The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 234 The Broken Rangers

"Quick, quick, put the machine gun up."

"One platoon leader, two classes are arranged here."

"Tell the chariot troops to get out of the way. People can't block the road."

"Stop carrying boxes of grenades. Just put ropes from upstairs and use the ropes to hoist the ammunition up."

The front intersection of Zhongshan North Road was ablaze. The wide main road was crowded with densely packed Chinese soldiers. Among them, the ones at the front were officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion wearing tactical vests that were completely different from ordinary Chinese troops. Both sides of the main road were crowded. On the reinforced concrete structure building on the side, there are busy and enthusiastic officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion everywhere.

Officers and soldiers from the Secret Service Battalion were stationed on each floor of the buildings on both sides. The officers and soldiers were working in the corridors and stocking up ammunition. From time to time, there was a crisp sound of glass breaking. It was the officers and soldiers from the Secret Service Battalion who were destroying the windows in the building and affecting the shooting. In addition to the obstacles around the building, Sulotong machine guns were set up condescendingly on the roof platform, and large bamboo baskets containing grenade boxes and bullet boxes were constantly hoisted to the roof.

On the main road, sixteen No. 1 tanks of the Army Armored Corps were divided into two lines and stopped against the buildings on both sides of the road. Behind the tanks were four 81mm tanks of the Secret Service Battalion Artillery Company. mortars and two 47 mm tank defense guns, as well as two 37 mm tank defense guns from the Army Armored Corps tank defense gun platoon.

The road was in a mess. Under the continuous bombings of the Japanese army, the once smooth road was now full of potholes. There were blown down street lamps and corpses everywhere. Abandoned rickshaws and goods in department stores and shops were even more numerous. Hundreds of pieces were left on the road, and even burnt blackened telephone poles and blown-up billboards were scattered on the road.

On the road, nearly two thousand Chinese soldiers were arranged in neat formations in company platoons. The soldiers were holding hands with each other, shoulder to shoulder, and they stretched across the road in rows, forming dozens of formations. An airtight human wall, these soldiers are different from the well-equipped and exquisitely dressed officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion. Most of these soldiers do not have steel helmets. Only officers and a small number of soldiers wear German steel helmets, and the clothes they wear are relatively rough or even beaten. They wear patched cotton military uniforms, and the rifles slung over their shoulders are either medium-sized or made in Hanyang. The equipment used to carry bullets and grenades is not the well-made tactical vest of the spy camp, but a bullet belt made of coarse cloth and a rope. and a grenade pouch tied to the chest with a strip of coarse cloth.

Of course, this unit is not a special agent battalion, but a supplementary brigade belonging to Song Xilian's 78th Army. This brigade was also formed by removing the backbone of the 36th Division. Unfortunately, the 36th Division, the former German The elite Type Adjustment Division, after the battle of Songhu, the quality of personnel and equipment are no longer what they were before, let alone the newly established supplementary brigade. Therefore, when it comes to military uniforms and equipment, the supplementary brigade and the secret service battalion are naturally one under the ground and one in the sky. .

After the operation began, He Wei was ordered to lead the special agent battalion and the supplementary brigade of the 78th Army directly into Zhongshan North Road from Yijiang Gate, and then continued forward until the end of the road, which could directly lead to Yijiang Gate. Jiangmen, and exiting Yijiangmen is Xiaguan. Therefore, no matter what the retreat route of the frontline troops is, they will eventually converge on this road and rush towards Yijiangmen. Therefore, if you want to block the retreating troops, If you want to restore order to the collapsed troops, you must control this road.

The plan sent to intercept was He Wei's special agent battalion and the attached armored corps tanks and tank defense guns, as well as the supplementary brigade of the 78th Army. After each unit was in place, it was supplemented by He Wei and the 78th Army. The brigade commander, Colonel Li Qinruo, discussed and decided to use the special agent battalion as the vanguard to occupy the strong buildings on both sides of the road to control the commanding heights. On the road, the sixteen No. 1 tanks of the Armored Corps were placed on top to block the road and behind the tanks. , it is a human wall formed by the officers and soldiers of the supplementary brigade.

