Chapter 642 is out

Tang Qiuli and his entourage camped in the cave, and Sun Zhenbang took two companies of troops, as well as a company of the Eighth Route Army, which happened to be active in this area, and also received orders from their respective superiors to find Tang Qiuli's whereabouts, so that Tang Qiuli had three companies plus a guard brigade with a total of more than 1,500 troops.

The next step is how to cover the division commander to safely jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, according to Sun Zhenbang's plan, his two companies will be launched on both sides respectively, attracting the Japanese army to pursue, tearing a hole in the encirclement of the Japanese army, creating an opportunity for the division commander to get out safely, the Eighth Route Army and the guard brigade escort the division commander, but Tang Qiuli did not agree, the two companies will be tightly bitten by the Japanese army, and the surrounding Japanese troops will surround them, and the end of these soldiers can only be unable to get out and fight to the end.

With the lives of more than 600 soldiers in two companies, in exchange for his own safety, he could never do it, not to mention, the Japanese army has not yet discovered itself, can not risk the lives of soldiers, he categorically rejected Sun Zhenbang's construction, two officers of the Eighth Route Army, exchanged glances with each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's hearts.

In their memory, the Kuomintang officers, in order to save their own lives, sacrificed the lives of many soldiers, which is also the most common thing, but the general of the national army in front of him categorically vetoed this should be the most reasonable plan.

Now, it has not yet reached that step, Tang Qiuli of course will not risk the lives of the soldiers, the top priority is to let the commanders of the corps, know that they are safe now, he ordered to follow one of his own radio stations, immediately turn on the transmitter to send a report, the mountain tiger immediately stopped, and ordered a group of thirty soldiers of the guard brigade to escort the radio station to a place far away from the camping cave to send a report, once encountering the Japanese search force, immediately break through in the opposite direction, even if all the people are killed, they are not allowed to get closer here.

The order is ruthless, but absolutely necessary, to protect the safety of the division commander, is the only task of the mountain tiger, Tang Qiuli is helpless, next, it is time to study how to jump out of the Japanese encirclement, Tang Qiuli believes that at present, the direction of the army's march is exactly the opposite of the Japanese army, as long as it is not the main road, it will not encounter the large Japanese army, if it encounters a small group of searching Japanese troops, with the existing strength, it can quickly eat them, immediately transfer, will not be bitten by the tail, hot pursuit.

He has only one plan, fight out, Sun Zhenbang and Shanhu do not agree with this plan, let the number one person of the independent division come to the battle in person, the guns do not have eyes, the danger is huge, not to mention, even those bigwigs of the corps know, and they will never spare the two of them, and do not let the division commander put himself in danger, which is the consistent principle of the independent division.

The two officers of the Eighth Route Army were even more surprised, this young general of the national army, had such courage, as soon as the guns rang out, how many little devils came around, no one could predict, but, because they were friendly troops, cooperating with the battle, the people present were either colonels or generals, and even two beautiful female officers on the side, one of them was a colonel, according to their ranks, they were just captains, they were polite, and they didn't know the depth, so they didn't express their opinions.

Tang Qiuli's mind has been decided, and he will start acting as soon as the morning dawns, Sun Zhenbang's troops are responsible for the avant-garde, the guard brigade protects the safety of the division commander and the civilian officers of the division headquarters, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army are the rearguard, only by concentrating all the current forces and fighting out, can they get out of the Taihang Mountains as quickly as possible, otherwise, they will be trapped here by the Japanese army, and they don't know how many days, the matter of the Jinan Air Force is a top priority, Shanhu and Sun Zhenbang cannot change the decision of the division commander, they can only carry out the order, and the two officers of the Eighth Route Army, of course, will not object.

The sky was already slightly bright, in order not to expose the target, except for the lurking post of the guard brigade, Sun Zhenbang's two companies and a company of the Eighth Route Army all withdrew into the cave, with several hundred more people, and the huge cave did not look crowded at all, and the troops were mobilized before the battle.

Tang Qiu heard the roar of the mountain tiger from a long distance, this guy was mad with that, he walked over curiously, the mountain tiger's face was pale, several squadron leaders drooped their heads, he understood, the mountain tiger was criticizing the captains of these guard brigades, saying that they did not fulfill their duties, the enemy reconnaissance of the marching route was not clear, and the team did not avoid the Japanese troops in time, causing the division commander to be in danger now, if the division commander is missing a hair in the breakthrough for a while, you guys will come to see you.

Tang Qiuli smiled secretly, this guy is a mountain tiger, he is concerned about chaos, in fact, he can't blame a few squadron leaders, the Japanese army in the entire Taihang Mountain area is dense, the movement is frequent, and sudden and unexpected situations can happen at any time, the troops wandered around the mountains all day, avoiding I don't know how many large Japanese troops and search troops, and there was no exchange of fire with the Japanese army, which is already a rare and difficult for the soldiers of the guard brigade.

