The first battle on the 20th came to an end, and as soon as the battle ended, Zhang Wei received a telegram from Deng Junlin in the command post.

Next to the command post, Zhang Wei read the hot telegram.

The telegram was brief, full of wartime briefness and haste, to the effect that the position had been constructed and that it was possible to retreat and lead the Japanese Takeda Brigade into an ambush.

For Zhang Wei and the defenders of the second-line position, this is absolutely good news, although the Japanese Takeda Brigade against him has been beaten several times, but after all, it is a brigade, an infantry brigade with artillery and heavy machine guns, not to mention that it has also received more than a squadron of cutting-edge reinforcements.

In the field, the unit that can confront an infantry division of the national army, even if it is flattened by himself a few times, Zhang Wei does not want to consume too much in the confrontation with them before the ambush.

Zhang Wei roughly estimated that after the Takeda Brigade received reinforcements, the losses of the combat soldiers should have been replenished.

In other words, although the Takeda Brigade has suffered a lot of losses in fighting with itself so many times, the overall combat strength of an infantry brigade has not suffered much.

The ambush position behind has been constructed, but the troops cannot be pulled back immediately, and now they are still in a state of confrontation, and they retreat rashly, and the Japanese army may suspect it, and maybe they will send people to pursue it, and then it will be troublesome, and they can't get rid of it, and they can't run away, and the ambush is just empty talk.

"Come on, go find the friendly battalion commander Zhou!"

Zhang Wei said to the herald.

There was also a battalion of friendly troops on the right side of the position, and the two armies were defending the same position, and they were all one, and the matter of retreat had to be discussed.

Zhou Pu, the commander of the first battalion of the 65th Regiment, came very quickly, and when the Takeda Brigade attacked the teaching brigade, he only monitored the Zhou Pu battalion, and the hundreds of people in the Zhou Pu battalion witnessed the whole process of the battle.

When Zhou Pu learned that a telegram was coming from behind, he was also anxious, so he took a few soldiers and hurriedly rushed from the position on the right to the position of the teaching brigade on the left.

Zhou Pu came, Zhang Wei first briefly explained the battle just now, and then told Zhou Pu the information brought by the Takeda Brigade and the engineer platoon, and gave him a lesson, after all, the intelligence brought back by the engineer platoon, Zhang Wei did not fully inform Zhou Pu just now.

"Brother Zhou, this retreat, our two families have to discuss it, what can you do?"

Zhang Wei asked Zhou Pu, who had a solemn face, and Zhou Pu was obviously still digesting the newly learned battlefield information.

Zhou Pu said: "Captain Zhang, if the Japanese army that is fighting with us has been reinforced, the soldiers of our two battalions (brigades) will definitely be pursued, and if they want to drag them into the ambush position, they must not only keep in contact, but also not too close, this matter is difficult to do." ”

Zhou Pu is right, these two battalions, more than 1,000 people, is it easy to retreat?

And if you look farther away, there are still a large number of Japanese reinforcements behind the Takeda Brigade, Zhang Wei doesn't think that the engineer platoon can block thousands of people for a few days by bombing the road.

The retreat was not fast, and it dragged on for a long time, and if the main force of the Japanese reinforcements behind and the Takeda Brigade converged, not only would the ambush be in vain, but self-protection would be a problem.

"Battalion Commander Zhou, how is the battle damage of your battalion?" Zhang Wei asked.

"One company is disabled, and the other two companies are fine." Zhou Pu answered honestly, although it was the same level, the teaching brigade was one level higher than his infantry battalion, and the radio station was here in the teaching brigade, which was equivalent to mastering the right to speak and becoming the backbone, Zhou Pu knew it.

Zhang Wei thought about it, it was impossible for the two units to withdraw together, the target of more than 1,000 people was too big, so simply one of them withdrew first and the other delayed for a while, so as to maintain contact and achieve the goal of retreating.

Zhang Wei said: "It's better to be like this, since one company of your battalion has been disabled, then retreat first, and our brigade will hold up for a while, keep in touch with the Japanese army, and retreat later." ”

Zhou Pu nodded, the military situation was very urgent, he thought about it, and this method was reliable, and it was not even thought about withdrawing together, more than a thousand people were making a fuss, and it was not a unit of the same formation, just waiting for the Japanese army to fight.

"It's feasible, but as soon as our battalion withdraws, the position on the right side of the road will be unguarded, and if the Japanese army takes advantage of the situation to break through from the right side of the position after our battalion leaves, your brigade will not be able to deal with it."

Zhang Wei: "I'll send someone to take over!"

"Good!"

…… In the final finalized plan, Zhou Pu's battalion retreated first, leaving the right position, Zhang Wei was ready to let the third squadron of the teaching brigade make up for it, so that there were troops on the right side of the position, and an infantry squadron was enough, and it was no problem to prevent the attack of the Takeda brigade.

In this way, Zhang Wei finalized and implemented the plan with Zhou Pu in less than ten minutes, Zhou Pu rushed back, and the retreat of a battalion was not just a matter of talking, now it can be said that every second counts.

The second-line trenches and the command post are close, Zhang Wei immediately called Zheng Yiqun over, the first and second squadrons are on the first line, and it is inconvenient not to move, after all, there has just been a fierce battle, and the first and second squadrons do not need to move, so they can only move the most idle third squadron.

When Zheng Yiqun learned that there was an order, he immediately ran over, and he seemed to be holding back his strength before the third squadron was fighting.

"Zheng Yi*** gives you a task, the friendly troops are going to withdraw, your squadron will give me a top, and then bring two heavy machine guns from the heavy fire squadron to prevent the Japanese from raiding." Zhang Wei got straight to the point and gave the order directly.

Zheng Yiqun was shocked by the news of the retreat of the friendly forces, and originally thought that Zhang Wei had sent him a task such as a forward search and attack, but he didn't want him to take over the defense, so he was stunned there.

“………… Pick-up?"

Zhang Wei threw the telegram over.

"Look at it yourself, it's time to leave, the friendly troops will go first, there can be no weak points in the defense on the right, and your squadron will go to fill the gap."

Zheng Yiqun only knew that he was going to retreat after reading the telegram, and generally understood what Zhang Wei meant.

"Yes, Captain, but if the Japanese attack by surprise, will we fight to the death, or will we prepare to retreat and make a false shot? What should my third squadron do when it retreats?"

Zheng Yiqun knows that this teaching brigade will also retreat, so how to fight? The intensity of the fight had to be carefully considered, his third squadron was alone on the right side of the road, and the brigade also needed to be notified and contacted when retreating.

Zhang Wei said: "As long as we ensure that the position on the right side is in our hands, don't play with your life, before the brigade retreats, I will send someone to inform you, you just need to take your people to defend it for me, understand?"

"The first and second squadrons are not bad, and your third squadron has not been in a big battle, so you can't fall into the game!"

Zhang Wei's words also aroused Zheng Yiqun's heart.

"Don't worry, captain, my third squadron is here, and the Japanese army won't come!"
