Chapter 1216 The only Reason

"Yes! Just go north!" Brigadier Liu Chengyi said standing in front of the officers who were temporarily summoned together.

Facing this order from the chief officer, his officers had different expressions.

I was surprised because I felt that this time it was just a break, and it was still possible to hold on for two or three more days. But now going north, that is the direction from which the Japanese army came, which was tantamount to launching a suicide attack!

Some were surprised at first and then became excited, but what they thought was that they would die anyway, so it would be better to kill the stupid little devils and catch a few people on the back before dying, which is also called death. What a joy to die!

And if Liu Chengyi, the most surprised person among these officers, also noticed it, it was naturally his incompetent brother-in-law Wang Qingfeng.

Liu Chengyi didn't know what kind of character his brother-in-law was, so he was not qualified for big things. He was really not qualified to be the chief officer of a unit. He was first asked to be a company commander, but he ended up causing trouble because he didn't rescue the wounded. If the military is dissatisfied, then he can only be asked to take care of logistics.

It doesn't matter how bad my brother-in-law is, because even though he is a coward, he will never be the worst kind of bad guy.

I remember that when Liu Chengyi just got married to his eldest sister, Wang Qingfeng was still wearing crotchless pants. It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Qingfeng was the one he grew up watching, so if his brother-in-law didn't cover her, who could?

Liu Chengyi's eyes passed over Wang Qingfeng's face and ignored his surprised look.

Naturally, he didn't know that Wang Qingfeng was shocked not only by the decision of his brother-in-law, the brigade commander, but also by how accurate the hexagrams of the little Taoist named Li Qingfeng were!

Liu Chengyijing watched the reactions of his subordinates. After a moment, he saw that his subordinates did not comment but looked at him intently. The sudden emotion in his heart blurted out: "It turned out that there was a meeting with the whole brigade, and there was no one below. There was such a big group, but now there are a lot less of them!”

When Liu Chengyi said this, the officers naturally didn't answer him.

The three regiment commanders are still there, but one is lying on a stretcher. The other two have also been slightly injured. Four of the battalion commanders under each regiment have been killed. As for the company commanders, there is no need to mention them. The number of casualties has exceeded More than half of it!

Liu Chengyi's brigade is not quite the same as the other brigades of the Northeast Army. Most of the other brigades of the Northeast Army are "original", with the brigade commander leading the old man, but his brigade was formed later, so it is still After entering the customs, they reorganized some ineffective Northeastern officers and soldiers who had retreated into the customs.

If a soldier is a piece of paper, a recruit is a piece of white paper. Whatever color you paint is that color, while skirmishers from other units are paper with colors. You can paint it on this basis. You have to bleach the color you want, which is difficult!

During the Ming Dynasty in China, the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang initially led troops who were also the original soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. However, although he led the troops well, he had no good way to deal with those "rotten" soldiers.

But in the end, he chose a place with strong folk customs, recruited strong men and went through rigorous training before forming the Qi Family Army, which later frightened the Japanese pirates who were the ancestors of what is now Japan.

From this, you can imagine how difficult it was for Liu Chengyi to finally lead this team into a team that can fight!

"So, Shang Zhen's suggestion is very good. We must not only complete the post-breakup mission but also try to leave some seeds for our brigade. Let's go north at night to carry out night attacks for them, so that they can survive for two days. We don't have time to chase our large army anymore, so let's take advantage of the chaos and make a circle before running out!" Liu Chengyi gave a rough outline of his battle plan.

The officers listened to Liu Chengyi's words but had doubts in their hearts.

If we just use this method of fighting, if we don’t disrupt the troops, will we still be able to escape from the Japanese encirclement?

It's just that the brigade commander is talking now, and they can only listen. This is a regular army after all, and it is definitely not like those stragglers discussing how to escape. Anyone can join in the conversation.

"We operate in regiments, but now only half of a regiment can fight. In a moment, Chief of Staff Li will tell you where your respective attack targets are and the specific combat deployment.

It’s not about how many Japanese Japs we can eliminate, but we must beat the Japs so hard that they will think we are counterattacking. After the night battle, we will immediately leave the village called Shaojiagou to assemble.

I’ll show you the map in a moment, so be sure to remember this location. "

When Liu Chengyi said this, the confusion in the hearts of his officers arose again. It doesn't mean how many Japanese Japs we can kill, but we must beat the Japs to pain?

This sounds contradictory! If you kill too few of the Japs, how can the Japs feel pain?

In fact, Liu Chengyi was also confused, or in other words, he was not confused and couldn't express himself clearly even though he wanted to.

Just because his rhetoric or ideas all come from Shang Zhen's words.

At the brigade headquarters, Shang Zhen saw that Liu Chengyi wanted to complete the post-breaking mission but also didn't want to use up all his brigade. So how could he remain silent?

Just because he suddenly found that he and the brigade commander Liu Chengyi had something in common.

What common language? To put it bluntly, I want to fight the Japanese and save my life, not "to be proud of death"!

Of course, Shang Zhen would never and dare not say that taking pride in death was wrong at any time. After all, many officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army died in this way, including senior generals at the commander level!

So since Liu Chengyi wanted to fight the Japanese and save his life, wouldn't it be the same as their fighting philosophy?

You asked Shang Zhen to defend his position, but you asked him to lead his troops at night to cause trouble for the Japanese army. After holding the Japanese army for two or three days, he still had some ideas. This is better than hiding in a position with no fortifications at all. Let the Japanese artillery fire kill Qiang, right?

It's just that when Shang Zhen explained to Liu Chengyi, he could only give a rough outline due to time constraints.

Liu Chengyi also understood what Shang Zhen meant. Although it was more dangerous to rush towards the area occupied by the Japanese army in the dark, after all, it was still possible to delay the Japanese army without being hit by artillery shells, which could be considered as completing the mission.

As for how long you can survive, it depends on your fate, and the only thing you need to do so is your courage.

To be honest, even though Liu Chengyi is a brigade commander, he has never fought in the same way as Shang Zhen and others!

Not only Liu Chengyi, but also the entire Northeast Army and even the top brass of the National Army have never commanded the National Army to fight like this!

There are many reasons for this. For example, they think this style of play is Tubalu style, and they look down on it in their hearts.

For another example, they actually don't have such courage deep down in their hearts, yes, courage, the kind of courage to face a situation where they are surrounded by enemies on all sides but have no ammunition, supplies, or even a fortification!

For another example, they also lack the courage and calculation to adapt to complex situations!

Liu Chengyi understood the combat concept mentioned by Shang Zhen, and he understood that this difficulty was not ordinary!

There will definitely be some members of our team who will be surrounded by the Japanese army and unable to escape. Will they be taken as prisoners or even surrender to the enemy? Liu Chengyi always felt that with him as the brigade commander watching from behind, his people did not dare to retreat, but if he really didn't have to watch and let them make their own decisions, then any situation could happen!

In the end, there was only one reason that made Liu Chengyi accept Shang Zhen's suggestion, and that was, it was better to go out and defend by attacking than to stay in the position and eventually be killed by Japanese artillery fire!
