Chapter 22: Sluggishness (2)

Xiao Linghu took his people back to the regiment headquarters of the 263rd Regiment, the sky had already darkened, he said to Director Li Yifei, and was about to go to the hospital to visit Meng Fanwei and Yan Fei, but at this time, he suddenly heard Staff Officer Li receive a phone call, and before he went out of the door, he heard Li Yifei ask loudly: "What?" Withdraw? Why? ”

Xiao Linghu stopped immediately when he walked to the door, and couldn't help but turn around and look at Li Yifei.

Lin Jinghan and Junzi couldn't help but turn around.

Li Yifei was still shouting: "Shizuo, our regiment has sacrificed so many people, even the regiment commander died there, the sniper who just killed the devil, and now he is about to defeat the enemy's dark fort, and he will definitely be able to take Huishan Wharf before dark, how can you say that you will withdraw if you retreat?" Isn't the blood of so many of our brothers shed in vain? ”

Li Yifei's words were almost hoarse, and tears had already flowed out, he wanted to try his best to save something.

However, the voice on the phone was very low, and Lin Jinghan could hear Sun Yuan's words, but it was a little far away, and he couldn't hear what was said in it.

Li Yifei held the earpiece and stood for a long time, as if he had been immobilized by Sun Wukong, and stood motionless.

In the entire regimental headquarters, all the people involuntarily stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the chief of staff who answered the phone.

After the sacrifice of the regiment commander Zhang Cheng of the 263rd Regiment, although Sun Yuan temporarily appointed the deputy regiment commander to act as the deputy regiment commander, this deputy regiment commander, like Zhang Cheng, gave up his life and took the chief of staff to the front line of the battle to command.

Finally, Li Yifei put down the phone numbly, and without waiting for Xiao Linghu to come over to ask, a staff officer next to him had already asked: "Lao Li, what's the matter?" ”

"The division requires our 263rd Regiment to immediately withdraw from Huishan Wharf and retreat along the Honghe River!" When he said this, Li Yifei's tears had already flowed unconsciously.

"Why?" This time, even Staff Officer Yu, who was usually not in a hurry or slow, couldn't help but scream, and his voice was no lower than Director Li just now.

Xiao Linghu knew that at this time, what was the significance of being able to capture Huishan Wharf for the 263rd Regiment! That's not just a victory, it's simply shame and courage, it's revenge and blood hatred!

"The devil's ship has arrived in Shanghai, and the first ship has also entered the Huangpu River, and it is about to dock at Huishan Wharf!" Li Yifei said weakly, this was obviously what Sun Yuan told him on the phone.

Suddenly, Xiao Linghu and Lin Jinghan only felt as if they had been slapped in the mouth, and the original trace of joy had been swept away at this time.

Xiao Linghu understood that Sun Yuan's order was right, and now they couldn't seize all the Huishan wharves before the devils arrived, even if the 263rd Regiment captured the Huishan wharf, because they couldn't immediately sink the two warships cruising on the river, they still needed to mobilize artillery fire on the shore to expel them, how could they add another day.

If the 263rd Regiment really got the Huishan Wharf at this time, once the reinforcements behind the devils came to the shore, then this regiment would really be in a dilemma, and it would be easy to be eaten by the devils whole.

Therefore, before the devils have not docked at the port, it is the safest plan to quickly withdraw from the battlefield on the front line, and then quickly deploy defenses on the west bank of the Honghe River.

Since the devil's reinforcements are here, then they have no reason to cower here anymore, and with the devil's kind of urine, they will definitely fight back. This time I am afraid that there are still difficulties and dangers compared to the "128 Song Shanghai Anti-Japanese War" a few years ago, perhaps, the devils have made up their minds to occupy the whole of Shanghai, just like last month, they made a Lugou Bridge Incident, and finally caused the entire Beiping City to fall!

With a keen sense of war, Xiao Linghu had already felt that the situation was not good, ** had been fighting around the Japanese concession for so many days, knowing that there were only four or five thousand devils inside, and it was already surrounded on three sides, but he couldn't beat it, and he had delayed so much time in vain.

As the saying goes, time is victory, and now the devil has won time, but ** has lost the best time, and finally became like this, sometimes, Xiao Linghu really has to doubt, is **fear of war? Is it a slack? Obviously not, maybe this is where the gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies lies!

"Let's go!" Xiao Linghu also couldn't face the pathos in the 263rd Regiment, in the past few days of fighting, he himself unconsciously regarded himself as a member of the 263rd Regiment, cheering for their victory, chagrining for their defeat, and mourning for their sacrifice!

After leaving the Catholic church, listening to the sound of gunfire in the distance, Xiao Linghu couldn't say uncomfortable. Although he tried his best, and also threw the lives of his comrades here, but he could not achieve victory, perhaps the war of resistance itself, is a kind of endless tempering of the Chinese nation, not a cold bone, and where to get the fragrance of plum blossoms? Even if you lose repeatedly, you have to fight repeatedly, and you must maintain an eternal heart to be able to persevere to the end!

"Where are we going?" Lin couldn't help but ask.

It was Zhang Shun, who looked indifferent, only following behind Xiao Linghu, eating when he had food, drinking when he had drink, beating when he said he was beating, sleeping when he said he was sleeping, he only recognized Xiao Linghu as his company commander, and didn't care about anything else.

"Go to the hospital first!" Xiao Linghu said: "Then we will go back to the division headquarters and strive to rush back to the commander's headquarters tonight!" ”

"Do you want to go back to the Chief's Department?" Lin Jinghan was a little surprised, the Commander's Department, that is, the headquarters of the Ninth Army and the Third War Zone, was located in Nanxiang Town in the western suburbs of Shanghai at this time.

"Yes!" Xiao Linghu replied: "I think the war here has changed, I don't know how it was arranged in the Chief's Department, anyway, it is useless for us to stay here now." Let's go back early! ”

"Change?" Lin shuddered and hurriedly asked, "What can change?" ”

Xiao Linghu said: "When I came out of the chief's department, I heard that 300,000 troops from all over the country had come over, preparing to deal with the possible arrival of devil reinforcements. It's just that our battle was too delayed, and we still haven't been able to drive the devil into the sea, so at this time, the devil's reinforcements came, I'm afraid that we have lost this battle! ”

Lin shuddered: "Why did you lose?" How many people can they have on the Huishan Pier? Huishan Pier is that big! Besides, we are not without artillery fire on the shore, and if he really dares to enter the river port on a large scale, we can sink them with a single grenade! ”

Xiao Linghu turned his head to look at him in surprise, and asked a little strangely, "Brother Han, why do you say this the same as Meng Fanwei?" ”

Lin was stunned, and suddenly felt that his words had indeed caught up with Xiao Meng, no wonder Xiao Linghu would look at himself like this. Relatively speaking, only Meng Fanwei, a superficial boy, would say such bragging words, and he should behave more steadily than Meng Fanwei!

Thinking of this, Lin Jinghan was also a little embarrassed.
