Zhang Changde's keen sense of smell once again saved his life and his family's background, and before the national army led by Ou Shounian personally completed the blockade, he took his two brigades of puppet troops and the wounded in the two days of fighting, and took the lead in leaving Yangshupu and drove to Foziling early.

And after Yuji Honda found that he was besieged by the regiments, his heart was like ashes, and he led his troops to hold on for a while at first, but when he found that his troops were completely unable to stop the attack, he made what he thought was the wisest move: disembowelment!

However, the two captains under him, after he cut his abdomen, immediately organized the remaining troops, opened a gap, and escaped from the blocking position of the Ou Shou Nian Division.

After Commander Xu learned that there was a devil breaking through, he sighed, he originally arranged for the Ninth Regiment to block the escape route of the devil, but who knew that the troops of the 176th Division were already ready in the rear, in order to avoid the crime of sabotaging the united anti-Japanese war front, he had no choice but to let the Ninth Regiment come back, and gave the matter of blocking the back road to the regiment that Ou Shounian put together. Unexpectedly, after breaking the attack circle of the New Seventh Regiment, the few remaining hundreds of devils actually broke through the blocking position of the national army, and escaped in a grand manner.

Although the results of this central flowering battle were jaw-dropping, the price paid was also huge, the four companies of the Second Regiment plus the guard platoon and the artillery detachment of nearly 800 people, the remaining intact less than 100 people, in addition to the one or two hundred wounded, the second regiment killed more than 500 people, so to speak, the second regiment has been seriously injured, and the seventh regiment also killed and wounded two or three hundred people when it launched a charge against the devil with the troops of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, and Sun Yumin stayed in Yangshupu and Biandanshi's troops. Almost half of the troops were lost in this battle.

Even when Commander Xu saw such a cruel scene, he couldn't help but praise: "The troops brought out by Sun Yumin are really the Iron Army, if they are replaced by other national army troops, it is impossible to wait for the arrival of reinforcements." ”

Ou Shounian also came over, he originally wanted to comfort Liu Wenzhi, but when he saw that the people from the New Fourth Army were there, he didn't greet anyone, so he turned around and left. Liu Wenzhi and the fool didn't see him, and let him leave. The Huoshan Independent Detachment is now under the jurisdiction of the 21st Group Army, and the 176th Division is so close that it was not the first time to come to the rescue, but the New Fourth Army rushed to support overnight.

"What are you going to do now?" Commander Xu asked: "Before coming to the rescue here, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army sent us a telegram that the main force of the 13th Division of the devil has returned to Anhui, although their main target is the 21st Group Army, but this time we have inflicted heavy losses on the 65th Wing, with the character of the old devil in Tanaka, we will definitely not give up." ”

After Liu Wenzhi heard this, his body shook involuntarily, he knew that Commander Xu, who was the supreme commander of the four detachments, would never bluff him, and the devil would definitely not be willing to fail, not to mention that Yangshupu was no longer in danger to defend, and the current strength of the second and seventh regiments could not compete at all.

"I don't know what to do, I can't contact Commander Sun." Liu Wenzhi didn't hide it, and directly told Commander Xu about the current situation.

"I have a suggestion," Commander Xu said, "we are friendly troops, you can go to our department for a while to rest, and when you contact Sun Yumin, you can follow his arrangement." ”

Commander Xu was afraid that they would misunderstand that he had the idea of annexing the Yangshupu troops, and then said: "You can put 10,000 hearts, no matter at any time, as long as you want to pull out, the four detachments will only send off, and will not stop them." ”

After Liu Wenzhi heard these words, he was very emotional, he finally understood a little now, why Sun Yumin was willing to cooperate with the troops of the Communist Party, why Sun Yumin was willing to do his best to help them, it turned out that they were the same as Sun Yumin, after the friendly army encountered difficulties, they would also put themselves in the shoes of others. On the contrary, for the sake of their own interests, even if it is a unit under the same commander, they can still turn a blind eye and not save themselves. Comparing the two, the four detachments are far superior to the 176th Division, I don't know how many times.

Although Liu Wenzhi wanted to listen to Commander Xu's opinion, he thought of it again, Yangshupu's troops are now regarded as a national army with a formal establishment, although the New Fourth Army also belongs to the national army battle sequence, but after all, it ......

