More than a dozen people heard Yang Zhen's question, but they didn't speak. After a short silence, a person stood up and said, "Company Commander Yang, what you did just now, and what the devils here do, what exactly do you want to do by taking us from the prison here, Chief Guo has already sued us just now." ”

"For your righteousness, you saved your brothers from the fire, and the brothers are deeply admired. Although I am not from the Sichuan Army, I am from the former 59th Army. But please rest assured, our Zhang Junzuo is not ambiguous in fighting devils, and we, the brothers of the Northwest Army, are even more ambiguous in fighting devils. We have never been afraid of devils in Lugouqiao, Linyi, and Taierzhuang, and we will not be here. ”

"I am here to make a statement on behalf of these dozen brothers of the Northwest Army here, as long as they are fighting devils, they will resolutely obey orders. Wherever you command, we will fight. If someone frowns and says a word, you can shoot him directly. ”

When his words fell, the dozen or so people behind him all shouted: "Your Northwest Army's devil-fighting people are not ambiguous, and our Sichuan Army's is even more ambiguous." Company Commander Yang, since this life was given by you, don't hesitate. You give orders, and we will obey them resolutely. If that person pretends to be a turtle grandson, you can shoot him directly. ”

Hearing these officers' rambling answers, Yang Zhen said with some excitement: "Brothers, thank you for your trust in me. The situation is critical, so I won't say much. Now there is a difficult problem in front of us, what this devil's base is used for, and now you all know it. ”

"Now I'm giving you two options. The first is that we have not yet fully woken up the little devils to break through, as long as we cross the Labin Railway before dawn, we will have a glimmer of life. Another option is to wipe out this place completely before the devil soldiers gather. Nip the bacteriological warfare base of the devil in the bud. But in doing so, we will face a heavy siege by the devils, and we may never have a chance to get out of here alive again. ”

"This matter is a matter of life and death for everyone, so I am not arbitrary. Everyone is a soldier, and everyone should know the importance of time on the battlefield. So I'm sorry, but I can only give you two minutes to think about it. The brothers over there are still struggling to stop the devils who rushed over, and there is not much time left for everyone to buy. With that, Yang Zhen turned around and didn't look at the dozen or so people.

After listening to his words, the crowd was silent for a while, and it was the person from the Northwest Army who spoke first: "Company Commander Yang, how did you decide?" Brothers, I want to hear what you mean. ”

Hearing this inquiry, Yang Zhen turned around and looked at everyone before saying, "What the devil is doing when he studies these bacteria, everyone should know it." You may not know what these bacteria are. Time is of the essence, and I can't explain it in detail, but I can tell you that these so-called bacteria are the plague in everyone's mouth. ”

"The little devils study these bacteria to use these plagues instead of them to slaughter us Chinese, so as to reduce their casualty rate and destroy our people's determination to resist. What is the plague, I think everyone has experienced it. If you don't understand what I'm saying today. Think about what it is like every time there is a plague in your hometown, and you will know it. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his voice and said, "For the sake of our flesh and blood compatriots not to be harmed by these plagues artificially created by the devils, and for our brothers and sisters to live safely and healthily, I have decided to stay here." ”

After that, Yang Zhen swept over the people present with his gaze before he said: "It's a matter of everyone's life and death, how do you do it, I won't force everyone." But I hope someone will be able to stay and fight with me. ”

"If everyone doesn't want to, they can break through on their own. Although the devils have woken up and have begun to mobilize troops, they have not yet had time to mobilize large forces to encircle and suppress us. Therefore, as long as everyone goes all out to break through to the south, there is still a great hope of rushing out. I'm here, and I'll try my best to hold back the devil with my brothers who are willing to stay, and create a chance for everyone to break through. ”

After Yang Zhen said this, he didn't say anything, just took a rifle in Xiaohuzi's hand, and after loading the bullet, he walked towards the small position that was blocking the devil's troops without looking back, without looking back. Behind him, there were Patten Dingjie, Xiaohuzi, and more than a dozen captured personnel of the Eighteenth Group Army, who also grasped the rifles in their hands and followed closely.

