The Huoshan Independent Detachment led by Dai Cunxiang and Silly Xiong merged into the marching ranks of the 20th Division, and as for the devil dog skins worn by the brothers from Huoshan, they had already been burned by a fire.

Dai Cunxiang and Silly Xiong regained the excitement of the Central Army at the beginning, but they always felt that they were a little sorry for Sun Yumin and the four detachments of the New Fourth Army that they tried their best to save in Yangshupu.

Although Zhang Xiaohu kept the skeleton of this army, he was unable to win the weaponry, equipment and supply treatment that the 20th Division should have.

From Huangmei to Wuning, along the way, Dai Cunxiang and they also returned to reality from the excitement, although the situation of the 20th Division is not very bad, but it is completely incomparable with before, just take the car simply, when Sun Yumin was in the 20th Division, each regiment had more than a dozen trucks, including the cars of the baggage battalion, and the whole division had dozens of cars, but now, the entire division did not even have a truck, and they thought that it was because the truck had a large target and stayed in Henan, so they used mules and horses to transport materials.

"Alas, this can't be blamed on Huzi, he really did his best, and it was not easy to keep the 20th Division complete." Qian Jin said. He is still the director of the quartermaster logistics department of the 20th Division, and when Sun Tongxuan sent the 20th Division down this time, he sent the entire 20th Division down, except for the wounded soldiers who were still in the hospital, all the garrisons in Zhengzhou were handed over to the 81st Division in Zhanshutang. In other words, the 20th Division that is now on the road, whether it is personnel, weapons, equipment and materials, is already owned by the 20th Division.

"Sun Tongxuan is also a hero, the 20th Division is his starting unit, and he can actually treat it like this." Dai Cunxiang's eyes burned with anger, he was an old man of the 20th Division, and he had unusual feelings for the 20th Division, so he naturally couldn't stand the current decadent appearance of the 20th Division.

Compared with the previous 20th Division, the current equipment of the Huoshan Independent Detachment is more than a little worse, but this kind of equipment is still much better than the current 20th Division that has been walking all the way. Dai Cunxiang's second regiment suffered heavy losses in battle, and less than 100 people followed, and these more than 100 people held the equipment of most of the regiment, which was better than Zhang Xiaohu's 20th division, so there was nothing to say. But the weapons and equipment of the seven regiments can surpass them, which speaks for itself.

"You can't blame Sun Tongxuan entirely, in fact, since the first battle of Lanfeng, he has already felt guilty, and there has never been a shortage of our supplies and food, which is already rare in the Twelfth Army, on the other hand, the Twenty-second Division and the Eighty-first Division are not as good as us." Qian Jin sighed and said: "It's not that the 20th Division is not welcomed, but the entire Third Army is not welcomed, Sun Tongxuan is gone, maybe he felt this, so he privately ordered the 20th Division to go south." ”

"It may be that Sun Tongxuan thinks that only by returning the 20th Division to the division seat can the 20th Division be retained from being annexed by others." Zhang Xiaohu interjected, even if he is now a major general and division commander, he still calls Sun Yumin the division commander.

"Annexed?" Dai Cunxiang asked suspiciously: "No, isn't Sun Tongxuan already promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Army?" How could anyone still have such a big appetite and dare to annex the Twenty Divisions? ”

"Not to mention the Twenty Divisions!" Zhang Xiaohu sneered, and he continued: "The three divisions below the Twelfth Army are already fish and meat on people's swords, and it is only a matter of time before they are annexed, just like the Third Army is disintegrated. ”

Dai Cunxiang heard Zhang Xiaohu talk about the situation of the Third Army earlier, but he didn't think about the annexation, thinking that it was just a normal transfer.

It seems that Sun Tongxuan asked the 20th Division to go south, and it is really very likely that he wanted to return the 20th Division to the boss.

"I knew now, why bother in the first place! If it weren't for him, my brother-in-law would not have been disheartened, threw down the 20th Division, and ran to hide in the ravine. "It was Chen Lai who spoke, since the convergence with the 20th Division, this woman was no longer willing to pretend to be a big soldier, and got a female officer uniform from the female telecommunications officer of the 20th Division and put it on her body.

