Subsequently, Fu Zhiyong and others joined forces with Yu Hua's troops, and made a detour all the way to Shitai County in the southwest, preparing to retreat into Jingdezhen.

Although the main force of the army retreated south, Zhao Hu left a platoon of troops to stay in Jing County, not to defend Jing County, but to wait for Zhang Weidong and their first battalion to come to converge, once they received people, they would immediately go south to catch up with Fu Zhiyong and their vanguard.

Although the current battle situation is very chaotic, it is absolutely impossible for Fu Zhiyong to abandon the battalion that has not arrived for a long time, not to mention that most of the elite of the entire army are left in the battalion, even Zhang Weidong's person Fu Zhiyong cannot leave him.

What is Comrade-in-Arms? What is Brother? It is the comrades-in-arms who can fight side by side with you on the battlefield, and the ones who can stand up for you to resist all dangers when you encounter danger are brothers, and one more brother is one more life, which is an eternal truth, and I would rather give up my life than leave my comrades and brothers.

"Regiment commander, do you think that the Japanese army that captured Anqing will go straight to Jingdezhen and capture Nanchang from the east?" Liao Peng looked at the rows of wounded people who were being carried on stretchers, and asked Fu Zhiyong with some concern.

"I don't know, but I only know that this is our only way out, if we don't go here, then we will definitely encounter the Japanese army going south, although the risk of taking this route is not small, but there is still a chance of life." Fu Zhiyong shook his head, and he was a little uncertain in his heart, but now that it was difficult to ride a tiger, he couldn't help them make any other choices.

At the same time, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, led by Shiro Inaba, attacked directly south from Hefei north of the Yangtze River, and had broken through the two lines of defense of the Chinese army along the way, and Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army, which defended the north of Tongcheng, had been defeated by the Japanese army, and captured Tongcheng on June 13, 1938, and the 31st Army guarding Tongcheng was forced to retreat south to resist.

Three days later, on June 16, 1938, Fu Zhiyong and his team finally marched to Gantang Town with trepidation, from where they continued south to Huangshan and west to Shitai County.

"Stop! What part of you are in? Just when Fu Zhiyong and the others were less than a mile away from Gantang Town, suddenly a hundred and ten national soldiers appeared in the mountains and woods on both sides of the road, each with a bayonet on their guns, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Fu Zhiyong and the others.

Due to the large number of wounded in Fu Zhiyong's troops, a large number of personnel were needed to carry the wounded in turn, so there were not many people sent out to reconnoitre, and there was only one squad or so of troops, which were divided into two groups to advance on both sides of the highway along the way.

Because this is a mountainous section, the soldiers in charge of assault reconnaissance are only less than fifty meters away from Fu Zhiyong's large army, and when the other party discovers Fu Zhiyong's scouts, they do not immediately take them down, but wait until Fu Zhiyong's large army comes before they all surround them.

"We are the troops of the new 1st Regiment of the 126th Division of the 28th Group Army of the Sichuan Army, which part are you?" Fu Zhiyong and Liao Peng glanced at each other, and shouted out of the crowd.

"Hello sir, are you really the new regiment of the 126th Division? Why did you come all the way to the defense area of our new 18th Division? As soon as Fu Zhiyong's words fell, more than 20 people immediately ran down from the woods on the mountain beam under the leadership of a lieutenant officer, first looked at Fu Zhiyong and Liao Peng's badges vigilantly, and waited until they were confirmed to give a military salute to Fu Zhiyong and asked inexplicably.

"If you don't retreat this way, where else can you go? The 142nd Division abandoned the Jingxian position and retreated to Huangshan without authorization, and the little devils may be marching behind to pursue it, our big wounded, if they also retreat to Huangshan, wouldn't they be looking for death, can they outrun others! Liao Peng said with a pouting on the side.

"The 142nd Division actually retreated? This can't be! Why haven't we heard anything from here? The lieutenant officer was stunned when he heard Liao Peng's words, and said with a look of disbelief.

"Without further ado, let us go quickly, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to explain to you here, we have already sent a telegram to the group army headquarters on the way here, as for whether you have to get the news that's your problem, get out of the way." Fu Zhiyong looked at the troops who were already extremely exhausted, and suddenly became a little impatient, frowning and waving to the lieutenant and whispering.

"This ...... Sir, can you please ask my superiors first, I really can't let you go before I get the order, I received a death order that you must not let a single soldier pass through here, please don't embarrass your subordinates. The lieutenant officer explained to Fu Zhiyong with a sad face.

"I don't need you to ask for advice, He Xue! Call me the communications corps, and I will directly contact the headquarters of the 28th Group Army. Fu Zhiyong said that let you be a lieutenant and deputy company commander to ask for instructions on which life you have to wait for us to pass, and immediately turned around and shouted to He Xue in the team.

"Yes, regiment commander, the communications squad immediately set up a radio station and called the headquarters of the 28th Group Army, and the regiment commander asked for a ...... call" He Xue agreed, and then beckoned his subordinates to start setting up a radio station on the spot to prepare for communication with the headquarters of the 28th Group Army.