After using these tricks, the entire highway was blocked. If any troops did not listen to the advice and wanted to rush in, they would first have to face the machine guns of the secret service battalion on the building, followed by more than a dozen reinforced iron vehicles. A chariot of bones, followed by human walls one after another.

After the fire blockade, tank blockade and manpower blockade, the entire road has been completely blocked. Anyone who wants to rush through must first weigh whether his bones and flesh are stronger than the tank.

Seeing that it was getting dark, in order to prevent long nights and endless dreams, He Wei and others raced against the clock to quickly deploy the blocking line, and finally took control of this very important highway before the defeated troops arrived.

On the left side of the road, He Wei was taking a rest against his Mercedes-Benz military vehicle and the two chief officers of the 78th Army Supplementary Brigade. He hurriedly arrived. He Wei and the two chief officers of the 78th Army Supplementary Brigade were in a row. It took two hours of non-stop tossing to complete the arrangement of this blocking defense line, especially because the incident happened suddenly. He Wei and his troops had not eaten. After the troops were organized, it was impossible for them to let them go. The soldiers were hungry, so they organized the officers and soldiers to eat in batches. After the troops finished eating and reorganized the blocking line, He Wei and the others suddenly felt hungry, so they simply bought a box of soda and biscuits from a nearby unsupervised shopping mall. Canned food and a battlefield dinner using local ingredients.

The two chief officers are Li Qinruo, the colonel commander of the 78th Army Supplementary Brigade, and Li Muliang, the lieutenant colonel commander of the 2nd Supplementary Regiment of the 78th Army Supplementary Brigade. They are both He Wei's senior students in Huangpu. Among them, Li Muliang Qinruo is the eldest brother of Huangpu Phase I. He is very senior and has participated in all the Northern Expedition and Eastern Expedition. However, his development is not very good. He is only a colonel now, and the supplementary brigade of the 78th Army under his command is only A new temporary brigade that was established less than a month ago is composed of old scalper-like officers.

Li Muliang, the lieutenant colonel leader who supplemented the second regiment, was also a graduate of the fifth phase of Huangpu.

The three of them were devouring their food and chatting from time to time. The two Huangpu seniors were very familiar with He Wei's record of capturing Japanese tanks and regiment flags, and they also praised He Wei from time to time. An old senior whom he met for the first time praised him. He Wei was far from being arrogant, but he still felt good about being praised by others.

However, while chatting, He Wei also discovered something fishy about the supplementary brigade of the 78th Army. Currently, most brigade-level units of the national army have two regiments under them, but this supplementary brigade seems to have only one infantry regiment, and the other However, the designation was the Supplementary Second Regiment, which suddenly confused He Wei. So, while taking a break, He Wei curiously asked Li Qinruo why the 78th Army's Supplementary Brigade only had one regiment. , but the number is to supplement the second group? So where is the first group?

And Li Qinruo's answer to him also made He Wei stunned: "Brother, after withdrawing from Songhu, we will use our 36th Division as the basis to establish the 78th Army, with a supplementary brigade and the 36th Division under it. Brother, my brigade was completely built from scratch. Our 36th Division is the backbone of this army. But they gave us a designation, but the number of supplementary officers and soldiers was not enough. They built four supplementary regiments for us in Wuhu. Three were given to the 36th Division and one to my supplementary brigade."

"My brigade wants to form two regiments, but there are not enough people. Commander Song asked me to form a regiment first, so I simply formed a second regiment first. Why? When I go out and show my number, others will hear it. The second regiment, I probably feel that there is still a first regiment, there is no other way, the troops are insufficient, so I can only do this to build up my momentum."

