Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 642: Fight out

Tang Qiuli and his party were camping in a cave. Sun Zhenbang led two companies of troops and a company of the Eighth Route Army, who happened to be active in this area. They also received orders from their superiors to find Tang Qiuli's whereabouts. In this way, Tang Qiuli

In his hands, he had three companies plus a guard brigade, totaling more than 1,500 troops.

The next step is how to cover the division commander's safe escape from the Japanese encirclement. According to Sun Zhenbang's plan, his two companies fired on both sides, attracting Japanese pursuit, tearing a hole in the Japanese encirclement, and creating opportunities for the division commander to escape safely.

The Eighth Route Army and the guard brigade escorted the division commander, but Tang Qiuli disagreed. The two companies would be tightly held by the Japanese army, and if the surrounding Japanese troops came around again, these soldiers would have no choice but to be unable to escape and fight to the end.

He would never be able to exchange the lives of more than 600 soldiers in two companies for his own safety. Moreover, the Japanese army had not discovered him yet, so he could not risk the lives of the soldiers. He flatly rejected Sun Zhenbang.

At the suggestion, the two Eighth Route Army officers exchanged glances with each other, and both could see the surprise in the other's heart.

They were both Red Army soldiers who had gone through a 25,000-mile long march, and had fought tooth and nail with the Kuomintang troops for ten years. In their memories, it was the most ordinary thing for an officer of the Kuomintang to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers in order to survive.

However, the *** general in front of him categorically rejected this plan that should be the most reasonable. What this unit and its officers saw in a short period of time tonight gave them new ideas.

cognition.

Now, it has not yet reached that point. Of course, Tang Qiuli will not risk the lives of soldiers. The top priority is to let the commanders of each corps know that they are safe now. He ordered one of his radio stations to start sending reports immediately.

, Shan Hu immediately stopped and ordered a group of thirty soldiers from the guard brigade to escort the radio station to a place far away from the camping cave to send the report. Once encountering the Japanese search troops, they immediately broke out in the opposite direction. Even if all were killed, they were not allowed to do so.

Come closer here.

The order was ruthless, but absolutely necessary. Protecting the safety of the division commander was Shan Hu's only mission. Tang Qiuli had no choice but to do it. Next, it was time to study how to escape from the Japanese encirclement. Tang Qiuli believed that at present, the troops

marching direction and day

On the contrary, as long as they don't take the main road, they will not encounter large Japanese troops. If they encounter a small group of searching Japanese troops, with the existing strength, they can quickly eat them and move immediately, they will not

He was bitten by the tail and chased after him.

He had only one plan, fight it out. Sun Zhenbang and Shan Hu both disagreed with this plan. Let the number one figure of the Army Corps come to the battle in person. Guns and guns don't have eyes, and the danger is huge, not to mention the big guys in each corps.

If we know this, we will never let them off lightly. It is the consistent principle of the ** division to not let the division commander put himself in danger.

The two officers of the Eighth Route Army were even more surprised that this young general had such courage. No one could predict how many little devils would come around when the gunshots were fired. However, because they were friendly forces, they cooperated in the fight.

Everyone present was either a colonel or a general, and there were two beautiful female officers beside them, one of whom was a colonel. According to their military rank, they were only at the level of captain. They were polite, but they didn't know the depth yet, so they didn't express their opinions.

Tang Qiuli had made up his mind and started taking action at dawn. Sun Zhenbang's troops were responsible for the vanguard, the guard brigade protected the safety of the division commander and the civilian officers of the division, and the Eighth Route Army troops were the rearguard. Only by concentrating all the current strength and fighting out can we achieve the ultimate goal.

fast speed

Leave the Taihang Mountains, otherwise, we will be trapped here by the Japanese army for who knows how many days. The matter of the Jinan Air Force is another top priority. Shan Hu and Sun Zhenbang cannot change the division commander's decision and can only execute the order. Of course, the two officers of the Eighth Route Army

Will not object.

It was already getting light. In order not to expose the target, except for the lurking posts of the guard brigade, Sun Zhenbang's two companies and one company of the Eighth Route Army all withdrew into the cave. There were hundreds more people. The huge cave did not appear at all.

Crowded, the troops mobilized before the war.

Tang Qiu heard Shan Hu's roar far away. This guy was getting angry with that guy. He walked over curiously. Shan Hu's face was livid, and several squadron leaders drooped their heads. He understood clearly that Shan Hu was criticizing these few people.

A squadron leader of a security brigade, said he

They failed to perform their duties. They did not have clear reconnaissance of the enemy's situation on the marching route. The team failed to avoid the Japanese troops in time, causing the division commander to be in danger now. If during the breakout, the division commander loses a hair, you guys will raise your head.

See.

Tang Qiuli secretly laughed, Shan Hu is a guy who cares about chaos. In fact, you can't blame a few squadron leaders. The Japanese troops in the entire Taihang Mountains are densely packed and mobilized frequently. Sudden and unexpected situations can happen at any time. Troops are wandering around in the mountains.

For a whole day, we avoided countless large Japanese troops and search forces without having a single exchange of fire with the Japanese. This was a rare thing, and it embarrassed the soldiers of the guard brigade.

He was determined to help a few uncomfortable squadron leaders, but after thinking about it, he felt it was wrong. Just as he was about to retreat quietly, a lurking soldier from the guard brigade hurriedly came in and reported a situation. Two hundred and thirty-three members of the fifth special operations team

Fifteen people have already contacted the troops and are waiting outside the cave. According to regulations, they have not informed the division commander of his whereabouts.

