Chapter 1233 Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet

Received a call for help from Xinglong Town.

The commander of the Meixian Gendarmerie, the Commander of the Security Force, and the Major of the Garrison gathered together.

The office phone rang non-stop.

"The news that the imperial army stationed in Xinglong Town was dispatched to the south late at night is top-secret information of the empire. How did Tuba Road know that Xinglong Town's defenses are empty?"

"Some time ago, the Eight Routes attacked the barracks." The commander of the security force who was newly transferred quickly explained: "The Eight Routes assembled so many people to launch an attack. It must not be something that can be done in three or two days. It should be just a coincidence..."

The commander of the gendarmerie did not get entangled in this matter, and interrupted straight to the point with a straight face: "I will investigate this matter later, and now how to catch all the Tuba Roads that attacked Xinglong Town."

In Shao Zuo's view, this kind of battlefield is actually very simple. Shao Zuo pointed to the map: "We must find out, where did the Eight Routes come from? Why did they attack Xinglong Town? Where will they go after attacking Xinglong Town?"

The commander of the army is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He followed the Shaozuo's thinking: "We must first scout out the current situation, find out how many people are coming from the Eighth Route, how is the firepower configuration, what is the number of the Eighth Route, who is the commander, and who are they?" How did you line up your troops and what is the progress on the battlefield?"

Hearing the eloquence of the newly transferred commander of the Security Force, the devil's commander couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "Brigade Commander Liu, no. Commander Liu's military command ability is indeed extraordinary, you continue to talk!"

Commander Liu didn't hide his clumsiness: "As long as we have the information, we will formulate corresponding combat plans based on the battlefield conditions, and finally issue orders for the various ministries to implement according to the plan."

Speaking of this, Commander Liu paused for a moment: "The battlefield is ever-changing, and all that remains is for commanders at all levels to respond to changes in the battlefield situation. As an excellent commander, we should learn to delegate power first. If there are too many rules and regulations, it may restrict their performance, which is called generals outside, and the emperor's orders are not given."

Major Guizi was stunned for a moment. This seems to be a bit different from the theory of the Imperial Army Army School. Obviously, the opinion put forward by this man is more suitable for the current situation and more specific.

It seems that this guy really has real talent.

The formulation of the battlefield plan is not complicated, no matter how many troops to go out, how many troops are divided into groups, when to deploy, how to communicate with each other, if there is a situation beyond the plan, the commander will make fine adjustments according to the actual battlefield situation
The commander of Bin Bing has his own business to do, he has to figure out why Ba Lu dared to go out with great fanfare, and why he didn't hear any news beforehand...

Soon, a series of orders began to be issued.

Five miles north of Xinglong Town.

Security Force stronghold.

Guns rumbled to the south.

After receiving the news that the Eighth Route Army was besieging Xinglong Town, the newly promoted Battalion Commander of the Public Security Army who received the order immediately took his guns and led his men to rush back to the town to help.

Puppet troops from gun towers along the way joined in one after another
Sounds like cannons?
Battalion Commander Zhi became more nervous as he walked south with a group of men.

Before he found the figure of Balu, he bumped into his subordinates who had withdrawn from the artillery tower near the battlefield.

The leader who fled back was the false company commander, who even ran away with a gun.

He hurriedly pulled a rifle from his subordinates and put it on his back before running to report to the battalion commander: "My God, there are eight roads everywhere in and outside Xinglong Town."

"What's the situation?"

"That... Eight Routes first sent people to the east to attack our old barracks where the imperial army was stationed. Xinglong Town has a circle, and those brothers with mud legs must be in danger now." Company Commander Zhi exaggerated Gao Yidao in his words, and they obviously didn't move.
The battalion commander felt that the sun was coming out from the west: "What are you talking about, there are eight roads everywhere? Even the imperial army dare not move? Did your mother read it wrong?"

"Can this be read wrong? The Eighth Road even sent people to guard the gun towers at home. If we run a step slower, you will have to collect the corpses of our brothers." It's even more powerful, otherwise, if I leave my post without authorization, I will definitely suffer.

Knowing the virtues of his subordinates, he must be exaggerating, but the battalion commander still showed timidity: "Did the Eighth Route continue to come north?"

"Why didn't you come? If he doesn't come, can I run? Balu is still digging roads with a hoe and shovel."

bang bang
The gunshot interrupted the communication between the two who were roaring and screaming.

The battalion commander was taken aback.

Company Commander Zhi yelled directly: "Oh, the vanguard of the Eighth Route is chasing after us again!"

"Why panic!" The battalion commander Zhi took out his pistol, ready to order his hands to meet the enemy.

Company Commander Zhi hurriedly grabbed the Battalion Commander's arm and murmured in a low voice: "My good brother, the citrons that are in their early years will rot first, and the birds that come out of the forest will die first. This fate is his own, and he doesn't want to be a brave warrior. No matter how many rewards the imperial army gives, it is not as important as my own life."

