Chapter 386 Retreat Westward
Taierzhuang.

Chief Li is leading a group of generals to patrol the Taierzhuang battlefield.

Everywhere I saw was ruins.

The walls along the street are full of bullet holes.

There is not a single complete building in Taierzhuang.

This shows how hard the 31st Division fought!
While walking, Chief Li shouted in a deep voice: "Old Sun, your Second Army, especially the 31st Division under your command has contributed a lot to the Xuzhou battle being able to break into this situation!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun, who was following behind, said modestly: "Mr. Li, I appreciate the award. Our Northwest Army just did what we should do for the great cause of the War of Resistance!"

Looking back at Commander-in-Chief Sun, Chief Li smiled and shouted: "Old Sun, if Tang Enbo can think like you, the situation in Xuzhou may be clearer than it is now!"

The chief of staff on the side took up the conversation: "Yes! Although all the troops are gathered in Chaoyi County, the tactical coordination of the troops is very problematic. It is not easy to wipe out the Jigu Division before the arrival of the devil's reinforcements. It is possible, and once the devil reinforcements arrive, the troops gathered in Yi County may also be in danger!"

Sighing heavily, Chief Li shouted: "Hey! I really can't command the Tang Army. This Tang Army commander has repeatedly disobeyed orders, and he obeyed the Yin. It was a good battle, but it turned into a pot of porridge!"

As soon as the voice fell, a communication soldier hurried over!

After saluting all the senior generals, the communications soldier raised his voice and shouted: "Mr. Li! An urgent call from the front line!"

Officer Li shouted: "Read!"

The signal soldier shouted: "The Devil's reinforcements arrived in Yi County at 21:181 and attacked the troops near Yi County. The Xianchuan Army Brigade has been defeated by the Devils. Although the [-]st Regiment has lost one-third of its personnel, it has retreated to the Qinglong River area!"

His face suddenly darkened, and Officer Li shouted: "What? The little devil's reinforcements are moving so fast!"

The other senior generals were also in an uproar.

The sudden arrival of devil reinforcements disrupted the deployment of the Fifth Theater.

Judging from the current situation, not to mention encircling and annihilating the Tenth Division, it might even become a problem for the troops on the front line to maintain their strength.

Attack is impossible.

Now, it's time for the troops gathered in Yi County to consider retreating!
The chief of staff at the side shouted: "Mr. Li, since the devil's reinforcements have arrived on the battlefield, they will attack Yi County and eliminate the [-]th Division's battle plan immediately! Now it is a strategic task to preserve the vitality!"

Nodding his head, Chief Li shouted: "The Chief of Staff is right. We should not hesitate to lose a city or a pool. Now it's time to consider the issue of retreat! Chief of Staff Bai, what advice do you have for retreating?"

After pondering for a while, Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "The retreat should be organized and disciplined, not retreat in a swarm, each unit should cover each other when retreating, and not fight on their own, otherwise once the devil's chasing troops come up, it will inevitably be another one. Leading to the tragedy of the Songhu retreat!"

In the battle of Songhu, millions of troops retreated chaotically, but the veterans who had gone through bloody battles lost a lot on the way to Nanjing.

You know, veterans tempered by the Songhu war are very precious.

Sighing heavily, Chief Li murmured and said: "The retreat in Songhu was a big failure. This retreat must be taken as a warning, Chief of Staff, while you report the withdrawal plan to the high command, you report to the troops. Communicate the plan to retreat west!"

Looking up at Chief Li, Chief of Staff Bai responded, "Yes!"

……

By the pontoon bridge of Qinglong River.

At this time, the soldiers of the 181st regiment had withdrawn to the Qinglong River.

As soon as they arrived at the Qinglong River, news of the death of all members of the Second Battalion reached the head of the regiment.

Hearing the news, the head's eyes turned red like an angry leopard.

The rear molars were clenched, and the head of the regiment shouted in a deep voice: "Little devil, if you don't avenge this revenge, the head of the regiment swears not to be a human being!"

With the same red eyes, the two battalion commanders shouted: "Tuan Zuo! Why don't we fight the little devils by the Qinglong River and avenge the Second Battalion Commander and the brothers of the Second Battalion!"

Wei Wei pondered for a while, and the head of the group shouted: "Go! I must kill these little devils!"

The chief of staff at the side shouted: "Regimental Commander! But the Divisional Commander has just issued an order, ordering us to cover the Tenth Artillery Regiment and retreat westward! Military orders must not be violated!"

With a cold face, the head of the regiment shouted: "Chief of staff, but isn't there a saying that generals in foreign countries will not accept their orders? As long as they can win the battle, what should they do if they need to disobey the military order!"

Frowning, the chief of staff shouted: "But what about the safety of the Tenth Artillery Regiment! The Tenth Artillery Regiment is a German-made 150mm caliber howitzer, but there are not many in the entire army. There must be no mistakes!"

The head of the regiment shouted: "You don't have to worry about this, even if I fight all 181 regiments, I will definitely protect the [-]th regiment!"

At this moment, Commander Lu of the 181th Artillery Regiment came towards the [-]st Regiment!

The head of the 181 regiment also greeted him.

With the same rank of colonel, the two regiment leaders gave each other a military salute.

Commander Lu shouted: "Brother Ma, the safety of our Tenth Artillery Regiment depends entirely on you!"

Smiling slightly, Captain Ma shouted: "Brother Lu, what did you say? Your twelve heavy artillery pieces are the treasures of the entire army. My 181st Regiment will do my best to provide protection! Just put your heart in your stomach!"

With a grateful look on his face, Commander Lu shouted: "Then, on behalf of the 181th Artillery Regiment, I would like to thank all the brothers from the [-]st Regiment!"

After a pause, Tuanzhang Ma pulled Tuanzhang Lu aside: "Brother Lu, I have something to ask!"

Slightly stunned, Captain Lu shouted: "Brother Ma, just say what you have to say, as long as I can help you brother, I will definitely do my best!"

Commander Ma shouted: "Okay! Brother Lu, before your heavy artillery retreats, can you fire a few shots for the brothers! Unfortunately, all of my second battalion was killed in Xiaolizhuang. Fuck that little devil hard!"

Speaking of this, Captain Ma's eyes turned red again.

The second battalion is the most capable battalion of the 181st regiment, but now...

After a little hesitation, Commander Lu shouted: "Brother Ma! The Military and Political Department has regulations. I need to report to the High Command for approval to use artillery shells. I can't just provide artillery support for friendly troops!"

Captain Ma shouted: "Brother Lu! The regulations are dead, but people are alive! You can always find a reasonable reason to get over it when you are fighting outside with a howitzer. Besides, you are beating devils. I will avenge the brothers in the Second Battalion!"

After pondering for a while, Captain Lu shouted loudly: "Okay! The 181th Artillery Regiment will help with this task, but the [-]st Regiment must ensure that the [-]th Artillery Regiment can retreat westward smoothly!"

Stretching out his hand to pat his chest, Captain Ma shouted seriously: "Don't worry about this, as long as there is one brother in my 181st regiment standing, I will never let the little devil threaten the side of the [-]th artillery regiment!"
