The young man was grabbed by Chen Jie, grinning with pain in his hands, and kept gasping. Chen Jie reacted and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm Chen Jie, I was too anxious just now." Tan Zhongping is my brother, where is he now? ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are the famous Deputy Division Commander Chen, I really don't know Mount Tai!" The young man hurriedly saluted: "Cai Guangtian, the captain of the fourth squad of the Motianling guerrillas, reports to the deputy division commander!" By the way, our captain and vice-captain were both wounded, and they had to run on their backs, just in the woods in front. ”

"Take me over quickly, you see this thing!"

Chen Jie couldn't help but be anxious, because not long ago, Bai Shujie also mentioned in the telegram that Tan Zhongping and Huang Suzhen asked him to reorganize them. At that time, he felt that this guerrilla force was only 17 people, and there was no point in reorganizing it. How is it that in less than three months, there is already a large army of nearly two hundred people?

After walking all the way for more than 500 meters, Chen Jie finally saw Tan Zhongping, his thigh and left arm were bandaged, and he was now lying on a temporary stretcher. There was also a stretcher next to it, and there was a long-haired woman, who was supposed to be in a coma.

Chen Jie didn't bother to say hello, he took three steps and two steps to the woman's stretcher, grabbed his right arm and began to check his pulse. He has been hunting since he was a child, and he has been in the army, so he understands some basic common sense.

After putting Huang Suzhen's arm away, Chen Jie stared at Tan Zhongping and asked, "Tan Zhongping, where is your wife's injury?" ”

"Commander, that's a long story!" Tan Zhongping's tears suddenly fell: "Su Zhen is injured in the back, she has been injured for five days, and the medicine has been used up for the soldiers." But the little devil chased after her, and there was no place to find medicine, and now she can only resist one day at a time, and it will be her life to survive. ”

"Situ Xiong, hurry up and take out the anti-inflammatory drugs and bandages!" Chen Jie was injured in his back when he heard it, and this matter was still more troublesome. Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring back Shao Benliang's two newspaper operators, who were two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls!

"The others obeyed my command and turned backwards on the spot! Ten steps forward - go! Everyone is on alert, and no one is allowed to move! Chen Jie said to the machine gun squad leader: "You led the soldiers to hurry up the fire, the wounds of the wounded and sick are very seriously inflamed, and they must be bandaged immediately." It's cold now, and at least four fires are needed! ”

The two arrested operators temporarily changed their careers to become nurses, so they naturally got into a hurry. Chen Jie asked Tan Zhongping to be lifted to the other side, and personally redressed his wounds. Tan Zhongping told Huang Suzhen about his injury.

It turned out that this time they were not prepared to gather the guerrillas scattered in various places, but Shao Benliang pulled the net all the way, and there was no way to concentrate it. Zuihou buried the heavy machine guns of the Waist Ridge secret camp, took all the ammunition and began to move eastward.

After more than a year of development, the Ferris Ridge guerrillas have grown to 271 people, with 12 crooked light machine guns, and are organized into five squads. Eight days ago, the five squads were finally forced to collide and retreat eastward from Saimaji, with Zuihou trapped in Ferris Ridge.

Later, the enemy used mountain artillery to bombard, and almost all the machine guns were blown up, and Zuihou still had three machine guns left as a barrier for Zuihou. Unexpectedly, the enemy used covering artillery bombardment, and seeing that the machine gun was about to be lost, Huang Suzhen flew up and pressed the machine gun under him. As a result, the machine gun was saved, but Huang Suzhen was seriously wounded.

It was precisely because of the fire support of these three machine guns that the Ferris Ridge guerrillas were able to hold out until the Zuihou juncture. If it weren't for the exhaustion of ammunition and food, they wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"Division commander, I'm sorry commander-in-chief!" Tan Zhongping's voice choked: "When the commander-in-chief handed over these weapons to me, they were all good haode. But today you see, all the machine guns were blown up, and more than half of the rifles were blown off! The brothers also died 85 people in the battle, what did you make me have the face to see the commander-in-chief! ”

Speaking of zuihou, Tan Zhongping couldn't hold back any longer, and finally cried loudly, and everyone present shed tears with him!

In particular, the fighters of the machine gun squad and the communications platoon did not know until today that the partisans who were stuck in the heart of the enemy regarded the weapons in their hands as more important than their own lives! Some of the partisans had their rifles and butts blown off, but they were tied with wooden sticks and carried on their shoulders.

What kind of spirit is this? This is the real spirit of "even if there is still a breath, we must fight to the death!" ”

It was from this moment that these fighters looked at the guerrillas in tattered clothes in front of them, and their eyes were full of respect from the bottom of their hearts!

This group of guerrillas may not have the standard military posture of those regular troops, nor the neat clothing of those regular troops, nor the supporting equipment of the regular army.

However, the fierce murderous spirit revealed by them, and the fearless and indomitable desperate spirit revealed by them, are not possessed by most regular troops!

Between the white mountains and black waters of the three eastern provinces, it is precisely because of such a group of people that the little devils cannot devote all their energy to the frontal battlefield!

