Chapter 238: Bearing the weight to contain the devil
The exhausted and wounded Manchu North Corps quietly rested and prepared for three days, and the first and third brigades began to move to the new secret camp with the wounded and sick, and Yu Chengchan sent two guides with the team.
Before parting, Captain Xiao came to say goodbye to Yu Chengchan, and the two told each other a lot of words. Aunt Xiao's mood is of course low, her mood is heavy, and she is even a little miserable and sad!
"Haizi, this mission is different from the usual and very dangerous. If you are far away, you can't contain the devils, and if you are close, you can easily be caught up, and you people can't withstand the pursuit of the devils.
I advise you to restrain the devils and lead them out of the mountains, and you will run out of the mountains. It's not good to spin around in the mountains on this cold day, and if you don't get wiped out by the devils, you have to freeze to death.
Run out of the mountain to find a place to hide, and then go into the mountains to contact us next year when it is warm, and you can run as much as you can, even if you run out alone, you will not lose.
And don't be reckless, let it be by nature. The third aunt is very worried about you, you have to be obedient. At this time, when it comes to the critical period of life and death, you must protect yourself! ”
Aunt Xiao is a little reluctant to give up on Jackie Chan, but more uneasy, she knows that in this cold season, it is very difficult to contain the little devil and retreat.
"Don't worry, third aunt, I know the severity. Not only must we protect ourselves, but also protect these brothers who live and die together, and we will definitely not be rash.
When you arrive at the new secret camp, you must do a good job of concealment, and in case we do not contain the Japanese devils, you must also be prepared to evacuate at any time.
At that time, I ran out of the mountain, just like when Tianyao Ridge was broken up in the past, first hidden, and then tried to make a comeback, and I must not fight hard with the little devils! ”
Yu Chenglong tightly held Xiao San's hand, this is the hand that led him to this day, and it is Yu Chengchan's eternal support, with Xiao Sanjiao, Yu Chenglong has confidence and the courage to overcome all difficulties.
"I won't say more, take care!"
Although Aunt Xiao had tears in her eyes, she still resolutely turned around and said a lot in a more sad tone, and then said goodbye and took the team on the journey to the new secret camp.
After Aunt Xiao left with the team, two more days passed, and General Political Commissar Qin Gang, Commander-in-Chief Fang Tianzhu, and Chief of General Staff Yang Furen also began to transfer together with the second and fifth brigades.
Before parting, he still gave thousands of instructions, until he finished saying what he wanted to say, and then he did not leave, and even the soldiers hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes.
Yu Chenglong originally planned to let Political Commissar Jin Yunji lead the team to transfer with the headquarters, but Political Commissar Jin refused to live or die, so he had to stay. There was no way, the team had to be led by Captain Wu and transferred with the large army.
After the transfer of the large army, Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to cook all the remaining grain into mature rice, form rice balls, and put them outside to freeze them so that they could eat on the road.
The two wounded horses left behind after the withdrawal of the large army were also painfully killed, divided and cooked, and distributed equally to each soldier to collect and prepare to replenish his strength on the road.
He also instructed the soldiers to smash more indigo grass belts and prepare to keep warm to prevent frostbite. After making all the preparations, Yu Jackie Chan ordered the team to relax and rest, sleep well, and wait for the arrival of the devil.
After a few more days, the soldiers who followed the reconnaissance came back and reported that the devil's brigade had begun to move, leaving the occupied secret camp and was rushing towards us.
Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance to also prepare, and sent two more people to reconnoiter in the direction where the large army retreated, estimating the time when the little devil arrived here.
After another two days, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance came back and reported that the devil was still two days away from here at most. Yu Chenglong told the soldiers to rest and sleep immediately, and ordered them to prepare for transfer at dawn the next day.
The next day, the soldiers got up early in the morning to heat up and prepare for meals, and began to line up at dawn to prepare for departure. Political Commissar Kim Yun-hee looked at the energetic soldiers and made a pre-war mobilization on behalf of the brigade headquarters.
"Comrades and brothers, we have a very heavy task this time, which is to contain more than 2,000 devils and the Jing'an Army and ensure the smooth transfer of the large army.
We are about to face two major tests, one is the most vicious Japanese devils, and the other is the bitter winter, and if we are careless, we may be killed by these two enemies.
Difficult trials await us! But our four brigades are a brave and tenacious team, especially capable of fighting, since its establishment, invincible, never suffered defeat.
The head of the corps trusts us, and the comrades who fought with us are looking forward to us! Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu Chenglong still personally commanded our team, which made us more confident in victory!
Our comrades who have been left behind are all elites, the backbone of our army, and we should be full of confidence that we will definitely be able to complete our tasks and achieve victory!
I see that everyone is eager to try, don't be in a hurry, some battles are fighting. Now the team is disbanded, and it will be ready for another hour before departure.
Everyone continued to prepare for the work of keeping warm, and I saw that some comrades did not have masks, some had too little indigo grass, and some brought too little things, so they immediately went back to prepare.
Bring everything you can bring, don't be afraid of bulky, don't too much, we don't know how long we have to deal with the devil in the mountains, the first important thing is to overcome the cold, and now go back to the secret camp to prepare again. ”
An hour later, the team regrouped and set off. Along the route of the transfer of the large troops, the team lined up, with Jackie Chan in front, Political Commissar Jin in the center, and Deputy Captain Zhang in the back.
The procession marched slowly, leaving observation posts as they went. This is because the little devil has not yet come to this secret camp, so there is no need to travel too fast.
Towards night, the team climbed a mountain beam along the ravine, Yu Chenglong ordered the team to stop, lit more than ten fires, and left a few people to have a hot meal, while he led a large army along the mountain beam to explore the way.
After it was completely dark, Yu Chengchan led the team back again, and everyone had the first dinner after leaving the secret camp together, although it was in the wild, everyone didn't feel too cold.
That night, the group of three or five people stayed together around the fire for the night, but they didn't fall asleep. As soon as it was dawn the next day, the remaining reconnaissance posts came back to report the situation.
The little devil's brigade arrived at the secret camp last night, and there has been no movement for the time being. Yu Jackie Chan asked the soldiers to heat up and eat, and then asked everyone to put out the fire.
Towards noon, the scouts came back to report that the enemy had sent a small force of about thirty men to the front, and was approaching in this direction, apparently trying to find the direction of our retreat.
