Chapter 763: Fight with Hope
"Don't shoot, keep the muzzle down!"
The commander of the devil in the front position immediately recognized Liu Mengtong and ordered his soldiers to put their guns down, so as not to accidentally injure Liu Sheng's woman.
Under the protection of the two devil soldiers, Liu Mengtong came to the command camp of Yanagi Yinghiko. Yanagi was overjoyed when he saw it, and told the people around him to leave the headquarters temporarily.
"You know what? I'm worried about you. ”
Liu Sheng's concerned gaze and affectionate words did not touch Liu Mengtong. Compared with these, everything he watched in the position brought him a greater shock, and the cruelty in front of him had already completely submerged the love in his heart.
Liu Mengtong kept her head down and was silent, feeling extremely bitter in her heart. Shao Fei told herself to bring it, she didn't know whether to tell Liu Sheng or not, she knew that Shao Fei was fighting psychological warfare, and that sentence was used to confuse Liu Sheng's judgment.
Liu Sheng gave up his pride, put his hands on Liu Mengtong's shoulders, and asked again with concern: "Mengtong, are you okay, I'm worried about you like this, you know?" ”
Liu Mengtong looked at Liu Sheng with pleading eyes and said, "Let's go back to Xuzhou, no, can we go back to Shanxi?" ”
Liu Sheng let go of his hand and bowed his head to show helplessness: "I promise you, but I have to be okay until tomorrow morning?" ”
"Do you really want Shao Fei to die? Inoue has blocked their retreat, and the people on the mountain are my compatriots! ”
Liu Mengtong's excitement made Liu Sheng very surprised, feeling that she was different from before. In the past, she didn't care about these things at all, but this time she really saw the cruel reality.
The bloody corpse seemed to be placed in front of Liu Mengtong. Those who died were so young that no one knew what they were called, but their bones were buried elsewhere. They also have parents, and these poor parents will lose their sons forever.
Yanagi explained: "I don't have the right to command Inoue, you know. I just want to ...... with Shao Fei."
"Enough ~ enough ~ Yagyu-kun ......"
Liu Mengtong took two steps back with tears in her eyes, her spirit seemed to be about to collapse, and she said sadly: "Don't fight, don't fight." You and Shao Fei are the same people, just use your brains, and hundreds of people will die in front of you, this is too cruel, I can't stand it! ”
Liu Sheng was speechless, if he continued, Liu Mengtong might be completely defeated.
Liu Mengtong cried and said, "Shao Fei asked me to tell you that he will lead the troops to break through to the north." I know he's swaying your judgment and making you make the wrong choice, but I said it anyway. Do you know how much pain I have? I regret it, I regret everything I did before! ”
Yanagi Yingyan hugged Liu Mengtong hard and whispered in her ear: "Okay, don't say it, I'll let everything end." ”
Zhang Chong also got the news about the operation of the Inoue brigade, but he couldn't do anything about it. Inoue did not launch an offensive against the Dian army, but took a defensive posture and held all the key roads. The 184th Division was powerless in battle, and it was very difficult to defend, let alone rescue Shao Fei.
And the 182nd Division, not to mention that An Enbo has always had a prejudice against himself, the 182nd Division is almost all recruits, and he can't even use weapons, let alone attack the Japanese army.
The chief of staff asked, "Is it really impossible to save?" ”
Zhang Chong shook his head and said, "A brigade of the Japanese army is in a defensive posture, not to mention our existing strength, even a reorganized division may not be able to save it." The Japanese really wanted to kill Shao Fei this time. From the beginning of the Battle of Taiyuan, they have always been a major problem for the Japanese army. ”
"But we have to do something, right? Otherwise, how can it be right to start Shao Fei. ”
The chief of staff is a communist, and he definitely doesn't want Shao Fei to die here like this, so that the Eighth Route Army will lose such an excellent commander.
Zhang Chong looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, so he ordered: "Order the troops that can fight, strengthen the defense of the second line of defense, and cover the retreat of the division headquarters." The telegram ordered Shao Fei to seek an opportunity to evacuate the position. ”
That's all Zhang Chong can do now. He believed that Shao Fei would be able to hold out until 4 o'clock, but by that time there would be insufficient troops, and it would be difficult to withdraw from the position.
At the mountain headquarters, Shao Fei was not thinking about how to destroy the enemy, but how to evacuate. His belief was to stay alive and let his troops fight with hope, not to be heroes in despair.
And at this moment, he received an order from Zhang Chong to retreat.
