Just when Song Mingyuan was confused and sighing, Zhou Wen also received an urgent telegram from Meng Yuting.
Zhou Wen looked up to the sky with the telegram and sighed, feeling inexplicably sad and angry.
It is said that planning things depends on people and accomplishing things depends on heaven.
He didn't expect that the principal would make such a decision. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Japanese army's peace talks are just a delaying tactic, and they have been tried many times, but the principal in Nanjing always takes a chance and always fantasizes about what if this time it is true?
If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed.
The weakness and missteps of the Republic of China government inadvertently encouraged Japan's appetite and ambition to annex China, but ultimately made the entire Chinese nation pay a heavy price.
At this time, emotions such as bitterness, helplessness, loss, unwillingness, and inequality were overwhelming in Zhou Wen's heart, one after another.
As for the opportunity that Zhang Xiaoping and Zhao Xiaojin had almost sacrificed in exchange for, it just slipped away from their hands. Is the price worth it? He didn't think about it at all.
Just because killing the Japanese was his original intention of establishing the mercenary group, in the long years of the war of resistance in the future, the mercenary group will inevitably pay a price of one kind or another. Although he is reluctant to give up, he has long been mentally prepared.
Various emotions were intertwined in his heart at this time, but what brought him was a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
Although he has been a man for two generations, he already knows how miserable and corrupt the government of the Republic of China is, but he still holds a trace of fantasy in his heart, always wondering whether he can slightly change the direction of history through his own time travel and efforts.
But now I finally understand that the torrent of history is so majestic and rolling forward that it cannot be fanned by my little butterfly wings. Whatever is supposed to come will come.
In the future, the development direction of the mercenary group will still be based on itself. It will no longer fantasize about the support of the Republic of China government. In the future, it will even find ways to distance itself from this government and the principal.
If they have different ways, then let’s not conspire with each other.
At the same time, he also knew in his heart that the countdown to the end of the Great Wall War of Resistance had entered, and China's defeat was no longer inevitable.
I have done the best I can, and I feel no guilt. It is time to prepare to leave.
Zhou Wen paced back and forth in the night-shrouded forest, slowly clearing his mind, and began to think about how to lead his brothers back to the pass.
At this time, several major officers, including Chen Wanli and Zhu Jinhui, were looking at Zhou Wen worriedly from a distance. At the same time, they were also cast a shadow over the direction of the Great Wall War of Resistance.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen was shocked. He suddenly discovered that a major crisis was right in front of him.
He hurriedly summoned Chen Wanli and the others to come over, and said solemnly: "Wanli, you said that now our army has been ordered not to take any action. Will the little Japs also stay in the position obediently and wait for reinforcements to arrive?"
Chen Wanli is such a shrewd person. He understood Zhou Wen's meaning as soon as he heard it, and was immediately surprised: "Could the little devil's target be us?"
Zhou Wen's face was as dark as water, but his tone was extremely firm: "It's not a question of doubt, but a yes."
He signaled Chen Wanli to open the map. Zhu Jinhui and others quickly illuminated it with flashlights. Zhou Wen looked at the map and said: "Now there is a complete ceasefire on the Great Wall defense line. As long as the little devils don't attack the Great Wall, then our army is not allowed to move without permission due to military orders. That's it." This means that our response power is almost gone.”
"And the little devils must have figured out the secrets of the big guys in the Peking Military Commission. Because we are fighting behind enemy lines, and we have not disclosed our numbers in order to keep it secret. Even if the devils mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress our small unit hanging outside, , or we can use various excuses such as annihilating bandit armed forces to deal with Nanjing, and then we will be really in danger."
"Then wouldn't we become outcasts?"
"Yes, for those cartilaginous shrimps in the Peking Military Commission, as long as we can reach an armistice agreement with Little Japan, our army is completely expendable. This is called politics." Zhou Wen said with certainty.
Chen Wanli looked at the map and said: "Then we must immediately assemble the troops. First go to the No. 1 secret camp to meet with Instructor Miaohua and the others, and then choose the opportunity to rush into the pass."
"I'm just afraid that the little devil won't give us time!" Zhou Wen sighed softly.
You must know that after they rescued Zhang Xiaoping and Zhao Xiaojin, they ordered Mu Qinghe's infantry company, Mo Dahai's machine gun company, and Tang Jian's mortar company to set off overnight toward the Cherry Orchard, preparing to cooperate with the 32nd Army against the enemy. The siege of the Japanese 24th Regiment.
Their remaining troops were preparing to cooperate with the Model Brigade to ambush the reinforcements of the Japanese 23rd Regiment in the direction of Lengkou.
It means that the mercenary group is now divided into three parts; Mu Qing and them are part of it, the newly established cavalry company and logistics team, communications platoon, and engineer platoon led by Miaohua from the No. 1 secret camp are part of it, and the rest led by Zhou Wen himself Centaur and horse are part of it.
The top priority now is to bring together the three forces as soon as possible in a short period of time.
Once it becomes a situation where each of them is at war with the Japanese army, they will face the danger of being divided and surrounded by heavy Japanese forces.
You must know that all the previous battles of the mercenary group were prepared and unprepared, and they also had the support of friendly forces. Therefore, the battle went smoothly, but it also paid the price of more than a dozen sacrifices and dozens of injuries.
The current situation is that the Japanese army can mobilize tens of thousands of people to encircle and suppress them without worrying about other Chinese armies behind them. This kind of battle will be difficult to fight and the price paid will be huge. It is also Zhou Wen and the mercenary group. Unaffordable.
If one person is not good, the whole army may be destroyed in this Yanshan Mountains.
It can be said that an order from the Military Commission completely relieved the worries of the Japanese 6th Division, thus putting the lone mercenary group to death.
Zhou Wen sighed secretly. He was still too careless and wishful thinking. He didn't expect that a good game of chess would be disrupted by uncontrollable political factors. Now the mercenary group has fallen into passivity.
If we want to break through the blockade of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers and return to the pass, it may not be easy.
Sure enough, at this moment, both Meng Yuting and the 32nd Army called at the same time, informing them that the current Japanese troops had begun to withdraw from their offensive positions, leaving only a small number of security forces, and the rest of the main force was missing. They asked Zhou Wen to be careful about the Japanese movements.
I'm hot, do you need to guess?
These devils must have turned around to deal with the mercenary group. The little devil's movements were faster than Zhou Wen expected.
However, the group composed of the three companies of Mu Qinghe, Mo Dahai and Tang Jian is still on the move, and the radio station cannot contact them yet.
Now Zhou Wen is still worried whether Mu Qing and the others will directly collide with the main force of the 24th Infantry Regiment during the march. Hundreds of people will encounter more than 3,000 Japanese in a narrow road. No matter how powerful you are and well-equipped, the consequences will be disastrous.
No, while the radio station keeps calling, people must be sent to find them immediately and have them withdraw quickly.
