"Telegram: Captain Toshiro Nishimura.

The original plan changed, and the main force of the 424th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the emptiness of the county to attack. The combat effectiveness of the security regiment of Fan Jianwen's department was low, and it was not enough to be the Eighth Route Army, Lingqiu City was broken, and the barracks of our army brigade were besieged. The remnants retreated to the arsenal.

As the left-behind chief, Nishio Akira was stupid and incompetent, which led to the loss of the county seat, although he still died in death! I hereby swear to live and die with the barracks!

I just ask the captain of the West Village to return to Lingqiu County, and the imperial kingdom will rise and fall, in one fell swoop! Long live the Great Japanese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!

Chief of Staff Akira Nishio is unavoidable. ”

……

The battalion that was sticking to the Buddha Ridge naturally did not know that Nishimura had received such a telegram just now.

After the signal soldier translated this telegram, he handed it to Nishimura with his head down, because he really couldn't imagine what kind of face Nishimura had, and that kind of beast-like gaze was definitely not something that a small soldier like him could look at!

“……”

It turned out to be a surprise to the signal soldiers, Nishimura did not yell in anger as he thought, nor did he scold and beat anyone. Just glanced coldly at the first battalion on the mountain.

"Retreat."

“？？？”

All the officers around Nishimura were stunned at the time, looking at Nishimura in disbelief, and they didn't understand why Nishimura would give such an order.

"Captain, is there something wrong?"

Che Wanji, who was deliberately left by Nishimura's side, asked cautiously, Nishimura turned his head and looked at him silently, and raised his leg to kick Cha Wanji to the ground.

"Bang!"

"Ah!!h

With a heart-rending scream, Nishimura pulled the Wangba box in his hand, leaving an egg-sized hole in his leg.

"It's all because of your incompetence! led to today's situation! Your plan didn't work at all! The Empire has suffered a great loss because of you! ”

Nishimura's sudden frenzy silenced all the officers around him.

"Let's all take a look!"

Nishimura handed the telegram in his hand to the officers to circulate it, and when these officers saw that the county town was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, everyone's faces changed drastically. If the county seat is lost, they will become a tree without roots. Although it is said that this time the troops were dispatched, Nishimura brought all the logistics troops, and at the same time a large amount of military rations and ammunition.

But if they can't get back the county seat, it means that the West Village Brigade will lose a lot of supplies, and at the same time, they will also lose the occupied territory of Lingqiu, and at that time, even if their West Village Brigade from the captain to the soldiers are disemboweled, it will not be enough to make up for the mistakes made today!

"Captain, all this is a mistake by the Zhang family to transmit information......"

Cha Wanji didn't dare to say anything more, at the moment he only begged himself that Nishimura would not kill him, and now he understood that when dealing with the Japanese, if he didn't have enough strength in his hands, then everything would be in vain!

"Captain, even if you kill him at this time, it won't help, let's hurry back to the county seat!"

A staff officer beside Nishimura said tentatively, Nishimura was speechless when he heard this, and finally let out a heavy breath.

"Alright! Go back to the county seat! ”

His eyes glanced at Che Wanji coldly, and Nishimura ignored him anymore. In any case, when the brigade had just entered Lingqiu, it was thanks to Fan Jianwen and the Che family that the mood of the local family in Lingqiu was stabilized. Two Japanese soldiers were arranged to carry Che Wanji on stretchers.

Watching the encirclement of the Nishimura brigade gradually lifted, he retreated while on guard. Bai Lin's eyes narrowed.

"Little devils, what are they going to do? Why was the encirclement suddenly lifted? What is the purpose? ”

Just when Bai Lin was asking, there was a sudden chaos behind him, and Bai Lin turned around sharply.

"Battalion...... Long ......"

After Bai Lin turned around and looked over, he saw a few warriors floating up from the eastern slope of Buddha Ridge, this person Bai Lin was still a little stunned at first glance, and after looking at it a few times, he exclaimed and said.

"Four! How did you get up from there! ”

This soldier of the Eighth Route Army, who climbed up from the eastern slope of Foye Ridge, was one of the communicators sent out by the first battalion before: Cao Xiaosi.

Bai Lin didn't recognize Xiao Si at first glance because Cao Xiaosi's current appearance looked too miserable, there was hardly a complete piece of fabric on his body, and his clothes were scraped into pieces. And there were scratches on his arms and neck.

