

"What's the situation ahead, is there a devil?"

Mei Chunhua asked anxiously.

"No devils were found, and the villages along the route were basically empty, and there were rotting corpses everywhere."

Feng Yi frowned and reported.

"It seems that the devil left here because of the disaster."

"What do you two think, should you wait for dark in Langxi City, or continue on the road?"

Mei Chunhua doesn't know what to do now, the team is too difficult to hide, I'm afraid that the devil will find out as soon as it dawns.

"Brigadier Commander, you can do it"

Both regiment commanders were from the regular army, and they only knew how to carry out orders in peacetime, and they were used to positional warfare, and now let them fight guerrilla warfare, to be honest, they really can't react.

"Brigade commander, I suggest continuing to set off, go to the village two kilometers away to hide, and when the rest is good, we can let the brothers enter the mountains and forests around Tianmu Lake in batches, and we will assemble there again."

Feng Yi whispered his suggestion.

"Do you have any opinions" Mei Chunhua stared at the few officers around him, and everyone shook their heads together, they didn't have any way at this time, so what opinions did they dare to have.

The misty light finally arrived through the night, and the sky was almost dawning, and under Mei Chunhua's urging, thousands of brothers worked together to get the supplies to this village full of corpses.

"Order the sapper battalion, clean up the village, and bury all the bodies; Commander Long, a platoon of guard posts was sent in all directions, and six hundred meters were released, and the guard was changed every two hours, and any situation was reported immediately. ”

Mei Chunhua looked at the dilapidated village, and now there was no choice but to stop here, because it was already dawn.

"Yes" Long Zuocai turned around and began to set up a guard, as for the engineer battalion of the brigade headquarters, it was already digging a pit in the field next to the village.

"Gollum"

The brethren who marched all night were exhausted and greedily drank the last cold water from the kettle.

"Head Yin, seal the well in the village, and find another source of living water."

Mei Chunhua was afraid that the well in the village would be put into it by the devils, and if the brothers drank it, I am afraid it would not be as simple as getting sick.

The point is that now they don't dare to raise the fire, for fear that the smoke will attract the attention of the people around them, and if they attract the secret agents of the devils, it will be troublesome.

"Tell the logistics team to distribute dry food and not to raise the fire."

Mei Chunhua asked the logistics staff of the brigade headquarters to hurry up and implement it, since he left Ningguo, Mei Chunhua has never had an easy time, and he has to consider every bit, he is afraid that his team will be intercepted on the way, which will lead to the failure of the entire Suwan detachment.

Now this area is an enemy war zone, there are devils' eyeliner everywhere, the march of such a large-scale army cannot be exposed on the way, as long as it reaches the Tianmu Lake area, it will be easy to do, how to act, how to complete the task, that is what Ye Peigao should consider.

The brothers were tired enough after running all night, and all the mess was thrown out of the dilapidated house, and the brothers fell asleep after eating dry food, and they survived the first day of the enemy war zone without danger.

In the evening, the 31st Brigade continued to march along the planned route with supplies, and they were still more than 20 kilometers away from the mountains and forests of Tianmu Lake.

At this moment, the border in Anhui Province has just been occupied by devils, and except for some plain areas and cities along the highways, the control over the rural and mountainous devils is still very weak.

Since it is behind enemy lines, but there are thousands of troops fighting guerrillas here, if a large force always acts, sooner or later it will be discovered by the devils, and it will be a matter of time before the devils advance and suppress them.

In China's own territory, these brothers became more and more frightened, because a large number of villages had been reduced to ruins, and the devil's destructive power was so strong that it was impossible for them to even seek information from the common people.

"Click"

A wheelbarrow finally failed to handle the heavy load, and in the efforts of the brothers, it fell apart, and several wooden boxes fell to the ground.

"Second Company, pack up the ammunition box, pack up all the ammunition scattered on the ground, and let the brothers carry it on their backs."

The officers who followed immediately gave an order, they all walked here, there was no loss of supplies, and there were only a dozen kilometers ahead, so it was even more impossible to give up.
