The two trucks started so swaggeringly, and even the headlights were turned on, it was so blatant.

Some of the vigilant stickmen noticed the movement.

"It's so late, and they're still on a mission."

"Thank them for their hard work."

"The Chinese are surrounded by us, it should be us who suffer, they are at least in the rear, you know, the Chinese do not have heavy firepower, they are safe."

There was a slight silence.

"You're right, we may be worse than them, at least they won't face the terrible Chinese."

Looking at the two cars that were moving away, they probably never thought that it was their enemy who drove these two trucks away.

As Xia Yuan thought, it was impossible for the Chinese to carry supplies on their positions, or even swagger to drive a truckload of supplies away, and these soldiers preferred to believe that this was their own people on a mission, after all, there had been cases of truck drivers operating at night before.

The truck drifted away, away from the Stickmen's position.

Lao Yang and the others sat in the car, their nervous mood was put down at once, just the car started, and the lights were on, but they were startled, thinking that they were going to be discovered by the enemy, and then there was nothing, under the nose of the enemy, the truck just drove away.

"It worked!!"

They laughed so happily that this kind of task couldn't be too easy to do.

"Two truckloads of supplies came out, it's really good." Ma Da looked very happy, and said to Xia Yuan, who was driving: "Company commander, when will we go to the position of foreign devils to get some artillery." ”

"You guy, can't you meet the needs of materials anymore?" Xia Yuan drove the car and scolded with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

The big guy also laughed, and the pressure in his heart drifted away a little, but he had a little more confidence, confidence in victory.

When the truck was far enough away, Xia Yuan parked the car on the side of the road, turned off the lights, and jumped out of the car.

"Why did you stop?"

Everyone is a little confused.

"Eat something, you're not hungry, you haven't eaten for a day at the division headquarters, and now so many cans have been seized, you can't eat more."

Far away from the front line, Xia Yuan didn't take care of it, kept the supplies and didn't eat, maybe when he met a group of stick soldiers, and found them, he would have to throw away all the things at that time, the gains outweighed the losses, he was not absolutely sure that he could drive to the City God Hall, the only thing he could do was to improvise and deal with emergencies.

Originally, the instructor still wanted to save it for the last to eat, but after listening to Xia Yuan's explanation, they had not yet come out of the enemy's encirclement, and it was very easy to be exposed while driving, and once exposed, they could only abandon the truck and the materials on the truck.

"Enjoy the moment."

Instructor Shao thought about it, walked to the truck, took out the can in the eyes of everyone, and threw it away: "Little man, go on." ”

Wang Xiaoliang hurriedly caught the canned food and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the canned food of foreign devils is delicious, not only meat, but also vegetables, fruits, candies, etc., almost everything.

"Instructor, you" Lao Yang and they were stunned, the instructor is a veteran soldier in the company, and his ideological consciousness is very high, and the seized materials should be handed over to the quartermaster department and distributed by the superiors in a unified manner.

Instructor Shao said while dividing the cans: "The company commander is right, we may be exposed at any time, once exposed, can these materials be taken away?" If you can find your own people with the materials, forget it, if you can't find your own people, these materials will eventually be discarded. ”

He glanced at Xia Yuan, remembered something again, threw Xia Yuan an unknown can, took one himself, found the grass on the side of the road, and sat on the ground.

Xia Yuan smiled: "Found out?" ”

"Well, you can see that you want me to take the lead." Instructor Shao opened the can, smelled it, it was a very fragrant can, and there was no spoon, and he was about to grab it, when he handed over two branches.

Xia Yuan limped off two branches to make chopsticks, handed them to the instructor, sat beside him, and said: "Almost, some concepts that are appropriate should be discarded, and we must adapt to changes in the battlefield situation, especially when we can't receive orders from our superiors." ”

As he spoke, he violently squeezed open the can, glanced at it, and laughed: "Thank you, my favorite canned chicken is that the chicken of foreign devils is not delicious, not as delicious as the chicken we raise ourselves." ”

Instructor Shao smiled, looked up at everyone, they were all eating canned food, eating quickly, and watching it with a blank eye when they finished eating.

"Go, if you don't have enough to eat, you will get it again, this time it will be enough, until you are full."

"Yes!"

