At this time, Wang Hongkun, commander of the 385th Brigade, was talking to Yang Longfei. As soon as Brigade Commander Wang came up, he greeted him with humor: "Yang Longfei, I have to thank you for saving my life." When I see you someday, don't forget to remind me that you need to find a chance to have a drink......"

Yang Longfei only felt a moment of shame and replied, "Brigade Commander, don't talk to me about it." What can I save you? I don't have the face to see people, I just arrived in the northwest of Jinxi and let the devils clean up, and I almost even gave my regiment headquarters. It's too unlucky, if you hurt me again, I really can't do this job. ”

Brigade Commander Wang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Hmm, how did you say that?" Let me tell you the truth, just now the chief of staff of the headquarters called to ask about this matter, and said that he wanted me to thank you, if it weren't for the comrade brother, you desperately blocked the attack of this gang of devils, and I am afraid that this contemptible head would have to move. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the headquarters to ask...... Oh, by the way, the head of the headquarters wants to know how your regiment's casualties are doing? I warn you, don't give me false reports for the sake of face, as much as you want. Of course, there is also a rough summary of the enemy's casualties, I don't think he will take the corpse with the death of the devil, right? You have a good idea of what to do now, so you don't have to let Lao Tzu spend any more time looking for you, I'm busy, I'm ......"

"Brigadier, can I make a request to you before I report? Where can we say about this casualty, just stop here, don't report it to the division headquarters and headquarters, is it done? Yang Longfei snorted. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was categorically rejected by the brigade commander.

"You don't talk nonsense, the casualty summary was personally asked for by the head of the headquarters on the phone, do you think I dare to hide it? You kid is a gentleman, even if you lose this battle, what's the matter, won't it be over if you fight back next time? Hurry up, don't grind, hurry up and report the casualties, I will definitely not scold you, hurry! ”

Yang Longfei smiled bitterly and sighed: "Shame, our regiment has sacrificed a total of twelve soldiers, two of them are recruits, fifteen lightly wounded, and no seriously wounded. These devils are very evil, and they either can't hit them or they will be killed with one shot. I looked at the part of the victim who was shot, either in the center of the eyebrows or in the chest. And the weapon used by this gang of devils is not a semi-automatic rifle, I saw it, it is made in a foreign country*, and the gun is engraved with foreign yards, but I don't know which country...... Brigade commander, do you have any foreign leaders at the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army, or should I send someone to send the captured ones* to the headquarters and ask them to help identify them? ”

"Okay, I know, you can ask the soldiers to send the things directly to the brigade headquarters...... Also identified? Are you an antique? Okay, don't talk nonsense, tell me about the enemy's casualties as well, I have to keep a record here, and I have to report it to the headquarters when I get back......" Brigade Commander Wang interrupted Yang Longfei's eloquent conversation with great impatience.

Yang Longfei said cautiously: "When our regiment was cleaning the battlefield, we found a devil's corpse at the entrance of the village, but two of them were dropped*, I estimate that the devil's casualties should be more than these, and it is estimated that they really took a few before retreating." ”

Brigade Commander Wang turned his face when he heard this, and he shouted fiercely on the other end of the phone: "You give me less estimates, Lao Tzu only looks at the results!" Yang Longfei, you kid, you just gave me such a big gift as soon as you arrived? A regiment of six or seven hundred people can fight a small army of devils and dozens of people like this? One person can drown the enemy with a single spit, right? I'm asking you! What do you mean kid doesn't speak? Didn't you kid be very good at Luodian at that time, why are you cowardly here? With a disparity of 1:17 between us and the enemy, you kid can fight like this? Isn't your regiment known as the trump card in the main force? After a battle, you killed a devil, but let the family backhand knock down a dozen people, this is the work of one of your main forces? You're dumb, but you're talking...... Do you have to force me to go to the General's Temple to settle accounts with your kid? ”

"Brigade commander, don't come, I know that I am responsible for the defeat in this battle, I admit the punishment, you must not come...... Brigade commander, you extinguish the fire, I know that this battle is not very beautiful, I review, I do a deep review, don't move your anger, moving is not good for your health. Yang Longfei has become a donkey at this moment.

Brigade Commander Wang teased on the other end of the microphone: "You don't give me nonsense!" Let me tell you Yang Longfei, you will continue to build according to this trend, Lao Tzu's brigade is here for you to build slowly, don't be polite to me. When you toss all this bit of Lao Tzu's belongings, and when the head of the headquarters wants to cut off my head, Lao Tzu has to get your kid's head off first! As soon as the voice fell, he hung up the phone with a "bang".

