Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the First Army stationed in Jinjin, leaned in front of a chair and rubbed his index fingers on the temples on either side of his head to relieve the fatigue caused by not being able to rest on time. All divisions, brigades, and wings under its jurisdiction have sent telegrams one after another, and the contents are roughly the same, most of them are information such as "all units participating in the battle are progressing smoothly, and all combat units of the Eighth Route Army are retreating one after another." It seems that the effect of this sweep is still quite significant, Iwamatsu Yoshio can't help but rejoice in his heart, he seems to have seen the outcome of this battle: the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army were escorted to him by five flowers, and then cut off their heads with his own command knife, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were leaderless and collapsed, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army would no longer exist......

A Japanese signal corpsman held a new document in his hand and reported: "Your Excellency General, the latest news from the 14th Brigade is that the troops of the Eighth Route Army trapped in the area of remote towns have broken out of the second encirclement of our army, and judging from the number of opponents, it is not much, and it seems that there is only one company of ......."

Iwamatsu Yoshio's smile froze and quickly turned into anger, he slapped the table in annoyance and roared, "Only one company formation? The 14th Brigade was one of the few mechanized units in the First Army's battle sequence, with 4,000 men and horses, and it actually spared a company of the Eighth Route when the difference between the number of enemies and us was 40 times? It's ridiculous! This kind of commander is not worthy of only one brigade at all, it is completely a shame for the soldiers of the empire! How did the commander of the Harada Brigade explain this? ”

"His Excellency the General was furious, and the explanation given by the commander of the Harada Brigade was that soon after the 14th Brigade launched an attack on the troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the interior of the town, Sixia was attacked by several unidentified enemy forces. Due to the enemy's surprise attack from behind, the attack of the 14th Brigade was seriously frustrated, and several defensive connection points were damaged, and many gaps have been torn open by the enemy on the outer line. After identifying the corpses of the enemy, the commander of the Harada Brigade judged that these groups of unknown enemies should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the outer line. As if they had gone mad, they desperately attacked the 14th Brigade's defensive depths, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they still failed to stop their operational intention to try to open the gap, so that the company of the Eighth Route Army was able to break out of the second line of encirclement. It is reported that such battles are still continuing, and some units have even started white-knuckle battles, with heavy casualties on both sides......" the signal corps continued.

"Have you figured out the numbers of these eight-way attack forces?"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, the three brigades of our army located on the outskirts of the town are currently in full swing, but so far, our troops have not caught a single enemy alive, so we have no way of knowing about the number!"

Iwamatsu waved at the signal soldier for him to stand down, then picked up the microphone on the table and dialed the 14th Brigade Headquarters. The person who answered the phone was none other than the brigade commander, Major General Harada Kitagawa. From the microphone side, Harada's voice had become hoarse, perhaps caused by the excessive force of his voice when directing the battle.

"Hey, Harada-kun, how are you doing over there? I've heard some not-so-good news about your 14th Brigade here. What's going on now? Have you figured out the numbers of the attack units of the Eighth Route? ”

"Your Excellency General, my troops are already under attack on all sides at this time, and the Tuba Road is like crazy and constantly launching fierce attacks on the positions of our brigade and regiments, from the beginning of this encounter to the present, the troops of the outer line of the Tuba Road have carried out eight consecutive uninterrupted attacks on the positions of our brigades and regiments, although the Tuba Road has suffered heavy casualties, but its spirit has not diminished in the slightest, and the main peak positions under the jurisdiction of our brigade have also changed hands many times. At present, the Eighth Route in the north has started a white-knuckle battle with the First Infantry Brigade under my command, and one company of the other side has been completely wiped out by our brigade, but so far not a single prisoner of the other side has been captured! The other side had been prepared before entering the white-knuckle battle, and they did not seem to intend to repel us, so each of them carried *or* bags on them, and if they faced the dilemma of being captured by our troops, they would immediately detonate*, and would rather be crushed than captured. Until this moment, we still can't determine the number of the opposing unit......"

"Harada-kun, please keep in mind my instructions to you before the battle began, if anyone fails to command well and lets go of the head of the Eighth Route Army, he should be cut open and punished to thank the emperor. What I want to say is that this order is still in force to this day, so Harada-kun should do it himself! Yoshio Iwamatsu hung up the phone with a "snap".

"Hey, what is Kimura doing now?" Iwamatsu Yoshio called the signal soldier outside the tent and asked.

