"Almost, huh?"

Xiucai ran at the end and began to complain. 【Latest chapter reading. They hadn't rested well in the car last night, and they were already exhausted after a long march.

Shao Fei looked back, and then said, "Continue south."

Xiucai complained again: "I want my life to die, little brother."

The pillar patted Xiucai and asked with a smile, "Are you old or young, let's go."

Shao Fei has always been uneasy in his heart. When the ambush was carried just now, it was found that the trucks of the devils transporting supplies and soldiers were too dense, which was a sign before the war. The devil's big attack may be in the next two days, and the target is Jiaozuo.

Shao Fei knew that in the eyes of those descendants, Xu Guang was cannon fodder, a tool used to consume devils. Even so, Shao Fei had already made up his mind not to help them anymore, after all, he had a task on his own. Thinking of this, Shao Fei's mood began to be dull.

The special combat team came to the previous village, and Xu Guang had already waited here. After a short rest, the troops advanced towards the place where Xu Peng had attacked Shao Fei before.

"Let's go our separate ways."

Shao Fei saluted beside the truck and prepared to leave.

Xu Guang suddenly said, "You can't go anywhere."

Shao Fei turned around and didn't understand what Xu Guang had just said, Xu Guang said to Shao Fei: "Your route is from here to Jiaozuo, and then cross the Yellow River to Zhengzhou. But you don't have a pass. Also, you are the Eighth Route Army, and it is difficult not to arouse their conjecture. ”

Shao Fei thought about it, it was true. And the other party is not a devil, and he can't kill him, so Shao Fei asked, "Is there any way?"

Xu Guang said: "Follow me back to the camp and ask the battalion commander to issue you a pass." You have helped us, the battalion commander is a very righteous person, he will definitely help you find a way. ”

Shao Fei sighed, a little helpless, he didn't want to drip this muddy water at all, and said helplessly: "That's the only way, we'll leave when we get the pass."

So, the special combat team followed Xu Guang and them to the camp of the independent battalion.

To the south of the independent battalion is the position of the main force. In the command room, a major general and brigade commander was looking at the sand table in this area, with an expression as if facing a great enemy.

At this time, a lieutenant colonel came over with a piece of paper. The lieutenant colonel had a thin face, gold-rimmed glasses, a mustache, and an appearance that gave the appearance of a man who was very deep in the city.

"Brigade Commander Mao, this is the latest intelligence, the Japanese army has begun to assemble in the north, and there is a wing. It is expected that an offensive will be launched on our positions in the next two days. Cooperate with the main force of the Japanese army in the northeast, and want to have the momentum of encircling Jiaozuo. ”

After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he handed the message to Brigade Commander Mao, who read it and put down the message and looked at the sand table again.

Half a day later, he said: "Don't call me Brigade Commander Mao, just call the brigade commander, how many times have you said it." There is a defense of the 13th Army to the east, which should be defended. It's mostly up to us. ”

Brigade Commander Mao looked at the position in front of the position, and said: "Come to our main position, they must first capture Zhang Yi's independent battalion." Pass my order and ask Zhang Yi to hold on to me for a day. ”

After hearing this, the lieutenant colonel's expression changed, and he thought it was funny, then chuckled lightly and said, "One day, I saw that those stragglers couldn't hold out for an hour. The subordinates took the liberty of asking, why does the brigade commander hate Zhang Yi so much? ”

"He doesn't know how to lift. Even when I said to my face that I had withheld military salaries and drank soldiers' blood. In a fit of rage, I transferred him to be the battalion commander of the stragglers. ”

The more the brigade commander thought about it, the more angry he became, patted the table and said, "Damn, when did Lao Tzu deduct his military salary?" That's all it has to offer, I can't leave this one of my own people alone and give it to those deserters. ”

The lieutenant colonel shook his head, showed regret, and said, "Zhang Yi will definitely die this time."

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Mao also felt sorry: "He is a talent, but it's a pity that his righteous personality is not suitable to stay in the army." The troops are not Yangsan. ”

The lieutenant colonel was about to turn around and send someone to Zhang Yi to answer the order, but was stopped by the brigade commander: "Changqing, wait a minute."

Xu Changqing turned around, but Brigade Commander Mao didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, it was said: "Modify the order, make the separate battalion strong until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, no, 2 o'clock, by the way give them 4 machine guns." By the way, tell them that as long as they can hold out until 2 p.m., they will be told to go back to Jiaozuo to rest. ”

After listening to this, Xu Changqing sighed in his heart that this person was cunning. With 4 machine guns, he just wanted to offset a little of his guilt.

