Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Especially when facing the wolf-like counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, these little devil soldiers who have experienced the strength of this army countless times almost peed their pants.

At this moment, I was forced to retreat again and again, and there was nothing I could do except to be beaten.

The party that originally took the initiative to attack is now forced to defend.

But defense also needs to pay attention to strategy. A series of problems need to be solved, such as unified dispatching and command, width of defense line, firepower counterweight, areas responsible for each unit, and mutual coordination.

The order issued by the brigade is very simple, it is to ask all the troops to persevere, but they did not say how to persevere.

If the superior doesn't care, the subordinate will naturally be dissatisfied.

The Eighth Route Army's counterattack was carried out strictly in accordance with the order. After advancing the front line to fifty kilometers, it immediately stopped the pursuit and rearranged the defense.

In this way, the little devil troops who were being chased and beaten also gained a little time to survive. When the troops took a temporary rest, several regiment leaders discussed it and immediately reached a consensus.

Can't fight anymore.

Fujiwara Kujo was missing, and only one staff officer was left. Those guys in the brigade and regiment headquarters were completely at ease, completely ignoring the life and death of the frontline troops.

Although the Eighth Route Army has temporarily stopped its offensive, who knows if it is ready to go, what if it is ready and launches a more violent attack?

Just relying on these remnant soldiers and defeated generals, they are powerless to resist at all, the defeat is already settled, and if they continue to fight, they will just die in vain.

Now that you have decided not to fight, what are you still doing on the battlefield?

The captains of the several regiments combined together, did not do anything, and simply retreated across the board.

In order to avoid being accused of fleeing due to fear of war, several regiment captains discussed and decided not to return to their respective garrisons, but to return to Xing County together, and asked Fujiwara Kujo to come forward to explain the problem of unmanned command operations.

This is equivalent to transferring the responsibility to Fujiwara Kujo.

Just do it, and before the Eighth Route Army started to attack, the four regiments under the Fujiwara brigade assembled the remaining troops and marched towards Xingxian in a mighty way.

The little devils retreated across the board!

This news was also quickly transmitted back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at all levels.

Don't fight now?

Faced with this sudden situation, the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army were a little puzzled.

According to past experience, it is either to fight or to drop, and everything has omens.

And although the little devil is currently at a disadvantage, he is obviously not at the end of his rope, so he retreated like this?

When this battle started, both the enemy and us were fully prepared, but it ended a bit too hastily.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the headquarters at all levels, and the chiefs started arguing about the next battle.

Some people think that this opportunity should be used to launch a pursuit and completely annihilate the enemy.

There are also people who think that they should stop as soon as they are good, and that strengthening the defense line to prevent the little devils from raiding again is the most important thing.

Both sides have their own reasons, and no one can convince the other.

In the end, Commander Liu of the [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army personally issued orders to the troops.

All front-line troops are required to allocate small units to follow the enemy for investigation, to find out the whereabouts of the little devils and the intention of a sudden retreat.

All troops are required to strengthen their defenses to prevent the enemy from suddenly counterattacking.

The front-line combat troops are required to count ammunition supplies, start supplementary logistics work, and be ready to launch a general offensive at any time.

After a few orders, the headquarters at all levels immediately became quiet, and one after another began to get busy.

Allocating ammunition, treating the wounded, and replenishing troops, there is a lot of work to be done.

Although the staff officer suspected that Fujiwara Kujo was running away when he saw the situation was not good, he had no evidence.

Although Fujiwara Kujo is not around, the remaining prestige is still there. Although the staff officer has become the actual person in charge of the Fujiwara brigade, he dare not really regard himself as the brigade leader. He can only stay in the staff department and pray silently that the front line will not What happened.

But sometimes the more you fear something, the more it will come. Before the staff officer has figured out what to do next, the soldiers in charge of the brigade's security work rush to report: "Sir, it's not good, the frontline troops have mutinied!"

The word mutiny is nothing less than a devastating disaster for any army.

The staff officer was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. If he hadn't supported the table with his hands, he wouldn't be able to stand at this moment.

"Wh... what? Wow... mutiny?"

The staff officer stammered and asked, his face instantly turned pale.

"Yoshioka Regiment, Harada Regiment, Kobayashi Regiment, and Takahashi Regiment, they have all withdrawn, and now they have entered Xingxian County, heading towards the brigade headquarters, shouting for the brigade commander to give They have a saying."

The soldier's body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Let the guards withdraw to the headquarters, put everyone in the headquarters on standby, block all entrances and exits, if someone trespasses, no matter who it is, shoot and kill!"

The staff officer clenched his fists and issued the first real order.

Chapter 640 Staff Officer's Self-Esteem

"Sir, do you mean to kill even our own people?"

The little devil soldier stared wide-eyed in horror, looked at the staff officer in disbelief and asked.

Isn't it at war with the Eighth Route Army?Why are their own people going to fight now?

"Yes, all those who trespassed on the command post will be shot and killed regardless of the reason. Hurry up and deliver the order."

The staff officer said without hesitation.

After the soldiers left, the staff officer slumped on the chair as if he had collapsed, gasping for breath.

Raising his hand to wipe his forehead, his hands were covered in cold sweat.

