Just when everyone was looking for Jiang Haoran in a panic, Jiang Haoran was sitting alone next to a cannon pit outside the city, just now Yuan Dong and Su Peng passed happily all the way, letting him know that the devil should have been wiped out, but he didn't seem to be happy because of this, but at the moment his expression was dull, as if he was far away

The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield did not dissipate, and the heavy smell of blood came slowly with the cool breeze of the evening, making it clear to him that death was really close to him.

All of them can cheer and indulge for a while. But he can't, he has the lives of more than 2,000 ** soldiers on his back, and today's small negligence left less than a hundred brothers in the machine gun battalion. If he had set up an artillery suspicion formation for the enemy in advance, let the devils bomb, and exposed the devils' firepower earlier, it would have been impossible for the machine gun battalion to have such large casualties. Although war has its laws, death cannot be avoided. However, as a commander, because of his own negligence, he led the innocent casualties of his soldiers, and even if he achieved brilliant results, it can only be said that he was a victorious battle and a failed command. Therefore, he must calmly think clearly about how the next battle should be fought, and must not make similar mistakes again.

Although four or five thousand Japanese troops were annihilated today, not only will it not help the current predicament, but will usher in an even more crazy retaliation of the Japanese army tomorrow. Needless to say, he cut off the back road of the Japanese army, and he caused the Japanese army to lose nearly 10,000 yuan along the way, and he must have become a stinger in the eyes of the Japanese army, eager to pull out and then quickly. The firepower and combat effectiveness exposed today will definitely make the Japanese army pay more attention to it, and it is inevitable that the army will be overwhelmed. The north and south sides are not terrible, after all, there are still fortified cities and sharp artillery that can block them for a while. But the Japanese army will not be so stupid, it will definitely carry out an air strike first to destroy its own fortified artillery, so that the soldiers who survived by luck have become rootless trees, where can they still have the ability to block the Japanese army's two-way attack.

Although it seems that there is still strong foreign aid from Xue Yue's ten divisions, it can hold back the 27th division of the Japanese army. However, Jiang Haoran clearly remembered that the historical records of later generations recorded that the casualties of the "Wanjialing Great Victory" also reached 30,000 or 40,000, and some divisions even had less than one regiment left. In addition, after nearly 10 days of continuous operations, the officers and men were fatigued, and it was unknown whether weapons, ammunition, and materials could be effectively replenished, but the Japanese army still had planes that could airdrop supplies and carry out air strikes against them. Therefore, whether Xue Yue can really hold back the 27th Division is still a big question mark. It seems to be to cut off the connection between the 27th Division and the 104th Division of the Japanese Army, but in other words, it can be said that the two divisions of the Japanese Army surrounded Xue Yue's Corps. The whole battle situation seems to have entered a chain of traps, if the Japanese army destroys the Nanshan Independent Brigade, the Japanese army will be relieved, and Xue Yue's army will fall into a heavy encirclement. **If the 27th Division is eliminated, it will be unbundled, and the 104th Division will be in danger if it does not retreat westward in time. But in terms of time, the Japanese army can have more space, and if Jiang Haoran can't hold Mahuiling tomorrow, there will only be one night left today.

Because Jiang Haoran could not be found in the city, the search team began to spread outside the city.

"Look, the brigade is sitting there!" Soon someone discovered Jiang Haoran, and after an exclamation, all the people gathered around. Chen Yihan forgot his shyness and flew into Jiang Haoran's arms like a swallow. Looking at everyone's concerned eyes, Jiang Haoran suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. And the young and vivid faces under the torches made him feel bitter. Maybe after tonight, none of these people will be in this world.

After feeling Jiang Haoran's body temperature, Chen Yihan's hanging heart finally let go. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he popped out of Jiang Haoran's arms, and his hands began to routinely check Jiang Haoran's body.

