Chapter 66: Asleep
"Brother Fan, there is a village ahead, should we take a break." Liao Fan was left with only more than a hundred soldiers from the guard company.
Liao Fan looked at the village with a telescope: "No, there are still people in this village, if the little devil catches up, it will be the common people who will suffer." Let the brethren hold on a little longer, and in another hour it will be dark. ”
"Shall we notify them of the transfer?" Liu Chundao asked.
"Send two people down and tell them that if they are willing to go with us, move immediately, and if they are not willing to go, let them be careful of the little devils. The troops bypassed the village and waited for them at the back of the village ten minutes later. Liao Fan made a simple arrangement, everyone understood that it was not wise to transfer the villagers at this time, but they couldn't let it go.
Ten minutes later, two soldiers returned with their people: "Brother Fan, only these sixteen people are willing to go with us. ”
Liao Fan saw that most of them were young people, and there was also a woman. It's no wonder that the old people have lived here for a lifetime, and their homeland is hard to leave.
"Brother Fan, two soldiers found a Japanese army of forty or fifty people on the other side of the mountain, like scouts of little devils, and they are still staring there." Liu Chundao said.
"Made, I'm really afraid of something!" Liao Fan was worried that the little devils would harm the common people after discovering this village, and it was okay for the Japanese army to act together, especially the scouts who lacked logistics supplies.
"Brother Fan, I'll take a squad of fighters to lure them away." The platoon commander volunteered.
"I'll take you there, I'm familiar with the terrain here...... "The woman came out and said weakly.
"Nope." Before Liao Fan could finish speaking, he denied her.
"Sir, you heard me say that my legs and feet are sharper than these old men, and I won't hold back the troops." The woman continued.
Liao Fan still disagreed, but he looked at the woman in front of him and felt that he didn't look like a rural woman.
"Just let her go, when she ran away from marriage, more than a dozen young men in our village didn't catch up with her." As soon as one of the villagers said it, everyone laughed. Being exposed in front of so many people, the girl was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Fan, just let her go, I promise to protect her!" The third platoon leader said.
"What's your name?" Liao Fan asked.
The girl replied, "My name is Zhang Cuihua!" ”
"Okay, platoon leader, I'll give her to you. After completing the mission, we met in Xingjiagou. Liao Fan handed his pistol to Zhang Cuihua and asked, "Will you shoot?" ”
"Yes! I studied it when I was in school in Peking. Zhang Cuihua said.
The woman in front of her has a different experience, it will never be as simple as it seems on the surface, Liao Fan doesn't trust her, but now is not the time to investigate her identity: "Spring Knife, take care of your fellow countrymen, let's withdraw!" ”
The scouts of the little devils, when they entered the mountains, there were more than forty or fifty people, and as few as seven or eight people, and almost every company of Liao Fan was followed by the scouts of the Japanese army. Liao Fan's assignment of the soldiers of the special operations team to various companies played an unexpected role at this time, and the officers under him lacked actual combat experience, but the soldiers of the special operations team just made up for it, and the Japanese squads of more than a dozen people often fell into the trap set for them by the special operations team without knowing what was going on.
Like Liao Fan, the scouts they encountered were relatively numerous, although they had the ability to annihilate all of this reconnaissance force, but it would cause a chain reaction, and other Japanese reconnaissance teams that heard the gunshots would move closer to their side, and when the time came, they would consume the strength of the guard company little by little.
After dark, the guard company went to Xingjiagou and temporarily fled from danger.
"Brother Fan, the villagers here have all been transferred, and there is no one in the village." A squad leader came back with two fighters to scout.
"Spring knife, take the troops into the village to rest, remember that the things in the villager's house are not allowed to be touched." Liao Fan ordered.
As soon as they entered the village, the warriors finally couldn't hold back the fatigue of their whole body and fell asleep. In the past few days of marching and fighting, the iron-clad man will not be able to hold on. Liu Chundao wanted to call a few soldiers for them to prepare food and stand guard, but Liao Fan stopped him.
"Brother Fan, this ......"
"You also go to rest, I'll go to the sentry myself, and you can come and replace me in the middle of the night." Liao Fan felt ashamed when he saw these fallen men.
Liao Fan picked up his equipment and walked towards the entrance of the village. Climbing the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Liao Fan felt that he had never been so quiet in his life, and he missed the days when he used to brag with his comrades, and unconsciously Liao Fan fell asleep.
A noisy sound woke up Liao Fan in his sleep, Liao Fan immediately became vigilant, and by the moonlight, Liao Fan saw that there were more than 20 Japanese soldiers not far away who were searching and advancing here, and they could reach the entrance of the village with their words.
Liao Fan shouted in his heart, something is wrong, he doesn't dare to move on the big locust tree, as long as he moves, the little devil will find himself immediately. Liao Fan regretted in his heart that he fell asleep when he shouldn't have stood guard, and he was anxious about the sleeping soldiers in the village, what if he was discovered by the little devils?
Liao Fan's brain was running rapidly in the tree, and when he was what to do, the little devil had already walked into a courtyard.
The little devil chattered in the yard and didn't know what to say, and then two devils came out of the yard and began to search the village. Liao Fan held the short knife in his hand and quietly followed behind the two devils, and after the two devils entered a courtyard, Liao Fan felt that the opportunity had come, and quietly touched in, and the two little devils disappeared in the dark.
"Spring Knife, get up!" Liao Fan gently woke up Liu Chundao.
Liu Chundao thought that Liao Fan asked him to go out to stand guard, but Liao Fan made a silent gesture, and Liu Chundao realized that the situation was wrong.
"There are little devils, wake up the brothers in a row, and don't talk loudly!"
Two minutes later, a platoon of soldiers quietly left the courtyard in full gear, the moon was covered by clouds at this time, and a few drops of rain hit Liao Fan's face.
The little devil was talking about something in the courtyard, and the bayonet had been prepared outside the courtyard, Liao Fan made a gesture and asked the first group of soldiers to climb over the wall from behind.
The rain became heavier and heavier, completely covering the fighting and screaming in the yard, and in just five minutes, more than 20 little devils became Liao Fan's ghosts.
"Liu Chundao, how are the casualties over there?" Liao Fan asked after mending the knife for the little devil.
"One of the fighters crooked his foot when he climbed over the wall." Liu Chundao returned, "Brother Fan, how did the little devil enter the village?" ”
Liao Fan was a little embarrassed by Liu Chundao's question, he couldn't say that he fell asleep when he was standing guard, so he could only cough dryly: "That, it's good if you're not injured, send two soldiers to the sentry, I'll go back and sleep." ”
didn't take two steps, Liao Fan, Liao Fan turned around and added to Liu Chundao: "Don't swallow the Japanese canned food by yourself, the three platoon leaders haven't come back yet!" ”
"Brother Fan......" Liu Chundao's caution has not yet been spoken.
Liao Fan turned around and hit the door frame, and with a click, it hurt so much that Liao Fan almost burst into tears, and the soldiers all stopped their movements and looked at Liao Fan.
Enduring the severe pain, Liao Fan asked Liu Chundao: "Is there anything else?" ”
"It's okay now." Liu Chundao forced a smile. Liao Fan left in embarrassment, leaving the courtyard full of laughter.
