Chapter 177: Crisis

As for the Japanese troops sweeping on the southern front, it was the Fujita Wing, another unit of the 69th Division, was in charge, although the specific strength was unknown, but the column believed that the total strength of the Japanese troops on the southern front would not be less than five infantry squadrons and at least one battalion of puppet troops.

In addition to bringing valuable information from the column headquarters, the underground party also brought orders from Leiwan City.

In fact, it is not so much an order as a reminder.

"Comrade Zhao Shixun and Comrade Zhou Yu, the current large force of the column is fighting against the Japanese Kou Fujita Wing who swept from the southern front, and there will be no troops to go north to support you in a short time.

If Shi Ziyubu is unwilling to go into the mountains to fight, Comrade Zhao Shixun can judge the situation on his own and act on his own, and at the same time remember to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army and be very careful! ”

After reading the last word, Zhou Yu licked his dry lips, looked up at Zhao Shixun, and waited for the other party to speak.

The situation was found to this day, and Zhou Yu felt that the little military knowledge in his head was no longer enough. I don't even know what to say.

"Lao Zhao, what do you say we should do next?"

Looking at Zhou Yu, Zhao Shixun slowly stood up. The calloused right hand rubbed the dead bark of the ravines on the trunk of the tree next to him a few times, and Zhao Shixun fell into deep thought.

He habitually closed his eyes, letting intelligence and geographical knowledge converge in his mind, trying to find a way to survive the most.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Shixun's back, sighed and didn't speak, he wanted to help, but he was afraid that it would be unhelpful.

Just when Zhao Shixun was deep in thought, a sudden burst of gunfire suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain.

Bang! Bang!

Shocked by the gunshot, Zhao Shixun opened his eyes violently.

"All on alert!"

With the order of instructor Zhou Yu, the nearby soldiers raised their guns one after another.

At this moment, the big pillar, which had been training soldiers not far away, came running out of breath.

"Company commander, in the valley ahead, it's a medium formal."

Nodding, Zhao Shixun pulled out his box cannon.

"Assemble all of you, come with me."

Not long after, with the assembled team, Zhao Shixun and the others went straight to the place where the gun rang out.

After walking down the mountain and walking along the valley for less than twenty minutes, the team that had been chaotic appeared in front of Zhao Shixun and them. And the sudden gunfire just now should be from the team in front of you.

With everyone continuing to walk forward for a short distance, Zhao Shixun and the others gradually saw the team in the valley clearly.

Looking at the young and strong peasants who were tied together one after another in the valley, and the more than sixty soldiers of the national army who were shouting and drinking around them. Zhao Shixun and the others figured it out, this was obviously a team that captured Dinglaf, and it belonged to the 70th Division of the Jin Sui Army.

In the end, more than fifty meters away from them, Zhao Shixun called off his team.

If it is confirmed that it is not a devil puppet army, it naturally has nothing to do with the Seventh Company. In this case, if Zhao Shixun doesn't want to get involved in the chaos in front of him, the safest way is to keep a distance and watch rationally.

Behind the young and strong team, five or six men in tattered clothes were pressed to the ground by a dozen soldiers, laboriously tied with ropes.

One of the men with a tiger's back seemed to have a lot of strength, and it was only five or six soldiers of the Seventy Division who could barely hold him down.

"Deflated calf, let go of Lao Tzu, or I'll kill you! Lao Tzu is not going to be a soldier, let go of Lao Tzu! ”

"Damn, isn't it easier for you to eat imperial food than digging in this soil? You don't fucking know each other yet, believe it or not, Lao Tzu helped you loosen your bones! ”

The words were closed, and a few soldiers punched and kicked the stout man on the ground.

"Big brother! Don't beat my big brother, we're soldiers, we're soldiers! ”

When several tied men saw that their eldest brother was beaten, they quickly begged.

After a while, as if they were tired, several veterans gradually withdrew their hands and wiped the sweat from their heads.

"Damn, this kid is so strong, he kicked Lao Tzu's feet and the surface of his feet hurt."

"Who says it's not, such a good physique, if you don't become a soldier, you're blind."

After pulling a few men back to the team, the leader of the team, the company commander, stood on a high place with his waist and said a few words, the content of which was nothing more than the rise and fall of the world. In the end, he once again stated that if anyone escaped, he would be punished for the crime of fleeing from the battle and would not be tolerated.

After a brief reprimand, the team slowly advanced towards Ding Jiawa again.

Seeing the team set off again, many villagers begged the soldiers around them loudly, begging them to let them go back to farming and taking care of their families. Some people wept when they saw that they couldn't go home.

Looking at it from a distance, Zhou Yu walked up to Zhao Shixun and couldn't bear to ask:

"Lao Zhao, why don't we take care of it?"

Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Shixun's gaze withdrew from the fading team.

"This is the matter of the 70th Division, we have no reason to take care of it, and we can't manage it."

For Zhao Shixun, who has served in the old army for many years, the arrest of Dillav is too common. The Central Army of the National Army is still like this, not to mention the local Jin Sui Army in Shanxi.

The 70th Division has suffered too much loss in recent times, and a division is about to become a brigade, and it really needs to replenish troops, but Zhao Shixun didn't expect Shi Ziyu to send people down to arrest Ding Lafu at this time. It seems that Shi Ziyu is indeed forced by the current situation.

