With Lu Jianbang, a good battalion commander, reminding him of his death, the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion finally did not suffer major casualties.

Lu Jianbang pulled open the nose of the box gun, and then placed the box gun on the edge of the trench, while shouting loudly: "Listen to Lao Tzu, before Little Japan approaches, no one is allowed to shoot, and whoever dares to shoot, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”

Lu Jianbang's order was quickly conveyed, and the officers and men who had just entered the firing position released their fingers that were tightening the trigger.

A few veterans from the Third War Zone even squatted back in the trenches, took out dry tobacco pipes and smoked dry tobacco, these veterans almost all crawled out of the pile of dead people, they knew the rhythm of the attack of small Japan well, from the time when Little Japan stopped shelling to the time when their infantry approached the position, this time was enough for them to smoke half a bag of cigarettes.

At this time, the smoke of gunpowder began to dissipate from the position, and the vision ahead began to become clearer.

Lu Jianbang hurriedly raised his binoculars and began to carefully observe the sortie position of Little Japan on the opposite side.

In the field of vision, Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, constantly emerging from the sortie positions, and then pulled a wavy line of sparse evacuation troops, holding bright bayonets and slowly pressing towards the defensive position of the 3rd Battalion.

Lu Jianbang slowly turned the telescope, mentally calculating the strength of the little Japanese attack, one group, two groups, one team, two squads...... In this attack, little Japan fully invested the strength of a squadron, and it was obvious that little Japan was planning to move seriously this time, and it was no longer a tentative attack.

"Damn, according to Lao Tzu's temper, I have to be ruthless to Little Japan." Lu Jianbang smashed his fist on the edge of the trench, but unfortunately, Xu Shijiu had already made it very clear that once Little Japan was serious, he had to withdraw, put away the binoculars and box cannon at the moment, Zuihou turned around and ordered his guard platoon commander to say, "Pass my order, withdraw"

"What, withdraw?" The guard platoon commander was confused, and he didn't fight, so he withdrew?

"You have donkey hair stuffed in your ears, and you can't hear me? Withdraw" Lu Jianbang was furious.

"Yes" the guard platoon commander finally reacted and responded, "Withdraw"

The artillery roared ahead, but there was silence on the sortie position of the Longkou Mixed Brigade of the puppet army.

Wang Fusheng called his two company commanders to him and ordered: "L company commander, company commander, you have listened carefully to me, it is just that little Japan will not let us go to the battlefield later, once we are allowed to go to the battlefield, you must not give me the truth, no matter what, we are brothers with them, although it is said that now each is its master, but it will not be against each other." ”

The company commander frowned and said, "Deputy regimental seat, let's miss the old love, but they may not miss the old love?" ”

The company commander also said: "Deputy regimental seat, little Japan is not easy to fool, don't mess with them." ”

"Fart" Wang Fusheng said angrily, "Anyway, I have already made it clear to you, what will I do later, that is your own business, if you don't want to leave a way back for yourself, wait until you go to the battlefield, just play really." ”

The two company commanders looked at each other, looked back at Wang Fusheng, and said, "Deputy regimental seat, we listen to you." ”

As soon as he settled his two company commanders, the person who said three punches came, saying that he was invited over to discuss something

When Wang Fusheng came over, he found that Niu Sigen and Niu Yutang had already sat there, Niu Sigen and Niu Yutang looked at it indifferently, Wang Fusheng also looked back indifferently, and the eyes of the three of them showed undisguised alienation, because they did not become the head of the regiment, the beam between Wang Fusheng and Niu Sigen brothers was concluded.

Yan Sanquan was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent, and got up and beckoned Wang Fusheng to sit beside him.

"Today I gathered everyone, there is only one thing, when the war goes well, then I won't talk about it, if the war doesn't go well, little Japan will definitely use us as cannon fodder, the brothers have all listened, if you really want to go to the battlefield, don't be too playful, shoot a few shots in the sky, the meaning is almost the same, convenient with others, convenient with yourself, isn't it?"

Yan Weixin objected: "Big brother, isn't this good?" If Little Japan finds out, you will definitely be held responsible. ”

"What's the responsibility and not the responsibility, you kid knows a fart." Yan Sanquan brutally interrupted Yan Weixin, "You can't be too pivotal, you have to leave a way back for yourself." After speaking, Yan Sanquan asked Niu Sigen, Niu Yutang and Wang Fusheng again, "If the three of you think that what I said is reasonable, then listen to my advice and don't play the truth."

Niu Sigen and Niu Yutang glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "We must only pay attention to the head of the horse." ”

Yan Sanquan looked at Wang Fusheng again and asked, "Deputy Head Wang, what about you?" ”

"I'll listen to the brigade." Wang Fusheng also replied briskly.

"Okay, then you can go back first, and restrain the troops." Yan San waved his hand and sent Niu Sigen and the three of them away.

When Niu Sigen, Niu Yutang and Wang Fusheng walked away, Yan Weixin lowered his voice and asked, "Big brother, do you think Niu Sigen will listen to you?" ”

"What do you say?" Yan Sanquan asked rhetorically.

"I don't think he will." Yan Weixin said, "And he will definitely go to the old devil Haneda to sue the eldest brother about you." ”

Yan Sanquan smiled and said: "Restoration, your brain is good, but your grasp of human nature is still not enough, I dare to bet with you, Niu Sigen is really going to the battlefield, he will definitely not use all his strength, however, you said that he will go to Haneda to sue me for his troubles, the possibility is still very high, however, if he wants to sue, let him sue." ”

Yan Weixin said: "Big brother, aren't you afraid that the old devil of Haneda will settle accounts with you?" ”

"No, at least not yet." Yan Sanquan said, "The old devil of Haneda is not stupid, he supports Niu Sigen to sing against Lao Tzu in order to better control the Longkou mixed brigade, if he really takes me down, then no one can control Niu Sigen, which is not in the interests of Little Japan, and it is not in line with the original intention of the old devil of Haneda." ”

Yan Weixin said again: "Big brother, if we go to the battlefield later, why don't we forget it at once?" ”

"Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, this is for Niu Sigen and they listen, do you believe it?" Yan Sanquan said, "The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui has a grudge against our Yan family for killing our father and destroying our family, how can it be easily exposed?" Besides, even if we sell it to them today, they will be able to let us go the next day? Dream on you."

"That's right, the eldest brother has a point." Yan Weixin nodded again and again.

"So, if you really go to the battlefield later, you must beat me hard and fight to the death" Yan Sanfist said fiercely, "Restoration, you remember, your eldest brother and Xu Nineteen can only live one"

"Retreated?" After receiving the report from the Yamamoto brigade, Fujido Takaei was obviously stunned for a moment, this battle had just begun, and the two sides didn't even have a decent confrontation, so the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui withdrew? This doesn't seem to be in line with Xu Shijiu's usual style?

"It's weird." Haneda also said puzzledly, "Could it be that after a long period of cage blockade and the heavy blow some time ago, the fighting spirit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has collapsed, so the imperial army has not even officially attacked, and they have collapsed?" ”

"No, it's not." Fujitang Gao Ying said, "Although the cage blockade can cause great difficulties to the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and the blow some time ago will definitely affect their morale, but it is impossible to have such a serious impact, there must be a conspiracy in the middle." ”

"So, what kind of conspiracy could it be?" Haneda asked.

Fujitang Gaoying pondered for a moment and said: "Order, the Yamamoto Brigade catches up and bites the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, I want to see, what kind of medicine is sold in Xu Shijiu's gourd?" ”

"Hello." The adjutant bowed heavily and took orders.
