Chapter 69
Dong Limao returned to the company and fell asleep, perhaps because he was consuming too much energy by the river in the bamboo forest. He slept very soundly and did not hear Bai Rushuang talking and singing to him in his dream.
Didn't you know that Bai Rushuang was restless and nonsense all night in the hospital bed and talked nonsense, so she couldn't sleep all night. She changed Dong Limao's wet sheets five times. Every time she changed the sheets, she could see his partial ejaculation. This surprised Bai Rushuang. A person who was unconscious and seriously injured in the bed for several days would actually get up so frequently. Moreover, the wet sheets on his wet sheets were not just urine, but also other white things that made Bai Rushuang feel shy. Every time after changing the sheets, Bai Rushuang had to wipe Dong Limao's body clean, so when it was almost dawn, Bai Rushuang could no longer hold on and crawled beside the bed and fell asleep with Dong Limao.
Hu San was waiting at the door of Dong Limao's bedroom, not letting anyone disturb him. After two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Yongsheng came three times. Hu San said he would not let him in. On the fourth time, Zhu Yongsheng was anxious and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the yard:
"Company Commander, the military headquarters has called and urged him many times and asked why our company has not set off yet! It's past three o'clock in the afternoon now. If you don't leave, you should be sent to the military court, the company commander!"
Dong Limao heard Zhu Yongsheng's roar outside the house and immediately got up and asked, "Little Mustache, what happened?"
Hu San then opened the door and reported that it was Deputy Company Commander Zhu calling.
Zhu Yongsheng rushed into the door and said, "Company Commander, you can really sleep! You are so angry that you are still sleeping in broad daylight!"
"Looking at the same time, what happened?" Dong Limao asked calmly in his shoes.
"The battle to rescue the British army in Renren Anqiang has begun! The military headquarters ordered our spy company to set off before 5 pm and rush to the battlefield in northern Myanmar at night. We must arrive in Renanqiang before dawn. The mission is to save the commander of the British First Division from the Japanese encirclement!" Zhu Yongsheng told Dong Limao the combat order of the military headquarters.
"What time is now?" Dong Limao put on his shoes and straightened his back to ask.
"It's past three o'clock." Zhu Yongsheng replied.
"Gather the brothers of the entire company immediately. Apart from bringing weapons and ammunition, food and drinking water for a day and a night, you cannot bring anything irrelevant!" Dong Limao issued an order to Zhu Yongsheng.
"The team has been assembled, brothers are waiting for you, company commander!" Zhu Yongsheng was still angry and cheered loudly when he spoke.
Dong Limao tied up his armed belt, lifted up the charge placed on the head of the bed, took off the helmet hanging on the wall and buckled it on his head, and put the scabbard of the right boot of the saber: "Go!" and strode out of the threshold.
Outside the yard, all the soldiers of the spy company were waiting in four trucks. Dong Limao stepped onto the jeep directly, Hu San took the co-pilot position, Pan Guangzu held a pot in both hands, sat in the back seat with a mysterious smile, and Zhu Yongsheng sat next to him.
When Dong Limao saw Pan Guangzu holding a pot in his arms, he felt strange. After driving the car, he asked, "Donggua, why are you holding a pot in your arms?"
"Haha... This is the Dragon and Tiger Soup I cooked for the company commander." Pan Guangzu said, lifting the lid of the earthen pot, and a strong aroma of broth hits Dong Limao's nostrils.
"Haha... so fragrant, what is Dragon and Tiger Soup?" Dong Limao's greed in his belly raised the fragrance of the soup and asked with a smile.
Pan Guangzu said, "I won't tell you for now, let's see if you can taste it?" As he said that, he handed the earthen pot to Hu San: "Feed it to the company commander."
There was a spoon in the earthen pot, made of bamboo. Hu San scooped a spoon from the pot, with meat and soup on it. He swallowed and reached the spoon to Dong Limao's mouth.
Dong Limao held the steering wheel with his left hand, took the spoon with his right hand, and sprinkled the soup on his pants. He took a sip of the soup, which was a bit hot, but it tasted good, so he picked up a piece of the meat in the spoon and sucked it into his mouth. The meat was cooked so hard that it melted in his mouth. Xili said in a snoring way: "I have never eaten this meat before. What kind of dragon and tiger soup are you making?"
