From Ningguo to Pengze, the troops of the 11th Division had to travel a distance of 300 kilometers, and for the 11th Division, the test had just begun.

"Move forward at a steady pace and maintain your strength."

"Heavy machine guns, machine guns, mortars, replace them every ten minutes, and let every brother help."

Feng Ye kept reminding everyone that the light of the torch did not shine widely in the heavy rain, and the long fire dragon stretched towards Ning Guo, although Feng Ye already knew that the other troops of the 31st Brigade would not wait for him, but he still looked at Ning Guo unconsciously.

"Boom la la ......"

The thunder and lightning were gone, and the rain was not as heavy as it had just begun, Feng Ye wiped the rain from his face, and continued to move forward with heavy steps.

"Poof!"

The heavy shoes were covered with slippery clay, and as they passed through the puddles, the brethren unconsciously stepped into them, trying to wash the clay off their feet by the stagnant water. One of the brothers failed to stabilize his body and fell directly into the mud.

"Get up, it's okay!"

The two brothers who followed him stopped and helped the fallen brother to his feet, and if he twisted his foot, he would have to be left to wait for the baggage troops behind.

"It's okay, I can go!"

The invisible face is full of shyness, this is a new recruit, and his body has been accustomed to falling on various roads for many years, and such a fall will not make his ankle hurt.

"Huhuhu......"

The breath exhaled by the brethren was invisible on a rainy night, in which they could only hear the sound of their own breathing, and their ears were filled with the sound of the rain.

In this kind of weather, Feng Yi gave up the move of sending scouts to explore the road, this is the rear, there is no big army of devils, even if there are devils' spies, they don't dare to attack the big army.

On long marches, it is impossible for any officer to keep his troops at full speed at the beginning, and it is good that they can maintain a speed of three kilometers per hour.

Braving the rain is not only a test of the resilience of the troops, but also a test of the commander's control over the troops; Feng Ye had been walking for three hours with his troops, just crossed Ningguo, and continued to march towards Huangshan; The three companies he led were recruits who had just finished training, and they abandoned the baggage troops, and the speed would definitely be a little faster than the regimental troops, and as for when they could catch up with the main force in front, Feng Yi didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Battalion commander, it's been four hours of continuous marching, is it for the brethren to take a breather?"

Wang Ning reminded Feng Ye that it was not that he couldn't persevere, but that he was worried about those recruits.

"The next town will stop and repair, and find a place to shelter from the rain, so that the brothers can drink hot water and have a good rest."

Feng Yi raised his head to feel the rain, this rain could not be stopped in a short time, there were still more than 100 kilometers away from Huangshan in front, so he was not in a hurry.

"Brothers, the battalion commander said, stop and repair in the next town, everyone work hard! When you get to town, take a good rest. ”

The officers who received the order shouted loudly to cheer up the recruits.

"One row, go out to find a place for the brothers to repair, and you don't have to wait for the brothers in the back."

Gao Yurong shouted loudly, letting his row go forward, in his impression, there should be a town not far ahead, just next to the avenue.

The soldiers who had hope involuntarily quickened their pace, and they ran in the heavy rain.

"Huhuhu......"

An hour and a half later, a small town finally appeared in a bonfire, and the brothers who had arrived there had lit a huge bonfire to show the way to the brothers behind.

"Scout Company, the two courtyards on the left."

"Supplementary company and engineer company, four courtyards on the right."

The veteran standing at the entrance of the town shouted loudly, these courtyards were vacated for them by the residents here, and there have been troops passing by in the town recently, and the chief of security here has already formulated a strategy, how many people are coming, vacate those houses? There is a plan for where the chiefs will live, etc.

"Battalion commander, this is the security chief here."

Seeing Feng Ye appear in the bonfire, the veteran pointed to the middle-aged man wearing a coat and a hat behind his back.

"I'm sorry for your trouble, we'll leave when the rain lightens!"

Feng Ye nodded, staying here for a while is an unplanned matter.

"The chief is polite, they are all contributing to the war of resistance; Several large families in the town have raised a little food and are preparing hot porridge for the brothers, but it is too late to prepare anything else, so please forgive me, sir. ”

The chief of the security guard trembled and led Feng Yi inside.

"Sir, please come inside."

The chief of the security guard led Feng Ye directly through the noisy courtyards, where the brothers were taking off their soaked military uniforms and shirtless one by one, letting the bonfire dry their wet bodies, as for the clothes, they didn't plan to dry them.

"Battalion commander, several big families in the town have prepared hot food for you at the town office, and they want to see you."

Wang Ning jumped out from the side, looked at Feng Yi who had stopped, and explained in a low voice.

"Okay, let's take a look!"

Feng Yi understood these local people very well, they were afraid that the discipline of these soldiers would be lax, and they wanted to block the commander's mouth first, so that they would not harm the people in the town.

"Sir, the contemptible head of Zhufeng Township, the chief has worked hard all the way, please inside."

A middle-aged man wearing a Mao suit and a blue sky and white sun badge on his chest greeted Feng Yi at the door of the town office, followed by several men who were also wearing Mao suits.

"The township chief is polite, please!"

Feng Ye was not polite, and stepped into the town office with the wet rain.

"Sir, there are clean clothes for you."

The township chief politely pointed to the room next to the town office, which was lit with dim candles.

"Thank you!"

Feng Yi walked in, not polite, wearing a soaked military uniform, very unhappy, since someone prepared clothes for himself, then he was not polite.

Putting on clean clothes, the shell gun and rifle were carried back by Feng Ye, and the muddy military uniform was carried away by two women to wash it.

"Prepare a little thin wine, and please don't blame the chief!"

When Feng Ye came out, a round table in the lobby of the town office was already full of wine and food, waiting for him to take the table.

"We don't need to drink alcohol, and when the rain lights down, we have to continue on our way, and we will be grateful if we have a hot food to eat."

Feng Yi frowned and sat down, he didn't like wine very much, this thing was a big taboo in wartime.

"Wang Ning, let the brothers hurry up and rest, and as soon as the rain becomes lighter, we will set off immediately."

Feng Yi waved his hand and asked Wang Ning to go back and give the order.

"Yes!"

Wang Ning looked at the things on the table, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reluctantly left, he still couldn't mix the delicious food.

When Wang Ning returned to the courtyard where the brothers were staying, the brothers who had been walking in the rain for several hours were desperately stuffing hot ginger soup in their hands and wet dry food in their hands; They are very tired, eat quickly and then get some sleep, which is what they need most.
