Chapter four hundred and thirtieth two powerful fight
Regarding Zhao Jun's accusation, Su Yingqi did not explain, nor did he want to explain anything. Instead, he personally led two guards and dug a pit of one and a half meters on the spot. When he had no one, he personally talked with Chen Zhiping, who came to help. When Wang Deyao's body was buried, Zhao Jun came over like crazy to stop him.
Su Yingqi did not speak, but Chen Zhiping over there opened his mouth to the two guards of Wang Deyao, as well as his own and Su Yingqi's guards, and said in an extremely stern tone: "You two drag Staff Zhao away, if you can't suppress it, He tied him up with a rope."
When Chen Zhiping said this, his tone was extremely stern. Several guards and Zhao Jun were all shocked by his tone. Especially the guards around Chen Zhiping could always be extremely kind in front of his subordinates. This was the first time they had seen Chen Zhiping speak in such a tone.
Just when several people were in a daze because of Chen Zhiping's rare anger, Su Yingqi moved very quickly. He carved a line of writing on a Japanese military helmet with a bayonet and placed it next to Wang Deyao. He picked up an engineer's shovel and shoveled it in a few times. Then they covered most of Wang Deyao's body with soil.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was not struggling, Chen Zhiping, who naturally did not really want to tie him up, turned around and buried Wang Deyao with Su Yingqi. After all the work was completed, Su Yingqi smashed the engineer shovel and inserted it into the In front of Wang Deyao's grave, a broken rifle butt was found, tied into a cross with an upright engineering shovel, and a temporary tombstone was made. However, this tombstone was only a little exposed from the ground, and there was no inscription on it. name.
After everything was settled, Su Yingqi and Chen Zhiping stood in front of the small grave where the highest military commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the entire Aruhorqin Banner was buried. They saluted a military salute in a formal manner. After putting down the saluting hand, Su Yingqi He turned around and said to several people: "Go back to the front."
"Didn't Noboru Kunizaki think that after receiving the telegram from the Chief of Staff, we would definitely respond as soon as possible, but I just refused to let him get his wish. Since the Japanese in front of us have been circled, we have absolute firepower. Advantage, if we don’t eat him cleanly, we will be sorry to Commander Wang.”
Having said that, Su Yingqi turned around and glanced at Wang Deyao's grave, then walked towards the front line without looking back. He was walking in front. Although he did not dare to stop him from handling Wang Deyao's funeral so hastily, he was quite dissatisfied. Zhao Jun was unwilling to leave just like that.
Although he was forcibly dragged by Chen Zhiping's guards, he was still muttering in his mouth. However, he was still quite dissatisfied with Su Yingqi's handling. He thought that under the circumstances that the commander's body could be brought back, just It's really outrageous to bury the commander here so hastily.
Su Yingqi may not have heard his muttering, but more likely, he may have heard it or pretended not to hear it. For a commander like Su Yingqi who has the same personality as Wang Deyao, there are some things that he is unwilling to do. Explain more, or rather, don’t bother to explain.
It's just that Zhao Jun's words sounded different to Chen Zhiping's ears. Although Chen Zhiping didn't have much thought to say anything now, Zhao Jun's words became increasingly unpleasant, which finally made the political commissar unable to restrain himself. Own anger: "Counsel Zhao, what you said is a little too much."
"Indeed, we can take Commander Wang back now, but have you considered that once the news of Commander Wang's sacrifice spreads, what impact will it have on the troops who are fighting bloody battles in front, and will cause the morale of the military to fluctuate. As a result, you As a staff officer, do you really not know?"
"Also, we retreat along the way. We don't know what kind of situation we will encounter. What if there is a melee with the Japanese army and Commander Wang's body is lost? You know, the next step we have to face is the Seventh Division With the main force of the regiment, any situation may happen. How do you know that we will not encounter even a single enemy force along the way?"
"Now we will bury Commander Wang's body here for the time being. At least we know the exact location. When the battle is over, as long as one of us is alive, we can take Commander Wang back at any time, but we must bury Commander Wang's body on the battlefield. If it's lost, you can look for it somewhere else. When a shell comes down, everything will be blown to pieces, so you can look for it wherever you go."
"Instead of risking the regret of not being able to find anything in the future, it is better to bury it here now and come back to search after the battle is over, because we all believe that the winner of this battle will definitely be us, as long as the winner is We, we can take Commander Wang home at any time."
After all, he was Su Yingqi's old partner. He knew his partner very well. As soon as Su Yingqi made a move, he basically knew the intention. However, Su Yingqi didn't want to explain Zhao Jun's incomprehension. As a political commissar, he had to explain. If someone Because of the accusation behind this matter, Su Yingqi is likely to be punished for this matter.
You must know that the Anti-Japanese League takes a very serious approach to discarding the remains of martyrs and the wounded. Whether they are military or political cadres, they are all lightly punished. There was once a battalion-level cadre who lost a few pieces due to paralysis and carelessness during the battle. The body of the martyr was never found after the war, and he was dismissed from the army and assigned to the Production and Construction Corps to be the director of a village armed committee.