The big guy shouted happily, munched on the delicious can, and then rummaged through the truck.

Instructor Shao said with emotion: "Everyone is hungry. ”

Xia Yuan finished eating the canned food, got up and took another one, and brought one to the instructor by the way, and said: "No, we are not bad, at least we ate some yesterday, the soldiers on the front line are estimated to be even hungrier, they have been out of food for several days." ”

"It would be nice if I could send them some supplies."

Xia Yuan groaned and said: "There is no way for the time being, if you can encounter the enemy's transport cart pushing, seize a large amount of supplies, and drive the truck loaded with supplies to the mountain, maybe there will be a chance." ”

Instructor Shao swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter how hard we work in a dozen of us, we can't provide food and drink for a division." ”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded, this is indeed a problem, if it is a battalion or a regiment, a few thousand people are barely enough, a division of tens of thousands of people, not only the consumption of food, the consumption of ammunition and the consumption of medicine are an astronomical amount, this is really not something that a dozen people can solve.

Eating canned food, Instructor Shao saw that Xia Yuan didn't speak for a long time, so he asked curiously: "By the way, what is our task this time?" ”

Xia Yuan then remembered that he hadn't told the instructor about the task yet, and he groaned a little and said: "Instructor, our task is relatively difficult, and it will be unclear for a while, in general, it is to block the enemy." ”

"Blocking the enemy?"

Instructor Shao was stunned, his heart moved, and asked, "Since it is to block the enemy, why don't you stop the enemy on the front line, but transfer us to the rear?" ”

The instructor did not realize how serious the situation facing the 180th Division was, he only knew that the enemy facing the 180th Division was very strong, but he did not know in his heart how powerful it was, and judging from the situation of fighting the enemy, the US troops were far more powerful than them in terms of strength, weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies.

He suddenly remembered that the ferry had been occupied by the stick soldiers, and since the stick soldiers were able to occupy the crossing, whether the US troops had also appeared behind the 180th Division, thinking of this, the instructor's heart tightened, and he immediately said: "Is it that the US troops have touched our backs?" ”

Xia Yuan also knew what Instructor Shao had guessed, nodded and said, "Do you remember the stick scouts we encountered when we first came to the division headquarters?" ”

Instructor Shao said: "On the right flank of the division, the comrades of the 189th Division are being pursued. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned: "How could the 189th Division be chased by the stick soldiers?" ”

"Because the 189th Division retreated."

Xia Yuan's cold words made Instructor Shao's whole body soak, he raised his head to look at Xia Yuan, and asked nervously, "Is the right wing exposed?" ”

Xia Yuan did not hide it, and nodded truthfully: "The sixty-third army has retreated, our right flank is exposed, and the sixth division of the stick soldiers is interspersed along the position of the 189th division, which is also the reason why they occupy the ferry." ”

"Then we are blocking the enemy, is it the sixth division that is blocking this stick soldier?" Instructor Shao asked again.

Xia Yuan shook his head: "It's not a stick soldier, we are blocking the US army, on the right side of the stick soldier, there is an American army division moving towards our rear along the road, and our target is this US army division." ”

Instructor Shao paused slightly as he stuffed food into his mouth, looked around, and asked with difficulty, "Rely on us?" ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "There is also a company in the City God Hall waiting for us." ”

"A company" Instructor Shao's brain was a little unable to turn, one company blocked a division of the US army, thinking about it, he was silent, he didn't make a sound for a while, and he didn't eat canned food again.

Xia Yuan also knew that this task was arduous, but he had to do it, he already knew in his heart that no matter how many troops were sent, the result would be the same, rather than this, it was better to send only one company.

A company, whether it is interspersed or a sneak attack, is very convenient.

There are many advantages to having more troops, and fewer troops have the advantages of having fewer troops.

If Xia Yuan led the team, he thought that the strength of a company was just right, no more, no less.

Xia Yuan looked at Instructor Shao and knew that the pressure on the other party was very great, after all, a company blocked an American division, and the strength of an American division was already equal to a corps of the Volunteer Army, this kind of behavior was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"Lao Xia, tell me, our specific tasks, I want to know more specific."

Instructor Shao raised his head to look at Xia Yuan and asked him. He knew that Xia Yuan knew a lot more than he knew, and he also wanted to ask some more clearly.

