After listening to Hu Yi's explanation of the conditions proposed by Li Youde, Ding Deyi fell into deep thought.
Hekouying, southeast of Lushuipu, has three puppet army companies stationed there to assist the Japanese in controlling the public security in the northern part of Meixian. In the battle some time ago, the puppet army in Hekouying suffered heavy losses, and it is unknown what size it has recovered to now.
It is relatively easy to fight against the puppet army, but I just can't figure out what Li Youde can get from this? No matter what, Ding Deyi will not believe that Li Youde has a change of heart and wants to fight against Japan and save the country. This must be a use, using the independent regiment as a thug. Could it be that someone in the Hekou Camp offended him
I couldn't figure it out anyway, so I stopped thinking about it. Whether it was fighting the Japanese or the puppet army, it was my job. From this point of view, this deal would not lose money, so I had to do it.
The messenger Xiaodou was sent to leave the wine station and return to Dabei Village to inform the regiment commander to prepare for the operation. Su Qing returned along the same route. The supplies were now in place, but it was still a hassle to get into the mountain. The mountain pass had to be cleared once before we could get in. The ninth platoon definitely didn't have enough people, so the regiment commander had to arrange the rest.
The progress made Ding Deyi feel better. In fact, he should have returned to Dabeizhuang together, but the wine station was so quiet and leisurely that it made people feel very comfortable. Ding Deyi was so comfortable that he started to practice fishing all day long. He became more and more excited the more he fished, so he decided to give himself a few days off.
Luo Fugui climbed out of the bunker sleepily and stretched himself. The political commissar was here, and it was embarrassing to lie down and take a nap in the house in broad daylight, so he moved directly into the bunker to live, under the pretext of "fighting at the post day and night", and he had to ensure the safety of the leader without closing his eyes.
He looked up and saw that it was already noon. He touched his belly and prepared to find something to eat. He turned back to remind Xu Xiao, who had been on guard in the bunker, not to be lazy, and then walked into the base along the communication trench.
When they arrived at the open space, they found that there was another sign under the big tree in the middle of the open space. Under the sign that read "Wine Station", there was a new sign made of several pieces of wood nailed together. It was larger in size. The little girl was writing and drawing on the sign, and Wu Shitou was standing beside her.
"Hey girl, what are you doing, you naughty kid?"
Xiao Hongying was busy holding a piece of chalk. She didn't need to look back to know it was the lazy bear. She continued to draw while answering, "The political commissar said that as training improves, awareness should also be improved. He praised my good drawing and suggested that I write slogans and draw blackboard newspapers. I asked Li Xiang to make this sign. How is it? Is it big enough? Hmm?"
Luo Fugui squinted his eyes and smacked his lips: "Besides a turtle, what else can you draw? This guy is getting excited. Is he going to use such a big place to prepare a big turtle?"
Xiao Hongying immediately got angry, bent down, grabbed a handful of sand, turned around and threw it at Luo Fugui.
Luo Fugui dodged and continued to make eyes at the little girl to disgust her.
"Throw him into the river, you idiot!"
Wu Shitou looked at Luo Fugui woodenly, but his eyes were a little sharp.
"What the hell are you looking at? I'm your squad leader!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shitou rushed towards Luo Fugui. In Wu Shitou's mind, Hu Yicai was the squad leader. The squad leader said that the girl was his first task, and the deputy squad leader was not allowed to do that!
After a while of tumbling and struggling, there was a splash sound coming from the beach. Luo Fugui wiped the sweat off his body, patted the sand off his body, pointed at Wu Shitou who fell into the river and said, "I warn you, don't keep pestering me. If you continue to pester me, I will be rude to you!"
Wu Shitou rushed out of the river and onto the beach, starting the second round of attack.
"You annoying thing! I'll just jump down by myself..."
…
Hu Yi stepped out of the door, looked at the small braid in the middle of the open space, then looked at the piece of nailed together wooden board, and his eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
Xiao Hongying turned around and saw Hu Yi coming out. She immediately asked with great excitement: "Fox, how about taking a look? Hmm?"