"To be honest, brother, my supplementary brigade actually doesn't even have a brigade headquarters. It only has one regiment. There is no other way but to do this. There are only two thousand people in the regiment school. , two-thirds of them are new recruits. To be honest, it is okay to fight in positional warfare or to act as a street clearing tiger to block the defeated troops like now. If you really want to engage the Japanese army in a one-on-one field attack and defense, it will probably not work. , we can only use the number to build momentum."

After listening to Li Qinruo's explanation, He Wei couldn't help but laugh. He thought that the number of the infantry regiment under the supplementary brigade did not occupy the official infantry regiment number number of the Ministry of Military Affairs. According to his way of playing, if he really wanted to build up his momentum, he could actually do it. Wouldn't it be more awesome to change the supplementary second regiment to the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth regiments?

Just when He Wei was sighing about the reason, suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle engine came from the distance, and then, the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion on the building suddenly shouted to the people downstairs.

"Batalion Commander, Platoon Commander Yang is back. It seems there are troops coming from the front."

Hearing the shouts of the sentry, He Wei and the two chief officers of the 78th Army's supplementary brigade immediately took action. He Wei picked up his gun and ran over, and saw a three-wheeled motorcycle from the secret service battalion running over. Before the motorcycle could stop, the spy platoon leader Yang Biao, who was sitting in the sidecar, jumped off and hurried to He Wei's side.

Yang Biao said out of breath: "Battal Commander, there are troops coming down from the front. Oh my God, they are all people. The streets are packed with water. They are all troops, including infantry, mules, horses and artillery carts." , were all removed from the front."

"Which army is it from? What's the number?"

He Wei asked.

"Oh my god, the battalion commander, I can't tell at all. All the troops are evacuating here in a hurry, and they are all crowded together. Just now they fought to fight for the road. I originally wanted to go. I called a few soldiers and asked them which army they were from, but these bastards were so jealous of fighting for the way that they came up and shot at me. Fortunately, I missed, so I hurried back to report the news."

Yang Biao replied with lingering fear.

When He Wei heard this, he secretly said something bad. It was obvious that all the troops at the front retreated and then merged on this road. They must prepare immediately.

So, He Wei sent someone to notify Li Qinruo, commander of the 78th Army's supplementary brigade, and commanded the special agent battalion and tank troops. He Wei ordered the first infantry company and the second infantry company of the special agent battalion on the roofs of the buildings on both sides. The Second Company was ready for warning shots and blocking shots, and asked Zhao Huzhen, the company commander of the armored corps tank company, to line up the tanks and block the road.

The officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion were ready immediately. The Sulotong general-purpose machine guns on the roof had already been set up, and the tanks of the tank company were also in place one after another. Zhao Huzhen directly lined up one tank on the road, and five tanks The No. 1 tank lined up to block the road. At the same time, all sixteen tanks in the tank company turned on the night searchlights installed on the front of the tank body.

Suddenly, the road that had become dark as it got dark became brightly lit in an instant.

After the special agent battalion and tank troops were ready, the 78th Army's supplementary brigade in the rear was also ready. Nearly two thousand officers and soldiers formed rows after rows of human walls hundreds of meters long.

The officers and soldiers of the special agent platoon directly under the special agent battalion stood behind the tank, while He Wei stepped on the turret of Zhao Huzhen's vehicle, raised a large loudspeaker collected from a nearby building with a golden sword, and waited quietly. The arrival of the defeated troops from the front.

About five minutes later, rustling footsteps appeared directly in front of the blocking line. Then the footsteps became louder and louder, and changed from footsteps to shouts, footsteps, and kicks. Wails, even gunshots and other sounds were mixed together in a chaotic sound. This miserable, chaotic, and disorderly sound seemed very scary at the entrance of the streets and alleys that had already fallen into the night.

A few minutes later, He Wei saw the true appearance of these troops.

The endless team of countless officers and soldiers pushed forward along the road like a black cloud, pushing and running. After the beams of light from the searchlights of more than a dozen tanks hit, the team seemed to be under attack. Great resistance in general, reducing the forward speed.

