Looking at the scorching stone, Guo Yan couldn't help but hesitate, the other party's question was too direct, making it a little difficult for him to answer, but at the moment, the devil was six or seven miles away, and he could kill them at any time, time was precious, and he didn't dare to waste too much, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Commander Shi, before coming, there are no special requirements for the brigade, but abiding by military discipline is naturally the first, and it is inevitable to complete the established orders of the peak." ”

Listening to Guo Yan's almost perfunctory answer, Shi Shi did not get angry, but nodded seriously, as if he understood Guo Yan's difficulties. Although the staff officer of the war supervision is not much higher than those staff officers of the regiment headquarters because of his identity and qualifications, he is from the brigade headquarters, and from this point of view, his words and deeds represent the meaning and majesty of the brigade seat, which also produces a strange situation, on the one hand, the staff officer of the supervision of the war represents the officer, exercising the power of monitoring and supervision, which can be described as majestic, and everyone must give them enough respect, on the other hand, because of their status and status, but also because of the lack of qualifications, they cannot directly command the army. This creates a situation of mutual supervision and restraint between them and their subordinate commanders.

When you meet a good-tempered supervisor, it's good to consult with each other and respect each other, but when you meet some regimental and battalion commanders with a rough style, I'm afraid you will just leave them aside. Unless, like when he was in Luodian, Zhang Lingfu supervised the 302nd Regiment as a colonel and senior staff member, and with his status and the trust of the division, he was enough to command the 302nd Regiment on behalf of Cheng Zhi, and this situation was also incomparable to others.

Shi once had a "case" of tying up and beating Staff Officer Wei, which made Guo Yan not dare to have the slightest carelessness and arrogance, only if there was no problem in the general direction, he didn't dare to say anything, otherwise no one would want to suffer for no reason.

"Staff Officer Guo, that is to say, as long as I hold Lion Rock, this battle will be okay no matter how I fight?" Shi didn't think too much about it, and after Guo Yan finished speaking, he said bluntly.

Guo Yan nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, the regimental seat, the lion rock must not be lost, although I don't know the overall layout of the upper peak, but since it is the order directly issued by the division seat for us to guard here, it is definitely related to the overall situation, once it appears, the consequences are really unbearable, and when the time comes, not only will it be difficult for the 302 regiment departments to explain, but I am afraid that the brigade headquarters will also bear great pressure." ”

Shi shook his head lightly and said: "Staff Officer Guo rest assured, I'm not a person who doesn't know the severity, since there are really devils in front of me, it means that the next thing is a vicious battle, I won't joke with the lives of the brothers, Staff Officer Guo is familiar with the terrain here, how to set up defenses, how to set up a defensive line, and I bother Staff Officer Guo a lot." ”

Guo Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This is nature, this is nature, Tuanzao, now the first battalion and the second battalion are deployed on the left and right flanks, let me go over first to see if there is anything that can help." ”

Looking at the stone and nodding without any opinion, Guo Yandang even left here, and everyone pulled their legs down this mountain.

Looking at the back of Guo Yan rushing away, Hu Zi sneered: "This Guo staff officer is running fast, as if he is going to be cramped and skinned if he stays here for a while." ”

Wu Zihuai, chief of staff of the 302nd regiment, immediately chuckled and said: "Brother Huzi, don't be embarrassed for Staff Officer Guo, as colleagues, they all have each other's difficulties, if the regiment proposes any way to take the initiative, do you say it is better for him to agree or not?" If something goes wrong, he, the staff officer of the war, will first pour the frieze, so it is better to go farther, out of sight and out of mind, and there will be an explanation in the future. ”

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle, and they seemed to quite understand the meaning of the chief of staff's mouth.

However, the stone had no expression, and looked quite old and asked Lin Xiufeng: "Lin Tuanfu, what do you think of the current situation?" I don't know what to learn? ”

When Shi was still the commander of the first battalion, Lin Xiufeng was the chief of staff of the 302 regiment, although the military rank was the same, but in terms of identity and status, Lin Xiufeng was still a cut above the stone, but fate made people, Ji Hongru, the head of the regiment, was martyred, and Shi fought two beautiful battles in Dangshan, which made him sit in the position of the regiment commander in one fell swoop. However, the incident of Minshan last time had already given Lin Xiufeng a big blow, making him very depressed for a while, and because of this, the stone was closer to this regiment, and his words were also very sincere, after all, Lin Xiufeng had assisted Commander Ji for so long, and his combat was also quite level.

Lin Xiufeng looked at the stone, the head of the regiment in front of him, who was several years younger than him, had a resolute expression on his dark face, revealing an old age that did not match it, and his shining eyes revealed a strong self-confidence, which formed a sharp contrast with his depression, making him dare not look directly.

