Thinking of this, Han Fei immediately said to Chen Wan'er: "Major Chen, you immediately send a telegram to Haizi and them, asking them to immediately cross the river to take over Li Dagang and them on the Xiangkou position, cover Li Dagang's retreat, and at the same time let them not fight with the devils, and when the devils' attack slows down a little, they will also retreat immediately, pay attention to when they abandon the position, don't let the little devils easily capture the position!" ”

"Ah, are you going to retreat?" Chen Wan'er was a little surprised.

"Yes, the war situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us, this time the devils not only surpass us in numbers, but also in terms of weapons and equipment and fire cover, we are in a very disadvantageous position, it is time to make up our minds to retreat, otherwise we will have to leave all these remaining anti-Japanese seeds here!" Han Fei nodded, urging Chen Wan'er to send a telegram to Haizi immediately, the time was urgent, and she couldn't afford to delay.

Chen Wan'er immediately turned around and went to send a telegram, Han Fei said to the staff officers and officers beside him: "Let's go, let's go to Xiangkou and cover for Haizi and Li Dagang!" ”

As soon as a staff officer heard that Han had to cross the river to Xiangkou, he dissuaded him at that time: "Sir Han, don't, Xiangkou is already very dangerous, and it is about to be withdrawn, what is the use of us in the past?" ”

"How could it not be useful? Let's go to Xiangkou, at least to raise the morale of those brothers who are still holding the Xiangkou position, as the commander here, I have to stay with the soldiers at the front, not slip away in advance. Han Fei actually thought in his heart that before retreating, he would be able to lead a team of special forces to kill devils and have fun, he understood that if he followed the New Fourth Army in the future, he would not encounter a face-to-face offensive and defensive battle with devils like this for a while, and in the future, I am afraid that it will be dominated by guerrilla warfare and other movement attack warfare, so take advantage of the opportunity to have another enjoyable time.

"What about the communications office?" When the officers under him saw that Han Fei had made up his mind, he had to ask him.

"Let them withdraw first, and leave a squad to escort them first!" Han Fei nodded and said.

After Chen Wan'er finished sending the report, when she came to the command post to find Han Fei and say a few more words, she was gone to Han Fei, Chen Wan'er panicked, and hurriedly found the "fox" and asked him: "Where did Han Fei go?" ”

"I also just got the news from the brothers in the guard squad that Chief Han has already taken the staff officers and officers to Xiangkou, and he wants us to retreat immediately, the sooner the better!" The "fox" also looked helpless and dazed. This Chief Han is also really, he didn't even tell his wife about his actions, and left by himself, which is also a little unpleasant, right?

An angry look appeared on Chen Wan'er's face, but she quickly regained her composure, she nodded and said to the guard squad leader: "I know, when are we going to retreat?" ”

"Evacuate now! The sooner the better! "The guard squad leader was surprised, Chief Han's wife didn't lose her temper because of this?

"Okay, let's get out right away!" Chen Wan'er nodded and said, she understands that the knot in Han Fei's heart can't be untied for a while, so let him take the team to have a good time, as long as he can come back completely and safely, it's useless to worry about getting angry.

After three days and three nights of forced marching, they finally withdrew to the Tianjiazhen area in the eastern suburbs of Wuhan, and met with the liaison officer sent by Chief Li. ”

"Junzao, Chief Li and Chief Bai already know, they are rushing here." The liaison officer nodded.

"The old chief is coming? How does this work? Shall I go and see them? It's about to be at the forefront, and it's dangerous. Commander Huang said a little uneasy.

It is said that Han Fei organized the staff officers and officers in the command post into a platoon, a submachine gun with a water of grenades, a full of grenades on his chest, enough ammunition and radios, and of course two sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship followed, and found a few gunboats left by the brothers of the river defense corps on the edge of the river beach, boarded the gunboats, and galloped towards Xiangkou on the other side of the river bank with full horsepower.

In order to preserve the strength of the fleet, the commander of the devil's fleet decided to retreat all along the Yangtze River and retreat along the Yangtze River to Anqing.

The devil was half angry, but there was no way, he didn't know anything about naval tactics, he was originally an army infantry general, and this time he was temporarily appointed as the commander in charge of the Madang Campaign, the devil navy originally had opinions on the army, and often fought back and forth, you look down on me between each other, I look down on you, this time the commander of the devil fleet lost two big ships at once, and he stopped doing it at that time, he also understood that no matter what the fleet ships were, they couldn't beat the bombers in the sky, In the absence of strong support from the air forces behind, the fleet still retreats to the Anqing area first to preserve its strength, as for whether Hatian's infantry can take Xiangkou within the time limit, it is not a matter of their navy, since Hatada has the ability to accept the mission, then there should be his way.

The Devil Hatian had no choice but to change his attitude and asked the commander of the Devil's Fleet to send a landing boat to load the infantry to Xiangkou, if he wanted to take Xiangkou, it would be far from enough to be close to the infantry of one wing that had already landed, and he had to transport more than two wings of infantry to ensure that he was sure to take the Xiangkou position.

After some quarrels and coordination with the headquarters of the Devil's Dispatch Army, the commander of the Devil's Fleet agreed to send destroyers and landing craft to escort the main infantry force of Hata's infantry to land in the direction of Xiangkou after receiving the guarantee of fire support from the air force aircraft. And re-laid mines and traps outside the fortifications, seeing that Haizi and Han Fei came up with reinforcements, Li Dagang was excited, rubbed his hands excitedly, and couldn't even speak, nodding again and again: "Okay!" Good! That's great! This time the incense can be saved! ”
