Looking at Li Daniu with a bitter face, Meng Qingshan knew that he was because he blamed himself for the excessive casualties of the troops due to the charge just now, Meng Qingshan handed over the guard battalion with the best weapons and equipment to him to command the battle, from the company commander to the squad leader and even the backbone of the battle are all veterans of the All-Resistance League, so the guard battalion is also called the teaching team, and the future of these people is the officer seed of the main force.

After a blocking battle, not only the heavy machine guns and light machine guns carried were all lost embers. The casualties of the troops were so large, and so many casualties were suffered at once, not to mention Meng Qingshan, who was the commander of this blocking battle, even Li Daniu himself, how could he not be distressed enough? These soldiers were brothers who trained and ate with him for dozens of nights, and in the morning they talked and laughed to discuss the future, but unfortunately now they all turned into cold corpses, especially the dozens of casualties caused by a Japanese shelling just now.

Distressed is distressed, but Meng Qingshan knows that Li Daniu is not to blame, and he is also charging to repel the Japanese army. Although the Anti-Japanese Union brought a lot of heavy firepower and all-American submachine guns, it was not easy to use a guard battalion of less than 400 people and two new battalions to block the Japanese army, which was fully armed and had artillery and air force to assist in the battle, for five hours, and there were less than two companies of troops left.

Meng Qingshan comforted and patted Li Daniu's shoulder and said, "Da Niu, don't be too uncomfortable. Although the losses were somewhat larger, we also bought the time needed for the transfer of the civilian and logistical personnel of the headquarters. As long as we keep fighting, sacrifices will be inevitable. Now they are the first to go, and maybe we will have that day in the near future. ”

"Commander-in-chief, they all blame me. After the battle, I should order the soldiers to return to the trenches immediately. I ask for punishment. ”

"Don't blame yourself, the reason why you have paid so much price today. I'm at least half of the blame. If I had carefully checked the report after receiving it, and had accurately judged that the devils had suddenly changed their tactics and seized the time to mobilize troops to come back to help, the lives of many comrades would not have been lost in vain under the devils' artillery fire and bombardment. It's a pity that I was careless. ”

"Commander-in-Chief, really?"

"It's really your size, the commander-in-chief is comforting you kid, you take it seriously. If you don't hurry back to the position, the little devil will come up in a while. Watch your head. Li Youde slapped Li Daniu's head from the side.

"Lao Li, the big cow is still small, don't be so violent."

"Commander-in-chief, why are you here, this place is dangerous." "It's dangerous, it's not like I haven't fought before." "But you are not like you used to be able to fight casually, you must know that now the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Anti-Japanese Federation depend on you, what is going to happen to you, how can I explain to him when the political commissar comes back!"

"The battle is all over this, and what else do you say. Hurry up and let the fighters hurry up and rest. After Meng Qingshan finished speaking, he raised his binoculars and observed the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Meng Qingshan didn't listen to how to persuade him, Li Youde gestured to Xu Hu, and Xiaohuzi thought for a long time after seeing it, and finally shook his head resolutely. Seeing Xiaohuzi's refusal, Li Youde glanced at Meng Qingshan's neck with his eyes, and his right hand was just about to slash at Meng Qingshan's neck, when suddenly a voice came from behind him, which scared Li Youde a clever one. The hand stopped in mid-air, "Commander-in-Chief." Commander in chief. ”

Meng Qingshan put down the binoculars and turned around to look and found that it was Cui Shiquan, who had been carried away for a short time just now, Meng Qingshan frowned and said, "Comrade Shiquan, didn't I ask you to go back and order the logistics personnel to transfer in the direction of Dedu?" Why are you back again? ”

"Commander-in-Chief. On the way, I met the cavalry sent by Comrade Yanping, and the cavalry reported that Comrade Yanping had transferred the seriously wounded and medical personnel to the arsenal, and that the lightly wounded had been out for several hours, and that we could now evacuate. Cui Shiquan gasped and said.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Lao Li, you immediately organize people to bring all the wounded to the bottom of the mountain, and the soldiers of the guard battalion will stay here to block you and cover your retreat."

"No, commander-in-chief, let's leave cover, you lead the wounded to retreat!"

"What can you recruits defend for? Hurry down the mountain. ”

"Commander-in-Chief, you call me."

"Han Fatzi, you came just in time, you took someone to estimate the ruler and shooting boundary immediately while it was still dark. After five minutes, you will fire me all the shells you have on hand, and not a single shot will be spared. Covering the withdrawal of troops, I blew up the artillery after the shells ran out. ”

"Commander-in-chief, all the shells are out, do you really want to blow up the cannons?"

