As the war progressed, the rout of the US army was irreparable, but the losses of the US troops in the melee were even more serious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhao Jianying, who had just come up to the front, looked at the binoculars for a while, and the guards on the side spoke: "Division commander, what now?" ā€

"What to do? The U.S. army has been defeated, this kid can't die this time, I can't mix it up with some commendations or something, we'll wait here to watch the show, you go and prepare the flare guns, disperse, I'll shoot flares to make them retreat when I'm almost done! ā€

"Yes!"

In the fierce battle, there are now three battalions of the US army annihilated by the formation, and there is no clear statistics for the rest of the scattered ones for the time being, but the corpses on the ground are the best illustration!

Half an hour later, as the US troops retreated on the second front, Zhao Jianying spoke: "Hit the signal flare and ask them all to withdraw!" ā€

"Yes!"

After a squad of soldiers scattered and fired a signal flare into the sky, the various units stopped the pursuit one after another and began to retreat, and now the sky is almost dawning, if they do not retreat, they will be cut off from the return route by the fierce air raid of the US army at any time, and the US army will regroup and kill back!

After seeing the signal flare, Lu Hai also immediately spoke: "Order to go down, all the troops with signal flares will play signal flares and retreat in an all-round way!" ā€

"Yes!"

"Move quickly, bring all the loot you can bring!"

"Yes!"

Many soldiers put rifles and submachine guns on their shoulders one by one and began to retreat!

The same signal flares were transmitted in turn, and the communication of the whole army was quickly restored, and the 50th Army was all withdrawn at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the war returned to its original positions, and the only thing left was the corpses scattered all over the mountains!

As soon as Lu Hai returned to the command headquarters and just put down his gun, several soldiers came in and put down Lu Hai's gun without saying a word, and then he was about to be escorted away, but this move also stabbed the hornet's nest in an instant, and Zhao Weiguo, who had just returned to the headquarters to report the battle situation, suddenly saw it, and immediately stopped these soldiers and said, "What are you doing?" ā€

"Mr. Peng ordered, take Lu Hai to Zhisi! Mr. Peng wants to interrogate him! A leading officer said.

Zhao Weiguo picked up his gun violently and said, "We won the battle, what are we doing with him?" ā€

Seeing this, the officer's face changed suddenly: "This is the order of the Zhiji, are you going to disobey the order?" ā€

"Get out of here!" Lu Hai glared at Zhao Weiguo and said, but Zhao Weiguo opened his mouth when he saw this: "What is the reason for winning the battle and being arrested?" ā€

"Zhao Weiguo, get out of the way, he's fine!" But it was Zhao Jianying who came over, and when the officer saw Zhao Jianying, he also raised his hand to salute, and Zhao Jianying said to Lu Hai: "Don't worry, I will help you get things done here"!

Lu Hai nodded, and then followed, Zhao Weiguo watched Lu Hai being taken away and said, "This doesn't make sense!" ā€

"What doesn't make sense? You quickly report the situation of the war last night, this is the best way to save Lu Hai! Zhao Jianying said.

"Yes!"

was escorted to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, and Peng Dehuai did not lock him up, and directly summoned them into the headquarters! At this time, it was already around twelve o'clock at noon, and Mr. Peng was having breakfast, as the commander of the three armies, Mr. Peng's breakfast was just a few potatoes!

These potatoes are put in a basin, Lu Hai is standing obediently on the side at this time, Mr. Peng does not say a word and Deng Hua peels potatoes on the side to eat, for Mr. Peng, Lu Hai has not dealt with anything, but Mr. Peng's ability Lu Hai knows, and he is also full of admiration, and the people who blow up to the sky do not dare to bring troops to fight, but he dares to come and can use inferior equipment to fight the current situation, it can be said that it is a rare military talent in a century, Lu Hai only feels that he is just a firefly in front of Mr. Peng, And Mr. Peng is a sun-like existence!

So standing here, Lu Hai stood obediently, watching Mr. Peng eat potatoes, but at this time, Mr. Peng took a bite of the potatoes and then said, "Are you hungry?" ā€

"Report! Be! Lu Hai shouted.

"Sit down and eat together!" Mr. Peng said.

Lu Hai thought he had heard it wrong, he was arrested, and what kind of play was he singing?

"What's wrong?" Mr. Peng asked hesitantly when he saw Lu Hai.

"Report, nothing!" Saying that, Lu Hai also sat down on the side, directly picked up a potato and peeled it, and then Mr. Peng spoke: "Tell me, what do you think?" ā€

Seeing Mr. Peng ask, Lu Hai did not answer, but ate a bite of potatoes first, and then spoke: "Surprise attack unprepared, the US army bombed the military headquarters of our 50th Army and launched a fierce attack at the same time, the intention is obvious!" But the deputy commander has a very high reputation in our 50th Army, the soldiers are very fond of him, everyone is very angry when they heard that he had an accident, this soldier just took advantage of the anger of the soldiers to launch a counterattack, it happened to be at night again, we are also familiar with the local terrain, the morale of the soldiers is available, this is why I want to launch a counteroffensive! ā€

"Have you ever wondered what you'd do if you lost?" Deng Hua said.

