Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

But the deputy commander-in-chief understood that Qiao Lin was more interested in the independent regiment than the headquarters, and he probably really didn't want to do that.

Since this is the case, the deputy commander-in-chief will not force others to do what he wants, so he simply pushes the boat along and doesn't mention this matter anymore.

It's just that he felt a little regretful in his heart, and felt that with Qiao Lin's ability, it was a bit of a shame to stay in the independent group. He should have a broader stage.

An independent group will not always be an independent group, and Li Yunlong cannot always be the head of the group.

As for Qiao Lin, a bodyguard, it is naturally impossible to work for a lifetime.

Maybe when the right time came, Qiao Lin would make a change by himself without trying to convince him.

The deputy commander is not a person who will be troubled by emotions, he quickly figured out the key points and laughed it off.

"Everyone has his own aspirations, so I won't try to persuade you to change your mind anymore. I believe that no matter what position you are in, you will do a great job."

Before the topic ended, the deputy commander said another word in an encouraging tone.

"Thank you, I will!"

Qiao Lin was also very grateful for not being embarrassed.

In addition to this matter, there are still many topics that can be discussed between the two.

The affairs of the independent regiment, the affairs of the various garrisons, the training of the cavalry company, etc., are many, many.

Before I knew it, two hours passed, and the time came to nine o'clock at night.

"Cavalry company, get ready to go!"

Following Sun Desheng's order, the soldiers of the cavalry company mounted their horses and lined up one after another, guarding the deputy commander in the middle again, and marched towards the southwest of Yangqu City.

The closer they were to Yangqu City, the greater the danger, and they might encounter the little devil's patrolling troops.

In order to avoid face-to-face encounters with the enemy, the cavalry company adjusted its way of marching during the day.

In addition to sending the reconnaissance squad to explore the way ahead, the fifth platoon was also sent out separately, keeping a distance of 500 meters on the flanks of the team, and advancing at the same time as the large troops.

In this way, if a large force encounters an emergency, the fifth platoon can rush over for reinforcements in a surprise attack at any time.

Although it is a detour, there are not many routes to choose from, especially in the southwest direction. There are only two roads leading to Xin County.

One of them needs to enter the mountains on the west side. If you take this road, the distance will increase by nearly [-] kilometers.

The safety of the deputy commander is important, but it is also important to meet the headquarters working group at the scheduled time.

If the deputy commander-in-chief fails to meet with the headquarters working group at the scheduled time, it may disrupt the original plan of the headquarters, and may even cause a chain reaction, with disastrous consequences.

Out of this consideration, after discussing with the deputy commander in chief, Qiao Lin decided to go another way.

This road is less than three kilometers away from the nearest point of Yangqu City. In addition to the possibility of encountering the patrol troops of the little devils, there is also the possibility of being discovered by the enemies watching on the city wall. It can be said that there are many obstacles.

Along the way, the soldiers were all in high spirits. The closer they got to Yangqu City, the slower the troop marched.

The five fighters in the reconnaissance squad will return to report on the reconnaissance in turn every one minute.

In order to avoid meeting the little devil, the troops even stopped three times on the way, just to wait for the little devil's patrol to pass by.

Although it was night, the realization was not so clear, but the voice of the little devil could be heard at the closest distance.

This feeling is very uncomfortable for everyone, and there will be an inexplicable urge to rush out and fight the enemy.

But the overall situation is the most important thing, everyone still forcibly suppressed this impulse.

It took nearly four hours to complete a road that was less than ten kilometers long, so it was safe and sound.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they were finally out of the fire range of the little devils in Yangqu City.

Next, as long as we proceed normally, we should have no problem arriving in Xin County before noon tomorrow.

"When you return, you should be more careful!"

Although the deputy commander-in-chief was guarded in the middle of the team, he could feel how nervous he was just now. Thinking that the cavalry company would have to go back the same way after he arrived in Xin County, he gave Qiao Lin a word.

"Deputy Commander, don't worry, it won't be so troublesome when you go back."

Qiao Lin said casually, not taking this exhortation seriously.

However, the deputy commander-in-chief heard the implication, and immediately put on a straight face: "Qiao Lin, don't be like Li Yunlong, who dares to do anything when you get hot. You and the cavalry company are far more important to our Eighth Route Army. The little devils in Qucheng are much more important, and a good outline can be used wisely, do you know what it means to put jade in pieces rather than tiles?"

"Yes, deputy commander-in-chief, I remember, I will be careful."

Jolin said angrily.

Chapter 670 IX Was Killed by War

His idea is actually quite simple. After the deputy commander is safely sent to Xin County, the cavalry company will be much more relaxed.

Passing through Yangqu City on the way back, even if you meet little devils, you don't have to worry about it, at worst, you just have to fight them.

A little devil from the regiment, with the strength of the cavalry company, still has the confidence to touch it.

Besides, Yangqu City is so big, it will take time for the little devils to assemble their troops, enough for the cavalry company to wipe out the patrolling troops outside the city, and then quickly withdraw.

