After defending the position for a day and leaving more than two hundred lives, he gave up like this, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Gao Quan, the military commander, felt uncomfortable. However, if you are uncomfortable, you have to do it! The county town has been abandoned, and if this position is defended, there will be no second way except for the annihilation of the whole army, and he will not expect other troops to rescue his battalion.

Just because there is nothing wrong with this position guarded by the first battalion does not mean that there is nothing wrong with other positions. On the other side of the county, the devil defeated another defender battalion, Li Jintian led the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters and the devil to do it for a while, and was beaten badly by the devil who had the advantage of weapons and numbers, not only the troops were severely damaged, but even Li Jintian himself was seriously injured, if it were not for the critical moment, the defenders of the peripheral positions heard the news and came to support, Li Jintian probably would not be able to get out. In this way, Li Jintian, who was shot in the abdomen, was carried out of the county seat. The regiment commander who rescued Brigade Commander Li from the line of fire was about to retreat to Zhangjiakou with Li Jintian on his shoulder, and Brigade Commander Li sent a herald on a stretcher to inform Gao Quan to retreat. Li Jintian was not worried about Gao Quan, a fierce general, and couldn't bear to see him surrounded by the Japanese army.

Hearing that the situation turned out to be like this, Gao Quan shook his head and sighed, and the trace of complaint he had just had dissipated. This was the case in the early days of the War of Resistance, our army was not an opponent of the devils at all, and there was no good solution except to preserve our strength and strive to fight the devils to the end.

The retreat is only temporary, and we will fight back in the future! Gao Quan not only wanted to comfort himself in his heart, but also did the ideological work of the company commanders below. These company commanders are mainly Wang Dazhu, and as for the others, they don't have the confidence to question the orders of the camp lord for the time being. Fortunately, Comrade Wang Dazhu's ideological work was relatively easy to do, and Gao Quan only talked to him for two minutes about the big truth, and Company Commander Wang immediately went to assemble the troops. For Gao Quan, Wang Dazhu admires it from the bottom of his heart, this young boss, not only saved his life several times, but also has knowledge, and can often tell the truth that Wang Dazhu has never heard of, people can also write, can count, for learned people, Wang Dazhu has always admired the most, so, after Gao Quan told him the truth of the protracted war for two minutes, Wang Dazhu was completely convinced.

After repelling another round of attacks by the devils, the three companies took turns to cover, retreated while fighting, withdrew from the line of fire, walked around the city, and rushed directly to Zhangjiakou.

In Zhangjiakou, tens of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops had already set up the battlefield at this time. The devil Chahar sent his corps to launch a fierce attack on the 143rd Division of Liu Ruming, the defender of Zhangjiakou, under the cover of heavy artillery from above. Liu Ruming's two brigades were stationed in Xuanhua, Huailai and other places, and now they have all shrunk to the outskirts of Zhangjiakou. The Devil's Chahar Corps had nearly 20,000 men, and the 143rd Division resisted to the death with the help of favorable terrain. At the critical juncture, General Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Group Army, who was fighting with the devils at Nankou, drew out the 200th Brigade and the 211th Brigade to rush to Zhangjiakou.

After withdrawing from the position, Gao Quan counted his subordinates and found that the total number of lightly wounded in the whole battalion was less than 300 people, and this defensive battle could be described as extremely tragic.

Gao Quan was depressed in his heart, and only thought that after going to Zhangjiakou, he would let out this evil breath on the devil. The scouts came to report that devils had been found in the village in front, numbering more than a hundred people, and it seemed to be a squadron with dissatisfied. Gao Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and when he was in a bad mood, he just happened to have a punching bag! This devil really understands his needs. Lord Camp immediately ordered the troops to form an attack formation and launch a fierce attack on the big willow village in front with all their strength, trying to completely annihilate the hundreds of devils.

Liu Qi is now the reconnaissance squad leader of a battalion reconnaissance company, with seven scouts under him. Reconnaissance company, as the name suggests, is to reconnoiter the enemy around the troops, and when the troops are marching, they reconnoiter the situation around the troops and in front of them. Liu Qi is the leader of the scout team.

Liu Qi's task was to take his squad to reconnoiter in front of the troops, and he was the top soldier of the whole battalion. For this work, Liu Qi is not only proud in his heart, but he is nervous, these few people are related to the lives of hundreds of people in the battalion, if there is no understanding of the enemy, it will really kill people. Fortunately, Liu Qi is shrewd and very shrewd, otherwise Qian Sixi would not have sent him to such a key position.

When the reconnaissance squad set off earlier than the large troops, the marching sequence was at the front of the team, and the company behind the squad always maintained a distance of 1,000 meters, if the enemy situation was found, this distance, sprint and run, you can notify the large troops behind of the situation within five minutes, and the reconnaissance squad encounters an accident, and the rear elite squad can also catch up and support in the shortest possible time.

The village in front is Big Willow Village. Liu Qi has been here before, the year before last, when he was still in the city, someone told him that the woman had a nice name called Guizhi, which was from Daliushu Village, he met the girl, a big girl who looked very smart, but then he was taken in by Qian Sixi and became a secret agent of the army, and this matter has been put on hold. In the middle, Gui Zhi also asked someone to ask about his situation. Some time ago, he planned to wait a few days to mention it to the company commander, so that he could go to the big willow tree and explain the matter to the girl, and now the army is going to fight with the Japanese, so he may be given his life at any time, but he can't delay the girl's house.

He happened to be passing by here today, so he planned to take care of both public and private affairs, go to the village to find Gui Zhi and talk about it, and by the way, persuade Gui Zhi's family to leave quickly. This is not a good place, the soldiers are in danger, and the devils may come over at any time, so they have to move quickly.

Liu Qi was in the front, and the seven brothers behind him were in a team of three, divided into two teams to move forward on both sides, and the last person dragged back ten feet, which was also so that after the person in front met the enemy, the person behind could come forward to support or report to the back for help.

Since it is a scout, this village is naturally a place where reconnaissance must be carried out on the march of the troops, and if there are devils, the village is the favorite place for devils to go, there is food to eat, a house to rest, and of course, strong men and women, which is much better than squatting in the wild. Therefore, Liu Qi's trip is not all for personal matters, and official reasons still account for a larger part.

As soon as he approached the village, Liu Qi felt that something was wrong, and the village seemed to be very lively. It is said that it is normal for a village to be a little lively, but Liu Qi still feels that something is not right, maybe it is the reason why some people in this village have a special relationship with him. As soon as Liu Qiyi raised his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately stopped moving. Liu Qi stretched out his right hand and swung his two fingers forward slightly, and immediately two warriors ran past him, Liu Qi lowered his waist and followed behind.
