After He Jianye slowly finished eating and drinking, he stretched his waist, called a brother casually, and said, "Call the cooking squad leader to come over." ”

The "regiment leader" cooking squad leader came to salute,

"Well, you need to find a good place to rack the pot in your cooking class! When the day dawns, the planes of the Japanese may come. Be hidden, but for these two hours you have to prepare hot soup and porridge, and make some porridge for the wounded and doctors. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, regimental commander, I found a cave, and the smoke was discharged a few hundred meters away along the flue inside, so it should be fine!" The cooking squad leader said,

"Well, it's not a big problem, but it's still necessary to watch out for the Japanese planes. Your cooks take turns resting. Go get busy! He Jianye said,

"Captain, porridge and hot soup are fine, but the broth is troublesome. There's not much meat left. The cooking squad leader said,

"It's all cooked! I'll figure it out later. Try to give the wounded and doctors and nurses as much as possible. He Jianye said,

After the cooking squad leader left, He Jianye stood up and said lazily: "Brothers, find a good place to sleep and rest!" Don't be spotted by the Japanese planes, try to get into the hole, and if you can't get into the field, you have to find a hidden place. I'm going to get a good place first. Haha"

The brothers of the 16th Regiment who heard the regiment commander speak like this instantly relaxed, and they all found a place to sleep. He Jianye came to the place where the materials were stacked and said to Yang Xiaoshi: "You are also tired for a day, go and rest!" I'll see. ”

"Commander, it's okay, I'll just watch; You go to rest! Yang Xiaoshi refused with a tired face,

"Obey the order, go quickly!" He Jianye said with a heavy face,

"Alright, I'll sleep here." Yang Xiaoshi wrapped his clothes tightly and fell asleep in the bushes.

After a short time, He Jianye sat in the bushes next to the materials and began to sit down and practice breathing, using superhuman hearing to monitor all movements around him......

There was the sound of a large number of people approaching in his ears, He Jianye opened his eyes, picked up his rifle, and walked in the direction of the source of the sound, and saw Zeng Da from a distance with a platoon of people coming to change shifts......

"Commander, go back and sleep well! We've rested. Zeng Da arranged for the change of guards, and said to He Jianye,

"Okay, keep an eye on the movement." He Jianye got up and walked towards the brickyard......

He Jianye, who was leaning on a big rock to the left, listened to the roar of the plane from high in the sky, and thought in his heart,

"It seems that the Japanese devil's plane is very busy, and he shouldn't have time to pay attention to my small team."

At 10 o'clock, Yang Xiaoshi found He Jianye on time and said to He Jianye, who had just woken up: "Leader, it's time." ”

"Well, old rule, you take the reconnaissance platoon to the front to explore the way. I led the team on the road. "He Jianye ordered,

Yang Xiaoshi organized the brothers of the reconnaissance platoon to drink a bowl of hot soup in the cooking class and opened the way......

"Everyone's an orangutan, assemble and get ready to go." He Jianye stood up, cleared his throat and shouted,

In the silent brickyard, there were voices of people complaining and shouting tiredness, and several large barrels of hot soup carried by the cooking team in the open space next to it were steaming......

When they saw the hot soup, the brothers immediately sped up, quickly sorted out their equipment, and went to the cooking class to get the hot soup in whole companies and platoons......

Doctors and nurses are waiting for the seriously injured to drink porridge, broth and gruel, as for the lightly wounded as long as their hands are not injured, they are eating porridge by themselves, occasionally taking a mouthful of broth, no way, the broth is too little, the main thing is to ensure the nutrition of the seriously injured and doctors and nurses.

At half past 10 o'clock, the reorganized team re-entered the road and marched along the road, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, several Japanese planes that had bombed and returned home found this team marching with the wounded and baggage, and flew away after running out of machine gun bullets in the dive, three brothers of the 16th Regiment were killed, and nine of the seriously wounded were killed......

After several breaks along the way, the 16th Regiment passed through the Danji area at 4 p.m. and marched all the way to the southwest, arriving at its destination in the early morning of 18 May.

He Jianye looked at the combat map and stood on Fangtou Mountain, although this is a mountain, it is just a small dirt slope in a hilly area, for He Jianye, who is accustomed to seeing famous mountains and rivers, this is really not called a mountain, just a dirt slope less than 100 meters high......

