The command room of the military headquarters of the 51st Army.

Hearing the news that the commander of the 720th Regiment had withdrawn his troops to the north bank without authorization, Yu Xuezhong suddenly turned blue with anger.

As the general of the Northeast Army, Yu Xuezhong has been holding his breath.

Yu Xuezhong swore that he must fight a good battle with the devils in the Five War Zones to bring shame to the northeast.

However, his subordinates mobilized troops without asking for instructions and abandoned the position on the south bank, which really slapped Yu Xuezhong in the face.

Staring at Xiao Bengbu on the map, Yu Xuezhong shouted: "Chief of Staff, Zhang Wucheng of the 720th Regiment transferred the troops back to the north bank without authorization, what do you think about this?"

With a slight groan, the chief of staff shouted: "Military seat, in my opinion, it is not entirely a bad thing for Regiment Commander Zhang to withdraw his troops from Xiaobengbu to the north bank!"

His eyes were stunned, and Yu Xuezhong exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, why is this?"

The chief of staff continued: "The military seat, the art of war, a battle against the water, it is a battle to the death, since it is a battle to the death, it is better to defend it with Huai, and attack halfway, Commander Zhang is also retreating, waiting for the next day to find fighters to defeat the Japanese invaders!"

With a gloomy face, Yu Xuezhong shouted: "Retreat, Lao Tzu has retreated enough, the devil hit Shenyang Beidaying, Lao Tzu retreated to Shanhaiguan, the devil hit Shanhaiguan, Lao Tzu retreated to Beiping, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't want to retreat anymore, and if he pushes it down, the entire Northeast Army will soon become a joke in the whole country!" I don't want the face of the 51st Army anymore! ”

The chief of staff shouted in harmony: "Please calm your anger, our Northeast Army has no territory now, and we must not pay attention to saving ourselves, after the Xi'an military admonition, the chairman of the committee has always regarded us as a thorn in the flesh, and wants to attack us in every possible way, although we are fighting a national war, we must pay attention to saving ourselves!"

After a pause, the chief of staff continued: "On the other hand, Xiaobengbu is on the south bank of the Huai River, once the battle is unfavorable, it is easy to fall into the encirclement of devils, and due to the suppression of aircraft and artillery firepower, it is difficult for us to reinforce Xiaobengbu in time, so that the 720th regiment will be easily eaten by devils!"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xuezhong shouted: "The chief of staff thinks about it quite long-term, in the Battle of Songhu, several fraternal units of our Northeast Army were disabled, and the chairman not only did not replenish weapons and soldiers in time, but canceled the number on the spot, disrupted the formation, and replenished the Central Army!" Sima Zhao's heart is very vicious! ”

The chief of staff shouted: "So the 720th Regiment gives up Xiaobengbu, so there is no need to pursue it too much!"

Yu Xuezhong shouted: "But if you retreat to the north bank, you must hold Bengbu, this place is lost, and the entire Huai River defense line cannot be fought!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Junzuo, don't worry, according to my understanding, Commander Zhang still knows this point!"

Yu Xuezhong shouted: "But Zhang Wucheng, this kid, retreated north without asking for instructions, I still have to make a punishment, otherwise I won't be able to maintain the prestige of the army!"

The chief of staff shouted, "This is not simple, then Zhang Wucheng will be demoted to battalion commander!" ”

Shaking his head, Yu Xuezhong shouted: "No, Zhang Wucheng has been demoted to battalion commander, how can this battle be fought?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Then demote to the deputy regiment commander, the former deputy regiment commander will serve as the acting regiment commander!"

Glancing at the chief of staff, Yu Xuezhong shouted: "This is a good idea, but although Zhang Wucheng is the deputy commander, he still has to take the lead in command!"

The chief of staff replied: "Of course, okay, I'll go write a punishment telegram now!"

……

In Bengbu on the north bank of the Huai River.

With the help of the shelter of the reeds, Liang Shanhao carefully observed the small Bengbu on the south bank.

At this time, Xiaobengbu has been completely occupied by devils.

Staring at the devils on the other side, Han Chongcheng on the side shouted: "Tuanza, the little devil has to say that there are two wings, if I am still defending in Xiaobengbu, this will have to be explained!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "What a regimental seat, Lao Tzu is now the deputy head of the regiment!"

Han Chongcheng smiled and shouted, "Tuanza, what are you talking about?" You weren't the only one who had the final say in the war, Tuanza, seriously, I really admired you, if you hadn't had the foresight to burn down thousands of ferries, that little devil wouldn't have taken advantage of it! ”

There was no trace of waves on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted: "To fight with the little devil, you can't just rely on one blood, one hard little devil is hard, you have to learn to use your brain, if you can die less brothers, you have to die less brothers!"

Nodding his head heavily, Han Chongcheng shouted again and again: "Tuanzuo, that's what you said!" Follow you to fight, I don't worry! ”

At this time, the little devils on the opposite bank were setting up mortar positions.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Liang Shanhao lowered his voice and shouted: "Battalion Commander Han, bring the 82mm mortar!"

Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuanzao, what are you going to do?"

Looking coldly at the devil mortar on the south bank of the Huai River, Liang Shanhao shouted: "The little devil doesn't take us seriously, he dares to set up a mortar in the unobstructed river beach area, it seems that I have to teach the little devil to be a man!"

With a look of surprise, Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuanzuo, isn't this too risky, if you are locked by the little devil's artillery, no one will be able to escape!"

Liang Shanhao shouted with a grin: "What nonsense, don't miss the opportunity, hurry up, move the mortars over."

The next moment, Han Chongcheng brought up a mortar.

Liang Shanhao personally adjusted the firing position.

With a wicked smile on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted in a deep voice: "Battalion Commander Han, load!"

With a promise, Han Chongcheng stuffed a high-explosive shell into the muzzle.

Tong!

Liang Shanhao shouted, "Go on!"

The second shell flew out.

In the next moment, the devil artillery position on the opposite bank burst into flames.

Boom Boom!

Between the lightning and flint, the devil artillery lay down at least four or five.

However, the devil artillery observer discovered the approximate location of Liang Shanhao's hiding at this time.

Realizing the devil's counterattack early in the morning, Liang Shanhao shouted categorically: "Battalion Commander Han, hurry, bring a mortar and follow me!"

Holding a high-explosive bomb in his hand, Han Chongcheng wondered: "Tuanzao, the little devil was blown up by us, why don't you seize the opportunity to do it hard?"

Quickly removed the mortar's seat, Liang Shanhao shouted in a deep voice: "It's still a fart!" If we continue to fight, the little devil's counterattack artillery will be on our radar! ”

Hearing this, Han Chongcheng picked up the mortar and followed Liang Shanhao to transfer the gun position.

As soon as Liang Shanhao and the others finished setting up the mortars again, more than a dozen mortars of the devils smashed towards the original artillery position.

Seeing the flames exploding, Han Chongcheng suddenly gasped: "The little devil doesn't have to worry about the cannon, as soon as he makes a move, he will have a base number for us!"

After adjusting the shooting Zhu Yuan again, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Less fucking nonsense, one more shot, hurry up and reload, Lao Tzu called the little devil more shells!"

Han Chongcheng stuffed the cannonball into the barrel again.

Thundered!

A high-explosive bomb whizzed down into the devil's ammunition box.

In the next second, the devil shell on the other side exploded!

In the explosion, at least one of the little devils of the detachment was killed!

With a dumbfounded face, Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuanza, you are simply a god, now it's okay, the little devil should have no shells!"

Without the slightest ripple on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Today's combat mission is almost complete, return to the position!"
