"Thank you, Mr. Bao! It's not early, we have to cross the river, there will be a period later, and when the devils are defeated, let's have a good drink, not drunk! Haizi hurriedly said goodbye to Captain Bao, the gunboats on the river have begun to start, these gunboats are the last ships left by Captain Bao, they have been attacked by devils in a row, and most of the remaining ships and docks have been blown up by devil planes, and it is good to be able to stay these ships.

Captain Bao also received Han Fei's order to prepare for his evacuation at any time, and Han Fei asked him in a telegram to him how to leave in the future? Will you follow the Gui army to evacuate in the direction of Tianjia Town, or will you follow the special forces to evacuate in the direction of Dabie Mountain? Han Fei meant that it was best to follow him to evacuate to Dabie Mountain, because judging from the current situation, it is impossible to stop the attack of the Japanese invaders by fighting a frontal battle with the main force of the devils who have an advantage in strength and equipment.

Captain Bao had known that Han Fei had the idea of defecting to the New Fourth Army before, but this time he saw that Han Fei made it clear to him, and knew that this time it was time to avoid it and make his own decisions, so he took this telegram and called a meeting of his officers to discuss.

Lao Bao opened the scene with his subordinate officers: "Brothers, it's time for us to choose our own future, we are fighting bloody battles here, with heavy casualties, but Lao Jiang just doesn't give us supplements, let us fend for ourselves, have you ever thought about our future?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the officers under Lao Bao shouted, they had complaints about the delay in giving them supplements, but they were afraid that Lao Bao would scold them, so no one dared to squeak, and now when they saw Lao Bao speak, they all shouted: "Captain, we listen to you, follow you, we will follow you there!"

"Okay, thank you brothers for trusting Bao so much, then Bao won't hide it, this time we are going to defect to the New Fourth Army, Chief Han has already said hello, and wants us to prepare immediately, start retreating to the northwest, and join the Jiangnan detachment!" Captain Bao nodded and said, anyway, I want to give the brothers a showdown, this time I will cover it up again, and just say it straight to the point, anyway, the sky can't fall.

"Okay, damn it, since he is old Jiang is unkind, then it's no wonder that we are unjust, just like that, let's follow the captain!" Several of his officers, who had doubts about defecting to the New Fourth Army, stood up and took a stand

"What is unkind and unjust, we defected to the New Fourth Army to continue to resist Japan and fight devils, and we are not going to be traitors, and it has nothing to do with this unkindness and injustice, but I have an ugly sentence to say in front, when the time comes, you don't have to half-heartedly think about taking refuge in the little devil, that Bao Mou is absolutely unkind, now you don't want to follow me can leave, Bao Mou is never reluctant, and never embarrassed, people have their own aspirations, different beliefs are not this is nothing, Bao Mou will also send a gift for the passage to the country!" Captain Bao Zhengsedao, his eyes swept at the subordinate officers below, these surviving subordinate officers are elites, most of the subordinate officers have stayed here in Madang Fortress forever and sacrificed their lives for the country, they deserve their eternal respect and remembrance.

The officers under him all said in unison that they were willing to follow the captain, and they were unwilling to leave the team at this time, to be a villain who escaped from the battle, and everyone was a professional soldier, who had worked for most of their lives, and had no other strengths, so they could only stay in the army.

Seeing that his subordinates were willing to follow him, Captain Bao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's talk less nonsense, Madang action, after I stay for a company, the rest of the troops will withdraw to the northwest in batches and join the Jiangnan detachment." “

"Captain, you are our leader, you can't stay behind the break, or I'll take this after the break!" One of his officers stood up and said, his expression was very excited, and when Captain Bao saw it, he was indeed his cronie Wang Battalion Commander, and he was also his little fellow. For him to stand up at such a moment and take the initiative to share for himself, Captain Bao is still very grateful.

"Yes, captain, we can't let you break the queen at this time, you are our backbone, if there is a basket, then our Jiangfang Corps will not be all played?" The officers under him persuaded Lao Bao to give up the broken queen.

Lao Bao was right to think about it, he still had to contact the Jiangnan detachment and Han Fei, if he stayed and broke off, how could those troops who rushed out contact the Jiangnan detachment and Han Fei was also a big problem? So he nodded and said to Camp Commander Wang: "Okay, Xiao Wang! Then it's hard for you, be careful not to fight with the devil, use your brains, we are waiting for you all to return! ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Battalion Commander Wang hurriedly saluted, turned around and ran out like a smoke to prepare, there are many things to do after the break, there are mines to be laid around the position, and some fortifications and pillboxes must be blown up, otherwise once they are captured by the devils who rush up, and deal with us in turn, it will be a big trouble.

The brothers of the Jiangfang Corps began to prepare, fortunately, on the frontal position of Madang Fortress, the Batan devils suspended the attack, and the Wang battalion commander felt that in order to block the pursuit of the devils and confuse the devils, he must take the initiative to attack, as long as the devils on the opposite side were in a hurry to deal with it, then they could ensure the safe evacuation of the main force of the retreating Jiangfang Corps, otherwise once the devils discovered the retreat intention here, if they came to chase and block, it was estimated that there would be big trouble.

Except for the brothers of the platoon who left behind to lay explosives and arrange the pits in the pillboxes and fortifications, the rest of the more than 60 subordinates were all divided into small teams of five or six people by him, and according to the way Han Fei taught him, they were arranged into action teams, each team was equipped with scouts and grenadiers, as well as fire support soldiers, and of course, sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship, scouts were responsible for detecting the enemy situation in front and directing the actions of the whole team, and they were the commanders of this action team. The sharpshooter is responsible for eliminating the devil officers and fire points that appear in the operation, clearing the obstacles in the advance for the brothers in the back, of course, fire support, needless to say, is to suppress the fire of the opposite devil and cover the attack of other infantry, and the grenadier is the demoman, responsible for throwing grenades and laying mines, providing cover for fire support, and ensuring that the firepower of the entire squad is not suppressed by the devil on the opposite side.
