Section XXXV

Just when Cheng Zhi, the commander of the 302nd regiment, was angry, in a dark place in the distance, an extremely sudden shout from a sentry came: "Stop, password?" Which troops? This sudden sound immediately attracted everyone's attention, and at the same time, a dull sound of "plopping" colliding appeared, apparently because the night was too dark and the supporting teams collided.

A panting voice appeared in this mixed sound, the voice was intermittent, mixed with heavy wheezing, a little vague and inaudible, "I am Zheng Pusheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment, and I came to gather on the order of the regimental seat, which unit are you from?" ”

Cheng Zhi, who was on the fire, heard a sound dozens of steps away from a distance, and found that it was the camp that made him so hot that he arrived, and immediately scolded in his voice without any scruples: "Zheng Pusheng, do you still want to fucking have a head?" When is it now? While scolding, Cheng Zhi also rushed over quickly, and his angry appearance was full of murderous energy.

Hearing the voice of the battalion commander, the stones on the side also followed quickly, and he also needed to report to Camp Commander Zheng that they had arrived.

Zheng Pusheng heard the scolding of the head of the regiment, but instead took a long breath and said, "Tuanzuo, are you waiting for us here?" We had an accident on the way, and we were delayed for a while, by the way, did they arrive at the three stones? ”

Cheng Zhi rushed over, raised his leg and kicked it, that angry look, directly everyone around him did not dare to make a sound, Cheng Zhi glared at a black shadow in front of him and scolded: "Damn, something happened?" How did you become a battalion commander? Is there still a sense of time? Do you understand what it means to have a military order? Got you here before dark, and when is it? ”

Zheng Pu was kicked stiffly, without even any dodge, and when Cheng Zhi finished scolding, he said: "Tuanzao, we met the 58th Division halfway, and Brigade Commander Wu of the 174th Brigade asked our battalion to cooperate with the transportation of the wounded and weapons, and delayed the city for 2 hours near Beixinjing and Bazi Bridge. ”

"When is it time to have the heart to do these things? Don't you know to send someone to report it in advance? After Cheng Zhi heard Zheng Pusheng's words, he already knew about it and couldn't blame him, but his tone was still stern, and his expression was still serious and scary.

Zheng Pusheng didn't know if it was because he was in a bad mood after being kicked, or because he had something else on his mind, so he obviously didn't have the interest to speak, but just followed his words: "Yes, the lesson of the group seat is that I mishandled it, please punish the group seat." ”

"I don't have time to settle accounts with you right now! Zheng Pusheng, the stone has already arrived one step ahead of you, you immediately gather people for me now, hurry up and rest, the order may come down at any time, I don't want you to have any problems. After Cheng Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the people who followed him should all be staff adjutants and guards of the regiment headquarters, so they naturally left, leaving only Shi stunned there, and said with a wry smile: "Battalion commander, we don't know the road, we have only arrived for a while." ”

Zheng Pusheng looked at the direction Cheng Zhi left, but he shook his head blankly, he didn't even have the mood to ask about these things, and said with a long sigh: "It's okay, it's good to arrive!" It's okay when you get there. After speaking, Zheng Pusheng sat down as if he was tired and collapsed, and sat on the side of the road with such a big thorn, ignoring the order of the regiment commander to gather troops to rest and recuperate.

Shi Shi looked aside, and by the light of the torches in the distance, he could vaguely see that Lao Meng and Zhu Zi were also sitting together, which made him feel relieved, and looked around to see that there was no one around, and then asked Zheng Pusheng in confusion: "Battalion commander, what happened?" The situation is not quite right today, and the chiefs seem to be very angry. ”

Zheng Pusheng lay down and flattened his body, it seemed that only in this way could his fatigue be relieved, listening to the questioning of the stone, he smiled bitterly and muttered: "Stone, the battle is over!" ”

"The battle is over?" Shi exclaimed, looking at Zheng Pusheng lying on the ground with a strange face, his face was full of incredulity, although they were retreating during this time, but a few days ago, he also heard that this retreat was just to enter the second phase of the first line of Liuhe, Shenjiaqiao, Chaowangmiao, Xujiaxing and other front-line positions for defense, at the same time, the 58th Division near Luodian was still waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, constantly putting pressure on the enemy, such a bloody battle where every inch of land must be fought and blocked step by step, it seems that I don't know how long the battle will last, and it ended in vain?

Shi looked at Zheng Pusheng again, and extremely doubted that the battalion commander had been on the road for a day and was tired of talking nonsense?