“…… The two of you will immediately go back to the division headquarters and report the situation here. As soon as the lieutenant officer saw that such a trivial matter was about to be stabbed at the headquarters of the group army, he immediately whispered to the two soldiers behind him, asking them to run and inform the division headquarters of the situation, so as not to make any mess and end badly, and he had to carry this black cauldron.

"Well......," the two soldiers nodded, then turned around with their rifles on their backs and ran out.

"Commander Fu, please wait, such a trivial matter will alarm the headquarters of the group army, if there is really any misunderstanding, the subordinates will not be able to pay this responsibility, otherwise, the subordinates will personally bring your subordinates into Shitai County." The lieutenant officer didn't look at the two soldiers who ran out to report the message, and directly stepped forward to deal with Zhiyong with a humble attitude and said with a smile.

There is no one in the 28th Group Army who does not know what kind of unit the new regiment is, and everyone can afford to have a radio station only in division-level troops.

"He Xue, stop, since you don't need to trouble the group army headquarters, then we don't need to contact again, Liao Peng gave the order, and the troops continued to advance vigilantly." After Fu Zhiyong finished speaking, he nodded to the lieutenant officer, and took the lead in continuing to walk forward......

After a brief contact with the new 18th Division, Fu Zhiyong and the others continued southward unimpeded, heading straight to Jingdezhen, preparing to let the wounded recuperate after arriving in Jingdezhen.

Although Shitai County has the new 18th Division stationed for defense, the safety is still guaranteed, but after all, Shitai County has a remote geographical location, the county seat houses are limited, even the new 18th Division itself can't settle down, and there are still many troops in rotation to rest on the position, and where did the extra houses come from to free up the wounded for Fu Zhiyong to rest, not to mention that the medicine and medical equipment are not complete, it is not helpful to treat the wounded at all, it is better to grit your teeth and hold on for a few more days, and wait until you arrive in Jingdezhen to rest well.

"Hurry, hurry...... Everyone followed, speeding up ......" After walking for a few more days, a group of national army troops ran quickly from behind Fu Zhiyong's team and chased after them.

"Which troop is this moving in a hurry?" Fu Zhiyong, Liao Peng and others hurriedly asked the troops to pull over, give the road to this army, let them pass first, don't delay the troops' march and dispatch troops, Liao Peng looked sideways at the hula la group of people running in front of him one after another, and asked a little inexplicably to deal with Zhiyong.

Although Fu Zhiyong's troops have a radio station and can receive the latest orders from the higher headquarters at any time, due to power problems, they have not turned on the machine for the past few days, and they do not know much about the surrounding war situation.

"Look at the badge, it should be Guo Changming's unit of the 56th Army." Fu Zhiyong swept the badges of the soldiers running in front of him one by one and said uncertainly, after all, their speed was too fast, and they passed in a flash, and they didn't see it very really, Fu Zhiyong didn't know what task they were performing, so he didn't dare to stop people and ask carefully.

However, looking at their whirring and panting, compared to the fact that they have been marching for a long time, many soldiers have been vomiting while running, although it is very uncomfortable, but they still do not look like they want to stop, they all gritted their teeth and followed quickly with rifles on their backs, as if they had received some urgent order.

"Hurry, hurry...... Speed up, and the troops must not stop to rest until noon...... Metaphor! At this time, an officer with the rank of lieutenant general rode a tall horse and rushed over quickly, and then there were twenty people riding horses, constantly beckoning the troops to speed up the march, when he passed in front of Fu Zhiyong and others, he suddenly reined in the horse's head, turned the horse and walked over, looking at Fu Zhiyong and others curiously.

"The 126th Division of the 28th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the colonel of the new regiment, Fu Zhiyong, has seen the commander!"

"The 126th Division of the 28th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Liao Peng, deputy commander of the new 1st Regiment, has seen the commander!"

Fu Zhiyong saw that the lieutenant general actually turned his horse's head and walked back, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to be lazy, and immediately stood up and saluted and reported loudly, and Liao Peng, who was beside him, also immediately saluted and shouted.

"You guys are from the new regiment of the 126th Division? Is it the new regiment that inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese vanguard wing and the sneak attack on the devil artillery unit in Xuancheng? The lieutenant general didn't even deal with Zhiyong, they nodded, and asked directly.

“…… Precisely. After Fu Zhiyong heard the lieutenant general's question, he immediately glanced at Liao Peng, and then nodded affirmatively and replied.

"How many troops do you have left capable of fighting?" The lieutenant general officer then looked at Fu Zhiyong's team and continued to ask.

"Less than two companies, and one battalion of troops lost contact and didn't keep up." Fu Zhiyong replied directly without thinking about it.

"There are less than two companies left...... the lieutenant general officer frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, that's all there is left of the main force, and there are less than four hundred supplementary troops, and the rest are baggage troops, whose combat effectiveness is very poor, and they have not been trained much." Fu Zhiyong had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still told the truth.

"Take the troops you can fight and go with my people immediately, you are now temporarily under the combat formation of our 56th Army, as for your Commander Huang, I will greet him later." The lieutenant general officer gave an order directly to Zhiyong without saying anything, and his tone was firm and did not allow Fu Zhiyong to question it for a while.
