Chapter 12
After re-arrangement, Ma Qian'an picked up the machine gun again, thought about it, and put it down. Then he asked Li Fengshan who was not far away from him: "Brother Fengshan, how many bullets do you have?"
Li Fengshan said proudly: "This gun is different from the bullets of other guns. No one is competing with you. I just counted it. There are more than 5oo left, so you can make it!"
More than 5oo? Is it still very good to make it? Ma Qian'an heard it all fresh and thought to himself, if you could live to my age, you would know how petty you said today. I used to fire 5oo bullets in one day.
The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces captured Tang Zhendong's advance team two days ago, and defeated Cheng Bing's advance team last night, seized a lot of ammunition and guns. Each of them had dozens of bullets on them. In order to better complete the blocking mission, Cao Yafan also left two boxes of bullets and more than a dozen grenades. Ma Qian'an checked it and knew that these ammunitions were enough to fight a medium-intensity blocking battle.
Now, everyone is waiting for the Japanese to attack for a second time.
"Captain, do you think you sent someone to climb up the mountain and stare at it? I'm afraid that the Japanese will climb up the mountain from the side and take our back path." A wounded man with only one eye left reminded.
After the just adaptation, Ma Qian'an named this team the Cavalry Guards. It has no other meaning, it sounds a little more majestic. Li Fengshan admired Ma Qian'an very much, praised Ma Qian'an for being educated. There were 38 people alive in the team, and they were organized into three squads. Of course, this was a temporary organization. Because the Anti-Japanese United Army had considered confusing the enemy, the organization was too large, empty, regiment commander, and division commander everywhere, and it always made people feel strange when calling. You can't say this when you deploy a battle, Third Division Commander, I order your entire division to attack, be sure to repel the enemy's platoon, right? One division beats one platoon, and those who don't know thought they were wrong. For Ma Qian'an, who is used to the modern military system, he reorganized it to conform to the military organization practice. The one who suggested speaking was a battalion commander, but in fact he had only ten soldiers under him.
The proposal of the Dumu Battalion Commander attracted Ma Qian'an's attention. He looked up at the mountains on both sides and estimated the height. He calculated that when the snow was blocking the mountain, climbing up such a mountain and then catching it behind him would take 50 minutes without an hour. If the enemy's attempt to climb a mountain in advance, he could leave him time to retreat and build a second position.
On the Japanese position, the Japanese Captain Watanabe was in trouble. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fled into the valley, but the terrain at the entrance of the valley was suitable for blocking, which cost him a huge price. His casualties diluted the joy brought to him by the main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. He looked at his three squadron leaders and the Captain of Naoki Qingtian, and asked with a hint of confidence: "You guys, this is our situation. It's not good. Now we are not close to the main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, but farther away. What can you do to break through this position?"
Naoki Qingtian had long seen this battle clearly. He sensitively realized that the sharpshooter was there yesterday. Judging from the wounds of his wounded and killed soldiers, many of them were caused by the powerful bullets of the Type 99 machine gun. It is impossible for the other party to have many such machine guns. If there is only one, it must be that person who is controlling it. It is a nightmare character. Direct impact will inevitably lead to greater casualties. It seems that only tricks are needed.
Naoki Qingtian made a brief topographic map on the snow, then pointed to a protrusion and said, "Captain, we can attack head-on, and then send a surprise soldier to climb this mountain, then go down from behind them, suddenly appear and lock their backs. It's OK. Although this would take some time to waste this, it's better than attack head-on. I suspect that the person who was surrounded by us yesterday was also there, and that person was very difficult to deal with."
Watanabe thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a better plan, so he agreed to Naoki Aoyama.
A group of Japanese soldiers slowly started a feint attack on the front and did not enter the attack range of the Anti-Japanese United Army for a long time. A few of the protruding Japanese soldiers were well hidden. They crawled in a low position on the snow. After finding the cover, they hid behind immediately. Occasionally, they stretched out their heads and fired two shots, and immediately shrank back.
Ma Qian'an looked at the procrastinating Japanese and felt something was wrong. He frequently looked at the mountains on both sides, looking for whether the warriors he sent to him had signaled. He guessed that the Japanese must be doing something.
Li Fengshan also felt abnormal and asked, "Brother Ma, what are the Japanese? Are you teasing us?"
"Brother Fengshan, do you think the Japanese are stupider than us?"
"You can tell more than them! Who is stupider than anyone these days?" Li Fengshan was not very satisfied with Ma Qian'an's teasing.
"Since they are not stupid, can they think of what we can think of, too?"
"See what you said, of course, oh... You mean, they wanted to take a chance, but this was too obvious. Look, the Japanese who were pretending to attack head-only, if they don't work hard, they are simply fools. They are smart? Damn it."
Both of them raised their heads and looked at the hill beside them in a daze. Except for a few soldiers who continued to monitor the Japanese in front of them, the rest also turned their heads and followed them.
At this time, there are two kinds of feelings about these Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. One is to treat death as if they were home, and the representative figures were the original wounded. The second is to think about when they could retreat. It means Li Fengshan's men. If they could retreat, they would not be able to fight to the death.
