After a day and a night, Hu Yi woke up. He could still remember most of what happened on the playground the day before, but it seemed unreal to him. Only after Xiao Hongying, who was guarding the bed, recounted the story did he feel certain that it was not fake.
I killed Gao Yidao and injured many people in the Second Company. I guess this feud is over. It doesn't matter. I'm not familiar with your Second Company. I don't care what you think. Hu Yi was more concerned about his own problems. The hallucinations that occasionally accompanied the headaches made Hu Yi start to worry. What's wrong with him? Is he sick? Or is there something wrong with his brain? Did the bombing on the machine gun position destroy his brain? Of course, he had no way of knowing whether this was a symptom of "battlefield syndrome" and was full of doubts.
His whole body ached, especially his headache. Hu Yi supported himself on the edge of the bed and sat up. He tried to stand up and walk around, but was stopped by Xiao Hongying.
"Fox, does it hurt? I think you should just lie down."
"It's okay, they're just bruises. It's more uncomfortable to lie down, so it's more comfortable to move." Hu Yi got off the ground with a grin, swayed a few steps slowly, and said, "I've made a big mess this time. Did the regiment say how to deal with it?"
Xiao Hongying chuckled: "The regiment commander and political commissar led the entire regiment to leave the day before. How could they have the time to deal with you? Now only the second company is left here."
After exercising for a while, Hu Yi felt much more relaxed and finally decided to go out for some fresh air.
The playground was still the same playground, the Second Company was still the same Second Company, and Hu Yi and Xiao Hongying appeared at the edge of the playground again. Gao Yidao was still directing the Second Company's drills, and when he looked up, he saw the big and small one at the edge of the playground again, and he couldn't help but get angry. This ****, actually jumped out again, and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
Hu Yi and Xiao Hongying stopped when they heard that, and tilted their heads at the same time to look at Gao Yidao walking towards them.
Gao Yidao felt very embarrassed. In terms of skills, Hu Yi was definitely not his opponent. He lost because Hu Yi had used a fatal blow. Instead of fighting with a bayonet, he hit him with a gun and caught him off guard. He had to make him pay for it no matter what. With a dark face, he stood in front of Hu Yi and said, "Let's have another match. There will be no rules this time!"
Another fight? Hu Yi regretted the last fight. Gao Yidao's skills were indeed amazing. If he hadn't fought him at all, who knows what would have happened to him. He ended up in this situation and suffered so much. It was not worth it. So he said calmly, "No need to fight. You win. I can't beat you."
On the one hand, Hu Yi said this to calm things down, but on the other hand it was also the truth. The other party did have good skills, so there was nothing wrong with saying this.
But to Gao Yidao, these words sounded like a loud slap in the face. This was a deliberate humiliation. I won? My head is wrapped in gauze like a dumpling. How could I win? He was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He gasped and gritted his teeth and said, "You are good. You are really a great man. I'm telling you clearly that you have to compete in this match. You have no choice."
Seeing Gao Yidao's aggressive attitude, Xiao Hongying couldn't help but come over and try to argue with him.
Seeing Gao Yidao in front of him with his head covered in gauze, eyes wide open and breathing heavily, Hu Yi almost laughed. Looking at his posture, he couldn't dodge, so he might as well delay it for now. He grabbed Xiao Hongying who was about to speak and said to Gao Yidao, "Okay, okay, I'll compete. But I can't do it now. I have a headache and I feel dizzy when I walk. You have to let me recover from my injuries."
After saying this, without waiting for Gao Yidao to react, he took Xiao Hongying and left, strolling up the East Mountain.
There is an East Mountain and a West Mountain. The East Mountain is steep while the West Mountain is gentle. A small path in the valley passes through Wuming Village. Standing on the East Mountain, you can have a clear view. Wuming Village is hidden in the mountains and is inconspicuous. It is more than a hundred miles away from the nearest Japanese-occupied area, Meixian County. There are spies in the scattered villages, who will send news if they find any abnormalities, so it has been safe all the time. There are only sentries at the two road heads in the south and north of the village.