"Report to the general, half an hour ago I saw that Kimura Daisa was at the station of the 22nd Tank Wing to ask Wing Commander Yoshino about the tactical coordination between infantry fighting vehicles and motorized groups, and the two of them had a very speculative conversation, and it is estimated that the two sides are still in the process ......of discussion," said the signal soldier.

Iwamatsu Yoshio smiled: "It's really strange, according to what I've known about Kimura-kun for many years, I have long judged that this person is an unruly and arrogant guy. Why did he take the initiative to find someone to teach him today? And the question of the question is still the tactical coordination between the relevant mechanized corps, which has nothing to do with the special operations he advocates? In this case, you go and call him to me, and if Kimura Osa asks why, he will say that I have some questions for him to teach me, so go! ”

About twenty minutes later, Kimura Jiwu appeared outside Iwamatsu Yoshio's tent: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Kimura has been ordered to arrive, what are the instructions?" ”

"Kimura-kun is in good spirits, I heard that you were just asking Captain Yoshino about the tactical coordination between infantry fighting vehicles and motorized groups, which really surprised me, I wonder if this is true? Oh, Kimura-kun, please sit ......"

Kimura Jiwu was sitting opposite Iwamatsu Yoshio, looked at each other with his chest straight, and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency Commander...... It's true, it's true. To be honest, I don't know why, but suddenly became interested in tactical issues in this area. Your Excellency the Commander should know that although I majored in step in my early years, I was not strictly a good student, and even somewhat abandoned my major. If it weren't for the rise of the doctrine of special operations on the European battlefield back then, perhaps the unit under my command would not be confined to a special service unit of less than 100 people, but a full wing, or even an independent brigade, after all, most of my former classmates are now among the ranks of generals. Perhaps it was because he had been leading the Secret Service to carry out operations behind enemy lines for a long time, and his mind and mind had become somewhat numb. It wasn't until the start of the sweep that I had the time to change my thinking, and then I asked Wing Commander Yoshino about the strategy and tactics of the large corps operations. ”

"Let me think about your inner thoughts at the moment, Kimura-kun, do you want to combine the theory of special operations that you have mastered with the combat theory of the mechanized corps to create a mechanized corps with special operations standards?"

Kimura Jiwu shook his head with a smile and said: "Your Excellency the commander said that it is undeniable, in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War, I used my brains in this regard, and sometimes I even had an impulse to directly report this idea to the supreme commander of the North China Front. Because at that time we had sufficient resources, manpower and material resources to complete the establishment of such a force. But in the current situation, this idea seems somewhat unrealistic. Since 1937, we have been fighting this war for five full years, and we have reached a state of relative scarcity in terms of resources, troops, manpower, and material resources. If I put forward this idea again at this time, it will undoubtedly make the situation in North China, which is delicate, even worse. My idea is, how to raise the combat effectiveness of the mechanized corps of the North China Army to a completely new level? Before that, I made a data report, and I found that in the battle between our army and the Eighth Route, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us was 9 to 1, that is to say, the Eighth Route needed to exchange the lives of nine soldiers for the death of one Japanese soldier, and this price was undoubtedly heavy for the Eighth Route. But what my colleagues in the First Army are fighting for now is how to continue to expand this ratio, from the current 9 to 1 to 15 to 1, or even 20 to 1 and 30 to 1. From a macro point of view, Mr. Jiang's strategic ideas of 'accumulating small victories into big victories' and 'exchanging space for time' are indeed clever. China has a vast land and a land area 25 times that of Japan, and it is hard to imagine that if we do not increase the improvement of the combat effectiveness of our army's large corps and mechanized troops, and rely on this step by step encroachment, how long will this war be fought before it can be declared over? I'm afraid no one can tell. But as a military commander, I have to express my concern for the future of the Imperial Army, and a very real question lies before us: can we afford this war? ”

"Kimura-kun, if I'm not mistaken, you've asked me more than one similar question, and I've always kept it in mind. Moreover, you have also pointed out on many occasions that you want to reform the current tactics of the North China Army, refer to the strategies and tactics used by the Allies in the European and North African theaters, and effectively improve the combat effectiveness of our imperial army as quickly as possible. However, at present, the top level of the North China Army has no intention of introducing new tactics for the time being, and whether it is Commander Tadajun's 'cage policy' or Commander Okamura Ninji's 'iron-walled encirclement' tactics, they are all original creations of our imperial army, not the kind of allied forces that catch knives. As the commander of the First Army stationed in Jin, I have a lot of things to consider, and you may not believe it, but just maintaining a place is enough to make me anxious, not to mention speeding up the reform of the North China Army's tactics. In exceptional circumstances, it is understandable that we cannot complete a certain task within the given time, the situation is limited, the reality is not as good as ideal, and sometimes we have to give up something, whether from a macro or micro perspective. But one thing you can rest assured is that even if we are responsible in the future, it will not be you and me, do you understand? Yoshio Iwamatsu said earnestly as he wiped his lenses with a flannel cloth.

