Chapter 52: On the Way Home

On this day, Fu Zhiyong convened a meeting of all the remaining company platoon commanders under his command to agree on the next action plan, after all, after this period of rest, the wounded have basically recovered, and it is time to leave for the third war zone to be rebuilt.

After the last breakthrough operation, Fu Zhiyong has realized that he can only do something stealing and touching dogs with a small number of troops to fight, and if he encounters a large number of Japanese troops, he will not have the strength to resist at all.

Fu Zhiyong originally had nearly three companies of troops under his command, but now he has less than five platoons left, which means that even those disabled soldiers who are still alive are only a little more than half of the original strength.

This is also the problem that Fu Zhiyong often has a headache, and finally pulled up another battalion of infantry from scratch, but after two battles, it turned into a remnant again, and this result was that everyone had to vomit three liters of blood.

After some research and discussion by everyone, and after soliciting the opinions of You Zhiqing, the company commander of the New Fourth Army, Fu Zhiyong and the others decided to continue to go south, go to Liyang and pass through the two counties of Langxi, and then directly pass through the buffer zone between the Japanese army and the third theater of the national army, and go to Xuancheng, an important defensive town on the outer line of the third theater, from the northeast side, and contact the headquarters of the commander of the third theater through the garrison radio there, and finally decide on the question of belonging and staying.

Although Fu Zhiyong they don't know much about the specific situation in Xuancheng, but this is already a recent route, if you don't choose to go to Xuancheng, then you can only pass through Liyang, and then turn west to bypass Gaochun, and finally enter the third theater control area on the front line of Wuhu, although the distance of the two routes is similar from the map, but the path to Wuhu is relatively much more difficult, so it will take at least one-third more time, This is not intentionally quite difficult for Fu Zhiyong's remnants, who are now short of food and grass and have disabled soldiers to take care of, and they will definitely not consider it lightly.

After everyone discussed and decided, under the urging of Fu Zhiyong, they went separately to prepare, and it only took one morning for the troops to pack up and assemble, and then after the last lunch in the station, the troops immediately set off in the direction of Xuancheng......

The Second Company of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment of the former Second Independent Division of the New Fourth Army led by You Zhiqing also escorted them all the way in accordance with Pan Guodong's order before leaving, and they could not go to Nanchang to return to the construction until Fu Zhiyong and the others arrived safely in the Third War Zone.

The second battalion and the second company led by You Zhiqing were not originally regarded as the main force in the regiment, because the regiment lacked weapons and equipment, and most of the soldiers in their company were still using the old sleeves and Hanyang-made rifles.

However, now this situation is completely different, because of Fu Zhiyong's desperate fight with the Japanese army, Pan Guodong and they harvested a large number of weapons and equipment left by the Japanese army and the national army on the battlefield at one time, You Zhiqing's department because he wanted to stay to escort Fu Zhiyong's remnants to the third theater of war to be rebuilt, so the weapons and equipment are naturally their priority to receive and equip, and now his company is basically a Chinese formal 79 rifle, and more than a dozen veterans with accurate marksmanship have received the Japanese army's 38-type rifles, The light machine gun is also equipped with a platoon, which is a mixture of two crooked light machine guns and a Czech light machine gun, due to the limited number, it is inevitable that this kind of equipment will be mixed and matched, after all, some are good to use, who cares whether it is a unified system and whether the bullet is universal......

After seven days of slow marching, Fu Zhiyong's group successfully bypassed Liyang and arrived near Langxi along the way.

"The troops in the back followed closely, taking care of the wounded and the female soldiers of the medical team, and everyone took turns to carry stretchers to maintain their physical strength and marching speed." You Zhiqing stood on the side of the team at this time, while checking the movement of the troops, and shouted loudly to the soldiers in the team.

"I said Company Commander You, you are now in high spirits, good guy, your troops have gone out for a circle, and the equipment will soon be pulled up with us, hehe......" Fu Zhiyong stood beside You Zhiqing and looked at the marching team and said with a smile to You Zhiqing.

"Sir Fu, you're joking, my You Zhiqing's team can turn over today and be used as the main company, isn't it stained with the light of Chief Fu, if it weren't for your brothers in the national army fighting bravely, we wouldn't be able to equip the Japanese army and your national army with standard weapons, but your subordinates are all good, I You Zhiqing admire it in my heart, we will fight together in the future, if one day I can fight devils and use my You Zhiqing, Sir Fu, you just need to say a word, I You Zhiqing is disobedient and will fight side by side with you to kill a little devil, Let Commander Fu see that the soldiers of our New Fourth Army are not eating dry food with Commander Fu's weapons for nothing. You Zhiqing knew that Fu Zhiyong was joking with himself, so he immediately patted his chest with joy and said.