"Shangfeng's order has been transmitted to all departments, and the troops on all fronts are retreating, and I think it will be three or four days, and we will all have to evacuate this battlefield." Zheng Pusheng lay there and said calmly, as if none of these things had anything to do with him.

Shi Shi was shocked by the news and was speechless, and it took him a long time before he said, "Battalion commander, what happened?" Why is it suddenly about to withdraw from the battlefield? The battle was over so soon? Did we win? ”

Zheng Puchang sighed and said, "Won the war?" If we really win, where do we need to retreat? Lost, this battle is completely lost to the little devil, if you don't hurry up and retreat, I'm afraid there will be a lot of losses along the way. ”

"Lost? Luodian is still holding on, and there are defenders in Jiading, why did he lose this battle? Don't we have a second line of defense to fight the devils? Stone's mind still couldn't figure out the situation in front of him, and muttered that what he had learned was obviously a long way from separating the winner.

Zheng Pusheng lay down for a while, his strength seemed to have recovered a lot, and at this time he sat up and whispered: "At dawn today, the devil's reinforcements have landed in Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, it is said that it is an army, with about 100,000 people!" ”

"Jin Shanwei? 100,000 people? Shi was shocked by Zheng Pusheng's words and didn't know what to say, for a person who has only been in contact with the battle situation of more than 1,000 people at the regimental level since he joined the war, the number of 100,000 is too huge, and even the space for imagination has been greatly restricted.

"Do you know how many defending troops we have in that area?" Zheng Pusheng asked again in a self-deprecating manner.

Shi shook his head, he didn't even have the mood to speak, although he didn't know where Jin Shanwei was, but the devil suddenly had an extra 100,000 reinforcements, this strength was too terrifying, he now believed what the battalion commander said that the battle was defeated, and this change was too sudden.

Zheng Pusheng didn't pause because of the complicated emotions in Shi's mind, he shook his head and sighed: "The three companies add up to less than one battalion, and they are scattered on the defense line for more than ten miles, such a battle, the gods can't win it!" 100,000 people, let alone devils, even 100,000 pigs at a time, can destroy those three companies with their mouths! ”

Jin Shanwei didn't know where the stone was, in which direction Hangzhou Bay was, and the stone felt too far away, but what made him think deeply was that after such a long distance of an increase in troops, this seemingly vast battlefield suddenly divided the victory and defeat, and this immediate effect deeply stimulated the stone.

It is said that hundreds of thousands of reinforcements are also coming from their side, but why did they not have a big impact on the outcome of the war?

Seeing the stone with his head low and not saying a word, Zheng Pusheng also had no interest in speaking, like this bloody battle related to the survival of the country and the danger of the nation, the result was defeated, this cruel reality made every person with lofty ideals linger, and his confidence in the future and future fell to the lowest point, he sighed, Zheng Pusheng looked at the stone again, and said slowly after a while: "Look at the people of the third company, don't get separated, now all the troops are in chaos, if they are scattered, it will not be easy to get together again." ”

Shi Muran nodded, that look, I don't know how much I listened to what Zheng Pusheng just said. Seeing the stone walking towards the place where Lao Meng and them were as if he had lost his soul, Zheng Pusheng wanted to remind him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say at all. After being stunned for a moment, he himself was absent-mindedly walking towards the place where he came, and the other companies of the first battalion still needed him to command and arrange, at least before receiving the order, he had to let those brothers who had been running wild all day have a good rest.

Lao Meng, Zhuzi, Liu Wenfeng and several other backbones of the third company saw the stone come back, and naturally gathered to inquire about the situation, but after seeing the stone looking like a lost mind, they also had a faint sense of foreboding in their hearts, after all, today's big stride to evacuate is more like a rout, which always gives people a feeling of uneasiness in the heart.

In this dreary and oppressive atmosphere, there was another commotion in the distance, and faintly the sound of shouting passwords and clanging collisions could be heard, and it should be that another group of people had just arrived at this place.

Lao Meng's rich experience played a role at this moment, this kind of atmosphere made him faintly familiar, after thinking about it, he was stunned to find that when they rushed here to participate in the war, it seemed to be the same situation when they gathered, and the whole division was gathered together in an extremely sudden situation, thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "So many troops rushed here in the dark, what kind of big counteroffensive action is it?" Or are you going to retreat? ”

Lao Meng's words obviously touched the nerves of the stone, and I saw him say in a tone that almost cried: "The battle is over, we are going to retreat......
