There was a constant "hiss" sound in the air, and mortar shells exploded one after another in the woods. The officers and soldiers of the 691st Regiment all lay in the fortifications that were dug halfway.

It is obvious that the Japanese army has investigated the "Pin" layout of the 691st Regiment, but they directly isolated the three positions with artillery fire.

Lu Cao didn't care about the Japanese artillery shells exploding not far away. He held up his telescope and looked forward, but what he saw in the telescope was smoke and dust from the artillery shells.

The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for more than 20 minutes. After the cannon sound stopped, Lu Cao looked at it with a telescope and saw that the Japanese army had already appeared in the middle of the town in front.

The reason for this situation at this time is that the distance between Shang Zhen and the others is about one kilometer from the town in front.

Just this distance. The first battalion in the town and the second battalion outside the town cannot form a joint attack on the Japanese army.

The reason why Lu Chao kept such a distance from the town in front was that there was a pond between them and the town, but who would have thought that the Japanese army would appear in that old pond?

However, the Japanese army did not attack them, and it seemed that they were just staying there. The real target of the Japanese army should be the town in front.

The town belongs to the commanding heights of this "子" shape formation. If that town is captured by the Japanese army, then the defense line of the 691st Regiment will become thinner.

"Hu Daquan, send your company to prepare for the attack. We must drive the Japanese troops in the middle area back!" Lu Cao shouted.

Since the Japanese attack had begun, Lu Cao naturally didn't care about talking about smuggling arms with Gao Huaide and Shang Zhen.

But at this moment, the combat staff in his command post suddenly shouted: "Captain, division commander, phone number!"

Li Cao turned around and ran to the temporary command post. After a while, Shang Zhen outside the command post, they heard Lu Cao shouting "What" and "What".

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 691st Regiment were ready to launch an attack on the Japanese army ahead.

At present, the fortifications dug by the 691st Regiment are useless. Who would have thought that the Japanese army did not launch an attack on them, but wanted to divide their positions.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the Second Battalion beside him were about to launch an attack, Shang Zhen suddenly sighed that his group of people were a little brave.

Now they are basically similar to the terrain of the Japanese army that separates them, and even their terrain is better than the horde of the Hanwatang where the Japanese army is located.

But whether it is the offensive side or the defense side, there are actually no good hidden objects, and there are some ridges and ridges and platforms on the sky.

In such unobstructed shooting, both the enemy and us are destined to be killed or injured.

However, the Japanese army had the advantage of firepower. The 691st Regiment's mortar shells had been exhausted, so they would definitely suffer heavy casualties during the attack.

At this time, the caravan noticed that two soldiers in the team were pulled up.

Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized that the two people were two biological brothers.

It turned out that the brother wanted to stand in front of the younger brother, but the younger brother wanted to stand in front of the older brother.

As for why this happens, do you still need to ask? Who is in front of him blocking the gun!

"Liu Xilu, come to the end!" The company commander of the first company yelled, and then resolved the "dispute" between the two brothers!

The younger brother walked back, his face full of displeasure. Shang Zhen even saw his eyes red.

Seeing these officers and soldiers looking at death, how could Shang Zhen not sigh?

Just as the 1st Company of the Second Battalion was about to launch an attack, Lu Cao shouted "Wait" and ran out of the regiment's fingers.

Everyone looked at Lu Cao, and the first sentence that Lu Cao blurted out was: "Damn it, let's retreat!"

"What? Retreat?" It would be fine to hear Lu Cao curse, but what Lu Cao said shocked everyone present enough.

"The battle has just begun, why did it start to retreat?" After all, Gao Huaide asked.

"Originally, a line of defense was established here, but the Central Army ran away without saying a word, leaving our 53rd Army behind, and our 53rd Army was cut off.

Now our army has begun to retreat, and other regiments are also retreating and we are the only one left.

Let us retreat too now, but how can we retreat now? The first battalion has been surrounded by the Japanese army.

But the division told us not to have a battalion, and the remaining two battalions ran back. How do you think these are all commanding the war?

Leave your brother and go to escape by yourself. I, Lu Cao, won’t come out of this matter!" Because of the anger, Lu Cao’s face was already flushed!

Amid Lu Cao's angry roar, Shang Zhen was in shock and anger, and the officers and soldiers of the 691st Regiment also showed anger.

Yes, it must be admitted that the Japanese invaders are powerful.

But it is precisely because the Japanese invaders are very powerful that they want to drive the Japanese invaders out of China's revival of the three northeastern provinces, so they need all troops to live and die together and advance and retreat together.

If there is any difficulty ahead, let’s move forward together.

If you can't resist the strategic transfer for the time being, you have to go together!

This battalion that was besieged by the Japanese army was left there and let it fend for itself. Wouldn't it be that the hearts of the officers and soldiers who vowed to fight to the death!

But what is helpless is that this is the current situation of the Chinese army.

The Central Army, Northeast Army, Northwest Army, Yunnan Army, Shanxi-Suizhou Army, Sichuan Army, Guangdong Army, and Eighth Route Army, certainly some of them are brave enough to fight the enemy, and some are cautious in using friendly forces as cannon fodder.

Because of the complexity of human nature, the commander and the same army are the same person. Sometimes they want to fight against the Japanese army, but sometimes they want to retreat and preserve their strength.

Life and death in war are always a touchstone. Only the real anti-Japanese hero will move forward bravely, sacrifice his head and shed blood, be with the mountains and rivers, and compete with the sun and the moon!

"Communication Soldier, go and call me all the officers above the company of the Second and Third Battalions!" Lu Cao shouted loudly.

Leng Xiaozhi, who had never experienced such a scene, turned his eyes to Shang Zhen, who had been silent.

Shang Zhen did not look at Leng Xiaozhi, but based on Leng Xiaozhi's understanding of Shang Zhen, Shang Zhen must have recovered from the beginning of shock at this time.

Although Leng Xiaozhi didn't know what Shang Zhen was thinking about, she felt a little at ease when she saw Shang Zhen being with her.

Ten minutes later, Lu Cao gathered the remaining officers together, and Shang Zhen, who was standing beside him, looked at Lu Cao in surprise and discussed with the officers, and soon made a decision that shocked him even more.

That is, Lu Cao decided not to retreat with the main force. He wanted to take their 691st Regiment to "counter the current" northward to the enemy's back to carry out guerrilla warfare!

At this point, Shang Zhen was extremely impressed by Lu Cao.

There are many small groups of Chinese troops who surrendered and became puppet troops when they saw the Japanese army was in great power.

But there were also Lu Cao who saw the large army retreating without fighting, but they pulled them out to fight against the Japanese army alone.

The former sells the country, while the latter saves the country!