"Sun Tongxuan should regret it! Otherwise, ......" Zhang Xiaohu still wanted to help say a few words, but was interrupted by Chen Lai's sharp teeth, she said: "Is there a regret medicine sold in this world?" If my brother-in-law had died on the battlefield of Lanfeng, would Sun Tongxuan still have this opportunity to entrust the 20th Division to him again. ”

Chen Lai threw out two rhetorical questions in a row, and finally said angrily: "As far as the current 20th Division is called a general unit of the Hanako Army, what do you want, and my brother-in-law is not uncommon to take over." ”

This is an extremely ruthless sentence, but it is also an extremely true word, the 20th Division really wants nothing now, a unit like this, let alone Sun Yumin, it is estimated that it is not uncommon for any shrewd commander to take over.

Zhang Xiaohu and Qian Jin lowered their heads by this sentence, Dai Cunxiang also twisted his head to the side, but the stupid bear said Chen Lai sharply: "What do you know about a little girl?" The 20th Division is the brainchild of the boss, and no matter how much he has nothing, he will not turn it away. ”

"Humph!" Chen Lai was very unconvinced, she said: "You are not a roundworm in his stomach, how do you know what he thinks?" ”

"I ......"

Silly Bear wanted to be angry with her, but suddenly he found that if he was angry with a little girl, it would be too bad to spread out, and he swallowed the words he wanted to scold into his stomach.

"What are you? There is a kind of saying it. Although Chen Lai said that she didn't deal with the little girl very well, she still learned a lot of crooked tricks from her, and was thinking about how to trick him, but suddenly she heard the sound of gunfire in the distance, she frowned slightly, looked at Dai Cunxiang who was twisting his head, and then looked at Zhang Xiaohu and Qian Jin, who were lowering their heads, and found that they didn't seem to hear the sound of fighting, so they asked: "Brother Tiedan, did you hear guns and cannons?" ”

As soon as her words came out, several men present invariably became energetic and listened carefully to the voices that came and went at that time.

"There were literally gunshots and explosions!" These are the words of the silly bear.

"There are 38 big covers and crooked handles, and there are 92 heavy machine guns." Dong Wenbin hadn't spoken before, but after hearing the sound of the battle, he immediately judged the sound of several weapons.

"It's our people, I heard the MP38, it's the commander of them." Compared to others, Dai Cunxiang is more familiar with this German submachine gun, including its performance and sound.

Zhang Xiaohu looked puzzled, he didn't understand what Dai Cunxiang's MP38 meant, and even he didn't hear the gunshots of the battle, maybe he had been away from the battlefield for too long, and some of the battlefield skills had been almost lost, which couldn't be blamed on him, after all, as the commander of a division, he was in charge of tens of thousands of horses, so it was not his turn to go to the battlefield in person.

"Are you sure you hear the MP38?" Dong Wenbin asked, the gunshots were too mixed, and it was not easy to distinguish two or three, so he didn't notice the sound of submachine guns at all.

"What is MP38?" Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Guns, guns for the troops that the boss is carrying." Dai Cunxiang replied to him, and then said: "Senior Commander Zhang, the boss should be in trouble there, we have to hurry up and go for reinforcements." ”

Of the few of them, only Dai Cunxiang could almost distinguish all the types of weapons in the distant gunfire, and he even heard the roar of the Type 94 37mm caliber vehicle-mounted gun on the bean tank, what does this mean? This shows that the boss has encountered hard stubble, and the one with the armored squadron is not an ordinary devil, it is very likely to be the main force of a certain brigade or even a certain division of the devil.

"Are you sure it's the teacher?" Zhang Xiaohu was still a little skeptical.

"Of course." Dai Cunxiang was very confident, he was in a hurry, but he felt that this Zhang Xiaohu seemed to have nothing to do with himself, which made him even more anxious, so he simply stopped talking nonsense with him, and said directly to Silly Xiong: "Tie Guts, can you give me the command of your seventh regiment first?" We've got to get to the back of the Boss. ”

"We'll all listen to you." Silly Bear knows Dai Cunxiang and knows that his command ability is more than a star and a half compared to this guy. Moreover, he is going to lead his troops to rescue the boss, just for this reason, let alone command, even if he asks Li Tie to lead the team to charge, he will not blink an eye.

"Lin Sheng, have wealth." Dai Cunxiang shouted loudly and called the two company commanders he relied on the most.