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed. With the members of the special operations detachment, the probability of a successful breakout was greater. He ordered all the fifth special operations detachment to enter the cave. The detachment leader came immediately to accept the task. In fact, he had one more thing to do with Shan Hu.

He could tell that when Company Commander Wu and Instructor Li of the Eighth Route Army saw the equipment of their troops, they couldn't hide the envy in their eyes. They were true soldiers' love and desire for weapons.

Although the Eighth Route Army troops have accepted weapons and equipment from the government, God knows what good things the government bosses have given them while pinching their noses. He noticed that many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were still holding old-fashioned Hanyang-made weapons.

It is still a reconnaissance force. As for the general

It is conceivable that the equipment of Tongtong's troops was poor. Although he helped replenish a lot of equipment, compared with the tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army, the number was far from enough. He went to Shanhu to ask those from the guard brigade to

Two pieces of soldiers, one for the Eighth Route Army.

There is nothing to say about this. Shan Hu always carried out Tang Qiuli's orders without compromise. Soon, ten Czech light machine guns, twenty Somi submachine guns, and thirty shell guns were delivered with enough bullets.

In the hands of Captain Wu, this

Next, it was beyond the expectations of the two officers of the Eighth Route Army. In fact, when they saw the equipment of the ** division, they were salivating with envy. Their own company only had two light machine guns. The best equipment was the captured small machine gun.

The devil’s 38 big cover.

Good guy, one platoon of our ** division's troops has five light machine guns, one-color submachine guns, and at least a dozen grenades. From their expert perspective, the bulging bullet belts and the amount of ammunition carried by a single soldier,

At least three hundred rounds

, they are so rich that they are so greedy just looking at them. Now, no matter how much they have been given, what else can they say in their hearts besides being grateful. Not only that, Captain Huang of the security brigade has sent someone to deliver it.

More than six hundred grenades.

The soldiers of a company of the Eighth Route Army were all neatly equipped, and everyone was in high spirits. They couldn't put it down and touched the weapons in their hands, as if they were afraid of breaking off a little bit of the skin. Company Commander Wu and Instructor Li felt so good about this. Looking at the entire Eighth Route Army, their own company's soldiers

The equipment is absolutely unique. The two of them have the same caliber and must not be revealed to other companies. Otherwise, these hungry wolves will not snatch up these treasures.

Tang Qiuli made partial adjustments to the plan. The Fifth Special Operations Team served as the vanguard and set off early to clear the way for the troops behind. Sun Zhenbang's two companies spread out on the left and right wings to support the Fifth Special Operations Team at any time. At this time,

He still believed that the troops trained by Brother Qiuquan had much more experience in opening roads than ordinary troops.

The morning sun rises, a red sun leaps out of the east, thousands of rays of rays of light reflect the thousands of miles of Taihang Mountains, the green pines and cypresses slightly sway their branches in the morning breeze, the great rivers and mountains, the magnificent sunrise picture, Tang Qiuli's heart is displayed, and he is heroic.

He ordered the troops to set off. The soldiers' nimble figures disappeared into the pine trees in a flash. He looked back at the cave, the place where he had spent the night, and turned around to leave.

The troops were moving very fast, and they avoided large groups of Japanese troops when they encountered them. Along the way, they encountered small groups of Japanese troops who were being searched by groups of seven or eight groups, but they were all quickly killed by the Fifth Special Forces Team. The troops walked far away and could still hear.

Seeing the Japanese reinforcements and the roar of artillery fire at the place where the battle had taken place, Quan thought it was a farewell to him.

The combat skills of the Fifth Special Forces Team were an eye-opener for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. They rarely used weapons, and most of them were cold weapons. Company Commander Wu saw with his own eyes that a group of more than 30 little devils had no time to fire a shot.

Under such circumstances, they were all lying in a pool of blood. My own company, in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army,

It can be regarded as a force that performs special tasks. To be fair, if you fight against the special operations unit of the ** Division and you are not your opponent, I am afraid that you will lose more than half of your strength before you even find the opponent. Not only is the gap in weapons and equipment, but more importantly.

It's the tactical level and the quality of individual soldiers, the difference is not even a little bit worse.

Fighting all the way out, the surrounding Japanese troops were left behind. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had advanced nearly 60 kilometers and reached a mountain pass called Shuzhang. They could not pass. After the special operations team conducted reconnaissance, they reported to Tang Qiu

Leaving the mountain pass ahead, there were two regiments of Japanese troops, tightly surrounding the exit and setting up checkpoints.

Judging from the map, this is the only route leading to Henan. It is an important stronghold for the Japanese army to blockade the Taihang Mountains. If we take a detour, it will take an extra five or six days to travel, and the situation is still unclear. If we go back, we will follow like a mad dog.

Knowing how many Japanese troops there were and fighting along the way, it was not difficult for the Japanese commander to figure out his route based on where the battle took place.

There is a strong enemy in front and pursuers behind. Being attacked from both front and rear is a taboo for military strategists. The sound of gunfire and artillery behind seems to be there, but it must be the Japanese army chasing them along the route. For a while, everyone realizes the seriousness of the problem and takes action.

His eyes turned to Tang Qiuli, who had a calm expression.
