Ma Wanzhong began to wonder if his initial thinking was to fight and choose to stick to Jingcheng, then there were very few troops in his hands that could be mobilized, and other troops could only hold on, so that all their troops were an opportunity to counterattack, so that the Japanese army had the initiative on the battlefield.

The Japanese army grasped the initiative on the battlefield and fought as much as they wanted, on the contrary, Ma Wanzhong said that it didn't matter if he said on the battlefield, he would transfer his troops wherever the Japanese army fought, so they were still tired of coping, and they couldn't seize any opportunity to counterattack at all.

Ma Wanzhong finally seemed to have an epiphany suddenly, and he only grasped his own idea. Moreover, their troops have always been good at mobile operations within a certain range, but fighting positional warfare and a war of attrition.

"Summoning all regiment commanders and battalion commanders to the headquarters for a meeting!" Ma Wanzhong seemed to have thought of something.

All the battalion commanders and regiment commanders in the headquarters had arrived, and Ma Wanzhong looked at his tired expressions, knowing that everyone was holding on now. These officers are the elite of his Ma Wanzhong division, and they are also the people who have been fighting with Ma Wanzhong, maybe they will not obey Liao Fan's orders, but they will definitely obey Ma Wanzhong's orders.

"Sit!"

Ma Wanzhong gave an order, and all the officers sat neatly on the stool, just like a person, this is what Ma Wanzhong learned from Shen Zhengwen, no matter when and where, as long as they hear the order, everyone acts in unison, whether it is an officer or a soldier.

Ma Wanzhong, who had a serious face, looked at his officers and felt very calm, as if he had never been so calm: "You all know what happened on the battlefield, and even some of you officers know better than me, everyone has worked hard at this stage!" ”

"I know you are very hard, and I also know that the soldiers are very tired, but the enemy is current, this is what our soldiers should do, at this time, we can't do it, can we use the corpses of ordinary people to block the iron hooves of the Japanese army?"

There was silence in the headquarters, and everyone listened to Ma Wanzhong's words with bated breath, they were all officers who had fought for a long time, and their division commander called them here today not to boost their morale, they would definitely give orders.

"Commander Liu, after receiving the order, start to retreat to the west of the Jingcheng mining area, and hold it for me, even if you fight to the last soldier and lose your position in the end, you Lao Liu don't have to come back!"

Ma Wanzhong began to give orders one after another, and his eyes began to gradually moisten, because after this battle, half of the officers in this battle are likely to be never seen again, and their Ma Wanzhong division is likely to be broken again, but they have no choice but to fight to the death.

All the officers just listened to Ma Wanzhong's order quietly, and did not ask a word, and now they only need to carry out the order, and do not need to express any opinions.

"Commander Liu, the equipment personnel in the Jingcheng mining area tried every means to transfer me out within half an hour before you retreated, and if you can't leave, transport me into the mine, blow up the hole, and we will dig it out after this battle!"

The equipment in the Jingcheng mining area is more valuable than theirs, and there is one less part, and they have no place to replenish it. So it has to be protected.

"Let's all go back and get ready, I'm waiting for you to triumph!" As the last order was arranged, Ma Wanzhong did not delay in the slightest.

The command instantly fell silent, Ma Wanzhong slowly sat down in his chair, holding his forehead with his hand, his chest heaving, obviously if there was a better way, he would not choose to do this.

"Division Commander, what about Division Commander Hu's troops?" A staff officer walked up to Ma Wanzhong's side and reminded in a whisper that now all the troops in their division had received orders, and only Hu Guoshan's division, which had come to support, did not have any orders.

"Tell Deputy Division Commander Zhao and let them be reserves! When we can't stand it anymore, let them go again! ”

Ma Wanzhong had already made the final decision, if he wanted to win this battle, he had to surprise his troops, instead of pressing all his forces to the front line, which would only lead to another fierce battle, which would be even more unfavorable to their troops.

Zhao Caizhu heard that the troops on the front line were moving, and their order was indeed a reserve, which made him unhappy, they came to support well, but they couldn't be a cold bench, this was not the style of their division.

"No, I'll go talk to Master Ma!"

Zhao Caizhu rushed into Ma Wanzhong's headquarters angrily, he saw Ma Wanzhong lying on the table with his eyes closed, and directly threw the horse whip in his hand on the table.

Ma Wanzhong, who heard the movement, raised his head and looked at Zhao Caizhu, only to see that Zhao Caizhu's face was not happy, and he knew what Zhao Caizhu meant by coming here, so he could only accompany him with a smile: "Deputy Division Commander Zhao, who made you angry, tell me, I will directly reward him with more than a dozen military sticks." ”

"Master Ma, aren't you authentic! Bullying my back, it will not be good for your reputation to spread it in the future! Zhao Caizhu took care of himself and found a chair to sit down, his military rank and position are lower than Ma Wanzhong, but although Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan are now cooperating, they have been competing in the new 33rd Army, not that he does not respect Ma Wanzhong, but this kind of support was looked down upon, so that he was unhappy in his heart, if he let Hu Guoshan know after he went back, it is estimated that he will not have good fruit to eat.

