In the headquarters of the Seventh Independent Brigade, a medical soldier was busy bandaging Zhao Jinglin's wounds, and after a fierce battle, Zhao Jinglin was also painted, and he was injured in many places, the only fortunate thing was that the injuries were not serious.

Zhu Yaohui sat on the chair next to him, smoked silently, and said with a sad face: "The positions outside the city have all been lost, and the city wall fortifications are our last line of defense, once the little devil breaks through the city wall, ......

Zhu Yaohui stopped here and didn't continue, but everyone understood the consequences once the devil attacked the city.

"Ah~!" Zhao Jinglin couldn't help frowning and screamed softly, with a painful expression on his face.

The medic hurriedly said, "I'm sorry regiment commander, you can bear with me!" ”

"It's okay, you go ahead!" Zhao Jinglin said casually, slowly raised his head, looked at Zhu Yaohui next to him, and asked with a smile: "Yaohui, do you hate me very much now, hate me for dragging you into the water." ”

Zhu Yaohui sighed softly and said, "Sometimes I really want to kill you, but ......"

"But what?" Zhao Jinglin hurriedly asked.

Zhu Yaohui said with a smile: "But I don't hate you now, but I am very grateful to you." ”

"Why?" Zhao Jinglin asked puzzled.

Zhu Yaohui said with a smile: "Because, since the first battle with the little devil, I suddenly found that killing devils is so cool!" ”

"Haha~!" Zhao Jinglin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

Zhu Yaohui also laughed, and said while laughing: "Actually, I have long seen these little devils unpleasant, we used to give them our lives, but they have never treated us as human beings, in their eyes we are not even as good as dogs." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yaohui couldn't help but be angry in his heart, clenched his fists hard, and said with a serious face: "It was not my intention to surrender to be a traitor, it was all forced by Sun Yanlin's bastard, the army was in his hands, he surrendered and became a traitor, and we can only follow him to be a traitor." ”

"Hey~!" Zhao Jinglin sighed helplessly, and seemed to remember the sad past before, but Zhao Jinglin really didn't want to think about these things, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't mention this." ”

Zhao Jinglin was silent for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Although the position outside the city has been lost, we still have the city wall fortifications, and there are about two thousand brothers in the city, and we can still fight with the little devils." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yaohui nodded and said: "Before the devil attacked the east gate, the position outside the city was lost, and the little devil tried to take the opportunity to break the city, and the situation was very critical at that time. However, at this moment, a force suddenly attacked the rear camp of the devils. ”

"And this?" Zhao Jinglin frowned and said, "It must have been done by the martial arts team." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yaohui nodded and said: "The devil can only stop the attack and return to the defensive camp, but he was attacked head-on by the martial arts team and suffered heavy losses. ”

"And what about later? Why didn't you take the martial arts team into the city? Zhao Jinglin hurriedly asked.

Zhu Yaohui sighed helplessly and said: "The defenders of Dongcheng were in a mess at that time, and they were afraid of losing the city fortifications, so they didn't dare to fight back at all. If we had attacked decisively at that time, we would definitely be able to annihilate the little devils in the east of the city in one fell swoop, and we would also be able to receive the military engineering team into the city, so that we would have more reinforcements. ”

Zhao Jinglin waved his hand and said, "What's the point of saying this now, but the martial arts team is indeed righteous enough, and has risked their lives twice to help us." ”

Zhu Yaohui nodded and asked, "Are all the troops of the Eighth Route Army like this?" ”

Zhao Jinglin nodded and said, "According to my understanding, this is the case. ”

Zhu Yaohui said with emotion: "It seems that the rise of the Eighth Route Army is not accidental. ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled and asked, "Are you particularly grateful to me now for taking you to the Eighth Route Army?" ”

Zhu Yaohui said with a smile: "I want to be a living Eight Paths, not a dead Eight Paths, if you can take me out of here alive, I will really be grateful to you." ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled and said, "It's not the last moment yet, how do you know that we will definitely lose!" ”

"Well said! We're not going to give up until the last minute. Zhu Yaohui said with a firm face.

……

At this time, Liu Hong and the military engineering team had already evacuated the battlefield, and the soldiers were resting on a threshing floor.

Zhao Lei said with some disappointment: "I didn't expect the little devil to learn this time, but he didn't catch up." ”

Zhou Wenxuan hung his head and said: "The most unlucky one is me, I watched the play for a night, and in the end I didn't even see the face of a devil." ”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said: "The little devils have just been fooled, how can they be fooled again, unless their brains are in water." ”

"So what do we do now?" Bai Ling frowned and asked, "I don't think the troops in the city will last long." ”

Liu Hong frowned and said with a worried face: "I didn't expect the battle to be so fierce, it seems that the little devils are also being forced to be anxious, to be honest, they have been able to hold on to it until now, which is quite good." ”

Liu Hong paused, and then continued: "They are so desperate, we can't stand idly by, I estimate that the little devil will launch the final general attack tomorrow, let's see the situation first!" Again, we're doing our best to help them. ”

Zhou Wenxuan frowned and asked, "Captain, do you think we can win this battle?" ”

Liu Hong frowned and said, "This is really inaccurate. ”

At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army ran over quickly and said softly: "Report to the captain, the scouts have just sent information that the little devil has captured the position outside the city and has formed a siege on all sides, but under the stubborn resistance of the defenders in the city, the devil's attack has been repulsed, and the devil has temporarily stopped attacking." ”

"Got it!" Liu Hong nodded his head, turned to the soldiers around him and said, "Did you hear it, the decisive battle is tomorrow, and victory or defeat is here." ”

Liu Hong pondered for a while, then turned to a soldier next to him and ordered, "Go and send a telegram to the headquarters and report the situation here to the headquarters truthfully." ”

"Yes!" The warrior hurriedly answered, got up and left.

Bai Ling looked at Liu Hong's sad appearance, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you usually very powerful?" Is there no recruitment this time? ”

Liu Hong said with a wry smile: "The battle in front of me is really not easy to fight, if it is not good, not only will the Seventh Independent Brigade be finished, but I am afraid that even we will have to get in, let me think about it." ”

After a while, a soldier with a telegram in his hand hurriedly ran over and said, "Captain, the headquarters calls back." As he spoke, he handed over the telegram.