The Japanese from Meixian drove straight in this time, avoiding irrelevant villages along the way, marching all night, and swept Black Wind Mountain in the middle of the night. They thought they were the Eighth Route Army or guerrillas, but they turned out to be just a few dozen bandits. After a short rest, they continued their journey and headed straight for the nameless village.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Hu Yi forgot about the annoying things in the Second Company for a moment and felt a little more relaxed. The wind had been blowing for a long time and even the sunshine began to make him feel cold. He was about to go back to the village when he noticed something unusual at the south end of the village.
It was far away and not very clear, but it was certain that there were more than a dozen figures hiding in the blind spot of the sentry post on the south path, slowly retreating and quietly slipping away.
"Hey, fox, why don't you leave?" Xiao Hongying noticed that Hu Yi stopped, squinting his eyes and staring in one direction without moving.
"The devils are coming."
"What? Japs?" Xiao Hongying hurried over and stood beside Hu Yi, following Hu Yi's gaze to the south. "Where are they? I can't see them."
Hu Yi knew that this should be the Japanese reconnaissance squad that went out. They found the nameless village and the sentry outside the village. Now they have to go back to report the reconnaissance situation to the main force. How many Japanese forces are there? How far are they from here? Hu Yi looked around. The rolling mountains blocked his vision. There was nothing in the visible range. Since they came from afar, they must have a lot. He raised his hand and pushed Xiao Hongying: "Hurry up, we can't delay any longer!"
"What? The Japanese are coming?" Gao Yidao stood on the playground and looked at Hu Yi and Xiao Hongying in disbelief. This matter really couldn't be vague, Gao Yidao quickly ordered the soldiers around him to go to the sentry post in the south of the village to find out the situation, and asked others: "Is there anyone on duty at the regiment headquarters?"
A soldier answered: "Yes, it is Ma Liang who is on duty."
"Call him to me now."
Ma Liang was unable to leave with the team. As a new recruit, he was ordered to stay behind at the regiment headquarters to receive letters and messages. Upon hearing the call from the soldiers of the second company, he immediately ran to the playground.
Before Ma Liang could stand still, Gao Yidao asked, "Ma Liang, have you received any intelligence from your spies in the past two days? Or any news from the guerrillas?"
"No." Ma Liang answered immediately.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
The soldier in charge of patrolling outside also hurried back: "Report, everything is normal at the sentry post, nothing has happened."
Gao Yidao nodded, was silent for a moment, and then ordered his subordinates: "Send a squad now, and go five miles south to investigate the situation."
Seeing Gao Yidao still hesitating, Hu Yi said, "Time is of the essence now. We can't waste any more time. Let the villagers evacuate first, and we will retreat north immediately. Maybe we can still make it in time."
Gao Yidao raised his head and looked at Hu Yi. If anyone else had said this, he would have believed it. But it was Hu Yi who said this. Even Xiao Hongying on the mountain said she didn't see him. Adding to the old hatred, Gao Yidao had more thoughts in his mind. Was this kid trying to drug me? Was he afraid of making an enemy of me, so he wanted to take the opportunity to escape again? His dog head was just hit by our second company the day before yesterday. Was he dazzled and confused
So he said to Hu Yi impatiently: "Alright, stop talking nonsense and wait until the investigation results are confirmed." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Although Xiao Hongying didn't see the devils, she believed Hu Yi's words absolutely, but she didn't have the same high sense of crisis as Hu Yi. Seeing the second company commander Gao Yidao just leave, she tugged at the corner of Hu Yi's clothes and said, "Fox, Gao Yidao is a bastard who won't cry until he sees the coffin. Let's see what he has to say when he comes back from the investigation!"
Hu Yi sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If we really wait until the reconnaissance news comes back, I'm afraid the Japs will also surround the village."
Hu Yi's words not only made Xiao Hongying feel nervous, but also Ma Liang, who was standing next to her, shuddered. What should I do
