Seeing that the situation had calmed down a little, Lao Li followed Li Yan to the barracks. His eyes slowly moved from left to right, and it seemed that he was hesitating about something. Li Yan and Liu Guangyao just looked at each other.
, without saying a word, Xiaomei stood aside, thinking about what to say at this juncture, but just when she was about to open her mouth, Lao Li, who was silent on the side, secretly pushed her,
Xiaomei signaled her to be silent. Although Xiaomei didn't know what Lao Li was thinking right now, she didn't make a sound immediately. She looked at Li Yan worriedly for a few times and then walked to another bunk and was injured by someone on the arm.
The slightly wounded soldier was simply bandaged.
Lao Li's current mood is actually the same as that of Liu Guangyao, who was half lying on the bunk silently. They are actually afraid that Li Yan will recklessly lead a regiment of brothers or rush to major enemy strongholds and Japanese soldiers alone.
If you try your best, you will not only be punished by your superiors, but also cause some unnecessary losses. But judging from the fact that Li Yan led the brothers to break out of the concentration camp, this kid has not yet reached the point where he dares to pick up a big knife without thinking about anything.
When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, his stubborn temper will probably disappear in a short time.
But Lao Li really didn't know how to explain the Japanese air attack in the morning.
Yesterday morning, the headquarters sent a telegram to Lao Li's combat conference room. The content probably stated that the Japanese would deploy three regiments of troops to attack Lao Li's Xishan garrison in the near future. Although other military divisions had the idea of sending reinforcements,
In the end, they gave up because the terrain was too dangerous to march. After a while of discussion, it was decided to move the troops in the entire Xishan garrison first, and then wait until the enemy's actions were over to return or merge with other military regions depending on the situation.
But for some reason, a section of this information was intercepted by the Japanese spies when it was sent to the Xishan garrison, and it was also the most critical part. Therefore, in order to remedy the situation, two hours after the message was sent, Lao Li held a combat meeting
There is another piece of information in the room, but the content of this information is very different from the previous meaning of the headquarters. The meaning expressed on the paper is: the transfer information of the Xishan garrison has been leaked, and now the enemy is sending spies to infiltrate into the interior of Xishan.
I'm afraid we have now grasped your troops' marching route. The contents of the telegram stopped abruptly at this point.
After seeing these two telegrams, Lao Li was in a dilemma. Now there are less than 7,000 people left in the station including the independent regiment. Although Yokota's troops were almost completely wiped out before, for other Japanese soldiers
The specific data of the stronghold has not been fully grasped, which is a trouble in the first place. If I insist on moving according to the original march route, once the Japanese really figure out this route and launch a large-scale attack, it will inevitably cause unforeseen consequences to the troops who are short of troops.
If the estimated losses are delayed, the Japanese will take the opportunity to attack the garrison again, which will also cut off the retreat of the entire army. At this time, Lao Li felt like an ant on a hot pot. In addition to being helpless, he still
have no choice.
After thinking for a long time, Lao Li called Liu Guangyao into the combat conference room while Li Yan was practicing gunnery, and asked him to take the first and second regiments out of the station first, and then take away the independent regiment of several hundred people after confirming the safety of these two troops.
, if no unexpected changes occurred, they could have quietly withdrawn from Xishan without losing any troops. Unexpectedly, just when they were about to implement it, the Japanese bombers came over, and then this happened.
"Chief." Li Yan suddenly whispered, which startled Old Li who was thinking, but Old Li immediately returned to his previous expression. He first walked around the barracks to comfort him.
He looked at the brothers who were injured in the Japanese air raid, then glanced at Liu Guangyao, and seeing that he didn't speak, he returned to Li Yan and whispered an order: "Li Yan, come out with me, I have something to say to you.
"
Li Yan glanced at Liu Guangyao in surprise, but Liu Guangyao ignored him and just turned his head to one side, but he said: "Li Yan, just go out when Old Li tells you to."
There was no more movement. When Li Yan and Lao Li walked out and closed the door, Liu Guangyao, who had been half-sitting on the bunk, suddenly lay on it, with tears streaming down his face, and his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't say anything.
No one could understand what he was saying.
After a while, the door of the barracks reopened, and Li Yan and Lao Li came back here, but they didn't speak for a long time, and the expressions on their faces were extremely serious from beginning to end, but
There was more of a complicated expression on Li Yan's face. In the conversation between Lao Li and Li Yan just now, Li Yan learned about the interception of intelligence and also understood Lao Li's good intentions in issuing the decision to delay the transfer.
He knew very well that if Lao Li had not chosen to delay the transfer and divide his troops to retreat, then the air raid that had just occurred would definitely have dealt a devastating blow to the brothers stationed here. All of this was for the sake of the overall situation. Thinking of this, Li Yan's emotions
After calming down a little, he slowly raised his head and said, "Sir, I understand. Let us tell you what we brothers should do next."
Old Li glanced at Liu Guangyao, and Liu Guangyao nodded slightly. Then Old Li took out a map from his pocket and laid it on the bunk where Liu Guangyao was lying, and began to study the relevant information with Li Yan and Liu Guangyao.
Regarding the matter of reasonable transfer, Li Yan looked up and down the map and found that a point on the map very close to the Xishan Station was drawn with a red circle, and next to the red circle, a thin red line was drawn by
It extended from north to south to a place with a small red flag posted on the east side of Xishan Middle Road. In addition, he also noticed a stronghold with a plaster flag posted on the southwest corner of Xishan Pass. Li Yan pointed to the plaster flag with his finger.
Qi asked Lao Li: "Sir, where did these devils come from?"
"This group of Japs came from the south and have been here for a few days. The leader is Yuuji Watanabe. He has served in the army for generations and has just graduated from the Special High School. He has rich intelligence experience and combat experience.
I guess the reason why this gang of Japanese came here is because they already knew that we had killed those beasts in Yokota, so they advanced here and waited for an opportunity to kill us in one fell swoop to take revenge." Lao Li explained.
"But they dare not, and this time their ultimate goal is not our Xishan garrison." Li Yan, who had been observing for a long time, suddenly said, and Li Yan's words also made Liu Guangyao, who was also analyzing the situation, feel
He was a little surprised, "Why did you say that?" he asked.
Li Yan shook his numb body a few times, changed his posture, and placed his right index finger on a more obvious place on the map: "Because of them."