"Haha... it is a soup stewed with pythons and wild cats. I named this soup Longhu Decoction." Pan Guangzu replied.
"The taste is good, and the name is good, Longhu Soup! I like it!" Dong Limao finished eating the meat in the spoon and handed the spoon to Hu San and said, "Little Beard, you and Lao Zhu also tasted the Dragonhu Soup cooked by Donggua Quartermaster."
"I said to the qualifier, you can do it! This is a great medicinal soup!" Zhu Yongsheng took a piece of wild cat meat from the spoon that Hu San scooped up and put it in his mouth.
"Haha... I think the company commander may be too tired these days and needs to replenish your body, so I made an appointment with Gou Hao. Last night, I crouched by the bamboo forest river in the suburbs for a short night, and then I caught the "dragon" and "tiger". Company Commander, drink more soup, I cooked it for you with my own hands, just to replenish your body. Haha..." Pan Guangzu's smile had some hint.
"You and Gou Hao went to the bamboo forest by the river last night?" Dong Limao was stunned and turned around and asked.
"Hehe...yes, we saw it...hehe..." Pan Guangzu didn't say anything further.
Zhu Yongsheng asked strangely: "What did you two see?"
Pan Guangzu looked at Dong Limao, then attached his mouth to Zhu Yongsheng's ear and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Zhu Yongsheng opened his mouth wide, glared at Dong Limao's back and slapped and said, "Okay, Dong Jiacheng, Dong Jiacheng! It seems that you are really fascinated by that slutty fox! Are you worthy of your younger brothers and sisters in Chengdu and your newborn child? It depends on your good things! What do you want me to say to you..."
Dong Limao didn't reply. He knew in his heart that he didn't believe that what he did last night was done by his great-grandfather. It was obviously done by himself, and nothing he said had to do with his great-grandfather.
"Old Zhu, our car can only travel more than 20 kilometers, and then we have to walk. Are the brothers mentally prepared?" Dong Limao brought the topic to the task he performed. He has read a lot of topographic maps recently and knows how to walk to the Ren'anqiang area in northern Myanmar.
"I asked my brothers to tie their legs with backpack ropes to prevent snakes and insects in the forest." Zhu Yongsheng replied.
"It was the 113th Regiment of the newly formed 38th Division. He had a fire with the Japanese army surrounding the Yingjun First Division and the Chariot Battalion?" Dong Limao knew from the limited memory of the historical materials he had read, that the Battle of Ren'anqiang was a battle initiated by the British army after being besieged by the Japanese army and had to ask for help from the Expeditionary Force. The newly formed 38th Division of the Sixty-sixth Army was responsible for this rescue campaign.
"How do you know, company commander?" Zhu Yongsheng asked a little strangely. He remembered that he had not reported to Dong Limao in detail.
Dong Limao couldn't answer Zhu Yongsheng's question: "How did I know? Don't worry about it first, talk about your thoughts first. It is impossible for us to break through. We can only secretly take advantage of the night to cover and rescue the damn British commander!"
"After receiving the order from the military headquarters, I looked at the map of Ren'anqiang in northern Myanmar. There are two plans. One is to pass through the primeval forest. Although it will be faster, we may get lost, making it difficult for us to complete the task in the end. The second plan is to follow the banks of Ren'anqiang River and go upstream. The road will be more difficult to walk, and it is very likely that you will encounter Japanese troops. The speed of travel will be very slow, and it may be difficult to enter the encirclement before dawn." Zhu Yongsheng expressed his thoughts.
Dong Limao listened to Zhu Yongsheng's words and the topography of the Ren'anqiang area appeared in his mind. After a while, he spoke:
"My idea is that we are divided into two groups, both through the primeval forest and upstream from the Ren'anqiang River. We march at night. The most taboo thing is to operate the large army in a unified manner, dispersing the troops, which is conducive to interspersion, not easily expose the target, and can also speed up the speed of the journey. You lead half of your brothers to the primeval forest, and I lead the other half of your brothers to the river bank. No matter who arrives first, you must rescue the foreign devil named Sgot. Remember, the order given to us by the military is to save Sgot. We don't have to worry about the rest, and don't get too entangled with the Japanese army." Dong Limao said.
"Company Commander, I'd better lead my brothers to the river bank." Zhu Yongsheng knew that the danger of walking on the river bank was far greater than that of traveling through the primeval forest.
