Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 220 When the nest is overturned, how can there be any intact eggs?

 After taking out the North China Front's air assault team, the 1st Marine Regiment and the 21st Marine Regiment have not been separated yet. Everyone acted together and moved towards the headquarters of the 43rd Army.

 The purpose of the former is to collect intelligence on the elite Japanese team in order to facilitate the next mission. The latter planned to go back and report the battle to his superiors.

During the march, Duan Peng suddenly came to Li Yunlong's side. With a solemn look on his face, he leaned into his captain's ear and whispered:

“Commander, it seems that the Japanese have penetrated the defense line of the Jinsui Army. In just a short time, I have seen two regiments withdrawing from Hengling Pass.”

“Do you think we need to change our route? If we continue like this, we may run into the main force of the Japanese army.”

As soon as these words came out, Li, Zhao, and Xing all looked bad. The northern defense line is very important for Zhongtiao Mountain. Once it is lost, it means that the Japanese have successfully divided Guo Preserved's two armies.

What's more, the 1st Marine Regiment is also in this circle. Maybe he got involved before the mission was completed.

 “Map!”

 After receiving the map handed over by Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong stood on a nearby high ground, picked up a telescope and looked at the surrounding terrain.

 Judging from his years of experience in combat, there is a high probability that the Japanese will use the brigade as a standard unit in their operations.

 Compared to the external defense line, the interior of Zhongtiao Mountain is even more empty.

The Japanese army will definitely launch an attack from the weak defense, and strive to open more holes inside and outside, paving the way for the subsequent annihilation plan.

Combining the observations and maps just now, Captain Li frowned and analyzed:

“The enemy’s next target will definitely be Yuanqu County and major ferries. If the battle reaches this point, the supply line of the preserved fruit defenders will definitely not be preserved.”

“We don’t have enough troops, so if we rush up to confront the Japanese infantry brigade head-on, we’re going to hit a rock with an egg. Everyone, let’s prepare for mobile combat. Let’s use the terrain to eliminate the enemy’s effective forces as much as possible!”

“The terrain around here is very suitable for an ambush. The Japanese army will definitely not be careless if their lives are endangered. You must pay attention when taking action and do not take it lightly.”

The well-organized arrangement made the decision-makers of the 1st Marine Regiment nod frequently.

Zhao Gang seemed to have thought of something important. He took a step forward and pulled out his flare gun and added:

"What we can figure out, the headquarters is naturally clear about. Even if the defense line in the northern part of Zhongtiao Mountain has been penetrated, the Kongyi Division will definitely not give up support."

“If conditions permit, we need to launch signal flares to guide fighter jets to attack the ground, and deal with these armored units as completely as possible!”

“Otherwise, if tanks roll into the plains, the 9th Army on the Eastern Front will definitely not be able to withstand it!”

They did not deliberately avoid the 21st Regiment in this combat meeting. After all, the two sides were allies who had fought side by side in a hail of bullets, not to mention that Li Yunlong admired the other's regiment commander very much.

Hearing that the Marine Corps was short of manpower, Wang Dahai took the initiative to put forward his own suggestions.

“Captain Li, please see if I can lead the 21st Regiment to join you for the time being. The front line is in chaos now, and it is estimated that our military position is likely to be in trouble.”

“Rather than being defeated, I want to rush forward and die on the battlefield, which is a worthy death. I don’t want to experience the feeling of being stabbed in the spine by the people across the country again.”

"The most important thing is that I, Wang Dahai, can help you gather defeated troops along the way! An army cannot be dispersed at a moment's notice. Tens of thousands of people must not be able to gather together a few hundred capable men."

Li Yunlong was very interested in Wang Dahai's proposal. After all, one more person means more power.

  But as a commander with a steady style, he did not make decisions without authorization. Instead, they called Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo together as soon as possible and voted on whether to accept the other party's proposal.

  Recruiting broken troops is a very common practice on the battlefield, but if you belong to different forces, you must proceed with caution.

After all, a certain miser valued his soldiers more than their lives. It was because of the problems of the New Army that he had great friction with the Eighth Route Army.

Before the Youth League Committee meeting ended, Wang Dahai shouted from a distance of dozens of meters:

“Captain Li, I was just talking nonsense because I didn’t think it through properly. Recruiting defeated troops is an internal matter of our Jinsui Army. It is to strengthen our strength to resist Japan and save the country and fight the Japanese. You Eighth Route Army must not get involved!”

“We are friendly forces that are united in foreign affairs and have a unified front. It is only natural that we cooperate on the battlefield.”

“As long as I, Wang Dahai, am still alive, I can promise you that I will never let anyone with good intentions make trouble about joint operations!”

Hearing Wang Dahai's careless statement, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Captain Li showed his big white teeth.

“Hey, I just said that this Lao Wang is interesting and really to my liking.”

