Zhong Jian and Shen Wei took over the command, and Zhao Lerong made the first suggestion.

At present, although Nantou Village has been captured by the armored company, the independent regiment has no extra troops at hand, and Nantou Village is in a state of no defense.

The village of Tianjing was captured by Japanese troops, and the flank of the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment was in danger.

At this time, Nanzhuang Village was garrisoned by an armored company and troops commanded by Hong Zhiqiang, Liu Jingnuan's guard company and supplementary company were stationed at the regiment headquarters, and two companies of the second company and an artillery battalion were stationed at the Naozhai Mountain position.

Of the four positions deployed by Sun Weiguo, two positions in Nantou Village and Tianjing Village have been lost, and the flanks of the regimental headquarters positions have been completely exposed.

Nanzhuang Village, the regimental headquarters position, and the Naozhai Mountain position, these three positions become a straight line from east to west, and the regimental headquarters position is located in the central position.

Zhao Lerong's suggestion was to immediately shrink the position and let the troops in Nanzhuang Village immediately withdraw to the regimental headquarters position and garrison.

When Zhao Lerong made this suggestion, before Zhong Jian and Shen Wei had time to express their attitude, someone in the regiment headquarters exclaimed.

"How is this possible, if the troops in Nanzhuang Village are lost, the Japanese army will all besiege the regimental position, Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong, what do you mean by this, do you want the independent regiment to be wiped out? That's right, you're a member of the Central Army, and you wish we were all wiped out by the devil soldiers. ”

After Fan Shuming heard Zhao Lerong's suggestion, he immediately stood up and looked at Zhao Lerong, his face full of anger.

After glancing at Zhao Lerong viciously, Fan Shuming immediately said to Shen Wei and Zhong Jian: "Regiment commander, political commissar, now we have to contact the cavalry battalion, we must let the troops of the cavalry battalion come back to meet us, if we don't break through at this time, I'm afraid the independent regiment will be wiped out." ”

When Sun Weiguo was in the Independent Youth League Department, Fan Shuming did not have the slightest right to speak.

Now that Shen Wei and Zhong Jian are in charge of commanding, Fan Shuming naturally has no worries, he can't wait to sell his knowledge.

"Yes, yes, this little brother is right, hurry up and transfer the cavalry battalion back, otherwise we will all die here. I myself am ready to sacrifice my life for the country, but I have to protect these reporters, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Chief Yan. ”

Tang Chunhua looked at Zhong Jian and Shen Wei, and Fan Shuming's words won his approval.

Although he kept saying that it was for the safety of reporters, he was only for his own safety, and he didn't want to throw his life here.

Zhong Jian and Shen Wei glanced at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but look towards the map.

Zhao Lerong watched them staring at the map, his brows furrowed tightly, he was worried that they would command indiscriminately.

"Or give an order to the troops according to Chief of Staff Zhao's suggestion, and let Hong Zhiqiang and Yin Jinshan lead the troops to withdraw." Zhong Jian hesitated, and he said softly.

Shen Wei nodded, and she also agreed to let the troops of Nanzhuang Village withdraw to the regimental headquarters position.

Fan Shuming heard Zhong Jian and Shen Wei's orders, his face showed a puzzled expression, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, you can't do this, doing so will make the independent regiment completely wiped out by the little devils." Fan Shuming said bitterly.

"Xiao Fan, don't say it, take good care of your radio station." Shen Wei said lightly.

Fan Shuming's face turned red, he glanced at Zhao Lerong hatefully, and sat on the chair with an angry face.

On the position in Nanzhuang Village, Zhang Dajun's reconnaissance platoon had returned to the position, and they had already received the news from the pilot.

When they reported that the pilot had committed suicide and martyrdom, Yoon Jinshan had a regretful expression on his face.

Coming from a German graduation in the armored corps, he knew how important airplanes and tanks were in warfare.

Armored troops can be trained in a short period of time, but pilots cannot be trained in a short period of time.

The sacrifice of every pilot is an irreparable loss to the country, especially to backward China.

"Company Commander Yin, the regiment headquarters has conveyed an order, let us immediately abandon the position in Nanzhuang Village."

Hong Zhiqiang, who was covered in dirt and blood, came to Yin Jinshan, and he said with a solemn expression.

Looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment on the battlefield, Hong Zhiqiang showed an unwilling expression on his face.

He didn't understand why Sun Weiguo would give such an order, but Hong Zhiqiang planned to fight to the death with the Japanese army here in Nanzhuang Village.

It's just that Hong Zhiqiang didn't know that in order not to affect the morale of the officers and soldiers of Nanzhuang Village, the regiment headquarters did not notify them of the loss of Tianjing Village and Sun Weiguo's injury and coma.

Yin Jinshan held the binoculars and glanced at the Japanese troops, he immediately put down the binoculars and said, "Red battalion commander, you lead the infantry to evacuate first, and our armored company will cover behind." In addition, weapons and ammunition can be loaded onto trucks, and I will transport them back for you. ”

Because there was an armored company here in Nanzhuang Village to assist in the defense, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing, Kiyozaburo Okazaki, gave the order to temporarily stop the attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers began to strengthen their positions while quickly collecting the abandoned weapons of the Japanese troops in front of the positions.

At present, there are hundreds of trophies of Type 38 rifles here in Nanzhuang Village, but the troops led by Hong Zhiqiang have suffered heavy losses.

The platoon commander Yue Wu was wiped out in three companies, and all the nine platoons in the third company were killed from the platoon commander down, and the reconnaissance platoon reinforced by Zhang Dajun and one guard squad were only able to barely make up two squads of soldiers at present, and these soldiers were all traumatized to varying degrees.

A machine-gun platoon and a mortar platoon were also wiped out, and the first and third companies of the infantry battalion were all wiped out, and the number of casualties exceeded 300, which was the largest casualty figure since the establishment of the independent regiment.

And that's not counting the figures of the replenishment company and the wounded, if these figures are counted, the casualties of the separate regiment already exceed four hundred.

Now the only ones that the independent regiment can mobilize are Yin Jinshan's armored company and Liu Jingnuma's guard company, and the other troops have suffered heavy casualties.

Hong Zhiqiang knew that the armored company could be described as a strong soldier, so he nodded and agreed.

After first asking the infantry to load weapons and ammunition into trucks, Hong Zhiqiang immediately led the troops to evacuate.

Yin Jinshan held the binoculars and observed for a while, and he returned to the Type 89 tank.

Deputy company commander Zhao Lin commanded the anti-tank artillery platoon and infantry platoon to guard against the Japanese army from carrying out a surprise attack at this time.

The independent regiment has reached the point of breaking its bones at present, but it is a miracle that their regiment has been able to hold on to the present in the face of the attack of more than 10,000 devil soldiers.

If other troops were to hold on, I am afraid that they might not be able to hold on for so long.
