Chapter 239 Bringing the King In
"Papapa~" Gao Jie picked up the 81 bar and knocked down one enemy soldier who fell behind, and shouted to the officers and soldiers of the second battalion who were swarming up: "Retreat!" After the soldiers received the order to retreat, they realized that their blocking mission had been completed. According to the previously agreed retreat order and route, all the soldiers took advantage of the enemy's retreat and began to evacuate their positions in an orderly manner. The expected enemy pursuit did not materialize, as the enemy was now somewhat overwhelmed. No one thinks about killing people anymore, what they think about the most is to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and save their little life. As for why the enemy retreated, it has nothing to do with them.
Gao Jie, who was a little faltering, looked back at the retreating enemy troops, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "In times of war, people are vying to be traitors. In times of peace, people are vying to be high-ranking officials. He couldn't remember who said that. Although the enemy army in front of them has nothing to do with the traitor or anything, there is one thing they all have in common, that is, they all want to step on other people's shoulders to achieve their own advantage. Whether it is a traitor or a high-ranking official, they all want to trample on others with the power in their hands.
These defeated soldiers also thought so before, and they really wanted to take advantage of the momentum of Changshui to trample on the dignity and even lives of the soldiers in Gangneung. It's a pity that it backfired, to put it in a vulgar way, their current situation is exactly the kind that is strong, and the rape can't be turned off.
"How many brothers have been removed?" Gao Jie put his shoulders on the stocky old Xiang, gathered the team and asked. He couldn't bear to ask how many brothers had been sacrificed, so he could only deceive himself and ask how many brothers had been withdrawn from the old man around him. The second battalion of the Jiangling Self-Defense Force includes Gao Jie, and there are only 31 people in total. After counting the number of people who have been evacuated, the number of people who have been sacrificed will naturally come out.
"I am left in the first company, the commander of the second company, Lu Kuan, the machine gunner Jiang Shuangbing, the soldiers Luo Guangcai, and Chen Jin sacrificed. Three company soldiers Wu Gang, Shi Gui, Jiang Yong, Hu Jing sacrificed. Counting you, the battalion commander, there are still 14 people left in the second battalion. In this battle, we lost 17 brothers. Lao Xiang looked around, they were all people who had dealt with the old on weekdays, and at a glance, who was in and who was not in the past, and soon had a number in his heart.
"Battalion commander, the brethren are all good. After this battle, we have defeated at least 3-40 enemies. Killing one is enough, killing two earns one, and the brethren do not lose. Lao Xiangqiang smiled and crossed his fingers and said to Gao Jie. It's just that the tears in the corners of his eyes betray the true thoughts in his heart. The 31 brothers, more than half of them walked away in the blink of an eye, and it would be a lie to say that they were not uncomfortable. What's more, among the people who sacrificed were old friends who had always been good friends with Lao Xiang.
"Let the brethren speed up their march, I think the enemy should react by now. We're going to get out of the battlefield before they catch up. Gao Jie looked behind him and said to the old Xiang beside him. Many brothers died, and the warriors looked dull and did not move fast. Many people are wiping tears while walking. Gao Jie knew that the warriors were uncomfortable, and he was also uncomfortable. But if you don't retreat to the vicinity of Thunder Mountain before the enemy catches up, once the enemy catches up. So at the moment, none of these 14 people will be able to escape.
"Why do you cheer up and still have a broken face after winning the battle? I feel aggrieved in my heart, I have hatred in my heart, and there will be opportunities for you to take revenge in the future. But now, our task is to withdraw alive. Brother Sen and Mayor Bai are there, but there are other tasks entrusted to us. If you want to take revenge, you must first save your own life. Run up for Lao Tzu, don't grind and chirp like a girl. Lao Xiang tightened the belt of arms on his body and shouted at the soldiers around him with all his strength.
"Quick, quick, run. Our first goal is Thunder Mountain. At the foot of Thunder Mountain, we will be safe for the time being. What the hell, why don't we have a marathon? If there is more than Lao Tzu, after returning to him, Lao Tzu invited him to eat wine and meat for three days. If anyone falls behind Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's stinky socks this month will belong to his boy. Lao Xiang saw that the soldiers were unmoved, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he asked the soldiers to gamble.
"Hahaha~ Lao Xiang, when you take off your socks, even mosquitoes and flies are dead within a radius of more than ten meters. Want us to wash your socks? Dream on you! Brothers, let's eat wine and meat, and we won't wash our socks. Let's go! The smell of Lao Xiang's socks made the soldiers temporarily abandon the sadness in their hearts. I don't know that the leader shouted, and then the surrounding warriors trotted forward one by one.
