Chapter 317: Where to Retreat

The spring rains, which had been going on for days, had finally stopped, and the air was still moist, and the cool spring breeze was blowing on the wilderness, but the smell of gunpowder smoke wafting from time to time reminded people that there had been a fierce battle here not long ago.

Su Jinhe walked on the muddy battlefield, surrounded by broken gun shells and mutilated corpses, the wet spring breeze blowing, and his nose was full of choking gunpowder smoke and a thick smell of blood.

Mo Lin and Alden also followed Su Jin's side, looking at the tragic battlefield, the two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly feel surprise in their hearts. It's just that I came all the way and saw the No. 4 and No. 2 tanks driving by from time to time, although I had already prepared in my heart, but Mo Lin's face was still a little difficult to look at, after all, anyone who saw their country's latest main tank appeared in another country's army like this inexplicably would not feel good.

Su Jin stopped in front of a No. 2 tank, and next to this tank, a slender and tall officer was facing away from him and directing several armored soldiers to hang the wire rope on another tank and prepare to tow it away. As soon as he turned his head and saw Su Jin, he stood up and saluted: "Hello, sir!" ”

Su Jin nodded and saluted back, and then said, "Major Adele, who do you see coming?" ”

Hearing this, Adele thought of the two blonde and blue-eyed white men behind him, who were also like her, and when her eyes saw Morin's face, she shouted in surprise: "Uncle Morin, why are you here?" ”

After seeing Adele, Morin's originally solemn face also showed a smile: "Adele." You okay? ”

Adele's expression was first happy, and then her expression was a little difficult to look at: "Uncle Morin, why did you come to Huaxia?" Our whole family has fled to Huaxia. Don't you secret police want to let us go? ”

Looking at Adele's guarded expression, Morin couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, a calm voice came from the side: "Adele, you also look up to our family too much." Who is the secret police, how can it be that we nobodies have come to China thousands of miles away! ”

When everyone looked at it, it turned out that Fred also came over at some point. I saw him walk up to Morin, and the two of them looked at each other quietly at first, but they didn't speak. Alden on the side looked at them a little nervously, for fear that the two would fight. Su Jin watched it with relish, and guessed maliciously that these two guys looked a little wrong, I'm afraid there was really a basis, right?

After a while. After looking at it, Morin suddenly stretched out his right hand and hit Fred's arm hard, with a look of joy in his eyes: "Fred, it's great to see that you're okay!" ”

Fred snorted lightly and said angrily: "What's good, it's not that you have driven me out of Germany!" ”

The two of them finished speaking. At the same time, he laughed. Only then did they come to each other, and the actions of the two made Su Jin even more firm in his guess.

"Is this how the Germans meet?" Su Jin on the side was not without malicious conjectures.

After the two met, Fred asked, "Morin, why did you come to Huaxia?" Is Germany planning to re-establish relations with the Chinese government? ”

Mo Lin shook his head solemnly: "Fred, this is impossible, and the policy that has been set will naturally not be changed easily. I'm here on orders from the High Command to investigate why your troops are showing up on a large scale with the Empire's latest equipment and sarin gas. ”

Fred nodded, a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, "Okay, I see. But it has nothing to do with me, you must know that I am only a colonel who has been dismissed from the Wehrmacht. I don't have the skills to get that much stuff. ”

Merlin shook his head helplessly: "Fred, your stinky temper hasn't changed after so long, but then again, if you really have the ability to get so many weapons from the Empire's arsenal, you won't be fired by the Wehrmacht." ”

"You ......"

Fred couldn't help but feel angry, he just wanted to speak but was interrupted by Adele, who knew the way the two spoke, and said with a serious expression: "Uncle Morin, Colonel Fred, if you want to quarrel, please change places, this is the battlefield, I still have to command the troops and clean up the battlefield." ”

"Uh......"

The two who were about to talk about their life ideals had to look at each other helplessly and end the conversation, and then Su Jin also said: "Colonel Fred, has the casualty report of the troops been counted?" ”

Fred nodded: "Your Excellency General, the casualties have just been counted, after this period of fighting, the armored regiment has lost a total of eight No. 4 tanks, seven No. 2 tanks and four Bobcat reconnaissance vehicles, five Whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and Dongfeng self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, eighteen tankmen have been killed, twenty-six people have been lightly and seriously injured, and other casualties have not yet been counted." ”

Su Jin frowned slightly: "How could there be such a big casualty?" ”

Fred spread his hands helplessly: "The reason is very simple, because we don't have an air force, and there is very little we can do in the face of the threat of the air force." The reason why we are able to bite the bullet and be on a par with the Japanese today is that the Japanese did not expect that we have so many self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and when the Japanese are ready, I am afraid that in the future, there will be no more good things like today. ”

Su Jin didn't speak for a long time, and Fred was silent, the armored regiment could be said to have been formed by him and Adele, and they didn't feel good about the casualties being so big.

