At one o'clock in the evening, the communications platoon received a call from Xie Jinyuan, the commander of the 524th Regiment, informing him that the independent battalion of the 88th Division could be transferred. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Fei received Fang Min's report and immediately issued an order.

"One company, two companies, and four companies alternately covered the retreat, and the communications platoon, the cooking platoon, the heavy machine gun platoon, and the artillery platoon followed." Chen Fei said to Fang Min.

"Three companies and sharpshooter platoons cover each company." Chen Fei thought for a while.

"Order the reconnaissance platoon to set off immediately, aiming at the Golden Silk Niangniang Temple in Kunshan. When the companies arrived at their destinations, they were deployed on the spot. Let's get started! Chen Fei looked at Fang Min and said.

"Yes!" Fang Min also looked at Chen Fei and said silently.

At 1:20, the troops began to retreat as planned, because it was dark Chen Fei ordered the whole battalion to act quickly and agilely with chopsticks, all of which were forbidden by the orders of veterans, and the action efficiency of the independent battalion was very high, and the companies cooperated tacitly.

By the time the day dawned, the independent battalion had already appeared on SH's avenue to Kunshan.

The road was full of equipment discarded by various troops, and the old steamed bun wanted to pick it up, but Chen Fei saw it: "Except for weapons and ammunition, don't eat anything, pay attention to the speed of the march." ”

Chen Fei thought that the speed of the Japanese army's march was also very fast, especially the infiltration troops, if the two teams met, they were not afraid, they were afraid of blocking the speed of the march and being caught up by the Japanese army.

What you need now is time, as long as you arrive in Suzhou, you can feel at ease.

The independent battalion arrived at its destination at 11 o'clock, located at the Golden Silk Niangniang Temple on the edge of Kunshan to Suzhou Avenue.

Chen Fei gave a rest order: "The troops will rest for 30 minutes, and each cooking class will make something to eat." Ding three platoons are on guard. ”

Lao Mantou and Lao Zhangtou gathered the cooking class together and made several large pots of multigrain rice

Chen Fei saw that there was not enough time and delayed for another 15 minutes, because there was still a long way to go, and the soldiers had to be fed.

Fang Min took the rice from Lao Zhang's head and came to Chen Fei and said, "Battalion commander, your rice." ”

"Oh, thank you! You also eat more, there is still a long way to go. Chen Fei said.

At this time, Lao Zhangtou also came over and held a large pot of pickles: "Sir, I will order it!" ”

"It's okay, I love pickles." Chen Fei gulped down.

Fang Min secretly said in his heart: This is a real manly man, who can bend and stretch. Thinking about it, his face turned crimson.

Chen Fei called Liu Meng of the reconnaissance platoon over, and said while eating: "You have to work hard all the way, your platoon plays the front and opens the way for the whole battalion." ”

"Yes, who called them reconnaissance platoons!" Platoon Commander Liu said with a smile.

Chen Fei likes this kind of soldier, and he is happy in any environment.

"Okay, pay attention to the situation on the road and lead the way." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Platoon said.

Suddenly, gunshots were heard on the side of the road ahead.

"The voice of the three-eight big cover." Tang Bing said.

"Liu Meng will take people to take a look, and each company will be on guard!" Chen Fei sat up and said.

After a while, Liu Meng brought someone back: "Report!" The battalion commander, several of the routs were buying weapons for the people on the road, testing guns. ”

"Zhao Liu, arrest them all!" Chen Fei said.

Zhao Liu hurried with three companies.

Chen Fei said to the mouse: "Notify each one for 15 minutes, start the dial as soon as it arrives, and the action is fast!" ”

There were a few gunshots in the distance, and it was probably Zhao Liu who controlled the scene.

The independent battalion began to advance towards Suzhou and came to the front trading office. I saw 6 people who looked like family members protecting an old man, and more than a dozen miscellaneous soldiers were squatting on the ground.

Zhao Liu saw Chen Fei coming over and said: "Report to the battalion commander, they are trading, the weapons are 5 38 big covers, 2 Czech light machine guns, 8 Zhongzheng rifles, 2 Hanyang-made, 2 boxes of grenades, as well as 300 oceans and 2 big yellow croaker." ”

"All confiscated." Chen Fei looked at the squatting human.

"Sir! Sir! We are the security team in the town in front, and I heard that the devil is coming, so I bought weapons to defend myself. The old man hurriedly stood up and spoke.

Chen Fei looked at him and said to Zhao Liu: "What's the matter with these soldiers?" ”

"It's all your troops who retreated, saying that they wanted to get some plates to get back to GZ Zhao Liudao.

Chen Fei walked in front of the rout: "Follow me to fight devils!" ”

More than thirty defeated soldiers raised their heads and looked at the young commander, and a squad leader said: "Sir, we also want to fight the devils, but the troops have broken up the devils." The chief is also dead, and we don't know what to do, so we sold guns to get some money and went home, we were originally here to fight devils, and we are willing to follow the chief! ”

"Zhao Liu, divide them into companies." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Liudao.

