The 256th Regiment lost its position! Although they were withdrawn on the orders of the division commander, they lost their positions, and everyone from the regiment commander to the soldiers felt disgraced.

Gao Quan doesn't care about this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that it is now the 1937 year of the Anti-Japanese War, which is the most arrogant time for the devils. The fact that the 256th Regiment was able to withdraw from the defensive positions in a complete formation and not be wiped out by all the devils or formed into a group of stragglers already shows that the combat effectiveness of this unit is considerable.

The commander of the Ninth Army was General Hao Mengling, who was also the commander-in-chief of the Central Corps. When General Hao heard that his Ninth Army had been defeated by devils and had lost the position of Nanhuaihua, he was furious on the spot, and while ordering the troops to immediately organize a counterattack to recapture Nanhuaihua, he personally went to the front line to command the battle.

After receiving a call from the commander-in-chief and commander of the corps in person, the division commander Liu Jiaqi, who ordered the retreat, almost committed suicide in shame. He has always been known as a fierce general who can fight evil battles, but now he is being scolded by the army commander over the phone for being a soft egg straw bag, how can he stand it?

Hao Mengling is already on his way here, if after the army commander comes, he is still staying at the division headquarters, and the troops have not started to counterattack, I am afraid that Hao Mengling can kill him on the spot to sacrifice the flag! In order to save his face, of course, it is also to save his own life. At the critical moment of life and death, there was no room for the slightest play, and Division Commander Liu immediately ordered the cavalry battalion of the division to go to the front line, and at the same time ordered the artillery to launch a counterattack with all their might. He himself led a company of guards to meet Commander Hao. Now that the two armies are fighting fiercely, if there is any mistake in the military seat, then he will become a sinner for the ages.

With the support of the cavalry battalion and the divisional artillery battalion, after a bloody battle, the 256th Regiment finally drove down the devils on the 135th Heights. Before leaving, Division Commander Liu transferred a company from the special service battalion directly under the division headquarters and gave Xu Yun a death order, if the 256th Regiment lost its position again, Xu Yun could cut himself!

The division commander threatened the regiment commander, and the regiment commander of course threatened the battalion commander downward, pressing down one level at a time, and the 256th Regiment knew from top to bottom that even if people were killed, they could not withdraw from their positions, otherwise, they would die by military law!

Fighting is also death, retreating is still death! Since it's all a death after all, it's better to die while fighting with the little devil, at least you can be crowned a martyr after death, and your family can get some compensation after death. The fighters have such a mentality, and they are not afraid. What does the little devil have? It's not that the two of them have a head on their shoulders, and a shot is also an eye, and he has to die if he is damned!

After the Nanhuaihua position was recaptured by the Ninth Army, the devil's attacking troops suffered a lot of damage, and they could not organize a large-scale counterattack for a while. Gao Quan and the others had just breathed a sigh of relief and were about to renovate the fortifications on the high ground, when the regimental headquarters radio suddenly spread bad news: Hao Mengling, commander-in-chief of the Central Corps of the Xinkou Front and commander of the Ninth Army, was shelled by devils together with Liu Jiaqi, commander of the 54th Division, on the way to the front-line position to supervise the battle, and died in the country!

Gao Quan was stunned after hearing the news. Of course, he knew that Hao Mengling was going to die heroically at this time, but he always thought that Hao Mengling was the lieutenant general of the Ninth Army, the commander-in-chief of the Central Corps, and he was very far away from him.

The atmosphere in the regiment headquarters was very depressing, and the regiment commander Xu Yun's eyes were red, and the green tendons on his head were popping up. Xu Yun is a veteran of the Ninth Army, since he was a soldier, he has followed Hao Mengling, General Hao has always been his boss and idol, and now the idol and the division commander have blown up the little devil to death, giving him the feeling that there is nothing else but anger, at this time, let him lead the whole regiment to fight with the little devil, and he will not have the slightest hesitation!

"Whoa!" Xu Yun overturned the simple table in front of him, "Damn! Today, Lao Tzu will fight with these little devils! Brethren! It's a gentleman, just come with me to the front! Today is death, and Lao Tzu will pull two more little devils on his back! Xu Yun seemed to be in a hurry, pulled out the pistol and walked out, everyone in the regiment headquarters silently picked up the gun and followed the regiment commander out.

Of course, Gao Quan is no exception, he came to fight devils. In this kind of brutal positional warfare, there is no skill to talk about at all, that is, to pay attention to blood, whoever has a stronger will, which side is more vicious, which side can win. Now the commander of this army has finally been aroused and is ready to fight to the death with the devil, Gao Quan will only assist from the side, and strive to tilt the balance of victory to his side a little more with his own efforts, as for stopping this reckless behavior, Gao Quan thinks that it is completely unnecessary, and now our army is not too impulsive, but too calm and too lacking in impulse! If every army is impulsive, how can the little devils be so rampant? All he had to do now was get involved from the sidelines, and not let the urge become irrational.

Or the little correspondent is at the end. After the young man had collected his things without saying a word, he took a box cannon from the shelf, stood up and tried to chase it out, when the phone on the table suddenly rang. The correspondent hesitated, but still raised his hand and grabbed the microphone.

As soon as Xu Yun led the people out of the command headquarters, the wind full of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield blew, and his swollen head was slightly sober. There are several positions on this high ground of the 256th Regiment, some are at the highest point of the high ground, and some are in front and left and right, even if they want to fight with the devils, it doesn't mean that they rush out and charge at the devils with guns like this, that's not desperate, that's suicide! The devil shelled down, and the whole regiment was finished! Xu Yun is the head of a group that has been in battle for a long time, and when he looks left and right, he instantly has a plan.

"Deputy Sun, you take people to the second battalion position. The chief of staff and I went to the position of the third battalion. Senior Deputy Chief of Staff, you go to the position of the first battalion. Let's nail it to the position, the devil is coming, we can also be a warrior and fight with the devil, anyway, I don't plan to go down this position in my life! ”

When it came to Gao Quan's heart, he had already thought of the first battalion position, and now this battle was fought like this, it was too dangerous, it was better to be with the brothers, and at the critical moment, they could take care of each other. nodded in agreement at the moment, turned around and wanted to leave, when a shout suddenly came from the command headquarters: "Regiment commander!" Don't leave the regiment commander yet, the division headquarters has an order! ”

Xu Yun was stunned when he heard it, did he have any orders this time? Didn't you let yourself lead the whole group to fight with the devil? I'm already planning to do this! Shangfeng had an order, and he didn't dare not listen to it, Xu Yun waved his hand and asked everyone to wait, and strode into the command headquarters.

Hearing Xu Yun talking loudly to someone inside, it seemed that he was talking on the phone. Two minutes later, Xu Yun walked out of the regimental headquarters, his face was still a little red, as if the excitement had not passed. "Ladies and gentlemen, I just called from the division headquarters. The new commander-in-chief of the Central Corps has taken office, and it is General Chen Changjie of the 61st Army. Our Ninth Army also has a new commander, General Guo Jiqiao. General Kong Fanying was the new commander of our 54 th Division, and as soon as he took office, Commander Guo issued the first military order, in which commanders at all levels were strictly ordered to abide by their positions and not to come to the front line at will. At the same time, our army was ordered to strictly defend the defensive area and not to lose its position lightly. ”

After saying this, he turned around and entered the regimental command post. The others looked at each other for a moment, and then followed into the command post.
