Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

"Uh..."

Qiao Lin's eyes rolled quickly, looking for an excuse.

When he saw Li Yunlong's expression, he knew that he had said something wrong in some respects.

The others also looked at Li Yunlong with strange faces, not understanding why he cares about this matter.

Especially Zhang Dabiao, he had followed Li Yunlong for many years, and it was the first time he heard that this old leader had the ability to single out ten or eight little devils.

"Captain, actually I regretted it the moment I jumped in. Who are you, let alone a few little devils, even if you come to a squadron of little devils, you can wipe them out while talking and laughing, or else Saying that you are the head of the regiment and I am the guard, my thinking is still too one-sided, I can't consider the overall situation, and I will learn more from you in the future."

Qiao Lin's reaction was so fast, before Li Yunlong could speak again, the flattery was like a howitzer, blasting away sentence after sentence.

Although he wasn't sure if it was Li Yunlong who disliked him and said he was kidnapped by a little devil, but it wouldn't hurt to say more good things if he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face.

"Ah, ah, Qiao Lin, what you said is that our Eighth Route Army is a pragmatic army, and we don't engage in those empty-headed things. If you have meat, you have to bury it in the bottom of the bowl. You can't show off everything. It's not good! "

Li Yunlong's face-changing speed was quite fast. He was still stern-faced in the last second, but in the blink of an eye he had become a flower, and he became hypocritically modest.

"Regimental Commander, these are all from my heart. There is absolutely no exaggeration. It is precisely because our Eighth Route Army is pragmatic that we should tell the truth."

Knowing that he had chosen the right path, Qiaolin threw a few more smoke bombs.

"Hehe, you kid, you are just too honest and hard working. Well, you have a future!"

Li Yunlong crossed his legs, and the corners of his mouth reached below his ears.

Listening to the two people's commercial praise, the audience in the room felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their toes were so embarrassing that they almost scratched the soles of their shoes.

Especially deputy head Kong Jiekong, seeing Li Yunlong's smiling face, felt the urge to step forward and punch him.

People can be thick-skinned, but is it too much to be so thick?

Li Yunlong, you are the head of the regiment. Is it really appropriate to accept the guard's flattery in front of the big guy?

And you, Qiao Lin, isn't it guilty for a guard to flatter his superiors so openly?

This is what everyone has been thinking.

Looking at the bright smiling faces of the two, Zhang Dabiao was thoughtful.

Over the years, I followed Li Yunlong on the saddle, but I was scolded more often than praised, probably because I didn't choose the right strategy.

A farce started in an accident and ended in flattery.

The venue was also moved from the house to the yard.

Looking at the window that had been knocked out with a big hole, Kong Jie moved closer to observe it curiously.

Finding that the height of the window sill had reached his chest, he imagined that if he let himself jump, he might not be able to jump that high, and even if he could jump that high, he would have to be stuck on the window.

Qiaolin can smash open the window and jump into the room at once, what a strong jumping ability.

"Captain, what happened to call me back in such a hurry?"

After returning to normal order, Qiao Lin couldn't wait to ask.

As soon as business was mentioned, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.

Li Yunlong spread the map on the ground, pointed to a location and said, "Actually, you guessed partly correctly, someone was indeed kidnapped."

Qiao Lin looked down, and there was the word Qiao Zhuang printed on Li Yunlong's finger.

He was not very familiar with the surrounding terrain, especially this Qiaozhuang, which he had never heard of. It didn't seem like the Eighth Route Army was stationed there.

However, according to the coordinates marked on the map, this Qiaozhuang is about [-] kilometers away from the independent regiment headquarters.

"The person being held hostage is not me, but the people of Qiaozhuang."

Li Yunlong sighed, and there was already an angry look on his face.

"The common people were held hostage? Did the little devil do it?"

Jolin scratched his head, this was completely different from what he had expected.

"Damn it, these little devils can't compete with our Eighth Route Army in a war, so they go to the common people, a bunch of people who don't grow, and can only do some shady things."

Li Yunlong punched the ground and cursed loudly.

It can be seen that this incident made him very angry.

The more Qiao Lin listened, the more confused he became. What happened to make Li Yunlong so angry?

"That's what happened. Last night, the little devil Yamazaki Brigade suddenly raided the area under the jurisdiction of the [-]th Brigade. The Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the [-]nd Regiment exchanged fire with the enemy and repelled the Yamazaki Brigade. The [-]nd Brigade When the regiment was pursuing, a squadron of little devils entered Qiaozhuang, where no Eighth Route Army troops were stationed, so they took the whole village hostage..."

Seeing Qiao Lin's confused face, Kong Jie took the initiative to explain the incident to him.

It turned out that after this group of little devils entered Qiaozhuang, they were surrounded by the two battalions of the Seventh Seventh Regiment and the New First Regiment. However, because the enemy held the people hostage, the Eighth Route Army did not rush to attack.

This morning, the Yamazaki Battalion, which had fled back after being defeated, issued a statement to the Eighth Route Army, demanding that the two battalions surrounding Qiaozhuang retreat. Taking into account the safety of the people, the brigade headquarters ordered the two battalions to retreat [-] kilometers.