"Comrade Han Hao, our carrying capacity is limited, we are retreating this time, we can't let the artillery delay the speed of the march, otherwise we will be in trouble if we are chased by the Japanese army, I think you should know this." Cui Shiquan said.

"But, Commander, have you forgotten the days when we used wood as a mortar when we were at Elm Camp? Commander-in-chief, without artillery, we can still do a fake cannon training with that wood, and without artillery, you can't let our artillerymen use shells to smash devils, right? Hearing the words of Meng Qingshan and Cui Shiquan, let all the shells on hand be blown out and blown up, Han Hao said very distressedly, you must know that not long ago, in order to support the front-line operation, Meng Qingshan divided the artillery brigade of the headquarters into five, gave one of the four main divisions, and left the rest at the headquarters.

Hearing Han Hao's words, although he knew that it was not a bad thing for this guy to feel sorry for the cannon, Meng Qingshan still said with a little crying and laughing: "I said, why don't you use your brain?" The artillery is gone, and as long as the troops are there, we can capture it again at any time. If there are no more troops, what is the use of keeping more artillery? Didn't we have nothing? Isn't it an artillery regiment formed by captured Japanese artillery? Besides, isn't our arsenal already capable of producing cannons? When the commissar comes back, maybe he will add a lot of new cannons to you, and I don't know if you will use them. ”

Meng Qingshan said this point, even if Han Hao felt sorry for the cannon, he didn't dare to say anything, he knew the severity, Han Hao silently saluted Meng Qingshan and then took the German telescope handed over by Meng Qingshan, turned around and went down to arrange it according to Meng Qingshan's instructions.

Meng Qingshan said those truths, he had dealt with devils, and he didn't know from the devil's shells, he just felt sorry for these hard-won cannons. Because in his opinion, the troops are now preparing to evacuate and have to go around with the Japanese army in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, and it is very inconvenient to carry these bulky cannons, not to mention the delay in the speed of the march, and they cannot go over the mountains and mountains, you must know that when these cannons are transported, they are pulled by the militia with ox carts and horse-drawn carts.

After Han Hao went down to arrange, Meng Qingshan took out a spare telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese army, and found that the Japanese army actually had dinner again, which made Meng Qingshan breathe a sigh of relief, this little devil is really regularized and still has time to eat.

Hearing Meng Qingshan's arrangement, Cui Shiquan frowned and waved his hand to call Li Youde and Xu Hu and whispered a few words to his side, Li Youde and Xiaohuzi nodded and walked away separately, and after a while, Xiaohuzi took a piece of gray cloth and followed by Li Daniu and several soldiers of the guard battalion, and Li Youde took off the strip of cloth on the leggings, the five of them looked at each other, gritted their teeth and pounced on Meng Qingshan, Meng Qingshan was pounced on coldly, "Li Youde, Xiaohuzi, you want to rebel!" Why don't you let go of me quickly, hmm! Meng Qingshan's eyes widened as he looked at the subordinates around him.

"My boy! The commander-in-chief is really energetic, fortunately we have a few more people, otherwise I wouldn't be able to say who pressed whom! ”

"Commander-in-chief, don't blame us, leave this charge to us! Your old man should be transferred with the wounded soldiers! ”

"Woooooo

"Commander-in-chief, you don't need to say it, I understand, rest assured, I will definitely bring all my comrades back, and when the time comes, you can kill or kill as you like."

Meng Qingshan rolled his eyes and fainted, Meng Qingshan just wanted to scold in his heart: "Who the hell blocked my mouth with stinky socks, this smell can smoke a cow to death." ”

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, don't scare us!" Xiaohuzi stretched out his finger and put it on Meng Qingshan's nose and cried.

Cui Shiquan, who was next to him, saw it and hurriedly walked over, but he couldn't smell the smell in the distance, and when he got closer, he smelled a very pungent smell. After sniffing it carefully, he found that the smell came from the white cloth on Meng Qingshan's mouth, Cui Shiquan's mouth twitched and pointed to the gray cloth and asked, "Huzi, where did you get the cloth?" ”

"Chief of Staff, all our strips of cloth are used on wounded soldiers, and I searched for a long time to find this strip of cloth." Xiaohuzi thought that the chief of staff was going to praise him, with an expression that you don't need to praise me.

"Then why does this strip of cloth have a strong fishy smell?"

At this time, Li Daniu, who was next to him, suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and whispered: "Chief of Staff Huzi found my footcloth. ”
