With a whining roar, a Japanese plane flew arrogantly through the air. The fighters cautiously peeked out of their hiding places and looked at it, and only after confirming that the enemy plane had flown away did they dare to get up.

Li Rongqiu, chief of staff of the 14th Cavalry Brigade, said worriedly: "Brigade seat, the little devil's plane is becoming more and more rampant, if its infantry cooperates with the attack again, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to hold out until dark!" ”

With the 33rd and 34th Brigades retreating westward, the 14th Cavalry Brigade was at the forefront. If the Japanese army attacked on a large scale, they would definitely not be able to stop it, and the meaning of staying here was to prevent the infiltration of small groups of enemy troops.

Brigadier Zhang Zhankui also realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded and said, "Well, you immediately report the situation here to the military seat and see what the military department can do." ”

Command of the 97th Army. Chief of Staff Zhou held a stack of telegrams in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Commander, look at it, in just such a short period of time, all departments on the front line have called to complain, how is this good?" ”

Zheng Weiguo took the telegram and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Little devil, this is reluctant for us to go!" ”

In these messages, several units reported that the Japanese army had intensified aerial reconnaissance, which had led to difficulties in the movement of the troops. The scouts at the front also reported that the Japanese were advancing at an accelerated pace, and that if left unchecked, they would be able to reach Sanyiji within an hour or two to join the remnants of the 14th Division.

Duan Shuanghu suggested: "Military seat, counselor, why don't we concentrate our forces and strike hard at the advancing Japanese army?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "The parachute unit has just been destroyed, and the Japanese are afraid that they will not be fooled." Unless......" At this point, he shook suddenly. Silence.

Duan Shuanghu hurriedly said: "Unless what? Don't just say half of it, it's a rush to death! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "You have to change your acute problem." And he said, "In my opinion, unless you can send a force to strike directly at the enemy's flank, so that they will feel threatened." ”

The Japanese army's eastern and southern reinforcements each have a permanent division and an independent mixed brigade, and in the face of such a strong force, any strategy will become pale and powerless. However, the Japanese army was not without its weakness, and that was their logistics. Originally, it was most appropriate to attack with the air force, but now without the cooperation of the air force, the infantry can only be dispatched.

Duan Shuanghu's face changed slightly. Hesitated. He said: "Is this method a good one, but the enemy reinforcements are gathered, and after attacking its flank at this time, isn't there no return?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head. He smiled bitterly: "So I also feel inappropriate." If you don't have to. Can't go this way. What do you see? ”

Zheng Weiguo walked a few steps in the house, suddenly stopped and said, "I plan to let the special battalion carry out this mission." ”

"Secret Service Battalion?" Chief of Staff Zhou was taken aback. Hurriedly persuaded: "What a pity, let's change the army!" ”

In the past, everyone was not very optimistic about the special service battalion, and thought that it was not cost-effective to spend such a large price to form a small army. However, after successfully annihilating the Japanese army's parachute troops, they began to realize the value. If an elite unit like a parachute unit is played in an ordinary way, a main brigade may not be able to please it, but the special service battalion can easily handle things.

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "As Shuanghu said, now that the Japanese army is gathering reinforcements, it is difficult for ordinary troops to pose a threat to the Japanese army. If more troops are sent, the greater the danger of exposure; The number of troops sent is small, and the strength is insufficient, making it difficult for them to play a role. I think about it, only the special service battalion has this condition. ”

Duan Shuanghu was a little excited, and hurriedly said: "Junzao, then let me go to the front line to command!" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "It's better to let Changgui make a decision on the spot, if you can't be idle, go and organize the evacuation of the large army." ”

In terms of command ability, Duan Shuanghu is indeed stronger, but when it comes to infiltration operations behind enemy lines, Zhang Changgui is even better, after all, the special service battalion was brought out by him. Now is the time not to let the layman guide the insider.

