Chapter 642: An Unexpected Thing
"Brother Liao has already been rescued, don't go to meet the commander of the little devil tomorrow!"
They rescued 5,000 prisoners of war from the hands of the little devils, and the commander of the little devils must be furious, after all, they rescued people in their defense area, and if the Japanese commander meets again tomorrow, if the Japanese commander wants to take action against Liao Jundong in anger, I am afraid that Liao Jundong will be in danger.
"Don't worry about my safety, I have my own way to deal with it tomorrow, those soldiers are arranged?" Liao Jundong asked Cunqi.
"It's all arranged, their bodies are too weak, and it is estimated that they will need to recuperate for a while before their bodies can recover!"
Cun Qi took a cursory look at these rescued prisoners of war, and it was obvious that the little devil was deliberately exchanging these weak soldiers, and the weaker the body, the worse the combat effectiveness, and it might even be a burden to the New 33rd Army.
But the commander of the Japanese army did not expect that even these burdens had been rescued, and the new 33rd Army had taken such a big advantage, how could the commander of the Japanese army not be angry.
After Liao Jundong was happy, he calmed down, he had to find a way to deal with the negotiations with the Japanese commander tomorrow, as for the matter of saving the prisoners of war, he knew very well that the Japanese army must know that they did it.
After the second half of the night, the clouds in the sky are getting thicker, the air is humid and hot, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is almost summer. Liao Jundong woke up from his sleep, he had a bad dream, it was about Liao Fan, so he woke up, but after waking up, he couldn't remember what happened in the dream.
"It's good that it's a dream!" Liao Jundong did it listlessly, only to find out at this time that his neck was wet, covered with a thick military quilt, and coupled with the nervousness in his dream, he had already been wet with sweat.
Liao Jundong took a towel and wanted to wash the sweat on his body, but found that lightning and thunder had begun to roar outside the window, but it had not rained yet.
After scrubbing the body, the sky finally fell heavy raindrops, crackling on the leaves, the raindrops fell, and the outside of the house suddenly cooled a lot, but the temperature inside the house did not drop in the slightest, and the hot and humid air was like steaming buns.
Liao Jundong lay on the bed again, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and then in the dim light, he looked at his watch, it was not yet four o'clock.
He wanted to lie in bed and continue to sleep, but he couldn't sleep because the dream just now still made him flustered.
The sky seemed to have broken a big hole, and the rain was endless, and it didn't stop until dawn, and with such a heavy rain, the little devil's car would definitely not be able to hit the road. I don't know if the little devil commander will come today.
Liao Fan, who was in Datong, also looked at the heavy rain and was worried. The rain was their best chance to attack, but they didn't have enough intelligence to support them to attack, and even if it rained hard, they were going to miss this opportunity.
"What a pity! I don't know if I will wait for such a good rain! Liao Fan stretched out his hand and continued to drip rain from the eaves.
Although fighting in a harsh environment is a test for the soldiers of the New 33rd Army, if it is properly arranged, it will greatly reduce the casualties of the troops without the use of heavy weapons, but it is a pity that Liao Fan did not catch up with this opportunity.
"Brother Fan, telegram!"
Li Weimin hurriedly ran into Liao Fan's room in the heavy rain, the rain was too heavy, it was really a once-in-a-century meeting, Li Weimin ran over with an umbrella, and his whole body was soaked.
But the telegram in Li Weimin's arms was wrapped in oiled paper very well, and there was not a single raindrop.
Liao Fan looked at the telegram carefully, but the content of the telegram was not what he wanted, this telegram came from the General Headquarters of the Seventh Group Army, and it was a telegram drafted by Fu Yisheng himself. The above only expounded the process of the outbreak of the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, and did not find any reason.
Moreover, the Seventh Group also received an order to be ready to enter the battle at any time to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army in northern Shaanxi. However, there is one last sentence, that is, if necessary, Fu Yisheng will lead his troops to contain the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area and cooperate with the offensive plan of the New 33rd Army.
Liao Fan didn't get the news he wanted, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Is there no news from the Eighth Route Army?" ”
"We haven't received any telegrams about the Eighth Route Army, and neither have the National Army, I'm afraid they're all focused on each other now, and they don't have time to pay attention to us at all!"
Now that a large-scale conflict has broken out between the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region, where can I take care of a telegram sent by the New 33rd Army, at this time both the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Army are occupied by the situation on the battlefield.
"It seems that I can only send a telegram to Chongqing!"
"Can Chongqing ignore us?" Li Weimin thought to himself, although they belonged to the battle sequence of the national army, but Chairman Jiang had already regarded the new 33rd Army as a thorn in his side, and it would be strange to be able to ignore Liao Fan at this time.
