Under the guidance of local villagers, Zheng Weiguo and his team successfully broke through to a small village. However, several Japanese planes kept hovering in the air, refusing to leave, and from time to time they dropped two bombs to explore the reality. At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the Japanese planes were becoming more and more rampant, because they knew that it would be difficult to hold the 97th Army after tonight.

Ren Zhuzi looked anxious and said, "Junzao, the little devil seems to be eyeing this place, how can this be good?" ”

Zheng Weiguo comforted: "Don't worry, it's going to be dark soon, and they won't last long." ”

Phew, Bah! Suddenly, several gunshots rang out in the distance, and several Japanese planes pounced as quickly as sharks smelled blood.

The pillar was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Junzuo, the devil is finally gone, let's hurry up and leave!" ”

Zheng Weiguo glanced at the sky, and suddenly stopped: "Don't move yet, wait a minute!" The warriors were about to emerge from their hiding place, but they had to shrink back when they heard the words.

Sure enough, just when the soldiers were waiting a little impatiently, the Japanese planes suddenly turned back. There seemed to be no movement below, so he had to drop the bomb indiscriminately and fly towards the east.

Because of the lack of all-weather combat capability, it was too dangerous as soon as it got dark, so the enemy aircraft had to be withdrawn. After the war, this campaign was rated as one of the ten closest moments to the success of the Japanese Army Aviation, and attracted countless "imperial people" to choke it.

The soldiers had already admired Zheng Weiguo, but after this incident, they were even more shocked, and they were surprised and happy at the moment, and asked one after another: "Junzao, how do you see it?" ”

These fighters were carefully selected from various departments and had excellent physical fitness. The family background is innocent and the education level is high. Zheng Weiguo deliberately trained them as another trump card in his hand, and often trained them personally, so the relationship between them was also excellent, and there was no estrangement between the upper and lower levels in the army.

Looking at everyone's adoring eyes, Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "Meng, because I will do the same if I change it!" ”

The pillar said happily: "Junza, you are really powerful. ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "If you are really powerful, you will not be deceived." Pillar, you immediately take a platoon back to the village just now. Catch me the old farmer who showed me the way. He paused. Gritted his teeth and said, "To live!" ”

The pillar suddenly came to his senses and said, "Are you suspecting that person deliberately exposing our whereabouts to enemy planes?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, his face was a little ugly, and said, "Don't go quickly!" "As a special forces commander from the 21st century. It was actually soaked by the plainclothes of the devils of the 20th century. It's really panicked.

It's really dangerous to talk about it just now. The plainclothes man disguised as an old peasant was originally intended to expose the troops to the open area and then use air strikes to annihilate them in one fell swoop, but they did not expect the guard company's marching speed and concealment ability to be so good that they misjudged the timing. Let Zheng Weiguo and them escape by luck.

After a while, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the village where they had stopped, but it quickly subsided. Ren Zhuzi quickly rushed back with a row, but his face was full of shame, and his head was so low that he was about to tuck into his crotch.

Zheng Weiguo took a look and found that there were five people missing from the team, his face sank at the moment, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Zi blushed and said: "Report to the military seat, it is all blame for the death of five brothers due to the improper command of the lowly position, please punish you." ”

It turned out that the farmer who was guiding the way was not fighting alone, they had a reinforced detachment, and all of them were skilled. The pillar was too reckless at that time, and he rushed directly to arrest people because of his strength, but he was ambushed by the Japanese plainclothes team. If it weren't for the snipers and machine guns covering in the shadows, if not the entire army, it would have been greatly damaged.

Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "How can I tell you on weekdays!" Are you so rough and rough enough to be worthy of your sacrificial comrades? What about the captives I let you capture? ”

Naturally, there were no prisoners, and those plainclothes people were very resolute in their will to fight, and they would rather die than give in, and the only one they caught alive also bit their dentures and committed suicide by taking poison.

The pillar was embarrassed, and he took out his pistol and was about to cut himself, but fortunately, Zheng Weiguo saw that his expression was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the gun away.