"Hey, hey, Deputy Master Zhao, where do you say, I, Ma Wanzhong, never bully my brothers!"

"This is what Master Ma said, you all heard it!" Zhao Caizhu pointed to the guards beside him, which means that you have written down what Ma Wanzhong said word for word, in case you go to Liao Fan's side to fight a lawsuit one day, they will have evidence, "Since Master Ma is not bullying us, then why is our division a reserve?" ”

"Come on, come on, Deputy Division Commander Zhao, you drink saliva first and listen to me explain to you slowly!"

After Zhao Caizhu calmed down, Ma Wanzhong told Zhao Caizhu his thoughts.

"Master Ma means we're going to launch a counterattack?"

"Yes!"

"But did Division Commander Ma ever think that once something went wrong, that is, Commander Liu's regiment could not hold it, the Japanese army could even drive straight into Taihang Mountain?" Zhao Caizhu didn't expect Ma Wanzhong to be so bold, this is holding their entire station to block, and they are gambling with a regiment, in case the gamble is lost, not only the lives of these soldiers, they will never have a chance to make a comeback.

Ma Wanzhong smiled lightly, this was not a confident smile, but a bitter smile, because until now only Zhao Caizhu raised this question, he was betting on the safety of the entire Taihang Mountain.

Suddenly, Zhao Caizhu felt that he couldn't sit still, he had experienced a lot of battles large and small, but this time, he was a little nervous and speechless, he was too scared, the new 33rd Army was their common home, not to mention the large Japanese army, that is, there was a wing of soldiers who now rushed into Taihang Mountain, and the result was a massacre, but there were not many troops in the station, and those people were unarmed, powerless in front of the heavily armed Japanese army, how could they resist.

"Did you tell Command?"

Zhao Caizhu asked, they can't afford to bear such a big responsibility, and in this case, they have to obey the orders of the headquarters.

"Brother Fan is in a coma, Chief of Staff Li took the troops to Datong, only Brother Liao is left in the headquarters, and he doesn't have many troops in his hands, I told them that they are undoubtedly worried in vain!"

The two of them didn't know the news that Liao Fan had woken up, but even if Liao Fan woke up, they couldn't adapt Ma Wanzhong's decision, because now the troops were already starting to move, and there was no turning back.

"We can't be prepared, transfer us to the Jingcheng mining area, and we will help Commander Liu defend the position!"

Ma Wanzhong shook his head gently: "If you really want to help me, then wait for the order, once the Japanese army is alone, you still need to withstand the pressure of the Japanese army from all sides, and I have no troops in my hands to arrange!" ”

"Where?"

"Here, I have already arranged other directions, once the plan is successful, the greatest pressure at that time will not be to the west of the Jingcheng mining area, but to the east of the Jingcheng mining area!"

"Got it!" Zhao Caizhu did not delay in the slightest, he knew that this time it was really a gamble, if he didn't work hard, Taihang Mountain would be gone.

The troops were urgently moved, and the scouts of the little devils were of course not idle, and reported the movements of the troops in various parts of the New 33rd Army to their headquarters, and the commander of the little devils quietly analyzed the situation, and he wanted to know what the Chinese army was going to do.

"What happened, are they going to retreat?"

The commander of the little devil also has a headache, since he landed in China with his troops, he has not encountered such a difficult army, these fighters have strong individual combat ability, and they are stronger in combat when combined, especially the cooperation between soldiers, as if they were on the battlefield alone.

After fighting for so many days, although the Japanese army made a great breakthrough, the casualties of their troops were no less than those of Ma Wanzhong's division. In particular, the Chinese army has a heavy firepower deployment comparable to theirs, and on the Chinese battlefield, their soldiers are accustomed to China's light weapons, and there is no need to worry about the heavy weapons of the Chinese army. However, the caliber of the cannons possessed by the New 33rd Army was larger than the other, and some of them were larger than the caliber of the artillery they used.

A shell exploded and exploded, and their fighters were covered by such artillery fire, and it only took a dozen seconds to judge the ability. On the other hand, the Chinese soldiers, on the other hand, seem to have adapted to such artillery, and no matter how much they bomb, those who are not afraid of death still rush at them at the risk of being crushed to pieces.

In the face of such an opponent, the commander of the little devil felt that he could not be too careful, if it was really a trap deliberately set by the Chinese army, their battle might have ended with his order to pursue.

Just as the commander of the little devil was thinking in the headquarters, a phone call came into his headquarters, and the piercing ringing of the phone made him feel bad.