If a fight really broke out, the guards alone would not be able to last long. The most urgent task is to prevent the troops from attacking the headquarters.

After sorting out his thoughts, the staff officer stood up abruptly and ran towards his residence as fast as he could.

He didn't know how things would end today. To be on the safe side, he had to prepare for the worst.

Rushing into the bedroom, the staff officer closed the door and dragged out two heavy suitcases from under his bed.

Each suitcase is one meter long and eighty centimeters wide. Just the effort it takes to drag it out makes him almost collapse.

He took out a bunch of keys from his close pocket, and carefully opened the lock on the suitcase.

When the lid was lifted, a golden light immediately filled the whole room.

The box is densely packed, all of which are neatly arranged gold bars.

Opening another suitcase, it was exactly the same inside, full of gold bars.

The staff officer didn't have the wealth-raising skills of Fujiwara Kujo, and he couldn't even imagine the treasure that could fill three trucks.

The two suitcases of gold bars in front of him were obtained secretly by him after he occupied Xing County, carrying Fujiwara Kujo on his back, and they belonged to him.

Stretching out his hands to press the gold bar, the cold feeling penetrated his palms and instantly hit his whole body.

The staff officer's originally uneasy heart calmed down a lot because of this coldness.

As long as he has these things in his hands, he will not be afraid of big troubles. At worst, he can hide his name and live well in another place.

After confirming that there was no problem with his gold bars, the staff officer pushed the two suitcases back under the bed with great effort, got up and patted the dirt on his hands, opened the door and walked out.

He called his guards and ordered them to guard the door and not let anyone in.

Then, he transferred a small car to park in the yard, so that he could take him away at any time in case of an accident.

After completing these preparations, the staff officer walked towards the gate of the headquarters.

At this time, the headquarters of the Fujiwara Brigade was completely under martial law, all the entrances and exits were equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, and all the soldiers were armed with live ammunition, as if they were facing an enemy.

The outside of the headquarters has become a mess. Several regimental captains led their troops and blocked the entire street. There are dense figures in the distance, and it is hard to see how many people there are.

As soon as he saw this scene, the staff officer knew that all the troops sent to the front line to fight might have withdrawn.

"Yoshioka Takuma, what are you doing at the headquarters if you're not staying at the front line? Don't you know that you are not allowed to return to the camp without an order during the war?"

The staff officer took over the loudspeaker held by his subordinates, and shouted at Takuma Yoshioka, the captain of the Yoshioka United Regiment, who was standing at the front.

As soon as he spoke, the noisy scene immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to him.

The staff officer was very satisfied with the feeling of being watched by everyone, as if at this moment he was the commander in chief of the world.

After clearing his throat, the staff officer continued to shout: "And you, Harada Hiroki, Kobayashi Fuji, Takahashi Taizora, are you guys going to rebel too? I'll give you 10 minutes and take your Go back to the front line, or I will use the military law."

These words were very domineering, and the staff officer himself couldn't remember how long it had been since he had spoken to others in such a tone.

Although he, like Fujiwara Kujo, has the rank of Dazuo, but in terms of rank, he is one level lower than Fujiwara Kujo.

So all along, he has been living in the shadow of Fujiwara Kujo, always submissive, not even daring to breathe, like a grandson.

At this moment, he felt that he had stood up, that his back was straightened all of a sudden, and that he could no longer take anyone seriously.

But it's a pity that all this is just his own feeling, and others may not buy it.

"Taro Eguchi, don't show your prestige there, ask the head of the Fujiwara brigade to come out, and explain to us why there is no one commanding this battle? Why do you want the soldiers of the empire to die in vain?"

Yoshioka Takuma rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the staff officer's nose, and called him by his first name.

"That's right, ask the head of the Fujiwara brigade to come out, we need an explanation, Taro Eguchi, it's not your turn to speak on this occasion!"

Several other captains also shouted.

Obviously, the staff officer's proclamation did not scare anyone except himself.

The captains of the regiment are all in the rank of lieutenant assistant, and they are lower than the staff officer in terms of rank and rank.

Usually when they saw the staff officer, they would take the initiative to bow and say hello, but today, they no longer took this superior seriously.

Since there is going to be trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better. It is best that Fujiwara Kujo can't solve it.

In this way, the superiors will not trouble them when they are held accountable.

Looking at these group captains who usually nodded and bowed to him, they were so stubborn at this time, and they didn't even take themselves seriously.

The momentum that the staff officer had finally built up was shattered in an instant, and the breath stuck in his throat, and he almost fainted.

"You... do you know the consequences of doing this now? Are you all dying?"

After he regained his breath, the staff officer was trembling with anger. If he was not worried that the trouble would get out of hand, he really wanted to order to shoot and kill these regiment captains right now.

"Taro Eguchi, don't scare us with military law there. What are you doing when we people are working hard on the front line? You, a guy who can only lick the ass of the commander of the Fujiwara brigade, what right do you have to stand there and point fingers? Get out of here Go aside and ask the head of the Fujiwara brigade to come out."

Yoshioka Takuma didn't care about the staff officer's threat at all, and jumped onto a stone platform by the roadside and shouted.
