Li Ziyuan ignored the rest of the cadres and soldiers who thought that he was seriously violating battlefield discipline by doing so. His attitude was extremely tough, and all the Japanese soldiers who were still gasping for breath had to make up for it. In other words, Li Ziyuan did this because he wanted to completely erase the Japanese advance team on the top of the mountain.

In the face of Li Ziyuan's tough attitude, the soldiers below didn't dare to say anything, so they could only follow his requirements. After all, Li Ziyuan is the military chief, and his position here is the highest. Strict obedience to orders on the battlefield is something that everyone understands. Despite the great dissent, Li Ziyuan's order was eventually carried out.

Although Ma Yongcheng didn't understand it, as an instructor, he should have more decision-making power in this matter, and he should even raise objections. When Li Ziyuan was dealing with the wounded captured Japanese soldiers, he remained extremely silent. Ma Yongcheng's choice of silence shows that he and Li Ziyuan will advance and retreat together.

It was only in accordance with the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army and the division of labor among the military and political commanders that Ma Yongcheng did not stop this matter, let alone express his opposition to this practice. Once he is stabbed, if his superiors chase him down, as an instructor and a political work chief, he will undoubtedly bear greater responsibility than Li Ziyuan, and he will also be punished more severely.

What does an instructor do, he is the chief officer of political work in a first-class combat unit. He needs to do the work not only of the cadres and soldiers below, but also the supervision of his own military commanders at the same level. If a military commander commits a serious breach of discipline and he is present and fails to stop it, it means that he is seriously derelict in his duties and may even lead to the destruction of his future.

Ma Yongcheng understood this truth, but he still didn't say anything. Although he did not agree with Li Ziyuan's approach, he knew that at this time when he needed to be in the same boat, Li Ziyuan, who was under greater pressure as a military commander, needed more support than disputes and quarrels, but more support from him, the political chief.

At the same time, Ma Yongcheng also understands the reason why Li Ziyuan insisted on doing so at the risk of violating discipline and even ruining his future. Not supporting it doesn't mean he doesn't understand, so he still decided to take the risk with Li Ziyuan in this matter. Even in this regard, as a political officer, he may be subject to more severe punishment.

Ma Yongcheng showed that he and Li Ziyuan were advancing and retreating together, but Li Ziyuan had already begun to think about what to do next. Just as the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, Li Ziyuan looked at the continuous explosion of shells and the dense gunfire at the pass, turned around and called out to his guards, asking him to go over immediately to see if the non-combatants over there had withdrawn.

Wait until you receive the news that all the non-combatants have been evacuated by this time. Li Ziyuan immediately led people to take advantage of the brief moment when the Japanese artillery fire subsided, rushed through the Japanese artillery blockade and rushed to the pass. Command your own troops, take over the reinforcements, which are mainly recruits, and let them evacuate immediately during the gap in artillery fire.

There is no way, at this time, Li Ziyuan can only take the only remaining old bones by his side. Now is indeed the time to retreat, but retreating on the battlefield, especially when there is still an absolute superiority of the Japanese army behind them, is likely to bite the bullet, it is often more important than attacking.

This new army is attacking and fighting like this, and Li Ziyuan does not dare to count on them at all when retreating now, and can use the terrain to cover the evacuation alternately. He didn't dare to risk that this army would retreat in droves, and that he would have no power to fight back in the face of the Japanese pursuit, and that he would have to turn around and come back to cover them when the time came.

And the strength in his hands now, if he relies on the favorable terrain, he may be able to withstand it for a while. If you encounter an enemy in the movement, you don't have the capital to compete at all, even if you want to break through, you don't have the ability. Looking at the only dozens of people left around him, Li Ziyuan finally chose to let his brother troops withdraw first.

The battalion commander, who knew the current situation of his troops very well, did not have any ambiguity when Li Ziyuan asked him to retreat first. After leaving the two platoons that had been handed over to Li Ziyuan, he took advantage of the short pause in Japanese artillery fire to evacuate the pass in the shortest possible time with the weapons and equipment that Li Ziyuan had handed over and captured.

Seeing the reinforcements go away, Li Ziyuan led his troops to continue at the pass, relying on the favorable terrain to block the Japanese army for a full hour, and then waited until it gradually got dark before fighting and retreating. After evacuating from the pass, Li Ziyuan did not go to the pass over there and left this mountain basin but directly led the troops up the mountain.

After Li Ziyuan took over the defense of the pass, he found that the Japanese army had reinforced thousands of Japanese troops and more than 200 puppet troops. If it weren't for the narrow terrain of the pass, it would have been quite advantageous for defense. As far as the comparison of the strength and firepower of the two sides is concerned, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it for an hour.

If he was bitten by this Japanese army, he would even join Wang Changfeng now. But after another hour of blocking battle, there were only more than 50 soldiers around him, and I am afraid that he would be dead and alive. Go up the mountain and follow the mountain towards the retreat. Although I am tired, at least I will not avoid the danger of being pursued by the Japanese army and even outflanked.