"The squad leaders of each class are optimistic about the people in their class, move quickly, don't fall behind!" The state of the pillar is obviously not suitable for commanding anymore, and Zheng Weiguo has no effective manpower around him, so he has to go into battle himself. Under his leadership, the troops quickly transferred. By the time the Japanese reinforcements arrived, Zheng Weiguo and his team had already joined the troops of the 35th Brigade.

Wu Quanfu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zheng Weiguo was safe and sound, and said with a smile: "Junzuo, it's time for you." There was a gunshot in front of us just now, which made everyone panic. ”

Zheng Weiguo said lightly: "It's okay, I encountered some minor troubles on the way." ”

Wu Quanfu was taken aback and said, "Is it an air raid or a plainclothes team?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled helplessly: "It's all touched." Then he stretched out his finger behind him, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that five brothers have been broken." ”

Wu Quanfu was a little ashamed and said: "Junzuo, it's all my fault, if only I had sent troops to meet earlier." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Tu Feiyuan is starting to be restless again? ”

Wu Quanfu was a little distressed and said, "This old thing was originally beaten quite comfortably by us." But now that the reinforcements are getting closer and closer, they are starting to play small moves again. I am worried that he will raid overnight, and it will be difficult for our troops to withdraw smoothly at that time. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, Tu Feiyuan is the most adventurous, so I have to guard against it." You tell each battalion and company to hold a meeting, and let's arrange it. ”

As expected, when the 35th Brigade withdrew from the periphery of Sanyiji overnight, the Japanese 14th Division suddenly launched a fierce counterattack. Although Zheng Weiguo and Wu Quanfu made sufficient preparations in advance and formulated a careful plan for this purpose, the 35th Brigade was limited in strength after all, and the whole army was almost defeated.

At the critical moment, Zheng Weiguo ignored the danger and went to the front line many times to stabilize the morale of the army. Brigade Commander Qi Sixian of the 36th Brigade personally led a fierce attack from the flank, fought for more than an hour, and finally forced back Tufeiyuan.

The 97th Army did not dare to stay longer, and quickly withdrew westward before even the battlefield was cleaned. Wait until the 10th and 16th Divisions arrive overnight. The troops have been withdrawn to a relatively safe place.

Wu Quanfu was still thinking about the crisis just now, wiped a cold sweat and said, "Junzao, do you think the little devil will pursue overnight?" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be, and I've already sent troops to attack its rear road, even if they catch up, they won't be able to last long." ”

This time Zheng Weiguo miscalculated, Japanese people like to take risks, and Tu Feiyuan is not the only one who likes to do this. That night, the Japanese top brass decided to make the last move, and they organized two elite troops to cover alternately. Take turns in pursuit. chased all the way to the Yellow River beach, if it weren't for the tight garrison of the 97th Army, it would have collapsed that night.

The warriors were so angry that they demanded revenge. Zheng Weiguo advised: "Revenge is not in a hurry. Let's get out first. There will be opportunities in the future. ”

Wu Quanfu said: "Military seat." What if the Japanese chase after them again? Why don't I lead a queen? ”

Zheng Weiguo said confidently: "Don't worry, they don't have a chance." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the special service battalion had successfully entered the enemy-occupied area. At this time. The Japanese army had not yet established an effective control system in eastern Henan. With the exception of a few supply lines, there is a power vacuum in most places. With the strength of the special service battalion, it is naturally at ease, and with the support of Brigade Commander Chen Da for several masters of mobilizing the masses, the troops' activities behind enemy lines are even more like fish in water.

Due to the complete control of the eastern section of the Longhai Line by the Japanese army, the transportation focus of the Japanese army was also quickly shifted to the railway, after all, the cost of railway transportation is low, and the transportation volume is far higher than that of the road.

