Chi Feng Cheng is gone, and he is going back with his troops.

The 31st Division suffered heavy losses, and the entire division was wiped out, so he wanted to go back with the remaining people, leave some fire for the 31st Division, and slowly pull the 31st Division up again.

After the two said goodbye to each other on the position, Chen Qingzhi returned to the position of the Independent Brigade alone.

At this time, Fang Xiaodong and several other regiment commanders came over and saluted Chen Qingzhi: "Brigade!" ”

"What about the casualties of the troops? How many are left now? Chen Qingzhi nodded, and then asked.

"The casualties are very heavy, and at present, there are only 163 fighters left in the three infantry regiments of the independent brigade that can still move, of which there are 47 people left in the broadsword team, 6 82mm mortars left in the artillery regiment, a total of 122 artillery and its logistics and transportation soldiers, and all the soldiers of the independent brigade combined, there are less than 350 people left!" Fang Xiaodong said in a deep voice with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi was also silent, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak at all.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "The commander-in-chief ordered us to withdraw from the battlefield in Taierzhuang and return to the rear of Xuzhou for repairs!" The losses of our independent brigade are too heavy, and only this little manpower is left, which is already the only few people left in our independent brigade! They can't have an accident, we need to take them out as soon as possible, take them as the core, and reorganize the troops! ”

"At present, although the battle of Taierzhuang was a big victory, but the surrounding Japanese army has not been annihilated, the fifth division and the tenth division still have combat strength, it is estimated that it will not be long before Commander-in-Chief Li will launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and it is not much use for the independent brigade to stay here, wait for tomorrow! Rest tonight, and get out tomorrow! ”

"Yes!"

Fang Xiaodong nodded and responded silently.

"By the way, how is Wang Yachuan's injury?" Chen Qingzhi suddenly remembered Wang Yachuan, since Wang Yachuan was seriously injured in the Taierzhuang War and was sent out for treatment, there has been no news, suddenly thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Commander Wang was first sent to the field hospital outside Taierzhuang, and then sent to Xuzhou for treatment, and the news came back before that it was no longer life-threatening, but it still needed to be hospitalized for observation, and it had been sent to Yucheng!" Fang Xiaodong said.

"Hmmm! Wang Yachuan has arrived in Yucheng......" Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi frowned, but then he stretched out and said: "It's okay, I estimate that after we arrive in Xuzhou, we may have to go to Yucheng in a short time, and it's a big deal to bring him back when the time comes!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qingzhi nodded, and then said: "Tell the soldiers to rest well tonight, but pay attention to take care of the emotions of the soldiers, and don't appear war-weary!" Take advantage of this! ”

After every big war, there will always be soldiers who are war-weary, this is actually the post-war syndrome, once you get this disease, you will not be able to go to the battlefield in this life!

As soon as they pick up their guns, they will tremble, and when they enter the battlefield, they will be nervous like a sieve.

For troops, especially those who have just suffered heavy casualties after a major battle, what they are most afraid of is the appearance of large-scale combat syndrome!

Because once this situation occurs, it means that some of the remaining elites will be lost! This is a very heavy blow to the troops all the time!

"Brigade, my province!" Hearing this, Fang Xiaodong nodded and said obediently.

After finishing the order, Chen Qingzhi looked at the devastation on the ground and the countless corpses on the ground.

It was such a battlefield that buried the lives of countless soldiers.

I don't know how many people will remember everything that happened here today in a hundred years, a thousand years from now?

This thought suddenly appeared in his mind, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, expelled these thoughts from his mind, and then found a slightly cleaner place, planning to rest.

On this night, there were rare explosions and gunshots on the battlefield in Taierzhuang, and only the silence after the rain and the fresh air remained in the entire night sky.

Chen Qingzhi slept very sweetly, he had a dream.

He dreamed that the history of the Battle of Xuzhou was changed, the Japanese army was defeated, all the elites of the North and Central China Front were defeated, and the Japanese army on the Central Plains had no more strength to attack, and the little devils were forced to turn to the defensive.

Under the leadership of various generals, our soldiers launched an attack against the Japanese army, and anti-Japanese activities were set off everywhere in the country, and everyone shouted and beat the little devils on the land of China, and the situation was changed......

I woke up one night and found that everything was just a dream.

I couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"Traveler? Woke up so early? A voice came, Chen Qingzhi followed the prestige, but saw that it was Fang Xiaodong.

"I can't sleep, I wake up naturally!" Chen Qingzhi nodded, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and found that it was already close to seven o'clock in the morning, and said: "It's not early, call out the soldiers, let's get ready to evacuate!" ”

"Hmm!" When Fang Xiaodong heard this, he nodded, then turned around and ran over to shout out to the soldiers.

Chen Qingzhi noticed that Fang Xiaodong's eyes were bloody, and his eye sockets were also a little red, which meant that Fang Xiaodong was likely to stay awake all night!

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that not only is he a little sad, but there are many people who are sad!

Soon, Fang Xiaodong had already assembled the troops, less than three hundred and fifty soldiers, lined up neatly, and it was only more than the strength of a company.

I remember that when he led the Independent Brigade into battle a few months ago, there were still eight or nine thousand people in the entire army, but in just a few months, there were less than four hundred people left in the entire Independent Brigade.

This loss, this price, makes Chen Qingzhi a little unacceptable to this day.

Looking at the soldiers present, Chen Qingzhi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "Let's withdraw!" ”

At the sound of the order, the troops moved slowly, and the ranks of several hundred people marched in silence.

It was obviously a big victory, but it looked like a remnant of soldiers withdrawn from the battlefield, this scene made Chen Qingzhi shake his head, but there was not much.

He knew that the soldiers were still a little unable to accept this result for the time being, so the only thing Chen Qingzhi could do now was to let them think for themselves.

Let them figure it out for themselves, let them figure it out for themselves, let them come out on their own.

There is no other way!

If they can't get out, this army will be ruined!

From now on, even if you go to the battlefield, it will be useless!

Their confidence and spirit have sunk, and the continued presence of such people in the army will only disturb the overall morale of the troops!

Although they are a little reluctant, if they continue to be unable to come out like this, for the sake of the future of the independent brigade, Chen Qingzhi can only disband them all!