The most admirable people should be them! The real heroes are them! They deserve it! They, and only them, are the loveliest people in the world!

"Brother, don't be sad, if the commander-in-chief knows about your heroic battle, he will definitely send a special telegram to commend you!" Chen Jie really regretted it in his heart: "You can't be blamed for this, if you want to blame, you have to blame me!" Do you remember, the last time I saw you, there were only 17 people around. ”

"That's why I thought there were only 17 of you guerrillas! If I had gathered you together, I wouldn't have suffered such a loss! The greatest responsibility for this matter should be borne by me, and I will also send a telegram to the commander-in-chief to request punishment! ”

Speaking of which, the two temporary nurses over there had already finished dressing Huang Suzhen's wounds. Situ Xiong had already heated his kettle on the fire, and took out a few anti-inflammatory pills to feed Huang Suzhen.

"The communications platoon, immediately take out all the captured uniforms and distribute them to these new comrades. In addition, untie all the water bottles on your body and heat them, and open all the dry food for your comrades to eat! ”

Chen Jie looked at the team members in front of him, and his tears never stopped: "Situ Xiong, send a report to the commander-in-chief: Motianling Tan Zhongping's department has all returned to the team." Because of Chen Jie's mistakes, the guerrillas lost 85 people and all light and heavy weapons. As a result, the guerrillas fought with the enemy with their bare hands for five days on Xinkailing, and asked the front army headquarters to give Chen Jie the most severe punishment! ”

"Tan Zhongping and Huang Suzhen paid all their efforts and even their lives for the construction of the Motianling guerrillas. They have made great contributions to our unit's persistence in the anti-Japanese struggle in the South Manchurian region, and their deeds deserve the glorious title of heroes. At present, there are still 186 fighters in the Motianling guerrillas, which were formally organized into the second company of the guard battalion of the independent regiment and were directly subordinate to the regiment headquarters. Chen Jie. ”

Chen Jie sent a telegram to Bai Shujie in public, that is, to admit his mistakes in front of all the guerrillas, and at the same time to commend their past combat experience. What do people need? What is needed is understanding and recognition! Bai Shujie did this, and Chen Jie naturally did the same.

It is inevitable for a person to make mistakes, but the courage to admit mistakes, the courage to correct one's mistakes, and the courage to take full responsibility is a valuable quality!

Half an hour later, Bai Shujie's telegram arrived: "On behalf of the 80,000 commanders and fighters of the Rehe Front, I warmly welcome the victorious return of the Motianling guerrillas and express my cordial condolences to all the members!" Admire the great victories you have achieved in the past struggles! I would like to pay my deepest tribute to you for the great sacrifices you have made! And inform the whole army, pass the order and commend the reward! ”

"On the bright red battle flag of the Rehe Front, there is your fresh. Blood! Every glory won by the Rehe Front is inseparable from the sacrifices you have made! You are the loveliest people in the Rehe Front! Your heroic deeds will also inspire more soldiers to devote themselves to the brave battle and strive for the victory of Zuihou! I hope that you will cheer up, continue to carry forward the courageous and tenacious fighting style in the future battles, and fight all aggressors and traitors to the end! Commander-in-Chief of the Rehe Front: Bai Shujie; Deputy Commander-in-Chief: Zhao Jinxi. ”

Situ Xiong read out Bai Shujie's commendation order aloud, and all the guerrillas immediately hugged each other. They didn't cheer, they didn't shout, they sobbed silently!

They didn't know Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie, nor did they know Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhao Jinxi. But what does it matter? The Rehe Front army fought the little devils in fear, as long as they are from the three eastern provinces, there is nothing they don't know! Now the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief jointly sign a commendation order, which is the greatest encouragement to myself!

So, the players were excited; So, the team members shed tears! They are happy that their efforts have been recognized, and they are also sad for those comrades who have sacrificed! All this has nothing to do with concrete things, it is purely a solace for the soul!

At half past six in the morning, it couldn't be delayed any longer. In case the little devil knows that there is no battle on the Xinkailing Mountain, and all of them come up, it will be a big trouble.

Fortunately, now the partisans have had a full meal, and the captured weapons and equipment are ready-made. As long as the players can hold it, then take it. Everything has to wait until the return to the Tianhua Mountain secret camp to further improve the system.

The partisans heard that they could do whatever they wanted, and they could take whatever they wanted. As a result, the crooked machine gun that was originally unopened was also taken out by the team members and carried on their shoulders; The mortars were supposed to be well placed on horseback, but the team members had to separate them and carry them themselves! What's even more outrageous is that the front is clearly going over the mountains and mountains, and as a result, the four sturdy team members insisted on carrying a Type 92 heavy machine gun on their shoulders!

The soldiers of the communications platoon didn't understand it at first, but after inquiring on the way, they learned that more than half of the 85 members who died were killed by Type 92 heavy machine guns when they broke through!

Now that they have their own heavy machine guns, these team members carry them to comfort those sacrificed comrades, and they will use this machine gun to avenge the sacrificed comrades in the future!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
