Section 57 Evacuation

The foliage is dense and the light is dim, and although the dense forest in the hot summer is less exposed to the hot rays of the sun, it is more unbearable and dull. I don't know how many years of rotten leaves and rotten branches have been deposited from the ground from time to time from a pungent rancid smell, which makes people smell sick, and this smell is immediately mixed with the freshness of the grass and green leaves, forming a special smell, which is really overwhelming.

The cicadas are chirping in the branches, and the praying mantis is looking around for delicious food, but they don't know that "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." "More predators are silently watching them around the corner, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

At the same time that this kind of natural natural selection continues to occur, the dense jungle is also beginning to be lively, on a path that has been artificially opened up, a war horse is quietly advancing, constantly touching the branches and leaves stretched out on the side, and there is a burst of "rustling" sound, which is very uncomfortable to listen to in the ears.

"Just gone?" A young captain stood on the side of the road and watched the procession, as if he was talking to himself with great reluctance. From his serious expression and slightly stiff tone, it can be seen that he seems to be in a bad mood at this time, and the murderous aura in his eyes from time to time is even more amazing, making people stay away.

Beside him, an officer who was slightly older than him turned his head when he heard this, and for the dissatisfaction revealed in this person's tone, this person just sneered, with an arrogant and uninhibited look on his face, it was Liu Taiping, the captain and staff officer of the 302nd regiment who had only been promoted to battalion commander not long ago, only to see Liu Taiping's mouth with a slight sneer on his lips: "What, Li Yingfu doesn't want to leave?" ”

Li Shi turned his head to look at Liu Taiping when he heard this, and when he saw his mocking expression, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "What the battalion commander said is really nonsense!" Why don't you go and ask the brothers in the camp who wants to go? ”

Liu Taiping, a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth and is not afraid of even the commander who dares to scold, when he heard this, not only did he not get angry, but laughed and said: "Why should Li Ying keep it in his heart if he has an idea, why don't he dare to go to the group seat in person to say?" ”

Li Shi saw that his eyes widened, and his eyes were murderous and awe-inspiring: "Do you think I don't dare?" ”

"If you dare, what are you doing here?" Liu Taiping sneered and said, his expression full of disdain.

Li Shi was furious when he saw it, and he was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Taiping, and then he shook his head, slowly retracted his steps and said: "Liu Cannon, your agitation method is too bad, do you want to use a certain person as cannon fodder?" When so-and-so is a fool? Last night's order, you called the fiercest, but now it's pretending to be deep? ”

The corners of Liu Taiping's mouth twitched, and the original sneering expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a proud look, he had no interest in arguing with Li Shijian, just looked at the marching team, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to talk about fighting, I ask myself if it is not a point or two worse than Tuanzao, but Tuanzao directly ordered a retreat without saying a word this time, which is too unbelievable." You must know that the brothers have spent more than half a month with the devils in the mountains, and they have to feed mosquitoes without a meal, just to block the road for the devils to go south. With our current firepower, it is impossible for the devil to open up the road to De'an. ”

Li Shi couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said, "Why don't you just go and ask Tuanza directly?" ”

"You ......" Liu Taiping was blocked by him, and immediately choked there and didn't know how to answer, and then saw that Li Shijian had long lost his previous "anger", and immediately sneered, and led the war horse on the side to follow the marching team, obviously knowing that this kid would not be fooled again.

Just when the third battalion had begun to retreat here, on the position of the first battalion deeper in Minshan, Shi Shi was also a little reluctant to look at the surrounding trees and trenches, looking at these extremely familiar things. Stretched out his hand and touched the body of the tree on the side, the bullet holes on it made him seem to see the bloody battle a few days ago, the fierce Japanese army frantically attacked their position, and the mountains and forests changed color, however, under their fierce firepower, the Japanese army finally failed to rush over, just like the previous impact again and again, the devil's attack was repelled by them, leaving only twenty or thirty corpses in front of the position.

"Tuanza, it's almost over, the three battalions have all been withdrawn." Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai ran over with a bow, and when he saw that the stone was a little unguarded, he couldn't help but whisper on the side.

Shi Shi didn't look back, his eyes stayed on the bullet holes on the tree, but he obviously heard Wu Zihuai's voice, and after hesitating for a moment, he immediately asked, "Chief of Staff, do we still have a chance to kill back?" ”

Wu Zihuai was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the regiment commander to suddenly ask him this question, the stone has always stayed on the front line of the trench to fight, and rarely communicates with them, which makes the stone and the lowest level of the soldiers naturally familiar with the abnormal, but with them, these officers seem to have a lot of life, especially the officers who joined later, because they can't understand the temper of the stone and seem very restrained, like now, chatting with friends is really rare.

