The coriander wolf scratched his head and said, "Anyway, according to me, that action is a real military evacuation operation, not like a smokescreen." But now that a few hours have passed, I don't know what happened. Or, Shizuo, you borrow me a jujube red horse and ride to the east gate again? Li Moqian nodded and said, "Okay, this move is too unusual, we must find out what happened." The coriander agreed, and was about to go out when he collided with the confidential man who hurriedly pushed the door in. Li Moqian said unhappily: "What's so panicked." The confidential officer hurriedly stood still and reported: "Just now, the sentry at the East Gate came to report that the East Gate granary caught fire and killed four soldiers guarding the flag. ”

Li Moqian said angrily: "Nonsense! If you are so careless, what if you are attacked into the city by the Japanese outside the city? The confidential key stammered, "This is the second thing I am anxious to tell Shizao." The sentry also said that now all the enemy troops outside the East Gate have been evacuated, and the sentry has been patrolling for more than 30 miles, but he has not seen a single ghost soldier. ”

Li Moqian muttered: "Isn't Kojiro using Sun Tzu's Art of War to besiege the city? Staff Officer Zang shook his head and said: "It was used at the beginning and middle of the war, for fear that the defenders would stubbornly resist and suffer too many casualties." Now that we are fighting to the end of the war, when the devils can eat us up in one bite, what gap will we put in? Li Moqian smiled bitterly: "Of course I know, so I don't understand what Kojiro thinks." You are a staff officer, what do you think? ”

Staff Officer Zang smiled: "The division can't figure it out, how can I figure it out?" Li Moqian snorted and said, "What kind of tai chi are you doing at this time?" You just like to hide it like this, and you won't say anything until you die! Li Moqian turned around and said to the orderly: "Gather all the cadres above the company level who have time to rush back to the Daning Temple Tower for a meeting." The orderly scratched his head and said, "This ...... You don't have to call it out. They, they're all waiting for news under the tower. ”

Li Mo Qianqi said: "All under the tower? Waiting for news? What news are you waiting for? The orderly said in a low voice: "As soon as the news that Staff Officer Zang was going to arrest the treachers of the Daning Temple Tower spread, they, they all ran back to the tower to see the excitement, but I was afraid that you would not dare to come up." I guess they're all asking the monks who just came downstairs right now. ”

Li Moqian couldn't bear to scold: "It's even more gossip than a woman!" When you detectives can also spread this gossip as quickly as possible! Where is military discipline? Don't you have your own posts to guard on the towers of the city? The coriander wolf smiled and said, "What are you guarding?" It's all here, who doesn't know that the devil will definitely lose it if he rushes to the city gate again. Before I came to the Daning Temple Tower, I instructed the brothers below, as long as the devils charge again, don't die in vain if the situation is not right, and retreat in to fight in the streets, and kill a few more devils. Ximen Lao Wang Lao Zhang They are all as good as monkeys, and they don't understand better than me? said it was to see the excitement, but in fact, it was to retreat first to see the direction of the wind. ”

Li Moqian had a heart attack, and when he thought that he had ordered this before returning to the Daning Temple Tower, he shook his head helplessly, and ordered the orderly: "Go, go downstairs and call them all up for me." The orderly promised to go out, but he didn't go downstairs, and stood at the entrance of the corridor with a voice: "The division told you all to come up for a meeting!" Sure enough, within a minute, a total of more than a dozen generals from the original and newly returned members of the Daning Temple Tower almost filled the combat command room. Staff Officer Zang said with a smile: "The division is well commanded, and the efficiency is really high. Li Moqian only smiled bitterly.

But even if you smile bitterly, you can't laugh anymore. Li Moqian looked at the more than ten generals at the battle table, and the generals were also looking at him with tired eyes. When the war dragged on at this time, all the words of courage were fake, and some were just tired, a kind of boredom with the torment of having today and no tomorrow.

These are all siblings who accompany themselves from birth to death! As soldiers, they have fully accompanied themselves to fulfill their responsibilities, and then hold on to this ancient city in ruins until the whole army is destroyed, why is it necessary? Li Moqian didn't care about his life and death, but he couldn't ignore the value of his brothers' lives.

The East Gate Wokou suddenly retreated, the opportunity could not be lost, the time would not come, Li Moqian opened his mouth, but did not speak, just knocked lightly on the table, tired and felt confused, like the first mist outside the window invaded the room and then invaded the eyes and brain, and it was so drowsy that people didn't know what to do. Everyone didn't know what to say when they saw that Li Moqian didn't speak, so they sat in silence for so long, so that the wolf scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, and looked at Staff Officer Zang begging several times. After several times, Staff Officer Zang coughed and finally stood up.