"Report, the division headquarters called, ordering your department to find an opportunity to evacuate. The west road has been blocked, and it is possible to evacuate from the south, and the third battalion of the 1088th Regiment is near Turtle Mountain to meet your troops. ”
"Got it."
To the south, Shao Fei just chuckled and ordered: "Call back to the division headquarters, and the first battalion will be evacuated from the north." The telegram ordered the Falcon to quickly head north to meet the evacuation of the large force. ”
After finishing the incident, Shao Fei ordered all the troops to gather and prepare to evacuate.
This time in the contest with Yanagi, on the surface, Yanagi was slightly better. But Shao Fei didn't care about this, he wouldn't use his soldiers' lives as bargaining chips in order to be angry and defeat Liu Sheng. A commander should value his own life as a soldier, and more importantly, he should accommodate everything, including failures and personal honor.
It is a sin that fearless battles, meaningless contests, lead to a lot of sacrifices. In this regard, Shao Fei has already defeated Liu Sheng. From the starting point, Liu Sheng is so small in front of Shao Fei.
(PS: Attacking and destroying does not mean courage; Retreat does not mean cowardice. Just like the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese were nominally the victorious side, but they fell into a huge strategic trap. )
The troops quickly rallied to their positions, the morale of the fighters was a little low, and a shadow of defeat and despair hung over the position.
Shao Fei stood on a high place and said loudly: "I received an order from the division headquarters, we are going to withdraw." If I could, I could take you to destroy the Japanese army in front; If I could, I could take you back the lost ground; If I could, I would be able to defeat the commander on the other side! I tell you, I can! But I can't. ”
Shao Fei looked at the warriors below with excitement, and then said: "I hope everyone lives, I hope everyone fights with hope, and don't be heroes in despair!" ”
Shao Fei's words gave the soldiers hope. In fact, everyone knows that they have been surrounded by enemies several times their size, and they have long been ready to live and die with their positions.
Who wants to die? This is the most basic human nature. No soldier is really willing to shout that he will die with the devil, if killing one is enough, killing two to earn one. Rhetoric is only used to boost morale in despair.
At this time, Shang Bin stepped forward and asked, "We are already surrounded by groups, is there really a breakthrough?" ”
"Yes! You must have absolute trust in your commander and absolute obedience to his orders. ”
Now Shao Fei's eyes are extremely firm. He must be firm and confident, so that the soldier will have confidence and hope.
Immediately, Shao Fei launched a plan to retreat.
Before the Japanese army could launch the next wave of attack, a large amount of white smoke billowed from the hilltop position, enveloping the entire hill. This thick white smoke made the devils in front of him dare not attack rashly, and at the same time, this white smoke seemed to tell Yanagi that we were going to retreat.
"The enemy is preparing to retreat."
At the Yagyu headquarters, the officers were also aware of this, but now they were not sure in which direction the enemy was breaking through.
A large number of troops had already been occupied on the position, and it was difficult for the troops of the peripheral troops to block Shao Fei's breakthrough. Now only by making the right judgment, launching an interception, and then the troops on the hill launching a pursuit, can a battalion be completely wiped out.
A devil officer said: "It is impossible for them to retreat to the west, which has been blocked by Murayama, and now there is only the south and the north. The subordinates believed that it was more likely to be to the south, and that there were still enemy troops operating in that area. ”
But Liu Sheng has already entered a dead circle of judgment, just because Shao Fei told Liu Mengtong to convey that he would evacuate from the north.
A layer of circulation: In the opinion of ordinary people, Shao Fei lied that he was in the north, but in fact he was in the south.
The second layer of the cycle: Shao Fei tells the north, so that the general thought that he is going south, but in fact he is really in the north. Negate the first layer of the cycle.
Three-layer cycle: Shao Fei understands himself as well as he understands him. The negative is positive, and the wise man thinks that he is going to the north, but in fact he is still in the south.
…………
No matter how Yanagi thinks, he can't find that Nash equilibrium point. Because the other party is Shao Fei, he will think of the fourth, fifth, or even more layers.
"Order the eastern forces to move south and interdict; ordered the troops on the hill to stand by and be ready to pursue at any time; Troops to the north were ordered to maintain a high alert posture. ”
Yanagi could only think of the third layer. When dealing with smart people, sometimes the ideas of ordinary people are more effective.
And in the upper position, smoke filled. The troops are ready, Shao Fei must break through the encirclement as quickly as possible, and must not give Liu Sheng time to react and rearrange the encirclement.
