Section 33 The situation has changed

The dark sky began to brighten, and the night that shrouded the earth gradually dissipated with the passage of time, and the white of the sky like a fish's belly signaled the arrival of dawn. The day is about to dawn, and the long dark night passes imperceptibly. However, the battle in Gao'an City did not dissipate because of the arrival of dawn, but became more and more fierce at dawn.

The stone didn't seem to be aware of the dawn, he crouched behind a field stalk, carefully observing the situation ahead, Gao'an City was already not far ahead, and there were gunshots and explosions in the city, which made him feel a little calm, but considering that there were traces of Japanese troops around Gao'an City, he didn't dare to act rashly. After observing for a long time, it seemed that there was nothing around him, and this abnormal state made the stone more cautious.

"Is there any news from Camp Commander Li?" The stone thought for a while and asked Lin Xiufeng on the side.

"Previously, he sent someone back a message, saying that he met a battalion of troops on the road, and it was Li Wenguang who led the team out of the city, and now the two are chasing a group of deserters from the Japanese army, judging from the corpses left behind by the other party in several battles, it should be the headquarters of the devil, and many officers have been killed along the way." Lin Xiufeng replied in detail.

Shi nodded and said: "The monkey is bold and careful, and he has always dared to fight, and he will never let go of such an opportunity." After a deep groan, he said again: "It stands to reason that the main force of the first battalion is already outside the city, and the purpose of our operation this time has been achieved, while the sky is not completely bright, it is the best way to withdraw the brothers across Jinjiang, but at the moment there are still gunshots in Gao'an City, I don't know if it is a battalion of troops left behind after the break, if this is the case, we will break off and then withdraw, it is equivalent to abandoning those brothers, they will definitely die in this situation where they are all devils all around." ”

Liu Taiping on the side immediately said: "Commander, what are you waiting for?" Let's go into the city, rescue the broken brethren and evacuate together!" Our 302nd regiment has no precedent for abandoning our brothers. ”

Shi glanced at him, then at Lin Xiufeng, who had a solemn expression, and said, "This is just a guess, and the other possibility is that if the movement in the city is a trap deliberately made by the devils, just to lure us in, what will we do then?" ”

Liu Taiping was stunned, obviously he had not thought of this possibility. In this chaotic situation, where the devil's command is chasing chickens and dogs and jumping around, the little devils still have the kung fu to calculate them? It seemed unlikely, and for a while, they didn't think about how to get their commander out of danger?

But what happens on the battlefield, who can pat their chests and guarantee it? How can there be any ambiguity in this kind of matter, which is related to the lives of hundreds of people.

"Tuanza, I think it's better to send some brothers into the city to take a look, in this case, the possibility of the devil setting up an ambush is not very large, if you miss the opportunity to rescue the first battalion of brothers because of this, I'm afraid everyone will be uneasy." Lin Xiufeng seemed to have reverted to the demeanor of when he was the chief of staff under Ji Hongru at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, he said solemnly, looking quite confident, which was completely different from when he was frustrated in Minshan before.

Shi Ye nodded and said: "Brother Lin, you stay here, the first company is on the left, the machine gun company is on the right, the artillery company is the reserve, and the regimental departments are mobile supplements, and I will take the second company into the city......"

"No", "absolutely not"......

Before the stone could finish speaking, a voice of opposition sounded, and everyone around him disagreed with his risky move, just kidding! They still have so many people here, how can they let the regiment commander personally take people up for an adventure? What time is it, once he makes any mistakes, let alone their brothers here, even the entire 302 regiment will probably be completely finished.

Lin Xiufeng looked more cautious this time, stared at the stone with wide eyes and said, "Tuanzuo, what is your identity now, how can you still do this kind of charging thing in person?" There are so many company commanders, platoon commanders, staff adjutants, which one can't go? They're not there yet, are they? ”

Liu Taiping also scolded angrily: "Regiment leader, you are snatching war merits, you are squeezing our chance to be promoted and make a fortune!" The battle is over for you alone, where are we going to make war achievements? Besides, if you leave a few hundred brothers here, if you want to go to Gu City, there may be ten or twenty people in the city, how can you not tell the priorities? You are a fart regiment commander, you can only adapt to this idea to be a company commander or even a platoon commander! ”

Everyone on the side was stunned, Liu Cannon was really Liu Cannon, and as soon as he opened fire, this firepower was really not blown.