After Wu Zihuai lost his mind for a moment, he immediately said with relief: "The group seat of the meeting, this time it is just to retreat as an advance, tempting the devil to be fooled, it won't be long before we will make a comeback and step on the corpse of the devil to return to the defense line, as long as the devil in front of us is completely annihilated, the front line of Minshan will definitely be a lot quieter, and the brothers don't have to be afraid every day." ”

Shi shook his head and said lightly: "I can't come back, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to come back." ”

"Why did Tuanza say that? I remember that a few days ago, when the division came, it was the regiment that proposed to retreat as an advance in order to find the key point of the Japanese invaders, and this retreat was not exactly in response to the request of the regiment? Wu Zihuai asked puzzled.

Shi smiled helplessly: "It's different, my proposal with the division seat is to withdraw the two battalions, leave the three battalions to hide on the flanks, and wait for the Japanese army to pursue all the way, and then wait for the opportunity to cut off the back road of the Japanese army and trap them alive in this mountain forest, but now the order conveyed by Shangfeng is to withdraw the whole regiment without leaving one, which is to completely abandon Minshan." ”

Wu Zihuai was also stunned for a moment, he was not too clear about the decision-making between the upper peaks, and it was even more difficult to say anything now, but looking at the reluctant look of the stone, he could only comfort: "Tuanzao, maybe the upper peak has another clever strategy, it is not necessarily, Minshan is the barrier to the north, if it is controlled by the Japanese army, De'an will be in danger, and there will be no peace for a moment, if it is not for special reasons, Shangfeng should not let us withdraw everyone, right?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's not the first time we've encountered such an inexplicable evacuation, Luodian, Xiaoliuhe, Nanjing City, which battle is not at the most critical juncture, Shangfeng has an order to retreat?" There was a rough voice in the distance, and the voice was full of dissatisfaction, it was Liu Wenfeng, the commander of the first battalion.

Shi didn't care about this and asked, "How is the evacuation situation from the first and second battalions?" ”

Liu Wenfeng pursed his lips, full of disdain and said: "What else, the devils don't dare to come, the brothers don't want to go, they are grinding along the way, I don't know if the first battalion can move tonight." ”

Shi frowned and said: "This won't work, once the devil has figured out our bottom and seized the opportunity to kill it, he will rely on a battalion to fight in front, and there will be no chance to get out when the time comes, the speed of evacuation should be accelerated, before dawn, all of them will be withdrawn to the 301st regiment defense area, and all of them will be withdrawn from Minshan before noon tomorrow." ”

Looking at Liu Wenfeng's reluctant look, Shi thought of his previous depressed mood, and seemed to know their thoughts, and immediately said: "Let's go, let's go and see what tricks the tall sledgehammer is playing, I don't want to be said by the peak that we are lawless and violate discipline and obey the order just after a few days of stable life." ”

As soon as he said these words, Liu Wenfeng's anger did not dare to be repeated, it is one thing to want to fight, if he violates the military order because he wants to fight, it is another matter, especially when there are two battalion commanders Hu Liqun and Zhai Yuben who have learned from the past, they dare not give Shangfeng any more handles.

The appearance of the stone is also completely cut off the heart of the soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion who want to stay, in the cold gaze of the stone, they are extremely reluctant to leave the position that they have stayed for half a month, it can be seen from their expressions that there is too much unwillingness to evacuate Minshan under the current situation, but the military order is like a mountain, they can't resist at all.

First the third battalion, then the second battalion, and finally the first battalion behind the cushion was also gone, although the Japanese army in front of them found out that they were abnormal here, but after several heavy defeats, they no longer dared to approach this position easily, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy and suffering heavy losses, a few hours later, the Japanese commander also couldn't help but be curious, sent several scouts, but the situation was a surprise to them.

The original sad front was no longer the slightest counterattack force, and the scouts sent out easily occupied the position in front, which made them feel unreal, even if it was a squad, a platoon, a squad, and a brigade of them rushed over unharmed, they finally understood what was happening, however, in the face of this position, in the face of the empty defense line, the Japanese officers stood on this position that they thought about day and night and looked at each other, they really occupied the target, However, the process was completely different from what they imagined, which made them not have the slightest look of excitement on their faces, and they felt a burst of fear, what trick was the person playing after all?
