Li Yan's reinforced regiment and the Nationalist troops at the south gate of Xishan County just raised their guns and aimed at each other. No one had the intention to put down the gun first. Just as a few soldiers in the front row of the Nationalist army were about to pull the trigger.
At that time, a national army officer came to the front row from the rear of the army and yelled. Seeing this, the national army soldiers put their rifles back on their shoulders and stood facing the national army officer, but their eyes were still tight.
They stared at Li Yan's reinforcement group, fearing that something unexpected would happen. When the brothers of the reinforcement group saw that the national army soldiers had no intention of using force against them, they put down their guns and looked in front of them.
of the national army.
Li Yan walked forward towards the national army commander and looked up, and found that the man in front of him was the commander of the 47th Division of the Jinsui Army who led troops to rescue him last time. Last time, Li Yan was besieged by a large Japanese army. Fortunately, he got his
With help, Li Yan was able to get out of danger. This time he drove away the Japanese troops who were preparing to attack Xishan County. This could be regarded as indirectly helping him. Thinking of this, Li Yan took a few steps forward and wanted to talk to him.
This old man said a few words, but as soon as his words came to his lips, the commander of the Jinsui Army spoke first:
"Li Yan, although we have been separated for a long time, I think you should still remember me. I am the supreme commander of this army, the commander of the 47th Division of the Jinsui Army, Qin Mo, and I will bring troops to you this time.
Xishan County is not here to occupy this place, but it is not accidental. After the Battle of Xishan, we received orders from our superiors to mobilize troops to fight on the front line. According to our intelligence, there are only seven regiments of Japanese soldiers on the front line.
There were almost 22,000 people, so at first I thought this battle would be over soon, but then I realized I was wrong..."
When Qin Mo said this, he raised his head and glanced at Li Yan. Seeing that Li Yan was not distracted and thinking about anything else, he continued: "Compared with my Forty-seventh Division, the Japanese troops are not even half as strong as ours, but the frontline area is easily accessible."
It was difficult to defend and attack. We lost two regiments on the first day of the war. When the Japanese saw this posture, they fought harder and harder. In less than a few days, half of our division had been destroyed. The superiors had no choice but to retreat.
I originally wanted to lead my troops to resist for a while, but looking at the situation at the time, fighting head-on would only be seeking death. So in order to be able to counterattack in the future, I could only order the rest of my team to pass through Xishan.
The Nansuo Bridge retreated to the south of Xishan Mountain, but I didn't expect that this important information would fall into the hands of the Japanese. These beasts took advantage of the fact that we were about to pass the Nansuo Bridge and blew up the bridge... I
Half of the remaining brothers are dead."
When Li Yan heard this, he quickly brought the reinforcement team back to Xishan County. Then he turned around and came to Qin Mo. He put his hand on his shoulder and patted him, indicating that he would lead the team into Xishan County with him. Qin Mo
Mo initially disagreed, but after a brief period of thinking, Qin Mo put down his arrogance and followed Li Yan into the south gate of Xishan County.
As soon as Qin Mo arrived at Xishan County, he began to count the number of his soldiers. Li Yan did not speak anymore, but stood aside and counted silently in his heart along with Qin Mo's fingers. It was not until Qin Mo finished counting that Li Yan truly
Realizing the brutality of this battle, Qin Mo's army of tens of thousands was reduced to less than 2,200 at this time. The 47th Division of the Jinsui Army suddenly became the 4th Division of the Jinsui Army.
Regiment Seventeen, Li Yan turned his head to the side when he thought of this, lowering his head and thinking.
But at this time, Li Yan was not just mourning for the brothers who died in the battle, but was also thinking about whether he could persuade Qin Mo to let his two thousand two hundred people join his team.
Not only can it be convenient to defend against the Japanese troops who may attack Xishan County again, but it can also expand its own military strength. In this case, it will be beneficial to the overall situation of Xishan in the future. Li Yan thought of this and walked to Qin Mo.
He spoke his thoughts loudly.
But before Li Yan could finish his words, Qin Mo became angry: "Li Yan, I know what you mean, you just want to take advantage of the defeat of my 47th Division to recruit my troops, and then use our help
You defend Xishan County and help you fight the Japanese, right? Well, I will tell you clearly today that I, Qin Mo, will not betray the party and state! If you change your mind now and agree to temporarily form an alliance with my 47th Division to deal with the Japanese
If you want to live, I will promise you to stay here for a while, but if you have other purposes, don't blame me for turning against you!" After Qin Mo said that, he gathered the troops and prepared to lead them to leave Xishan County.
When Li Yan saw this, he did not mention the matter again. Instead, he walked up to Qin Mo and said, "Brother, I have no objection if you want to leave, but I want to ask you now, is your residence also in this Xishan Mountain?"
?How much of your intelligence transmission has to pass through Xishan County to reach its destination? If the Japanese attack our Xishan County in a large scale and occupy it, it will be of no benefit to us, and it will be the same to you. On the other hand, although you
We have just driven away the Japanese soldiers who came to attack the two regiments of Xishan County, but can you withstand the coming war of attrition? My current reinforced regiment has a total of 7,482 people. If the two of us
I believe that together we can effectively resist the enemy's attack, but if we let these devils take advantage of the loopholes and defeat them one by one, it will be neither good for you nor for me. I've finished my words. It's up to you to decide whether to leave or stay.
."
After Qin Mo heard this, he thought about it for a long time, and finally turned back to face Li Yan, nodded, and ordered his remaining soldiers to join in the work of repairing the city wall. Li Yan saw Qin Mo
He no longer wanted to leave Xishan County, so he turned around and walked into Xishan Hospital. After a while, he came to Qin Mo again, holding a time bomb in his hand, and this bomb was before the Japanese officer performed the transportation mission.
Deliberately left behind, this Japanese officer originally planned to completely blow up the Xishan County Hospital after the transport team arrived at the designated location. However, before they could activate the bomb, they were killed by the brothers from the reinforcement group who rushed forward. This timed bomb did not activate.
The bomb naturally fell into Li Yan's hands.
Li Yan handed the bomb to Qin Mo's hand: "Brother, do you recognize this?" Seeing Qin Mo nodding, Li Yan moved a few gasoline barrels from a distance and placed them on the ground, then put the time bomb in his hand
Fixed on the gasoline barrel, Qin Mo followed Li Yan's movements and thought carefully for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up, thinking that if he guessed correctly, Li Yan should be making a powerful bomb with a wider range of damage.