"Whether you don't manage the meeting or ignore it, we all have to send it, it's not just about their personal interests! Send my original telegram to Chen Cheng and Wei Lihuang at the same time, and see what news they have where! ”
Li Weimin braved the heavy rain and left. Liao Fan was in a sad mood, now the Japanese army is about to make a big move, but the two sides are fighting hotly, and both sides have ignored Liao Fan at all.
Just when Liao Fan was thinking about how to solve the contradiction between the two political parties, in the north of Datong City, a soldier braved the heavy rain to run towards Datong, but his speed did not seem to be much different from walking, and the thick raindrops hit his weak body, as if he could hit him at any time.
Although this warrior kept stumbling, walking in the rain with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he never fell down and kept moving towards Datong. Faith sustains him, those sacrificed companions sustain him, and his company commander sustains him......
He hadn't eaten for a day, and all he had at this time was the belief in his heart, and he ran all the way and was beaten all the way by the heavy rain.
In the end, his belief still did not overcome the limits of human strength, and finally he fell into the pouring rain, and the rain gradually washed away the last vitality of his body.
After the rain, the rain finally stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on the water droplets of the young leaves, which were crystal clear and reflected the beautiful eyes. After some baptism, Datong City has become very beautiful.
Citizens took to the streets of Datong, Datong became bustling again, and as the weather warmed, Datong's economy also flourished.
The patrol found the body of a soldier in a quagmire in Sanlidi, north of the city, and the platoon commander who led the team only recognized it as their soldier, but did not know that this soldier was a scout arranged by Li Weimin.
The situation was reported layer by layer, and by the time Li Weimin learned of the situation, two hours had passed.
The soldier's body had been soaked white by the rain, but his appearance could still be clearly identified, this was indeed a scout sent by Li Weimin.
"Where did you find it?" Li Weimin's face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Three miles north of the city, the body we found while patrolling!" Platoon commander report.
"Why didn't you find it this morning?"
For Li Weimin, who was accustomed to seeing dead people, he could know at a glance how long this warrior had been dead, and he had no wounds on his body, he must have fainted from exhaustion, and then gradually lost his life in the rain.
"We weren't on patrol this morning!" The platoon commander said.
"Call all the soldiers on duty this morning!"
Li Weimin's heart was full of anger, a soldier did not die in the hands of the enemy, but indirectly in the hands of his own people, so how could he not let him nest in the fire. Li Weimin began to search the body of the dead soldier, since he was a scout, he returned alone, and he must have important information with him.
Sure enough, Li Weimin found a tightly wrapped silk map under the right abdomen of his body, which was a map used by scouts to record the enemy's situation.
Looking at the map, Li Weimin held the dead soldier's hand tightly: "Brother, I have worked hard for you, I can rest in peace, I Li Weimin can't stand you!" ”
After a while, the company commander in charge of this morning's patrol was called, and when he saw the corpse lying on the stretcher, he knew something bad was wrong.
"Your company is on patrol this morning?" Li Weimin asked the company commander.
"Right...... Right...... But ......" the company commander began to stutter.
"I ask you if your company is in charge of patrolling!" Li Weimin yelled directly at the company commander.
"Yes!"
"Why didn't you find it?" Li Weimin pointed to the corpse of the soldier.
"Commander...... Teachers...... You listen to me explain that it was raining too hard this morning, and we ......."
"Are you not patrolling or are you discounted?"
The company commander lowered his head, this morning their company was in charge of patrolling, but due to heavy rain, the area they should be responsible for patrolling was reduced by half, so no abnormalities were found.
"You don't have to be a company commander, be a soldier, if you can still take on the responsibility of a company commander in the future, I will consider bringing you up again, if you are still so overwhelmed, you will be a soldier for the rest of your life!"
As soon as he left, the regiment commander and the battalion commander rushed over, because they knew that something was wrong, and if something happened in the troops, not only the company commander was responsible, but the battalion commander was also responsible.
Li Weimin just glanced at the two of them, and continued to walk towards Liao Fan's residence, the regiment commander and the battalion commander followed closely behind him and did not dare to speak.
"You two don't have to follow me, the big war is coming, the most taboo thing in the army is to change generals, for your punishment, I will look at your performance in this battle, this problem will be noted for you first, go back and take the troops!" Li Weimin suddenly stopped and said to the regiment commander and battalion commander under his command, "Cremate the corpse of the soldier and transport it back to Taihang Mountain for burial!" ”
Li Weimin was not in the mood to set off on them at this time, especially on the eve of the war, and changing generals was the biggest taboo. What Li Weimin needs most now is to exchange the scout's life for the intelligence and give it to Liao Fan.
