The devil is coming, what should I do? In the meeting hall of the county government, Hu Fei, Gou Tianxiao, Cheng Laogang, the new infantry battalion commander Yang Jinkai, and the deputy battalion commander Wang Bin gathered together to discuss the anti-Japanese plan. As for the former owner of the county government, County Magistrate Liu went home on vacation for the time being to recuperate. After the fundraising banquet ended, the county magistrate fell ill after paying the money, and I heard that it was angina.

Yang Jinkai advocates fighting! Over the years, Battalion Commander Yang has never been afraid of devils, and whenever he talks about fighting devils, he has always rushed to kill people in front of him and behind them. Gou Tianxiao thought that he should retreat, he felt that with the strength of the 88 Column, it would be difficult to defeat a fully manned Japanese brigade from the front, not to mention that there was a brigade of devils behind this brigade.

Cheng Laozhuan did not express an opinion. He is the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and he is only responsible for providing intelligence, and the other is to listen to Hu Fei's words. Hu Fei asked him to fight, and he would definitely rush up with the troops unconditionally; Hu Fei didn't speak, and no one wanted to say that he would pull the reconnaissance battalion into the battlefield. The remaining deputy battalion commander Wang Bin didn't say a word, the former county police chief was okay at maintaining social order, he was a layman in the war, and now Deputy Battalion Commander Wang is still in the stage of learning and exploring.

After Yang Jinkai and Gou Tianxiao each said their own opinions, they looked at Hu Fei when they saw that others were not interested in speaking. Cheng Laogang and Wang Bin also looked at Hu Fei. The opinions are put out, and it depends on which one Commander Hu adopts.

"Tianxiao's analysis is right, we only have a newly formed infantry battalion and a reconnaissance battalion now, and we are definitely not Goto Shiro's opponents. The city guard of Yuci County cannot be defended, and retreat is inevitable. However, in any case, we are also wearing military uniforms, and we represent the national army, so we can't explain how to give up a county town to the Japanese army in vain. ”

"Even if this county is destined to be robbed by the Japanese army in the end, we can't let the devils occupy it comfortably! Brush, Lao Wang, you two take the troops out of the city, let's fight the devils outside the city! ”

"May I ask the commander, why don't we guard the county seat?" It was Wang Bin, the former police chief and current deputy battalion commander, who spoke, "It's easier to defend the city than to fight in the field, right?" "Although Yuci County does not have tall walls or wide moats, it is always a city. It is easier to defend a city than to fight in the field, this is a simple truth. Deputy Battalion Commander Wang didn't understand why Commander Hu abandoned the city and didn't defend it, and wanted to fight a field battle with the devils.

"As I said just now, we have no certainty of winning this battle at all, so what else is there to defend in this city? Besides, let the flames of war once again stain this thousand-year-old city, how can you and I bear it? For the sake of the safety of the people in the city, why should we soldiers take some risks? ”

As soon as Hu Fei said this, Wang Bin's face was already full of emotion. His home is also in the county seat, and once the battle starts in the city, he doesn't need to think about how much disaster it will bring to the local people.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that there have been countless facts in the modern Sino-Japanese war: Japanese soldiers are beasts! Once a city falls into the hands of a Japanese slave, the fate of the people in the city will be worse than that of livestock! The Japanese invaders wantonly slaughtered, raped, and plundered, and a good city often turned into a hell on earth in a single day. Lushun in 1894, Jinan in 1928, and Nanjing in 1937 were all real tragedies.

Since Hu Fei knew that he couldn't do the Japanese criminals, he naturally refused to let the people of the whole city suffer. Therefore, from the very beginning, he was not ready to fight with the devils in the city.

After the brief military meeting, the general state of the battle of Yuci had already been decided. Sent people to write notices and posted dozens of them in conspicuous places in the city, telling the people: If we leave, the county will still be occupied by the Japanese, and if you have a place to go, you should leave quickly, and we can't take care of it if you have nowhere to go!

After the notice was posted, Hu Fei led his troops out of the city. Let outsiders see that is: the Japanese army is coming, Hu Fei thinks that he is not an opponent and ran away in advance! The people who read the proclamation scolded him. went into the city to rob the benefits and arrested the police, and when the devil came, did you flee from the wind? Eater! What a big rice bucket! How can our country raise this kind of army? The people have everything they say, anyway, Hu Fei can't hear it when he goes out of the city.

Not to mention that Hu Fei didn't want to escape, even if he really wanted to run, could the devil let him go? As we said, Yuci's garrison commander Goto Shiro is a Japanese spy, this guy has established an intelligence network in the county town for a few months, and Hu Fei's every move can't escape the eyes of the spies.

The 88 longitudinal poster posted a notice, and the troops began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave the city, and the spies immediately reported the situation to Goto Shaosa. Your Excellency Shao Zuo took a look, huh? Hu Fei wants to run? That's not going to work!

You occupied the county seat for a day, and not only robbed the treasury, but also extorted all the high-ranking people in the city. It's all about making money, so let's not talk about it. But you shouldn't have taken the police away, right? Do you have this scraping method? You're gone, what should I do? Where am I going to find so many cops? Let who be the chief of police?

Robbed money, arrested people and want to leave? Where in the world is there such a good thing? Goto Shaozo doesn't know how to fight, he only knows one thing, he can't let Hu Fei go like this! Give it to me! Grab the money back and keep the people behind! Goto Shiro led the troops to meet him, and when he came over, he stopped Hu Fei.

Hu Fei took a look, okay, these devils are quite unambiguous. Come on, I know you're amazing, grandpa won't be with you, farewell! Hu Fei turned around and ran away with the troops.

Ran away without firing a shot? Goto Shiro was stunned for a second and then raised his sword, "Kill the chicken!" "With the devil soldiers, they are chasing after them. Hu Fei saw that the devil refused to give up, so he pulled Cheng Lao over and instructed him: "You take the reconnaissance battalion to run in the other direction, let's divide the troops and retreat." You know the meeting place, and we'll see you there. ”

Hu Fei divided his troops, and Goto Shiro was happy when he saw it, "Yo Xi!" Divide the troops! The devil was also divided into two, and Goto sent two squadrons to chase Cheng Lao's scouts and go down. Goto Shaosa is engaged in intelligence, and he believes that the more clues, the better. Hu Fei divided his troops and fled, which shows that he has more than one stronghold. If you can get rid of all his strongholds through these routes, wouldn't it be the same as annihilation?

Yang Jinkai's infantry battalion had 430 people, and Cheng Laogang's reconnaissance battalion had about 400 people. The reconnaissance battalion is usually scattered, but when it retreats from the city, it gathers together, and it is indeed not much different from the infantry battalion in terms of numbers.

Goto Shiro saw that Hu Fei had the same number of troops on both sides, so he divided two infantry squadrons over there. Two squadrons of more than 300 Japanese troops, against more than 400 national troops, should be a sure victory, right?