It's just that on the way to retreat, Li Ziyuan talked to Ma Yongcheng about what he had never figured out in his heart. After listening to Li Ziyuan's question, Ma Yongcheng pondered for a while, then said with a wry smile: "You said that you are shrewd and scary on the battlefield, how can you encounter other things, and you are so arrogant." ”

"You kid used the radical method to calculate others, but you didn't know that you were calculated by others. People are also from the battlefield, fighting with knives and guns. What has become of his troops, and what has become of combat effectiveness, can he not know? ”

"Does he want those weapons and equipment? Of course I wanted to. But the problem is that the combat effectiveness of his troops is limited, and it is definitely not possible to fight this kind of battle. The Japanese troops on the mountain are obviously struggling to the death, and this group of Japanese soldiers looks fat. Judging from the consistent behavior of the Japanese army, once they are in a favorable terrain or strong fortifications, they will definitely wait for reinforcements. ”

"The unfavorable terrain, coupled with the tenacity of the Japanese army, and the contrast of firepower and quality of soldiers with the Japanese army. Although the Japanese troops on the mountain seem to be small, they are actually a hard bone. Even if it was taken, one of his battalions would have to pay at least a third of the casualties. You are also a military cadre, and you know that such casualties mean a basic and complete defeat for a new army. ”

"This anti-sweeping operation is estimated to be the first operation since the formation of this unit. If it is defeated at the first attack, then this army will easily lose its will completely, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time. It is even possible that the number will be revoked by the superiors and the troops will be merged into other units that are more combative. ”

"The battalion commander saw this quite thoroughly. Rather than risk being completely defeated, it is better to hand over to you the battlefield that looks like fat but is actually a bone. Anyway, you are such a small person, even if you seize weapons and equipment, no one can take them away, you can only hand them over. ”

"And Lao Wang's side said to be honest, it was still unknown when the new reinforcements of the Japanese army would arrive. If the Japanese reinforcements fail to arrive before you can completely eliminate this remnant of the enemy, then it will naturally be a happy situation. ”

"Even if he arrived before the battle was settled, his troops would still have the ability to fight in a short period of time under the favorable terrain. After all, in a defensive battle with limited time, his troops can still hold out about it. He saw this very clearly. ”

"Who doesn't like to do this kind of thing that can be picked cheaply without gnawing bones? People are ostensibly stimulated by you, but in fact, they use this method to get rid of the most difficult problems. In the end, the benefits fall into their own hands, and the risks are minimized. ”

"That battalion commander is not a simple person, he can calculate so clearly in such a short period of time. You are calculating others, but in the end you are being calculated by others. How about it, in the end, it's not all the loot handed over to others? You can be regarded as a slippery person, but compared to this battalion commander, your brother is still a little too tender. ”

Hearing Ma Yongcheng's explanation, Li Ziyuan touched his head and couldn't help sighing: "Damn, I just said that the guy promised so happily at the time, and I felt that something was wrong there." I only knew when you said this that I was tricked by someone else in this matter, and I didn't react until now. ”

"I'll just say, they are all military cadres, and they are all fought on the battlefield. If others talk about me, I will definitely not be able to stand it. As far as those guys in our army are concerned, few of them can stand it. Even if this guy can bear it, he won't be so easy to talk to. Grandma's, I put a trap on someone else, and it was myself who got into the trap in the end. ”

"This work is all done by Lao Tzu, and in the end he picked up a big bargain. This guy is really fucking slippery, he can do everything but have a clear door, and he is bent on taking advantage and not suffering. Grandma's, next time I let Lao Tzu meet him, I definitely won't let this guy have a good time. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan, who looked aggrieved after turning the corner, Ma Yongcheng shook his head: "Okay, you don't suffer too much." If this guy is really provoked by you, given the situation of their troops, maybe we are still tugging at that hillside right now. We have very few old bones left, and the longer the battle drags on, the worse it actually will be for us. ”

"With a newly formed local armed force, when its combat effectiveness is far from being formed, it is difficult for a strong man to fight this kind of battle. And he was able to rush over to participate in the war under such a grim situation, which means that people still have a sense of the overall situation, at least they did not retreat at this time. Lao Li, there are some things we have to look at. ”

"He just did what was most beneficial to himself and his troops as a battalion commander when he could choose. If you don't get hit by your words, you hit the stone with an egg, which means that people's heads are still very clear. ”

"Besides, when people picked us up, he had actually completed the initial task assigned by his superiors. If you hadn't insisted on fighting, they would have retreated before. Although there is an order from the chief of staff, in the final analysis, it is still on us. From this point, we still have to get his affection. ”

"There are some things that you shouldn't be too harsh on. Everyone is a brother unit, maybe it doesn't work that day, and they will fight in a regiment. It's too stiff, and it's not good for us. This is over, and you don't want to hold on to someone's pigtails. ”
