The officers of the artillery battalion began to leave the regimental headquarters, and they began to deploy troops to go to Naozhai Mountain.

Liu Xi was left behind by Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo sat on the chair opposite Liu Xi, and he looked at Liu Xi.

Liu Xi, who was stared at by Sun Weiguo, was obviously very nervous, he pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands at a loss, and showed a very embarrassed expression on his face.

"You didn't do anything wrong last time, everyone thinks from different angles, so I can't say who is right and who is wrong. I don't want to have a gap between you and me because of what happened last time, this time I let you go to Naozhai Mountain to garrison, there is also a reason, you have a flexible mind, I believe you can complete this task. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Liu Xi in front of him, and he said in a solemn tone.

Let Liu Xi garrison Naozhai Mountain to cover the artillery troops, this is what Sun Weiguo has thought about after some thought.

But others inevitably seem to have other ideas, Sun Weiguo is not worried about other people's opinions, he is just worried that Liu Xi will think more.

"Deputy Regiment Commander, last time I objected to you stationing in Chengguan Town, but I was worried that the troops would be exhausted, so that we would not only fight the troops, but also be unable to protect the people. It turned out that your strategy was right, and I should have trusted you more at the time. Liu Xi lowered his head and said with some guilt.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head again, looked at Sun Weiguo, and looked at the expression on Sun Weiguo's face, Liu Xi continued to say:

"Deputy Regiment Commander, I know the importance of the position in Naozhai Mountain, and you sent me to garrison Naozhai Mountain, which is a trust in me. I don't have any ideas, you can rest assured, as long as our second company is still there, I will definitely defend the position of Naozhai Mountain. ”

Listening to Liu Xi's words, Sun Weiguo nodded, he stood up from the chair, and after walking to Liu Xi's side, Sun Weiguo gently patted Liu Xi's shoulder.

The eyes of the two people met each other, and neither of them was talking, but they understood each other's thoughts.

Liu Xi saluted Sun Weiguo, and he strode out towards the outside of the regiment headquarters.

At one o'clock in the afternoon on Chinese New Year's Eve, Shi Shi, commander of the artillery battalion, led the first artillery company, the second artillery company, and the second infantry company into the Naozhai Mountain position.

At the same time, all units of the independent regiment entered a state of battle, and each unit began to enter the preset position with Chengguan Town as the center.

The people also began to be evacuated, and each family received money from the Independent Regiment.

The military families of Nanzhuang Village were also temporarily transferred, and the godmother recognized by Sun Weiguo was taken away by several military families for transfer.

Chinese people have a strong sense of homeland, and no one is willing to leave their homeland unless they are forced to do so.

Sun Weiguo did not leave the regiment headquarters, he was a little afraid to face these people who had left their homes, he was afraid to see the reluctant eyes of the people.

This is a shame, a shame for soldiers, even the common people cannot be protected, this is the saddest thing for contemporary soldiers.

But Sun Weiguo knows very well what kind of fierce attack the Japanese army will have this time, I am afraid that the independent regiment will be exhausted, and it will not be able to protect these people.

What he could do was to let the people evacuate in advance, with his knowledge of the Japanese, once the Japanese army captured Chengguan Town, the people here would definitely be slaughtered like crazy.

"We want to meet Chief Sun, you let us meet Chief Sun."

"We're not here to make trouble, we just want to meet Chief Sun, don't get me wrong."

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside the door, Sun Weiguo heard this sound, and he immediately walked outside.

At present, the security of the regimental headquarters is jointly responsible for a guard company of the Jin Sui Army and Wang Erzhu's guard platoon, and of course the task of the Jin Sui Army Guard Company is to protect the reporters.

Outside the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo saw many people standing on the street, arguing with the soldiers of the Jin Sui army.

After seeing Sun Weiguo come out, the people stopped making noise, and an old man about fifty years old came to Sun Weiguo with a young man in his twenties.

"Old man, do you have anything to do? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, and I'll definitely help you out. ”

Sun Weiguo came to the old man, he said softly, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Chief Sun, this is the only son in my family, please let him follow you to fight devils." The old man pointed to the young man in front of him and said with a firm expression.

Hearing that the young man in front of him was the only son of the old man, Sun Weiguo had an embarrassed expression on his face, he didn't want the old man to have no son to take care of.

"Old man, let him be filial by your side." Sun Weiguo said softly.

He glanced at the people in front of him, and then he realized that most of the people in front of him were young people.

"Sir Sun, I'm going to fight devils too." The young man said in a solemn tone, his hands clenching into fists, probably from nervousness.

The young man looked at Sun Weiguo, and seeing that Sun Weiguo did not agree, he became a little anxious, and his eyes gradually became pleading.

"Sir Sun, I don't want him to be filial in front of me, now that the national crisis is at hand, everyone has the responsibility to fight against the Japanese invaders. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been both, I am willing to let him be loyal to the country, today you have to accept him no matter what, let him follow you to fight devils, so that even if I die, I have no regrets. ”

The old man said excitedly, he watched Sun Weiguo's gaze gradually change, and he became pleading.

Sun Weiguo glanced at the old man in front of him, and then at the young man, he nodded and accepted the young man.

Many civilians left their homes, but they knew that the Independence Regiment would face an attack by the Japanese army.

A hot-blooded young man was reluctant to leave with his family, and they came to the regiment headquarters, hoping to join the independent regiment to fight devils.

The gray-haired father sent his only son to join the army, and the gentle and virtuous wife sent her husband to join the army.

A young man separated from his relatives, and they resolutely came to the regiment headquarters to join the independent regiment.

Sun Weiguo's heart is very complicated, and it is very difficult for Sun Weiguo for these young people to join the army.

But when he looked at their pleading eyes, Sun Weiguo couldn't bear to refuse, he could only agree.

More than 150 young men joined the Independence Regiment, all young men in their twenties, who were determined to fight to the death against the invasion of the devil soldiers.

Sun Weiguo organized these youths into a supplementary company, and he temporarily dispatched Wang Erzhu, the platoon commander of the guard platoon, to train these youths.

The post of commander of the supplementary company was concurrently held by Chen Yang, deputy commander of the infantry battalion.

The sky gradually became dark, and from time to time there was the sound of gunfire from recruits in Chengguan Town.

Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong stood in front of the map, and they constantly simulated the possible offensive route of the Japanese army in front of the map.

At the same time, the troops of the Chinese garrison corps began to quietly march towards the territory of Pingding County, and the curtain of a major battle had been secretly opened.
