PS: I just accompanied the leader to the countryside to inspect it, and I didn't have time to eat to code out a chapter, and the update was late, forgive me!!

The battle went far more smoothly than expected, and the vigor of the Yamashita Brigade had been exhausted in the county seat of Tianzhen, and the independent 7th Division had broken the hastily formed defensive line of the Yamashita Brigade with only two charges. However, Yamashita Fengwen was not unprepared, and the chariot troops immediately stayed behind to break the rear, while the other troops took this opportunity to retreat in the direction of Huai'an.

Originally, Yamashita Fengwen thought that the Chinese army would pursue, but he had just roughly estimated the strength of the Chinese army, at least more than 25,000 people, and there were also formed artillery units, which must be the main force of the 61st Chinese army.

However, what puzzled Yamashita Fengwen was that the people of China only drove them out of the range of Tianzhen and stopped pursuing, and the army was stationed in the county seat of Tianzhen instead.

When Xu Hu arrived at the county seat of Tianzhen, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and unfortunately, Xu Hu walked the main battlefield of Tianzhen - the East Gate Battlefield.

Since the battle had just ended, the battlefield had not yet had time to be cleaned, and there were corpses everywhere. Among the yellow dog skins, the corpses of a large number of ordinary people are particularly conspicuous.

"Report to the division, our regiment has successfully completed the task of holding on, please instruct! Deputy Commander of the 403rd Regiment of the 7th Independent Division of the 61st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Bayan Jiri! ”

"Very good, under the siege of nearly 20,000 troops of the Japanese puppet army, your regiment held on for three days and two nights, gave the Japanese army a lot of vitality and heavy casualties, and completed the tasks assigned by the military department with quality and quantity, and I will personally ask the military department for credit to your 403 regiment later." Xu Hu said with satisfaction.

"Thank you!"

"Bayan, where is that kid Xu Jiangang?" Xu Hu asked.

"Go back to the teacher's seat. The group seat asked us to go to the city gate first and wait for the division, he still has some things to deal with, and he will come later. But it's been more than half an hour, why haven't you come here yet? Bayan Jiri said with a frown.

"It's good if there is nothing to do, he must have a lot of things to deal with so far in the war, so if he doesn't come, he won't come. Bayan, what's going on with the corpses of those ordinary people outside the city, how can there be corpses of ordinary people on the battlefield? Xu Hu asked suspiciously.

The scene suddenly cooled down, and many people began to sobble again. Seeing that the soldiers and officers all looked sad and indignant, Xu Hu knew that something was wrong, so he asked with a cold face, "Say." What the hell is going on? ”

"Master's seat. The little devils of the dog day are not people, and when those brutes saw that they couldn't attack for a long time, they actually drove the people to act as cannon fodder, and forced the people to rush in front with bayonets. They followed. And many people have been strapped to explosives bags. Master, those beasts are not human, woo woo woo" said Bayan Jiri, a Mongolian man, who couldn't help crying loudly anymore.

"You shot?" Xu Bao asked in a deep voice.

"Master, we can't help it. If you don't shoot, you can break it. It doesn't matter if we die, but what about the tasks assigned by the military department, the Japanese are in a hurry, and the people in the city have no time to transfer, what should they do if the city is broken. Master, we really can't help it."

"Shut up, take me to Xu Jiangang!" Xu Hu said loudly.

The group strode to the headquarters of the 403rd Regiment, and from a long distance they saw a group of soldiers guarding outside the regimental headquarters.

"Is the group seat in there?"

"Report to the sub-seat, the group seat has been in there all along, and it has not been out of the air."

"Do you have any explanation?" Bayan Jiri asked again.

"The regimental seat drove out all the staff officers, saying that he should be quiet alone, and the regimental seat also said that if the division seat comes, let the deputy seat directly take the division seat to his office, and specially told only the division seat and the deputy seat to go in." Guard Xiao Xu reported.

"What kind of fame is this Xu Jiangang, let's go, let's go in and have a look." Xu Hu said and strode towards the headquarters of the 403rd Regiment.

Bayan Jiri looked at the guard Xiao Xu and wanted to ask a few more questions, but saw that the division had already gone to the front and hurriedly chased after him. Although Xu Hu's guards also wanted to follow, they didn't dare to make decisions without saying anything, so several people had to stay where they were.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the regimental department, Xu Hu's brows furrowed, and he glanced at Bayan Jiri, and they both saw a deep uneasiness in each other's eyes. As officers who often go to the battlefield, Xu Hu and Bayan Jiri are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and just now they actually smelled a strong smell of blood, and the source of this smell of blood is in the headquarters of the 403rd Regiment.

"Come on, hurry up! Something may have happened to the group! Bayan Jiri hurriedly shouted to several officers not far away.

Then Bayan Jiri kicked the door of the regiment headquarters open, and then rushed in in a hurry, and the scene in front of him stunned all the officers and soldiers who came one after another. I saw Xu Jiangang sitting on a chair in front of the square conference table at the regiment headquarters, the whole person's body was slightly tilted to the left, and there was a blood hole next to Xu Jiangang's right temple that was gushing out of blood, and there were red blood stains everywhere on the already dirty military uniform.

