"Why are there so many wounded?"

When Shao Fei and Gao Yi returned to the camp for the evening, they found more than 20 wounded in the forest, and four medics were treating their wounds and changing their dressings.

A wounded man stood up, looked at Shao Fei with a pleading gaze, and pleaded: "Chief Shao, our injuries are not serious, let us go with you to kill devils." ”

"yes, it's a lot of fun. I have never fought such a happy battle in my life, and I still kill little devils. ”

"Just let us stay, we're a little devil once, it's worth dying!"

"We want to avenge our dead brother! Just leave us alone. ”

“……”

The wounded shouted one after another, determined to stay and fight the devil to the death. Shao Fei looked at their pleading gaze and didn't know what to do. From all aspects, Shao Fei was unwilling to keep them.

Gao Yi didn't understand Shao Fei's intentions, and said proudly: "See, this is my soldier, the soldier of Yunnan!" ”

Shao Fei was very helpless, pulled Gao Yi to a place where no one was, and said seriously: "They must not stay, they must go." ”

Gao Yi didn't understand and asked, "Why?" They were slightly wounded, but did not affect the battle. Brother, you know it's demoralizing? ”

Shao Fei patiently explained: "If it is a conventional battle or positional warfare, it is worth expressing if you are slightly injured and not in the line of fire. We must be highly mobile and spread on all sides, and we must not carry the wounded. ”

"You think they're a burden to you?"

"I didn't mean that, you know! In this big place, tens of thousands of troops have gathered. Once we are surrounded, what will happen to these wounded people? ”

Gao Yi didn't say a word. After a big victory during the day, and now the morale is booming, if Shao Fei does this, it will hurt the morale and the self-esteem of the soldiers too much.

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I really like the Dian army, because most of them are Yi and can run." The military skills of a soldier are better than the word 'run', and the troops that can run are very resilient, and they can't be beaten or dragged across. If one part loses this trait, then the entire team will be affected. The reason why we were able to successfully ambush the enemy today was because we ran fast and bought time to set up an ambush. ”

"Alright, don't talk about it." Gao Yi waved his hand and said, "You only know that the Yunnan soldiers run fast, but you don't know how strong the Yunnan soldiers' self-esteem is." If you do that, they can kill themselves! ”

After Gao Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left, and his words were not alarmist.

When the Yunnan army went out of Yunnan to resist the Japanese, because they were in a hurry to go out, they did not prepare winter clothes. General Lu Han repeatedly asked the theater to distribute cold materials, but the Nationalist Government and the theater commander Li Zongren ignored them, and 40,000 soldiers spent every night in the cold winter. Sleeping on the streets, like beggars, some soldiers felt humiliated, and some committed suicide. Also, in the eight-year War of Resistance, the Dian army was the only army that did not have prisoners.

(PS: Their experience is somewhat similar to that of the Sichuan army.) But the Sichuan army was smart and directly robbed the people of Shanxi, and also directly robbed Yan Xishan's arsenal. No wonder Yan Laoxi didn't want the Sichuan army to die, so he came to the fifth war zone. But this matter cannot be blamed on the Sichuan army, only on the government and factions. None of the three things that Lao Jiang promised Liu Xiang were fulfilled, which was completely fraudulent and should be punished by law. ）

The next day's fighting was still fierce. The battle seemed to be in a stalemate, but the Japanese army thought it was the end of the crossbow. Although the 10th and 5th Army Corps of the Japanese Army were elite armored units, they had been severely damaged by the first phase of the Battle of Xuzhou, and there was a shortage of troops, and now they are asking for reinforcements in the direction of Jinan. The Dian army, on the contrary, was well-armed, well-equipped, and had high morale.

