"What's so strange. ”

Tian Guozhong said with a smile: "I guess! At the beginning, the little devils were too arrogant, thinking that with their troops, and we were local troops, these little devils didn't take us seriously at all. However, after this battle, they saw how powerful we were, so they hurriedly mobilized planes from the rear to support, but the little devils did not expect that we would suddenly retreat while fighting, so these planes would not be useful......"

"However, the little devil was unwilling to be beaten by us, so he let those planes that didn't have time to come in handy simply bombed our Qinglong Mountain. Otherwise, why did it take a few hours for the little devil's plane to come and bomb?"

Zhang Qingshan thought about it and felt that only this explanation would work, nodded and sighed, but did not speak. Because Zhang Qingshan wanted to say: It's a pity that we don't have a plane, otherwise, how could we allow the little devil to be so rampant...... However, if there is no, there is nothing, and this is a fact that cannot be changed in a short period of time, and it is also the most direct embodiment of 'if you fall behind, you will be beaten.'

Unexpectedly, Hu Yingze, who had not spoken much, sighed: "It would be nice if we also had a plane." ”

Tian Guozhong patted Hu Yingze on the shoulder and comforted: "Old Hu, don't be so pessimistic, I dare to conclude that sooner or later, our Eighth Route Army will also have an airplane, and it is a much better plane than a little devil's plane." ”

Zhang Qingshan was not in a good mood, but when he saw Tian Guozhong talking and glancing at him, he came back to his senses: Lao Hu was obviously stimulated, so today's attitude was a bit abnormal, and the biggest hurdle was the plane.

So, Zhang Qingshan hurried up to Tian Guozhong's topic and comforted Hu Yingze: "Yes! Just like when we had a revolution, not to mention guns at the beginning, even big knives and spears could not be used by everyone, but you see, how long has it been, we have not only achieved one gun per person, but also cannons." So, old Hu, don't be so pessimistic, look ahead. ”

Hu Yingze turned around, looked at the two of them, and said with a wry smile: "You two don't think I'm scared by the little devil's plane, right?"

Zhang Qingshan and Tian Guozhong didn't even glance at each other, and shook their heads in unison.

"Actually, I wasn't scared by the little devil's plane, but you two are right, I envy the little devil's plane......" Hu Yingze took out a cigarette, lit it one by one, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I have been thinking about it just now: with our vast land and outstanding people...... And the little devil is just a slave of the three islands, and he is far inferior to us in terms of land and population, but why are the little devils so much stronger than us? Have you ever thought about this question?"

Zhang Qingshan shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said: "To be honest, I haven't thought about this problem at all, and I don't bother to think about it, because I think that this problem is what the leaders above should think about, and we, as soldiers, only need to obey the orders of the organization and complete the orders of the organization...... Especially now, I don't think about anything else, I just think about how to kill the little devil. ”

"Lao Zhang, this is a pragmatist, Lao Hu, you think about the long term, it's not bad. Tian Guozhong said: "However, Lao Hu, Lao Zhang has a saying that is right, now, let's consider everything else is empty talk, everything must be based on the premise of killing the little devil, otherwise, everything is in vain." Besides, these are the war years, and it's a bit premature to investigate or think about the big question you're talking about. ”

Hu Yingze nodded, and said with a straight face: "Also, what are we soldiers thinking about so much, or how to eliminate the little devils is the most important thing." Only by driving out the little devils can we reflect on and realize the dream of saving the country. ”

"Okay, the three of us don't have to sigh here, let's discuss, next, in the face of the attack of more than 10,000 little devils, what should we do?"

Zhang Qingshan glanced at Tian Guozhong, who was speaking, and said, "Since everything is now according to the plan we made before, then there is no need for us to change the plan, I think, we still follow the previous plan and do it with the little devil." ”

"Plans can't keep up with the changes, and we have to do some more defenses to deal with possible surprises. Tian Guozhong said: "Just like now, in our plan, there is no point that the little devil sent a plane to bomb our Qinglong Mountain, so what to do next, I think, we still have to make necessary defenses and adjustments." ”

"Lao Tian is right, I agree. ”

Zhang Qingshan pursed his lips and said, "You both agree, I naturally don't have any opinions, but in the general direction, we must go as planned." ”

"It's natural. ”

Zhang Qingshan turned around and shouted, "Someone!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the assault company and the martial arts team that remained in the rear of Baoyuan County, and ask them to change the time of reporting the movements of the main force of the little devil once an hour to once every half an hour. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Qingshan turned to Hu Yingze and explained: "When I came back, considering the importance of monitoring the main force of the little devils and the intelligence collection in the surrounding areas, in order to obtain this information as soon as possible and reduce the time for transmitting information, I deliberately left a radio station for the assault company. ”

Don't underestimate this explanation, the division of many things often starts with very small things. Although Zhang Qingshan has the treatment of the regiment commander, he is only the instructor of the assault company after all, so there are some things that must be explained to Hu Yingze, so that Hu Yingze will not feel uncomfortable...... Although Hu Yingze, an old partner, will never mind this, but as the old saying goes, 'face is given by others, but it is lost by yourself', and the proper courtesy and relationship maintenance must be maintained.

