The current situation

Every time a vicious battle is fought, the troops under his leadership will undergo a major reshuffle in terms of numbers. The number of iron-clad soldiers is running low, and countless young people pack up their bags to join the army and join the army. Bloody battlefields, people are constantly being added, and the flames of war are not extinguished. , the loop continues.

Before night fell, the casualties of the [-]th Army were counted. More than [-] people were directly killed in the whole army. Among them, the [-]st, [-]th and [-]th Divisions suffered the most casualties. Gone.

That night, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Army who survived the battle decided to retreat to Lukou Township to rest.

According to the rest order of the group army, when the whole army arrived at Lukou Township, it was already exhausted, and when it was time to start fires and dump stoves, it was still based on the regiments, but the number of buried pots dropped a lot.

The mission I received was to guard Shizhu Ridge for three days and three nights, but I didn't expect that after the 33rd Division attacked twice, the whole division was overwhelmed. Let the real combat time of the whole army only end before noon yesterday to noon today.

But it was only a day's work, and the entire army lost more than [-] people. The huge casualties made the officers and soldiers who were cooking and cooking at the moment look lonely, and they were not happy to repel the devils.

The sound of the bonfire was "crackling". Many officers and soldiers were still eating in a pot yesterday, but today they are buried in a foreign land.

In the desolate atmosphere drifting in the evening wind, after dinner, Li Chong, under the table next to the fire, and a few people from the regiment headquarters who could write, recorded the list of soldiers killed in battle in a notebook.

This list will be submitted to the brigade headquarters at that time, and then submitted layer by layer, and finally there will be a special pension department to report to the hometown of officers and soldiers. This is the last thing Li Chong wants to do.

Some soldiers who came out of the same country and survived already wiped their tears when they reported their names. Li Chong knew that most of the soldiers in his regiment were from the Sichuan-Chongqing Army that the whole regiment accepted in Tietouling after the Battle of Coffin Mountain. Young soldiers in the rear.

These soldiers came from the same township in threes and fives, and came out together. After a battle, only themselves survived, which is inevitably sad.

The death list of the whole regiment was finally compiled into a thick volume. Li Chong took out a pen and wrote down the regiment number on the title page.

After submitting the death list, Li Chong went into the tent to sleep. Today's fight was too hard, and at this moment he felt a soreness in his arms.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a "pong!" gunshot, and Li Chong woke up suddenly and rushed out of the tent.

Many soldiers thought it was an enemy attack!

However, there was no movement of any devil troops within the field of vision. It is estimated that someone went off the rails. After all, after every bloody battle, some recruits who had just entered the battlefield had battlefield sequelae.

In order to prevent this situation, after the war, the guns of the grassroots troops will be put away by the platoon leader for unified management. Li Chong thought, why would there be such a gunshot?

However, while eating breakfast, Li Chong heard that the gunshot in the morning was fired by Army Commander Yang Hanyu.

After a little inquiry, it turned out that after the casualties list of the whole army was collected at the commander Yang Hanyu in the middle of the night last night, as the head of the [-]th Army, he watched the heavy casualties of the whole army after the Battle of Shizhuling, and stayed up all night.

Army Commander Yang Hanyu stood in the open air all night, looking towards Shizhu Ridge. At first the guards and two division commanders beside him persuaded him to go into the tent to rest, but Yang Hanyu tossed and turned on the bed, his mind was full of the names of the fallen soldiers. After falling asleep, I got up and walked out of the tent, and stood there in the middle of the night.

He didn't have a good rest, and he didn't eat or drink. In the morning, four or five fifteen or sixteen-year-old orderlies came from nowhere to play. shot.

Fortunately, the guards on the side shot his arm into the sky with a stride, and a single shot missed did not cause tragedy.

In addition to hearing about this incident, there was another piece of news that completely wiped out the chaos in Li Chong's mind that was awakened by the gunshots in the morning.

When I woke up, on the Xiangbei battlefield, the front line built on the Xiangjiang River was broken by the devils!

At night when he was sleeping soundly, the devils used gunboats swimming on the Xiangjiang River on the frontal battlefield in northern Hunan to transport a detachment of the Third Division to land on the beach in Yintian and defeat the Yintian defenders. This copied the 15th Army Group The back road!

The route of retreat was blocked. If the sky cleared, the 15th Army would be attacked from front to back, and it would be in an extremely dangerous situation. There was no way, and the war zone commander could only order the 15th Army to abandon its position and retreat in the heavy rain.

At the same time, troops were deployed to block the third division that was about to land, and the troops deployed included the Seventy Army.

Hearing the news, Li Chong sighed. The devils easily breached a line of defense on the frontal battlefield in northern Hunan, and the advantage of making the 33th Army work so hard to block the [-]rd Division at Shizhu Ridge was taken into account at once.

As far as the morale of the current devils is concerned, it is undoubtedly an encouragement under the deadlock.

As far as I am in the 27th Army, the most direct impact is that the devils in northern Hunan are one step closer to Changsha, and the [-]th Army was seconded to a place hundreds of kilometers away to stop the Third Division.

The [-]th Army was seconded, and Li Chong thought that in this way, in the middle of Tongcheng and Xiushui, two counties that were less than a hundred miles apart, the only active main force was the [-]th Army, which was half damaged.

Ge Laozi, when he wakes up, there is only such a team of his own army left between the two ghost counties!
The situation has become a bit severe. Although the 33rd Division was divided into two groups by the 27th Army, which was waiting for work, one group returned to Tongcheng, and the other went to Xiushui. This was not a concern for the entire [-]th Group Army. But it's hard to say now.

Even based on my own estimates, the 33rd Division suffered more than 33 casualties in Shizhuling.In terms of headcount, the number of casualties is only about one-third of this division. According to the 8000rd Division's initial establishment of 1 people gathered in Tongcheng County, even after the [-]th Army attacked for a while, the general Counting there are at least [-] devils.

If the devils from Tongcheng and Xiushui attacked at the same time, the situation would be bleak with the current number and ammunition of the [-]th Army.

If the head of the regiment himself can think of this, the brigade commander, division commander, and army commander above can naturally also think of it. Since the army commander has not made any adjustments, he must have plans.

Soon, Li Chong knew what the commander's plan was in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, the military department mobilized soldiers to set up a rather large sacrificial execution ground outside Lukou Township.

Li Chong thought about it, but he didn't expect that the head of the 27th Army he belonged to still had a lot of friendship. In fact, it was no wonder, after all, the commander of the army and even the commander of the [-]th Army above him, Yang Sen, were all from Sichuan.

However, Li Chong felt that even though he was in the Sichuan army, he still underestimated the friendship these officers had with their soldiers. He slept soundly in the tent last night. Although he felt unhappy about the casualties of the whole regiment, he could After all, there is no such mental burden.

In order to let the souls of the fallen soldiers who were buried in foreign lands return to their hometowns, the army commander Yang Hanyu invited some monks and Taoist priests who could do rituals at noon. A white stripe.

Commander Yang Hanyu wrote an inscription on the stele, and at the same time, Yang Sen, the commander of the group army, sent a telegram of condolence. high memorial ceremony.
