Li Yunlong was shocked by hosting the independent group at the beginning

Li Feng recognized at a glance that it was his sworn brothers Cao Lei and Teng Chao.

Li Feng's eyes immediately became moist. After a long absence, Li Feng saw his relatives, and Li Feng also quickened his pace and ran towards them.

Su Ping followed Li Feng silently, and Li Feng shouted loudly, "Second Feng, Ninth Brother."

The three of us ran together, stretched out our arms and hugged each other tightly. Tears flowed down like raindrops. Li Feng had too much to say, too much bitterness to complain, and too much grievance to confide in. .

But for a while, I don't know where to start. A man is a real man. Youdao is a man who has tears but never flicks his heart. Li Feng has been away from Shangqiu for too long, and now the long-lost wanderer finally returns home.

"Er Feng, Ninth Brother." Li Feng raised his head and looked at Cao Lei and Teng Chao with teary eyes.

They also looked at Li Feng with tears in their eyes, "You are back, third brother, you know, we are really worried about you, without you, Master Hou Yi will have no backbone, without you, we can't do anything. come."

Li Feng wiped away his tears and said, "Didn't I come back well? We still have to fight devils together. If this little Japanese bandit doesn't get out of China, we won't be separated again."

Cao Lei nodded and said, "That's right, second brother, you are back, Master Houyi, I have returned to Zhao completely."

The fighting in the north of the city basically subsided, and all the members of the Youwei Regiment were killed except for a few people who escaped accidentally.

The corpses of more than 1000 Japanese invaders were strewn all over the place, many broken guns were thrown in a mess, and Li Feng immediately ordered the seized food to be transported into the city.

To relieve the hungry refugees, the soldiers carefully cleaned the battlefield, and the food carried by the enemy soldiers was also collected, because the food in the city had long been eaten up, and the animals in the city had even been wiped out.

Shangqiu was surrounded again, but Li Feng led his troops into Shangqiu. Li Feng's troops were the first reinforcements to enter Shangqiu.

Chapter 261 Do My Best To Do It

Although they didn't bring much food and weapons, they were of great help to boost the resistance morale of the Shangqiu people.

After all, in the first battle of Shangqiu, Li Feng led the troops to fight bloody battles and wiped out a division of the enemy army. This time when Li Feng returned to Shangqiu, soldiers and ordinary people had great expectations for Li Feng.

When Li Feng led the troops into the city, Li Feng found that there were rows of soldiers neatly lined up on the side of the road at some point along the way. These officers and soldiers in tattered military uniforms saluted them in unison.

Don't look at their tattered military uniforms, but their military salute is so solemn.

The eyes they looked at him were so full of emotion and trust. At this moment, Shangqiu who was able to voluntarily fight into the siege was such a brave warrior.

Cao Lei had already ordered the messengers to tell his adoptive father Wang Ping about his return to Shangqiu. Wang Ping immediately led all the military chiefs in the Shangqiu theater to welcome Li Feng.

Li Feng saw Wang Ping running towards him from a long distance, and his tears flowed out all at once. Li Feng, who had suffered so much after being away from home for half a year, finally saw his relatives, how could he bear it.

Wang Ping was also the one who crawled out of the dead and entered and exited the Hall of Hell. He had never seen any scenes or experienced anything.

However, when he saw Li Feng, tears also flowed out, and he involuntarily quickened his pace and ran towards him, crying while running, "Long'er, you are back safe and sound."

Li Feng ran to him and shouted loudly: "Father, the unfilial son has returned home."

The brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders who followed Li Feng also cried. They went home, but how many good young people and good soldiers they walked along the way will never go home again, and they will never see their mothers again. Ah, the soldiers also cried, and the one who cried was sad.

Li Feng and Wang Ping hugged each other tightly, his father's strength was hardly like that of an old man who was nearly sixty years old.

Father kept patting Li Feng's back and said: "It's good to be back, as long as you come back, I will feel relieved. I haven't eaten well or slept well in the past half a year. I won't be able to let go of this heart for a day. .”

Li Feng's teardrops kept falling on his father's back, and he murmured: "The child is not filial, let the father worry about it, father don't worry, I will not leave when I come back this time."

"Okay, okay, don't leave, you leave me alone to fight against the little devil, do you know that I am exhausted physically and mentally!"

"Father, don't worry, with your help, there will be no problem. Father and son are of the same heart, and their benefits can cut through gold."

"Father."

"Long'er!" Their hands were tightly held together.

The efforts of the Volunteer Division in the west of the city to break through the encirclement failed due to the threat of being flanked by the First Tank Division. The enemy's huge armored force was an almost invincible opponent for the Chinese army fighting on flat ground.