Shi Shi didn't get angry in the face of everyone's opposition, in the face of Liu Taiping's roar, he just smiled bitterly, and then said: "Okay, Liu Taiping, you take the second company into the city, the second company commander listens to your command, and you are fully responsible for the affairs in the city, but one thing must be understood, no matter what the circumstances, you must do what you can, and the safety of the brothers is the most likely to ensure the safety of your brothers." ”

Liu Taiping cheered, and immediately patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, Tuanzao, I'm not a young guy who just went to the battlefield, don't forget, I brought these guys from the third battalion with one hand, and I feel more sorry for them than you." As he spoke, he laughed, and went to tidy up the team.

The stone was not idle here, and one after another orders were immediately issued.

"Send someone to contact the regimental headquarters and tell Hu Zi to immediately move closer to Gao'an City, don't care about the devils over there in Xiangfuguan, and find a way to get rid of them first."

"Go and tell Li Shijian that he will do it alone, let Li Wenguang immediately come with the main force of a battalion to join us, in addition, don't keep prisoners, no matter how big the devil is, kill all of them, not one will be left, if you can't catch up, don't force it, withdraw immediately, we may withdraw at any time."

"Then send someone to the edge of the Jinjiang River to see if we can contact the chief of staff, the sky is already dawning, they are not manpowered, we must pay attention to concealment, if the time is too late, we may choose to break through from the mountains and forests in the northwest first."

……

Under the command of Liu Taiping, the team was divided into four groups with platoon units plus the company squad to cover each other, and the two wings and the middle were clearly hierarchical, even in between the marches, it was enough to deal with the enemy's surprise attack and ambush.

However, it was safe enough along the way, and it was not until they reached the city gate that they finally heard a shout in the city gate cave, which was because there had been fighting outside the city, and the main force of the first battalion had gone out of the city, and the soldiers of the first battalion guarding here were worried that the deputy battalion commander would send someone back, otherwise, a bullet would be enough for them to drink a pot.

The news came back quickly, and what surprised and delighted the others was that there were still people staying in the city, and it was Liu Wenfeng who personally broke it inside, and the surprise was that the number of devils who entered the city was also quite large, because of the disadvantage of the numbers, they now only occupy a few alleys around the north city gate, and they will soon be unable to support it.

Shi Hu looked at Lin Xiufeng on the side suspiciously, and the young regiment immediately asked in surprise: "Battalion Commander Liu only relied on one platoon to block the attack of the devils?" How many devils are there in that city? ”

"No, there is something wrong with the situation here, according to our estimates, the devil's strength is more than 3,000 people, that is, at least one wing or so, part of it is on the front line of Caijialing in the south of the city, part of it is in Xiangfuguan, and the main force is in Gao'an City, the place where we attacked before should be the number of the devil's command is not large, and there are only a few troops of the devil in the city now, where is the main force of the devil?" Shi Shi thought about it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over his body, this strange situation, this kind of complicated battle situation, after so many battles, it was the first time he encountered it, and for the first time, he had a feeling that the battle situation was not in his grasp and expected.

Lin Xiufeng's face turned a little pale, after all, he was born in a civilian position, and he had experienced much less blood and fire than people who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and blood like stones, and his psychological endurance at a critical moment was also much weaker.

"Tuanza, what are we going to do? The main force of the devil may be outflanking in a roundabout way! Shall we go into town? Lin Xiufeng asked with a bitter mouth.

Shi Shi looked up at the sky, just a moment of effort, the sky had already lit up, so close to the distance, he could already see Lin Xiufeng's pale face, although his eyes were not far away, but the surrounding situation could already be seen really, and it was a moment away from the sky.

"No, we can't move, immediately dig the skirmish trenches in place, build a defensive line in place, and from now on, no one will move around at will." After thinking about it, Shi continued to urge: "Send someone to tell Li Wenguang not to come over to meet, go directly to Gao'an City, and take Gao'an City for me in the shortest possible time." Two more people were sent to make a detour to find the regimental headquarters and company, and immediately abandon the previous plan, and let them withdraw directly to the edge of the Jinjiang River to join the chief of staff and go to the east bank of the Jinjiang River to garrison. ”

After arranging these, Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he scolded in his heart: "Damn, go around and around, but it still ends up in the encirclement of the devil, when did the little devil become so powerful?" Can you think of such an unbelievable layout? What the fucking hell. ”

At this time, Gao'an City became more and more lively, because of the addition of the third battalion and the second company, the precarious Liu Wenfeng and others finally relieved themselves and re-stabilized the defensive line.
