Dragon and Tiger Pass, the command room of the Ito Brigade.

Standing in front of a military map, the commander of the Ito Brigade was carefully considering the military situation.

In the ambush battle of Yizigu, a division of the Chinese Army actually ate a wing under its command.

Although this wing is only a second-rate unit of the Ito Brigade, it belongs to the battle sequence of the Ito Brigade after all!

In other words, the defeat of the Ichikoya was directly related to the honor of the Ito Brigade in the entire North China Front.

The commander of the Ito Brigade is responsible for all the jade crushing of the Asada Wing.

In order to wash away this humiliation, the commander of the Ito Brigade was determined to annihilate this Shina army.

In order to annihilate this Chinese army, the commander of the Ito Brigade made great efforts and deliberately sent three wings and air force reconnaissance to outflank it.

Before sunset today, the commander of the Ito Brigade should be able to hear the news of victory!

While he was groaning, a devil messenger walked in from outside the door of the command room.

He gave a military salute to the commander of the Ito Brigade, and the devil messenger shouted: "Report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the Air Force reconnaissance report has found the marching track of the Zhina Army in the area of Lingyungang!"

With an eyebrow raised, the commander of the Ito Brigade exclaimed, "Oh? The Chinese army went to Lingyungang? ”

The chief of staff of the devil on the side shouted: "Lingyungang, as far as I know, this is a dead place, this piece is full of dense forests and miasma, and there are large swamp areas in it, the Chinese army dares to go here, it is basically difficult, nine deaths and one life!!"

Suddenly gasped, the commander of the Ito Brigade shouted: "Chief of Staff, in your opinion, should we pursue?"

With a slight groan, the chief of staff of the devil shouted: "The strategic task of the Battle of Xuzhou has basically been completed, and the pursuit line of the headquarters is to the foot of Dabie Mountain, since the Zhina army has escaped into Lingyungang, there is no need for us to continue the pursuit!"

Stunned, the commander of the Ito brigade shouted, "If we stop the pursuit, won't we be able to wash away the shame of our brigade?"

The chief of staff of the devil shouted: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, there is a chance to wash away the shame and redeem the honor of the brigade and regiment, according to reliable information, our division and regiment will soon be placed under the command of the Central China Front Army and participate in the military operation to attack Wuhan!"

With his eyes lit up, the commander of the Ito Brigade shouted, "Oh, it's true, it looks like I'm going to have to withdraw my troops!"

As soon as the voice fell, a devil communication soldier walked in and reported: "Your Excellency, the commander of the brigade, the latest report from the Air Force reconnaissance has sent the 36th Wing to Lingyungang!" The 13th and 14th Wings headed for Xitang Town! ”

With a look in his eyes, the commander of the Ito Brigade exclaimed, "What's the situation? How could this Aoki go deep into Lingyungang alone, isn't this looking for death? ”

The chief of staff of the devil also shouted: "This 36th Wing is too impulsive, why can't the lesson of the fiasco in Yizigu be taken as a warning?"

The commander of the Ito Brigade raised his voice and shouted: "I have already lost a 96th Wing, and I can't lose another 36th Wing!" Signal soldier, immediately send a report to the 36th Wing, tell Aoki-kun, immediately withdraw from Lingyungang and bring the troops back to me! ”

Yizigu lost a Matian Wing, if Lingyungang lost another Aoki Wing, how could the commander of the Ito Brigade explain to the division headquarters!

The devil signal soldier shouted: "Report to Your Excellency the brigade commander, since this morning, the brigade headquarters has not been able to contact the radio of the 36th Wing!"

The two tigers glared, and the commander of the Ito Brigade shouted, "Nani? Could it be that this Aoki United also dares to disobey and disrespect?"

The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the terrain of Lingyungang is complicated, and the radio contact signal should be affected, now we can only ask the Air Force for help!"

With a heavy sigh, the commander of the Ito Brigade shouted: "Signal Corps, continue to call the Aoki Wing, and at the same time request support from the Beiping Air Base!"