"Tuanza!" With a mournful roar, Bayan Jiri was about to rush forward.

"Stand for me!" Xu Hu said loudly.

"Master's Seat"

"It's useless, Xiao Li, you go find a good coffin." After speaking, Xu Hu's eyes suddenly turned red, and then he said softly: "Xiao Gangzi, why are you bothering." It's the same for everyone in that situation, and it's not your fault, you're doing the right thing. Neither I nor the military seat will blame you, nor will all the Chinese blame you, this account and this blood debt should be borne by the Japanese, and it is not worth it for you to do so. I know that you feel sad in your heart, and feel sorry for those innocent people, but being born in this troubled world is the greatest sorrow, and no one is innocent in this troubled world, just because you were born in this troubled world. ”

Xu Hu was so sad that he couldn't speak anymore, Xu Jiangang was also an old buddy of the Chen family, he was a soldier who was trained by Chen Feng at the same time as Xu Hu and others, and he was also the first batch of officers to be promoted.

"You know, even if the matter is reported to the military department later, the military seat will not blame you, why are you so stupid?" Xu Hu said softly again

After reading the news reported by the Seventh Independent Division, Chen Feng was silent for a long time. Xu Hu may not have expected it, but he knew that Xu Jiangang was defending the reputation of the 61st Army with his own life, although this incident was essentially a sin made by the Japanese, and it was those brutes who lost their bottom line as human beings and as soldiers. But no matter what you say, no matter how many plausible reasons there are, it is heart-wrenching for the country's military to shoot at its own people. People may morally approve of the 61st Army's approach, but emotionally they will never believe in and support the 61st Army as much as before, and there will even be some pedantic people like defenders who will jump out to bombard Chen Feng and the 61st Army.

As hard as this result is, this is the reality, and the reality is so cruel. Obviously, Xu Jiangang thought of this, so from the beginning he didn't ask for instructions from his superiors, he knew that this matter was an unsolvable situation, whoever came was the same, the most rational choice was the most ruthless approach, rather than being ordered by Chen Feng, the army commander or Xu Hu, the division commander, it was better to be ordered by him, a small regiment commander, even if someone was held accountable, he, the commander of the front line of Tianzhen, would be enough to explain to everyone.

But after all, this kid is still just a twenty-two-year-old young man, and he has not yet trained his face or psychological quality to that invulnerability realm, he is guilty, he feels sorry for those innocent people, and finally made this painful choice, or he will even think that as long as he dies, the military department of the 61st Army will put all the responsibility on him, then the 61st Army and Chen Feng will shine as brightly as before.

Standing at the highest point of the Daqingshan base, Chen Feng looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said to himself: "Silly boy, do you think your young master will care about the opinions of those boring bastards, or do you think that your young master doesn't even have the strength to protect himself, your young master really doesn't need you to do such a stupid thing." But don't worry, your young master will not let your blood be shed in vain, this account is recorded by your young master to the nephew of Fengwen under the mountain, and it won't be long before all the principal and interest will be recovered, guaranteed in the name of the Chen family. ”

Looking at the multi-function pocket watch, the hour and minute hands have crossed into a right angle, Chen Feng cleaned up the messy mood a little, and then strode down the cliff, it was time for the army to march, after tonight, he wanted all the Japanese devils to see the strength and courage of the Chinese soldiers.

Came to the small conference room, Wang Hansheng, Lin Yong, Zhang Jingjun and Ma Cao all arrived, and when they saw Chen Feng walking in, the four brave generals sat up with a bang, and without waiting for Chen Feng to let them re-seat, Wang Hansheng, the commander of the Xinghe Garrison Brigade, said loudly: "Report to the military seat, the Xinghe Garrison Brigade has been assembled, there should be 16,549 people, 15,449 people, 1,100 people participated in the study, Wang Hansheng, commander of the Xinghe Garrison Brigade, please instruct?" ”

"Sit"

"Report to the military seat, the Jining Garrison Brigade has been assembled, there should be 18,721 people, 16,648 people have actually arrived, and 2,073 people have participated in the study, Lin Yong, commander of the Jining Garrison Brigade, please instruct?"

"Sit"

Report to the military seat, the Taolin Garrison Brigade has been assembled, there should be 17,741 people, 16,118 people actually arrived, and 1,623 people participated in the study, Zhang Jingjun, commander of the Taolin Garrison Brigade, please instruct? ”

"Sit"

"Report to the military seat, the guards are united, there should be 3,886 people, but there are 3,886 people, the head of the guard regiment Ma Cao, please instruct?"

"All stand", "take a break", "stand upright"

"Now that the assembly is complete, let's act according to the original plan. Your three brigades have developed quite well in the past three months, and the number of people has increased by one-third, but the number of people does not necessarily come up with combat effectiveness. ”