Looking over, He Wei saw densely packed troops. Many of them were wearing German-made steel helmets. Some were holding medium-sized formal rifles, while others were holding Hanyang-made rifles that were very slender with bayonets attached. Some people were carrying Czech and Belgian-made FND light machine guns.

Of course, there are also many people who are simply unarmed soldiers with nothing in their hands, or heavy baggage soldiers carrying poles and baskets, as well as communication soldiers carrying heavy quilts and telephones.

Some of these troops who were defeated from the front were wearing gray cotton military uniforms, while others were wearing yellow woolen clothes. Among them were not only infantry, but also many mules and horses, most of which carried heavy machine guns on their backs. and mortars, and some were also dragging parts of Sulothong machine guns.

He Wei even saw a mule carrying a unique ieig18 mm infantry gun on its back. He Wei knew at a glance that this was a unit of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, because the country In the army, only the infantry artillery company of the infantry regiment of the teaching corps will be equipped with this kind of German imported infantry artillery.

There were also many sergeants and officers riding military horses mixed in the team. In such a crowded and crowded marching column, the horses made miserable whimpering sounds.

He Wei could tell at a glance that there were definitely more than one army in the crowded team in front of him, but he couldn't tell the difference at all, because the team was completely black and in chaos, and these soldiers Most of them were covered in blood, and their faces were all red and black colored by blood and gunpowder smoke. Almost everyone's eyes revealed fear and a desire for survival.

When the team suddenly encountered the light emitted by the tank's searchlight, the speed of its march also suddenly slowed down. The people in front watched the blocking troops set up in front with vigilance while advancing cautiously, while the people at the back of the team had no idea what was ahead. There were troops blocking them, constantly urging the people in front of the queue to speed up, and at the same time, they kept pushing and crowding forward. The result of this was that the entire team was even more chaotic.

He Wei stood on the chariot and watched the team advance slowly. When the two sides were a hundred meters away, He Wei suddenly raised the loudspeaker high and shouted loudly when placing orders with the battle command: "In front of you. Troops, all of them, stop advancing!"

"Stop!"

The officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion in the buildings on both sides and on the road shouted loudly together, and then, the officers and soldiers of the 78th Army Supplementary Brigade behind the special agent battalion also shouted together.

"Stop!"

The effect of more than two thousand people shouting together was quite powerful. The defeated troops on the opposite side were immediately shocked. Immediately, the soldiers in front of the defeated troops realized that something was wrong and lowered their motivation to advance. Speed, and after the officers and soldiers of the defeated troops walking at the front saw that the intersection had been blocked by several tanks and that the black machine gun muzzles on the tanks were facing them, their pace further decreased.

However, it only reduced the speed of advance. The eyes of these soldiers were blood red, and they also had a murderous aura. Just a few hours ago, this group of defeated officers and soldiers in embarrassment were still extremely brave warriors. There were bloody battles with the Japanese troops at various city walls, but now, after learning that their top commander abandoned his troops and fled, the first priority in the hearts of these once extremely brave officers and soldiers was no longer to fight to the death, but to retreat and survive. .

They used to be so brave and tenacious when fighting, but now they are so embarrassed and messy when they retreat.

Therefore, He Wei's loud shouts and the obstruction of rows of tanks failed to stop them, but only slowed down their forward speed.

I don’t know who took the lead in shouting. As they advanced, the officers and soldiers of these defeated troops suddenly began to scold and curse the officers and soldiers of the Special Agent Battalion and the 78th Army Supplementary Brigade.

"Fuck you, let me pass, I want to cross the river."

"A bunch of cowards. You are from the 36th Division. You losers. What the hell were you doing while I was fighting with the dog-hearted people in front? If you have sense, get out of the way and let us pass."

"All the people commanding from above have escaped. Give us a way to survive."

"Niang Niang, brothers, let's fight."