Suddenly, looking at the team in the distance, Zhao Shixun chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

In the face of the pressure of the Japanese army, since the 70th Division has begun to arrest Dingrav regardless of the lives of the people, its own unit has become a piece of "fat" that can be annexed at any time in the eyes of the other party.

After thinking about it, although Zhao Shixun felt that Shi Ziyu was not the kind of person who liked to annex friendly forces, who could guarantee that there were no such people under his men?

Just like the arrest of Dingrav just now, it may not be Shi Ziyu's order at all, but from the middle and low-level officers below the 70th Division.

There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and it seems that it is time for him to take his brothers away.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun waved his hand.

"Attention everyone, return to Dingjiawa station immediately and go!"

……

After returning to Dingjiawa, Zhao Shixun found that there were many more ragged villagers in the station. Depending on the situation, most of them were caught by strong men.

Without the slightest delay, Zhao Shixun asked the soldiers to quickly pack their things.

"Lao Zhao, what should I do with the seizure of that big car in the yard? Why don't we catch a car and leave? ”

At this moment, Zhou Yu hurriedly ran over and said anxiously.

On the way back, Zhao Shixun told Zhou Yu his thoughts. Knowing that the Seventy Division might swallow his own team, Zhou Yu was also taken aback. He hadn't been in the old army, so he didn't think about it at all. Now hearing Zhao Shixun say this, Zhou Yu immediately believed seven or eight points.

In fact, Zhao Shixun was also thinking about what to do with this large cart of arms and ammunition before.

Let's get away in a hurry, it will be too obvious, and it will inevitably let Shi Ziyu know. Saying goodbye without saying goodbye to such an open fire will obviously make Shi Ziyu feel uncomfortable.

But if you go and talk to Shi Ziyu first, Zhao Shixun is not very worried about Shi Ziyu's subordinates. After thinking about it, Zhao Shixun finally gritted his teeth.

"The 38 big cover and the official one person on the cart took one on his back and took it away, and the ammunition was also carried, and Hanyang didn't want one, all of them were left."

"This ......, isn't it a bit of a loss?"

Hearing that Zhao Shixun wanted to leave dozens of Hanyang Zhuang, Zhou Yu was a little reluctant.

"The Seventy Division is being expanded and is in need of these weapons. We don't say goodbye, leaving these weapons can be regarded as giving Shi Ziyu enough face, which is also a good thing for us. ”

"Well...... it's still Lao Zhao who thinks a lot, so I'll listen to you."

……

Soon, the Seventh Company left the small courtyard where it had lived for a few days in full gear, and swaggered away from Dingjiawa under the noses of the officers and men of the 70th Division.

Before leaving, Zhao Shixun thought about it again and again, and decided to leave a note for Shi Ziyu, briefly talking about the matter of taking people away, and explaining the latest Japanese army movements he had gotten.

The matter has come to this point, whether Shi Ziyu believes his words or not, Zhao Shixun doesn't care. After all, he is soft-spoken, even if the other party doesn't believe it, there is nothing he can do.

After leaving Dingjiawa, Zhao Shixun led the team to find a hidden valley in the familiar Yangjialing generation, and after marking it, he wrapped all the excess weapons and buried them on the spot.

The Seventh Company now removed the seven people who had died before and a few seriously wounded, and now there are seventy-one people left. However, the current weapons of the Seventh Company are more than double the number of people.

Therefore, Zhao Shixun decided to replace all the others, except for the machine gunner, with the 38 big cover, so as to unify the ammunition caliber.

After equipping each soldier with a set of Japanese-style infantry equipment, Zhao Shixun and the soldiers were just about to walk down Yangjialing, when they suddenly heard a dense explosion faintly from the north!

Thundered......

The sound of the cannon was transmitted along the valley, and it was very close to hear.

"It's the devil's seven-five mountain cannon! The distance is up to five kilometers! ”

Standing on the ridge, Zhao Shixun looked at the direction from which the cannon sound came, frowned and said in a deep voice. Behind him, all the soldiers of the Seventh Company were holding their breath, quietly listening to the fierce shelling that they had never heard before.

"Lao Zhao, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu looked at the direction of the cannon sound and asked anxiously.

Hearing that he didn't speak, Zhao Shixun quickly took out the map from his wallet, then put the map on his lap and took out a compass to quickly compare the position.

"The shelling is due north and east, it should be in the direction of Taerliang."

"Tower Beam...... Isn't that the north gate of the Seventy Division's station? ”

Looking at Zhou Yu, Zhao Shixun quickly put away the map.

"That's right, it seems that the Japanese are moving much faster than we thought."

"So what do we do? …… Lao Zhao, do you think the Seventy Division can hold it? ”

Shaking his head, Zhao Shixun raised his glasses to observe the surrounding environment.

"I don't know, hopefully they can hold on. Let's search in the direction of Fengjiahe first, and I am worried that the Japanese are likely to bypass the Dingjiawa flank. ”

Woo......

With a characteristic roar, several black dots quickly appeared in the front northern sky.

"The devil's plane, all of them go into the woods and hide ......! Take cover! ”

…… To be continued, ask for collections, ask for recommendations.

If you like it, collect it.
