Section 43 Desperate Situation

The stone agreed to the important task of guarding Minshan, which made Zhou Zhidao overjoyed, and then the stone unceremoniously asked for a large number of supplies such as grain, grass, and baggage, since they let them work hard, they want the horses to be good, and it is impossible to think that the horses do not eat grass, Zhou Zhidao is obviously well aware of this, and agreed without hesitation, but on the issue of supplementing the soldiers, Zhou Zhidao gave the stone a negative reply, and what Chief of Staff Sun said before was not exaggerated, in the case of fierce fighting on the Nanxun line, The follow-up forces were all given priority to replenish the units of the First Army and the Thirty-second Army Corps, and there was no surplus manpower to be distributed, especially when it was uncertain whether there would be any fighting on the Minshan front, and this kind of rectification and replenishment requirement was simply difficult to meet.

Shi Shi also seemed to anticipate this, and immediately asked the brigade commander for the people's husband, although this request was also a little difficult to do, but compared to the young and strong, the people's husband who transported the baggage was still a little free, and if it was only a part of the supplement, it should not be a big problem.

After sending off the brigade commander, the position of the 302nd regiment fell into complete silence, no one spoke, no one dared to talk about the current situation at will, the change of Ruichang's recovery and loss undoubtedly cast a shadow on their hearts, and the ensuing war made them feel breathless.

"Uncle Zhou, you will go to the brigade headquarters in a while to take over the affairs of the people and supplies, the war is about consumption, and it is not easy to fight without enough supplies." The silence was broken by the stone's opening, but the voice was as strong as ever.

"If you want it, I'll go now, those people will do things, and they can't do it if they don't keep an eye on it." Zhou Quanfu's face was full of wrinkles, and at this moment, the two gray brows were wrinkled together, looking quite anxious, and after seeing the stone and nodding, he saluted and left in a hurry.

"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Shi watched Lao Zhou leave, turned his head and asked.

Wu Zihuai thought about it, but said with a wry smile: "Tuanza, this battle is difficult, the brigade seat with the 301st regiment stationed in Ruichang still retreated so quickly with the cooperation of friendly troops, we are in the mountains and forests, although the devil's forces are difficult to deploy, but the woods are complicated, I can't tell when we will make a detour and touch our flanks, plus we can't see anything at night, this battle is difficult." ”

Gao Sledgehammer snorted coldly on the side and said: "Shangfeng is a good calculation, we will withdraw to feed the mosquitoes after winning the battle, we can't stand it, so let us go, dare to love us is raised by our stepmother, grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love, can only be used as cannon fodder?" ”

Shi waved his hand and interrupted Gao Sledgehammer's words: "Now is not the time to complain, what the brigade is right, only our regiment adapts to the environment here, blocking the way for Ruichang's devils to go south, we are the most suitable, but now we are discussing how to fight this battle, not whether it should be fought." ”

Gao Sledgehammer snorted coldly again and stopped talking, usually he didn't say much, this time he was obviously uncomfortable in his heart, so he complained a few words, and now he was speechless when he saw the stone's determined expression, in fact, he also understood in his heart that since the brigade seat had already made it clear by name, then their 302nd regiment would definitely not be able to run away in this battle, and there was no point in saying anything more.

"Tuanza, knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, the 301st Regiment has just withdrawn from Ruichang, and the situation of the Japanese army is definitely much more familiar than ours, so it is not too late to inquire with them about the situation before making a decision." Wu Zihuai waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and then said on the side.

Shi immediately nodded yes, and immediately asked people to urge the commander of the first battalion to speed up the deployment, and at the same time personally led people to meet the front of the woods, and personally rushed to meet the brothers who had withdrawn from the 301st Regiment.

Minshan Mountain is high and dangerous, there are many trees, especially now that it is the height of summer, it is full of thorns and vines, which makes the evacuation of the 301st Regiment quite difficult, if they are not sure that there is really a road to De'an ahead, I am afraid that many people will have to turn around and retreat, and would rather detour dozens of miles.

However, such a slow action provided convenience for Shi and others, and he took several commanders of the 302nd Regiment to personally visit and greet Zhang Handuo and others of the 301st Regiment, and finally learned about the situation on the front line of Ruichang by taking this opportunity.

Although because of the brigade seat, the commanders of the two regiments are always inevitably a little embarrassed when they are facing each other, but to be able to get such a position, no one is an idiot, no matter what he thinks in his heart, his face is very cordial, Zhang Handuo, the head of the 301st regiment, knows everything about the situation in Ruichang, anyway, the next 302 regiment will investigate in detail, he might as well sell a favor, which also makes the relationship between each other very harmonious.