Jiang Haoran stroked Chen Yihan's back and smiled: "Don't worry! Wife, you can't make a bullet that can hurt your husband. ”

Everyone began to laugh, and Chen Yihan realized that his movements were too intimate, and his face suddenly felt hot. Although no one can see it under this firelight, after all, it is also in full view of everyone, plus Jiang Haoran opened his mouth, and he didn't know what embarrassing words came out later, a powder fist smashed a punch on Jiang Haoran's chest, turned around and shouted Xiaohu, spread his legs and ran, as if he was angry, he turned back to Jiang Haoran and said: "I just hope that the little devil will quickly make this kind of bullet!" After saying that, I didn't forget to put on a playful grimace. Chen Yihan didn't expect that this unintentional sentence would make her blame herself in torment for a whole night

Chen Yihan's expression made Jiang Haoran can't help but sigh, and in the laughter of everyone, watching Chen Yihan and Xiaohu leave, Jiang Haoran stretched out his two hands and made a downward motion towards the soldiers. Everyone understood that they had something to say, and they all closed their mouths.

"Brothers, did you enjoy today?" Jiang Haoran said loudly.

"Enjoyable! Enjoyable! Enjoyable! The crowd waved the torches in their hands and shook the earth with a loud voice.

"But I want to tell everyone, tomorrow the devils will attack us from the north and south, and there will be bombing by the devil's planes overhead, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, people are dead!"

"Yes, we are all dead people, and we are afraid of a ball, so it's a big deal to fight with devils!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! ”

The determination of the soldiers to desperately resist the enemy made Jiang Haoran also moved: "Okay! You are all my Jiang Haoran's good brothers, all of them are iron-clad men, I Jiang Haoran can fight side by side with my brothers is my blessing, if we can't kill the devil tomorrow, I, Jiang Haoran, will bury more than 100 catties with my brothers in this Huimaling, even if I go underground, I will take my brothers to kill devils and fight with devils to the end! ”

"Fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

The soldiers roared angrily one by one, even after Jiang Haoran signaled everyone to stop, the echo of "bloody battle to the end" in the valley still sounded.

"Order, the officers above the deputy battalion commander stay for a meeting, and the rest of the departments immediately go back to eat and drink to their heart's content, and wait for the assignment of tasks!" Because Jiang Haoran still has very important things to do tonight, he can't delay any longer.

"Yes". After standing up and saluting, the platoon commanders of each company immediately commanded their respective teams and ran away.

Jiang Haoran whispered to Su Canwu again, and Su Canwu also turned around and left quickly with the guard company.

The first military meeting of the Nanshan Independent Brigade was held on this battlefield strewn with corpses. Except for the Yin Donglai Department of the assault battalion because of the absence of guarding the east gate, the military commanders of the other battalions were there, and of course Liu Dakun, the regiment commander, was indispensable. Although it was a meeting, Jiang Haoran was basically speaking alone. In the past two days, there have been five battles, all of which were Jiang Haoran's ideas, and they just carried it out. Jiang Haoran also knew that this was not conducive to the improvement of the quality of his officers, and at the same time, it was easy to breed their dependence and make them lose their insight into the battle situation. But now is not the time to transform them, Yi Qiē can only jump out of this encirclement first.

Jiang Haoran explained his analysis of the battle situation in detail, so that everyone could understand the current situation, so that they could be fully prepared for tomorrow's battle, and then issued military orders. Xu Biao's artillery battalion dragged at least 8 cannons into the woods to hide, built individual anti-artillery bunkers, and at the same time mixed trees and real artillery in the valley, and the straw men put on soldiers' clothes and set up an artillery position for the devil's planes to bomb. The machine-gun battalion set up heavy machine-gun positions at the commanding heights in the urban area to prevent low-altitude reconnaissance by devil planes. In addition to leaving guard firepower, the other battalions dug several serpentine trenches two meters wide and three meters deep at the junction along the hills in the city tonight, removed all the door panels and trees in the city, and built them in several layers with sand and earth to blend in with the mountains as much as possible. Set up more entrances and exits, and once enemy planes are discovered, the whole army should be able to enter the bunkers immediately. At the same time, it was ordered that during Jiang Haoran's absence, the army would be under the command of Liu Dakun.
