"Yes, I really retreated, the devils retreated in a hurry, and they didn't even grab back the hundreds of devil corpses in front of our forward position! You must know that the devil will never discard the corpse of his companion until the last resort! Wang Baoshan nodded in affirmation.

"That's ......!" Cao Er fell into deep thought thoughtfully.

"Why don't we chase after us?" Wang Baoshan said excitedly.

"This matter can't be taken lightly, let's send a telegram to the military seat to report the situation first, and ask the military seat to decide!" Wu Wen thought for a while.

"Well, yes, report to the military seat." Cao Er nodded in agreement.

………………………… Yingzhou City, the compound of the Fourth Division.

Qiao Anbang is pacing back and forth in the courtyard, Li Jupeng and Chu Jingming have not called to report so far, is it possible that they have suffered defeat?

Just when Qiao Anbang was nervous, Liang Jiahan suddenly trotted all the way over, came to Qiao Anbang and snapped up his proud chest and reported: "The third division and the fourth division defeated the sixth division and the 114th division in the area of Fengyang County, and continued to pursue for dozens of kilometers, annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, captured a large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies, and won a great victory in Huainan again!" ”

"Oh? That's great! Before Qiao Anbang finished speaking, Yali twisted Xiao Man's waist and walked over quickly, also with a happy face: "Military seat, thirty miles of emergency electricity!" ”

"Oh? How's it going? Qiao Anbang solemnly motioned for Yali to read quickly.

"The second division reported that the devils who were attacking head-on suddenly stopped attacking and were retreating at this time!" Yali said.

"Damn, no wonder the Ninth Division outside the city is so quiet, it turns out that it wants to run!" Qiao Anbang thought that the Ninth Division outside the city surprisingly did not attack, and suddenly realized.

"Senior Commander Cao, please ask for instructions, do you want to pursue?!" Yali said again.

Before Qiao Anbang could answer, another rush of footsteps sounded, and a second lieutenant of the fourth division ran in from outside the division headquarters compound with a hurried look.

Before he arrived, the second lieutenant snapped up and saluted: "Report to the military seat, there is movement of the devils outside the city, they want to run!" ”

"Want to run?" Qiao Anbang turned his head and asked Liang Jiahan: "Where is the Eighth Brigade now, and how long will it take to arrive?" ”

"At least three hours!" Liang Jiahan replied truthfully.

"Three hours? No, it's too slow, by the time they arrive, the devil will already run away, and the daylilies will be cold by then! Qiao Anbang was in a hurry, and immediately said to Yali: "Yali, call Cao Er back immediately, tell him, don't pursue the retreating main force of devils, leave part of the troops to stay in Thirty Miles, and the rest of the main force immediately outflank me back, this time I can't run away from the three thousand devils outside the city!" ”

"Yes!" Yali straightened her breasts, turned and took the order.

After Yali left, Qiao Anbang instructed the second lieutenant again: "You immediately send me an order, all the soldiers in the city, as long as they can hold guns, all for Lao Tzu to go out of the city to pursue, tell the brothers, the time for revenge has come, the three thousand little devils outside the city are already turtles in the urn, be sure to destroy them all for me!" ”

"Yes!" The second lieutenant stepped forward excitedly, and immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

"Jiahan, send another telegram to Liu Guodong, urging him to speed up the march, if he runs away from these three thousand little devils, I will withdraw his temporary Eighth Brigade, don't be a major general and brigade commander, Lao Tzu asked him to come to the military department to carry a cauldron for me!"

"Yes!" Liang Jiahan smacked his tongue slightly, and hurriedly responded,.................. On the cement road leading from Taihe County to Yingzhou City, Liu Guodong and Ji Changfeng led the newly established Eighth Brigade to advance along the road.

Due to the hasty establishment of the Eighth Brigade, the current Eighth Brigade has only two main infantry regiments and a communications platoon directly under the brigade headquarters, and the predecessor of this communications platoon is Ji Changfeng's guard battalion communications squad.

In order to expand the strength of the troop to more than 5,000 people, Liu Guodong unified and reorganized the more than 400 militia members in Taihe County into the Temporary Eighth Brigade without asking for instructions, so that the total strength of his Temporary Eighth Brigade reached more than 5,100 people.

The marching army lined up with more than 5,000 people stretched for more than a kilometer, and this was still the road built by the Tiger Ben Army that was wide enough, and the Eighth Brigade was lined up in four columns to march at the same time, and if it was a narrow and small dirt road, the marching team would have to be at least more than two thousand meters.

Due to the rush of time, the Eighth Brigade was not all equipped with cars, mainly the mechanics of the arsenal, many of whom could not drive trucks at all, otherwise with the number of cars in the Guanji Arsenal, everyone would not have to march on foot.

However, Liu Guodong, who was the brigade commander, Ji Changfeng, the deputy brigade commander, and others did not march on foot, and they took hundreds of soldiers to form a vanguard force in the trucks equipped by the original Third Division Guard Battalion and marched towards Yingzhou.

The military jeep that Liu Guodong and Ji Changfeng were riding in was moving fast, when suddenly a shout came from behind: "Brigade seat, brigade seat, military seat emergency electricity!" ”

Liu Guodong looked back and saw that the communications second lieutenant, who had just been promoted to the platoon commander of the communications platoon, was chasing after him on a side three-wheeled motorcycle.