Gao Jie watched as his brothers began to speed up their advance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile. At this rate, they would be at the foot of Thunder Mountain before dark. By midnight at the latest, the surviving brothers would be able to return to Gangneung. Only after returning to Gangneung can they say that they are truly safe. I don't know when Jiangling has had the meaning of home in the minds of Gao Jie and the soldiers. Only home can shelter people from the wind and rain.
"Lao Xiang, what are you still doing there? If you don't run again, these dozen brothers will eat you. A soldier ran a few steps, looked back at Lao Xiang who was supporting each other with Gao Jie, and said with a smile. Smiles, blooming again on the faces of the warriors.
"Eat, eat, eat, Lao Tzu eats alone, and the whole family is not hungry. If you want to empty Lao Tzu's pockets, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it. Lao Xiang took out a small notebook wrapped in plastic leather from his jacket pocket, buckled the cord and took out more than 10 colorful food stamps from it, and slapped it a few times in the palm of his hand very angrily. It was as if he had not a food stamp, but a stack of beautiful knives.
"Battalion commander, let's run too, we can't let this group of rabbits look flat." Carefully put the stack of food stamps back into the small notebook and clamped it, and then stuffed it back into his pocket, Lao Xiang grinned at Gao Jie.
"Okay, run." Gao Jie endured the pain in his ribs and nodded to Lao Xiang. The wound on the rib was a stone thrown by a cannonball. Although the injury was not serious, it was very troublesome. Every step Gao Jie takes now comes from a tearing pain in his ribs. But in order not to drag the team back, he still gritted his teeth and insisted there.
"Look, sir, is that our team?" Halfway up the mountain, a soldier who served as an observation post handed the telescope in his hand to He Xiaomei. Cheng Sen was in the second line of defense, so he only arranged for He Xiaomei to assist those Jiangling soldiers alone. He himself led the soldiers in the base to build the last line of defense 20 miles outside Gangneung City.
These soldiers in Jiangling knew that Cheng Sen was a popular person around Bai Jie, and every word of Cheng Sen could basically get Bai Jie's support. So even if it was a soldier under Cheng Sen, they were all called commanders. The first is to give Cheng Sen enough respect, and the second is also the equipment of the soldiers in the base, which deterred the defenders of Jiangling! In order to support Bai Jie, Cheng Sen didn't hide anything this time. The fighters are uniformly equipped with the ZH-05, the most advanced individual combat weapon in China. Looking at the dark and thick body of the gun, the soldiers of Gangneung all showed envy.
"It should be, your senior battalion commander is also in that team. However, it seems that their blocking battle is very difficult. He Xiaomei did not go to pick up the telescope, but squinted her eyes and observed the team at the foot of the mountain through the scope on the M99.
"Yes, less than half of the brothers have returned!" The soldier brought the binoculars to his eyes again, looked at Gao Jie and their second battalion and said.
"Signal the teams at the foot of the mountain to pass quickly!" After He Xiaomei finished speaking, she retracted her body back to the rock, adjusted her lying position, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep, she had to seize all the time she could use to recuperate.
"Battalion commander, you see our brother has sent us a signal!" Lao Xiang held his lower abdomen and panted and said to Gao Jie behind him. A small red pennant lit up on the mountainside, and after waving a few times, the small flag quickly hid after pointing out the retreat route for Gao Jie and them. The soldier at the observation post looked through the binoculars and Gao Jie raised his hand to make a gesture, understanding that the signal had been conveyed in place. Hurriedly informed the soldiers behind him that they were all hidden, and there was no need to send any more signals.
"Our people are already in place, let the brothers hold on, hurry up and bypass the Thunder Mountain, we can't drag the brothers on the mountain back." Gao Jie withdrew the 81-bar magazine in his hand and used it as a crutch on the ground. At the same time, he whispered to Lao Xiang.
"Everyone work harder, and we can go home safely by bypassing Lei Mountain." Lao Xiang stretched out his hand to support Gao Jie, whose face was a little pale, and urged the surrounding soldiers with a suppressed voice.
"Damn, that's fast. You useless bunch of people, dozens of people plus a tank, were actually frightened by a motley army of 56 and a half. What's the use of Lao Tzu raising you? It's just a few hundred dogs, and I guess I can bite that position down today. Sun Liren sat on the little jeep with a broken face and shouted and cursed at the soldiers.
"Boss, let's dissipate our anger, it's not that our army is too incompetent, it's that the enemy army is too cunning. After taking Gangneung, it's not too late for the boss to reorganize the team, and these people are still needed! Wang Daimo, the dog-headed military advisor, persuaded Sun Li, who was in anger, in the car.
"Hmm~ I'll listen to you for the time being. After the battle, these people could no longer remain in the army. The army of long water, do not raise waste! Sun Liren forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said there. This time, he was determined to straighten out these temporary workers under him. It's so difficult to fight Jiangling, if you fight other cities to grab territory in the future, if you still count on these fools, then he, Sun Liren, may not even have shit to eat.