"Instructor, you know the current situation of the 180th Division, the 179th Division on the left flank has shrunk to the rear, and the various corps have retreated one after another, and the left flank of the 180th Division has been completely exposed. The 63rd Army on the right flank also retreated, and the right flank was also exposed, and the US 24th Division and the puppet 2nd Division moved northward, and the two divisions were separated, among which the US 24th Division moved along the road to Chenghuangtang, and Chenghuangtang, which was a pass on the retreat road of the 180th Division, could not be defended, and the US 24th Division choked Chenghuangtang and continued to advance northward, and Zhiyanli and Mapingli would fall one after another. ”

Xia Yuan condensed his voice and said: "There are only two companies of one battalion of the 540th Regiment in Chenghuangtang, which can't be defended, and the situation in Zhiyanli and Mapingli is currently unknown, I deduce that one company of each of the 179th Division is stationed, and if they can't hold it, the retreat route of the 180th Division will be blocked." ”

Instructor Shao understood, and immediately understood the importance of this mission, and he asked: "So the division commander asked you to go to stop the enemy from attacking north." ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "This task is very arduous, too many people, too few people, but the advantage of fewer people and fewer people, more people will only aggravate casualties." ”

After a pause, he added, "It's not that we don't have nothing, at least there is a company in the City God Hall, we just need to delay enough time." ”

"Hit a stone with an egg." Instructor Shao sighed and asked, "Do you have a plan in mind?" ”

"With a little frown, we're going to get into the American devil's station."

"Huh?"

Instructor Shao didn't expect Xia Yuan to have such a plan.

"Infiltrate the garrison of foreign devils, what can be hit, supplies, artillery groups, fuel, enemy headquarters."

Xia Yuan's eyes were a little calm, and he took two mouthfuls of canned food and said, "It's up to us whether we can rescue the 180th Division." ”

Instructor Shao glanced at the time and asked, "There are still a few hours before dawn, and you plan to act during the day?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Act during the day, there is no other way." Hurry up and eat, after eating, you have to go to the City God Hall, tomorrow's battle will be even more tragic. ”

"It's not so tragic."

Instructor Shao didn't have much confidence, and only hoped that after they sacrificed, someone would be able to resist the 24th Division.

This meal, everyone ate to the fullest, everyone killed at least two junctures, and one by one they ate with their mouths full of oil.

"Special mother, the food of foreign devils is delicious, this canned food is better than the canned food of Japanese devils, and the canned food of Japanese devils tastes salty and mushy."

Ma Da couldn't get enough of licking his mouth with his tongue.

Everyone should be yes again and again, they have also eaten canned food of Japanese devils, the canned food of small Japanese devils is very simple, the taste is just one word, salty, it is very delicious to eat with steamed buns, and it is not salty to eat dry, at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, they seized a lot of canned food of Japanese devils, which was also an important source of rations for their march.

The canned food of foreign devils is abundant, divided into three levels of ABC, each grade is divided into several types of canned food, the category of meat is also different, the type is not the same, and it is even divided into morning, noon and evening.

"Squad leader, look, what is this?"

Wang Xiaoliang held a razor and looked at it in his hand.

"Little man, where did this come from, he looks so strange."

Tan Zhanbiao stepped forward and asked.

"Eat canned food." Wang Xiaoliang said a little proudly, there is a blade on this thing, I don't know what it is for.

"Show the company commander." Tan Zhanbiao saw Xia Yuan walking towards this side and patted Wang Xiaoliang on the shoulder.

"Company commander, look." Wang Xiaoliang stood up and showed Xia Yuan with a razor.

"It's, razor." Xia Yuan was a little surprised, pinched the razor and shaved his face, and the beard that pulled the tea was cut off inch by inch, and fell off one by one.

"Razor."

Everyone was a little surprised.

Instructor Shao glanced at it and said, "Hey, don't say it, it's very easy to use, this is a foreign devil's thing?" ”

"Opened from a foreign devil's can." Wang Xiaoliang said.

"It just so happens that everyone hasn't shaved for a long time, so just use this thing to shave, it's very simple, don't use too much force."

Xia Yuan smiled and threw the razor to Wang Xiaoliang.
