The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Although the two commanders showed unprecedented firmness in front of their brothers, when they returned to the half-collapsed command post, their expressions became serious again.

They couldn't send the wounded down now, and they didn't have medicine to treat them. They could only lie there and wait for the wound to become infected and fester and die. This made Yang Ling and the others very worried.

They have the courage to guard here, but when they set off from De'an, they didn't carry much dry food. Now that the food is running out, the brothers can only pick up the dead bodies and eat what they have.

Almost all the light and heavy machine guns were blown up, the grenades were almost thrown, and all the weapons were replaced with those of the little devils. The lack of ammunition put them in a critical situation, and the conditions were unprecedentedly difficult.

"Is the phone connected?"

Zhang Handuo stood up after being silent for a long time. He knew that these matters must be resolved tonight, otherwise they would not be able to hold their positions tomorrow.

The communication platoon leader shook his head: "The phone line was blown up, and the two groups of brothers sent out have not returned yet."

"Send someone again to find the place where the explosion was broken, and the phone must be connected."

Zhang Handuo and the others have now lost contact with the brigade headquarters. Although there are still gunshots heard on the surrounding hills when it is getting dark, the friendly troops are still standing firm.

But because the telephone line was blown up, he lost contact with the surrounding friendly forces and brigade headquarters, and he didn't know the specific situation around him. This made Zhang Handuo, who was used to obeying the command of his superiors, very uncomfortable.

"report!"

Just as Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling were discussing tomorrow's defense deployment with the help of the dim lantern, Hu Zi got out of the command post, stood up and raised his hand to salute.

"Regimental seat, regimental deputy, the brigade has sent someone."

After hearing Huzi's report, Zhang Handuo relaxed his frowning brows, and hurriedly raised his head and asked joyfully, "Where is he?"

Their regiment fought hard for a day in the Golden Dragon Terrier, and now they have lost contact with the brigade headquarters, which made Zhang Handuo extremely uncomfortable.

Now suddenly hearing someone from the brigade headquarter, it's like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, that kind of excitement is incomprehensible to others.

"They're just outside." Hu Zi pointed behind him.

Zhang Handuo heard that the people from the brigade headquarters had arrived outside the command post, so he solemnly tidied up his dirty military uniform with many holes, and said to Huzi in a full spirit: "Please come in quickly."

"Yes!" Huzi turned and left, and soon two lieutenant officers, one tall and one short, walked into their temporary regiment command post under Huzi's guidance.

These two liaison officers took advantage of the cover of night to climb to the position on the mountain. During the day, they would definitely be beaten into a sieve by the little devil, so they also took a big risk.

The two sides saluted each other and didn't care about greetings, so Zhang Handuo couldn't wait to ask: "You two brothers have worked hard, and you came here this time, but you brought a new order from the seat?"

The tall second lieutenant nodded and said: "Regimental Commander Zhang, Deputy Commander Yang, the brigade asked us to come here to tell you that the rest of our 74th Army has all approached, no matter how many casualties there are, we must persist until the main force arrives. "

Hearing that the entire army was approaching, Zhang Handuo's face flashed a look of joy, now relying on them as an infantry brigade, if the entire army approached, the situation on the battlefield would be very different.

Zhang Handuo, who was a little depressed at first, seemed to have been injected with new strength, and his face was radiant again: "Please tell the traveler, two brothers, that there are people in the position, unless we fight all 0 and one group, otherwise the little devil will never think about it." Take a step forward!"

The two liaison officers looked at each other and said with a smile: "Since there are these words from Captain Zhang, then we can go back to the brigade with peace of mind."

Zhang Handuo added: "Brothers, although we have the determination to persevere, we now have more than 300 wounded in urgent need of medical treatment, ammunition, soldiers, and food. I hope you can pass it on to the brigade, and can you find a way to send us some."

"Don't worry, head Zhang, we will truthfully convey your difficulties to the traveler."

"Thank you two brothers. After the battle, I will treat you to a drink." Zhang Handuo said gratefully.

"Head Zhang, you are being polite. You are here to kill the enemy with blood. We are just conveying a word, no thanks."

Although the two liaison officers came from the brigade headquarters, they also admired their bloody brothers, so they were always polite.