Holding the microphone that had been hung up, Yang Longfei was angry and didn't hit anywhere, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Where did you get such a big heat?" Lao Tzu is not in a hurry, but the brigade commander is in a hurry first, and said that he will shoot Lao Tzu, what the is this called? ”

Zhang Shan, the deputy regiment commander who was standing on the sidelines and watching, approached and asked cautiously: "Regiment commander, the brigade commander can't be real, right?" ”

"Hey, why did he cut off Lao Tzu's head? Our group has lost this time, so we should kill Lao Tzu's head? How many battles Lao Tzu has won before, how many devils he has done, why doesn't he say it? What is a defeat in one battle? After scolding for two sentences, you still want to hit Lao Tzu's head? There are no doors! ”

Zhang Shan smiled bitterly: "Regiment commander, if you say this to the brigade commander, it probably won't have much effect." It's obvious, the battle you fought before was also for the National Army, what does it have to do with the Eighth Route Army, isn't it? Your credit book is all in the past, and the brigade commander doesn't eat your ......"

As soon as Yang Longfei heard this, he was angry, he slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth and roared: "Damn, this group of devils is really evil, I have been dealing with Xiao Ni'er for so long, and I have never seen this kind of goods." , just thirty or forty people didn't let the soldiers of our regiment get a step closer. All foreign-made*, this is certainly not an ordinary Japanese army! You have to know where this is a bunch of dog mongrels that came out of nowhere, and I have to kill them with my own hands! ”

Zhang Shan sat on the edge of the kang and comforted: "Commander, you don't have to blame yourself too much for this matter. In my opinion, this group of devils and us just ran into each other by mistake, and judging from the time of the battle, their primary target should not be us, otherwise this group of devils would not have suddenly withdrawn in the middle of the fight. Even the village hasn't gone deep yet, so they just retreated, what do you say they are trying to do? Judging from the corpse left by this group of devils, this is certainly not an ordinary Japanese army. The soldiers have searched it, and the devil still has a melon* hanging on his clothes before he dies, and he must have died before he could throw it out. The outermost part of the uniform is covered with a layer of iron sheet, which I guess is bulletproof, and there are many white spots left by bullets on it. When it comes to bullets, I remember, when cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers picked up a lot of bullet casings knocked out by devils, I have seen it, it is a 9 mm caliber pistol bullet, and the devil's self-made southern style * is completely different from the thing. Regiment leader, I really don't have the ambition of others, to be honest, this bullet was a blood hole when it hit a person, let alone a hole in the chest, and I had to finish the game immediately, and I couldn't save it. The dozen or so soldiers who died in our regiment were like this, either they were not hit by bullets, or they would definitely die! The little devil's marksmanship is good enough, and the point of impact is either the center of the eyebrows or the chest, and one shot kills, and there is no ambiguity. These little Japanese are ruthless enough, and they are all materials for killers. ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care if he is a killer or not, he is the emperor Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will do him! Damn, I have to find a chance to be ashamed as soon as possible, or the brigade commander will have to cut off my head sooner or later! You go and send someone to contact the inside line in several counties near Yangquan, and ask them to help inquire about the whereabouts of this group of devils, and once you have a clue, you will notify us immediately, Lao Tzu must find a chance to have a trick with this gang of bitches! If I don't take revenge, I, Yang Longfei, swear not to be a person! Yang Longfei was so angry that he jumped up directly from the kang, and he stood on the ground viciously and stomped his feet.

Zhang Shan persuaded a few words before reluctantly walking out of the room, the more Yang Longfei, who was alone in the room, felt more and more unhappy in his heart, and he said in his heart that if that group of devils stood in front of him, he could really use the ghost head knife to chop these beasts alive. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, he is afraid that he will suffocate to death! Thinking of this, the angry Yang Longfei roared and lifted the kang table, and chiseled several punches at the adobe wall in front of him.

……

After returning to calm, the independent regiment continued to train for a day as usual, but the mood of the three battalion commanders in charge of supervision seemed to be so restless, and they were also sulking in the battle last night.

Xie Dacheng held a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and scolded: "Fuck, when did you say our group suffered this shit?" During the Central Plains War, Lao Tzu followed our regiment commander to work together, how could he have suffered such a big defeat? This time, the sign of our regiment was completely smashed, and I don't know where the bunnies came from last night, and one person simply killed the twelve soldiers of our regiment, what do you call this? What a grandma's bad luck ......"

