Yu Chenglong reluctantly said goodbye to Hua's mother. Of course, what was even more sad was Yinping's heroic sacrifice, which made Yu Chenglong feel like a knife. He gritted his teeth in grief and anger, and followed the commander's order with his brothers to chase the commander and the others.
Arriving at Qingyang Gang, I met the commander-in-chief and reported to him the situation of sniping the enemy. After hearing this, the commander-in-chief asked him to lead his men to withdraw first, and then set up an ambush in Yushugou before dark.
Yu Chenglong took the order and continued to lead the brothers to run forward. On the way, they met the navy captain, who asked them to take off their tired horses and put on their own horses to continue on their way.
The navy captain told Yu Chenglong that after arriving at the ambush site, he would let the horses graze and replace the horses with the team led by the commander-in-chief who arrived behind. So Yu Chenglong asked his brothers to replace the horses and continue running.
When it was getting dark, Yu Chenglong led his people to Yushugou. He asked two brothers to lead the horses to graze, and asked four brothers to spend money to buy rice for cooking in nearby villages. He led the remaining brothers to set up an ambush for defense. .
It was almost midnight, and the brothers had just eaten. After being hungry for a whole day, the brothers ate very deliciously and ate a lot, but their spirits were still not too low.
After dinner, Yu Chenglong sent someone to the village to buy some more corn noodles, bake some big pancakes, and buy some pickles to take with him for eating tomorrow.
After arranging for the brothers to take turns herding horses and guarding sentries, Yu Chenglong ordered the brothers to sleep and rest at the blocking location. After all, the brothers had not slept a wink all day and night.
It was almost dawn when the commander-in-chief and deputy commander Zhang arrived, and the two sides exchanged horses. The commander-in-chief said that they were not pursued again. It seemed that the little devil was not ready to continue the pursuit.
"You stay here until midnight. If there are no pursuers, evacuate here and go directly into the mountains. When you retreat, you must bypass Xinglong Tun and enter the mountains about five or six miles north of the village.
I've sent Deputy Commander Zhang to wait for you there. be careful! Don't be reluctant to fight. If the Japanese come, fight for a while and then run away. Lead them elsewhere, and then try to escape and join us. "
After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, he led the people away. Yu Chenglong asked his brothers to build fortifications and prepare to face the enemy. In the second half of the afternoon, the navy captain and others also arrived. After the two sides waved, the navy captain and others hurriedly left.
Until late at night, no Japs came to pursue him. So Yu Chenglong ordered his brothers to withdraw from their positions, mount their horses, and retreat directly to the direction of Xinglongtun.
On the afternoon of the next day, Yu Chenglong met Deputy Commander Zhang and his brothers who were on the road fortifications. The teams of the right route army reunited and continued to evacuate into the mountains.
In accordance with the commander-in-chief's request, Yu Chenglong led the team around Xinglongtun and arrived at the designated meeting point when it was dark.
The brothers who had been waiting here distributed some dry food to each of Yu Chenglong's team for them to use on the way into the mountains.
At the same time, the commander-in-chief's order was conveyed, saying that the commander-in-chief and the others had entered the mountain, and asked Yu Chenglong and the others to take the remaining food with them and quickly evacuate to the mountain.
Yu Chenglong ordered his brothers to carry the remaining food and items on their horses, and those that could not be carried were carried on people's backs. After cleaning up the traces, he led the team into the mountains overnight.
Apart from taking a short rest and letting the horses eat some grass along the way, they just kept driving. By the morning of the fourth day, Yu Chenglong led the team back to Tianjiao Ridge smoothly.
The teams that had withdrawn earlier had already rested for two days. On the day Jackie Chan led the team to withdraw, the commander-in-chief summoned the three army commanders to discuss the matter.
"Our great victory in Jiangyuan City has greatly enhanced the prestige of our Liberation Army. Since the Japs occupied Manchuria, few gangsters and anti-Japanese armed forces have dared to attack the county town.
Being able to dare to confront the Japanese ghosts like this shows courage and courage, so I would like to say that our victory in Jiangyuan County is of great significance and has far-reaching influence.
Let the whole of Manchuria know that a brave and capable team like ours has emerged from this land. This is a great thing and a joy to congratulate!
Therefore, I want to commend the three armies. All brothers who participated in this battle will be credited with one merit, those who were injured and those who performed well in the battle will be credited with two merits, and those who were killed will be credited with three merits.
Battalion Commander Yinping, Commander Yu, and Deputy Commander Hua will be credited with four merits. Those with two or more merits will be given double pay, and those with four or more credits will be given three pays. From now on, this will be the rule of our Manchuria Liberation Army.
You three army commanders should go back and find out the situation clearly, and decide who should perform meritorious service and how many times they should perform meritorious service. It should be fair and convincing to the brothers, and the morale of the brothers should not be affected by the evaluation of meritorious service.
Also, today is the periodic memorial day for the fallen brothers. I will personally lead the brothers to pay tribute to the fallen brothers and rest their souls in peace. Battalion Commander Jiang will hurry up and make arrangements.
In addition, and most importantly, our victory over Jiangyuan hurt little Japan and exposed our Manchurian Restoration Army. Little Japan will definitely retaliate against us, and we must be prepared in advance.
According to the location of Tianjiao Ridge, Little Japan is most likely to attack us from the south and west, so I plan to send an army to garrison at Yingzui, sixteen miles south of Tianjiao Ridge.
Send another army to garrison at Mopan Mountain, eighteen miles west of Tianjiao Ridge. If the Japanese attack Tianjiao Ridge, we can mobilize each other to form a pocket formation to snipe the enemy.
This will prevent the Japanese from easily succeeding. You three should think about it carefully and see if this arrangement is feasible? Our purpose is to keep the little devils out of Tianyaoling. "
The commander-in-chief said a lot in one breath and explained the current tasks very clearly. This makes everyone present feel very admired. Yes, it is a coach's responsibility to prepare for a rainy day.
"Such an arrangement is feasible, and I firmly support it! But in addition to these things, there are two other things that need to be done. The first is that the most important thing after the defense deployment is to build the fortress quickly. The Japanese have artillery, and the fortifications are not strong enough.
The second thing is to train the troops quickly. Look at the offensive formation of the little devils and the individual combat capabilities. I can't compare with them. I killed more than 30 brothers this time, which made them miserable!
If we were to attack and others were to defend, the result would be even worse, so we must train our troops as soon as possible. However, we still lack instructors, and we must find a solution as soon as possible. "
The navy captain was very satisfied with the commander-in-chief's arrangement. Under the current situation, we should prevent the kid from attacking. Since we offended the kid, we must prevent the kid from taking crazy revenge.
"I support and agree with what the commander-in-chief and the navy captain said. But I think we still need to find out a few evacuation routes and locations to be evacuated, so that we can deal with the little devils.
We can't just fight the Japanese in Tianjiao Ridge and lose all our family resources. Also, winter is coming, and we can no longer hide people in our mountains. What will we do then? You have to think of all this. "
