Duan Peng, Lu Yuan, Ma Fei, Zhao Dequan, Zhao Sanpao, Ou Yangguang and others all asked to stay, unwilling to leave at this time.

Wang Gui and Chen Ming also persuaded Yang Chen, hoping to stay and command the enemy troops instead of him, so that Yang Chen could lead his troops to Linhe Village to cross the river and go north.

Yang Chen categorically refused, and scolded with a calm face: "Okay, this is an order, not to discuss with you, everyone will execute it immediately!" ”

Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and in front of a group of officers and soldiers, they are not easy to disobey the orders of Yang Chen.

I had to bite the bullet and accept this order.

Xu Hailang and Sun Cheng took advantage of the opportunity for the troops to act separately to change the uniforms of the devils and the puppet army, pulled Yang Chen aside, and persuaded him bitterly: "Tuanzao, how can you stay and risk yourself?" You must know that you are the backbone of our Tiger Regiment, and you are the soul of our Tiger Regiment, and there must be no room for error.

Therefore, it is enough for the two of us to stay behind to contain the little devils, and we promise to complete the task of luring the enemy, and plan for you to successfully cross the river and go north.

If the mission fails, be willing to accept military justice! ”

"No, you don't have to fight with me about this, and you don't have to worry about me." Yang Chen glanced back at the officers and soldiers who were preparing for each other.

In a solemn tone, he turned back to the two of them: "We all know that most of the soldiers who stayed behind this time to lure the enemy may die on the battlefield and never return alive."

As their regimental commander, I naturally want to stay and lead them to fight to the end, which can be regarded as living up to the trust of the soldiers in me.

As for my personal safety, you don't have to worry too much, if there is no bond, I want to break through, even if there are 100,000 Japanese troops, I can't keep me! ”

This is not to say that Yang Chen alone can defeat the 100,000 Japanese army, but he is alone, the target has become smaller, he is proficient in Japanese, and his individual combat ability is also very strong.

If you want to get through the trick and escape, there are ways and opportunities.

When the two of them saw Yang Chen say this, their mood became very sad, but they no longer argued, and at the same time saluted Yang Chen, and said in unison: "Since this is the case, then we will accompany the head of the regiment to fight to the death in this battle!" ”

"Hmm!"

Yang Chen bowed slightly.

At this time, the personnel were basically distributed.

So, Yang Chen, Wang Gui and Chen Ming divided their troops.

Yang Chen, Xu Hailang and Sun Cheng led nearly 900 officers and soldiers to stay, wrapped up in the puppet army prisoners who were forced to change their military uniforms, pretended to be the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment, and turned around and turned due west.

Wang Gui, Chen Ming, Duan Peng, as well as Lu Yuan, Ma Fei, Ou Yangguang and others, took about 1,000 officers and soldiers, changed into the military uniforms of devils and puppet soldiers, and retreated in the direction of Linhe Village in the northwest.

……

At that time, Yang Chen and his troops walked due west for about less than 40 miles, and it didn't take long for the sky to brighten.

Three Japanese planes flew rapidly from a high altitude in the distance, apparently spotting them.

Of course, this is Yang Chen's deliberate exposure of his whereabouts to the devil.

He wanted to lure the devil to pursue the troops to chase them, so as to persuade Wang Gui and Chen Ming to break through.

Naturally, you can't take the path.

Otherwise, if the little devil finds out about Wang Gui and them first, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

The three devil planes were all reconnaissance planes, and after spotting the moving team.

"Buzz! ——”

Immediately, with the screeching roar of the engine, they swooped down.

"Spread out!"

"Spread out! ——”

Yang Chen, Xu Hailang and Sun Cheng immediately ordered the troops to disperse and hide.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment scattered in all directions, some hid in the ditches on the side of the road, others hid in wheat fields and woods.

But the puppet army captives who were coerced by the Tiger Regiment reacted much slower than the well-trained and battle-hardened soldiers of the Tiger Regiment.

Before they could react, the three devil reconnaissance planes launched a dive strafing attack on the ground, and the dense rain of bullets hit the ground with dust and smoke, and flames appeared.

Then the bullets whistled into the crowd of puppet army captives, and suddenly there was a scream like killing pigs, and more than a dozen puppet army prisoners fell down one after another.

Seeing this, the machine gunners, who had just taken refuge in a safe position, immediately took their machine guns and fired back into the air.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

A dense rain of bullets poured down on the devil's reconnaissance plane.

The speed of the three devil reconnaissance planes was extremely fast, almost roaring past, so the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment did not have time to aim at all, and the counterattack fire was all in the air.

I thought that the three devil planes would go and return, but unexpectedly, they quickly pulled up and flew into the distance.

As soon as the puppet captives on the ground who had not been hit wanted to get up and run away, Yang Chen, Xu Hailang and Sun Cheng led the soldiers to rush back from the surrounding woods, grasses, wheat fields, and ditches and regain control of them.

"Tuanzao, why did the devil plane withdraw so quickly?" Rake Ear kicked a dishonest puppet soldier to the ground, and asked Yang Chen with some doubts.

"These are devil reconnaissance planes, their purpose is to reconnoiter our whereabouts, not to destroy us, now that the goal has been achieved, of course there is no need to fight with us, withdraw early and send the intelligence up, naturally there will be its ground troops to encircle and suppress us.

Moreover, the devil fighter has been shot down by us several times, and I think there will be some shadows and precautions in my heart. Yang Chen looked at the devil reconnaissance camp that had left and explained slowly.

"If we had planes, we would kill them all, so that these bunnies would never come back!" Xu Hailang looked at the Japanese reconnaissance plane that disappeared into the sky, and said angrily.

Yang Chen continued: "Don't worry, keep going, after returning to Shanxi this time, it won't be long before we have our own air force fighters!" ”

Yang Chen's words are not false at all, because in the battle of Datong, he captured nearly 100 devil fighters.

It's just that there has been no suitable opportunity to use it, plus there is no time to train pilots.

So since then, these planes have been displayed in his personal space.

…………

Hefei, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Not long after the nameless hillside position was attacked, Okamura Ninji, an old devil, received the news.

However, it was late at night and the reconnaissance planes could not be dispatched, so he could only give an order to let the encirclement and suppression troops turn around and encircle this position.

At this time, as the air force reconnaissance plane reported the information it had gathered, Okamura Ninji's communications staff officer quickly took the most valuable telegram and rushed into the command room where Okamura Ninji was.

Okamura Ninji, the old devil, was furious at the time for encircling and suppressing the troops and losing the traces of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Several of the operational staff officers present were all trembling with fright, their heads lowered, as if they were walking on thin ice, and they did not dare to take a breath in the atmosphere.
