The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ruined Jiujiang City, with a hint of ruined scenery, Su Jin stood on a position in the north of the city accompanied by Li Wei and several staff officers and guards, looking at the soldiers who were busy digging trenches not far away, his brows frowned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he was thinking about something, Li Wei and the officers around him didn't dare to disturb him, but just quietly stayed aside.

After a long time, Su Jin finally moved, and he asked lightly, "Is there any news about Fred's armored regiment?" ”

A staff officer behind him replied: "Sir, ten minutes ago the armored regiment called, they have withdrawn to Guzikou, thirty kilometers away from the south of the city, to rest, from the battle report sent back by the armored regiment, their results are very brilliant, not only defeated the cavalry wing of the third division, but also caused heavy losses to the fifth brigade, it is estimated that at least 7,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded. ”

"Hmm!" Su Jin replied noncommittally, and then asked, "What about the casualties of the armored regiment?" ”

"The casualties of the armored regiment were not large, they lost a total of four tanks No. 4 and a Bobcat reconnaissance tank and less than sixty infantry and armored troops, and those damaged tanks have been towed back with battlefield repair vehicles, as long as they are repaired, they can be returned to the battlefield!" The staff officer replied with a look of joy on his face, and the officers around him also showed shocked and excited expressions, the results of the armored regiment were really beyond their expectations.

"Huh......" Su Jin sighed, "That's good, I'm still worried that the armored regiment's first battle will have too many casualties, which will have an impact on the next stage of the battle." Hey...... Li Wei: What kind of expression is this? ”

"Ah...... Uh, no...... No! ”

Li Wei, who was still immersed in the achievements of the armored regiment, came back to his senses. wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with some embarrassment: "Shizao, I didn't expect that armored regiment to be so powerful." Can you also have a regiment for our brigade, with this thing, it will be much easier to fight this time! ”

Looking at Li Wei's longing expression, Su Jin smiled: "You kid, do you know how much effort I put into forming this armored regiment?" As soon as you open your mouth, it's a ball, you really dare to open your mouth! ”

Li Wei was anxious: "Master...... There is not a regiment or a battalion...... Even if it's a company! ”

"No way!" Su Jin shook his head: "The tank has to form a scale to be powerful, and its power will be greatly weakened after it is dispersed, and the armored forces are not without natural enemies, and when the Japanese wake up, their aviation will be dispatched." At that time, it is difficult to say whether the armored regiment will be able to exert its due power. ”

Speaking of this, Su Jin sighed lightly. No air supremacy is his biggest shortcoming now, don't look at this time Fred and Adele's father and daughter led the armored regiment to kill the Japanese Fifth Brigade retreating one after another. Once the Japanese reported and sent their planes, it was difficult to say what the armored regiment would leave in the future.

To tell the truth, Su Jin, who came from later generations, is probably the person who understands the power of the air force the most in this era, but it is even more difficult to form an air force than to form an armored force. This requires more than just skilled pilots. It also requires a large number of skilled ground staff and airports, and this requires Su Jin to have a fixed site that is in charge of him, which is the most difficult thing to do.

Forget it, no matter what. Su Jin shook his head, putting these troublesome things behind him for the time being.

After a while, Li Wei couldn't help but ask: "Shizao, if the 74th Army really doesn't arrive tomorrow, do we really have to retreat?" ”

Su Jin asked silently, "What?" Don't dare to retreat? ”

"It's not that I don't dare!" Li Wei scratched his head and said, "It's just that Jiujiang was fought hard by the brothers, in order to defeat Jiujiang City." We have killed and wounded many brothers, and I am not willing to give it to the Japanese so easily! ”

"What if you are unwilling?" Su Jin let out a long sigh. "How can I be willing, it's just that we have so much family background, but you ask yourself, can you hold Jiujiang with your 348th Brigade?"

"Division, isn't there still a supplementary brigade and armored regiment of Zhang Danian's kid?" Li Wei was unconvinced: "With the troops we have in our hands, I can let the Japanese plant a big heel here!" ”

"What about after planting?" Su Jin asked coldly, "How many people are left?" If we join the Japanese and increase our troops again, can we hold Jiujiang? If Jiujiang can't stand it and the Japanese take advantage of the situation to hit Nanchang, what should we do? If the losses of the 202nd Division are too great, and the Ministry of Military Affairs takes the opportunity to cancel our establishment, what should we do? Do you want to go back to Erlong Mountain to do our old job as a beard? ”

"This ......"

When Su Jin asked him like this, Li Wei suddenly became dumb.

Seeing Li Wei's speechless appearance, Su Jin softened his tone: "Weizi, now we are no longer the hundreds of people in Erlong Mountain, just find a mountain and let the brothers eat for a few months by blocking the passing merchants, but now there are tens of thousands of people who follow me to eat, what if the 202nd Division collapses more than 20,000 brothers?" Who will take care of the families of those brothers who died in the war in the past, and count on those officials and masters of the Ministry of Military Affairs? ”

Hearing Su Jin rarely call his family Weizi, Li Wei's heart warmed, and a trace of shame appeared on his face, "Brother Su, I'm sorry...... I...... It's me who didn't think it through and made it difficult for you. ”

Su Jin smiled faintly, he didn't speak, but after Li Wei's shoulder was patted heavily, he walked forward without saying a word, looking at the valley not far away, silent.

At this moment, a major hurriedly ran over and said a few words in Li Wei's ear, and Li Wei's face suddenly became a little cloudy.

"Weizi, what's wrong?" Su Jin's afterglow saw all this in his eyes, and he asked with some curiosity.

Li Weiyi gritted his teeth and said, "Master, do you remember the dog baby?" ”

"Dog?" Su Jin was stunned, his mind spun for a moment, and only then did a thin young man and that timid and fearful appearance appear in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "Remember...... Isn't he the same little guy who followed us for a long time? ”

Seeing Su Jin recall, Li Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "Shizuo, don't underestimate him, he is now a company commander under my command, this kid is very brave in war now, if it weren't for his poor culture, he would have been promoted to battalion commander a long time ago." ”

"Well, what's wrong with him now?" Su Jin asked again.

"He was ordered to go out the day before yesterday to build a prominent point, but today he was surrounded by a cavalry brigade of devils in Xikou Village. Although they used the equipment to catch the devil by surprise and eliminated hundreds of people on the other side, they were also surrounded and could not be withdrawn, I was worried that once the devil's reinforcements arrived, they would be in danger, and now I am planning to send someone to pick them up. ”

Su Jin thought for a while, "It's too dangerous for the infantry to pick them up, but the devil is a cavalry, so it's not good to be caught flying a kite by them." Let the armored **** army pass, the speed must be fast, otherwise I am afraid that they will be in danger! (To be continued.) )
