At six o'clock, night fell.
Zhang Dabiao, Monk Wei, Wang Gensheng, and a dozen class monitors were sitting together for a meeting. Li Yong didn't come. He was sent out by Zhang Dabiao.
" Still not good. The five soldiers with high fever have their fever reduced a little, but they are still weak. They can't exert any strength in their hands and feet, so they can only be carried by the soldiers. The other dozen or so who are physically weak are better. They can walk on their own, but don't even think about marching. If they can't walk more than a mile, they will definitely fall behind.”
Wang Gensheng first reported the news of the assault company's patients. The atmosphere in the meeting became heavy.
There were five heavy troops, and more than ten of them were exhausted. The Assault Company only had a total of 150 people. This meant that they had lost one-tenth of their strength. Moreover, they would need to allocate some people to take care of these soldiers.
This was troublesome!
Everyone, especially the squad leaders of the independent regiment, felt their hearts tremble.
"I can carry one, all the way to Yang Village. However, I can only carry one.”
The monk couldn't help with his own intellectual matters, so he took the initiative to speak, expressing his willingness to work hard.
His words instantly shattered the heavy atmosphere. Everyone glanced at the lively Monk Wei, and the corners of their mouths twitched a few times. No one responded to his words.
He did not know how this guy trained, but his body was definitely stronger than a bull. He had been following the assault for so long, jumping up and down, and his stamina was much more exhausted than other soldiers, but he did not look tired at all.
Now, in the entire assault company, only two people did not look tired at all.
Monk Wei and that quiet Dopey Ge.
If only the Assault Company was as strong as this guy, everyone muttered in their hearts.
"The patient is not a problem."
"After the consumption of the previous two battles, we have used up a lot of bullets, and our rations are much lighter than before. Although we brought three tons of medicine, a dozen mules and camels should be able to handle it. At most, other soldiers with good physical strength can carry some things.”
Zhang Dabiao spoke. His tone was neither hurried nor slow, and one could not tell that he was nervous.
"Now that the mountain torrents have broken out, our planned route has been cut off by the mountain torrents. This is the most troublesome thing.”
"It has been two hours now, but the flash flood hasn't weakened. Instead, the water is getting stronger. Looking at the weather, it's full of stars. Tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day.”
"Does anyone have any thoughts?"
Everyone fell silent again.
Although the patient's problem had happened very suddenly and they were caught off guard, they had prepared for it before they set off, so it was not impossible to solve it. However, there was almost no solution to the problem of the mountain torrent cutting off the road.
There was no base base of the masses here, and there was no village in front of or behind. They did not dare to contact the nearby villagers too much, afraid that the puppet army and the two devils would inform them.
"Can we find a place to cross the river? There should be shallow waters." A class monitor asked.
"Impossible. I disguised myself and asked the villagers nearby.”
Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said calmly," The mountain torrents in this valley are very wide and rapid. The water flow is very large. It's almost impossible to find a place to walk. We don't have the tools to build the bridge.”
"Can we go around it?" Another class monitor asked.
"It's very dangerous."
Zhang Dabiao replied," The Flood Valley is hundreds of miles long, and there are several intersecting branches. No matter if we go south or north, we will have to pass through several flat lands. We will definitely be discovered by the devils.”
"Then what should we do?"
"Didn't Guild Leader say that he would send troops to help?”
The ten or so class monitors who were participating in the meeting were all anxious like ants on a hot pan.
No, he didn't have the aura of Xin Yi at all. He didn't seem to be afraid of death when he was in a desperate situation. Looking at the anxious class monitors, Zhang Dabiao frowned and felt a little dissatisfied.
From the new regiment to the independent regiment, he felt that the biggest difference between the two regiments was not in military training, but in their mental outlook.
The gap between the two groups was really quite big.
If it was the new regiment, or the officers that the regiment commander had brought out, they would definitely be clamoring to find a place to fight the Japanese and break out of their encirclement.
It seemed that he still needed to temper himself.
"Quiet, what are you panicking for?"
Controlling the situation strictly, Zhang Dabiao looked at everyone with a sinister gaze.
"We are now in the north of Shou County. This place is at least two hundred miles away from the independent regiment's Yang Village. Even the nearest Eighth Route Army station is more than a hundred miles away.”
"Moreover, there are no other guerrilla groups or small bases nearby.”
Zhang Dabiao looked around and said in a fierce tone,
"Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves here.”
"Besides, even if we are surrounded by the Japanese, so what? Our mission has been completed. At most, we will fight with the Japanese. We don't lack anything. Even if we die, we will definitely not lose anything.”
After these words, the ten class monitors all quieted down. The panic disappeared, and their faces became fierce. More than ten pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Dabiao, their gazes filled with desperation.
"Hahaha."
Zhang Dabiao smiled in satisfaction. He changed to a calm tone and continued," Originally, my plan was to rely on the big mules and horses to break through the Japanese encirclement with light equipment and speed to Yangquan. Then, I would meet up with the regiment commander's reinforcements as soon as possible and break through the Japanese encirclement.”
"In this situation, the original plan has to be changed. I have three ideas, let's discuss them."
........
"Big Biao, how did you think of this?”
Under the starlight, Li Yong walked up to the Assault Company's hidden forest, panting heavily. He first gulped down a mouthful of water and gave Zhang Dabiao a thumbs up. His tone was a little excited.
"I went to ask the people in the nearby villages. At first, they all said that it was impossible. There was no trace of the flash floods. The path of each flood was different, and the water was fierce.”
"But I listened to you and asked a few more people. Later, I asked an old man in the village. The old man said that there really was such a waterway, or a mountain torrent waterway.”
"However…"
At this point, Li Yong sighed.
"This mountain road is very dangerous. It requires a sturdy wooden boat to pass through. Only the most experienced boatman can operate the boat. Very few people know about it. However, the wooden boats have been detained or destroyed by the Japanese. The villagers can only use wooden rafts or bamboo rafts."
"Besides, even if we get a boat, it won't work. The experienced boatmen of the nearby villages are all in the north of Tuozi Mountain. There's a village there, and no one in the village can pilot the boat."