After Zhang Changgui arrived, he quickly took control of several small villages near the Longhai Railway, but the Japanese army was negligent and did not notice it, and as a result, two military trains were blown up in succession by the special service battalion. This was like a scoop of cold water poured on Nishio Shouzo's head, so that the Japanese army had to rein in their ambitions and return to the front line of Luowangzhai to garrison.

After the scouts found out that the Japanese army was retreating, they hurriedly reported the good news to Zheng Weiguo. Brigadier Qi Sixian was puzzled: "How can the Japanese army's physical strength only chase such a short distance?" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a while, secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said: "It must be the special service battalion that has succeeded, and the Japanese army will not continue to pursue at the risk of the supply line being cut off." ”

Everyone was very happy when they heard it, after all, the devils of two or three divisions always followed behind their buttocks, which really made people panic, like thorns in their backs, which made the soldiers feel very stressed.

With this good news, the 97th Army also began to be transferred. Zheng Weiguo and the others were discussing the next step to withdraw there, when Liang Dongkai, deputy division commander in Jiangbei, suddenly sent an urgent telegram, saying that the Eighth Route Army had helped build a pontoon bridge at Liuzhuang Ferry in the northeast of Kaifeng, and suggested that the troops cross the river overnight.

It turned out that after Brigadier Chen learned of the plight of the 97th Army, he immediately mobilized the masses in the controlled area to collect ships. The mobilization ability of the Eighth Route Army was naturally speechless, and the improvised pontoon bridge was built in a small boat overnight. In addition, the bold and careful Brigadier Chen also prepared more than a dozen large ships to facilitate the transportation of heavy equipment.

Zheng Weiguo and his men were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they hurriedly organized the wounded and a small number of troops to cross the river nearby, while the rest of the troops were lightly armed, marched 40 miles in a hurry, and quickly withdrew along the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River to the Liuzhuang ferry northeast of Kaifeng. Then, under the response of the Eighth Route Army and the Jiangbei troops of the 97th Army, they quickly crossed the Yellow River.

In order to concentrate his troops, Zheng Weiguo also transferred the 33rd Brigade, the 34th Brigade, and the 14th Cavalry Brigade, which had been withdrawn to the outskirts of Kaifeng, overnight. At this point, the 97th Army, which had been dismantled in pieces, was reunited, with a total of four infantry brigades and five cavalry regiments, and its strength was amazing.

However, because the rear road was unstable, the Japanese army did not dare to make a big move, and they did not arrive at Liuzhuang until the next morning. At this time, the 97th Army had already settled down on the north bank, and the Japanese troops who were desperately chasing had to look at the river and sigh.

Zheng Weiguo tossed all night and was about to go back to sleep, but was stopped by Chief of Staff Zhou.

"Junza, there are a lot of things that need you to decide!" He took out a telegram sent directly by the Military Commission and handed it to Zheng Weiguo. The telegram was drafted by Chen Bui, demanding that the 97th Army obey the overall situation and immediately hand over the three captured Germans to the war zone.

Yesterday the troops were busy retreating, and after retreating, they were busy crossing the river, and after crossing the river, they were busy settling down tens of thousands of troops, and the officers were all too busy to touch the ground. Chief of Staff Zhou didn't have time to report this matter to Zheng Weiguo. Now that it is finally empty, it is impossible not to give the Military Commission a face.

Zheng Weiguo listened to Chief of Staff Zhou explain the ins and outs of the matter, rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone treats those three Germans as treasures!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, since there are strange goods to live in, we can't afford to be cheap in the war zone and the military commission." Not to mention anything else, the previous promises should always be fulfilled, they are all promised by Shangfeng before, it's not too much! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Of course it's not too much. Chief of Staff, you are responsible for discussing this matter, and it will be delayed for me for at least a month, these people are very useful, and they cannot be handed over easily. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "This is natural. ”

The two were talking happily when a loud voice suddenly came in from outside the courtyard: "What kind of foreign wealth did Chief Zheng make?" Our rule here is that those who see it have a share, you can't eat alone! (To be continued......)
