Chapter 3 Rout

Zhang Chi was a little out of breath after following the defeated soldiers to flee to Tonggu.

It was more than ten miles away. Zhang Chi couldn't run away if she had done so, but now she was running for life. When she thought of the Japanese being behind, when she thought of them holding guns... Zhang Chi had no idea where she got the strength to run to her destination.

I don’t know if it was running too fast or if the tragic situation of comrades lying in a pool of blood always appeared in my mind. As soon as I ran into the defense circle of the Tonggu Gu defenders, Zhang Chi squatted on the ground and vomited.

After a while, he felt a little more comfortable. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a fully armed middle-aged officer walking up under the protection of several guards, shouting at them from a distance: "What's going on? Which unit are you from?"

"Report to the division seat!" Chen Qiming hurriedly met and stood up and said, "We are from the 1st Engineer Regiment!"

The teacher... Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that this young officer was Dai Anlan, the commander of the 200th Division.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Dai Anlan a few more times, but saw that Dai Anlan was quite a bit scholarly. If Zhang Chi hadn't heard of him in modern times, he wouldn't dare to associate him with a generation of famous generals who repeatedly defeated the Japanese army.

"Engineering Regiment?" Dai Anlan couldn't help but be shocked and anxious when he heard this: "Aren't you stationed at the airport? Who told you to come back?!"

"Reporter's seat..." Chen Qiming lowered his head in shame: "We encountered the Japanese when we destroyed the railway near Highland No. 5..."

"You met the Japanese?" Dai Anlan couldn't help but gasped: "Where is the airport?"

"This..." Chen Qiming was speechless when asked. He was just rushing, and he had no idea about the current situation at the airport.

"Report to the division seat!" At this time, another officer ran up and stood up and said, "Trider seat, airport...the airport is also lost!"

"What? You..." Dai Anlan was so angry that he heard this. He glared and cursed with a gloomy face: "All my 200th Division are fearless, but unexpectedly, you cowards who are greedy and afraid of death have emerged. They lost the airport in just one meeting! You... how do you face those brothers who are still on the front line who fight with the Japanese for their lives?!"

Dai Anlan became more and more angry the more he thought about it. Although he knew that the engineering regiment could not compare with the Japanese devils in terms of equipment and quality, he had to be able to block it at least, so he could have the opportunity to send reinforcements!

But now that things have come to this point, it’s useless to think about these things. Dai Anlan also knows that the most important thing at the moment is to see if there are any remedies.

Thinking of this, Dai Anlan turned around and walked towards the division headquarters. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something. When he turned around, he ordered unhappily: "Where is Li Shuzheng? Ask him to come to the division headquarters to see me immediately!"

"yes!"

The orders under the division were not too sluggish, and a few people rushed to find the regiment commander.

After a while, Chen Qiming and other large groups of disheveled deserters were left in a daze. After a while, Chen Qiming took off his hat, sat on the ground and sighed, spitting out two words: "Courage!"

"Staff Officer Liang!" The fellow villager grabbed an officer who was heading towards the division headquarters and said, "Staff Officer Liang, for the sake of his fellow villager, can he say a few good words in front of the division seat..."

"Brother!" Staff Officer Liang interrupted his fellow villagers and said, "Do you know how important the airport is to us? Originally, this airport could be used as a British man, an American man to provide us with military supplies, and if necessary, it could also use this airport to provide us with air reinforcements. Now, the airport is lost... Not only are these reinforcements and supplies gone, but they have become a place to provide support and supplies to Japan. What's more serious is that our retreat was also cut off by Japan... I said, brother, let alone a fellow villager, even the king of heaven can't do anything about this!"

As he said that, Staff Liang shook his head and sighed and left.

After hearing the words of Staff Liang, the soldiers couldn't help looking at each other. Before, they simply regarded the airport stationed as a mission and did not think deeper... This is actually not their fault. The places where the Engineers' Corps are stationed have never been important positions. How could they think that the airport stationed this time has such an important position?

Of course, Dai Anlan would hand over such an important airport to the engineering regiment to guard it, because he did not expect the Japanese devils to bypass the front line of defense to rush to the rear, and because the front battlefield was too fierce. You should know that the 200th Division faced a division of the Japanese army with the strength of one division, that is, with more than 9,000 Japanese troops, Dai Anlan could not draw out any extra troops to defend the airport. Furthermore, Dai Anlan always thought that even if there was an enemy situation at the airport, the engineering regiment would block it, and then draw out troops to reinforce it. Who would have thought that the engineering regiment would collapse at one touch?

Zhang Chi thought about it and thought it was true. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to fight a battle with the Japanese army in Tonggu, that is, he used the 200th Division to withstand the Japanese attack first and let the main force of the Fifth Army arrive at Tonggu to block the Japanese army's offensive momentum. But now the airport is lost... The small side is that the 200th Division is trapped in the Japanese army's siege, and the big side is that it disrupted the entire expeditionary army, and even the strategic plan of the Allied forces, it is no wonder that Dai Anlan was so angry.

And the Engineer Regiment was the culprit for all this... After this incident was spread, even the soldiers who ran by the Engineer Regiment cast contempt and even hatred.

The contempt is because the soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army without hesitation, but the Engineer Regiment is so vulnerable.

Hate is because of the retreat of the engineering regiment, which led to the entire division and even the entire army being in a passive strategic position, and the most direct thing is to put the 200th Division in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army.

The soldiers of the Engineering Corps were in this situation and of course they felt bad. They all sat on the ground holding guns and kept silent.

Zhang Chi believed that if possible, the soldiers of the Engineering Corps would like to go to the battlefield immediately to fight the Japanese devils to avenge their previous shame, but unfortunately they didn't have this opportunity.

What the soldiers of the Engineering Corps did not expect was that even worse news was still coming...

"Platform Commander!" In the evening, Xiao Zhejiang, who had just returned from the removal of his hands, ran to Chen Qiming and said, "Have you heard that? The division commander is going to shoot the regiment commander!"

"What?!" Chen Qiming jumped up from the ground like a spring, but after thinking about it, he sighed heavily and sat down.

Although there are various reasons why the Engineering Corps was defeated by the Japanese army, the battlefield is the battlefield, and the battlefield is a place where there is no reason to talk about the results.