Liu Guodong immediately ordered the driver to stop, and soon the motorcycle in which the second lieutenant was riding roared towards him.

"What's going on?" Liu Guodong was the first to ask.

The second lieutenant of the communications gasped and said hurriedly: "Army, military seat emergency!" ”

"Read!" Liu Guodong waved his hand.

"The military command order, order your department, immediately speed up the march, prepare to encircle and annihilate the enemy outside the city, if you can't arrive in time, the enemy will flee......" After reading more than half of the sentence, the second lieutenant of the communication stopped looking up and looked at Liu Guodong with some embarrassment.

Liu Guodong was listening carefully and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, why don't you read it?" Read! ”

"Yes, if the Eighth Brigade of the Provisional Brigade cannot arrive in time and the fighter plane is delayed, the military department will withdraw the Eighth Brigade of the Temporary Brigade, and the brigade and brigade commander Liu Guodong will be pushed to the end and go to the military headquarters to carry the cauldron!" After reading the remaining telegram with a shudder, the communications lieutenant quietly looked up at Liu Guodong.

Liu Guodong changed color when he heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and said angrily: "Good girl, the military seat has given our old Liu a death order!" ”

Ji Changfeng on the side urged: "Lao Liu, we have to speed up the march!" If the fighter plane is really delayed and withdrawn, you and my brothers will not be able to raise their heads in this life! "Originally, if the Eighth Brigade was withdrawn as soon as it was established, it would indeed be shameful.

Liu Guodong nodded thoughtfully, and then said murderously to the second lieutenant of the communication: "Pass my order, the whole brigade will move forward at full speed, give Lao Tzu all the strength to eat milk on foot, and drive at full speed for Lao Tzu, if anyone delays the fighter, Lao Tzu will be killed before he is masturbated!" ”

"Yes!" The communication soldier hurriedly stepped forward with an awe-inspiring expression, and immediately turned around and left in the car.

Liu Guodong ordered, all the car soldiers desperately stepped on the accelerator, the speed of the convoy soared suddenly, fortunately, they were driving on a smooth and smooth cement road, if the previous potholed dirt road, it is estimated that before the arrival of Yingzhou City, the car should be destroyed because of the car accident.

…………………… Outside the city of Yingzhou, when Yoshika Ryosuke learned of the defeat of the 6th and 114th Divisions and the forced retreat of the entire Central China Front, he could hardly believe his ears.

However, soon, Yoshika Ryosuke calmed down, and the main forces of the front army all retreated, and his own roundabout troops became a lone army in a blink of an eye.

However, Yoshiga Ryosuke's retreat plan still failed to achieve his wishes, and Qiao Anbang learned that the 3rd and 4th Divisions were victorious, and after the main force of the army retreated, he quickly sent troops out of the city to pursue him.

Biting the 7th Infantry Wing of Ryosuke Yoshika, Ryosuke Yoshika commanded the troops to fight and retreat while thinking about countermeasures.

"Your Excellency General, no, we have found a large number of Chinese troops in front of us, and now they are encircling us." Ryosuke Yoshika was retreating with his guards when a scout rushed to report.

"Baga, it must be the people of Thirty Miles Pu who came to intercept us!" Ryosuke Yoshika's face sank.

"Your Excellency General, it seems that we are already surrounded by the Chinese people, what should we do?" Fukuda Osa asked eagerly.

Ryosuke Jijia's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly said, "No, we still have hope!" ”

"Still hope?" Fukuda Daisa and the others looked at Ryosuke Yoshika in confusion.

Ji Jia Liangsuke waved his hand, and a guard had already taken out the march battle map, opened the map, and Ji Jia Liangfu pointed on the map: "To the west, this is the weak point of the encirclement of the Tiger Ben Army, and we can withdraw from here through Henan!" ”

"Yo Xi, Your Excellency the General is wise! I immediately ordered the troops to retreat to the west! Fukuda Osa looked at the map and nodded happily.

…………………… In Yingzhou City, Qiao Anbang, accompanied by Yali and Liang Jiahan, had already boarded the head of Yingzhou City, and suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him.

The three of them turned around one after another, only to see that a communication soldier had already run over in a hurry, and when they came to the front, they stood up and saluted Qiao Anbang and said, "Military seat, the third battalion reports, the devil is fleeing west!" ”

"Fled-west?" Qiao Anbang frowned when he heard this, he didn't need to look at the map, he could guess the intention of the Ninth Division, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Immediately send a telegram to the Temporary Eighth Brigade, let them turn around immediately, cross the Ying River, and intercept the Yue Army!" ”

"Yes!" The communications soldier quickly stepped forward and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the city.

…………………… On the highway from Taihe to Yingzhou.

The communications platoon commander caught up with Liu Guodong's car again, and reported urgently: "The brigade seat, the military seat has an order, ordering us to turn around immediately, cross the Yinghe River in the south, and intercept the devil!" ”

"What? Crossing the Ying River in the south? Liu Guodong was taken aback and glanced at Ji Changfeng, and said, "Brother Changfeng, what do you think is going on?" ”

"There must be a change in the hostile situation, we just have to carry it out!" Ji Changfeng said without thinking.

"Hmm." Liu Guodong nodded, turned his head and said to the signal soldier: "Order the troops, turn around immediately, abandon the car and cross the river, and intercept the devil with me!" ”

"Yes!" The communications platoon commander answered loudly again and was ordered to leave.