"What the general means is that Shangfeng has no idea of innovating tactics for the time being, and even if he is held accountable in the future, it will be Shangfeng who will bear the charge of being stubborn and inflexible, and we can stay out of it?"

This is what this means, the innovation of tactical tactics is a relatively far-reaching topic for our army's current situation, the imperial army has been too deep in the quagmire of war, and if a major change in the tactics of warfare is carried out at this time, I am afraid that it will cause a butterfly effect, and there are some unfathomable variables, which often make the ideal backfire. Therefore, the strategy and tactics that our army has at this time are still better to be quiet than to move...... Kimura-kun, shall we discuss it differently? Can you make some kind of analysis of the current war situation and point out some kind of loopholes in the tactical coordination of our army? ”

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask you a question: if one day our army is going to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese army, from the point of view of strategy, what means of warfare should our army first employ?"

"Of course, it is to concentrate the most powerful firepower and launch a fierce attack on the weak points of the enemy's defenses with the coordination of all branches of our army. General Rommel, who is now the commander of the German Panzer Army in Africa, mentioned in his book "Infantry Attack" written when he was a tactical instructor that a numerically inferior army can use more of its own weapons or use more powerful firepower more quickly to suppress a numerically superior army......

"In that case, has Your Excellency the Commander really applied this strategic concept to actual combat? In this sweeping campaign against the base areas behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army, the troops of our First Army sent almost all branches of the troops on active duty, such as infantry, cavalry, artillery, military police, engineers, mountain soldiers, armored troops, and military doctors, but only one branch of the army was excluded. I would like to ask Your Excellency the Commander, where is our aviation? The elite of the entire First Army was all dispatched, so did they want to stay out of the situation and lie in the guard station at Taiyuan Airport to watch the Kabuki performance? ”

"I'm sorry, Kimura-kun, this is my mistake in command and scheduling, in fact, I had plans to transfer the aviation unit to the airspace above the front-line positions before the war, perhaps because of the intensification of the war situation, and I have been busy with official duties for the past two days, and I have been a little dizzy, so I delayed this matter. You're right, after the Tsubaki Road penetrates into the mountains, our tanks and combat vehicles will no longer have a deterrent effect, and the only way to use the air force to cover the rear of its hinterland with firepower will be effective......" Iwamatsu Yoshio wanted to call the guard station stationed at Taiyuan Airport, and ordered sharply, "I am Iwamatsu Yoshio, I want you to immediately notify all the aviation units on standby in the airport, and ask them to immediately put down everything in their hands, board and take off as quickly as possible, and the target is a remote town in the county, and the specific task is personally issued by the commander-in-chief of the flight formation, Sugai Nakasa, That's it! ”

After Yoshio Iwamatsu hung up the phone, Kimura Jiwu stood up from his chair, straightened his chest and stomach, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, since the flight formation is about to depart, it is time for me to go to the front-line position to observe this magnificent scene that is coming." If Your Excellency the Commander agrees, I can command a mechanized unit to block the breakthrough force of the Eighth Route, after all, I have just learned some knowledge about the tactical coordination between mechanized corps from Captain Yoshino, and I am planning to find an opponent to try the depth......"

