Just when Chen Qingzhi sighed, Fang Xiaodong and the others came over, saluted, and reported: "Brigade seat, now that the Japanese army is about to surround Xuzhou, and the garrisons and various organs and units in Xuzhou City have been transferred, are we also going to retreat?" ”

"Withdraw! Let the soldiers clean up, it's ...... now" Speaking of this, Chen Qingzhi looked at the time, and then said: "It's ten o'clock in the morning, and an hour later, it will be eleven o'clock, and the troops will leave on time, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Remember, bring everything you can bring, and blow up everything you can't take away, even if it's ruined, you can't leave it to the little devil!" Chen Qingzhi asked.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Fang Xiaodong nodded, and then immediately turned around to gather the troops.

The news of the evacuation was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers immediately began to quickly pack up their armaments and supplies, although they were a little panicked, but this was also because the new soldiers had not yet been on the battlefield.

However, when it comes to carrying out orders, they are meticulous, and the troops already have some tendencies to enforce orders and prohibitions.

It can be seen that this month's training time is still very effective!

At the very least, the recruits and soldiers of the army have undergone earth-shaking changes in both physical fitness and military literacy from a month ago, and a trace of solemnity has gradually diffused between them.

What is lacking is just an opportunity to fight!

As long as you go through the baptism of war, as long as you can survive, you will immediately be a force that can fight!

Chen Qingzhi is very satisfied with this result!

Of course, what satisfied him even more was the special operations team, after a month of training, these 20 members of the special operations team were desperately completing the various tasks he had assigned, and some of the things he had been taught, these 20 people were also able to carry them out very well.

And after this month's physical training, each of these 20 people is much stronger, and the training can be described as quite effective.

The troops were quickly assembled, and all the soldiers were lined up neatly under the leadership of their respective commanders, lined up in a neat line, and when Fang Xiaodong came to report, Chen Qingzhi took a look, and it had only been a little more than half an hour.

"Brigade seat, the troops have been assembled, please show the brigade seat!" Fang Xiaodong saluted and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi looked around at all the soldiers lined up neatly, but finally couldn't help but nodded, with a look of approval on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Not bad!" The spirit of the fighters is very good, it seems that you have trained well during this time! ”

"Where the responsibility is, don't dare to mess with the pool!" Fang Xiaodong responded.

"Hmmm! Let's go! Get out of here early and evacuate early! Chen Qingzhi nodded, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Following Chen Qingzhi's order, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade soon marched slowly under the urging of the officers.

At present, although the Japanese army has joined forces in the north and south and surrounded Xuzhou, it is only a strategic encirclement, and it seems to be encircling Xuzhou from the overall situation, but if you want to get into your pocket, it will take at least a day to really encircle Xuzhou!

And the time of this day is the time when all the defenders in Xuzhou City finally evacuate!

However, the organs and units and remnants of the troops in Xuzhou City have basically been evacuated before, and the independent brigade has been evacuated relatively late!

When Chen Qingzhi walked through the city with his troops, there were basically not many soldiers left, and there were just some lone soldiers and small troops!

These small groups of troops were basically disabled in the previous battle, and although they returned to Xuzhou to report on their work, they could not get any news because there was no commander and there were too few soldiers, so no one informed them to evacuate.

So they were all wandering on the street, and at this moment, when they saw the troops of the Independent Brigade leaving Xuzhou, they all came up to negotiate and wanted to leave with the Independent Brigade.

Fang Xiaodong didn't dare to agree to these requests, so he could only come forward to ask Chen Qingzhi, and Chen Qingzhi only agreed after groaning.

These soldiers are all real soldiers, and they have played with devils on the battlefield, so naturally they can't be lost in Xuzhou City like this!

Besides, these small groups of remnants want to come over and defect, which is exactly what Chen Qingzhi wants.

Now his independent brigade has lost too many soldiers, although more than 2,000 people have been replenished, but it is still a little unsightly compared to before, and now these people come to defect in twos and threes, although there are a few few, but after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.

In this way, small groups of troops and stragglers along the way were accommodated, although it took a lot of time, but it did contain more than 300 people, and finally it was not until the afternoon that the independent brigade really left Xuzhou City.

After leaving Xuzhou City, the Independent Brigade did not dare to continue to slack off, but advanced at full speed and evacuated quickly.

"Brigade seat, after the above let us break the independent brigade, let's evacuate at full speed now, in case some government agencies and units are left behind......" At this time, Fang Xiaodong said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter, the government agencies, field hospitals and various auxiliary departments have evacuated one or two days before us, even if they go slowly, they are already far away from the center of Xuzhou at this moment, besides, although the Japanese army has come up with the encirclement, the Fifth Theater will definitely not retreat at the touch of a button, and it will definitely still arrive along the way, delaying time."

"So what we have to do now is get out of here as soon as possible...... In this way, when they arrived at the border of Henan Province, the troops stopped, built defensive positions on the spot, and waited for a day. ”

"After this day, no matter if no one has come out, no matter whether the Japanese army has attacked or not, we must stay for a full day, and after a day, we will evacuate immediately!" Chen Qingzhi said.

The task given to them above is to break off, but breaking off does not mean that they are sent to death.

After leaving Yu Province, he set up a defensive position on the spot to meet the people behind.

If there are still people behind, then pick them up, if not, they will also stay for a day, and as soon as the day is over, they will immediately evacuate here!

Hearing this, Fang Xiaodong also nodded in agreement.

At such a time of crisis, staying for a day is already the end of benevolence, and even if there are really no troops who have not withdrawn at that time, then it is no wonder that they are not at it!

After all, their mission is only to break off, not to defend it!

Soon, when the sun set that night, the independent brigade that marched all the way was already more than 100 miles away from Xuzhou, but Chen Qingzhi still did not dare to slack off, and ordered the troops not to rest, and continued to hurry, striving to rush to the mountainous area on the border of Anhui and Henan as soon as possible.

Although it is more than a hundred miles away now, it is still a little too close to the battlefield! It's not time to relax yet!

Only when they get to the mountains can they be considered truly safe!