He couldn't make this decision, so he had to say to Commander Xu: "I will first say thank you for your kindness, and thank you for our Commander Sun, but for such a big matter, I need to have a meeting with everyone to discuss before I can reply to you, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Commander Xu said with a smile: "We welcome your troops to the four detachments to recuperate, if you have other plans, we will not force it." ”

Immediately, Liu Wenzhi summoned Gu Hongying, Li Tiedan and Dong Wenbin to have a small meeting together.

Liu Wenzhi informed the three of them of the current situation, and then told them Commander Xu's invitation before asking, "What should we do?" Tell me what you think. ”

In the imaginary scene, the three of them were really silent. I have always been accustomed to hearing that Sun Yumin is the master of everything, and he suddenly came to democracy, but he is not used to it, and it will naturally be a little difficult for them to expound their positions and opinions on such a big matter.

"Don't be silent, say whatever you want."

Liu Wenzhi was a little anxious, he actually preferred to go to the side of the New Fourth Army, after all, he still had two or three hundred wounded waiting for treatment, and the medical conditions of the flat stone were too poor, although there were still some medicines, but there was no serious doctor, the four detachments were different, and even each regiment had doctors and nurses, not to mention the headquarters of the four detachments and the Jiangbei headquarters.

"What's your opinion? Can you talk about it first? Gu Hongying spoke first, she seemed to see through Liu Wenzhi's heart, and asked deliberately.

"My opinion is the same as Commander Xu's, temporarily go to the New Fourth Army to rest, and then follow his orders after contacting the commander." Liu Wenzhi said, seeing that the three of them were staring at him in a daze, thinking that they had misunderstood that he wanted to pull the troops to the side of the New Fourth Army, and hurriedly explained: "We and the devil's wing are fighting so fiercely, and as soon as the main force of the devil's division comes, we have almost no chance of winning." Tie Dan, Wen Bin, you have all experienced the bloody battles of Nanjing and Lanfeng, and you all know that there is heavy artillery bombardment, maybe there will be planes to help in the war. Temporarily going to the side of the New Fourth Army can not only allow our wounded to be treated, but also preserve our strength. It is impossible for the devils to keep guarding the poplar shop and the flat stone all the time, and when they shift their focus away from us and concentrate on dealing with the 21st Group Army, we will come back. ”

"We can just leave, but have you ever thought about the people who are hiding in the mountains? That's tens of thousands, and we can't leave them behind. Even if they take them to the New Fourth Army, what will they eat when they arrive? What to drink? Where to stay? It is impossible for the New Fourth Army to have so much food to replenish it. "Gu Hongying is the most concerned about the common people among them, she has been the king of the mountain for more than ten years, and there have always been hundreds of family members on the flat stone, and the number of people even exceeds her subordinates.

"We can bring our food with us." Liu Wenzhi pointed to the ruins behind him, there was still food hidden in the cellar of every household, these were the materials that Zhang Yichun brought when they came to read the order, so they would defend the poplar shop, and they also wanted to keep these materials, but they didn't expect that the main force of the field division was so strong in combat, although it was a rice bucket in command, it still brought a devastating blow to the poplar shop.

"Even throwing down the flat stone?" Silly Bear glared at his bull's eyes and asked, "There is our family background on the flat stone, and I am reluctant to throw it down." ”

"I'm not going to give up on the Flat Stone!" Gu Hongying also expressed her position, she said: "Give up the poplar shop, I feel sorry for the owner, and it is better to let me die now." ”

This sentence made Liu Wenzhi speechless, he knew Silly Xiong, and he also knew Gu Hongying, both of them were temperamental, once they were determined, unless Sun Yumin, others would not be able to change them at all.

"Wenbin, what do you think?" Liu Wenzhi did not try to change the concept of the two, he asked Dong Wenbin, who had not yet spoken.

"We can't go to the New Fourth Army." As soon as Dong Wenbin opened his mouth, he vetoed Liu Wenzhi's previous proposal, and his veto was not as tactful as Gu Hongying and Li Tiedan, and he didn't take Liu Wenzhi's feelings into account at all.

"Can you explain your reasoning?" Liu Wenzhi was not angry because of Dong Wenbin's directness, but asked calmly.

"Do you still need a reason? Think about it with your brains, where is the commander now? In the nest of the national army! Once we let the above know that we are so close to the New Fourth Army, how will we treat him? Although it is said that this is a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the person at the top is very taboo to have anything to do with that side. As long as we dare to go, I can pack a ticket, and someone will definitely be eager to report it, and then the commander will be killed by us. ”

Dong Wenbin's words are very reasonable, except for Gu Hongying who doesn't understand these ways, Liu Wenzhi and Silly Xiong have both had a deep experience. Not to mention that a deeply appreciated general like Sun Yumin is an ordinary general of the national army, as long as he has something to do with the Communist Party, then his career will come to an end.

