"Don't worry, company commander, I've already stopped bleeding and bandaged the instructor Gou just now. He will not be in danger of his life for the time being. However, we must find a safe place as soon as possible and take out the bullet in his chest." Zeng Zifan squatted down and said.
"You said... Gou Hao... he is not dead..." Dong Limao was so sad that he almost burst into tears. He pointed at Gou Hao on the stretcher and asked, "Then he is..."
"I injected him with morphine to relieve pain and fell asleep." Zeng Zifan replied.
"Haha... I'm asleep... have a good sleep, brother..." Dong Limao stood up and said to several soldiers who were preparing to carry the stretcher: "Take them back quickly, don't be too bumpy."
Pan Guangzu and several injured soldiers were also lying on temporary stretchers made of branches and vines.
"Doctor Zeng, you must ensure that each of them is alive!" Dong Limao grabbed Zeng Zifan and said, he was really worried about Gou Hao. If there were no Gou Hao, there would be no spies and these brothers.
"I will do my best." Zeng Zifan saw that Dong Limao's feelings for these brothers were infected. He was infected. During these days, he felt the domineering aura from Dong Limao, and at the same time he also felt the sincere friendship of Dong Limao for his brothers.
Looking at the wounded being carried away walking into the dark forest, Dong Limao ordered Hu San: "Little beard, pass my order and withdraw!"
Hiroji Ikeda was more than ten minutes late. When his large army returned to the east gate of Longling City, he could no longer see Dong Limao and the others. He sent a small team of Japanese troops to chase them quickly in the mountains where the spy company retreated. Perhaps he was so anxious that he forgot that there was a defeated enemy in the military strategy. What's more, the spy company was not a defeated enemy, but an organized and purposeful retreat.
Although Luo Yongshan died in battle, the machine gun squad he led, after evacuating from the blocking battle, still retreated to a small path that the secret service company must pass to return to the base, and chose the best place to ambush. Each of these dozen soldiers suffered the great grief of losing the squad leader Luo Yongshan, waiting to avenge the squad leader here. They watched the rescued prisoner-of-war camp officers and soldiers pass through the path in an orderly manner under the organization of Zheng Chengkui.
After the machine guns led by Dong Limao and Zhang Dali were cut off, they retreated to the ambush place where the machine gun squad soldiers were ambushing and joined their ambush camp.
Dong Limao learned from the soldiers that Luo Yongshan died in battle, and felt that he was still secret and the battlefield changed rapidly. Many situations were unpredictable in advance. Luo Yongshan's heroism and the injuries of brothers such as Gou Hao, Pan Guangzu, and the re-emergence of Nagaki Matsushita, and the wounded soldiers of the Japanese devils in the hospital also participated in the battle. This was something Dong Limao had never expected before the battle.
This is the reality of war, which is so cruel that it cannot be more cruel. Although Dong Limao is unwilling to see sacrifices, it is still unavoidable.
Dong Limao quietly lay behind a pine tree, feeling sad for Luo Yongshan's death, and the voice in his body spoke again.
‘Boy, cheer up, the road ahead is still long, you will see more deaths and killings, this is just the beginning…’
Dong Limao communicated with the voice in his body with great care: "Grandpa, I know you are talking to me, and I also know that there will be death in war. Can't I really change what Grandpa has experienced in the past?"
‘Boy, don’t be foolish, change... Haha... I tried my best to change back then, but in the end... you will see...’
'So, everything I have experienced is what Grandpa you have experienced in the past, right? Including every woman I have met...'
‘Don’t think about it all, you will understand...you will understand...
"Company Commander, here you are here!" Zhang Dali quietly walked up to Dong Limao and leaned down and said.
Dong Limao cheered up and looked up the path. In the night, although he couldn't see the other party clearly, he could hear from the rapid running that he didn't know how many Japanese soldiers there were. He swallowed his saliva and quietly pulled the submachine gun in his hand to the hall. When he could see the few Japanese soldiers in front clearly, Dong Limao shouted: "Kill..." Before he finished speaking, the submachine gun in his hand also spit out flames, knocking down the three Japanese soldiers in front.
All the machine guns roared in the woods almost roared at the same time. The glowing bullets, like deadly little bugs burning red, penetrated into the enemy's bodies and killed the Japanese devils.
This small team of Japanese troops, fifty or sixty, was shot and killed in the first round of strafing, and the remaining twenty people fell and crawled into the bushes on the side of the small road and began to fight back.
Dong Limao threw out a grenade, and the light of the explosion flashed, as if guiding the direction of shooting to the warriors in the machine gun platoon. The sound of machine guns greeted the Japanese who were hiding in the woods, and then several grenades were thrown out. Before the Japanese could fire a few shots, more than ten fell down, and the remaining dozen began to run backwards.
Zhang Dali stood up with a machine gun in both hands and yelled to chase after him.
Dong Limao grabbed him and said, "Don't chase him, order your brothers to withdraw!"
So Zhang Dali stopped shooting and shouted loudly: "Brothers, retreat quickly!"
Dong Limao and Zhang Dali cut off the rear. Seeing that the other brothers had retreated, they did not see the Japanese counterattacking, so they retreated.
