Towards the west, all the way to the west.

The horse team of the three dogs quickly shook off the devils who entered Luowang Village, and the small group of devils did not think about chasing them, and it was estimated that they were only responding to the orders of their superiors to check the reason for the smoke in the village.

I can only use the horse team to describe the three dogs and them, dressed in nondescript clothes, like peasants and homeless people, more like bandits and robbers.

It's just that the horse under the crotch is a good horse, tall and strong and running fast, but Sangou doesn't want these horses to be too dazzling, so he didn't specifically ask someone to clean and comb his hair, and even deliberately made some dirty mud to make the horse dirty.

Despite this, the owners of these horses, Matsuda, later learned their whereabouts.

Matsuda and the others went back and found some horses, chased them all the way, took the documents of the 14th Division, and asked other Japanese soldiers along the way, so that they could naturally understand the whereabouts of the three dogs.

And Sangou's side told everyone to keep an eye on the situation on the road, not only the situation of the enemy and us, but also whether their troops had left some code to guide the direction or something.

Because before entering Sanyi Village that night, Sangou and Battalion Commander Liu and Regiment Commander Zhang made an appointment that in case they lost contact with the large army, they would leave some secret messages between them on the way in order to find a convergence.

This is also a normal agreement, the three dogs told everyone the code, in fact, it is very simple, it is the word "seven" of the seven, the word "seven" is a horizontal left head, indicating the direction.

If it is in the left direction, it is a correct "seven", and if you go to the right road, it is easy to understand the "seven" character written in reverse.

On the road from Sanyi Village to Luowang Station before, Sangou didn't see any clues, and they didn't leave a code, so they discussed the next move with Xiucai.

There was no code on that section of the road, which was normal, and it was normal for the large army to go in a hurry, or the third battalion did not retreat to this section of the road and stayed elsewhere.

And Sangou didn't stay, but Sangou felt that the big army had gone far away, and there was no need to stay, unless he retreated before the big army, there was this need.

But now that they have walked dozens of miles in the direction where the large army should retreat, it is necessary to make some secret signals, so that their own search team can find them in the future.

To put it mildly, if all of their squad were unfortunately killed in battle, and someone would come to collect their bodies and identify the martyrs, the family would receive a pension.

Although Sangou talked to Commander Zhang before entering Sanyi Village, and gave the list to the regiment headquarters, if they could not return to the team for a long time and could not find their traces, they would be dealt with according to all the sacrifices and all the martyrs.

In this way, the pension of the brothers in the team will be doubled, which is calculated according to the death squad, and in addition, the family of each brother can receive a certain pension every year.

At the head of Luowang Village, the three dogs used bayonets to draw a dignified "seven" on the earthen wall, indicating that they were heading along the left-hand side of Luowang Village, that is, to the west.

Coincidentally, the three dogs went all the way to the place where they handed over Miao Ying on the map, and found that it was not the first "seven" code they marked themselves, but also referring to the direction to the west.

This discovery made everyone ecstatic, although the discovery of the code does not mean that you can find or chase the large army, and it does not even mean that everyone is out of danger.

But the mood is amazing, from this moment on, it seems that I am no longer an abandoned crowd, that sense of belonging is back, the third battalion and the 305th regiment have not forgotten us, they are also waiting for us to go home, back to the arms of the big army.

That's why this code was only discovered here, and afterwards Sangou knew that the retreat route of the 305th Regiment was different from Sangou.

The 305th Regiment first retreated all the way west along the south bank of the Yellow River, then went south to the Longhai Line, took the train, and went to Zhengzhou to take the train of the Pinghan Line to the south to Miyang for rectification.

But the three dogs were obviously too happy too early.

After everyone saw the code in Miao Ying, they accelerated their speed along the Longhai line and rode away hoping to catch up with the large army as soon as possible and get out of danger.

This operation to infiltrate Sanyi Village should be said to be very successful for Sangou and them, not only blowing up the ammunition depot of the Japanese army, but also touching the Japanese headquarters, but they did not catch Tufeiyuan.

For a small detachment of more than 20 people, such an achievement can be regarded as a great achievement, but it is precisely because the retreat of the large army does not fight that this credit seems dispensable.

It's like a football game, where one of the humble players scored a crucial goal with their own efforts, but the team was beaten by the opponent in the end and lost the game.

Sangou They don't know why the big army withdrew so quickly and cleanly, and the places they had worked hard to fight all the way before, such as Yifeng, Lanfeng, Maoguzhai, Yang Yiyuan, etc., were all lost.

The places that were fought at such a great cost are now all given to the devils, and when I think about it, it is indeed a little difficult to figure out, but as low-level officers and soldiers, most people do not have this overall concept.

It is precisely because we do not understand the overall situation that there is no way to understand some of the military ideas above, but everyone seems to have become accustomed to this kind of life of fighting everywhere.

For some low-level soldiers, as long as they have food to eat, they don't know where they go or where they will go, they only know how to carry out orders.

As for the losses caused by the mistake of command in the overall situation, even endangering their lives, in their eyes, it seems that it has nothing to do with them, although they are all victims of it.

As a company commander, although Sangou can't get in touch with higher-level military secrets, he can also get in touch with a trace of the military situation in the direction of the overall situation, so he will think about it crankily.

But even if I think that this is a problem with the command from above, I can't have any voice or participation in it, so I can only endure and carry it out.

And he can't pass on this emotion or the inside story to his brothers, disturbing the morale of his own people, it will do no harm, it is better to let these things rot in his stomach.

Now Sangou is still worried about whether his Seventh Company will lose too much in this Sanyi Village peripheral battle because he doesn't know the information of the big army, or whether he can survive more brothers by luck.

I don't know how these twenty or so brothers will treat this operation afterwards, and how they will face the action he took the initiative to propose.

But so far, at least the operation has been successful, and he has escaped with his brothers, at least at this point of saving his life, Sangou has done it.

If these people did not engage in this operation, but followed the large army to participate in the peripheral attack of Sanyi Village, it would be like a glass of water followed by a large bucket of water to fight a fire, and they would not be able to fight according to their own wishes.

A small company, in such a large corps battle, where it died, could not attract attention, or even died in vain, what could not be contributed, how wronged it must be.