He Wei watched coldly from the chariot. Suddenly, he saw that among the excited officers and soldiers of the defeated army, someone actually picked up a weapon and wanted to fight. The defeated soldiers at the front also accelerated their speed, preparing to attack. He Wei immediately used a loudspeaker to shout to the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalions in the buildings on both sides: "First company, second company, shoot, use fire to stop them."

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, the two machine gun platoons of the First Infantry Company and the Second Infantry Company of the Secret Service Battalion on the roofs of the buildings on both sides opened fire. Six Sulotong machine guns opened fire at the same time. With the sound of banging gunfire, , a large number of bullets hit the front of the broken troops.

There was a burst of fierce shooting, and the dense machine gun bullets created a dusty bullet line on the road. The soldiers who were rushing forward saw that the blocking troops on the opposite side actually opened fire, and they did not dare to rush forward for a moment. , was blocked in front of the bullet line formed by this machine gun bullet.

The company commander of the tank company, Zhao Huzhen, also got out of the turret and shouted to the defeated soldiers in front: "Everyone in front of you, please stop. Are you infantry this group of useless trash? Stop all of them." I go back."

After Zhao Huzhen finished speaking, he got into the turret, raised the shooting angle of the machine gun on the turret, and then pulled the trigger. The two vehicle-mounted mg13 machine guns fired at the same time. Two fiery red tracer bullets drilled out of the barrel of the machine gun and rubbed against each other. The heads of the defeated soldiers flew into the sky.

Now the soldiers who were trying to force the attack were really frightened. There were machine guns upstairs and tanks in front of them. No one dared to take the risk and use their flesh and blood to push up.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, He Wei raised his loudspeaker and shouted: "Brothers, the garrison headquarters has left now. This is true, but the battle is not over yet. Currently, the military police headquarters is the highest command in the city. Organized, my unit was ordered to stop and sort out the defeated troops of each unit, now everyone listens to my order, stop advancing, and reorganize on the spot!"

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, several people from the broken troops rushed out and ran forward for more than ten meters. Inside, there was a warrant officer holding a shell gun and shouted at He Wei: "Fuck you, you f*ck" What is this thing? Make way for me, otherwise, I will..."

Before the man finished speaking, He Wei, who was standing on the chariot, sneered, glared, and immediately turned into an angry King Kong. He dropped the loudspeaker, took the flower machine gun from Tao Heiwa, and raised it. Just hit with your hands.

Da da da da da da

A string of bullets were fired, and the few reckless guys who rushed out were immediately sent to the west by He Wei. When the bullets in the magazine were empty, He Wei picked up the speed switch on his waist and fired three times.

砰

These three shots passed over the corpses and shot at the several defeated soldiers behind who were eager to take action. The guns hit and the bullets bit the flesh, knocking down three more defeated soldiers.

A burst of gunfire passed, and the defeated troops on the opposite side also became honest. The group of people looked at the corpses lying in a pool of blood in front of them, and they were a little scared. They did not expect that the troops blocking the retreat would really dare to Shooting to kill, many of the defeated soldiers rushing in front were suddenly shocked.

They want to survive, not take bullets from their own people.

At this time, He Wei threw away the gun again, raised the loudspeaker and shouted: "Brothers, I know you fought hard at the front line and fought hard. Now everyone just wants to find a way to survive for themselves, but This is not how you ask for a way out. Leaving your butt to the enemy will not lead to a way out. It can only lead to death. Only by surviving in death and continuing to fight the enemy desperately can you find a way out. I also admire all brothers who can fight like this on the front line. For a long time, now, if you want to survive, please stand at attention and stop moving forward."

"Stop!"

"Stand at attention, everyone, and put your guns away."

Fu Chen, commander of the first infantry company of the secret service battalion, and Fang Jingdu, commander of the second infantry company, who were upstairs, shouted along at the top of their lungs.

After a few of the early ones were killed, the matter became much easier to handle. After waves of persuasion from He Wei and others, the defeated troops finally stopped, and many soldiers also put away their weapons. And the restlessness and hostility that permeated the broken ranks also weakened, the chaotic ranks began to become orderly, and the restless soldiers began to become quiet.