A subtle buzz immediately sounded in the operations command room. All of them here are hot-blooded soldiers, and they won't feel a big scar when they accompany Li Moqian to the soup and the fire. But at this moment of desperate situation, Staff Officer Zang, who had just come to the army, brought everyone a different sense of comfort. Everyone hopes that this kind of magic can save the battle and take the 23rd Division to escape from death, otherwise how could so many people run to the Daning Temple Tower at the same time regardless of their posts to see Staff Officer Zang show his might? It's about seeking comfort in despair. Sure enough, Staff Officer Zang lived up to expectations, and said with a smile when he opened his mouth: "Please come, I want to tell you a good news, just now Lao Qian got the exact military situation, and the Dongmen Japanese Kou made a large-scale military retreat, clearing a safe way for us to retreat." ”

The pan exploded in the combat command room with a bang. No one can ignore the only way to survive in a desperate situation. The two generals Zhang Wang from the west gate shouted: "We have been fighting for so long, and the villagers of Mulin have already withdrawn, is it interesting enough?" The little devil made way for us, what are we polite to him? It's almost time to leave. ”

The coriander wolf also said: "Yes, Master, now all the buildings in Mulin City are about to be destroyed except for this Daning Temple Tower." Our twenty-third division touches our conscience, and we are worthy of the villagers of Mulin! If you don't take this opportunity to go, the 23rd Division will lose a fine egg and won't even be able to keep the number. ”

Suddenly, there was a pot of porridge in the combat command room, and Staff Officer Zang was about to speak, but Li Moqian interrupted him with a tired wave of his hand: "The bad guy, let me, the division commander, do it." Strategically and tactically, this is indeed the only chance for the 23rd Division to withdraw, but when it comes out of Woodin City, it is still crowded on all sides, and it ends up being captured alive, and with what I know about Kojiro, it is impossible for him to withdraw his troops for no reason, and there are some conspiracies buried deep in it."

General Wang sighed: "Then don't leave, everyone stay and wait for death." The generals shouted in unison: "Yes! Everyone stays and fights with the little devils! Li Moqian burst into tears, not knowing what to say. There was a sudden bang, which startled everyone, but it was Staff Officer Zang who smashed a teacup to the ground. Seeing that everyone was quiet, Staff Officer Zang smiled and said: "The 23rd Division really deserves to be called the Iron Army, with one heart and one mind, loyal as iron, although Zang is the first to come, he is also deeply proud of this feeling......

There was silence for a long time.

Staff Officer Zang suddenly spoke: "Master, have you ever thought that the old man Shou has been in the woods for many years and can leave at any time, why would he be willing to stay and be a deaf and dumb little monk who was bullied by Fu Yuan?" ”

Li Mo said in a horrified manner: "You mean the big secret mentioned in the last sentence of the old man." Staff Officer Zang nodded and said, "Exactly." Then I contacted the Japanese who suddenly gave way to us to leave the city at this time, obviously because we were afraid that we would resist to the end and damage the secret left in the city in the wooden forest street battle. ”

Li Moqian thought about it carefully: "Then it seems that this secret is really not trivial, so that Kojiro would rather lose my lottery head than keep it." It's a pity that the old man died too quickly, and we can't chase it to the king of Hades to ask. ”

……

As he spoke, the rumbling roar of an airplane suddenly sounded in the air, and he listened to the sound flying lower and lower, getting closer and closer, and then the "click" anti-aircraft machine gun sound sounded from the top of the tower. A moment later, the buzzing plane almost grazed the top of the Daning Temple Tower, followed by a loud bang not far away, and a fire could be seen burning from the window. The coriander wolf cheered: "It was the brother at the top of the tower who knocked out one of the devil's planes, what a good omen!" Staff Officer Zang frowned and said, "It's strange, the devil's plane has never flown so low." ”

Before the words fell, countless pieces of paper flew in from the tower window like snowflakes, and Staff Officer Zang caught one and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It seems that Kojiro is really in a hurry, open a retreat over there, distribute leaflets here, and don't hesitate to get on the plane, so he almost didn't pay us a severance fee." ”

Li Moqian also caught one, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a surrender flyer. On the front is written in Chinese five leaflets.

To all the officers and men of the 23rd Division:

1. The Imperial Army has completely surrounded the city, and tomorrow morning will take the wooden forest at all costs, and laying down your arms and surrendering is your only choice.

Second, the rescue road has been cut off by our imperial army, and we must not leave anything to chance.

The officers and men of the 3rd and 23rd Divisions should cherish their lives, stop fighting for the honor of division commander Li Moqian and others as soon as possible, and think more about the old and young at home.

Fourth, the imperial army is not hostile to the revolutionary army, and the imperial army loves you.

5. The defenders of the city shall cease their useless resistance quickly, and go out of the city with this leaflet, and the imperial army will guarantee your safety and a great reward.

The payment was none other than Kojiro, the supreme commander of the Japanese Army.

Li Moqian smiled coldly, picked up the pen and said one by one on the leaflet:

1. There are 100,000 soldiers and civilians in our country, and you can besiege the city, why should you besiege the country?

2. Slander the Iron Army, despicable and filthy, the so-called spirit of bushido, nothing more.

3. Loyalty comes from the nation, and prestige belongs to the state. The sacrifice of the Chinese soldiers is for the old and the young in the family, and there is no need to live.

Fourth, it is still difficult to deceive oneself, let alone deceive the sky?

The 5th and 23rd Divisions entered the city with men, and the corpses burned the city, and they fought to the death tomorrow morning.

Li Moqian, the commander of the 23rd Division of the Great Chinese Revolutionary Army, was about to take the leaflet out of the window after writing, but was snatched by Staff Officer Zang, and said with a smile: "I can't throw it away, this is a talisman sent to me by Kojiro, and it is also a guarantee that I can bring back Miss Xiuning to the division." Li Moqian was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" Staff Officer Zang carefully dried the pen and ink on the leaflet and folded it into his pocket: "The word "burning city" is well written, and it really hits the key point of Kojiro. ”