After receiving the order, Zhang Changgui quickly rushed over with his troops. Although the order was vague, everyone knew that there must be a big task for the Dao, so the whole special battalion was a little excited. This is also where the special service battalion differs from other units.

"Commander, what's the good thing?" Zhang Changgui couldn't wait to ask when he came in.

Zheng Weiguo glanced at the troops and said solemnly: "This time is not a good messenger, you are ready to fight for a long time without the military headquarters." ”

Zhang Changgui suddenly realized and said, "Junzuo, are you planning to make my palace queen?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "It's not the queen of the palace, but the rear of the Japanese army to sabotage!" ”

Zhang Changgui was taken aback and said, "Now? ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Not bad!" He talked about the current situation facing the 97th Army, and comforted: "The larger the enemy's army, the greater the logistical pressure, and the farther the attack distance, the more holes in the defense." This is your chance, as long as you take advantage of it, you will definitely be able to fight a good fight! ”

Zhang Changgui gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, military seat!" After a pause, he said, "Commander, before leaving, there is another request for humiliation. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "If you have any requirements, just put them forward! ”

Zhang Changgui hesitated for a moment and said, "Junzao, Xiaoqin, she seems to be pregnant." If I can come back alive, please give us a make-up wedding; If you can't come back, please arrange for someone to take care of them, and the money will come out of my pension. Xiaoqin is still young, if you are willing to keep it, don't be reluctant if you don't want to keep it, I can find a good person to marry me, and the child can be entrusted to his grandparents. ”

Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou looked at each other, but Duan Shuanghu reacted quickly, punched Changgui in the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you thief quickly!" You can also do the thing of getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket, be careful of Xiaoqin and her father beating you dog! ”

Elder Zhang Gui's face flushed, and he smirked a few times.

Chief of Staff Zhou took a piece of paper from the table and said, "This is what the military seat asked me to write to you, save yourself and destroy the enemy!" Remember these eight words and bring the brethren back alive! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "The chief of staff is right, your wife and children will come back to raise them by yourself, don't want to make trouble for us." But. I will not tolerate your style problems, and remember to report to the Judge Advocate General's Office when you come back. As he spoke, several people laughed.

Zhang Changgui said embarrassedly: "Yes, Junzao, then I will lead the team to set off." ”

While the special battalion was advancing eastward in concealment, the 14th Cavalry Brigade also began to retreat westward. They are located between Lanfeng and Sanyiji, and they are already attacked on three sides, and if they wait until dark to retreat, they are afraid that it will be too late. The Japanese army was also prepared, and as soon as they found that the 14th Cavalry Brigade was withdrawn, the troops immediately pressed up.

The news quickly reached the command of the 97th Army. The pillar was taken aback. Busy said: "Commander, the enemy army is advancing so fast, and we are not safe here." I suggest that the army headquarters be transferred immediately, at least to the west of Quxingji. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded. He said, "The pillar is right." Military seat. This place should not be stayed for long. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff, you take the military headquarters to transfer first." I took a former enemy command and a large force with me. ”

Duan Shuanghu hurriedly said: "How can this be done?" Commander, you and the staff seat will withdraw first, and let me stay. ”

Zheng Weiguo said categorically: "No, I can completely pass your ability." But our army has never made a large-scale retreat under such circumstances, and I can only feel at ease by leaving the soldiers behind. ”

There was a consensus in military circles that only third-rate troops could fight defensive battles, second-rate troops could fight offensive battles, and only first-rate troops could fight retreat wars. It can be seen that retreat is indeed a very troublesome thing, and if it is not done well, it will become a rout, or even a rout. At this point, the national army has already set a precedent more than once.

Rumble! The Japanese planes circling in the air probably discovered something and suddenly dropped a few bombs down. Fortunately, the village below is empty, otherwise I don't know how many innocent villagers would have died here.

A group of soldiers hid behind the ruins, their faces all ugly. Fortunately, the Japanese planes did not focus on bombing their location, but just dropped a few bombs at random and flew away.