All of this was seen by He Wei, so he further struck while the iron was hot and said: "Brothers, I am not stopping you. On the contrary, I am taking you out of the city. As long as everyone does not mess up and maintain order, we can find After my organization returned to my own army, I immediately organized everyone to leave the city, where there are ready-made fortifications and ships."

"I am not lying to you. I am following the orders of General Xiao, deputy commander of the military police. The military police headquarters is currently the highest and only command organization in the city. We will definitely lead everyone to fight for a way out, but if you want to fight, To find a way out, we can't mess up ourselves first. We ask all brothers to stand in a general team according to their own organizational structure. We ask the cadres and officers in the team to take the initiative to assume their responsibilities and gather the troops. We ask all brothers to send messages to the back and let each unit The top commanders came forward to command their respective troops."

He Wei's tone of voice gradually softened.

He Wei had killed someone just now, but now he slapped a sweet date and gave hope to the defeated soldiers with a gentle tone. The hostility and panic of the defeated soldiers was slowly weakened.

Therefore, the order of the broken troops was further stabilized. Some officers in the team also took the initiative to stand up and start to organize the team. He Wei's order-by-item orders were also implemented. Some officers were gathering the troops, and some officers were Send word back, looking for the top commanders of their respective units in the rout.

"Hurry up and gather here one after another."

"Members of the Second Machine Company, gather together, bring the horses over, and don't drop the machine gun's water tank."

"Hurry and find Tuan Fu."

About half an hour later, under the illumination of the tank's searchlight, three huge marching columns gradually appeared on the road. Until then, He Wei, who had been observing the situation on the tank, saw a mess. The defeated troops returned to what an army should be, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Across the way, the commander of our unit is here."

Suddenly, He Wei heard someone from the broken troops on the opposite side shouting over here. He followed the light of the tank's searchlight and saw a dozen generals in uniform in front of the three marching columns that had been formed after the troops had been reorganized. He Wei raised his eyes and looked at the officers in woolen military uniforms. He estimated that these people were senior officers in the team, so He Wei led the special agent platoon across the chariot and ran forward.

When he walked over, the first thing He Wei saw was an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Wang, is that you?"

What He Wei saw was Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division who had collaborated with him on the beheading plan not long ago, and Zhou Zhidao, the major general commander of the 151st Brigade of the 51st Division.

However, Wang Yaowu at this time was no better than he was then. He looked rather slovenly, with a beard on his mouth, and his military uniform was full of bloodstains. After Wang Yaowu saw He Wei, he grabbed He Wei's hand as if he were a relative. He held his hand and said with tears streaming down his face: "Brother, my troops were overwhelmed and dispersed."

"Sir, please be more specific."

Then, He Wei asked Wang Yaowu what happened. It turned out that after the retreat of the various units, there was no unified organization, so the order was very chaotic. Different military units competed with each other for retreat, and many units were dispersed. Therefore, That was the chaos that He Wei saw just now.

The 51st Division was no exception. When Wang Yaowu led the 51st Division to retreat, they collided with the retreating formations of the Teaching Corps, the 58th Division, the 87th Division and other units. They refused to give in and even got into fights with each other.

In the end, Wang Yaowu took only the entire 151st Brigade of the 51st Division and rushed towards Yijiangmen along this road. Another brigade of the 51st Division was involved in other troops and civilian refugees during the retreat. The defeated formation formed and lost contact with the 51st Division.

Later, misfortunes never come singly. The 151st Brigade, which Wang Yaowu directly commanded, was crowded with other troops on the way back. The troops were almost scattered and could not be commanded at all. Although Wang Yaowu tried his best to control the troops, all of them could not Being entangled together, even his superb command skills could not be used. Not to mention the radio station, even the messengers could not be sent out. Everyone was blocked on the road and rushed towards Yijiang Gate.

Therefore, Wang Yaowu felt a little sad for a moment when he saw that his carefully built troops were in such a situation but were helpless. He was inevitably a little excited after seeing He Wei.

