The old Liu family formed a moving convoy with nine carts, and before they went out, the head of the Liu family, that is, the Liu Tuhao, came to find Ren Laifeng.

"Commander Ren, can you send a few people to escort us along the road and escort our family to Luoyang? There was a lot of chaos along the way, and I was worried that something would happen along the way. Rest assured, I will not let the brothers work in vain, and everyone will have a hard fee when they get to the place. This is a copy for you, don't shirk. It was as if I donated a box of tea to the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War. ”

I knew it wasn't that simple! Ren Laifeng knew that the escort job was not easy to do, and he couldn't refuse. You've eaten people's houses, you've drunk people's houses, and you've lived in other people's houses. People open their mouths to help but you don't agree, is there such a thing? At least Ren Laifeng can't do such a thing.

Looking at the surrounding generals, Ren Laifeng raised his hand and called the big man over, "Liu Wenqiang, you will escort Mr. Liu to Luoyang on behalf of our Flying Tiger Battalion." You go with your platoon. ”

Ren Laifeng knew that he was the platoon commander under Feng Wenying, and he knew that these people were still bandits half a year ago. Letting bandits escort the rich man over a long distance sounds a bit mysterious, but this can be regarded as an alternative test for Liu Wenqiang.

Liu Wenqiang glanced at Feng Wenying, and Platoon Commander Feng glared, "Do what the commander says!" You don't want to go? ”

"I want to go! I've wanted to go to Luoyang for a long time. Hey. Liu Wenqiang hurriedly smiled.

Feng Wenying nodded slightly with satisfaction, and Liu Wenqiang hurriedly saluted in flattery.

Liu Wenqiang is the platoon commander and Liu Wenju is the deputy platoon commander, and this Wen Yiwu protected the rich man Liu and his family to Luoyang. Ren Laifeng began to toss in the Liu family's compound. Since the rich man Liu said that he could turn his house into a battlefield, of course Ren Laifeng had to arrange this battlefield well. At the very least, a defensive position in Liulin based on the compound should also be created!

Digging trenches and repairing artillery towers are standard for defensive positions. Of course, trenches can be dug, and now it's a bit too late to repair the turret, so Ren Laifeng will use several houses with relatively high floors in the Liu Mansion as turrets. Send people back to the Xishilipu barracks to bring heavy machine guns and mortars, and put them on the top floors of these three- and four-story buildings.

After the soldiers had eaten enough, they began to dig trenches and build bunkers, and who would they send back to the barracks in the western suburbs to get heavy weapons? When Ren Laifeng was considering the candidate, there was chaos outside the town, and an army came! Ren Laifeng wanted to find a stunned person and asked who the person was, but the person had already arrived outside the courtyard. Immediately after the courtyard door opened, a group of people entered the compound directly.

"Commander!" The two voices shouted at the same time, and Ren Laifeng was overjoyed when he saw the comer. Walking in front of the two people, the one on the left is his guard platoon commander Huang Tian, the one on the right is the commander of the new first company, Zhou Lin, and two steps behind Zhou Lin is the deputy company commander Chen Zhongyi.

"Huang Tian, Zhou Lin!" Ren Laifeng trotted up to meet him, and grabbed the hands of the two generals one by one, and his eyes were a little red. "You're back! How about the troops? Is the loss big? ”

"Commander!" The voices of these two young fighters were also full of excitement. Huang Tian has nothing to say, he is Ren Laifeng's guard platoon leader, and he is here to help. Zhou Lin is the commander of the troops, of course, he introduced the battle losses of the troops to Commander Ren, "It was my incompetence and my ineffective command that caused the loss of the new company to reach 20 percent!" Commander, remove me from my post. Commander? ”

Zhou Lin was repenting bitterly, but before he finished speaking, he found that Commander Ren's expression was not quite right, and he quickly shook Commander Ren's two arms vigorously. Zhou Lin was in a hurry to make his strength a little bigger, and Ren Laifeng not only shook his arms, but also his head up and down a few times.

"Hey, hey, Zhou Lin, do you want to shake me to death?" Ren Laifeng pulled his hand out.

When Huang Tian also came over to help, Zhou Lin realized that things didn't seem to be the same as he thought, so he quickly let go of his hand and stood next to him with a smile, his face full of embarrassment.

"Okay, Zhou Lin. You lost 20 percent of the battle, and the independent brigade and the new 2nd company I followed came back with 40 percent of the men! Speaking of the number of war losses, Ren Laifeng's eyes suddenly burst into tears. These are all living human lives!

"My second company has lost 25 percent, and your new second company has lost fewer people than my second company!" You don't need to look at people, just listen to this meaning to know that this is the second company commander Fu Erchong. Seeing that the second company strode over and punched Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin hurriedly said good things with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the generals under his command were gathering more and more, Ren Laifeng raised his hand to interrupt everyone's greetings, "Okay everyone, the devil is coming soon, we must hurry up and build this place into a strong battle fortress, so that the devil can hit his head and break the blood flow in the willow forest!" Boost the morale of the people of Zhengzhou! ”

"Good!" The crowd will cheer in response.

Ren Laifeng pulled Huang Tian aside, "Huang Tian, I'll give you a task." You should rush back to the Xishilipu barracks now, and move all the heavy machine guns, mortars, and machine gun bullets and shells in our warehouse. Huang Tian nodded again and again.

When Ren Laifeng was about to explain a few more precautions, the guard ran over and reported: "Report to the commander, there is a herald from the group army headquarters outside to convey the order of the headquarters!" ”

Herald of the army? They came so fast! "Please!" Ren Laifeng wanted to see what order Sun Tongxuan would give him.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun ordered: The troops of the Third Army immediately withdrew from the city of Zhengzhou. The Flying Tiger Battalion withdrew to the southwest south of the Eighteen-Mile River to organize defenses! ”

What the? Is this going to be withdrawn? Ren Laifeng stretched out his hand to stop the headquarters herald who was about to leave, "Hey, you didn't pass the wrong order, right?" Mr. Sun ordered to withdraw from Zhengzhou City? Why? Why retreat? ”

The herald smiled bitterly, "Commander Ren, where do I dare to pass military orders indiscriminately?" The order to retreat was really given by Commander-in-Chief Sun himself, and there was nothing wrong with it. The Japanese offensive was too fierce, and the 20th and 22nd Divisions had already withdrawn. In less than two hours, the vanguard of the Japanese will be able to arrive here, and if you don't leave, your Flying Tiger Battalion will be in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army! The military order is like a mountain, please let the commander obey the order and leave! ”

The herald is gone, and Ren Laifeng is stupid. He just said that he was going to build a military fortress to bring the devil here, and the military order to retreat came down in the blink of an eye! That's how unpredictable things are!

Even if Ren Laifeng turns this place into a blocking position, it can only be done with the support of other troops, if a single Flying Tiger battalion wants to resist the devils, a wing or even a brigade, isn't it a joke? People can't stop two divisions, what can he do with only one battalion?

"Retreat!" When Ren Laifeng said these two words, it meant that his Liulin defense plan was completely bankrupt.