Therefore, the Volunteer Division, the 88th Division and the Independent Tank Battalion that almost hit the city of Shangqiu could only return with hatred and return without success.

However, due to the bravery of the volunteer division and the better equipment of the troops, the independent tank battalion and the 88th division that cooperated with the battle were stronger, and the enemy could only watch them leave.

Since Li Feng's adoptive father, Wang Ping, acted as the commander of the Shangqiu theater on his behalf during Li Feng's disappearance, now that Li Feng is back, his adoptive father will naturally relinquish his duties to him and let him command the troops again.

Wang Hongxian and Feng Yuankai gave Li Feng a detailed introduction to the current situation of the troops. The fierce battle for half a year caused heavy losses to the troops in the Shangqiu theater.

During this period, Li Feng's Hou Yi Division killed 760 soldiers and wounded 420, and nearly [-]% of the troops were lost. Fortunately, the armored troops, airborne troops, and special forces suffered minor losses, and the armored infantry suffered the heaviest losses.

Fortunately, the Shangqiu militia organized Shangqiu young adults to supplement the troops. At present, the troops have recovered to the strength of 6000 people, with 49 tanks and 31 artillery pieces of various types.

The 33rd Division killed 770 and 560 people and injured 4000 and [-] people. After supplementation, it currently has a strength of [-] people.

The 35th Division killed 960 people and injured 210 people. After supplementation, there are currently about 700 people.

The strength of the Shangqiu garrison regiment is relatively intact, because they are responsible for guarding Shangqiu government agencies and military warehouses, but lost some soldiers in the shelling, and there are currently about 500 troops.

The First Brigade of Public Security and the Second Brigade of Public Security also lost a lot of strength, because most of the security personnel are young and middle-aged, and if the front-line troops are disabled, they will be supplemented to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Since the fierce battle, there are still 750 soldiers in the first public security brigade, and 100 soldiers in the second public security brigade. Li Feng felt that his head was a lot bigger when he saw this report.

One armored division, two infantry divisions, two public security brigades, and one security regiment belonged to the Shangqiu war zone, and the total strength is only about 8000 people. Divisions contend.

But having said that, before Li Feng came back, his adoptive father Wang Ping and other commanders had commanded these troops to contend with the superior forces of the enemy for half a year, so he had no reason to complain about this.

Another good news is that the army brought back by Li Feng has passed the test of blood and fire. The quality of the soldiers is much better than that of the Shangqiu militia. Out of the 4000 people, they were eliminated by the war to the current 400 people.

As for how to use these troops, Li Feng plans to dismantle them and replenish them to the divisions, but he is very worried about what the original commander of the troops thinks.

However, the Eighth Division has a taint, and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs will definitely not retain the designation of the Eighth Division. For public and private reasons, Li Feng really cannot tell Huang Wenshi the decision to split up the New Eighth Brigade to supplement other units.

Li Feng stayed in the room until it was bright, but he didn't think of how to speak to Huang Wenshi, and Li Feng didn't think about eating the dinner that Su Ping brought him.

When Su Ping came to deliver breakfast to Li Feng, she told Li Feng that Brigadier Huang wanted to see him, and he immediately asked her to invite Huang Wenshi in.

Huang Wenshi looked at Li Feng with complicated eyes after entering the room, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Li Feng said to Huang Wenshi with a pleasant face: "Brigade Commander Huang, don't be embarrassed, you and I are also brothers who lived and died together in the same trench. If there is anything we can't say, no matter what it is, brother will try our best to do it."

Huang Wenshi looked into Li Feng's eyes and said: "Commander, no, Commander Li, the Eighth Division once made an unforgivable mistake and lost its life to the enemy. We are now returning to the battle order of the national army. Originally, we did not expect to keep everyone's troops. It doesn’t even matter if we are escorted to the Military Law Office for trial.”

Chapter 262 Don't Be Afraid

"But before his death, Commander Sun told me to lead the Eighth Division well, keep the Eighth Division, and not let the Eighth Division disappear in my hands. You must know that the Eighth Division is the painstaking effort of Commander Sun. He brought it up with one hand. His will."

Speaking of Sun Dianwen's command, Li Feng couldn't help crying.

Li Feng recalled the tragic scene at the Xiaolang Canal. Commander Sun led the brothers of the Eighth Division to attack the enemy's fierce firepower more than a dozen times, and finally broke through the enemy's position at the cost of more than half of the casualties.

When Sun Dafeng was hit by enemy bullets and was dying, when Huang Wenshi held Sun Dafeng's blood-stained hands tightly, Sun Dafeng's instructions.

Li Feng secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he will fight with the Military and Political Department to retain the designation of the New Eighth Brigade, and retain the military positions that these comrades-in-arms who have lived and died with him should have.
