    Jiang Xianliang could not make this determination. Meng Jianzhu was the most capable commander of the Sixth Brigade and his most capable general. He felt heartbroken to sacrifice a main commander of the regiment in this blocking battle that was destined to end without return.  He was trembling. The Sixth Brigade was already on the verge of falling apart. If a regiment commander died in battle, the Sixth Brigade would have a broken backbone and it would be difficult to stand up again.

    Jiang Xianliang frowned, and while listening to the gunshots coming and going, he thought rapidly, trying to find the most feasible but safest way to resolve the crisis of tens of thousands of Japanese troops pursuing them. However,  It was a pity that there was no way to get the best of both worlds. He could only use more than 6,000 soldiers who could still fight to block the tens of thousands of pursuing Japanese troops. This was a desperate attack. He knew that no one, including Meng Jianzhu, would come back alive.  .

    It was precisely because Jiang Xianliang knew the outcome of the blocking battle that it was difficult to make a decision. Seeing that the brigade commander was still hesitating, Meng Jianzhu's face flushed with anxiety and he said loudly: "Brigadier Commander, don't you trust me, Meng Jianzhu? Don't trust me with my troops?"  More than 6,000 people can't stop the Japs for a few hours. I'm willing to issue a military order. If they can't stop the Japs for more than five hours, you can chop off my head, Meng Jianzhu!"

    Jiang Xianliang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He believed in Meng Jianzhu, and even more believed in the brave spirit of the soldiers of the 6th Brigade. More than 6,000 people were killed, and it was not a problem to hold off the Japanese army for five hours or more. He clearly understood the consequences of the disparity in strength.  It was difficult to make a decision, "Brigade commander, the Japanese army is chasing closely, you make the decision!" Chief of Staff Huo Shoushan reminded the brigade commander when he saw that the brigade commander was reluctant to give up and found it difficult to make up his mind.

    Jiang Xianliang raised his head suddenly, "Okay! Jianzhu, I will appoint you as the commander of the blocking force, responsible for the task of covering the retreat of the main force of the brigade and the wounded. However, I must remind you, come back alive, I don't need you to die  Keep an eye on the blocking location for several hours, and master one principle. The pursuing Japanese army is only twenty kilometers away from us. We can block the enemy in layers, fight and retreat, and master the tactics flexibly!"

    "Not only do you have to come back alive, more than 6,000 soldiers are entrusted to you. We must try to bring them all back alive. Also, the existing light and heavy machine guns and mortars in the army, as well as all the ammunition, are left to you. I have a  I have a premonition that the division commander will not let the Japs chase us so wildly. Therefore, we must save our lives and fight the Japs fiercely in the future. Don¡¯t just think about fighting for your life. We are about four kilometers behind our current position.  It¡¯s a good blocking spot!¡±

    "Before the kid catches up, lay a lot of explosives and mines on the main roads and all passable sections. It won't be a problem to hold the kid down for an hour!" Jiang Xianliang carefully and patiently warned Meng Jianzhu, like a squad leader.  Teach a new soldier on his first battlefield.

    Meng Jianzhu grinned.  It was also the first time that he discovered that the brigade commander still had such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law side, "Brigadier commander, please save your energy. This is not the first time I have fought with the little devils. As for the background of those bastards, that  I don¡¯t know, don¡¯t you feel too tired?¡± He said half-jokingly.

    Strangely enough, Meng Jianzhu's half-joking words diluted the thick melancholy atmosphere. Jiang Xianliang also laughed and said: "Okay! I won't be verbose. Who doesn't know that your commander Meng Da has a way of fighting, Jianzhu?"  , remember, save your own life so that I can continue to fight the Japanese!"

    Meng Jianzhu laughed wildly, "Brigadier Commander and Chief of Staff, don't worry! Anyway, I have more than 6,000 soldiers in my hands. If the little devil wants to devour us, it depends on whether they have good teeth.  Brigade commander and chief of staff, wait for me in Zhuanghe!" After saying that, Meng Jianzhu gave a sharp military salute, jumped into the jeep, stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared, and the jeep sped away with a cloud of dust.  .

    There were more soldiers, carrying bulging bullet belts on their backs, running in the opposite direction to the retreat of the brigade. They were the troops responsible for the blocking task. They were seizing the blocking point as quickly as possible, watching Meng Jianzhu's jeep crash.  After the dust left, Huo Shoushan looked back. Jiang Xianliang, with a trace of tears in his eyes, asked tentatively: "Brigadier Commander, are you sure that after the division commander knows our situation, he will order other troops to reinforce us?"

    Huo Shoushan was very doubtful. He tried hard but couldn't think of any troops near Anton that could come as quickly as possible for reinforcements. From Anton to Zhuanghe, there was no one at all.  The main force is there. The three brigades commanded by the commander are still on the battlefield in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. On the Mokpo battlefield in the south, the 1st to 3rd brigades are separated by the sea and cannot be reached within a short time.

    On the contrary, there is a reinforced regiment of the garrison headquarters in Anton, but he does not think that the division commander will order the garrison troops to reinforce the 6th Brigade. In front of tens of thousands of Japanese troops pursuing victory, the strength of a reinforced regiment is obviously not enough.  The division commander was not so confused. Looking around, he saw that there were really no troops to come for reinforcements. He didn't understand why the brigade commander made such a judgment. Could it be just for the sake of?Avoid Meng Jianzhu¡¯s hard fight and give hope?