"The weapon was originally used to deal with the little devils, and my people can't use them now and they can't be left rusty, as long as Company Commander You can use them to kill more little devils, it will be regarded as avenging my brothers who died in battle, and it will not be considered an insult to the prestige of the Zhongzheng rifle." Fu Zhiyong nodded to You Zhiqing with his hand on the holster, and said solemnly.

Although You Zhiqing's words are very good, Fu Zhiyong will not believe that he really dares to disobey the order and do it with him, if this is said by Pan Guodong, the regiment commander, Fu Zhiyong may still believe it, but how can he believe such a thing when a company commander says it, you must know that the biggest difference between the Red Army troops and the national army is that discipline is much stricter, and without the command unit above the regiment level to issue orders, it is very difficult for them to do whatever they want, otherwise the Red Army team will not be a strong monolith. That's why Fu Zhiyong didn't answer his words.

"Commander Fu, rest assured, our troops will not be instigated to fight devils against Japan, although your national army is the main force on the frontal battlefield, but when it comes to the hinterland of the enemy, it is our specialty, and we will beat the little devil at both ends in three days, ensuring that he will not be able to survive for a day." You Zhiqing followed Fu Zhiyong slowly and slowly followed the team, and said confidently to Fu Zhiyong.

"Huh...... I believe what you said, otherwise you wouldn't have survived until now. Fu Zhiyong said with a deep smile.

The units of the Red Army were particularly adept at fighting sports and guerrilla warfare, a skill they had learned in their long struggles, and they had brought to the extreme this mode of fighting that suited them best.

Although there are many high-ranking generals in the Red Army's units who came from military academies and martial arts halls, their combat methods are not rigid and blindly emphasizing frontal combat, but they can be flexible and flexible according to their own characteristics, give full play to their own advantages, strike at the enemy's weakest points, and inflict heavy losses on the enemy.

"Battalion Commander Fu, you have something to say, what do you mean......" You Zhiqing was stunned when he looked at Fu Zhiyong's strange expression, and then understood what he was referring to, but before he could finish speaking, Zhao Hu strode back from the front of the team.

In the breakout battle in Jurong, Li Qiusheng's assault reconnaissance squad was almost wiped out, and it was Li Qiusheng's assault reconnaissance squad that made a detour to attack the Japanese artillery position, Li Qiusheng and a lucky soldier were only stunned by the Japanese grenade when they launched an attack on the Japanese headquarters, and they were quickly rescued by Zhang Weidong at the end of the battle.

The other nine soldiers were not so lucky, Zhang Weidong and Liao Peng rescued only one soldier who was very seriously injured when they were rescuing the wounded, but unfortunately he died of excessive blood loss while waiting for the rescue.

Because the casualties of the assault reconnaissance squad were too large, most of the squad led by Zhao Hu had to be temporarily assigned to Li Qiusheng's assault reconnaissance squad to play the role of a pioneer.

"Battalion commander, we have reached the outer defense line of the Japanese army, and further on, there is a large number of barbed wire fences arranged by the devils to block the combat buffer zone, the field of vision is very wide, and there are no strongholds and turrets of the devils nearby, Li Qiusheng asked me to come back and ask for instructions on whether to advance directly." Zhao Hu ran in front of Fu Zhiyong and didn't care about saluting, so he said directly.

"What do you think, Company Commander You?" Fu Zhiyong nodded and then asked You Zhiqing beside him.

Fu Zhiyong's intelligence is very closed, and they don't know anything about the situation in this area, but You Zhiqing's troops are much more flexible, and they also know the surrounding situation and the situation of the enemy and the enemy very clearly, so Fu Zhiyong did not blindly give orders, but asked for his opinion.

"After our New Fourth Army's preliminary reconnaissance of this area, this is one of the relatively weak areas of the Japanese army in the warring buffer zone, and it is impossible for the devil garrisons in Langxi and Dongxia to reach here in a short time, and the nearest Japanese stronghold here is only less than a small team of Japanese guards, and it is easy not to patrol such a far place, besides, we have been walking for a week, if we don't go through it directly, our food will bottom out, and we are not allowed to make a detour to the Wuhu area at all." You Zhiqing discerned the terrain left and right before dealing with Zhiyong.

"It seems that we have no choice but to move on, Zhao Hu, immediately inform Li Qiusheng of them, the troops will march in a straight line, let him be careful in front, the devil will not put such a big hole for no reason, regardless of only pulling the barbed wire, be careful." Fu Zhiyong thought about it for a while, and now there is only one way to go in a straight line, and then ordered Zhao Hu.

"Understood." After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he turned around, hugged the rifle, and ran out quickly in the direction he came.

"Report to the company commander, no situation has been found in the east." At this time, a soldier of the New Fourth Army also trotted back and reported to You Zhiqing, and without waiting for You Zhiqing to say anything, he turned around and ran out again.