He Wei felt relieved after learning the whole story. The situation of the defeated troops losing order just now was indeed terrible. Fortunately, he took action in time and got the situation under control. He Wei immediately comforted Wang Yaowu and told him that all the soldiers in the city were currently under control. There are troops near the gate to intercept the defeated troops just like the ones just now. The 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division that lost contact will definitely not collapse. As long as they retreat to Xianguan Pass, they will not be scattered and will definitely recover. Order and communication.

After He Wei's consolation, Wang Yaowu quickly returned to his usual state, and took He Wei to meet with the chief officers of several other units in the defeated army. This defeated army was mainly composed of three units. One was Wang Yaowu. The first division of the 51st Division, another division of the 74th Army, a brigade under the 58th Division, in addition to a part of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps that retreated from near Guanghua Gate.

After hearing this, He Wei was really a little frightened. The reason why he was frightened was because He Wei knew that these troops had very good combat effectiveness and good equipment. He saw many mortars and machine guns in the ranks of the defeated troops. Artillery and infantry artillery are the elite units of the Central Army. If he could not control the situation just now, causing the situation to worsen and even attack each other, then the losses would be huge.

"Hey, brother, let me introduce you to the commanders of other troops."

Wang Yaowu, who had stabilized his mood, quickly returned to his usual capable self, and expressed his gratitude to He Wei for commanding the organization to disrupt the order of the troops. Then, Wang Yaowu, who was all-rounded, pulled He Wei and walked in the direction of other generals and officers. He went and acted as a middleman, and the familiar He Wei introduced other officers.

"Hello, sir."

He Wei first saluted a dark-faced major general officer, and Wang Yaowu introduced at the side: "This is Brigadier Chen of the 58th Division."

Then, He Wei saw another officer with a Chinese character. Just as Wang Yaowu was about to introduce him, the officer took the lead and said, "I am Qiu Qingquan, chief of staff of the Major General of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps."

He Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, thinking that this person was the famous Qiu Qingquan, Crazy Qiu.

However, unlike the film and television image in He Wei's memory of the man holding a cigar, raising a wolfdog, often swearing, shouting to knock other people's sand jars, and occasionally saying something "high opinion", the Crazy Qiu in front of He Wei He had the feeling of a scholar, not a rough martial artist at all. Of course, there was a hint of cruelty and solemnity in his eyes.

However, He Wei didn't have time to pay homage to celebrities now. He just paid a military salute to Qiu Qingquan, and then introduced the current situation to the generals who had just escaped from danger.

When they learned that General Xiao and the Gendarmerie Headquarters had assumed the command responsibility of the garrison and that the pre-set defensive perimeter fortifications had been built near Xiaguan, these generals were all overjoyed, and He Wei told them the next arrangements.

According to the pre-arrangement, after the order is restored here, each unit must quickly move towards Yijiang Gate. After exiting Yijiang Gate, the military police unit responsible for maintaining order will further restore order to each unit. At the same time, all units will be ordered. The scattered troops and detained stragglers were allocated to various units according to their original organizational structures.

Then, the various units that have further restored order will be guided into predetermined defensive positions within the preset fortifications within the Xiaguan defense circle.

When Wang Yaowu and others learned the details, they all breathed a sigh of relief. These people were all veterans on the battlefield. Even though He Wei had already organized the defeated army and restored order just now.

In fact, this is just the beginning. Wang Yaowu and the others are not stupid. They know that the real key point is Xiaguan. If the area around Xiaguan is still a mess and without order, then the so-called restoration of order will be in vain. And I heard that there are people near Xiaguan. Gendarmerie guidance had been arranged in advance and ready-made fortifications had been built. Wang Yaowu and others were relieved.

After a brief introduction, He Wei didn't waste any time and immediately organized the retreat of the nearly 10,000 troops. He also contacted Li Qinruo, commander of the 78th Army's supplementary brigade behind them, and opened a passage on the road. In the end, the troops were defeated The troops who recovered from the state began to retreat in the order of the 51st Division, the 58th Division and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps.