    Hearing his chief of staff ask this question, Jiang Xianliang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Chief of Staff, I am not sure that the division commander will send reinforcements, but I believe that the division commander will never watch such three brigades being attacked by a small army.  The Japs' pursuit resulted in heavy losses. Perhaps, this is intuition!" To be precise, it was Jiang Xianliang's almost blind belief in the division commander Tang Qiuli.  Here, he is almost like an omnipotent god.

    Jiang Xianliang's intuition was correct. He decisively ordered to abandon the Andong and Gaizhou front lines and withdraw all the way from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. This was Tang Qiuli's order to prevent the three brigades that had almost lost their combat effectiveness from fighting the Japanese army.  Tang Qiuli didn't pay much attention to the gains and losses of the city. His military command method was too much influenced by the great Mao. He was so flexible that he was more ruthless than the great Mao.

    Although Tang Qiuli didn't know it yet, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, gave himself a decisive blow and almost effortlessly defeated the three main brigades of the Marine Corps on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula.  But he was not a person willing to suffer losses. After confirming that the Japanese troops attacking the Liaodong Peninsula were the two divisions of the Japanese Third Army originally assembled in Vladivostok, he was considering whether to use an opportunity to bring this Third Army to  Eat?

    By eating the newly formed Third Army of the Japanese Army, the uncertain factors in the Northeastern battlefield will be eliminated. In the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, the temporary defeat of the three Marine Corps brigades may be an opportunity. Tang Qiuli hopes that the Japanese army will pursue them.  , and the deeper the pursuit is to the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, the better. Should he close the door and beat the dog? He still wants to see the next move of the Japanese army?

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe knocked on the door and came in, "Division Commander, I have received information from the Director of the Intelligence Division. It has been found out that the Japanese troops attacking Anton and Gaizhou are the 07 and 10 of the newly formed Japanese Third Army.  The Ninth Division, these two Japanese troops are Class A divisions. They were originally affiliated with the Japanese Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force Ito Genzaburo. They were later transferred back to Japan and secretly installed a special mortar brigade in Japan! "

    "That is, the nerve gas bombs used by the Japanese army in the counterattack on the Liaodong Peninsula. In addition, the intelligence station in Vladivostok learned that the other two divisions of the Japanese Third Army, the 69th and 71st  The division has left Vladivostok and quickly headed for Fengtian. Regarding whether the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has been replaced, the Fengtian Intelligence Center Station of the Intelligence Department is working hard to verify it! "

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, all four divisions of the Japanese Third Army are concentrated on the Fengtian line. It seems that the Kwantung Army Headquarters intends to recapture the Liaodong Peninsula. This is  The only mobile force of the Japanese army has finally surfaced. Well, it¡¯s a bit interesting. It seems that the day when the battle to regain the Northeast is not far away! "

    "Yu He, I have an idea. I will order the 4th, 5th and 6th Marine Corps brigades that have retreated from Andong to Gaizhou to continue their retreat south. If necessary, we can abandon the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. We might as well let the troops  The retreat was more embarrassing, attracting the Japanese troops to pursue them, and they continued to penetrate deep into the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. This was a good opportunity to attack from behind and close the door to fight the dogs! "

    Hearing this, Zhao Yuhe smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, I just wanted to report this to you. Our troops don't have to retreat in embarrassment. The two Japanese divisions that attacked the Liaodong Peninsula, plus the troops coming from the Liaoxi Corridor and the West  After the initial attack was successful, the Kwantung Army troops deployed from the Manchuria area were divided into three groups and were fiercely pursuing the 4th, 5th and 6th Marine Brigades. The distance between them and our army was only about fifteen kilometers. "

    "The three brigades retreated slowly because there were a large number of poisoned wounded. I am afraid that they would be overtaken by the Japanese army before they crossed the Andong and Gaizhou lines. Several brigade commanders of the retreating troops reported the situation to the division  Referring to the staff office, they have ordered the troops who can still fight to block the situation and cover the retreat of the wounded southward!"

    Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are so unreasonable! If you want to eat three of my brigades in one go, the Japanese are not afraid of losing their front teeth. You must have given Liu Cuigang's order. The pursuing Japanese army,  I left it to him and Le Yiqin to solve the problem. To Yu He, he added another order. The aviation unit's primary goal is to cover the evacuation of the Liaodong Peninsula troops. They must not cause the pursuing Japanese troops to become fearful and hesitate to move forward. Among them,  The scale should be grasped accurately!¡±

    Zhao Yu and Ming Wu were stunned for a moment, their eyes flashing with brilliance, and they said: "Commander, you have a new plan to eat the Japanese Third Army in the Liaodong Peninsula area? However, this order to the Aviation Command  , but it is a bit difficult for the two commanders Le and Liu. They have to cover the retreat of the troops without scaring the Japanese army. It is very difficult! "

    Tang Qiuli said something very insightful, "I can't guarantee that Liu Cuigang can do it, Le Yiqin!"