"Battalion commander, after we came back from the regiment headquarters with news, we were supposed to go back to Baiyatai to report to you, but when we arrived here at Foye Ridge, we heard gunshots and guessed that you might have come here with the team. So we rushed over, but then we ran into a squad of devils. At last...... In the end, I was the only one who survived. ”

When he said this, Si'er spoke with a crying tone. Bai Lin and the other soldiers of the first battalion did not speak, Xiao Si was still just a child in their eyes, just quietly waiting for his next step.

"I was the only one in the correspondence class who survived, and I would have come from the western slope normally. But it was full of devils, and it was impossible for me to come up, so I had to go up the mountain from the eastern slope and leave my decision from the regimental headquarters to you. ”

Hearing Xiao Si say this, Bai Lin and Di Hanming both became energetic.

"As soon as the devils in the county town were dispatched, the deputy head already knew about it, but it was only later that I learned that the devils came to Baiyatai. When we arrived at the regiment headquarters, the deputy regiment commander was in a meeting with the cadres of the regiment headquarters to discuss how to deal with the situation.

Just when the deputy head of the regiment decided to carry out the rescue, the commander of the regiment sent an order from Lingqiu County. Let the deputy regiment commander lead the main force to attack Lingqiu County, and at the same time let our battalion adapt to the situation. ”

“……”

Bai Lin and Di Hanming were speechless, they really didn't expect Si'er to bring back such an order from the regiment headquarters.

"Si'er, what you said is true?! The regiment commander is in Lingqiu County, how can he spread the news to the regiment headquarters?! ”

Bai Lin looked at Xiao Si seriously, just because what the other party said was too exaggerated, and the most important thing was that only Xiao Si, a communicator, came back, and he couldn't help but make him suspicious.

"Battalion commander, I swear what I say is true. This is a warrant written by the deputy head of the regiment himself! ”

Xiao Si said as he took out a crumpled warrant from his close-fitting clothes. After reading the signature on this warrant, Bai Lin was relieved, but he still didn't understand how Yue Siliang was in Lingqiu County to spread the news to Wuguliang.

In the end, it was Di Hanming who solved this question for Bai Lin.

"The regiment commander took the guard platoon with him this morning, and now a new person has been recruited in the guard platoon, named Cheng Fei. This kid was a telegraph operator sent by the division a week ago. ”

Bai Lin suddenly realized what was going on, but then he and Di Hanming realized that something was wrong. It seems that Yue Siliang should have issued an order through a telegram, but from common sense, he would definitely not have walked into the telegraph office and sent a telegram like an ordinary person.

According to Yue Siliang's style of acting, the current Lingqiu County is probably already turned upside down!

"Commissar, what should we do?"

Bai Lin was very relieved at this time, although he had said that he had already held the idea of fighting with the enemy, but if the regimental headquarters really gave up on them, he would still have a trace of regret in his heart. Now it seems that the regiment has chosen a more ingenious and at the same time more dangerous way to relieve them than direct rescue.

A regiment of the Eighth Route Army recaptured a county town from the hands of devils, which is not a trivial matter. If they don't get it right, the enemy they will face in the future will definitely not be as simple as a Nishimura brigade.

"I listen to you."

Di Hanming's answer was crisp and neat, and his attitude was very clear, that is, he would not interfere in specific combat affairs.

Bai Lin only hummed on the surface, but he put gratitude in his heart, even if he was a battalion commander, Di Hanming gave him enough freedom and respect in the military, no wonder he was able to cooperate with the regiment commander so happily.

"Zhang Chi, bring the map!"

Putting the map on the ground, Bai Lin narrowed his eyes and watched.

"From here to the county seat, there are two suitable roads, one in the upper north depression and the other in the lower north depression. But no matter which way you go, the devil must cross the river! If I'm right, the devil will definitely walk closer and the bridge will be wider on the North Depression. In this case, let's go on the road of Beiwa!

Order everyone, on the basis of the original, throw away all baggage! Put down all the heavy machine guns and mortars! At the fastest speed, go around from Quanliang to Shangbeiwa! Cooperate with the head of the regiment and the devil to fight! ”

When Bai Lin said this, Di Hanming looked at him with some concern.

"Bai Lin, I'm just expressing my opinion. How can you be sure that the head of the regiment will definitely fight the devil when he returns to the county seat? What if the regimental commander decides to withdraw from the county? Isn't it too risky for you to give such an order now? Also, the road from Quanliang to Shangbeiwa is farther than that of the devil, will this cause a burden on the already extremely expensive soldiers? ”

Hearing Di Hanming's question, the corners of Bai Lin's mouth rose slightly.

"The regiment commander will definitely fight this battle, and I can even guess what kind of tactics the regiment commander intends to use against the devil!"