But the Yamazaki Brigade refused to stop there, and continued to put forward conditions, requiring all the units under the [-]th Brigade to retreat [-] kilometers to the west within two days, otherwise they would massacre the people of Qiaozhuang.

After listening to Kong Jie's explanation, Qiao Lin finally figured out what happened.

In fact, in the records of war history, the little devils did not do little to slaughter the village, but the Jinling massacre is more famous because of the huge number of victims.

In the entire war, the number of innocent people killed by the little devils was far more than that of the Jinling Massacre.

"Damn it!"

Jolin cursed.

As long as it was about the little devil harming the people, his anger would rise up.

"Qiao Lin, you can control yourself, now is not the time to let your temper run wild."

Seeing Qiao Lin's expression, Li Yunlong immediately remembered the ambush of the devil cavalry last time.

He was worried that Qiao Lin would be impulsive again, so he quickly stood up and held him back.

"I'm fine, Commander."

Qiao Lin took two deep breaths and forcibly restrained his anger.

"You kid has a lot of ideas, and that's why I called you back. Let's see if you have any suggestions."

Only then did Li Yunlong express his intention to call Qiao Lin back to the regiment headquarters urgently.

"Have you decided now?"

Jolin asked.

"Not yet. The matter is very important. No one dares to make a decision without authorization. They are all waiting for the order from the brigade headquarters."

Li Yunlong shook his head, he was also very helpless.

Hundreds of lives in Qiaozhuang are in the hands of the little devil, and a slight mistake will lead to tragedy.

Chapter 460 The Fifth Unsolvable Game of Chess

It was about the deployment of the [-]th Brigade and even the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, and Li Yunlong did not dare to make his own claims.

Being unable to do anything does not mean that he is not in a hurry, so after receiving the news, he immediately called the commanders of the independent regiment to the regiment headquarters to discuss countermeasures.

"Let me look at the map first."

The situation was a bit complicated, at least at the moment Qiao Lin couldn't think of any effective solution. Looking at Li Yunlong and the others whose eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, Qiao Lin understood that they were no less worried than himself.

"The little devil wants to use Qiao Zhuang as a bargaining chip to let us completely give up the territory in Northwest Shanxi. He is vicious!"

After squatting on the ground and carefully studying the layout on the map, Qiao Lin sighed.

"Who said it wasn't? The little devil has understood our battle deployment research this time."

Li Yunlong also squatted down, pointed to the map and said: "Although the Yamazaki Battalion apparently asked the [-]th Brigade to withdraw [-] kilometers westward, but they can mobilize their whole body. Once the [-]th Brigade moves, the layout of the Eighth Route Army will be directly disrupted. "

"That's right, one hundred kilometers to the west, we will enter the border of Qinling Mountains, and the battlefield in Northwest Shanxi will be completely vacated. The defense line of the [-]th Brigade and the teaching regiment will be cut off, almost useless. The [-]th Division will not be able to pose a threat to the little devil."

Kong Jie also came over and said.

It seems that everyone already knows what the consequences will be if they agree to the little devil's request.

"Occupy Northwest Shanxi first to achieve the goal of engulfing North China, use it as a security base, and then increase troops to Central China and South China, and gradually eat away, so as to realize the ambition of occupying the whole country."

Qiao Lin stared at the map and said thoughtfully.

Everyone who was still angry turned their heads and looked at Qiao Lin in surprise.

It's not that everyone present has no strategic vision. For example, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have also considered this point.

But no one thought that Qiao Lin, a small guard, could see so far in a raid by a little devil.

"No, you can't compromise. If you take this step back, there will be no way forward."

Before everyone asked Qiao Lin how he saw the real intention of the little devil, he shook his head again and said with certainty.

"We all know this, but the key is what should the people of Qiaozhuang do? We are the people's army, not war madmen. We can't just watch hundreds of innocent people die for the sake of victory."

Li Yunlong patted his thigh and said.

This is also the place where everyone feels aggrieved the most.

Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army lagged behind that of the little devil, there were two battalions surrounding Qiaozhuang. It was not difficult to eat the squadron of the little devil, and the [-]th brigade attacked, and it was no problem to take down the Yamazaki brigade.

The question is what should the people of Qiaozhuang do?

As long as the Eighth Route Army dared to launch an attack, the little devil would immediately massacre the village, no one doubted that.

Just like what Li Yunlong said, one cannot just watch people die for the sake of victory.

The current situation is obvious, Qiao Zhuang's little devil squadron is already the top dog, and Yamazaki's squadron is completely blocked from the encirclement.

It is not difficult to win this battle, the problem is that it cannot be fought.

The little devil obviously knows the principles and discipline of the Eighth Route Army very well, so he has no fear in taking hostages as threats.

Because they concluded that the Eighth Route Army would not dare to attack, they repeatedly made various demands.

Surrounding Qiaozhuang were the Xinyi Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment. Judging from the battle situation, this incident had no direct connection with the Independent Regiment.

The task of blocking the sweep of the Yamazaki Brigade has ended, and it is not yet the turn of the independent group to intervene in the rescue of the hostages.

Compared with the independent regiment headquarters that was anxious to get angry, Qiao Lin believed that the pressure on the brigade headquarters was greater.

On one side are hundreds of innocent people, and on the other side is the base area where countless Eighth Route Army soldiers paid for their lives.