After half an hour of appearance, Li Fengshan finally saw the soldier who had climbed to the top of the mountain waving his hat to warn him.
It's time to leave, Ma Qian'an took a deep breath and ordered the gathering to retreat.
A head scratching matter was still waiting for him, and the wounded who voluntarily refused to retreat. Ma Qian'an's order was not recognized and implemented by them.
"Comrades, we have been holding on for more than two hours. Logically speaking, we can retreat after completing the blocking task." Ma Qian'an explained patiently.
"Captain Ma, do you think we can still walk?" A soldier smiled bitterly and patted his bloody thighs. "Even if we can move, I have to hold on for a while, so as to add some retreat time for the main force, right?"
The battalion commander said, "You go, remember, I can't fight the Japanese well, I will rely on you in the future."
Ma Qian'an was not giving up and begged: "We can retreat for a while and set up two lines of defense. Let's go with us."
Li Fengshan had already greeted Ma Qian'an in the distance.
The battalion commander glared, "Don't leave, if you don't leave, the feint attack of the Japanese in front will become real after a while. You can't leave even if you want to. Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
When Ma Qian'an faced these people who were ready to die and faced with soldiers whose will was stronger than steel, he felt so powerless. He thought about how ignorant he was to Cao Yafan and wanted to save the wounded. Now he wanted to persuade these people to evacuate with him. How naive it is. They are stronger than themselves, and they are the true backbone of the nation. They regard death as light and light because they have the simple belief in my heart.
Ma Qian was wandering and thinking.
Suddenly, he pointed to the young machine gunner, the girl, and said, "Okay! I respect your ideas. You don't leave, but she must leave."
"I won't leave, I'm going to die with him." The girl sat beside Xiao Cao, held his arm affectionately, and smiled gently at Xiao Cao.
Xiao Cao gently got rid of the girl's arm and said calmly to Ma Qian: "Captain Ma, I agree to take her away!"
The girl bulged her mouth, stubbornly carried her body, and covered her ears.
Ma Qian'an looked at Li Fengshan who was walking further and further away, then turned to the group of soldiers and said, "I have another way to save your lives. There is a certain danger. This girl cannot stay here. If the Japanese find out that she is a woman, something will easily happen."
The battalion commander said: "Captain Ma, we are not afraid of death, what else are we afraid of? Tell me."
"When the Japanese come up, don't resist, and don't pull the grenade in your arms. You must surrender voluntarily. In order to lure the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, they will basically not kill the surrendered Anti-Japanese Allied Forces." Ma Qian'an knew that this would definitely cause misunderstandings among these soldiers. He had seen the battalion commander slowly turning his gun.
"Don't get me wrong, listen to me." Ma Qian'an stopped the restlessness of the soldiers, stared at the battalion commander's black muzzle, and continued: "If we want to show and grow, we need all kinds of people to undertake different tasks. We not only need thousands of people holding guns, but also thousands of people fighting in the heart of the enemy. Do you understand?"
Seeing the soldiers lowered their guns slightly, Ma Qian felt relieved, "Why have we failed frequently in the past one or two years? It is because the enemy has mastered our whereabouts and destroyed our secret camp. In a specific sentence, the enemy has more information than us and has done better than us. You have all had the determination and actions to defend the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to the death and withstand the strictest test. I believe you, you have much more effect on fighting in the enemy living than here to fight to the death. Do you understand? If the Japanese do not kill you this time, when your injuries are healed, you will be incorporated into various advancing teams. If they do not accept surrender and kill you, the worst result is that you will kill fewer Japanese. If I kill more of this matter, I will make up for you. Do you understand?"
Seeing that everyone's expressions were loose, Ma Qian'an added, "You are killed in battle here. The significance and function of it is far less than the path I pointed out to you. This is a task, a task with great significance and profound meaning. Without will and beliefs, people who are not smart cannot complete it. Death is very simple. Just pull the grenade in your arms, but fighting alive is difficult. Do you dare to take this task?"
The soldiers gathered together and quickly discussed. Two minutes later, they agreed.
The battalion commander asked, "If it really happens, how can we contact you in the future?"
"Write your names, I will report the situation to Commander Chang. We will send someone to contact you. You are not allowed to act against the enemy until our people come to you. Hidden or lurk!"
"What should we pay attention to?" asked a warrior with bright eyes.
Ma Qian'an took a deep breath and said, "Only one word, pretend."
Disguise, pretend to be afraid of death, pretend to be traitor, you can do whatever you want.
"Just like you? If you hadn't saved the commander and killed so many Japanese devils, I wouldn't have believed you."
Huh? Why did it come to me? Ma Qian'an was puzzled and looked at the battalion commander who said this with inquiring eyes.
The battalion commander smiled and said, "There are so many mysteries in you. Sometimes I, sometimes I am, sometimes I am like a farmer, and sometimes I am like a gentleman."
"Who said that farmers cannot be gentlemen? I said I am my freedom, which means I will not forget my roots." Ma Qian'an tried hard to defend himself while putting away the list. He was really surprised. There are so many smart people.