Looking at the backs of more than a dozen people in Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun sighed. Remembering the conversation of a few people in the prison, he didn't say anything, and after loading the southern-style pistol in his hand, he followed.

Guo Bingxun disagreed with Yang Zhen's practice of fighting to the death now. According to Guo Bingxun's idea, as long as the living force can be retained, there will be time to eliminate this Japanese army in the future. Now that I have no ammunition, no supplies, no support, and no reinforcements, it is not a good choice to fight the devils here.

But since Yang Zhen has made a choice, it is reasonable, and he cannot abandon Yang Zhen to fight alone. When he kept up with Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun was not only holding a pistol in his hand, but also holding a structural diagram of the entire Japanese military base torn from the main hall of the Devil's Square Building. Originally, this picture was to prepare for the breakout. But now, in Guo Bingxun's opinion, if Yang Zhen insists on his ideas, this picture will be more useful for his next actions.

Rushing to the small position that was blocking the devil's troops, the first thing Yang Zhen did was to press down the person in charge of the command who was about to get up and salute when he saw him coming. This person was one of the first veterans to be released, so he knew Yang Zhen.

Knowing Yang Zhen and seeing his skills, he was also a little excited when he saw Yang Zhen coming, and he forgot that this place was now a battlefield, so he had to get up and salute. If it weren't for Yang Zhen's quick reaction, I'm afraid that under the little devil's well-trained marksmanship, this somewhat reckless guy would have been injured a long time ago.

Yang Zhen, who didn't have time to talk to this veteran, looked straight to the door after pressing this person down on a step that was temporarily used as a cover: "How is it, how many people are there from the devil, and how is the equipment?" How many of you still have now? How long can it be topped? ”

Although it has only been ten minutes since that gunshot, judging from the gunfire coming from this position, there are not many reinforcements rushed by the devils. But based on the difference in strength between the two sides, Yang Zhen still asked about the current situation in the first sentence.

When this person saw Yang Zhen's arrival, he was very excited and said with some questions: "Company Commander Yang, my name is Du Kaishan, I was originally a second lieutenant platoon commander of the Sichuan Army, and I was captured together with Chief Guo in the late stage of the Battle of Xuzhou. ”

"Just now, when the guns rang out, because these brothers under my command were the first to receive guns, they were sent here by Chief Guo to be a guard. The brothers in the back have all their weapons, and we need to hold out for how long we can withdraw. ”

"I didn't ask for your CV or why you were sent here. I now want to know what is actually happening here. I'm not here to tell you how long you have to retreat, but to ask you how long you can resist the devil. ”

Yang Zhen's words made Du Kaishan look a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to say it for a while. But in the end, it was a veteran, although he didn't participate in any of the conversations just now, but Du Kaishan, who also knew a little about the sinister shape at the moment, didn't care too much about the embarrassment of his hot face sticking to his cold buttocks.

After a short period of embarrassment, Du Kaishan was not ambiguous, and immediately replied according to Yang Zhen's request: "Company Commander Yang, just now according to the deployment of Chief Guo, our twenty brothers have arranged the main firepower to the front, that is, the main road between the two buildings in front of us. ”

"We used machine-gun fire to control the main road, and on each side of the other flanks were three men with good marksmanship as flank cover. When the little devils built these houses, they were surrounded by high walls. Although these high walls cut off our escape routes, they also limited the attack routes of the little devils. This makes it impossible for the little devil to take a detour from the flank, and can only attack from the front, which saves us a lot of trouble. ”

"The little devils are very fast, we just arrived here and got rid of a few of the little devils' gendarmes who were about to leave for the back, and they rushed over. The devils who just arrived should have about a small group of people, and they tried to attack twice, but we were all repulsed. ”

"It's a pity that our people are still a little nervous and take the initiative to shoot, so that the little devil feels that something is wrong. Otherwise, after waiting for a while, when the little devils enter here, I dare to guarantee that none of the devils in this squad will be able to escape. ”