He had the intention of relieving a few uncomfortable squadron leaders, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and was about to quietly retreat, when a hidden guard brigade soldier hurriedly came in and reported a situation, the whole 235 people of the fifth special operations detachment had already made contact with the troops, and were on standby outside the cave, and according to the regulations, the division commander's whereabouts were not informed.

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, with the people of the special operations detachment, the probability of a successful breakthrough was greater, he ordered all the special operations detachment to enter the cave, and the captain of the detachment immediately came over to receive the task, in fact, he was looking for the mountain tiger There is one more thing, he saw it, the Eighth Route Army's company commander Wu and Instructor Li, when they saw the equipment of their troops, the envy in their eyes, could not hide, that was a real soldier, love and desire for weapons.

Although the troops of the Eighth Route Army have accepted the weapons and equipment of the national government, God knows what good things those bigwigs of the national government have given them by pinching their noses, he noticed that in the hands of many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they are still holding the old-fashioned Hanyang Made, this is still a reconnaissance unit, as for the ordinary troops, the difference in equipment can be imagined, although he helped to supplement a lot of equipment, compared to the tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army, the number is far from enough. Even-out one piece to the Eighth Route Army.

There is nothing to say about this, Shanhu's orders to Tang Qiuli have always been carried out without discount, and soon, ten Czech light machine guns, twenty Suomi submachine guns, and thirty barge guns, equipped with enough bullets, were handed over to the hands of Company Commander Wu.

Good guys, the troops of the independent division of the people, a platoon has five light machine guns, a color of submachine guns, at least a dozen grenades all over the body, from the eyes of their experts, the bulging bullet belt, the amount of ammunition carried by a single soldier, at least more than 300 rounds, so rich that they look at it and panic, now, how much people have given it, what else can they say in their hearts except gratitude, not only that, the captain of the guard brigade Huang sent someone to send more than 600 grenades.

The soldiers of a company of the Eighth Route Army are all neatly equipped, everyone is in good spirits, and they can't put it down and touch the weapons in their hands, for fear of touching off a little skin, Wu Company Commander and Instructor Li have this beauty in their hearts, looking at the entire Eighth Route Army troops, the equipment of their own company is absolutely unique, the two have the same caliber, and they must not be revealed to other companies, otherwise, these hungry wolves will not snatch these treasures away.

Tang Qiuli made partial adjustments to the plan, the Fifth Special Warfare Detachment, as the vanguard force, set off in advance to clear the way for the troops behind, and Sun Zhenbang's two companies, the left and right wings were deployed, to support the Fifth Special Warfare Detachment at any time.

The morning sun rises, a round of red sun jumps out of the east, ten thousand rays of light reflect the thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain, the verdant pines and cypresses shake the branches slightly in the morning breeze, the great rivers and mountains, the magnificent sunrise map, Tang Qiu's centrifugal chest is one of the exhibitions, the pride is suddenly born, and the troops are ordered to set off, the light and agile figures of the soldiers, flashed into the pine and cypress, he looked back at the cave, this place to give himself a night of nostalgia, turned around and left.

The speed of the troops' march was very fast, and they avoided the large number of Japanese troops who encountered them, and along the way, they encountered seven or eight small units of the Japanese army searching, all of which were killed by the Fifth Special Warfare Detachment.

The combat skills of the Fifth Special Operations Detachment have opened the eyes of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who rarely use weapons, most of them are cold weapons, and Company Commander Wu has seen with his own eyes that a group of more than 30 little devils are all lying in a pool of blood without having time to fire a shot, and his own company, in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, can be regarded as a unit performing special tasks, in all fairness, if he fights with the special operations detachment of the independent division, he is not an opponent, I am afraid that he has not yet discovered the other party, and he will be * lose more than half of his troops, not only the gap in weapons and equipment, the most important thing is the tactical level and individual soldiers, the difference is not a little bit less.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had advanced nearly 60 kilometers and arrived at a mountain pass called Shuzhang, which could not be crossed.

Judging from the map, this is the only passage to the south of the river, is an important stronghold of the Japanese army to block the Taihang Mountains, if you take a detour, not to mention the distance of five or six days, and the situation is not clear, retreat, followed by a mad dog I don't know how many Japanese troops, I fought all the way, according to the place where the battle took place, it is not difficult for the Japanese commander to find out the route of his advance.

There is a strong enemy in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, it is a taboo for soldiers to suffer from the enemy on their backs, and the sound of guns and cannons in the back seems to be nothing, it must be the Japanese army chasing along the route, for a while, everyone realized the strict nature of the problem, and turned their eyes to Tang Qiuli, who had a calm face.