But the deputy commander obviously saw through Qiao Lin's thoughts. He felt that there was no need for the little devils in Yangqu City to let the cavalry company take this risk.

A regiment is not a brigade. Just because a cavalry company can wipe out a brigade of little devils doesn't mean it can wipe out a regiment.

What's more, the little devil brigade that was wiped out in the base area did not carry any heavy weapons, and the difficulty of fighting was much lower.

But there is nothing in Yangqu City, there are guns if you want guns, and guns if you want guns.

Under the cover of heavy firepower, can the cavalry company retreat completely?

What a pity that such a group of well-trained soldiers suffered casualties?It's not a must fight.

The cavalry company is just a piece of precious jade, and the little devils in Yangqu City are just a pile of broken tiles.

It is meaningless to use precious jade to touch broken tiles.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the cavalry company can defeat a regiment of little devils and capture Yangqu City, so what?

It is the same as whether or not Xing County needs to be attacked. With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, even if it is defeated, there will be no more troops to guard it.

"Did you really listen?"

Seeing that Qiao Lin agreed so happily, the deputy commander couldn't help being a little suspicious.

Because of this face, he has also seen it on Li Yunlong.

Guaranteed this, guaranteed that, said a lot of beautiful words, turned around and did what to do.

"I really listened to it."

Qiao Lin is also helpless, he is not Li Yunlong, he will definitely do what he says, why don't he believe it.

"That's the best. Don't make me angry. If you dare to violate discipline, I will order you to be transferred to the headquarters as a clerk in the name of the headquarters."

The deputy commander who still had three points of doubt threatened Qiao Lin again.

"Yes!"

Jolin replied weakly.

The speed of marching at night is relatively slow, and riding on horseback is similar to walking. Finally, I stopped to rest for a while, and let the army horse eat some weeds on the side of the road. no.

The night sky is full of stars, indicating that tomorrow will be a good day.

But at dawn, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and then, the sky that had already revealed the light of dawn suddenly darkened, and the surroundings became pitch black again, entering the darkness before dawn.

The sudden change of weather gave Qiao Lin a vague premonition that something was about to happen.

But the soldiers remained vigilant, and the reconnaissance team did not find anything unusual.

Qiao Lin didn't have much to say, so he could only keep his uneasiness in his heart, and leaned closer to the deputy commander.

Soon after, the sky gradually brightened, the stars failed to bring clear weather, and layers of dark clouds piled up in the sky, as if it was going to rain.

Because he was worried that the rain might affect the speed of the march, Qiao Lin suggested that the troops speed up.

In case of rain, it can also make up for the delayed time and arrive in Xin County within the scheduled time.

The sky has always been gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain, but the rain never fell.

The whole morning, Qiao Lin survived in a very nervous state.

The deputy commander-in-chief also seemed to have sensed something, and his expression was serious along the way, and he hardly took the initiative to talk to Qiao Lin.

At noon, the troops finally arrived in Xin County before the scheduled time.

Next, as long as the deputy commander-in-chief and the headquarters working group meet smoothly, the mission of Qiao Lin and the cavalry company will be considered complete.

Xin County is a dilapidated small county, not even as prosperous as some villages and towns.

Years of wars have led to the collapse of this county. In order to avoid the war, the people who used to live here have moved their families. Today, the population of the county is only a few thousand people, most of whom are living in poverty and have nowhere to go. people.

It is precisely for this reason that the little devil did not garrison troops in Xin County, where not only the population is small, but also the supplies are extremely scarce.

The little devils launched the aggression to make money and gain benefits, and places like Xin County are obviously not the targets they would consider.

Sending troops to occupy this place requires a large amount of supplies to support it, and this is not a strategic location, so they won't do business that loses money.

This is also the reason why the deputy commander and the headquarters working group chose to meet here. It is precisely because of poverty that this place is safer.

There was not even a restaurant in the county town, so Qiao Lin had no choice but to give up his plan to find a place to eat here. The soldiers rode on horseback, gnawed on their own steamed buns, and rushed across the county town to the meeting point.

There are almost no people on the empty streets, and occasionally people appear. When they see a team riding a horse and carrying a gun, their first reaction is to find a place to hide.

They didn't know who it was and which side's army it was. These years, they had suffered from wars, and they were afraid of these soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

"War and war, in the final analysis, the people who suffer the most are these people!"

Seeing this scene, the deputy commander couldn't help sighing.

"Aren't we just trying to end this status quo and bring people's lives back to normal as soon as possible?"

Qiao Lin had never seen such a sentimental side of the deputy commander, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

"It's easier said than done. The war is over. Soldiers don't have to bleed and die on the battlefield, but the pain brought by the war to the people may take a long time to heal."

The deputy commander-in-chief shook his head. The war does not end when the two sides decide the winner. The problems left over from the war are often more serious than the war itself.

Qiao Lin tilted his neck and thought for a while, but he didn't quite understand what the deputy commander said.

A war is a war. When the invaders are driven away and the war is over, the common people don't have to worry about it. Wouldn't life return to normal?

"Do you know this place?"