"I thought about it, but I don't think we're going to lose!"

"Why?" Mr. Peng asked.

"I have fought many brothers with them for more than ten years, and I know what they are like, and I absolutely believe in them!" Lu Hai said.

"It's comrade!" Deng Hua said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't change it!" Lu Hai said.

Mr. Peng didn't care about these at all, but said: "I heard that you used to be a teacher!" Participated in many battles! ā€

"Yes!"

Peng Dehuai didn't speak immediately, peeled a potato again and ate it, at this time, a soldier shouted a report outside and walked in, and Mr. Peng immediately said: "Come in!" ā€

After the order was issued, the messenger walked in and handed over a telegram, Mr. Peng took the telegram and looked at it, and then said, "Look at it! ā€

Lu Hai took a look, but saw that this telegram was a battle report from last night, after a night of fierce fighting, 2,100 US troops were annihilated, 35 cars were blown up, 5 tanks were destroyed, more than 1,000 US weapons were captured, two mountain artillery, 6 Bazooka rocket launchers, and tens of thousands of bullets!

Lu Hai put down the telegram and immediately said, "If I have three hours, I can still eat him with 2,000 people!" ā€

"Your battle is so chaotic, aren't you afraid to go deep alone?" Deng Hua asked.

"Afraid! Don't be afraid! ā€

"Tell me about it!"

"Afraid of things because when the day comes, the US military will find out the specific number and firepower of the attacking troops, and we are not afraid of things because we are never afraid of fighting at close range, biting their tactics of cutting butter with a knife, encircling and eating them little by little, and when the US troops come to the rescue, continue to encircle and divide and continue to eat!" Lu Hai said.

Mr. Peng smiled and said, "So what do you think about the battle in the future?" How much longer do you think you can hold out? ā€

"It won't last long, the Han River is about to thaw, our front must be withdrawn to rely on the north bank of the Han River to defend, if we withdraw the defense, we can hold out longer!" Lu Hai said.

Mr. Peng smiled but didn't say anything, Lu Hai saw this and took another potato and ate it, and Mr. Peng said: "Don't worry, you won the battle, these potatoes are yours!" ā€

Lu Hai was convinced that there was nothing to do, and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Peng!" ā€

Saying that, he picked up the potatoes and ate them, Mr. Peng immediately walked out, but Deng Hua was pulling Lu Hai to talk cordially, Lu Hai also found that these senior leaders actually had no shelf, it was so simple and so sincere, Lu Hai was also very moved in his heart, and after a while, Mr. Peng came over with a document and said: "Look at this, what do you think!" ā€

Lu Hai took a look, but saw that it was written that he was appointed as the deputy commander of the 50th Army!

Lu Hai hurriedly got up and said, "Boss, I'm afraid I'm not competent!" ā€

"I've written it down for you, and if you mess it up for me next time, I'll settle the old and new accounts together!" Mr. Peng said.

Only then did Lu Hai get up and say, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ā€

"Alright, alright!" The frontier needs a commander, so go back when you're done eating! Mr. Peng said.

Lu Hai looked at how many potatoes were still in the basin, and said with a dry smile: "The boss just said that these potatoes are mine?" ā€

"Yes!" Mr. Peng said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome!" Saying that, Lu Hai put a few potatoes in his pocket, then got up and saluted and ran out. Deng Hua looked at Lu Hai, who was already far away, and then said: "Old man, can you not reward me with my rations next time, I have no food to eat!" ā€

Mr. Peng laughed and said, "Do you think it's worth it!" ā€

"It's worth it! This kid is good! is a talent, and you find that it is also very appealing to smash the 50th Army without him, although this kid is adventurous, but war is originally a game played by the brave, Comrade Cai Zhengguo sacrificed, and now it can only be like this! Deng Hua said.

"Has the news of Comrade Cai Zhengguo's sacrifice been reported?"

"The report has been released, and Comrade Cai Zhengguo's body has been arranged and is ready to be transported back to China for burial!" Deng Hua said.

Mr. Peng nodded and didn't speak, Beijing, Chairman Mao was still taking a nap, Chairman Mao often worked at night and slept during the day, when the guard handed over the telegram, Chairman Mao was silent at a glance, and the guard didn't dare to speak when he saw this, but after a while, he saw Chairman Mao muttering: "Cai Zhengguo, Cai Zhengguo, unfortunately martyred, and I lost a strong general!" ā€

The war will continue, and the situation will continue to deteriorate in the future, but our determination is still firm, and we firmly believe that victory belongs to the people and belongs to us!