They had been busy until dusk, when the officers of the 301st Regiment said goodbye and left, and they had received news not long ago that most of the 301st Regiment had withdrawn to the trail, and in order to be able to rush to the front line of Jiangjiashan overnight to set up camp, they would immediately go on the road.

Watching the officers of the 301st Regiment stride away into the woods, the stone couldn't help frowning, his face was cloudy, and his usual calm expression disappeared without a trace at this moment, until this time, he knew that the situation he was facing in front of him was much more severe than they imagined, no wonder Ruichang gained and lost so quickly, it turned out that the Japanese Ninth Division had landed on all fronts, and the forward 6th Brigade after getting supplies was unstoppable in the rear, let alone a 301 regiment, I'm afraid that even their entire division will not play the slightest role in Ruichang.

And the brigade commander actually wants their 302nd regiment to block the devils here? Thinking of this, Shi couldn't help but have an urge to scold, the brigade commander was too much to do, could he really sacrifice a whole group of them for the sake of the little power in his hand? It is really astonishing that such an important military situation is concealed and not reported.

Although it is not yet known whether the Japanese army will move westward or move south to deal with the troops on the Nanxun line, Minshan and Ruichang are close at hand, which is too dangerous.

"Tell the brothers of the whole regiment, from now on, keep your hands on your guns, load your bullets, and be ready for battle at any time, go and tell Liu Taiping not to train for the time being, except for the original cavalry company, the others will immediately enter the front-line position, and then tell Liu Wenfeng that the sentry posts are more dense, and before dark, you can dig as many pits as you can." The stone looked up, and then gritted his teeth and roared, and his violent momentum couldn't help but make everyone around him stunned.

Wu Zihuai nodded solemnly, and then said: "Tuanzuo, I'll go to the third battalion commander, and the management of the war horse should also let Battalion Commander Liu pay attention to it." ”

Lin Xiufeng, who was attached to the group, seemed to be frightened by the aura of the coming war, he trembled for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Tuan...... Tuanza, I'll go find a ...... Battalion Commander"

All the officers immediately saluted and retreated, and hurried to their respective posts, only a few people such as Sledgehammer and Beard still stood there motionless. Seeing Lin Xiufeng leaving in a hurry, Gao Da Hammer couldn't help but snort coldly with disdain: "Tuanzao, such a person can also be attached to the group?" ”

The stone didn't seem to have the heart to talk about this, frowned and said, "Do you have a better candidate?" Or do you want to find another person like Camp Chief Hu? ”

These words made Gao Da Hammer immediately silence, as if he thought of something he had neglected, and the beard on the side asked puzzledly: "Regiment commander, is it too early to dig a pit in front of the position, in case there is a rare opportunity to need a cavalry company to attack, wouldn't it be in the way?" ”

"There's no chance." Shi listened to Huzi's words, but he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed and said bitterly: "Huzi, the devil won't give us another chance to raid, this time we were killed by the commander above, the devil is not a brigade, the devil is a division, a division, there are thousands of cavalry alone, what can we do with these hundreds of cavalry?" It's not enough to go out and stuff people's teeth, the brigade is ruthless, this is not a way for us to live. ”

The tall sledgehammer straightened the burly and tall body, showing a terrifying murderous aura at this time, he sneered, squinted and said: "Since he dares to push us to death again and again, then we simply don't do anything to fulfill their wishes, let's get out of the way of Minshan, let the devil kill De'an directly, and see who can laugh." ”

Xiao Shandong on the side was dumbfounded, his mouth could almost be stuffed into a whole egg, and the guard platoon leader Cheng Yong turned his back and trembled constantly, as if he had encountered something terrible. The beard stretched out his hand and tugged at the stubble, trying to hide the uneasiness in his heart, but his trembling hands betrayed his mood at the moment.

"Battalion Commander Gao, there are some things that you can't say nonsense, this will kill people." Beard forced himself to calm down and grinned, he wanted to smile to ease the current atmosphere, but for some reason, the muscles on his face were extremely stiff, making him more ugly than crying.

"Afraid? Only officials are allowed to set fires, and we ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps? They all dare to raise their knives, so why can't we fight back? Stretch your neck and wait for them to slaughter! These people who don't know anything about etiquette, righteousness and shame, and only care about their own selfish interests, should be killed, and only by killing them can the country have hope and the people have hope! Sledgehammer glared angrily, glaring at the beard and almost eating him.

Once the usually silent sledgehammer became angry, its momentum was really terrifying, and its words shattered everyone's bottom line and made them tremble.

The stone didn't have much reaction, and it seemed that he was not surprised by this, but he sighed lightly and said: "Sledgehammer, don't worry, it's not to this point yet, De'an is finished, we are finished, this strategy of burning jade and stones should not be used as a last resort, let's fight first, for the lives of these three thousand brothers, let's let go and fight." ”