"Dacheng, shouldn't you kid be cowardly after this battle? Why do you help the little devil speak? The little devil is called taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, and it is a sneak attack. If you really have that ability, why don't you dare to pull out with our group and fight face-to-face? One person can trample these dogs to death with one kick! You don't have the goddamn ambition of a devil here, and destroy our own prestige! Qian Liyuan, the commander of the second battalion, didn't wait to see Xie Dacheng as soon as he heard what he said, and he went back directly before the words fell.

"Step on a fart, old money, I said that you kid is a 'elm head——— born to be a mallet'! Everything has happened, the casualties are there, do you feel energetic to die like this and live to suffer the crime? You don't necessarily have serious skills, and you can lift the bar all day long...... Lao Cao, who are you sitting like Maitreya Buddha showing to you? If you have something to say, don't hold back your fart. ”

Cao Guang, the commander of the third battalion, sat cross-legged on the ground playing with a few dead branches, and teased: "Everything has happened, and everything that should be lost or not should be lost has been lost, what else do you want me to say?" To put it bluntly, there are people who disagree with me about everything I say now, and I am at fault for the old buddies to help everyone...... To tell the truth, the marksmanship of this gang of devils is not bad, and each of them has the level of a top shooter. It's only because the technology of throwing * is a little more trendy, so that the soldiers of our regiment are slightly injured. Everyone knows that our border area is not as good as the devil's melon*, but they haven't done anything big. I'm really not bragging, if I really turn our weapons and the devil's upside down, not to mention anything else, that melon* will fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu can at least kill his ordinary devil! ”

Qian Liyuan also squatted on the ground and sighed: "I met our deputy regiment commander Zhang just now, and said that the brigade commander was so angry because of this matter that he scolded our regiment commander to the blood." What do you think, when did our head suffer this grievance? I advise you, you have come honestly in the past two days, what should you do, don't dangle in front of the head of the regiment if you have nothing to do, otherwise the temper of the head of the regiment will make him angry, it's strange if you don't eat big-eared stickers, I don't touch this mold! ”

Xie Dacheng glanced at him and sneered: "Old Qian, you just need to keep this in your heart, you don't need to remind us." Lao Cao and I are both well-known good children in our regiment, and among the three battalion commanders, you are the worst. Don't admit it, what the don't you dare to do? When the 18th Army was in Guangzhou, you had to find no less than three good ones on your dog day, if it wasn't for the regiment commander staring at it at that time, your dog day is estimated to have gone to the kiln early! As far as you put the urine sex, others don't know, can we still know? If you want me to say, you should let the regiment commander take a knife and give your kid a gelding, so that you can break this thought. Isn't it? Lao Cao. ”

Cao Guang simply followed happily and coaxed: "That's it, this kid has seriously violated discipline, and it will be light to gelding him!" If I were the commander of the original 18th Army, I would have to bet this kid on the streets! Dacheng, there is something you may not know, at the time of the Central Plains War, our group was in Zhengzhou. At that time, our team fought a tough battle with the enemy, but we didn't expect to run out of food halfway through the battle. At that time, the regiment commander heard that the supplies from the logistics office would not arrive in two days, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head. Alas, the key is in Qian Liyuan, this kid, as soon as he heard that there was no food, he jumped up from the bench directly, and without saying a word, he went to several local landlords and old rich houses with a group of bear soldiers in his platoon to ask for food. The result? The old man has a relationship with the local government, so he is stunned not to give him face. This kid touched his nose and didn't say anything, and let the old man scold him as a bandit. As far as this kid's temper is concerned, do you think he can bear it? He took out a gun and put it on people's heads, scaring people like lotus flowers, saying no, right? Don't be ashamed to give it, it's just right not to give it, Lao Tzu doesn't ask you for it! Brothers, take as much food as you have in the house, except for the rations of a few children! Damn, they're all old coffins, they dare to scold when they open their mouths, they live on dogs at such an old age? You deserve to starve to death...... Alas, later, the relatives sued the lawsuit to the commander of our 11th division, if it weren't for the face of our regiment commander, this kid was killed seven years ago, can he still live until now? I want to be beautiful......"