"If he doesn't wear the clothes of Jin Sui, I thought it was Ding Wei's deputy head. People are really transparent, don't have to point it at all, what I do is clear." "So what Chu Yunfei is far worse than Lao Wang!"

  ·······

 After the combat meeting, the entire team was divided into two.

  The security mission is handled by Duan Peng and his reconnaissance company. They also need to find a suitable location for an ambush.

The task of collecting the broken troops was given to Wang Dahai, and Li Yunlong and his people were responsible for supporting the 21st Regiment. After all, soldiers who have just withdrawn from the battlefield are emotionally unstable, and unexpected things may happen if they are not careful.

 After waiting patiently for half an hour, a team of 100 people passed by nearby.

Wang Dahai stood in the middle of the road with his hands raised, indicating that he had no intention of attacking. After seeing his military rank, a battalion commander came out of the crowd and saluted and said:

“Hello, sir! I am Tian Ping, the battalion commander of the 27th Brigade of the 70th Division! Do you have any orders?”

　Seeing that things are developing quite smoothly, Lao Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He returned a military salute, and then asked with a serious face:

"Whose order did you receive to retreat? How is the battle situation on the front line? Have the positions of the 43rd Army and the 17th Army changed hands? Who is the highest commander now?"

The battalion commander in front of him was a little confused by the series of questions. After a short period of thinking, Tian Ping concluded that the other person was definitely not someone who fled from the front line.

He seemed to have made up his mind. He waved back covertly, indicating to his men to prepare to fire.

"Get out of the way quickly! Otherwise, don't blame the guys in my hands for not being smart! Even without orders from the commanders of the first and second theaters, we have to withdraw!"

“The entire front line has collapsed, how can there be any command! The law does not punish the people! Just get out of here!”

 Looking at the aggressive Jinsui Army, all the soldiers of the Marine Regiment looked unhappy. Everyone hates this kind of spineless soldier who only fights among himself.

As the person involved, Wang Dahai was even more unhappy. He never expected that these people were not broken soldiers at all, but a group of deserters who retreated from the position without orders!

"In other words, your battalion left its position without authorization without receiving any retreat order from the commander. As a garrison stationed at Hengling Pass, you are considered to have escaped from the battlefield!"

“A group of deserters who don’t know how to show their authority in front of me! You didn’t even know where you were when I joined the army!”

“You have not only disgraced the Jinsui Army, but also disgraced the Second War Zone! I really want to know! Who gave you such courage!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining soldiers of the fully armed 1st Marine Regiment and 21st Marine Regiment walked out of the bunker with guns in hand and silently pointed at the team of 100 people.

Facing the sudden and numerous muzzles of gunfire, Tian Ping was visibly frightened. He put down the weapon in his hand, and Ma Liuer knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing!

“The Japanese 41st Division is advancing too fast. The ground is full of their tanks and artillery, and the sky is full of enemy aircraft. Even though the brothers try their best, they really can’t withstand it!”

"The enemy didn't care about the loss of ammunition and kept attacking crazily. Our battalion went up for a face-to-face encounter and lost half of its men. If I hadn't ordered the retreat in time, everyone would have died on the battlefield. Not even a single life could be spared. , How can we hold our position!"

"We are not deserters, but our equipment and numbers are too different to defeat us. In that case, even the commander will not ask us to defend."

Hearing this series of farts from Tian Ping, Wang Dahai's face was full of ridicule, and his eyes pierced his soul.

"No matter how fierce this wave of enemies is, can it compare to the Battle of Xinkou? Back then, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army fought side by side in a desperate struggle. It was common for entire battalions and entire regiments to die! Did they run away?"

"In the Battle of Yuanping, Brigadier Jiang defended Yuanping City for seven days and seven nights, and the entire brigade died in the battle. There was also Wang Mingzhang of the Sichuan Army, who defended Teng County for three days and three nights in Taierzhuang, and the entire brigade was killed!"

"If all the troops collapsed like you did, the Republic of China wouldn't be able to hold on for three months! It would have been destroyed long ago!"

Facing Wang Dahai’s sharp questioning, many soldiers on the opposite side lowered their heads silently and lowered their weapons. The unwillingness in their hearts can be seen from the fists with bulging veins.

The achievements of our ancestors were counted down one by one, and all the deserters blushed with embarrassment.

Wang Dahai saw that what he said had an effect, so he stopped as soon as it was good. He just wanted to recruit these deserters, not to undermine the other party's confidence.

"Even if you want to retreat, you must first receive orders from your superiors and act in accordance with the rules! To escape without authorization like you do is to betray the 17th Army!"

"The ancestors said that if the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact! If every army is like you, they only want to protect themselves. When your home and country are occupied by the Japanese, where can you escape? To be a subjugated slave?”

“As long as you are a good man with a bit of blood, pick up the weapons on the ground. Follow our team and continue to deal with the devils, and fight back the land you sent away with your own hands, shot by shot!”

Keep writing, keep writing