Those were the veterans who broke out from the secret base of Qunce Mountain together with the top military and political leaders of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Because they lost several martyrs' bodies, they were treated so severely. This is extremely serious among ordinary troops. It was rare that he was a fighting hero and a real veteran subordinate of No. 1. Chen Zhiping did not want his old partner to make the same mistake as the battalion commander.
Chen Zhiping's words left Zhao Jun speechless at the time. It was not that he didn't understand this truth. On a chaotic battlefield, marching with a corpse might still result in a complete loss in the end. , he was just concerned and confused, and couldn't bear that his beloved leader was hastily buried here, and he couldn't even enter the martyrs' cemeteries built by the military region.
Looking at Zhao Jun who seemed silent after listening to his words, Chen Zhiping sighed and said: "Commander Su participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Soviet areas of Sichuan and Shaanxi. During the Long March, he crossed the grassland three times and the Western Expedition. He has experienced glory. He has also experienced failures, and he has suffered far more than us. He did this for his own reasons."
"I understand your thoughts. No one wants to see our beloved old leader buried alone on the edge of Lake Zagastanol without even a coffin after his sacrifice. Not even the Martyrs Cemetery is there. If you can't get in, even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept it."
"But you have to consider the reality of the situation and whether we are allowed to do that. You are a combat staff member who provides reference for the commander to command operations, not a company and platoon leader. If you always think about problems simply like this and do things like this If you feel the urge, then I will report to my superiors whether it is appropriate for you to continue to serve as the combat staff officer."
Everything that should be said was said, and everything that should not be said was said. Chen Zhiping, who thought that he had said enough and should let this young guy think about it by himself, did not say anything, but walked a few steps quickly. He walked to Su Yingqi and looked at him with a solemn expression. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old Su, you have to think carefully about whether it is appropriate to continue this battle."
"We have notified the heavy artillery units behind us to reorganize their formation and move closer to us. In other words, we will not receive any fire support at least during their transfer. If we rely solely on the troops we have on hand, if we want to completely To encircle and annihilate the encircled enemy, I'm afraid the price to pay is quite high."
"If we cripple this last force, how can we reinforce the Chief of Staff's side? I think after the heavy artillery troops arrive, we will immediately use alternate cover to evacuate from here. You have to understand that we are here Once the few effective forces on the side are severely weakened, then even if we rush to Bala Chirud's side, we will basically be unable to play our role."
Regarding Chen Zhiping's concerns, Su Yingqi nodded and said: "I have just considered this issue. So far, the Chief of Staff still has two companies of troops, but he has not been able to contact us. The troops we have on hand are scattered. Minato, plus the lightly wounded who can still hold on, is only the strength of a reinforced battalion."
"There are two infantry squadrons of the Japanese army on the opposite side. Although the losses are not light, there is actually not much disparity in the strength of the troops. Judging from the situation on the entire battlefield, if we fight hard, we will eat this pot of raw rice. , but we will definitely be the unlucky ones in the end.”
"But Lao Chen, if we give up now, this Japanese army will become a major obstacle to our retreat. Although the Japanese army now surrounded by us has less than two-thirds of its original strength, according to the level of the Japanese army, It has not completely lost its combat effectiveness."
"If they take advantage of our retreat, although we don't care, our retreat will definitely not be smooth, especially since we are also carrying heavy artillery troops and field artillery that have certain difficulties in moving, as well as wounded soldiers who were injured in previous battles, so we cannot do it. If you move forward lightly, if you give up now, you will easily be disturbed by them."
"And once we withdraw from the siege, the Japanese troops in other directions will inevitably be alert. If the Japanese troops take advantage of the fact that our troops are not marching very fast and pursue them, we will be the unlucky ones. So the Japanese troops in front of us will be the unlucky ones." , we must not only fight but also fight with greater momentum.”
"After a while, after the heavy artillery troops have withdrawn, let the company with the remaining half of the Japanese squadron also withdraw. That half of the Japanese squadron will not be able to come down from the hill. Just use mines to trap them and prevent them from pursuing them. , there is no need to involve a company and half a heavy machine gun company there, plus two mortars and a mountain cannon."
"After they withdraw, you take them with you to cover the heavy artillery troops and the wounded. You must evacuate as quickly as possible along the route I told you. I will continue to fight here for a while and wait until you are fifteen kilometers away. Finally, I will decide when to evacuate depending on the situation."
"When you leave, I will give you another reinforced platoon. You put this reinforced platoon in front and form a battle formation. Once you encounter a small number of Japanese troops, fight them out with clenched fists. If you encounter a larger number of Japanese troops, don't Move easily, quickly occupy favorable terrain and hold on to it."
"Although your brother was born as a political cadre, the biggest battle was that he participated in the ambush battle against a small group of puppet troops. But personally, I think you still have this ability. Otherwise, you are so thick in your horse bag. A thick stack of books like "On War" is just a waste of time."
