Chapter 122 4. Camp under the nose of the enemy

The sun was setting, and there was a mist floating on the river beach.The night fell quietly.Soldiers guarding the hills around Liutian could see the enemy's bonfires.People shouted and neighed, one after another.It seems that the enemy is quite complacent, thinking that the "iron wall encirclement" has been accomplished, and it is only waiting for dawn to launch a general offensive.How do you know that in the end, what awaits them is nothing but nothing. At this time, the headquarters and other agency personnel had assembled on the river beach east of Liutian, and the 1st company of the vanguard was about to set off.Luo Ronghuan strode over and asked, "Which squad in your company serves as the vanguard squad?"

"It's still Class 1." Company Commander Song and Instructor Wang replied. "Which one is the monitor?" Luo Ronghuan walked up to Class 1. "Reporting chief, I am Hui Jinghe, monitor of Class 1!" The monitor of Class 1 came out to report. "Your class has a lot of tasks as a vanguard and has experience." When the soldiers heard the praise from the political commissar, they were all very happy. "However, tonight's task is particularly arduous. Whether so many government officials can escape the encirclement safely depends on you."

As soon as Luo Ronghuan's words fell, Company Commander Song immediately replied: "The 1st Company resolutely completes the task!" Then, Luo Ronghuan checked the preparations again.When he knew that the soldier Xiao Jia had a fever, he asked the guard Xiao Guo to fetch his Japanese military water bottle and hand it back to the squad leader, saying: "There are sick people in your class, fill it with water, it will be easy to use on the road." Luo Ronghuan's kettle is Japanese military supplies seized by the troops from the battlefield.Afterwards, Hui Jinghe experienced many light loads during the war years, but this kettle has been kept.Although the paint has peeled off and the body of the pot is bumpy, he still regards it as if it were a wall.

Luo Ronghuan set off with the vanguard company with several cadres from the Operations Section and the Reconnaissance Section.At the beginning, he didn't ride a horse, but walked peacefully, saying hello to the commanders and fighters in the team from time to time.He didn't seem to be taking thousands of people to break out, it seemed to be going to a meeting, or even going for a walk.Everyone looked at his unhurried demeanor, and the nervous mood immediately calmed down. Zhou Yun, deputy chief of the reconnaissance section, led the scouts to the front.From time to time, he sent people back to report the enemy situation ahead to Luo Ronghuan.Walking to Zhangzhuang, where the Political Department is located, a team from the Political Department waiting on the side of the road also joined in.The enemy's blockade has arrived.The distance between the two waves of enemies was only one and a half kilometers.Luo Ronghuan ordered to send an order to the back: "Chengsan column moves forward quickly."

The team was like a swimming dragon in the enemy's gap, moving and dodging, weaving and weaving, crossing 3 main roads in a row, hearing the noise of the enemy's chariots and horses several times, but they all quietly avoided. When we arrived at Gaoli, we were already in the enemy's rear, and the defense here was really empty.Luo Ronghuan ordered the troops to turn west as soon as possible and go to the Hushan Villa to camp.It is close to the road from Linyi to Mengyin, only 25 kilometers away from Linyi city. When we arrived at Hushanzhuang, it was already dawn.You can see without binoculars at the edge of the village that the enemy's follow-up troops and logistics teams are heading north one after another.Right under the enemy's nose, Luo Ronghuan ordered to send out guards and camp on the spot.

When everyone was lying on the grass in their clothes, there was the sound of rumbling guns in the distance. For the commanders and fighters who had been tired all day, this was undoubtedly a wonderful lullaby. In this breakout, the Eighth Route Army safely jumped out of the enemy's heavy encirclement without firing a single shot or losing a single soldier.