With nearly 10,000 people, it was naturally not easy to organize the retreat of the troops who could barely restore order from the chaos. By the time the rear guard of the teaching corps moved towards Yijiangmen, it was already past four in the morning.

On the street, He Wei stood on the turret of the chariot, holding on to the lamppost on the side of the road. He looked at the guards of the teaching corps who were gradually going away. He felt like his boots had hit the ground. How about the consolidation and rectification work in other city gates and other places? He had no way of knowing, but at least in his own case, he prevented the main force of nearly 10,000 people from disintegrating and restored order.

And these elite main forces of the Central Army that have restored order will definitely play a corresponding role in the next battle.

"Batalion Commander, let's have something to eat."

Tao Heiwa, the little messenger next to He Wei, handed two bottles of Zhengguang soda and compressed biscuits to He Wei. He Wei, who had been making a fuss all night and suddenly realized that a big thing had been solved, naturally felt a little bit disappointed. Hungry, after taking the soda and biscuits, He Wei wolfed them down, and after He Wei finished two packages of biscuits and one package of soda.

Suddenly there was a burst of fierce gunfire nearby.

"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight!"

He Wei picked up his gun, jumped off the chariot, shouted to prepare for battle, and then said to Tao Heiwa: "Tell each company to prepare for battle, and let Yang Biao take the spy platoon to see what is going on. By the way, tell No matter how many Japanese troops there are, they should try not to fire first, not to alert the enemy, and not to fire unless they have to. After investigating the situation nearby, they should come back and report to me as soon as possible."

Soon, the brothers from the secret service platoon rode out on three-wheeled motorcycles to conduct reconnaissance. Less than five minutes later, the secret service platoon leader Yang Biao came back and reported the situation to He Wei.

"Battal Commander, I went to see it. It was either a large army or five or six Japanese soldiers who were shooting prisoners and civilians. The gunshots we heard just now were these gangsters who were shooting and killing people. When we arrived, Those prisoners and civilians have been swept away by the Japanese machine guns, and the three Japanese soldiers are now robbing a store on a nearby street."

"No sign of the Japanese army was found nearby."

Yang Biao reported the enemy information to He Wei one by one. He heard that there were only a few Japanese soldiers and there seemed to be no large troops around. He Wei estimated that they were just a few Japanese soldiers who rushed too hard. After a little thought, He Wei Immediately deciding to kill these Japs, Yang Biao and the soldiers of the special agent platoon were also gearing up to deal with these lone wild Japs.

"Battal Commander, I've looked around. There are no other Japs, just a few beasts. Lao Yang and my brothers must have pinched them with my hands, rounded them and flattened them."

Yang Biao kept asking He Wei to fight, and just as He Wei was about to give an order to deal with these Japs, suddenly, a thought flashed through him, and the battle order that He Wei was about to say came to his lips and was swallowed by him.

Then, He Wei said with a bit of a smirk: "When you go there, take the Rangers with you. It's best if they can do two jobs, or get some information from the Japs. Don't go up and kill them."

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a sinister smile: "I understand, battalion commander, I'll take those little carrot heads with me right now."

The special team that He Wei mentioned was actually a newly established unit of the Secret Service Battalion. To be precise, it was the Special Operations Team directly under the Secret Service Battalion. Its members were the same Japanese prisoners captured in Chunhua last time.

Since using these Japanese prisoners to successfully carry out the beheading mission in Chunhua, He Wei discovered that these prisoners who took refuge in him were indeed of great use.

Therefore, he specially set up a new unit to collect these Japanese soldiers who surrendered to him, and named it the Special Operations Team. The captain was naturally the highest-ranking former Japanese Army second lieutenant Kanjiro Nishi among the prisoners. Of course, he also There is a Chinese name - Liu Lu, and the remaining Japanese soldiers all serve as team members.