"Platoon commander, shall we move on, or shall we stay here?"

The platoon commander took out a map and looked at it, and said, "There should be someone who hasn't had time to evacuate, let's wait a while and then look at it." ”

It didn't take long for a small force to come. The platoon commander hurriedly got up and shouted, "Hey, are you also lagging behind?" Which part is it? ”

The small force that came was very cautious, and hurriedly stopped and formed a formation. The officer leading the team, a lieutenant, shouted, "Password!" ”

The platoon commander hurriedly said: "The emperor eats, return the order!" ”

Lieutenant Ha Luha smiled and said, "Grab food with dogs!" We are from the reconnaissance battalion of the military headquarters, which part are you? ”

The platoon commander waved the whip in his hand and said weakly: "Just look at this, you will know the way, the 14th Cavalry Brigade." ”

The lieutenant looked at it and saw that most of the soldiers in this group were circle-legged, and at first glance, they often rode horses, and said with a smile: "The 14th Cavalry Brigade? What about your horses? ”

The platoon commander looked frustrated and said, "Ahem, don't mention it, when the troops were transferred, they were accidentally discovered by the devil's plane." A few of us were ordered to cover the transfer of troops, but there was not a single horse left. ”

The lieutenant nodded and scolded with a smile: "Damn, you guys are really miserable, go and chase the big army." It's no longer safe here, and a small part of the Japanese army is infiltrating this area, and it could appear at any time. ”

The platoon commander said with a sad face: "We don't know the road, why don't we act with you!" ”

The lieutenant thought for a moment and said, "You guys go east first, and the military headquarters should send someone to pick it up." We still have important tasks to do, and we cannot leave for the time being. ”

The platoon commander had no choice but to hang his head and say, "Okay, brothers, take care!" He waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to get up and leave.

At this moment, a mutation protruded! The soldiers of the 14th Cavalry Brigade turned around and suddenly opened fire on the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion. The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion also spotted the danger, and after all, it was a full shot. The lieutenant fell to the ground screaming and shouted, "Be careful, they're devils!" ”

The soldiers suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly took up arms to resist, but unfortunately it was too late, and soon suffered heavy casualties and collapsed. The Japanese soldiers disguised as the 14th Cavalry Brigade looked sluggish, but in fact they were all highly trained elites with extremely strong combat effectiveness. The fighters of the reconnaissance battalion were not opponents one by one, not to mention that the enemy's strength was much larger.

The platoon commander sneered and shouted: "Leave a few alive, and kill all the rest!" ”

The lieutenant, who was seriously wounded, was quickly brought over, and the platoon commander put a bayonet against his chest and said: "Tell me, where are the Germans you have captured?" Say it and you'll be spared. ”

The lieutenant took a breath and said forcefully: "Phew, don't dream, Lao Tzu won't say it when he dies!" ”

The platoon commander's face changed and said, "It's not good, Kobayashi, immediately send a report to the commander of the Matsushima office, saying that the Germans have indeed fallen into the hands of the Shina." His whereabouts are currently unknown and are being traced by the department. ”

Only then did the lieutenant realize that he had been deceived, and he was so angry that he rushed over and was about to fight with the "platoon commander", but was stabbed in the chest with a bayonet by a soldier next to him.

When the platoon commander saw it, he was out of breath when he saw it, and he couldn't help but be angry: "Baga! This person is still useful, who let you die! ”

While he was scolding, another soldier hurried over, looking a little frightened, and said, "Platoon commander, it's not good, one of the soldiers has escaped." ”

The platoon commander almost died of anger and said, "Baga, what's going on?" ”

The soldier said aggrievedly: "That guy is so cunning that he actually hid under the corpse and pretended to be dead, and the result was ......"

The platoon commander snorted and scolded: "You rice buckets, sooner or later, you will be killed." He thought for a while, and then said: "Inform me to go down, implement the second set of plans, change into the clothes of the common people, and transfer immediately." (To be continued......)