"Report! ”

Zhang Qingshan took the telegram and looked at it, handed it to Hu Yingze, and said, "It seems that the division headquarters is still very confident in our next battle. ”

The gist of the telegram was: verbally praise the victory of the first stage, and then remind everyone that when conducting the second phase of the campaign, they must try to be as prepared as possible, so as to avoid major changes, especially to remind everyone that they must pay attention to the timely and accurate movement of the little devils.

"Lao Zhang, you don't smear gold on your face, the division is obviously reminding us to be fully prepared, how did it come to your mouth, it became as if the division was praising you. ”

"Am I wrong? The division headquarters does not approve of our second phase of operations?"

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze were about to quarrel again, they saw Zhou Baoyu running over and reporting: The main force is back.

When Zhang Qingshan heard this, he immediately sighed: "This battle is hard!"

Tian Guozhong nodded.

Hu Yingze said: "Okay, no matter what, we have to go and greet them in person, and at the same time, we must be prepared to treat the wounded and calm the emotions of our comrades." ”

Immediately, the three of them joined forces to meet the three regiments and their own battalion.

Because Qinglong Mountain is a small place, it cannot accommodate four regiments, let alone give the wounded enough space to treat, so the assault regiment, as the landlord, naturally has to be in Qinglong Mountain, while the other three regiments are only stationed in the mountains and wilderness around Qinglong Mountain. Many people could not go to Qinglong Mountain, and each regiment had to send representatives to Qinglong Mountain, one to report, and the other to hold a meeting.

There are two ways up the mountain, the small road on Pigeon Hill and the big road due south.

Zhang Qingshan and the others were also divided into two groups and went to two roads to greet everyone: Zhang Qingshan took some people to the road to the south to greet the new regiment and the first battalion of the assault regiment. Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong took some people to the road to the northeast to meet the main regiment and the independent regiment. Then, everyone went to Qinglong Mountain to meet together.

Zhang Qingshan walked down the stairs and looked at the team coming from afar, and he was really a little anxious and apprehensive: although on the way here, everyone had already sent the battle report of this battle to Zhang Qingshan by telegram, and Zhang Qingshan also reported the preliminary results to the division headquarters by telegram, but it was one thing to report and another thing to see with one's own eyes, or rather, it was another feeling, after all, the telegram was full of cold numbers, but what they saw with their own eyes were living people.

Having come to the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Qingshan was preparing to continue walking, greeting him on the way to express his solemnity and gratitude.

However, after just two steps, Zhang Qingshan suddenly turned back, and quickly ran up the stairs, ran halfway up the mountain in one breath, looked carefully, probably felt that he couldn't look carefully, and took the telescope from Sun Bingcheng again, and looked at the team that was getting closer and closer.

Yesterday, when he sent the new regiment and the first battalion of the assault regiment to set off from here, Zhang Qingshan remembered very clearly that a team of more than 2,500 people gathered together like a coiling dragon, and then, like a snake, stretched all the way to the bend at the foot of the mountain. However, now, the warriors are back, but there is no need to count, you can clearly judge with the naked eye that the team is a big cut less.

Doesn't it mean that the new regiment and the first battalion of the assault regiment combined have one-third ......of the total number of casualties?

Zhang Qingshan took the binoculars, watched quietly, and silently calculated, as if he didn't even hear the cheerful sound of the greeting personnel and the team at the bottom of the mountain, just standing there motionless like a rock, but his whole body exuded a coldness, a chilling coldness.

"Commander! Commander......"

Sun Bingcheng's voice brought Zhang Qingshan's feelings back to reality.

"Uh-huh, what's the matter?"

"Commander, they've arrived, do you see if it'......"

"Oh!" Zhang Qingshan looked at the celebratory scene at the foot of the mountain, swallowed his saliva, coughed twice, and then, after rubbing his face, trying to make himself have a little smile on his face, he whispered Sun Bingcheng: "Do you see a smile on my face?"

"Well, a little ......" Sun Bingcheng paused and added, "It's just that your smile looks more ugly than crying." ”

"Get out, why don't you learn from Baoyu, honest as wood. ”

"I ......"

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Let's go, and welcome the warriors back!"

......
