Chapter 124: Withdrawal from the Forward Position
Regarding Chen Qingzhi's words, Fang Xiaodong naturally nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but say: "The soldiers are very hard-working, and they don't want to die at all when they fight the little devils, although the little devils say that they are desperately attacking, they are all desperately beaten down by the soldiers!" ”
Speaking of this, Fang Xiaodong said with some emotion: "This batch of recruits is very good!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi said: "The commander uses his life, and the soldiers naturally use their lives!" As the saying goes, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears! What commander brings out what soldiers, these soldiers can have such growth, and you, the regiment commander, have made great contributions! ”
Fang Xiaodong didn't even dare to say it.
After a brief chat, Chen Qingzhi asked, "What is the loss of your regiment now?" ”
"The loss is not small!" Hearing this, Fang Xiaodong restrained his expression and said very seriously: "Our regiment undertook the defense task of this position, facing the main force of the Japanese army, although it also blocked the attack of the Japanese Sixth Brigade and caused a lot of casualties to the little devils, but our losses are not small!" ”
"The first battalion now has less than two hundred people left, almost an empty shelf, the second battalion and the third battalion are in a slightly better situation, but the losses are all more than two-thirds, so far, our first regiment has lost more than two-thirds of its strength, and the entire regiment has less than a thousand people left!"
When he said this, Fang Xiaodong's face showed a sad expression, and there was some sadness.
Chen Qingzhi was also quite emotional.
He has equipped the troops of the independent brigade as much as possible, and even sent an artillery regiment, but with such equipment and firepower configuration, he also occupies a geographical advantage, so he can play such a record with the little devil!
The combat power of the Japanese army can be seen, and it is not easy for a regiment of soldiers to hold on to it until now!
Looking at Fang Xiaodong, who was still in deep pain, Chen Qingzhi patted the other party's shoulder and said comfortingly: "As a soldier, it is their honor to be able to die on the battlefield!" And being able to kill the enemy is an honor within an honor! A regiment of warriors is good! was able to withstand the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army, and also inflicted a painful blow on them, this kind of record, even if it is put in the whole country, it is one of the few! ”
"Fang Xiaodong, the soldiers will not die in vain! They deserved to die! Chen Qingzhi said: "The dead brothers have gone, and we who are alive will continue to stand up and fight against the Japanese army, Fang Xiaodong, at this time, we should stand up even more, strengthen our beliefs, and continue to fight with the little devils unyieldingly!" ”
"With the last wishes of the martyrs and the brothers who died in battle, we will strive to drive the Japanese army out of China as soon as possible!"
Chen Qingzhi's words, like the sound of Huanghuang, shocked Fang Xiaodong who was in a sad mood, and when he heard Chen Qingzhi's words, Fang Xiaodong restrained his emotions, stood up and looked at Chen Qingzhi and said, "Brigade, you are right!" ”
"The dead brothers died with glory, and we who are alive naturally have to continue to fight against the Japanese army with their last wishes!"
"Only by killing devils, constantly killing devils, and driving the little devils out of China is the greatest consolation for the brothers who died!"
Fang Xiaodong swept away the previous depression, and a vigorous battle intent surged up and down his body, looking at the station of the Ninth Division in the distance, his eyes showed a strong battle intent!
Fang Xiaodong's change, Chen Qingzhi's eyes looked at it, seeing that Fang Xiaodong had woken up, Chen Qingzhi smiled slightly, then patted the other party's shoulder, and said softly: "This time I came to convey an order to you!" ”
"Please show me!"
Hearing this, Fang Xiaodong hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said with a full heart.
As he spoke, the battle intent in his body soared, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.
In Fang Xiaodong's opinion, the brigade seat will definitely give him orders to fight, and even send additional reinforcements to himself.
However, just as Fang Xiaodong was imagining with anticipation, he heard Chen Qingzhi say: "I order you to withdraw from the position in the south of the city, abandon the outer position, and return to Dingyuan to repair!" ”
"Yes, I promise to complete the task, hold the position, and never let ...... What? Hearing this, Fang Xiaodong subconsciously responded, but halfway through his words, he understood what Chen Qingzhi meant, and suddenly his mouth grew up, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
He could barely believe his ears.
Fall back? Abandonment of positions? Why is that?
Before Fang Xiaodong could ask, he heard Chen Qingzhi say, "Fang Xiaodong, you must be wondering why I gave this order, right?" ”
Fang Xiaodong nodded silently, wanting Chen Qingzhi to give a reason.
They held the position for so long and lost so many people before they held this position, but now the brigade seat told them to retreat and give up this position with a word, Fang Xiaodong was a little difficult to accept.
But he didn't raise any objections, but looked at Chen Qingzhi with an inquiring look, he knew that the brigade would definitely give a reason.
"Your regiment held the position in the south of the city, resisted the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army, and caused great damage to the little devil, which made the arrogance of the little devil a big blow!"
"The art of war has clouds, one drum of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion! The Japanese army came with great momentum, and naturally planned to take down our Dingyuan in one go, but the ambush in Shuanglong Valley wiped out the 7th Wing, the vanguard of the Japanese army, which was equivalent to destroying the first drum of the Japanese army! ”
"And send your regiment to garrison the position in the south of the city, strictly defend it, and let the Japanese Sixth Brigade lose its troops and lose an inch, which will extinguish the second breath of the Japanese army!"
"The little devils have been deflated in our hands twice in a row, and they will definitely attack with great fanfare next, wanting to vent fiercely, so they will definitely launch the most fierce attack next!"
When he heard this, Fang Xiaodong couldn't help but nod in agreement, although he didn't really understand what Chen Qingzhi said about the art of war, but the Japanese army didn't get any benefits in these two battles, and the little devil would definitely go crazy next.
And when the brigade said this, Fang Xiaodong had already vaguely understood what the brigade was going to say next.
Chen Qingzhi continued: "If your regiment is stationed in the southern position of the city at this time, it will definitely usher in the most crazy attack of the Japanese army, and at that time, I am afraid that your regiment will suffer heavy losses, and there will even be the danger of annihilation!" ”
"But now, if you lead your troops to withdraw from the position in the south of the city and move to Dingyuan County for repair, then the Japanese army who wants to vent will definitely pounce! And when the time comes, the morale and fighting spirit that they have managed to accumulate will plummet, and when that time comes......"
In the next words, Chen Qingzhi didn't have the savings to continue, but Fang Xiaodong already understood the meaning of the brigade.
Next, the Japanese army failed to attack three times, and the last one was empty, the morale of the little devils must have plummeted, and the will to attack was also greatly reduced, plus all their troops withdrew to the city at this time.
Condescendingly, defending the city, facing the Japanese army that has no will to fight, the odds of victory will definitely be much greater!
What's more, when the Japanese army, which has no will to fight and has low morale, will definitely further increase its losses when attacking the city!