Seeing that the brothers, doctors, and nurses were all sitting at the foot of the mountain without any image and kicking their breath, He Jianye couldn't scold, and ordered directly,

"The baggage company and the engineer company immediately built a field hospital of the division headquarters between the big black mountain and the vertical mountain in the rear of Fangtou Mountain, paying attention to concealment. The transport company and the cooking squad prepared a place to get some hot food for the big guy and spend the night in the evening. Let's take action. The three battalion commanders and the commanders of the reconnaissance company and the guard company came over. ”

Although they were very tired, everyone still started to act under He Jianye's strict orders.

With the torch in the guard's hand, He Jianye pointed to the map and said,

"You see this area is a hilly area, there are mountains and rivers nearby, crisscrossing an area of about more than 160 square kilometers, it is a good place for us to block the attack, the outermost mountain top is less than 2 kilometers away from the straight line of the road, if the Japanese army pursues, it must enter the mountain, the first battalion began to build fortifications in Fangtou Mountain, the second battalion is in the small lonely mountain behind, the third battalion is in Sishan, and the guards have built positions in Xueshan overnight to cover the flank of the field hospital. Do not be afraid of the more fortifications, the more and stronger they are, the greater the chances of the brothers saving their lives. Let's organize the troops! ”

"Regiment commander, division headquarters telegram." As soon as He Jianye's voice fell, the communication team set up the radio station and received a telegram from the division headquarters.

After reading it, He Jianye said,

"Call back, our department has arrived at the predetermined position, and now we are building a defensive line. There were no small Japanese troops along the way, so it was safe to march. ”

"Divisional Headquarters Battle Situation Briefing." The communications squad immediately returned and handed over a few telegrams,

"On May 16, the Japanese 9th Division had advanced to the vicinity of Xiao County and was engaged in a fierce battle with the 139th Division, which had rushed to block it; The Japanese 16th Division was also close to the end of the field, and Xuzhou was directly threatened. Zhang Zizhong commanded the 59th Army, the 21st Division and the 27th Division of the 92nd Army northwest of Xuzhou to reinforce the 139th Division, block the enemy at Xiaoxian and Haozhai, and cover the assembly of the main force. ”

"The 27th Division occupies the Jiulishan position in the northeast of Xuzhou, the 59th Army (owed to the 180th Division) occupies the positions around Haozhai and Jiaheji, and the 92nd Army (attached to the 180th Division) occupies the positions in Xiaoxian and Bawangshan, and is making resolute resistance to prevent the Japanese from encircling it."

"I hope your troops are ready to break off the army, and the 20th Army will arrive in the area of Fangtou Mountain tomorrow (May 19) night."

On the morning of 19 May, the officers and men of the 16th Regiment, who had been busy all night, finally completed the construction of field trenches and artillery holes, and built semi-permanent heavy machine gun bunkers with the help of mountains......

"On May 17, the position of the 77th Army in the southwest of Suxian County in Zhujiakou was broken through by the Japanese 3rd Division, the position of the 92nd Army in the southwest of Xuzhou in the area of Bawang Mountain was broken through by the Japanese 13th Division, the 139th Division defending Xiao County was surrounded by the Japanese 9th Division, and Fengxian County defended by the 74th Army in the northwest of Xuzhou was also captured by the Japanese. That night, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater withdrew from Xuzhou and moved to Suxian. ”

"On May 18, the 3rd Army in Peixian was besieged by the Japanese 10th Division that crossed Weishan Lake, and had been fighting fiercely for 3 days, and broke through to Shangqiu that night; Liutai, where the headquarters of the 77th Army was located south of Suxian, was captured by the Japanese 3rd Division, and the Japanese attacked Suxian that night, and the 171st Division of the 7th Army, which was garrisoning the county seat at dawn, withdrew, Suxian was occupied, and the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater was also dispersed. ”

"Xiaoxian, Guzhenqiao and other places have been captured by the 9th and 3rd Divisions of the Japanese Army; Haozhai and Jiaheji were also captured by the Japanese army; The positions in the area of Taierzhuang north of Xuzhou were occupied by the Japanese 114th Division after the main forces of the 2nd Army began to move, and the division advanced to the area of Jiawang. ”

He Jianye looked at the war report in his hand in the temporary regiment headquarters on the mountainside, and knew that Xuzhou was finished; I'm afraid that the next thing is a big retreat, but I don't know if Lan Feng will be lost, if Lan Feng is lost, I'm afraid the people will suffer again......