Dong Wenbin's words are not exaggerated at all, once the people above are convicted of colluding with the Communist Party, then Sun Yumin will definitely be implicated, and maybe there will really be a murder.

"What should we do in your opinion?" Liu Wenzhi didn't take this into account, but he was scared into a cold sweat by Dong Wenbin's words, and he was frightened and hurriedly chased after him to ask for a solution.

"When you were arguing just now, I thought about it for a while, and the deputy commander made sense. Regardless of the decision made, our first priority is to solve the problem of how to treat the two or three hundred wounded. Dong Wenbin is one of the people who followed Sun Yumin's side, learned relatively more, and was also good at thinking, he synthesized the suggestions of Liu Wenzhi, Gu Hongying, and Li Tiedan, and gave his own opinions: "Let's entrust all the wounded to the four detachments, and do our best to compensate others." After settling the wounded, let's take the rest of the troops to the commander, who has a soul with us. ”

As soon as Dong Wenbin's words came out, he immediately got Li Tiedan's approval, this time Sun Yumin led his troops out of Anhui and didn't bring him, which made him depressed for a long time, and now when he heard Dong Wenbin say to go to him, he immediately raised his hands in agreement. Since the death of Zhou Hainan and Zhou Hong, the only person he trusts is Sun Yumin, don't look at the usual giggling with these brothers, but the only one who can let him trust him with his life is Sun Yumin.

"We're gone, what about the flat stone? What about the folks here? And what about Miss Chen Lai and Xiao Chujiu? She is still so young, and let her run around with everyone at the risk of thousands of miles? ”

Gu Hongying did not object to going to Sun Yumin, but she was reluctant to give up the flat stone, reluctant to ignore these kind people, and even more reluctant to let this little junior high school who was like her own daughter, after hearing Dong Wenbin's words, she was a little anxious, for fear that they would be rash and determined to find Sun Yumin.

"I didn't think about it." Dong Wenbin muttered, he was a little embarrassed. In fact, he can't be blamed for this, what he is thinking about is Sun Yumin's safety, and as for other things, they are not within his consideration.

"Gotta think!" Liu Wenzhi's words were very resolute, although he had flaws in his character, but he thought about the most things in his head, and he was more thoughtful, he continued: "The boss's idea was to make the poplar shop and the flat stone our base, but I didn't expect the devil to be so heavy on a small village, and now although the poplar shop has become a ruin, we still have the natural danger of the flat stone." After this war, it will definitely provoke the revenge of the main force of the devils, but as long as we can temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, and when they concentrate on pinching each other with the 21st Group Army, the flat stone will return to our hands, and then we can rebuild a poplar shop. ”

Liu Wenzhi said so much in one breath, but he hadn't elaborated all the thoughts in his heart, and when he wanted to continue, he felt a soft little hand grabbing his wrist, and he could feel that the palm of this little hand was full of sweat, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw Gu Hongying's grateful eyes, which made Liu Wenzhi's heart beat wildly.

"So what do you think we should do?" Dong Wenbin didn't notice the spark between Liu Gu and the two at all, and opened his mouth to inquire.

Even Dong Wenbin didn't notice the abnormality of the two people, and the stupid bear didn't notice this, so he followed up and asked: "Then don't you go to the commander?" The tone of his voice was full of disappointment, and people seemed to be about to languish.

"I didn't say that," Liu Wenzhi smiled, his smile was not for Silly Xiong and Dong Wenbin, but completely for the woman who grabbed her wrist tightly, after seeing Gu Hongying also smile at him, he was inexplicably excited, and then said: "Let's let Commander Xu help take away the wounded for treatment, we really have no conditions." In order to thank others for their help, we left a small part of the medicine on the mountain, and let the four detachments take all the rest; In addition, there is a lot of food hidden in the cellars of the poplar shop, which can be regarded as our rations for the wounded; Also, there are not a lot of devils' bullets on our mountain, there are nearly 100,000 rounds, we are now using both Chinese and Czech, using 7.92mm caliber bullets, and we use less of the devil's 6.55mm caliber bullets, I see that almost all of the four detachments use Japanese-style weapons, they definitely need this kind of bullets, leave one or two thousand rounds, and give the rest to them, which is considered the military funds they helped this time and the thank you for helping us treat the wounded. ”
