Li Yan frowned: "Brother, tell me again, what happened to your regiment?" In fact, Li Yan understood what Qin Mo wanted to express at this time, but he did not completely believe it at this time.
Instead, he turned to look at Qin Mo and said what he just said. Qin Mo did not reply immediately after hearing this.
Replying to Li Yan, he stretched out his right hand to pinch the foreign cigarette in his mouth, smoked half of it in one breath, then grabbed the butt of the cigarette and threw it to the ground, raised his right foot and stepped hard on the butt of the cigarette.
It wasn't until he stepped on the cigarette butt that the shape couldn't be distinguished, then he looked up at Li Yan and answered slowly:
"Didn't you hear clearly? My whole regiment was taken over by the Japanese in this battle! I, Qin Mo, only led two regiments in your Eighth Route Army, and they were the soldiers I led single-handedly!
Now it’s all gone... I’m such a fucking loser.” After saying that, he sank down and sat down on the ground.
After hearing this, Li Yan pondered for a moment, then turned around and stared at Qin Mo closely and said: "Brother, you are not a coward at all, and you did not tell me the truth about some situations in the battle just now...
.." Li Yan suddenly paused here, thought about it for a while, and then asked in a low voice:
"Brother, in the battle just now, I did not bring all my troops to suppress these Japanese soldiers. Instead, I left two of your regiments in place to provide fire cover, while I led the other three regiments to intercept them.
Japanese troops, but then you brought your troops to rush up with us to intercept these Japanese soldiers. Can you explain this matter?"
Seeing that Qin Mo didn't respond, Li Yan followed up and said: "Brother, if my judgment is correct, your regiment did not die because of some bullshit cowards!"
Seeing that Li Yan had figured out his thoughts, Qin Mo did not hide anything anymore. Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Yan and explained word by word:
"Li Yan, in fact, when you led the troops to the predecessor of the Japanese troops, the four regiments in charge of the west side of the northwest plain of Xishan were already at a disadvantage, and there were signs of continuing to move to the west. But if it develops like this
If we go down, the four regiments behind us will continue to retreat until they disappear from our sight. Although you later led troops to rescue, you only came to the rear of this group of Japanese soldiers. Although the Japanese soldiers were encountered by the rear group,
attack, but it does not affect the charge offensive of the vanguard..."
"In this case, the Japanese soldiers in the northwest of Xishan will continue to attack the four regiments responsible for defending on the west side, and at the same time move the entire army to the west side, attacking instead of defending, until all four regiments on the west side are eliminated
, then go back and attack the three regiments behind me. At this time, your fire cover will no longer be effective, so the Japanese troops can launch a fierce attack on us unscrupulously until we are eliminated, so...
." Li Yan interrupted.
Having said this, Qin Mo's meaning is self-explanatory. At the same time that the situation of the previous battle was reversed, Qin Mo discovered a place in the Japanese army that was relatively loosely guarded.
glorious troops and
The battle between Li Yan's troops and the Japanese troops on the northwest road of Xishan was in full swing. They were all focused on destroying these Japanese soldiers as quickly as possible. However, the Japanese troops were fighting farther and farther west and were about to pull Li Yan and Liu Guangyao's troops to Qin Mo.
outside the range of fire cover.
Qin Mo didn't think too much and hurriedly gathered his two regiments together to attack the weakest defensive position of the Japs. This changed the direction of the Japs' troops. However, the strength gap between Qin Mo's troops and the Japs' troops was too big.
, Under this situation, the original containment turned into a forced defense in an instant. Qin Mo's troops could not resist, and groups of people died on the battlefield. The entire incident has been analyzed to this point, and the truth has been revealed.
"Brother... I'm sorry." Li Yan slowly lowered his head and thought back and forth. At this time, Qin Mo had already conveyed the whole story to Li Yan, so he felt a lot better.
, seeing Li Yan staying where he was, Qin Mo came to Li Yan and stretched out his right hand to pat his shoulder to comfort him:
"Li Yan, the battle is over. Although I lost an entire regiment, it saved the entire battle in the northwest of Xishan. Your brother is worth it. If you encounter this kind of situation again next time, you can even bring me in."
, I have no complaints. We are now in the stage of struggle. As long as we are fighting, we cannot avoid sacrifice. You and I know this very well..."
Qin Mo's words stopped abruptly. He lit another cigarette and held it in his mouth. He took a deep breath and blew out a puff of smoke into the air with a sigh. Li Yan said nothing more after seeing this.
What, just stand quietly in place, with
Qin Mo beside him was silent. After a while, Qin Mo gradually calmed down. Seeing that Li Yan had no intention of leaving, he leaned towards Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, go back." After saying that, he stretched out his body.
Use your right hand to point toward the exit of the woods.
Li Yan nodded slightly and followed Qin Mo out of the woods to Jiang Zhen. At this time, Jiang Zhen's cleaning task had been completed. Jiang Zhen looked around and saw that there was nothing to pay attention to, so he came to Li Yan
In front of Qin Mo: "Qin Mo, what's going on? Tell me." Qin Mo did not answer Jiang Zhen after hearing this.
, just stretched out his hand to point to his troops, Jiang Zhen looked in the direction of Qin Mo's finger, then turned to look at Qin Mo: "Qin Mo, isn't it just that one regiment is missing? I will allocate a regiment to him when we go back.
You take the blame! But why did it cause such a big loss? You have to explain it clearly to me after you go back."
Qin Mo waved his hand and said in reply: "Brigadier Jiang, I will report all the ins and outs of this matter to you after the troops safely return to the Western Shandong base area, but I don't think it is necessary to expand our troops.
I have been leading the two regiments for a long time, and I have developed feelings for them. However, something like this happened during the battle yesterday. Although I will not complain about anything, I feel uncomfortable..." Qin Mo said this.
Then he turned around and walked alone towards the west Shandong base.
"Let him calm down for a while." After Li Yan finished saying this, he came to Liu Guangyao, reorganized his reinforced regiment troops, and handed the entire army to Liu Guangyao, letting him take charge of this half.
Strengthening the work of bringing back the regiment, the Eighth Route Army troops from Xishan Nanqiao and Xishan Southwest saw that Liu Guangyao had begun to lead the team back, so they also took their respective troops towards the base area.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhen also came to his troops, preparing to take the troops back to the Xishandong base area. However, just when he was about to issue the order, a gunshot suddenly came from the northwest plain of Xishan. Jiang Zhen heard this sound
After the gunshot, he did not rush to lead the team back. Instead, he looked back at Li Yan and asked: "Li Yan, did you hear the gunshot?" Seeing Li Yan nodded, Jiang Zhen led a team of more than a hundred people
He took it out, looked up at Li Yan and said:
"You can lead the team there to check it out now. If it's the Orions, come back. If you encounter the remaining Japanese troops, fire off a flare and I will lead the team to assist you." After hearing this, Li Yan came to the team.
, led the team and slowly pushed forward in the direction where the gunfire came from.
