The opening of the bright sword leads a battalion

Chapter 87
In the dark tunnel.

Slipping into the tunnel, Chu Qi turned left and right, stopped before a fork, and touched the wall.

On the dirt wall, there are rows of marks.Each row of marks corresponds to the tunnel in this direction and the place leading to it.

Chu Qi touched it, and finally, he was sure that there was a target he wanted to go in one of the rows of marks. He made a little identification, chose a narrow hole in three directions, and got in.

And after passing through this narrow cave for a long time...

The space in the cave suddenly became spacious, and at the same time, there were whispers of soldiers.

As soon as he got out of the burrow, Chu Qi was tripped to the ground immediately, but after he made a sound, the person who tripped him quickly asked:

"battalion commander?"

Feeling the weakening of the pressure on his back, Chu Qi got up, patted his clothes, and said:
"Hmm... so it's Xiuying, she's fine, she's very vigilant."

On the other side, Yang Xiuying smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.

But Chu Qi's deputy battalion commander heard the voice and hurried over. In the darkness, they could hardly see each other clearly and could only be distinguished by the voice.

"Commander, are you back?"

The deputy battalion commander came forward and asked.

Hearing this, Chu Qi gave an "um" and then asked:

"How is the situation of the soldiers, most of them have withdrawn here?"

"It should be that most of them have returned. It's too dark here, so I can't count. However, many soldiers from our first battalion have come here, and the second and third battalions seem to be in a bad situation."

The deputy battalion commander said.

After hearing this, Chu Qi was silent for a long while, and finally, he sighed.

The second battalion and the third battalion, after all, are troops established according to the standards of the main regiment, and the training requirements for the soldiers must be much lower than those of the main regiment.

Usually, if it is the busy season of farming, the soldiers of the cadre regiment will take the initiative to go to the fields to help the villagers grow food, so naturally they will have no time to train.

And the second battalion and the third battalion... just happened to be such a unit, and they had only been formed for half a year, so their combat effectiveness was not very strong.

But this time, the second battalion and the third battalion were going head-to-head with the Sakata United... This caused the soldiers who were inexperienced to suffer heavy casualties and suffered a lot in the battle.

Originally, the soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion had already suffered heavy losses in the previous positional battle...

But tonight, the soldiers encountered another night attack by the devils. Although they had been prepared, the second and third battalions still suffered heavy casualties.Lack of training, they are not very proficient in hand-to-hand combat taught by Chu Qi.

Not to mention, these fighters are also very deficient in nutrition.

"Well, I can only wish them luck."

Chu Qi said with a sigh.

In fact, this is the normal state that soldiers have to face in the real war of resistance.

If Chu Qi hadn't crossed over, then his first battalion would probably be as weak as the second and third battalions.

After sighing, Chu Qi heard:

"That being said, have any soldiers in our battalion come into contact with the reinforcements? According to theory, the reinforcements should also arrive. At this moment, they should send a signal to inform us."

Hearing this, the deputy battalion commander replied:
"It is true. A soldier from our battalion just came back. He said that he has received the signal from the reinforcements."

"Which army came to support?" Chu Qi was curious.

After hearing this, the deputy battalion commander took a deep breath, with a little excitement in his tone.

After guarding here for three days and four nights, they finally waited for reinforcements on the fourth night. This is definitely great news for the soldiers whose nerves are constantly tense on the battlefield.

So the deputy battalion commander was also very excited, and at the same time, very happy.

I saw him with a serious expression, as if this was a very big thing, and the process was full of ritual.

He said:
"The ones who came to support are Xinyituan."

"It was led by the head of the regiment, Ding Wei, and more than 3000 fighters from the Xinyi Regiment all came."

……

……

While Chu Qi was talking to the deputy battalion commander, on the ground.

The Bantian Wing, including various logistics personnel and artillery and other special arms, originally had more than 3000 people.Although it can't be compared with the "elite among devils" in the past, among the many regiments behind North China, their combat effectiveness is also ranked high.

However, since the battle between the Bantian Alliance and Chu Qi three days ago, the soldiers in the alliance have been continuously consumed by the Eighth Route Army. Today, the number of soldiers in the alliance has dropped to more than 400.

After hearing the news, Staff Officer Yamada felt very heartbroken for a while. After all, this Chu Qi was really too difficult to deal with, and the casualties caused to Sakata United were too great.

So at this moment, Yamada himself also walked out of the tent where he had lived in for many days, and came to the battlefield, constantly urging the soldiers to fight, hoping to reduce casualties in this way.

But, urging and urging, Yamada originally brandished his Sakan sword, urging the devils to enter the tunnel in groups, to clear the eight roads that were hiding...

Suddenly, the second lieutenant beside him pulled Yamada's sleeve and pointed to the back of Yamada.

Seeing this, Yamada was puzzled.He turned his head to look, only to find that beside the tent of the command post where he usually lived, a pile of flames had ignited at some point.

The Alpine Squadron guarding the command post was trying to put out the flames in a panic at this moment, but with great difficulty, the flames were extinguished.

Seeing this scene, Yamada breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a big accident, but it was just a fire.

But the next moment...

There was a sound of "boom--", from nowhere, the sound of the mortar suddenly exploded, and a shell fell on the top of the command post, and exploded immediately.

The tent of the command post was destroyed in an instant, and even many soldiers of the Alpine Squadron around were injured.

Seeing this scene, how could Yamada not know that he was almost taken away with the command post?He wiped his forehead, and at some point, it was covered in cold sweat.

And this cannonball seems to be just a signal...

As the shells exploded, the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment roared and rushed towards the tent of the command post. Along the way, the soldiers of the Gaoshan Squadron were unstoppable, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were invincible.

Around Weishui Village, there was continuous gunshots and shouts of killing. At this moment, Staff Officer Yamada felt that he was surrounded by all sides, but he was surrounded without knowing it?
There were two more "plop" and "puff"...

Two signal flares rose far away, illuminating the night, at the entrance of the tunnel, Chu Qi led the soldiers of the independent regiment of the military sub-district, and followed them.

After bumping into Yamada, Chu Qi recognized that this was the lieutenant who took over from Sakata to command the devils when he was in Cangyunling.

In the TV series, Chu Qi also saw this devil.

"Hey, is that you?"

After recognizing the devil, Chu Qi wondered.

Chu Qi was even more amazed when he saw the command post of the Japanese Army Alliance that was destroyed by artillery fire in the distance.

——This devil is so lucky that he escaped two shellings?
Chu Qi couldn't help laughing, and at the same time he waved his hand.

"Come on, this time, don't let this lieutenant escape."

Hearing this, Yang Xiuying at the side led a group of soldiers and immediately rushed forward.
