Chapter 646: The Hero's Funeral
What did the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army see?
Why be confused?
In fact, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will be confused because they don't see anything, if they see the enemy lined up waiting for battle, they will not be confused, because in the expected, but who knows that there is an unexpected, there is no little devil in the ancient Han Village, and they all retreat cleanly, leaving only some weapons and equipment not to take away.
Because I was in a hurry to leave, I couldn't care about so many weapons.
"Report, Comrade Regiment Commander, all the enemies in Guhan Village are gone, and they all withdraw in an instant, and I request that the pursuit order be issued, and I will go to pursue the enemy immediately." A battalion commander stood up, and at this time his beast blood was boiling, and he naturally wanted to pursue the enemy and kill enough, because the previous battle was not enjoyable enough.
Now you need to fight to be smooth.
"Don't chase after the poor." Zhou Weiguo responded directly, in fact, he knew that the little devil would definitely give up defending Guhan Village, and if the little devil wanted to fight with them, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so he really caused a heavy blow to the little devil.
The little devils already know their intentions, so naturally they will not fight hard, and retreating is the best way to reduce casualties.
But the little devil is also losing a lot now.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to give up the defense.
"Why? Comrade Regiment Commander, we are now at a time when morale is high, and the enemy is demoralizing, and if we pursue the enemy, we will surely win. The battalion commander asked with some puzzlement.
"It is precisely because we have high morale now, but we can't pursue, once we pursue, the high morale will make us fall into the trap of the enemy, and then the little devils will definitely choose to attract us to tactics and attract us to their sphere of influence, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely launch an encirclement attack on us, so we can't pursue, staying here is what we need to do, obey orders." Zhou Weiguo directly ordered the battalion commander.
"Yes." The battalion commander naturally understood the captain's explanation, and now he only needs to guard the Guhan Village well.
......
Whew...
The cars on the road are moving fast.
The soldiers in the back were also constantly running.
Half an hour later.
Zhou Weihua led the convoy and Deng Guangrong's battalion to rush out of Haichi Town.
"That's great, it's out of the range of Haichi Town."
"yes, if we can't get out, then we're scared."
"That's right, the enemy will definitely strike us surgically at that time, and it will be even more difficult for us to break out at that time."
"You're absolutely right, but we're also suffering heavy casualties right now."
Speaking of this, all the members of the special combat team were silent, and they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts.
Although they won this battle and annihilated a battalion of little devils and a squadron of little devils, more than half of their special combat team members were lost, and Deng Guangrong's battalion also suffered more than half of the casualties.
Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself.
That's right.
"Lao Li, please rest assured, sooner or later, we will definitely take the head of the little devil commander in Laiyang County to pay tribute in front of your hero's grave, we will definitely be!"
"That's right, the flames of our special combat team will never be extinguished."
"Yes, it will never be extinguished, and your spirit will definitely be inherited."
"Trust us."
All the members of the special combat team mourned in silence for their fallen comrades and brothers in the car, and everyone was very sad and hoped to fight the enemy, but everyone knew that everyone had a mission on their backs.
Revenge, sooner or later, it will be avenged, but not now.
Hum!
Commander of the little devil in Laiyang County, wash your head and wait for our special combat team to pick it up!
......
Tiger Head Mountain.
It was raining heavily.
Originally, Zhou Weihua and the others returned, and the independent regiment should be happy.
Can...... What now?
None of the soldiers showed a smile on their faces, and all of them were solemn.
Now all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment are gathered in front of the Heroes Monument in the square in the heavy rain, and today they have to engrave the names of their fallen comrades, they are heroes, martyrs, and the spirit of revolution will always exist in everyone.
The mission continues, and the anti-Japanese resistance is still ongoing.
"Today is a sad day for our independent regiment, because we have sacrificed 22 members of the special combat team, more than 500 soldiers, and it is our sorrow for such a large number of casualties."
"Of course, with such heavy casualties, as a military commander, I made an obvious mistake, I took them out, but I couldn't bring them back, and my heart was like a knife."
"Today, we are going to observe three minutes of silence in memory of the fallen soldiers."
Zhou Weiguo, as the military commander of Hutou Mountain, took the initiative to take the responsibility on his shoulders.
In the event of heavy casualties, as a military commander, there is naturally an inevitable responsibility.
But everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with the regiment commander, it has nothing to do with anyone, everyone is on a mission, and they are on the winning side in this battle.
Hutou Mountain sacrificed 22 members of the special combat team and more than 500 soldiers, but what about the little devils? How many people are there at the expense of a half wing, a brigade, a squadron? At least in the case of a few thousand people, the current Haichi Town can be described as a heavy loss.
Three minutes later.
"End of silence." Zhou Weiguo shouted: "Now we are firing cannons for our heroes, our martyrs." ”
"Raise your gun." A responsible company commander commanded the guard of honor and shouted.
Click...
The guard of honor holds their weapons aloft.
"Put." The company commander in charge shouted.
Bang bang bang...
"Put."
Bang bang bang...
"Put."
Bang bang bang...
After the gun was fired, the cannon was fired.
"Ready." The company commander in charge shouted at several artillery soldiers.
Click...
The soldier prepares to load the bullet.
"Put."
Boom boom...
"Put."
Boom boom...
"Put."
Boom boom...
The burst of gunfire ended.
"Please remember that today is the sad day of our Independent Regiment......," Zhou Weiguo said, standing in the heavy rain, continued to encourage all the soldiers.
Of course, this time it was not only the independent regiment that attended the funeral, but also the brigade commander and the main officers of the brigade headquarters were all present.
The brigade commander listened to Zhou Weiguo's words, and his blood was boiling, and he wanted to rush to the enemy immediately, but he couldn't, he was not an ordinary soldier, he needed to think about the soldiers of the whole brigade, and naturally he also needed to think about the overall situation.
War is not a one-man affair, but a team affair.
It's about life and death.
So be prepared, unless, of course, it's a passive war.
An hour later.
The hero's funeral is over.
It really taught the brigade commander a new lesson, and felt that the heroic monument erected by the independent regiment was very valuable, and he also fully respected and remembered every soldier who sacrificed his life, especially to leave their spirit in everyone.
"When we go back, in the brigade, we will also erect a monument to heroes to remember our sacrificed soldiers and immortalize their spirits." The brigade commander commanded to the political commissar beside him.