Early in the morning, Shao Fei began to arrange today's task: "Today's task is to cut off the lifeline of the Japanese army. The war is in a stalemate, but the Japanese army is a hollow turnip, as long as it survives these two days, the Japanese army will inevitably be defeated. The Japanese army uses brigades as combat units, and supplies are delivered once a day. ”

The platoon commander interjected excitedly: "Chief Shao, you just give the order directly, and you can fight as much as you say." After yesterday's battle, we all obeyed, and our brother's life is yours. ”

After hearing this, Shao Fei smiled and said, "Your life is your own, Jin Gui." I don't like to hear anything like killing a few devils, Lao Tzu is worth it, or something like that. I'll give the order now: Knife, you continue yesterday's mission and give me an eye on every move of the Japanese army. ”

Xiaodao said: "Yes! ”

Shao Fei opened the map and said: "There are several important roads here, and the Japanese army will definitely take the short and spacious roads." To the east of Puqiao in the northwest is the defense line of the 184th Division, scattered with your special combat team in charge"

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”

Shao Fei then deployed the order: "The spy company is divided into two, and Company Commander Gao Yi and I each lead a team. Gao Yi was in charge of the middle road, the road east of the Five Saints Church of the 183rd Division. I was in charge of the road east of the 182nd Division in the southwest of Flint Port. The Japanese transport team usually has a small team responsible for transportation, and we are waiting for work, and the ambush force should be enough. You only have one thing to remember: after the battle, you are not allowed to clean up the battlefield, just blow up the supplies and withdraw. ”

Gao Yi knew in his heart that Shao Fei was taking care of himself by deploying like this. After yesterday's battle, the Japanese troops near the Five Saints Church had only one brigade, more than a thousand people. Now the strategic focus is on the flint port, where more than 3,000 Japanese troops are gathered, and a single round of deployment occupies a large area.

The flint port is located in the south of Yuwang Mountain, which is only three kilometers, and it is five kilometers away from the main force of the rear division.

Gao Yi suddenly proposed: "I will take the second platoon and the lightly wounded." Shao Fei, the assault platoon belongs to you. ”

Shao Fei didn't think much about it, and directly objected: "No, the troops must be divided equally." ”

Gao Yi was a little excited. In Gao Yi's eyes, Shao Fei has always been his little brother, how can a little brother take care of his eldest brother.

Gao Yi's self-esteem was hit, so he said to Shao Fei: "Do you call it an equal division of combat power!?" Everyone knows that the focus of the battle now is on Huoshi Port, where a bloody battle is about to be even more tragic than Xingjialou! You should allocate forces according to the strength of the Japanese army, not your personal heroism. ”

Shao Fei looked at Gao Yi, he didn't expect to be accused by him in public, is his self-esteem so strong? Now Gao Yi has not figured out that military strength is not equal to combat power. There is no heroism in himself, and it is completely distributed according to objective factors.

The strength of the army is average, but the combat power is not. The combat effectiveness of the troops is not calculated by the strength of the troops, there is also the factor of the ability of the commander. Gao Yi first entered the anti-Japanese battlefield, and his combat experience could not be compared with himself.

However, Gao Yi is the company commander of this unit, and if Shao Fei says the commander's factor, then Gao Yi's self-esteem will be hit again. In the end, Shao Fei still made a compromise and deployed his troops according to Gao Yi's plan.

After the task was deployed, Xiaodao felt unfair for Shao Fei, and when no one was around, he said to Shao Fei: "Squad leader, why didn't you say it just now?" Strength does not represent combat strength. ”

Shao Fei smiled helplessly: "Boring self-esteem." ”

Gao Yi fought with more than 20 lightly wounded soldiers, Shao Fei was really relieved, and instructed Xiaodao: "You have transferred a squad, you must have strong combat effectiveness, operate in the middle lane, and reinforce Gao Yi at any time." ”

Now that the battle situation has reached the cut-off point, as long as the 182nd Division holds the flint port, the 60th Army can take advantage of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements to launch a large-scale counterattack. First occupy more than a dozen villages around Yuwang Mountain, and then take Yuwang Mountain in one fell swoop. Finally, with Yuwang Mountain as the central point, it was held to the death to gain valuable time for the safe retreat of the 400,000 national troops in Xuzhou.
