Chapter 386: Retreat to the West
Taierzhuang.
Chief Li is leading a group of generals to inspect the battlefield in Taierzhuang.
Everywhere you look, there are ruins.
The walls along the street are densely riddled with bullet holes.
There is not a complete building in the whole Taierzhuang.
From this, it can be seen how hard the 31st Division fought!
As he walked, Chief Li shouted in a deep voice: "Old Sun, the Battle of Xuzhou can be fought in such a situation, and your Second Army, especially the 31st Division under your command, has made great contributions!"
Commander-in-Chief Sun, who followed behind him, said modestly: "Chief Li has won the award, our Northwest Army just did what it should do for the great cause of the War of Resistance!"
Glancing back at Commander-in-Chief Sun, Chief Li smiled and shouted, "Old Sun, if only Tang Enbo could think like you, the battle situation in Xuzhou may be clearer than now!"
The chief of staff on the side picked up the conversation: "Yes! Although all the troops are now gathered in Chaoyi County, the tactical coordination of the various units is very problematic, and it is impossible to completely annihilate the Isogu Division before the arrival of the devil reinforcements, and once the devil reinforcements arrive, the troops gathered in Yi County may also encounter danger! ”
With a heavy sigh, Chief Li exclaimed, "Hey! I really commanded the immovable soup army, this soup army commander repeatedly disobeyed orders, yang and yin disobeyed, a good battle, stunned into a pot of porridge! ”
As soon as the words fell, a communication soldier hurriedly ran over!
After saluting the senior generals, the signal soldier raised his voice and shouted: "Chief Li! Frontline Emergency! ”
Chief Li shouted, "Read!"
The signal soldier shouted: "The devil reinforcements have arrived in Yi County at 21 o'clock, and attacked the troops near Yi County, the Xianchuan Army Brigade has been defeated by the devils, although the 181st Regiment has reduced its strength by one-third and retreated to the area of the Qinglong River!"
His face suddenly sank, and Chief Li shouted, "What? The little devil's reinforcements are moving so fast! ”
Other high-ranking generals were also in an uproar.
The sudden arrival of devil reinforcements disrupted the operational deployment of the Fifth War Zone.
Judging from the current situation, let alone encircling and annihilating the 10th Division, it will be a problem to even maintain the strength of the troops on the front line.
Attacking is no longer possible.
Now, it's time for the troops gathered in Yi County to consider retreating!
The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Chief Li, since the devil reinforcements have arrived on the battlefield, then the battle plan to attack Yi County and destroy the 10th Division should be canceled immediately!" Now it's a strategic task to preserve the living forces! ”
Nodding, Chief Li shouted: "The chief of staff is right, we should not hesitate to gain or lose one city and one pool, and now it's time to consider the issue of retreat!" Chief of Staff White, what do you propose for a retreat?"
With a slight groan, Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "The retreat should pay attention to organization and discipline, and we should not retreat in a swarm, and all units should cover each other when retreating, and we should not fight on their own, otherwise once the pursuing troops of the devils catch up, it will inevitably lead to the tragedy of Songhu and retreat!"
In the Battle of Songhu, the retreat of millions of troops was chaotic, and the veterans who had gone through a bloody battle lost a lot on the way to Nanjing.
You must know that veterans who have been tempered by the fire of Songhu are very valuable.
With a heavy sigh, Chief Li groaned and shouted: "The retreat from Songhu is simply a big failure, this retreat must be taken as a warning, Chief of Staff, you report the withdrawal to the high command on the one hand, and convey the plan to retreat to the west to all troops on the other!"
As soon as he raised his head towards Chief Li, Chief of Staff Bai shouted in response: "Yes!"
……
Qinglong River pontoon bridge.
At this time, the fighters of the 181 regiment had withdrawn to the Qinglong River.
As soon as they arrived at the Qinglong River, the news of the death of all the members of the second battalion reached the ears of the regiment commander.
Hearing this, the regimental commander's eyes were red like an angry leopard.
The back molars squeaked, and the regiment commander shouted in a deep voice: "Little devil, this revenge will not be avenged, and the regiment commander will not be a man!"
With the same red eyes, the two battalion commanders shouted: "Regimental seat! Let's fight with the little devils by the Qinglong River and avenge the second battalion commander and the brothers of the second battalion! ”
With a slight groan, the regiment commander shouted: "! Lao Tzu must kill these little devils! ”
The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Tuanza! But the division has just given an order, ordering us to cover the retreat of the 10th Artillery Regiment to the west! The military order cannot be violated! ”
With a cold face, the regiment commander shouted: "Chief of Staff, is there still a sentence that the general will not be subject to the orders of the army abroad?" As long as the battle can be won, what about the necessary disobedience to military orders! ”
With a frown, the chief of staff shouted: "But what about the safety of the 10th Artillery Regiment!" The 10th Artillery Regiment is a German-made 150 mm caliber howitzer, but there are few in the whole army, so there must be no mistakes! ”
The regiment commander shouted: "You don't have to worry about this, even if my 181st regiment fights out, I will definitely protect the 10th regiment of artillery!"
At this time, the commander of the 10th Artillery Regiment came over towards the 181st Regiment!
The commander of the 181st Regiment also greeted him.
With the rank of colonel, the two regiment commanders saluted each other.
Regiment Commander Lu shouted: "Brother Ma, the safety of the back of my 10th Artillery Regiment depends entirely on you!"
Smiling slightly, Regiment Commander Ma shouted: "Brother Lu, these twelve heavy artillery pieces of yours are the treasures of the whole army, and my 181st Regiment should do its best to provide protection!" Put your heart in your belly! ”
With a grateful look on his face, Regiment Commander Lu shouted: "Then on behalf of the 10th Artillery Regiment, I will thank all the brothers of the 181st Regiment!"
After a pause, Captain Ma pulled Captain Lu aside: "Brother Lu, I have something to ask for!"
Slightly stunned, Regiment Leader Lu shouted: "Brother Ma, if you have something to say, as long as I can help, brother, I will definitely do my best!" Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.
Captain Ma shouted, "Good! Brother Lu, before your heavy artillery retreats, can you shoot a few shots at the brothers! My second battalion was unfortunately killed in Xiaolizhuang, and I want to the little devil hard by the Qinglong River! ”
Speaking of this, Captain Ma's eyes turned red again.
The second battalion is the most capable battalion of the 181st Regiment, but now it is ......
After a slight hesitation, Regiment Leader Lu shouted, "Brother Ma! The Ministry of Military Affairs has regulations that I need to report to the high command for approval to use artillery shells, and I can't just provide artillery support for friendly troops! ”
Captain Ma shouted, "Brother Lu! The rules are dead, but people are alive! You can always find a reasonable reason to fight outside with a howitzer, and besides, you are fighting devils, so you can avenge my brothers in the second battalion! ”
After a little hesitation, Regiment Leader Lu shouted loudly: "Okay! This is a favor for my 10th Artillery Regiment, but when the time comes, the 181st Regiment must ensure that our 10th Artillery Regiment can retreat westward smoothly! ”
Stretching out his hand and patting his chest, Regiment Leader Ma Zhengse shouted: "You can rest assured about this, as long as there is a brother in my 181st Regiment who is standing, I will never let the little devil threaten the flank of the 10th Artillery Regiment!"