After delivering the order and learning about the difficulties faced by Yang Ling and his group, the two liaison officers did not stay too long, and hurried back to report under the cover of night.

"Tell the brothers, hold on, our reinforcements are here!"

Zhang Handuo sent the two liaison officers away, and returned to the command post. The decadence and exhaustion on his face disappeared, and he became excited, wanting to tell his brothers the good news.

What the brothers were most afraid of was fighting a hopeless battle, so when they heard that the entire army had approached, all the surviving brothers showed joy. Although they were still exhausted and faced with many difficulties, their morale was lifted again .

Yang Ling knew that although the 74th Army had come close, the predicament they were facing was still severe. If they couldn't solve the problem of ammunition and sick and wounded, then sticking to it would become empty talk.

The action of the brigade headquarters was very fast. Just three hours after the liaison officer left, more than 100 brothers who came over secretly sneaked through the devil's defense line and climbed up the mountain carrying a batch of ammunition and weapons.

The devil's sentry also found this group of brothers who had crossed the line of defense, and fired randomly in the dark. However, in this overgrown mountain, it was pitch black, worried about being ambushed, and quickly retreated to the camp.

"Report, Niu Yougen has been ordered to reinforce, please give instructions to Zhang Tuanzuo!"

Wearing a gray military uniform, the big and bony company commander led more than 100 soldiers also dressed in tatters to salute the regiment leader Zhang Handuo.

Zhang Handuo heard the strong Sichuan accent of the leading officer, and asked them curiously how the Sichuan army got reinforcements here.

The big man Niu Yougen said with some shame: "We belong to the 15th Division of the Sichuan Army. During the day, we were defeated by the devils. Commander Zhou gathered us..."

Hearing that they were an army that had been overwhelmed by the devils, Zhang Handuo had doubts on his face. Compared with his brothers, if the position was handed over to them, he still felt a little worried.

But Niu Yougen and the others were also worried. After all, they were troops of the Sichuan army and belonged to the provincial army. Now that they had been dispersed, they sent temporary reinforcements to this position, fearing that they would be used as cannon fodder.

"Zhang Tuanzuo, don't you know where our position is?" Seeing Zhang Handuo thinking silently, Niu Yougen cautiously probed.

Zhang Handuo was also in a dilemma when he looked at these Sichuan Army brothers who were in ragged clothes and looking around.

According to Zhang Handuo's idea, it is to let these Sichuan army brothers replace the front-line troops that have been fighting fiercely all day, and let them retreat to the back to rest, but are these Sichuan army brothers really willing to guard the front line?

Yang Ling knew that this was a difficult time, and what everyone needed most was unity. If the distribution was not good, there would definitely be trouble.

"Company Commander Niu, since you're here, you're a brother in the trenches. Let's fight side by side! Let's kill devils together." Yang Ling also spoke.

Although Zhang Handuo didn't know Yang Ling's intentions, since Yang Ling opened his mouth, he simply organized these Sichuan Army brothers into the companies that had suffered a lot in order to strengthen their strength.

Niu Dagen was relieved to see that although he and others were broken up and incorporated into various companies with large losses, instead of going to the front line alone as cannon fodder.

"Don't worry, Zhang Tuanzuo. Although we were overwhelmed by the devils during the day, I guarantee that we will not take half a step back this time! Whoever dares to back down does not need Zhang Tuanzuo to do it. I will kill him personally! I will definitely not give it to you The 74th Army is holding back!"

Niu Yougen also slapped his chest loudly, and said viciously.

Brothers from the Sichuan army were quickly assigned to supplement the company that had lost a lot to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops, while Yang Ling left Niu Dagen alone.

"Deputy Head Yang, I don't know what you want from me?" Niu Dagen and Yang Ling had never met before, and they felt uneasy when they were left behind.

Chapter 473 Planning

Yang Ling also felt the embarrassment of Captain Niu Dagen. He pressed his hands down and said softly, "Let's sit down and talk."

The two sat down along the empty ammunition box. Yang Ling took out the cigarettes that his brothers had picked up from the devil from his arms, took out one and said, "Commander Niu, take one?"

Niu Dagen shook his head again and again: "Deputy Head Yang, I don't know how to smoke."

"I didn't know how to smoke back then." Yang Ling smiled, and went to the dim lantern, lifted the lampshade, and lit the cigarette.