After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Not bad, you actually wrote eight characters in one breath, it's not easy. The painting is also good, both are good."
"Hehehe, there are a few words that I didn't know before, and Li Xiang taught me." The little girl was very proud.
Hu Yi was speechless. It was usually harder than climbing to the sky for her to learn to write, but now she was actively asking for improvement. It seemed that there was something wrong with her teaching method and she needed to review it. So he said, "That... girl, I think... you still need to change this."
"Huh? Why do we need to change it?" The little braided girl tilted her head in confusion.
Hu Yi said seriously, "Since it is a slogan, it must be appealing and contagious, don't you think? You should think about it carefully. I will go check all the sentries first."
Hu Yi left. The little girl tilted her head and looked at her work and muttered, "Appeal? What does that mean?"
On the wooden board was a picture of an ugly little girl with two pigtails, and next to it were eight big characters written crookedly: Comrade Hongying is invincible in the world.
…
Su Qing and Xiaodou arrived at the regiment headquarters in Dabizhuang. After receiving the news, the regiment commander immediately arranged for the guard platoon to stay in Dabizhuang, and Su Qing would take charge of the work. The fourth company from Xinghua Village was pulled over, and after joining the first company, they followed the regiment commander to the wine station.
Wu Yan, the commander of the first company, suggested to the regiment commander that the fourth company should stay behind and bring the guard platoon out, because the fourth company was full of new recruits, and more than 100 people were using more than 30 guns, which was really limited. The regiment commander did not accept the suggestion. He had no choice but to bring the fourth company out. If he did not bring them, they would always be new recruits.
They hurried along the way, and before the sun set, a team of more than 200 people from the fourth company arrived at the wine station.
When Political Commissar Ding Deyi arrived at the wine station, he paid more attention to the crops, the river, and the scenery, and felt that this place was like a paradise. The regiment commander was also here for the first time, but he had a different perspective from the Political Commissar. He felt that this riverside peninsula was an interesting choice, and that they could defend or escape, and they could also drift out directly along the river. This place was a good choice.
The team drove directly into the wine station. The regiment commander was still circling the bunker at the entrance. Hu Yi's earthwork skills were unmatched in the independent regiment. The Kuomintang was really good at building bunkers. He looked up and down, left and right, and finally went inside to see everything. He saw it all clearly and then walked into the station.
An open space appeared under the setting sun, and a big tree in the middle attracted the group leader's attention. On it was a wooden sign with the words "Wine Station". Like all the people who had just arrived here, the group leader was also wondering, was it "Nine Station" or "Wine Station"
Looking down again, it looked like a notice board made of several pieces of wood nailed together. There was an ugly girl with pigtails drawn in chalk, and seven big crooked words written next to it: Learn from Comrade Hongying!
The team leader was speechless, and his head was black. Who is this... an example? Is it guilty or not
While he was thinking under the tree whether he should use the same trick to teach the little girl a lesson and avenge her bicycle loss, he was pulled to the beach by the political commissar and started to study the action plan directly.
The goods were in Luoye Village, and the gun tower construction site at the mountain pass was only a few miles away from Luoye Village. The operation was not complicated. The 9th Platoon first went down the river, picked up the goods at Luoye Village, and waited; the 1st and 4th companies attacked the gun tower construction site, and after successfully occupying it, the 9th Platoon brought the goods back through the mountain pass, and the operation was over. It was that simple.
There is a squad of Japanese devils on the construction site. The puppet army was originally a company, but now it has been destroyed by the Ninth Platoon and has lost at least one-third of its troops. The enemy's main firepower is a Type 99 light machine gun. No matter how weak the First and Fourth Companies are, they can still take it down before the enemy reinforcements arrive.
At this point, everyone had no objection, so they went their separate ways to prepare, waiting for this not-so-complicated operation to begin.