"Regiment commander, there is a battle ahead, it could be our people." Wu Linsheng's first sentence confirmed Dai Cunxiang's judgment, and he wanted to say something more, but Dai Cunxiang waved his hand to stop him, and ordered: "You two take your people, set off first, find out the specific situation, and then report quickly, we are behind you." Remember, don't shoot lightly. ”

"Yes!" Dai Cunxiang and Wang Youcai replied together, the second regiment after the battle of Yangshupu, the losses were huge, there were not many people left, part of them followed Liu Wenzhi to stay in the flat stone, and the other part followed Dai Cunxiang to the south, this part of the people is less than a hundred, and most of them are soldiers of a company, but even if it is incomplete, it is still the most trusted and relied on force by Dai Cunxiang.

"Wen Bin, you and the artillery detachment will follow Huzi first, and Tie Dan and I will take the seventh regiment up first." Dai Cunxiang originally wanted to say to Zhang Xiaohu that let his troops follow behind the Seventh Regiment and be ready to fight at any time, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was inappropriate, after all, he was a major general and division commander, and it would really be a bit too much to command him by himself. He had an idea, and through Dong Wenbin, he indirectly said the deployment.

The others didn't feel anything, but the parties Dong Wenbin and Zhang Xiaohu felt his good intentions, especially Zhang Xiaohu, who was very grateful, after all, there were many of his own subordinates present, if Dai Cunxiang directly said that the 20th Division would be how to do it, not only would he lose face on his face, but it would even affect the enthusiasm of the troops, after all, the 20th Division was no longer the 20th Division it used to be.

After Dai Cunxiang finished talking about these arrangements, he looked at Zhang Xiaohu with inquiring eyes, looking forward to his speech.

"Since we can be sure that our own people are fighting the enemy, we must go to the rescue. If you are the vanguard, the 20th Division will arrange a big pocket and strive to eat the enemy in one go. ”

Zhang Xiaohu's words were full of official tones, although Dai Cunxiang sounded very uncomfortable, but the attitude of the people had already been expressed, and they would definitely go all out to rescue, as long as there was this attitude, it was enough, and the rest was not so important.

Dong Wenbin also said: "Tie Guts, Cunxiang, you two must pay attention to safety, I will give you enough artillery support." ”

…………

After all, human legs can't outrun cars and tanks, which Sun Yumin is convinced, so after he returned with the second company, he ordered Deng Dongping to abandon the simple fortifications that he had just worked hard to build and prepare to retreat to the forest.

But before the troops could pack up the heavy firepower weapons on the position, Sun Yumin immediately changed the transfer order he had just issued, because he heard the last thing he wanted to hear: the sound of horses' hooves! A large sound of horses' hooves! This is the cavalry of the devils.

Sun Yumin had long heard that the devils had a cavalry brigade, but after fighting for so long, he had not seen the true face of the devil's cavalry, let alone the confrontation. originally thought that the devil's cavalry would only appear in the plains, but he didn't expect that in Jiangxi, in Wuning, and at such a critical moment, he actually hit the devil's cavalry and ran into the devil's cavalry.

Although he had never fought with the devil cavalry, Sun Yumin knew that if he had just given up his position and encountered the cavalry in the process of transferring, it would be a nightmare for himself and a group, even if he had a powerful submachine gun, if he was scattered by the devil cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We can't leave, we can only defend to the death." Deng Dongping said that he also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it is indeed such a big sound of horses' hooves, if you can't hear it, then it's strange.

"It is said that the devil cavalry is invincible, I don't believe in this evil, let's destroy their prestige first." Sun Yumin said: "Let the submachine guns of the first and second companies not expose their firepower first, and listen to my orders before shooting. ”

Deng Dongping understood Sun Yumin's intentions, the current regiment is actually a lone army, this is an enemy-occupied area, there are no friendly troops nearby, there is neither support nor supplies, whether or not you can escape depends entirely on yourself, for a regiment, every soldier now, every bullet is particularly precious, and it cannot be wasted at all.

"Commander, we have to find a way to annihilate all these cavalry, otherwise we will definitely not be able to escape." Deng Dongping said.

"Even if we wipe them out, we won't be able to leave." Sun Yumin sighed and continued: "I only asked everyone to give up their positions and withdraw because there are devils' tanks behind and a huge main force of devils, even if we annihilate all the devil's cavalry, the main forces and tanks of devils behind will also arrive." ”

Since Deng Dongping followed Sun Yumin, he has never been so pessimistic, on the battlefield of Lanfeng, he led the Sichuan Army even if there was no one, and he was not as pessimistic as now, it can be seen that the current situation is really extremely dangerous.