At dawn, Dong Limao and Zhang Dali returned to the temporary station of the spy Lianshan with the machine gun platoon soldiers who were fighting and blocking. Seeing that the surrounding woods were filled with soldiers, he thought to himself: "How should we place these people?"
"Company Commander Dong, haha... It's so satisfying to fight with you!" Zheng Chengkui walked up to him and said with a smile.
Dong Limao's head flashed with inspiration, and there was a good way to resettle the rescued officers and soldiers.
"Captain Zheng, thank you and your brothers for your help this time. I have something to do and want to discuss with Captain Zheng." Dong Limao took Zheng Chengkui's hand and walked aside.
"Please tell me, Company Commander Dong just told me that as long as I, Zheng Chengkui, can do it, I will be heartbroken!" Zheng Chengkui said generously.
"Look at these soldiers, especially those wounded, need a safe place to recover from the wounds. Can Captain Zheng take them in?" Dong Limao asked, looking at the officers and soldiers rescued in the woods.
Zheng Chengkui was stunned. This was a team of two or three thousand people, enough to form a division. To combine these soldiers from different groups of troops, in addition to requiring a large amount of weapons and ammunition, they also had to have time and place to train them. This is not a joke, and Zheng Chengkui was in trouble.
"this……"
"If Captain Zheng refused to take them in, most of these people would probably be captured by the Japanese devils again or even killed. Our spy company will carry out special tasks at any time, without a fixed ending point..." Dong Limao saw Zheng Chengkui's mind and tried his best to persuade him.
"The problem is that among these people, there are many people with higher military ranks than me, and I don't know if they are willing to be bandits." Zheng Chengkui interrupted Dong Limao's words.
"Of course, if you don't want to stay, I will send them a trip fee to leave. We only need those who are willing to stay and kill the Japanese. What do you think?" Dong Limao said.
"Okay, let's hear what these people think first." Zheng Chengkui gritted his teeth and replied.
"Everyone is gathered together, the goal is too big. We must solve this problem before noon and then disperse as soon as possible." Dong Limao was worried about being discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance plane, so he glanced at the sky and said.
However, before dispersing these people, Dong Limao had another important thing to do, that is, to find Zhang Wenmo, and of course he could not tell Zheng Chengkui about this.
"Little beard, gather the officers first. I have something to say to them." Dong Limao ordered Hu San.
Soon, the officers rescued from Longling City were all concentrated in a vacant land. The highest rank was the colonel and the lowest was the second lieutenant. There were more than 200 subordinate officers, and the majority were civilians. Several of them were military doctors and nurses. Dong Limao asked the school-level officers to stand in the first row, with a total of twenty-eight people.
According to the characteristics mentioned by Li Yuanyuan, two of them were major female military doctors who were less than thirty years old. In this way, there were only a dozen left. Among these dozen people, Dong Limao mainly looked at whether there were birthmarks under the earlobe. When he saw the sixth one, he was a lieutenant colonel. There was indeed a birthmark under the earlobe. He was not tall and looked a little thin.
"What's your name?" Dong Limao asked at the man.
The man glanced at Dong Limao and replied in Sichuan dialect: "Li Mo."
Dong Limao understood that he was talking about a pseudonym and asked again: "Which unit do you belong to?"
"The Propaganda Section of the 200th Division of the Fifth Army." This man answered without hesitation. Perhaps the same question was answered by the Japanese when he was interrogated in the county prison.
Dong Limao saw that he was not injured or tortured.
"Little beard, please bring this commander aside!" Dong Limao said loudly to Hu San.
"What are you doing?" The lieutenant colonel officer asked loudly.
"You will know later, please." Dong Limao said with a smile on his face.
After Hu San led the lieutenant colonel away, Dong Limao began to say:
"I believe everyone knows the current situation. If you are willing to stay and follow Captain Zheng to kill the Japanese, please stand forward. If you don't want to stay, we won't force you. I will give each person two oceans of travel expenses and find a way to survive."
More than two hundred officers seemed to be waiting for the first person to stand up and did not immediately express their attitude.
Dong Limao and Zheng Chengkui were waiting and watching each of them.
At this time, a captain stood up from behind: "I'm willing to stay!"
Then, several young subordinate officers stood up.
More and more people stood up, and in the end, only a dozen people were unwilling to stay.
Dong Limao and Zheng Chengkui did not expect that so many people would stay and fight the Japanese, including the two major female military doctors. They were moved by these people who stood up and thought that not many people would stay.
By the same method, the two or three thousand soldiers were separated and left and left. Most of the people were voluntarily stayed, including the wounded and a small half of them unwilling to stay. Dong Limao asked the spy soldiers to distribute two oceans to each of them, and told them which direction they would not meet the Japanese devils and dismissed them.
Zheng Chengkui, with the officers and soldiers who were willing to stay, began to go on the road in batches, heading towards his mountain village and walking along the woods in the mountains.
Dong Limao used this method to fulfill an anti-Japanese general behind enemy lines. In the next two years, Zheng Chengkui's troops destroyed many Japanese and puppet troops and became the most combat-effective anti-Japanese guerrilla team that survived in western Yunnan at that time. This is a later story, and I will not mention it here for the time being.