Xie Dacheng was stunned when he heard this: "Yo, I didn't see it, this kid did this kind of two-pole thing back then?" He kicked Qian Liyuan in the back and shouted: "Old Qian, I didn't see it before, you are really a troublesome material?" If you want me to say, you fucking owe the regiment commander to kick you, or you'll never have a memory. ”

Qian Liyuan jumped up from the ground, patted the dirt on his waist and buttocks, and then looked like he was cheap and obedient and said: "That's no way, who let us die." How did you say we got here for nearly ten years? There are no fewer mistakes, no less crimes, and no less blessings, what are we trying to do? We don't want to do anything, we just don't want to live in vain! Alas, the key is to follow the right person, our head of the regiment is good to me, can I watch our head of the regiment make trouble? No, we have to have a conscience, unlike Lao Cao, a rabbit cub, who beats the monk after reciting the scriptures and loses his conscience! said as if he hadn't touched a bite of the food that Lao Tzu had robbed back then. The cadres and soldiers of the whole platoon are the happiest eaters on this dog day, and after eating, they wiped their mouths and ran to the regiment commander to sue Lao Tzu for his troubles, the material of being a traitor by nature, what is it? With that, he took a big stride and turned around and left.

There was also an insult from the third battalion commander Cao Guang from behind: "Old Qian, you kid make it clear to me!" Who the sued you? Who do you call a traitor? Don't you make this matter clear to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is not done with you......"

……

Pingyao County, located in a certain area of Jinzhong, has just been stationed in a central army unit. The number of the unit is the 88th Regiment of the 89th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and all of them are equipped with German weapons. The regiment commander was none other than Tie Haichuan, the commander of the 89th Regiment who broke up with Yang Longfei's 25th Regiment in the Battle of Nanjing.

Since the separation from Yang Longfei's department, Tie Haichuan's 89th Regiment was transferred by division commander Sun Yuanliang to the Rujiangmen Wharf to assemble, and before the garrison headquarters issued a combat order, the 88th Division was ready to retreat at any time. After the order of "general retreat" was issued, Tie Haichuan's 89th Regiment seized a few clippers and sailed in the direction west of Wuhu and north of Zhejiang, and sailed out of the Yangtze River basin in Nanjing long before Yang Longfei's 25th Regiment arrived at Yanziji.

In fact, Tie Haichuan, who was born as a professional soldier, did not want to retreat at all, if it were not for the division commander Sun Yuanliang who threatened him that if he violated the military order and shot him on the spot, he would really dare to carry a gun and lead his troops to cover the past in the direction of the Japanese army and fight to the death with the enemy.

It's a pity that while there is no lack of blood, Tie Haichuan, who studied in Germany, has been branded with the profound mark of "only the commander's orders are followed" in his bones. His intellect and intuition told him to obey the orders of the commander unconditionally at any time and in any place, and even if the commander's decision was wrong and stupid, he must carry it out!

On the enemy tower at the main gate of Pingyao County, Tie Haichuan was holding a pair of arms and looking at the scenery in the distance. The stacked peaks seem to have turned into rows of houses, and the scene of the Battle of Nanjing seems to be vivid...... Since the destruction of Nanjing, the former "Iron Triangle" has ceased to exist. Tie Haichuan once asked Shang Feng about the whereabouts of Yang Longfei's department and Fang Luocheng's department, and the answer given above was a few words that fluttered lightly: It has not yet been built.

Chairman Chiang's purpose in transferring the Tiehaichuan Regiment to Shanxi was to enable the troops of the Central Army to gain a foothold in Shanxi and prevent Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army from becoming a dominant family, and second, to ask the 89th Regiment to join other Central Army units to restrain the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi.

Tie Haichuan, who had a tendon, was not in this mood at all, he had no intention of becoming an enemy of the local army, nor did he want to get involved too much in some political differences with the Eighth Route Army. All he had in mind was to fight a few tough battles with the Japanese army in Shanxi to show his command and leadership skills. If he could, he also hoped to know the whereabouts of Yang Longfei and Fang Luocheng as soon as possible. With Tie Haichuan's understanding of these two, he was not worried that Yang Longfei and Fang Luocheng would defect to the Japanese. These are two jealous and hateful, love-hate guys, and their national self-esteem is also very strong, and they have never been afraid of fighting with the Japanese in the past. On the contrary, it is on the side of the Eighth Road, if these two big brothers both defect to the Eighth Road, it will be bad.

Tie Haichuan firmly believes that sooner or later there will be a war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it will be a decisive battle between life and death, life and death, and determine the future of the country and the direction of history. If the two seniors are really attracted by the Eighth Route Army, then there will be two more extremely difficult opponents in front of them in the future, which are also a threat to the party-state.

Tie Haichuan silently prayed to the heavens: even if these two people had died in the Battle of Nanjing, they should not be allowed to enter the Communist army, and he really did not want to see the situation of cannibalism one day in the future......