The devil messenger shouted, "Yes!"

……

In Xitang Town, there was a surge of people, and people were dragging their families and retreating into the mountains.

Receiving an order from the headquarters of the group army, Brigade Commander Han quickly organized the transfer of civilians.

Standing on the side of the road, Brigade Commander Han raised his voice and shouted: "Folks, hurry up!" In another hour, the little devil will be over! Come on! ”

At this time, Li Million and more than a dozen merchants retreated with a group of wounded soldiers.

Li Million came over to the Korean brigade commander!

With a puzzled look on his face, Li Million shouted, "Brigade Commander Han, why is this Xitang Town not guarded?" What about our reinforcements? ”

Shaking his head, Brigade Commander Han shouted: "Mayor Li, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive again, now thirty kilometers away from Xitang Town, there are already two devils' wings, our department has suffered heavy casualties, and it is too late for other troops to rush here!"

His eyes were stunned, and Li Million shouted: "In this way, the family business we have accumulated in Xitang Town is over!"

The businessmen who followed closely behind Li Million also shouted!

"Brigade Commander Han, you reversed your word, why did you regret it today!"

"Brigade Commander Han, are you afraid of the little devils?"

"Brigade Commander Han, I'm very disappointed in you, how can you be worthy of the word soldier?"

"Thanks to my family's grain store, you also donated 800 catties of rice, and you have eaten my family's grain for nothing!"

With a look of guilt on his face, Brigade Commander Han shouted, "Everyone? Give up Xitang Town, although this is an order from Shangfeng, as a soldier, I have to obey it, but I Han someone broke his word, this is indeed my fault! But I am here to tell you that before the people of Xitang Town have withdrawn from Xitang Town, the soldiers of our Seventh Independent Brigade must protect the people even if they only have one soldier left! ”

Hearing this, several businessmen whispered.

Although Brigade Commander Han broke his promise, the little devil pressed the border with heavy troops, and even though the Seventh Independent Brigade suffered heavy casualties, it could have left the people behind and fled on its own, but now it is willing to block bullets for the people of Xitang Town.

At this point, the anger of several businessmen disappeared in an instant.

After a moment of silence, Li Million shouted: "Brigade Commander Han, the Duqi Brigade has fought bloodily and has suffered heavy casualties, and now the devils are once again pressing the border, in order to protect the people, the Duqi Brigade will continue to suffer casualties, we really shouldn't accuse Brigade Commander Han like this!"

Several other merchants also changed their colors.

"I'm sorry, Brigadier Han!"

"Big guy, let's move quickly!"

"Big guy, every hour we go faster, the brothers of the 7th Independent Brigade can eat one less bullet!"

"I don't want any belongings, we can earn them again in the future!"

"Yes, yes, talent is the most important thing, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood!"

There was a shout, and several merchants also rejoined the ranks of the transfer.

The North and South Korean brigade commanders clenched their fists, and Li Wanwei shouted: "Korean brigade commander, take care!"

Brigade Commander Han shouted loudly: "Mayor Li, take care too!" The affairs of the wounded are entrusted to you! ”

Nodding his head heavily, Li Million shouted: "Brigade Commander Han, don't worry!" As long as I have a breath of air, nothing is wrong with the wounded! ”

Brigade Commander Han shouted repeatedly: "Please, please!"

Subsequently, Li Million beckoned his family members to escort the wounded soldiers to the mountains!

Looking at the distant backs of the villagers, Brigade Commander Han raised his voice and shouted: "Guard platoon, follow Lao Tzu to block the devil!"

The soldiers of the guard platoon responded in unison: "Yes!"

The next moment, Brigade Commander Han led the guard platoon to advance in the opposite direction to the common people, and quickly rushed to the walled position of Xitang Town.

It's a death retrograde.

Because 800 meters away from the walled position, thousands of devil soldiers were holding up bright bayonets and suppressing Xitang.