"But, the leader is still in town"

The platoon company commander lowered his voice: "You have always regarded me as a brother. This time, the Eighth Route Army will definitely kill you. Even if the regimental commander is dead, don't go out to show off the limelight. Back then, you spent money to be promoted from the company commander to the battalion commander. I always thought I could make a fortune, but what happened? The imperial army merged villages and towns into concentration camps, and we were all reduced to being watchdogs. Besides, don’t you think that our food is not as good as before, and we used to have two sets of summer and winter clothes a year ago. This year, I’m still wearing last year’s old clothes, and I don’t want to throw away my underpants with two holes.”

Is the battalion commander an idiot?Of course not, the key is that he turned around and ran away now, how will he behave in the future?

I have to find the steps!
Company Commander Zhi is very discerning: "How about you lead the team to withdraw first, and I will stop later."

"Okay, I'll go back and mobilize the big troops to come and reinforce them." Such subordinates are considerate, the pseudo-battalion commander shouted loudly, and then whispered: "The imperial army just wants us to bite the tail of the Eighth Route Army. After I leave, you can shoot a few shots at will." Let’s go! Wait until the imperial association army in the county arrives before making any plans.”

"Yes!" Company Commander Zhi stood at attention first, followed by a loud order to the security forces who fled behind without hesitation: "Brothers, even if we are all dead, we will drag the Eighth Route here."

Therefore, the battalion commander who wanted to go back to transfer people hurriedly took people back to the north to transfer people, and now he is only retreating temporarily.

Company Commander Zhi stays behind to stop the attack.

Seeing the battalion commander walk away, the platoon leader under him scolded: "This turtle can run faster than a rabbit."

Company Commander Zhi didn't panic anymore: "You know what, these years, we not only need to live, but also live well, if something goes wrong, these idiots will take care of it, wait a minute, first send a Brother, go and negotiate a negotiation with Eighth Road, and ask them what demands they have, as long as we don’t let us hand over our guns, we can agree to anything.”

After Company Commander Zhi finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to his platoon leader: "Forget it, you will go there later and hand this over to them. They won't make things difficult for you."

"Why don't you go by yourself?"

"I'm the company commander, how can I go out in person as soon as I come up? You go and talk first. If you can't agree, you can have a buffer, understand?"

"Since we were going to talk anyway, why did we run away just now?"

"If you don't run away, it's the battalion commander you're talking to Eighth Road, so why should we have anything to do?"

"Gao, it's really high, so that we can sell our love to Eighth Road, you can be both right and left, big brother, you are really unworthy if you don't become the battalion commander."

"You bastard, I've given you all my amulets, hurry up, I don't need to teach you how to speak? Don't let me down"

The platoon leader in hand happily went to negotiate with the Eighth Route Battlefield.

Another platoon leader under his command hurried up: "Let's follow the elder brother, it's like a fish in water."

"Learn more, the imperial army is going downhill now, the more officials you become, the more likely you will be liquidated by the Eighth Route Army in the future, understand?"

The platoon leader Zhi asked shyly, "Brother, tell the brothers, how do you know that the imperial army is going downhill?"

Company Commander Zhi smiled triumphantly: "Hey, how long have you been with me?"

The platoon leader Zhi pinched his fingers and calculated: "It must have been twelve years, right?"

"Over the years, you have served in the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army with Lao Tzu. You have also served in the Central Army as a garrison, participated in the Central Plains War, fought guerrillas, and nested in bandits. Didn't you realize that when? Didn’t your team always follow this path before they lost? First they lacked people, then they lacked money, and finally ran away. I think this little devil’s life is probably like a rabbit’s tail, and he won’t grow any longer.”

"The so-called. The Prophet of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, or the elder brother has insight." Platoon Leader Zhi seems to be a little educated, and he speaks well.

Company Commander Zhi looked at the south side: "It's been so many years of life and death, you kid should learn more, our brother No. 30, from the Central Plains War to the present, the iron pieces on the hat have been changed countless times, ours Only a few old brothers died? If they were placed in other companies, maybe they would have been out of ten."

"Then, did the devils in the barracks really leave?"

"It's my fellow countryman who cooks for the devils in the barracks. When he came to town yesterday afternoon to collect oil, I knew they were leaving!"

"Then tell me, should we put two buttons on our hats in the future, or hang them in the blue sky?"

"Hey, you are still a little tender for worrying, don't you know that the hat is buttoned inside, and the sky is bright and white outside?"

Being able to say so righteously and awe-inspiringly about stepping on a few boats before the war, this man can indeed be regarded as a leader among veterans.

The platoon leader loves soldiers like children.

Every time there is a new recruit, the company commander never pretends to be someone else's hand.

Only the false platoon leader knows that as long as he is not the company commander's old brother, he will be killed as cannon fodder at critical moments!
