Chapter XXXVII: Deserters
A platoon commander of the fourth battalion was a small boss on a certain hill in the Jigong Mountains, and all the brothers in his platoon were his former subordinates, and the devil fell three shells in a row into his platoon, and more than half of the brothers in one platoon were killed at that time.
This former hero on Dabie Mountain, looking at the seven or eight remaining brothers around him, his heart was like a knife, and he wanted to go to the little devil for revenge, but he couldn't take a step forward, and he should have felt angry in his heart, but he was full of panic at the moment.
His eyes secretly glanced at Huang Sanpao's position, and saw that he, the battalion commander, was engrossed in shooting at the devils, and the company commander was also fighting with the soldiers, and no one noticed his platoon for the time being. The resentment in the platoon commander's heart came out at that time, Lao Tzu's brother died so much, and there was not even a single person to watch, hum! I'm gone!
This self-comforting reason, holding a few brothers around him, quietly retreated from the position.
I'm afraid that someone will take the lead in everything. In Huang Sanpao's battalion, most of them were heroes on Dabie Mountain, and some people led them back, and they were immediately seen by others. There are one and there are two, some people do it first, and some people follow the same example, three or two in groups, four or five in a group, and those heroes who joined later on Dabie Mountain have retreated from the positions of the four battalions.
At the beginning, Huang Sanpao really didn't care, he was thinking about fighting to the death with the little devil, both eyes were staring at the devil who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to what was happening around him at all. More and more people ran back, and the guards beside Huang Sanpao saw it, "Battalion commander, there are deserters!" The guards shouted loudly at Huang Sanpao's ear, the guns on the battlefield were too loud to be heard.
Huang Sanpao turned his head and chuckled in his heart. "Damn! These cowards! Huzi, go stop them for me! Huang Sanpao gave a loud order to his guard platoon commander, and his fierce eyes made Huzi, who had followed him for more than ten years, tremble.
"Okay!" The guard platoon commander knows the temper of the boss very well, since Huang Sanpao has given him this task at this juncture, what exactly do you want him to do, Huzi knows it very well in his heart. To tell the truth, what Huzi wants to do most now is to persuade Huang Sanpao, the devil is attacking so fiercely, should we also withdraw? But he didn't dare, he could only say this by Huang Sanpao himself. Looking at Huang Sanpao's current state, he dared to say that he was retreating, and Huang Sanpao could kill him with his own hands! Since the big boss is determined to fight the little devil to the end, then he will die on this position with the boss. That's nothing, anyway, the former brothers are almost gone now, and there is nothing wrong with being able to go down and be with the brothers, and everyone is lively! As for now, it's better to carry out the boss's order and give this group of turtle grandchildren who are running away to take a look!
The guard platoon commander went down with more than a dozen people, Huang Sanpao didn't even blink, and the two box cannons in both hands kept spraying tongues of fire, shooting at the little devils in front. Since he chose to resist these devils and wanted to improve his image in front of Gao Quan, Huang Sanpao did not regret it. Want him to give up halfway, withdraw from the position he has been fighting for a long time, and become a deserter? That's never! It was only said that the five hundred brothers who followed him down from Jinjiling, and now there are not even a hundred left, and the rest are all dead in the hands of the little devil, and Huang Sanpao cannot be withdrawn.
Today's game is a dead end, and Huang Sanpao knows in his heart that from the moment he rushed up with the fourth battalion, he and his brothers had no way out. As long as he dares to take a step back from here, even if Gao Quan doesn't shoot him, in the future, in the 500 Brigade, he and all the brothers in Jinjiling will never have a bright day! Even if he wiped out all the brothers in the four battalions today, he couldn't take a step back! In addition, Huang Sanpao didn't believe that Gao Quan and Qian Sixi could watch his four battalions fight hard, as long as he could hold on for a while, maybe the reinforcements behind him would come up. As long as he can guarantee that he will not die, when the reinforcements come up, he will be able to stand firm in this army from now on!
Qian Sixi was just behind the fourth battalion. He was the commander of the regiment, and he had three battalions under his command, and the fourth battalion was one of the main battalions. Huang Sanpao's guess was right, it was impossible for Qian Sixi to watch a battalion under his command wipe out. The tragedy of the battle in front and the large-scale desertion incident on the position, Qian Sixi can see it clearly. Even the guard platoon commander under Huang Sanpao, named Huzi, led the guard platoon to shoot deserters wantonly, he could see it clearly.
To the left of Qian Sixi is his sixth battalion, which is completely composed of heroes on Jigong Mountain. The sixth battalion was collectively adapted from the heroes on the Feiyun Village of Jigong Mountain, who had placed a knife forest and an oil pot array for Gao Quan. The battalion commander of this battalion is Jin Feilong, the owner of Feiyun Village, and is now the major commander of the 6th Battalion of the 501st Regiment of the 500th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army.
The battle of the four battalions in front of Jin Feilong also saw it. His sixth battalion was on the left flank of the regimental headquarters, and now there were also troops fighting with the devils. While commanding his troops to maintain formation, Jin Feilong paid attention to the fourth battalion of the Yellow Third Artillery in front, if the fourth battalion collapsed, it would definitely be a disaster for their entire 501st Regiment. The devils who have heavy artillery to open the way will definitely drive straight in, and the remaining two battalions of the 501st Regiment will definitely be even more difficult if they want to reorganize the defense. Now not only Qian Sixi, not only Jin Feilong, but all the officers and soldiers of the 501st Regiment have tied their hearts to the 4th Battalion, which is withstanding the onslaught of Japanese artillery.
To say that there were deserters in the fourth battalion, the most embarrassed battalion commander on his face at this time was not Huang Sanpao of the party, he didn't have that kung fu, and the one who felt the most embarrassed was Jin Feilong. He came down from Jigong Mountain, and he was also the first to serve as a major battalion commander, and he was in the same regiment as the deserters of the fourth battalion. Seeing those people in the fourth battalion retreating in panic, Jin Feilong's face was hot, as if someone had slapped him in the face.
Seeing Huzi leading the guards in the back to chase and shoot the deserters, Jin Feilong's teeth creaked. Never before had he felt so ashamed of his growing age. These turtle grandchildren! Jin Feilong seemed to be able to feel Huang Sanpao's disdainful eyes and disdainful face.
The herald sent an order from the regimental headquarters: the sixth battalion went up to reinforce the fourth battalion.
Jin Feilong glanced at the position of the regiment headquarters, and felt a little grateful in his heart. Qian Sixi sent him at such a time, which was his trust in him, and it also gave him a chance to correct the name of the heroes of Jigong Mountain!
Everyone is doing business without capital, they are all from thieves, why should he come down from Luliang Mountain, he can fight, he can become a hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, I come out of Dabie Mountain, I must become a soft egg, as a deserter? Jin Feilong was not convinced. Of course he is not convinced, in terms of personal Wen Taowu strategy, in terms of the manpower of his subordinates, which point is he inferior to Huang Sanpao and Chang Zhankui? Why do you want those turtle grandsons to tarnish the prestige of his Jin Da battalion commander? Today, he must play the majesty of Jigong Mountain and show it to everyone!
