"It's time to eat."

As soon as the little devil's counterattack was repulsed, the brothers in the cooking class carried the barrel cat waist into the trenches.

"Old squad leader, what is delicious to eat." Seeing the arrival of the cooking class, the hungry brothers rushed over as they asked.

"Sweet potato porridge."

"What do you mean, the brothers are desperate in front, just give us this?!" When the brothers saw the gruel that was clear, they were furious.

"Brothers, I can't help it, just this little thing, it was sent by the villagers in the nearby village, otherwise we would have stopped a long time ago." The cooking squad leader also had a bitter face, very helpless.

The conditions in the occupied areas were already difficult, and it was difficult to get some supplies to give priority to regular troops such as the 89th Army and the Security Brigade, and their guerrillas had almost no meals.

This time, I wanted to recover Gaoyou and grab rations from the devil's mouth, but who knew that the war would be so stalemate, and the guerrilla officers and soldiers had not yet attacked and had nothing to eat.

"Brethren! Listen to me. ”

Just as the brothers were clamoring to find Commander Ma for food, Ma Yuren, the commander of the first guerrilla major general, came over with a few guards and staff officers.

"Commander—"

Seeing the guerrilla commander Ma Yuren coming over, the brothers all got out of the way.

Commander Ma Yuren stood still in the crowd, his eyes glancing around the surrounding brothers, and his heart ached faintly when he saw the scrawny, emaciated and tired officers and soldiers.

"Brothers, it's not my intention to let the brothers go hungry and fight, don't hide it from everyone, we already have no food, and we won't even have sweet potato porridge tomorrow morning."

As soon as Commander Ma Yuren's words fell, there was a buzz in the trenches, after all, they were all fighting with their heads pinned to their waists, but they couldn't even eat enough, so what kind of battle was there to fight.

"But I know of a place where there is food, and canned food!" General Ma Yuren changed his words and pointed in the direction of Gaoyou City, where black smoke was billowing out.

"The grain collected by the little devils from everywhere is hoarded in the city, as long as Gaoyou City is laid, we will not only have rice to eat, but also meat to eat!"

"Take Gaoyou, drink wine and eat meat!" Some of the brothers raised their arms and shouted.

The brothers roared in a surge of emotion, and their eyes looked at the smoke-filled Gaoyou City as if they had seen a piece of fat with oil on it.

"Good! Let's attack after this meal, enter Gaoyou, and have breakfast in Gaoyou City tomorrow! Commander Ma Yuren also shouted loudly.

"Brothers, come, line up for dinner." The cooking squad leader also took the opportunity to shout.

Spoonfuls of gruel were put into the brothers' rice bowls, and although they could see the bottom of it, they could not care so much when they were hungry, so they took the bowl and poured it into their mouths.

The veteran Luo Feng also took a big bowl of gruel, walked to the trench ammunition box and sat down, raised his neck and began to drink.

Suddenly there was a sound in the trenches, not like drinking gruel, but eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"What's your name?" Commander Ma Yuren walked up to the veteran Luo Feng and asked.

Luo Feng saw the guerrilla commander walking up to him, and hurriedly put down the bowl and stood up to salute, but the hand that had just been raised quickly stood up.

Because he remembered that there were a lot of elite marksmen on the devil's side, but they were specifically staring at the officers of the Chinese army, and he couldn't harm the commander.

"Report, Luo Feng, 3rd Infantry Company of the 5th Detachment."

Ma Yuren looked at Luo Feng's burly and thin body, and nodded with satisfaction: "I saw you fighting devils in the telescope just now, and you commanded very well." ”

The sudden compliment made the veteran Luo Feng very uncomfortable, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and replied loudly: "It's all cultivated by the commander!" ”

"You, you're talking nonsense," although Ma Yuren's mouth was reproaching, the smile on his face showed that he was very interested in this sentence.

"Would you like to be the deputy company commander of my guard battalion?" Commander Ma Yuren asked Luo Feng.

Although Luo Feng has fought a lot of battles, his unit has been defeated every time it fights with devils, and it has been a rout and straggler countless times, and it has also been collected many times.

And the new troops are all controlled by the descendants of their respective commanders, and he naturally can't get an official and a half position as an outsider, so he has always been the head soldier.

And now he is valued by Commander Ma Yuren, and he has jumped from a big soldier to an officer at the level of deputy company commander, and it is false to say that he does not want to.

But when he looked back at the dusty and blood-stained brothers in the trenches, he hesitated for a moment but shook his head: "I want to stay with my brothers. ”

"Boy, don't be ignorant!" Seeing Luo Feng shaking his head, a staff officer behind him immediately shouted angrily.

"What are you doing, step down." Ma Yuren's face sank, and he dismissed the disrespectful staff officer.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force it, but I won't take back what I said today, when do you want to come to my guard camp, you can do it at any time, and you can protect you as a company-level officer."

Commander Ma Yuren was not angry, he was still pleasant, which made Luo Feng uncomfortable.

"Tonight we will launch a night attack on Gaoyou, take your brothers to fight well, if you are the first to attack Gaoyou, I will give you credit!"

"Yes!" Luo Feng stepped forward and responded.

After giving some words of encouragement to the brothers in the trenches, Commander Ma Yuren went into the trenches and walked towards another position, disappearing from view.

"Brothers, cheer up Lao Tzu and enter Gaoyou City, and I will invite the big guy to drink when the time comes!"

Luo Feng was also re-infused with strength at this moment, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

As night fell, the cold guns and cannons on the battlefield were still ringing, but compared to the dark fighting during the day, the brothers did not feel anything about these cold guns.

The order for the night battle had been given to all the troops, although the guerrilla forces under Commander Ma Yuren had been reduced to a broken division.

Many companies had no officers and men in ten, but after being reorganized, many combat companies were formed.

The only remaining grenades and bullets had been fired, the bayonets and broadswords had been polished, and the brothers knew that they had no way out, and that the only way to avoid starving to death was to move forward and take Gaoyou City.

Veteran Luo Feng was temporarily appointed as the acting platoon commander, and many of the more than 30 brothers under his command were survivors of other companies in addition to his old brothers.

They were exhausted by a day of fierce fighting, and after dinner they did not move around, but hid in the trenches to seize the time to replenish their strength and recharge their strength for the upcoming night battle.

Although flares rose from time to time, and cold guns and cannons sounded in their ears, for Luo Feng and other veterans, there was no longer the slightest impact, and soon snoring sounded in the trenches.

When Commander Ma Yuren was about to launch a night attack on the devils in Gaoyou City, danger was approaching in the reeds that rose and fell in the cold wind behind their position.

More than 100 elite little devils are quietly lurking in this bullying reed, they are silent like ghosts, and a pair of cold eyes are looking through the night, observing the stars and fires ahead, where is the position of the guerrillas.

"Chief Makino, five hundred meters to the left is their command post."

A little devil covered in a camouflage net lightly burrowed into the reeds from the cat's waist in the distance, and whispered to the ghostly devil Shaosa Makino Kanan.

The target of Makino Kanan's skeleton special team in Jiangsu was to set up the deputy headquarters of the Sulu Theater in Xinghua.

However, halfway through the process, they received a telegram that Gaoyou City was in danger and asked them to support Gaoyou's operations nearby, so they had to make a detour to Gaoyou City, where they were ready to train with the guerrilla commanders here.
