Soon, Lao Maozi, who retreated to the starting position, found that he was surrounded by the Liaodong Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 1,000 Liaodong troops, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, continued to advance and directly compressed themselves on a narrow official road no more than 200 meters long.

What's more, after the meaningless attack just now, the remaining remnants of the regiment commander were defeated by less than 300 people, and they were all soldiers who had no physical strength and no combat effectiveness.

Because, in the battle that had just broken through, all the subordinates who had a little physical strength rushed to the front and died under the guns of the Liaodong Army.

looked at the Liaodong Army around him, and looked at the subordinates around him who had almost no combat effectiveness.

The head of the regiment finally had a desperate expression on his face.

After sitting on the ground with a decadent face, before the regiment commander could speak, the deputy battalion commander on the side said with despair.

"Commander, we're done......"

"It must be that after the division commander successfully broke through, all the main forces of the Liaodong Army were used on us......"

"We still have less than three hundred subordinates, and we have almost no combat effectiveness, what should we do next, please ask the regiment commander to make a decision as soon as possible."

The regiment commander said desperately and helplessly: "What can I do, there is no medicine, no food, and there is no place to defend...... Here, for every minute of our delay, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be weakened by a point......"

"Looking around us, more than 1,000 Liaodong troops were staring at us, dozens of light and heavy machine guns were aimed at us, and more than a dozen mountain guns were constantly firing at us...... What do you want me to do with this situation that is completely unfavorable to us? ”

In the face of the regiment commander's dissatisfaction and questioning, all the battalion commander could do was to remain silent.

Maybe it's because I see the atmosphere around me becoming more and more solemn because of my words.

After a short period of contemplation, the regimental commander still opened his mouth to order.

"Soldiers who can still move, work hard, and be on guard around them. The heavy machine guns that can also be used are all deployed around for defense......"

"Other soldiers, take out all the horse meat they carry with them and eat them to replenish their physical strength, so that more soldiers can recover some physical strength...... Only with physical strength. Only then can the officers and men have combat effectiveness and fight against the Liaodong Army......"

"Yes, Commander......"

With the order, it is possible to hope for life.

So. As soon as the regiment commander's order arrived, more than two hundred old Maozi moved.

At this moment, their purpose is not to defeat the Liaodong Army, nor is it for war exploits.

Their purpose is very simple, but it is also difficult to achieve. That is to live.

At this time, Yang Xingguo, who received the troops surrounding Lao Maozi's rearguard, also came to the forefront of the battlefield under the protection of the guards.

However, the first thing Yang Xingguo saw was not Lao Maozi's guard, but Wu Xin, the cavalry battalion commander with an excited face.

"Commander...... The cavalry battalion successfully completed the task and came to resume his life, asking the commander to issue a new combat mission......" Wu Xin, who still had a strong smell of blood on his body, reported directly in front of Yang Xingguo.

Yang Xingguo was very satisfied with the performance of the cavalry battalion on the battlefield.

So. After seeing Wu Xin, Yang Xingguo's first reaction was to be happy. He said with a satisfied face to Wu Xin: "Battalion Commander Wu, congratulations, from now on, the cavalry battalion has completely formed combat effectiveness......

"Tell me, how many old Maozi your cavalry battalion has killed and how many brothers you have lost......"

"Yes...... Commander ......" Wu Xin said excitedly.

"The cavalry battalion killed a total of 428 Lao Maozi, and each brother killed two Lao Maozi on average......"

"As for ourselves, we lost a total of 38 brothers...... 31 were killed in battle, and 7 were wounded and incapacitated. ”

"Also. We also captured 68 old Maozi, almost all of them artillerymen......"

Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You really captured more than 60 artillerymen of Lao Maozi?" ”

"Yes, Commander. Artillery ...... It's just that these artillerymen are poisoned, their bodies are very weak, and they need to be treated immediately......" Wu Xin affirmed loudly, his words full of pride.

"Wow......" Yang Xingguo said excitedly.

"With these old Maozi artillery, the combat effectiveness of our artillery. It will definitely improve the ...... As long as the brothers have learned all the techniques in the hands of Lao Maozi's artillerymen, from now on, our artillery can shoot at Lao Maozi, and we no longer have to be turtles with shrunken heads......"

Wu Xin's brows furrowed, and he asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief: "Let the old Maozi artillery give us our lives...... Commander, I heard you right......"

"We killed so many of them, thank God they didn't hate us, how could they give us their lives......"

Yang Xingguo did not deny it, and said directly: "It is indeed impossible to give us your life willingly......"

"However, we can find a way to force them to work for us......"

Speaking of this, a sneer quickly flashed on Yang Xingguo's face.

Before Wu Xin could react, Yang Xingguo followed up and asked, "Battalion Commander Wu, how many artillery pieces and shells have we captured......

"One artillery battalion with eighteen mountain artillery ......"

"As for the shells, a total of 10 cars and 1,000 rounds......"

Hearing this, Yang Xingguo had already thought of a way to let Lao Maozi artillery work for himself.

His eyes lit up, and he ordered Wu Xin: "Battalion Commander Wu, these old Maozi artillerymen are treasures, and they have shown me ......"

"Also, take out a company and go to the artillery battalion to transfer twenty artillery ......"

"There are two companies left, let me clean up the captured mountain artillery, I will be of great use in a while......"

In less than ten minutes, the commander of the first company of the artillery battalion came to Yang Xingguo with 20 artillery pieces to report.

Yang Xingguo did not hesitate, and pointed to more than sixty Lao Maozi prisoners dozens of meters away and ordered.

"Company Commander Li, do you see those old Maozi prisoners and artillery? The task I gave you is very simple, make use of all the eighteen artillery pieces captured, let the Lao Maozi prisoners operate the artillery, and you will be your deputies to shell the Lao Maozi rearguard surrounded by us......"

"Let Lao Maozi beat his own people...... Would they like to? Company Commander Li seemed to hear a big joke and asked with an incredible face.

"Of course I won't be willing to ......," Yang Xingguo replied as a matter of course.

Then, the tone changed and continued: "However, the gun in your hand is not vegetarian......"

"Whoever doesn't want to do it will be killed...... More than sixty old Maozi artillerymen, since they were prisoners, it proves that they are afraid of death...... As long as we are afraid of death, there will be people who will compromise with us under the threat of death......"

"Compromise, and fire on their own people, they will lose all retreats."

"Because, in the eyes of Lao Maozi, they have become betrayers...... I don't say you know what happens to the betrayer when he is caught...... So, when the time comes, they will have to give us a ...... to sell their lives" (To be continued. )