"You go first, Kimura-kun, if the situation is right, I will approve you to lead the team to block it. I think that in less than five hours, the equilibrium of this battle will be broken by the powerful artillery fire of our troops. I have a hunch that one or two big fish within the Eighth Route Army may be buried in the sea of fire under the cooperation of our First Army's ground-air firepower, and the main forces of the Eighth Route Army will also suffer from the scourge of pond fish, and their vitality will inevitably be severely damaged; if we can completely defeat the spirit and vitality of the Eighth Route Army in this battle, our First Army will never have to worry about the battlefield behind enemy lines in Shanxi! ”

……

The independent regiment circled the surrounding area of Shexian County and slammed left and right like a headless fly, and in the end, even the coordinates and directions could not be clarified, and the troops were trapped in a deep mountain and could not advance or retreat. From time to time, there is a burst of gunfire around you, but before you can find the source of the gunshot, it disappears again. Yang Longfei had an ominous premonition, and he scolded in his heart: How the hell did you lead the way? What the hell is this place? How did you rush from the sheep intestine trail that launched the initial attack into this unfathomable deep mountain and old forest? Judging from the current position, Yang Longfei faintly felt that he had the intention of being brought into the ditch by the devil. There are dark lights around, and there is not even a tree ring with a discerning direction, what a fucking bad luck!

As long as Yang Longfei gets angry, he must first put the responsibility on others, and the guard company commander Shi Chahai has undoubtedly become a tool for him to vent his anger: "Shi Chahai, come over to Lao Tzu...... How the fuck did you lead the way? When you charged just now, your guard company ran the fastest, and according to the depth of the enemy's defenses, it was like burning your ass. It's okay if you chase and fight, you dog's day is to bring the right road, the road is not easy to walk, it's dark, you rabbit cub is good, directly bring the team to the mountain! ”

Shi Chahai was not happy when he heard it, his face was long, and he complained vigorously: "Alas, regiment commander, you have to speak with your conscience, when you charged just now, who shouted at me to lead the team to beat the devil according to the depth?" You gave this surprise order, and I did it all according to your wishes, so why is it my fault again? ”

"Fart, when did Lao Tzu give such an order? It's obvious that your kid is not in good command, and he doesn't care about anything while holding a machine gun, and he slams into the back of the devil's ass like a fly! Lao Tzu hasn't held you accountable yet, have you pushed four, five, or six first? If you dare to raise the bar with Lao Tzu again, I will beat you......" Yang Longfei said angrily.

Shi Chahai smiled indifferently: "Regiment Commander, you are a bit of a power to oppress people, you can't bully us grassroots cadres just because you are the regiment commander, your identity is in front of us, even if you are beaten, it is not good to fight back, this is too unfair." If the job is thrown aside, let's practice one-on-one, you may not be my opponent. ”

As soon as Yang Longfei heard this, he was about to untie his belt without saying a word, this kid is too much of a thing, Lao Tzu has the heart to shut him up, he fucking talks more and more, in front of the soldiers, just like this? Is it tolerable or unbearable, Lao Tzu has to teach this rabbit cub a lesson today...... Before he could take off his belt, Liu Ping, the political commissar in charge of counting the number of people, rushed up and stopped him: "Lao Yang, what are you doing here?" If you have something to say, you can talk about it! Company Commander Shi, you too, the regiment commander is angry, why are you arching this fire? If this belt really pulls you, you will be honest, is it possible that you dare to fight back? A little bit of a look, don't look for scolding on the fire! You go down and rest first, I'll discuss something with the regimental commander!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Ping hurriedly nodded at Yang Longfei and Liu Ping, and was hit on the shoulder by Yang Longfei before leaving, Yang Longfei glanced at Shi Chahai, who passed by with him, with angry eyes, and said in his heart, Little rabbit cub, you wait, and Lao Tzu will find you to settle accounts after the battle......

"Done counting?" Yang Longfei asked straight to the point.

"It's all counted, except for the regimental special service company and the second battalion and the third company, which were disabled when they broke through this morning, the rest of the companies are basically intact, but most of the heavy weapons carried by the troops, such as the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 97 mortar, were abandoned by the soldiers when they broke through. It can't be helped, and they can't be blamed for this, the battle is too fierce, the enemy is biting in the back, and the ammunition is too late to replenish, in order to avoid falling behind, it is understandable that the fighters did this. Although the morale of the soldiers has not been affected, the supply of ammunition has become the biggest problem, and once we fight the enemy at close range, we may not be able to hold out for even half an hour, and then we will only be able to meet the enemy's bayonets. Liu Ping replied.