"Arise, all of you. The money is confiscated, you can't take away machine guns and grenades, take away all the rifles! Chen Fei looked at these ordinary people and said.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

At this time, the front scout reported: "Report to the battalion commander, a group of Japanese troops was found in the bamboo forest ahead, about 200 people, it should be an infiltration unit, and they are resting." ”

"Mouse, get the four company commanders and the old gun, quick!" Chen Fei said.

The company commanders and the old guns will arrive in a moment.

Chen Fei took the four company commanders to the bamboo forest, Chen Fei took the telescope and looked at the distance, a squadron, preparing to eat, casually handed the telescope to the company commanders, so that they could also familiarize themselves with the terrain.

"The first company is eastern, the second company is western, the third company is south, and the fourth company is north, surround the Japanese army, and charge as soon as the artillery platoon of the old guns stops, the old rules, submachine guns, light machine guns hit the head."

"Yes! Be! Be! The company commanders said, turned around and began to act.

"Mouse, the heavy machine-gun position called the Bison is ambushed on that small slope." Charge with a finger.

"Yes!" The rat turned and went.

"Old gun, you are preparing on the side of the road, look at my gestures, go and arrange it!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The old guns also went.

After ten minutes of preparation, Chen Fei kept an eye on the movements of the Japanese army with a telescope, and the Japanese soldiers began to eat, and they were all queuing up to receive rice balls.

Chen Fei waved his hand at the old gun.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Tom! Tong! Tong! ”

In an instant, the Japanese army was blown to pieces, and the Japanese army could not raise its head after 5 minutes of shelling.

As soon as the shelling stopped, separate battalions from all sides began to charge.

The independent battalion still threw grenades first, and was bombed by grenades just after the shelling, and immediately couldn't resist it, and the rest of the Japanese troops charged in all directions.

The Bison's heavy machine guns came at them, and the Japanese were knocked out one after another. Four companies of submachine guns and light machine guns also fought with the Japanese.

A battle with a huge disparity is over in 30 minutes.

"The rat told the companies not to take prisoners, clean up the battlefield quickly, and move quickly!" Chen Fei said.

The independent battalion spent 50 minutes on this battle, and Chen Fei was relatively satisfied. It has well implemented Chen Fei's tactical thinking: tacit understanding! At the same time, it also reflects the stability of the troops! Permit! Vicious!

Lao Mantou and Lao Zhangtou happily cleaned the battlefield. The separate battalion had three wagons that were fully loaded.

After another night of rapid marching, the troops were extremely tired, and they were not far from Suzhou.

There were also a large number of refugees and routs on the road, as long as the independent battalion was neatly marching towards Suzhou, but the commanders of each unit also kept recruiting veterans who were considered bloody.

When the troops arrived in Suzhou, Chen Fei camped the troops on the edge of Taihu Lake and let the troops wash and repair.

"Tang Bing took someone to the city to take a look at the situation." Chen Fei said to Tang Bing.

"Yes!" After Tang Bing returned, he turned around and took three soldiers to the city.

Chen Fei investigated in the camp, and the companies and platoons were seriously overstaffed, and the strength of the whole battalion was nearly 1,000.

An hour and a half later, Tang Bing returned, and the situation in Suzhou was probably one word: "chaos!" "All the troops were withdrawn to Suzhou, and the 88th Division had a contact point to inform the division's subordinate units to go to Changzhou to replenish their troops.

When the independent battalion received the order, it also went to Changzhou to rendezvous with the division headquarters to replenish the supply of troops.

Chen Fei thought about it and ordered the troops to rest in place and wait until it was dark before marching to Changzhou, Chen Fei thought that the daytime march was easy to be attacked by Japanese planes, and said that the troops also needed to rest.

"Old steamed buns, you go get some food or something, it's not easy to replenish this way, Suzhou is a city after all, and you can buy food if you have money." Chen Fei said to the old steamed bun.

"Okay, I'll take a look!" The old steamed bun took three warriors and drove away in a carriage. After everything was arranged, Chen Fei walked to the lake, looked relatively clean grass, picked up the quilt, and fell asleep.

Chen Fei woke up at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and just after washing, the platoon commander came over and said, "Battalion commander, eat something!" "Took out a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of white rice.

"Thanks, I'm so hungry!" Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Is the old steamed bun back?" Chen Fei said again.

"I'm back, and I've bought a big cart of grain!" Fang Min said.

After eating, Chen Fei began to check the situation of each company, most of the soldiers woke up, chatted together, bragged and farted, and got up and saluted when they saw Chen Fei coming.

"Mouse, call the platoon commanders of each company!" Chen Fei said.

Each company came to the grass where Chen Fei was sitting and formed a circle.

"As soon as it gets dark, set off, and all companies and platoons must be ready to fight at any time!" Chen Fei said.

"The marching formation is still the reconnaissance platoon forward, the first and second companies follow up, the heavy machine gun platoon, the communication platoon, the cooking platoon are in the center, the third or fourth company is pressed, and finally Ding San's sharpshooter platoon. Pay attention to safety on the night march, now our battalion is strong and strong, but we still have to be cautious, you have any questions to raise now. Chen Fei looked at everyone, took out their cigarettes, and smoked them himself.