More than 300 people of the independent battalion broke their guns with a few guns, how could they hold out until 2 o'clock in the afternoon in the face of the powerful Japanese field wing. Calling the independent battalion to Jiaozuo is to give them hope that they can hold on a little longer and have more time to eliminate more devils for their troops.

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing began to pity the independent battalion.

Xu Guang took Shao Fei and them to the camp at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Yi was immediately annoyed when he learned that Xu Guang had returned, and walked out of the camp with a guard angrily.

"I told you to scout the devils, where are you going to die!?"

Zhang Yi asked loudly before he walked in front of Xu Guang.

"On the way back from our reconnaissance, we found a devil truck,......"

"Wait."

Without waiting for Xu Guang to explain, Zhang Yi found Shao Fei and the supplies they were carrying, and asked, "Why did you bring the Eighth Road here?" What's going on with this material? ”

Xu Guang complained in his heart, he was obviously reporting this matter, and it was you who broke me off.

Subsequently, Xu Guang reported everything that happened today to Zhang Yi.

"Amazing, haha."

Zhang Yi laughed heartily after hearing this, and instructed Xu Guang to distribute the materials evenly to each company. Then he half-pulled and half-pushed Shao Fei to his camp.

Shao Fei barely spoke from just now to now, and all the time periods were occupied by Zhang Yi. Shao Fei likes bold people, but it's not a good thing to be too enthusiastic.

Zhang Yi asked Shao Fei to sit in his place, poured tea and water for Shao Fei, and said bluntly: "I have admired two kinds of people in my life. One is a capable person; The second is a person who stresses righteousness. ”

Zhang Yi said, patted his chest and said, "I, Zhang Yi, have no ability, but I am righteous." I treat every soldier like my own brother, so they are willing to fight with me and kill the little devils. ”

Zhang Yi kept chattering, and Shao Fei listened to it while drinking tea. Shao Fei knew that he was not bragging. As soon as he entered the station, Shao Fei began to observe the surrounding situation, which was Shao Fei's habit. Shao Fei found that those were soldiers in tattered clothes, but their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

In fact, the soldiers of the independent battalion understand in their hearts that they are cannon fodder, and they are consuming devil shells for the descendants in the rear. Even so, they still maintain their morale, which has nothing to do with the personality of their commander.

From Zhang Yi's mouth, I learned that this was a straggler from various battlefields and formed in a short period of time. Zhang Yi didn't serve as their battalion commander for a long time, but he brought out such a unit. In Shao Fei's opinion, this person is not a simple character.

"Brother Shao Fei."

Zhang Yi called, and Shao Fei completely thought about things.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Shao Fei relieved himself and immediately apologized. Zhang Yi waved his hand happily and said, "I know that you smart people are always distracted, just like my sworn brother. He listens to me and can fall asleep. ”

"Huh." Shao Fei smiled ashamedly.

Zhang Yi said boldly: "Brother, you have done a great favor to the independent battalion today, and yours is my Zhang Yi's business." ”

"Thank you very much."

Shao Fei said lightly, and all the surrounding aura was overpowered by Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi waved his hand: "I can't get a pass, but I have the certificate." I don't ask you what you're doing in the south, but that doesn't mean they don't. So you need to change your identity and put on our uniforms. ”

While they were discussing this time, Xu Changqing walked in with someone and was very surprised to see Shao Fei.

"How come there is an Eighth Route Army here?"

Shao Fei stood up and said, "Passing by."

"Passing by?" Xu Changqing gave Shao Fei a lot of time and asked, "Which part?"

Shao Fei paused and replied truthfully: "Yanbei Detachment, Shuangfei Brigade, Shao Fei."

"Shao Fei!" Xu Changqing's expression changed, as if he knew the name, and then said: "I have something to talk about with Camp Chief Zhang, can you avoid it?"

"Okay." Shao Fei left the tent.

Xu Changqing waved his hand and asked his subordinates to go out too, and he wanted to talk to Zhang Yi alone. After his subordinates left, Xu Changqing handed the order to Zhang Yi and said: "The brigade headquarters ordered that tomorrow the devils will launch an attack, and ordered your department to hold out until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then withdraw to Jiaozuo to rest."

Zhang Yi looked at the order and sneered: "2 o'clock in the afternoon, hehe." Then he sighed and said, "When you are cannon fodder, there will always be this day." ”