"We have to find a way to get out of this mountain first, I can't see anything at night now, and I can't tell when it's dawn. If the enemy finds that we are trapped in this mountain and can't find a way out, just come to the grass and beat the rabbit, then we will not be able to fly out even if we put on our wings, and the whole group will be slaughtered by the enemy as a rabbit! Sitting still is not the style of the independent regiment, and at this juncture, don't think about what support you can have, it's all disrupted, and it's almost the same as the enemy. Damn, Lao Tzu has never touched such a moldy head as today, so let the devil bring Lao Tzu to the ditch. My idea is that the whole regiment should be divided into three teams and break through from three directions, so that one or two teams can always rush out. If the whole regiment of soldiers goes towards a point, and the way out is not found by then, the people will die of exhaustion first, and we can't do this kind of thankless deal. ”

"I agree that in this case it is much more likely to break out and break out than to break out with the whole regiment together. So how should the teams be grouped? And once the team breaks through, how should they get in touch with each other? This is a problem, it needs to be discussed, there must be a destination, and we can't run around like a headless fly! Liu Ping said with both hands in approval.

"The division of troops is easy to do, just follow the previous establishment, with the battalion as the unit, each company and platoon will be quickly rebuilt, the reconnaissance company will be temporarily divided into three battalions, under the full command of you and the commander of the third battalion, most of the reconnaissance companies are veterans with rich combat experience, and they are familiar with the ground, and they can play a big role in critical times; The regimental team directly under the regiment was assigned to the second battalion, and the command was entrusted to Chief of Staff Lin and the commander of the second battalion; As for the guard company, they followed me and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang to join the establishment of the first battalion, and the spies even counted the soldiers who could be counted on their fingers, I don't think you want them, I will assign them to the battle sequence of the guard company, and give them to the first battalion. As for the contact between teams, I think it's free. Now that there are battles going on everywhere, I may not be able to hear if you put two cannons on the top of your head, and if you don't make a good scene, you will attract the enemy. I carefully studied the map before dark, and there should be a place called Baijia Town near the direction in which we launched a breakthrough. I'm stuck in the mountains now, but I think if I get out of the mountains, I can find this place. Well, bite the hell, that's where we'll meet up later! ”

"No problem, I'll go to the third battalion immediately to issue this order......" Liu Ping nodded outrightly.

Yang Longfei was happy: "It's really weird, is it possible that your old Liu is also a donkey, leading and going backwards?" If only you had this attitude when you first came to the independent group, we wouldn't have a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face......"

Liu Ping retorted with a smile: "What words? is still holding and going backwards, saying that I am like hob meat. To tell you the truth, I am a person with a problem, but there is one thing that cannot be allowed by others to fake, that is, I myself am the most annoying to sell dog skin plasters, and those who have the ability can always gain my respect. If you make a mistake in command, I will correct it in time, and if you command properly, I will raise my hands in favor of it...... Or what do you think? I'll fight you if I have something to do, I'm full? The food treatment of our Eighth Route Army is not as good as this, right? ”

Yang Longfei smiled evilly: "It seems that the political commissar is not very satisfied with the food of our independent regiment?" It doesn't matter, after this battle is over, I'll find a time to set up a good table for you, you can make big fish and meat, and it would be better if there was a little daughter-in-law wearing a red coat next to you......"

"Fuck you, Lao Yang, you kid is cheap and good-natured, and after just a few words, he started to be out of tune again? I said, could it be that you used your brain in that direction, and you were embarrassed to take the initiative, and then put it on me than to be addicted, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you also underestimate Lao Tzu and me, is Lao Tzu that kind of person? We've always been proactive in this regard, and we still need to be addicted to your dog's body? The gossip ends here, there is something to wait for after the breakthrough, and the companies will set off as soon as they are rebuilt, and hurry out while it is dark, and they will be in trouble when it is dawn. ”

……

As Yang Longfei said, it was not only his independent regiment that was disrupted in the battle, but even Fang Luocheng, the commander of the old third regiment who had been transferred to the second column of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border region two years earlier, also led the team into the junction of the three provinces in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region in a daze. The battle continued until midnight, when the vanguard of the 3rd Regiment took refuge in an unknown village for a temporary rest.

The staff officers of the regimental headquarters spread out the map and chirped and discussed for a long time, but no result was discussed, and the main reason was that the position of the team had not been accurately judged. Some people believe that this is the area of Wangjiabao located at the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei; Some people believe that this place should be located in the area of Licheng Township in Liao County; Some staff officers, however, insisted that the troop should have crashed into the mountains by mistake, and judging from the map, the current location of the troops should be in a col called Crooked Head Ridge near Fuping County......

