Chapter 416 Ordinary Soldier
Xiao Liangcai said happily.
"Brother Yuan Shuai, this battle was fought beautifully, but in order to prevent the Japanese reinforcements from coming, we should retreat as soon as possible. Am I not arranging the retreat now?"
"Retreat? How do we retreat? How much strength do you have left after fighting this battle? If we encounter the Japanese reinforcements during the retreat, how will we deal with them? Should we abandon the spoils and retreat?"
"..."
Xiao Liangcai was suddenly speechless.
They only had a few hundred people, including many old men and female soldiers.
They had consumed too much physical energy for this battle and had not yet recovered.
Moreover, there was too much spoils this time, and there was no way for the several hundred people to take them all away.
Yuan Shuai continued.
"Look at all the wild boar carcasses on the ground. They are enough for us to eat for many days. How dare you just leave them there?"
"Well, what should we do? The Japanese reinforcements will definitely come, we can't just wait here to die!"
"Waiting to die? Who is waiting to die? Don't forget, this is a wild boar forest! The Japanese planes can't get in, and the Japanese who come in will get lost. As long as we stay in the wild boar forest, no matter how many Japanese come, we can kill them all!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Dou Jiande, deputy captain of the guerrillas, said quickly.
"Old Xiao, what General Yuan said makes sense. The Japanese plane just turned around and ran away, which means they dare not enter the wild boar forest! As long as the Japanese planes don't come, the Japanese will lose their air support. The woods here are dense. It's hard for the Japanese to find us if we hide in it. Even if the Japanese come with infantry guns and mortars, it's difficult to use them because of the dense forest. Even if they want to use them, they have to cut down the big trees!"
"Brothers, you have been exhausted for a whole day and night. Many of you must be unable to run any longer. Instead of retreating, we should stay here and fight a guerrilla war with the devils!"
"That's right..."
Many other guerrilla officers echoed this.
Xiao Liangcai nodded and said.
"This is indeed a good idea, but what about our camp?"
"That's easy. Just arrange for someone to transfer them to another safe place!"
"Well, that's all it can do!"
Xiao Liangcai nodded helplessly and quickly arranged for the signalmen to evacuate the civilians in the camp.
The people here quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then retreated deep into the wild boar forest.
After all, there is an old hunter leading the team.
These old hunters are quite familiar with the situation in the Wild Boar Forest.
Especially Old Man Qian, who was quite familiar with the place, and was not afraid of going in the wrong direction when marching in the wild boar forest.
Xiao Liangcai had to secretly feel fortunate that General Yuan accepted these old troops.
If it weren't for these old men leading the way, even they would have gotten lost in the wild boar forest.
After a long time, Old Man Qian stopped, wiped the sweat off his face and gasped for breath.
"Captain Yuan, this is a great place. There is a small lake there, so it's convenient for us to use water. How about we set up camp here?"
"No problem! You new soldiers set up camp here, and the veterans go back and bring back all the remaining supplies!"
The guerrilla veterans were extremely tired, but when they thought of the supplies left on the battlefield, they had to grit their teeth and turn back to move the remaining supplies.
Just as they arrived at the previous battlefield.
Yuan Shuai suddenly felt something was wrong and started making hand gestures.
Some people quickly climbed up the trees, some quickly hid behind the trees, and each pulled the bolt of their gun.
Even Yuan Shuai himself had climbed up the big tree.
"Damn it, what's going on? Are there any devils?"
The little boy lay down beside Xiao Liangchang, sweating coldly from nervousness.
"The devils must be coming!"
"Damn it, having too much loot isn't a good thing!"
"There must be a lot of devils coming this time!"
"I shouldn't have come here if I had known!"
"Shut up!"
Several of his men wanted to say something, but Xiao Liangcai's words made them shut up immediately.
Yuan Shuai and the Black Wolf Army have all climbed up the tree.
Looking at the team coming towards him not far away, Yuan Shuai frowned.
The monkey was on a branch not far from him.
Seeing that it was a group of national army coming, Monkey and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared, I thought they were the Japs, but they turned out to be the Nationalist Army!"
"Brother Monkey, could it be that the Japanese are wearing the uniforms of the National Army?"
Bobcat quickly reminded.
"No, from their voices, they have a lot of local accents!"
"Don't say anything, just take a look first!"
Yuan Shuai's voice made the people in the tree shut up immediately.
The ones coming this time were a battalion of the National Army.
It turned out that a regiment of the National Army was coming from the north to support Pingpan City.
But halfway through, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from this direction, and the regiment commander immediately ordered his men to head towards this end.
At the forefront is the first battalion of this regiment.
Although it is easy to get lost in the Wild Boar Forest, there are many footprints of Yuan Shuai and others on the road, and the smoke left by the battlefield guides them in the direction.
Battalion commander Fu Yidao was coming towards here with a big knife on his back.
Entering the battlefield and looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, all the national soldiers looked at each other in astonishment.
"Damn, so many dead bodies!"
"And some dead bodies of guerrillas!"
"There are only a few guerrilla corpses, almost all of them are the corpses of the devils!"
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese regiment commander!"
One of the men saw the dead body of the Japanese regiment commander and quickly pointed at the big badge on the commander's clothes and shouted.
Battalion commander Fu Yidao ran over quickly.
Looking at the severed neck wound, the battalion commander couldn't help but swallow his saliva out of guilt.
The soldiers who surrounded them were all filled with astonishment.
"Damn it, chop off the devil's head with one knife!"
"It seems like there are experts among these guerrillas!"
"I never thought that there would be such a master among the guerrillas!"
"They wiped out an entire regiment! And not many people died! What kind of guerrilla group is this!"
"Battalion Commander, they are heading this way!"
Amidst the sound of astonishment, a scout quickly pointed in the direction of Yuan Shuai.
"Follow the footprints. I want to meet this expert who chopped off the head of the Japanese regiment commander!"
Fu Yidao gritted his teeth, waved his right hand, and led his team to rush towards Yuan Shuai.
"Don't look for me anymore, I'm here!"
Yuan Shuai jumped directly down from the tree.
Fu Yidao's men raised their guns one after another.
Yuan Shuai whistled.
The sound of gun bolts being pulled could be heard from both above and below the trees.
Fu Yidao didn't know how many people were around, so he shouted loudly.
"Chinese people don't fight Chinese people, put down your guns!"
All the national army put down their guns.
Yuan Shuai also stretched out his hand and asked everyone to put down their guns.
"Ahem! I am Fu Yidao, the battalion commander of the 74st Battalion of the New 57st Regiment of the 174th Brigade of the th Division of the th Army of the National Army. I wonder who you are!"
"So you are the famous 74th Army of the Anti-Japanese Iron Army. I have heard of you for a long time! I am just an ordinary Chinese soldier who fights against the Japanese devils. However, we killed all the Japanese devils!"
Yuan Shuai didn't want the other party to know that he was Yuan Shuai, so he didn't give his name.
