Two months later, it was November. The weather in the west was already very cold. Most of the wounded had returned to the army. Hu Hao was no longer enthusiastic about the mission. He just dawdled every day. Regiment Commander Zhang didn't have the time to care about him now. He might have a combat mission soon. Other than eating and sleeping, he was at his regiment headquarters every day.
Hu Hao had just moved a chair and laid down at the door of his room to bask in the sun. The warmth felt so good that she fell asleep in a short while.
In his sleep, someone kicked him. At first, Hu Hao was too lazy to pay attention to him. It was more comfortable to sleep under the sun, but that person was endless.
"Who is it? "Disturbing Grandpa's sleep?" Hu Hao couldn't take it anymore. He opened his eyes and sat up, cursing.
"Ah, brother, why are you back? Weren't you always at the regiment headquarters?”Hu Hao saw that it was Commander Zhang, and he was staring at him. Hu Hao immediately stood up and said,
" You little brat, sleeping in broad daylight? Grandpa? Who are you?" Regiment Commander Zhang started fighting again.
" Hey, brother." Hu Hao could only dodge.
Regiment Commander Zhang probably didn't want to argue with Hu Hao anymore, so he stopped after about ten hits.
" Alright, go inside and pack your weapons and ammunition. The troops are about to set off," Commander Zhang said.
"Is there going to be a war?" Hu Hao went to Commander Zhang and asked,
" Mm." Commander Zhang nodded." Be careful. Don't run around. I don't have that much time to take care of you. Bullets on the battlefield don't have eyes. If you don't like fighting, go to the back and move the ammunition, do you hear me?" Commander Zhang said with worry.
"Brother, don't worry. Don't you know my spear technique?!”Hu Hao said proudly,
"I believe in your marksmanship, but you? Sigh!" Regiment Commander Zhang shook his head.
" What's wrong with me? I've been very honest recently and didn't cause you any trouble. I don't even have any cigarettes left. I didn't even go to the county town to get them. I've been smoking your cigarettes recently," Hu Hao said unhappily.
" Well, not bad. I'll give you a compliment. Oh, this is for you." Commander Zhang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave it to Hu Hao.
"Brother, hehe, where did you get this from? Hu Hao happily took the cigarette, opened the package, took out one from inside, and handed it to Commander Zhang. Commander Zhang didn't want it.
"Oh." Hu Hao didn't know what to say.
"All right,
"Don't dawdle. Go pack your things and bring everything you need. I don't know if you can come back this time," Commander Zhang said in a low voice. As he spoke, he walked inside. Hu Hao followed behind him. When they reached the house, Hu Hao took out his gun, packed his blanket and clothes, and tied them up with rope. Regiment Commander Zhang also tied his clothes and blanket there.
"What's wrong, brother? Hu Hao asked.
" Yes, this time, the Japanese have sent four divisions to encircle and suppress our 8th Route Army. Our regiment is responsible for holding back a division of 16,000 people until the other main forces destroy a division," Commander Zhang said.
"What? Just our 2000-man team can hold down 16000 people? How is that possible? We don't even have enough ammunition! Hu Hao shouted loudly.
"What are you shouting for? This is a mission given by the higher-ups. Even if the entire team has to fight to the death, we have to complete it!”Commander Zhang said. " You brat, you brat!" The leader paused, not knowing what to say.
"What, what happened to me, brother?" Hu Hao asked.
"Forget it, Dumbo. If I'm sacrificed this time, just run away. Run to the northwest. Don't stay in the army anymore. Be a civilian! "If I'm not here, no one will take care of you. With your personality, you'll easily cause trouble in the army," Commander Zhang said with determination.
" Brother, what are you talking about? Don't worry. I won't cause trouble this time, and you'll be fine," Hu Hao said.
" Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. Anyway, if it really comes to that day, just do as I say. Let's go. The troops have already set off," Commander Zhang said as he walked out. Hu Hao followed behind him with a gun.
The troops had arrived at a mountain about 30 miles away from the village. The soldiers had already begun to build fortifications and dig trenches there.
" Brother, are the Japanese coming from the county?" Hu Hao asked.
"Yes, there are thousands of Japanese soldiers stationed around the county. They are still coming. There are a lot of guns and ammunition in the county. "This is the only way to the headquarters at the back, and it's also a place that the devils must pass through. We'll only guard here," Commander Zhang said. After arriving at the repaired command center, Commander Zhang put down the blanket and unfolded the map. The political commissar and the chief of staff were there.
" This battle is not going to be easy. We have to hold the Japanese off for so long. If we just stay here, the Japanese will probably break through in less than three days," said Advisor Li, who was also an old soldier.
" Yes, we have no danger to defend here. How can we stop the enemy with these few mountains?" Commander Zhang said." But there's nothing we can do. If the Japanese want to enter, they only need this road. We have to guard against them," Commander Zhang said.
" Then, bro, why don't we just plant mines on the roads and destroy those roads so that the devils will take more time to get here? We'll also destroy the roads behind us. We're walking on two legs anyway, and the devils need to take cars to transport ammunition. If we destroy the roads, won't the devils move slower?" Dumbo said.
"Hmm, Dumbo, that's a good idea!”Staff Officer Li's eyes lit up.
" Yes, we'll destroy the road and buy land mines on the way," Commander Zhang said with certainty.
" But we don't have many mines," the political commissar said. He was in charge of the logistics of the entire army and knew the logistics like the back of his hand.
"Brother, didn't I get a lot of grenades last time?”Hu Hao asked.
"Yes, there are quite a few. Can this be used as a landmine?”The political commissar asked,
" Yes, brother, political commissar, chief of staff, give me those. I'll get them. I guarantee that it will take the Japanese three to five days to reach our position," Hu Hao said.
"Can you guarantee that?" Commander Zhang asked,
" I dare. The army doesn't joke. I dare to issue a military pledge," Hu Hao said with certainty.
" Alright, give him those boxes of grenades," Commander Zhang said. He looked at Hu Hao and asked," What else do you need?"”
"Brother, I need more than ten warriors. Also, do we have a lot of explosives?”Hu Hao asked.
" No problem with the soldiers. I'll transfer my platoon of guards to you later. Ask the political commissar about the explosives," Commander Zhang said.
"There are still quite a number of explosives.”The political commissar asked uncertainly.
" Yes, it's good to have explosives. If the Japanese come and touch my explosives, I'll let them have a good time," Hu Hao said happily.
" Alright, let's go, Dumbo. Come with me to get those things," the political commissar said and walked out.
" Xiao Li, take a squad and follow Dumbo out to bury the mines. Be careful, don't let Dumbo do anything," Commander Zhang said to Xiao Li, the guard beside him.