"Air Force ...... Air Force ......"

Su Jin was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled at Mo Lin: "Lieutenant Colonel Mo Lin, I don't know if you experienced the efficacy of the new medicine I said in our medical brigade just now?" ”

Hearing Su Jin suddenly mention this topic, a solemn look appeared on Mo Lin's face, "General Su, I will have to observe this issue for a few more days before I can reach a conclusion, but I have already sent a telegram to the office stationed in the injury, and I believe that it will not be long before the news from the Supreme Command will come back." However, if this drug is really as powerful as you say, I think the high command will definitely send someone to negotiate with you as soon as possible. ”

"I hope so, but I hope your government will send a higher-ranking official to come and talk to me." Su Jin also said solemnly, but Su Jin saw the fleeting embarrassment on Mo Lin's face.

Adele on the side couldn't help laughing, although this foreign girl has a straight temper, she is by no means stupid, the meaning of Su Jin's words just now is clearly vaguely indicating that Mo Lin's level is too low.

There was a rush of footsteps, and a colonel walked over excitedly and handed a combat knife to Su Jin with both hands, "Division, this is the command knife of the brigade commander of the little devil major general that we captured." ”

"Oh...... This is Ushijima's command knife! ”

Su Jin was very happy to take the command knife, and with a press of his thumb, he only heard a soft sound of "ding", and the command knife flashing with cold light appeared in front of everyone.

Su Jin waved his knife and cut at a small tree next to him, only to see the knife flash, and the small tree was cut off by the waist, without any obstacle in the middle, everyone couldn't help but admire.

Even Fred praised: "Although I don't dare to compliment the Japanese weapons, I have to admit that their level of sword forging is world-class." ”

Mo Lin shrugged his shoulders: "It's a pity that it's the era of hot weapons now, and most of their sabers, no matter how sharp they are, can only be used for decoration." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "This knife is a rare souvenir, I have to keep it well, and when I am old, I can proudly point to it and tell my grandson that this knife is a trophy captured by your grandfather when he resisted the invaders." ”

Looking at the command knife in Su Jin's hand, a trace of heat flashed in the eyes of several Germans, this is a general's saber, isn't this the kind of honor that a soldier desires most? Even Fred, who had always been calm, couldn't help but swallow his spit.

At this time, a jeep drove over, and a staff officer jumped out of the car and said to Su Jin: "Sir, the 74th Army has called, the 3rd Division and the 13th Division on the periphery of Jiujiang have begun to withdraw their troops one after another, and the siege of Jiujiang has been lifted. ”

"Good!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, these days they first fought hard with the 27th Division, and then with the 36th Brigade, paying such a high price, and now they have finally completed the task.

Fred asked: "Your Excellency, General, now that we have annihilated the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the purpose of mobilizing the Japanese Army has been accomplished, should we retreat?" ”

Su Jin nodded: "The retreat will naturally be withdrawn, but where to retreat is to be summed up carefully, and we will have a meeting to discuss it after we return to Yangxin County." ”

Two hours later, in a temporary conference room, Li Wei, Zhang Danian, and all the officers above the regimental level sat in a temporary conference room, and Su Jin stood in front of a map and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news that the third and thirteenth divisions of the Japanese army have left Jiujiang and are heading straight for our army, which proves that our army's goal has been achieved, the siege of Jiujiang has been solved, and now we are going home." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed excited smiles, after coming out for so long to fight these battles, the troops from the officers to the soldiers were already very tired, and now they are naturally very happy to hear that they can go back to Nanchang to rest.

It's just that Su Jin's words changed: "But everyone must also see that our way home is not smooth, now there are two divisions of devils behind us who are approaching us, and go straight to Wuhan that is the devil's lair, to the right is the hinterland of the devil, and to the left Xianning is the devil's sixth division, where do you say we should retreat?" ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, this way home is not easy to walk! (To be continued.) )