After a while, Chen Fei saw that each company and platoon had no opinions, and then said: "Each company is now overstaffed, and the run-in between the soldiers is very important, I hope that they will all be taken to heart, so be it!" Scattered! ”

In the evening, the independent battalion began to set off, and as soon as it set off, Platoon Commander Liu ran back and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, this road can't be walked, the main road is full of troops from all walks of life, and our battalion is easy to be scattered by other troops." ”

It turned out that the troops thought the same as Chen Fei.

"Is there any other way?" Chen Fei asked.

"I don't know, I'm not a local, and I used to take this road when I went to Nanjing." Liu Platoon said.

This made Chen Fei's heart tremble, what should I do? Time waits for no one, and the Japanese army will soon attack Suzhou.

"You go and ask the brothers of the company, maybe you know Xiaolu to go to Changzhou." Chen Fei said.

"Good! Just ask. Liu Platoon said.

At this time, Niu Tou came over and said: "I know the road, I used to help the Chamber of Commerce collect grain, transport goods or something, and I am familiar with all the small roads around Nanjing." ”

Chen Fei was happy when he heard that: "Quick! Fast! You go to the reconnaissance platoon to lead the way, it must be easy to walk, and it must be safe. ”

"Yes!" Niu Tian replied and went with Platoon Leader Liu.

Chen Fei sighed and said secretly: It's okay, otherwise what can I do?

After a night of safe marching, the troops were approaching Wuxi.

"Don't stop, troops. Make arrangements after passing through Wuxi. Chen Fei said to the mouse.

"Yes!" The rat quickly informed the companies that they had gone.

At noon, when the troops passed Wuxi, Chen Fei saw that the soldiers were tired and arranged camping.

Within ten minutes of camping, Fang Min hurriedly walked over and said to Chen Fei: "Battalion commander, I just received an order from the division headquarters to let us go to Changshu and Fushan Town. ”

"Ahh To Fushan, this is to guard the Wufu line. Chen Fei said in surprise.

"Call back, rush to Fushan Town immediately." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Fang Min turned around and left.

Chen Fei called Niu Tian and said, "Do you know the way to Changshu?" ”

"You know, it's not far from Changshu, and it's only two days away." Niu Tiandao.

"Good! We are now going to Fushan Town in Changshu, and when the troops are leaving, you will lead the whole battalion to Fushan. Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Niu Tian replied.

As soon as the night was dark, the troops set off for the town of Fukuyama.

In the middle of the night, when the troops were marching, there were suddenly dense gunfire and the sound of 38 big covers, Hanyang-made, shell guns, and crooked light machine guns.

The independent battalion began to spread its vigilance, and after a while, Platoon Commander Liu ran over and said to Chen Fei: "Battalion commander, there are two groups of people fighting in front, it is dark, and it is not clear to see, there are about 200 people. ”

"Listen to the sound of the firepower of the Japanese squad, so Tang Bing, Xiao Kai, Ding San, you go around to see the situation, if it is the Japanese army, kill him." Chen Fei said.

"Yes! Be! Be! The three of them replied, and immediately each led his troops forward.

After a while, the sound of grenadiers also came, and Chen Fei immediately understood that it must be the Japanese infiltration troops and the local armed forces that were on fire.

"Old guns, bison are all up." Chen Fei said.

"Yes! Be! And they took them up.

Chen Fei led the guard platoon to move forward, and the third and fourth companies also began to move in the direction of the gunfire.

Tang Bing also understood people, and as soon as he saw it, he and Xiao Kai immediately attacked from the back of the Japanese squad.

This Japanese detachment of about 60 people was quickly attacked on both sides, but still wanted to desperately break through.

As soon as the Bison's heavy machine gun platoon arrived, they quickly understood the direction of the Tang soldiers' attack, and fired at the Japanese troops who broke through, and although the Japanese troops resisted desperately, they were quickly routed by the independent battalion.

The old gun arrived and fired a round of grenadiers.

Tang Bing and Xiao Kai directly attacked the Japanese army together.

"Don't take prisoners, move fast!" Tang Bing shouted.

In an instant, the Japanese army was completely annihilated.

"Which unit is ahead?" Xiao Kai shouted.

"Where are you?" The front also shouted.

"Independent Battalion of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army!" Xiao Kai replied.

When I heard the voice in front, I didn't come out immediately, and I waited for a few minutes before two people came out.

Tang Bing stepped forward and said, "Which army are you from?" ”

"We are partisans." A big Han road.

"Guerrillas, you have a kind." Xiao Kai said with a smile.

At this time, all the guerrillas stood up, about 100 people, all holding Hanyang. Barge guns, even big knives, and spears, Tang Bing Xiao Kai was taken aback.

A female guerrilla member came out and said, "Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, we would be in danger, I am Mei Ying, the political commissar of the Huiling guerrillas." Mei Ying said.

"Commissar? Are you part of the Communist Party? Tang Bing asked.

"Yes!" Mei Yingdao.

"Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating, we are also part of the anti-Japanese resistance." Mei Ying said again.

"Oh! Oh! You guys are so brave! Xiao Kaidao.