It was the confidence that came out of the bloody battles, and this was the magnanimity of the victories, which was far beyond Lin Xiufeng's ability, which made him sigh secretly, restrain some emotions that he shouldn't have, and said slowly: "Tuanza, the order came suddenly, and things are a little strange, the current situation is unclear, but it is not good to make any judgment!" ”

When Shi heard this, he immediately asked: "If Lin Tuan has any ideas, you might as well say it directly, this is all his own brothers, and he absolutely believes it, so don't have any scruples." ”

Lin Xiufeng thought for a moment and nodded slowly and said, "Tuanza, is there any truth in what Staff Officer Guo said?" Is it really possible that we are cannon fodder bait sent by the Peak? ”

"What do you say about this? Who will do this and push us into the fire pit? The wrinkles on Wu Zihuai's face deepened, and he asked cautiously.

Lin Xiufeng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, I'm just speculating out of thin air, and I don't know if it's right or not." After that, he continued: "According to what Staff Officer Guo said, we withdrew to Minshan to lure the devils in, so as to form an encirclement and inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but the devils are not stupid, and directly bypassed the difficult Minshan and launched an attack from the front line of Ruiwu Road, and the problem is here. ”

Looking at the people around him all paying serious attention to him, Lin Xiufeng took a deep breath and continued: "Tuanzao, Chief of Staff, our First Army of the Ninth Theater is guarding the Nanxun Line, and the Second Corps is guarding Ruiwu Road. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope with such a left-right attack. ”

"So even if the Japanese invaders want to attack, the route they choose should be close to Minshan, with the entire Minshan Mountain as the depth, along Jiuyuan, Zhangshu and other places to kill De'an, not only relying on the mountain to block the counterattack of the Second Corps, but also killing De'an along the Ruiwu line, why does it appear in the Wanjialing area now?" Lin Xiufeng asked solemnly.

"Could it be that the front line of Ruiwu Road has been lost?" Wu Zihuai said with a look of surprise on his face.

Lin Xiufeng nodded with a wry smile and said: "This is also a kind of speculation on my part, Ruiwu Road was lost, the Second Army was defeated, the devil opened the passage north of Wuning, and then went directly east along Ruiwu Road, all the way to Wanzhiling, turned to the north to attack De'an, to the south to threaten Yongxiu, Nanxun Road is terrible to advance and retreat, and it can't be defended for a long time." And we, the cannon fodder, are used to delay time and buy time for the retreat of the army on the Wushimen front. ”

Hu Zi seemed to be a little difficult to accept Lin Xiufeng's idea, after all, the battle on the Nanxun Line had lasted for several months, and the situation that the Japanese army was blocked at Jinguan Bridge and could not move had just changed, and I heard that although the second-line position in the Wushimen Formation was not as strong as Jinguan Bridge, because it was not far from De'an, it was convenient to supply, and it should be more tenacious in terms of solidity.

In this regard, Hu Zi immediately asked strangely: "Tuanfu, is there any other possibility?" We haven't received any bad news from Ruiwu Road! ”

"There is another possibility, that is, the devil is lost." Lin Xiufeng said with a serious face, and stopped talking.

And everyone around them also closed their mouths one by one, indeed, this reason is much easier to understand than the previous one, however, is this possible? Do devils get lost?

Life is not familiar, getting lost is not impossible, but the devil can fight from the north to the south, from the east to the west, almost invincible, invincible, the probability of such an army to make this kind of mistake is too small, and they also have air and aircraft reconnaissance, it really minimizes the probability of making this mistake, rather than believing that the devil will get lost, it is better to believe that Ruiwu Road has been opened up by the devil is more practical.

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but focus on the stone, waiting for the order of their regiment leader.

Shi looked at the crowd, looked at their tense faces one by one, and couldn't help waving his hand and said: "Don't care about these messy things, whether the devil is lost, or he was sent by Shangfeng to be cannon fodder, Lion Rock, we have to hold it no matter what, since this battle can't be avoided, then fight with the devil." Staff Officer Guo is right, if we cannon fodder can use one life in exchange for more brothers in the back to retreat, it will be worth it. ”

"Company Commander Zhang, you have to work hard again to figure out the situation in Biandan Mountain, and figure out the direction in which the devil may attack in the shortest possible time. Huzi, go and inform Liu Cannon, gather the brothers of the original cavalry company to prepare for battle, and the two companies that do not know how to ride and fight will immediately come here to garrison. After thinking about it clearly, Shi immediately made a quick arrangement without the slightest hesitation.
