The little devil who was awakened immediately judged the location and began to deploy troops to block the opening that Liao Fan and them had blown up with artillery fire. EΩΔ┡ Small'Δ said』. Half an hour later, the little devil commander was glad to have blocked the open gap in time. As soon as Liao Fan heard the gunshots from the north, he immediately asked the troops to disengage from the little devils and quickly retreated.

"Withdraw, withdraw, run." Liao Fan dragged a soldier who continued to charge forward and shouted, he had to follow behind the big army before the little devil reacted and break out, otherwise the five hundred of them would be blocked by the little devil again.

The commander of the little devil, hearing the sound of gunfire from the north, knew that he had been fooled, and hurriedly ordered the troops to come back to help.

"Cunning Shina people, contact the artillery brigade and cover their way with artillery fire." The commander of the little devil commanded.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, they are too close to our troops, and artillery coverage will injure our troops." A young man next to him reminded.

"Baga, order the troops to move forward and immediately catch up and destroy them." The commander of the little devil ordered the troops to pursue it all.

Before dawn, Liao Fan took the troops and ran out for more than 20 kilometers, at first they could still hear the gunshots, but then the gunshots became more and more rare, until they disappeared from the ears, they hid in a large woods, they were simply not breaking through, as if they were fleeing for their lives, the moment Liao Fan gave the order to retreat, he told his soldiers, don't care what happened behind him, just follow the people in front of him and run wildly, because the little devil's mobility is too strong, only in this way can he escape from the encirclement of the devil.

"Hahaha" looked at the soldiers behind him, all tired lying on the ground motionless, Liao Fan held on to a big tree and laughed.

"Sir, I feel like neither of my legs is my own." A soldier lay motionless on the ground.

"Haha, okay, let's take a little rest, eat something, we'll have to go in a minute, it's not safe here. There are also various platoon commanders who will count the number of people and equipment, and report back to me later. Liao Fan knew that it was too dark at night, and some soldiers must have run away, but for the sake of most people, he couldn't care so much.

"Sir, I don't want to move again in my life." A platoon leader pressed his own cramped thigh.

Seeing this situation, Liao Fan shouted: "Lizheng! ”

As soon as they heard the command, these staggering soldiers immediately got up from the ground, and although they stood in various positions, they all stood up.

"You two go to the forest line behind to guard, you two come with me, go to the front to investigate, and the rest of you rest in place and are not allowed to lie down." Liao Fan ordered a few soldiers at random and ordered, "Each platoon commander hurry up and count, give you half an hour, and when we come back, we will go out immediately." ”

"Baga, Kameda Osa, you have to take all the responsibility, they protrude the encirclement of our army from under your nose, and you have lost the face of the emperor." The major general of a little devil gave Kameda a slap in the face, "You should know how many troops we used for this army, and we didn't even chase after the retreating army. ”

"Your Excellency, I ask to lead my men in pursuit of them, and I will definitely cut off the head of their commander as a gift." Kameda bent over and lowered his head.

"Continue the pursuit? Do you still want to continue to embarrass the emperor? The little devil's major general looked at Kameda dissatisfied, "The military department ordered, let me remove your command and hand you over to the Judge Advocate General's Office, I ask them to let you stay and continue to lead the troops to fight, not to let a small branch of the army, once again delay the precious fighter." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Kameda kept his head down.

"In a month, our army will participate in the attack on Nanjing, you lead your troops as the vanguard, if you make an unforgivable mistake this time, I can only hand you over to the Judge Advocate General."

Kameda clenched his fists: "Hey! "As the vanguard of the attack on Nanjing, they were undoubtedly treated as cannon fodder, and even if they could survive the battlefield, he and his soldiers would not be reused, all because of the sudden appearance of a force.

Inside the high-level headquarters of the squadron.

"General Chen, our troops have all retreated." A staff officer handed the document to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng asked, "How is that unit?" Retreated, no. ”

"Report to General Chen, we don't have news of that unit yet, and we don't know what their situation is."

An officer hurriedly ran into the headquarters: "Report to General Chen, the forward observation post reports that the unit surrounded by little devils broke through overnight, and I don't know what the specific situation is." ”

"Okay, from which direction did they break through?" Chen Cheng walked to the map excitedly and looked at the map.

The officer pointed to the map: "At first it was heard in the south, heavy artillery fire, and half an hour later, the forward observation post reported that there was a dense burst of gunfire in the north-west direction. ”

"What a move," Chen Cheng couldn't help but praise as he looked at the map, "If you see this regiment leader, you must reward him well, and quickly send someone to contact them." ”

"General Chen, Chairman Chiang's phone number." A staff officer handed Chen Cheng the phone.

"Yes! The chairman of the committee will definitely be rewarded. Chen Cheng replied respectfully.

"By the way, if he comes back alive, bring him to me to meet him. As for the affairs of the troops, you are solely responsible. ”

"Yes, Chairman." Chen Cheng put down the phone, "Good boy, this matter has alarmed the chairman, it seems that you don't need my reward, the chairman will reward you with a high-ranking official." ”

Chen Cheng ordered: "Notify all troops, retreat." ”

"How's everyone's rest?" Liao Fan looked at the soldiers who were still rubbing their feet, "Is the situation of the troops counted?" ”

"Report to the commander, plus the mortar company, we still have four hundred and eighty-two people, the mortar company has ninety-six men, three mortars and two boxes of shells are missing, the infantry battalion has three hundred and eighty-six men, and there is plenty of ammunition, but we don't have enough food for a day." An officer reported to Liao Fan.

"Okay, let the brethren pack up their equipment and be out in five minutes." Liao Fan said.

Liao Fan led his troops through this woods and went out to Zhang Baling, but fortunately the little devils did not catch up, and at noon they saw a small village.

Scout reported: "Sir, there's a village ahead, are we going through the middle of it?" ”

Liao Fan picked up the telescope, this telescope was taken off the little devil, it is really easier to use than the old-fashioned telescope, and he can see clearly. Liao Fan noticed that the whole village was too quiet, Liao Fan observed through the binoculars that there were at least a hundred households in the whole village, and it was said that the whole village should be lively at noon, but there were only four or five courtyards with smoke.

"You can't pass through the village, there may be a reconnaissance team of little devils in the village." Liao Fan took a closer look with a telescope

"What should we do? Is it to bypass. Reconnaissance platoon elder Zhang asked.

"Bypass? That's not going to work, this is exactly the time when we replenish our supplies, there is no reason to bypass it, and order the troops to be ready for battle at any time. Liao Fan checked the gun in his hand, opened the safe, and loaded the bullet.