Fang Luocheng, who was smoking a dry cigarette on the side, only felt like a swarm of flies buzzing in his ears, he showed an extremely impatient expression, immediately interrupted the dispute of the staff officers, and scolded one by one: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" You say a word to me, like a fucking donkey barking trough, what is the noise? Talking, talking about a fart! One by one, they pouted and looked at the sky——— there were no beads, and Lao Tzu couldn't stare at it for a while? Noisy, noisy, get out of here! ”

Seeing that the regimental commander was angry, the staff officers had no choice but to disperse in all directions. Seeing this, Gong Jianlin, the deputy head of the regiment, immediately came up and asked cautiously, "Commander, what's wrong?" I remember you haven't had such a big fire in more than half a year, isn't it just a counter-sweep? As for moving so much liver fire? The devil is painting a gourd according to the scoop, and he hasn't played any new tricks for so many years, so we have long adapted to it. Isn't it just that you are surrounded by enemies? Isn't it just to hit out? ”

Fang Luocheng softened his tone and said, "It stands to reason that it's nothing, we have probably experienced dozens of sweeps like this in the past. But this time the situation seems to be different, and I can't say how it feels, but I always feel that something is not quite right in this battle. According to the original deployment, our regiment should have broken through to the west along the Tongpu Road, but now it is good, the battle has been fought for a day and a night, and in the end, even the staff officers of our regiment cannot figure out where the current specific location is, which is a bit ridiculous. What worries me the most is how to get in touch with the higher departments, even if it is with the brigade or column level leaders...... Alas, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu really regretted that he couldn't capture a radio station when he was fighting in the past, and now he just wants to contact others and shave his head ——— be hot. Now I'm still stuck in this col where birds don't shit, and I can't even find my way out, what a fucking grievance! You say, Lao Tzu has been fighting for so many years, when did he suffer from this kind of wretchedness? ”

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong also began to worry and said, "Yes, there is indeed a bit of a problem in this battle. You see, before the battle began, our Second Column had clearly drawn up a relatively complete set of operational plans, and the breakthrough routes of each unit were also planned in advance. But who would have thought that people are not as good as heaven, the devil's firepower is more ferocious than ever, and the enemy's encirclement and suppression troops are like an iron bucket encircling us in their blockade line, and if you want to tear a hole, you must pay huge casualties, and the possibility of preserving the system is almost zero. I just counted with Chief of Staff Liu, this battle alone has more than 30 non-combat attrition, more than half of the reconnaissance company in charge of the assault mission has suffered casualties, and the rest of the companies have also been damaged, this is only one battle today, the situation may be even worse in the future, no one can tell the pulse of the devil, and I don't know which crazy they sent this time, like a group of vicious dogs, it will not be light if they bite it, and it seems that there is no intention of loosening their mouth if they don't pull a few pieces of meat......"

"Lao Gong, you just said that this battle was more than thirty non-combat attrition alone, what is the situation? Tell me more about it. Fang Luocheng asked.

"It was a platoon of the third battalion, and all 37 people, from the platoon commander to the soldiers, were missing. I have investigated and found that this platoon was not highly motivated in previous operations, and it has never served as the main peak mission, and this time it has collectively left the organization, and I think we cannot rule out the possibility of defection, and we must also heighten our vigilance to avoid a similar situation from happening again. ”

Fang Luocheng collapsed on a few sandbags, and before he had time to wipe his dusty face, he closed his eyes with difficulty, gritted his teeth and entered silent deep thought. In addition to the pessimism about the prospects of the battle, there was also a trace of bitterness that could not be described in words. He laughed at himself in his heart: Lao Tzu has led soldiers for so many years, has been a regiment commander for so many years, has experienced hundreds of battles of all sizes, and he has never been afraid of the tip of the knife on the bridge of his nose, what is wrong this time? Guerrilla warfare, which used to be regarded as a housekeeping skill, has become vulnerable at this time, damn, a group of veterans who play eagles have let the eagles peck their eyes! And the platoon-level formation, which has lost contact with the main force, was stunned that there was a collective detachment from the formation in this battle, and thirty-seven people ran away at once? His grandmother's, what's this called? Is it because the soldiers are weak in willpower, greedy for life and afraid of death, or Lao Tzu, who is the head of the regiment, has no way to manage the army? If this matter is spread out, it will not be enough for others to laugh off their big teeth, especially to let Yang Longfei's kid know, he has to use this as a joke and spread it to everyone in the whole division...... Eh, what is this guy doing now? You can't be like Lao Tzu, right?