After listening to Du Kaishan's report, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment and said, "This is the general affairs department of the little devil." On both sides are the office buildings of the little devils, and the iron gate behind them is the only way to enter and exit here. If you can think of taking it down and controlling it first, it means that you still have your brains. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's praise, Du Kaishan just laughed twice and didn't say much. But Guo Bingxun's voice came from behind him: "Lao Yang, don't look at this guy, it's just a platoon commander, there is still a set of ways to fight." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a backstage, he would have been at least a lieutenant company commander by now based on his military age. It's because this guy is willing to use his brain that I put him in charge of this place in the first place. Put this guy here, and add the terrain here, even if the devil comes to a team, he can go up for at least half an hour. ”

Hearing Guo Bingxun's voice, Yang Zhen turned his head and said with some surprise: "Old Guo, why are you here too?" ”

Regarding the surprise in Yang Zhen's tone, Guo Bingxun shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "You have already made up your mind, can I still disobey?" Don't forget, I made a promise when I was inside. You don't want me to be a perfidy. ”

After that, Guo Bingxun spread out the structural diagram that he had been holding in his hand, and said in a stern tone: "Lao Yang, since you have made a decision, whether I agree with it or not, I can only support you." I was on my way here and carefully considered your words. Now it depends on your decision that may not be the right one, and maybe none of us here will be able to get out of here alive. ”

"But as far as the overall situation of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is concerned, and as far as the lives of millions of Chinese people are concerned, I cannot but say that your decision is right. I will die and the country will survive, and I will save the country and die. In order for thousands of flesh and blood compatriots not to be harmed by devil bacteria, why don't we all throw them here today. ”

"We should not only think about ourselves, but also about the millions of compatriots who are under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders at this time. Maybe according to my thoughts, we can survive, but letting go of this Japanese army will bring greater danger to the Chinese nation. Lao Yang, for the sake of the life and death of the Chinese nation, you just let it go. ”

Guo Bingxun's voice had just fallen, and before Yang Zhen could answer him, a uniform voice came from behind him: "Company Commander Yang, what Chief Guo said is right." For the sake of the survival of the Chinese nation, we followed you. I will survive the country, and the country will survive. ”

Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Yang Zhen turned his head and saw that almost all of the officers who had just talked to him were standing behind him, looking at him solemnly. Although some of these people were wearing the uniforms of devil guards, and some were wearing prison uniforms that they had forcibly changed into after entering here, they all had a tenacious and unyielding expression on their faces.

Looking at these people behind him, although Yang Zhen tried his best to hide his excitement, his eyes still moistened involuntarily. He knew that after today's battle, few of these people would probably survive to the end.

For all the people here, they should know that if they stay here, they will not see the future, they will not see any hope of living, and they may not even see the sun tomorrow morning. However, they all stayed without hesitation, giving up the chance they had just gotten alive. This made Yang Zhen how could he not be emotional.

Seeing the moistness in the corners of Yang Zhen's eyes, Guo Bingxun hurriedly said: "Old Yang is not the time to be excited, you hurry up and tell me what we should do?" We can't just stay here and wait for the devils to surround and suppress, right? Besides, if we stay here, we won't be able to destroy these devils. ”

Hearing Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen settled down, left Du Kaishan behind to continue to monitor the follow-up of the devil, and after he gathered everyone to his side, he pointed to the structural diagram brought by Guo Bingxun and said: "Now for us, there is no room for retreat." The only thing we can do is attack. Only before the devil reinforcements arrived, we completely eliminated the devils here, and we still had a glimmer of life. ”

"This is the general affairs department of the devil, and the place where we used to stay is the core area of the devil's commonly known as the Sifang Building. Where will all the real yàn of the devil be in the future. If we want to destroy this place, the main thing is to blow it up. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's finger slid on the structure map to a two-story building and said, "This is where the brain of their army is located, that is, their headquarters building. In addition, there are dormitories for high-ranking officers and some so-called experts in the vicinity, and these people are their real brains. If we want to destroy this place completely, we have to get rid of these people. ”

"We destroyed this base of theirs, they can build a new one. If we get rid of these so-called experts, we will really hit the nail on the head. It only takes two or three years to build a base, but it takes more than a dozen or even decades to train a specialist. ”

"Only by getting rid of all the experts of these devils can we completely destroy this base." Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's fist slammed into a point on the south side of the structural drawing.
