At the command of the 11th Division of the National Army, Peng Shan received a report from the 33rd Brigade that occupied the Changba Station, the important base behind the enemy, and breathed a long sigh, and his frown eyebrows immediately stretched out.

With Peng Shan's eyes looking for Changhama Station on the map, the combat staff had already drawn the red and blue pencils to Changhama Station before his eyes.

"Okay! OK! Now we can make up these little Japanese devils! Pass my order and let the 31st Brigade give me the opportunity to seize the opportunity and eat their enemies in front of me!"

Not long after, Peng Shan received reports of the recovery of the Central Pavilion and Su Family House. Looking at the map, Peng Shan dictated the order to attack Wanqiao, but was about to implement it but received the order to retreat.

It turned out that while the Kuomintang army carried out a large counterattack, the Japanese army also launched a strong offensive against the Kuomintang army on the 21st. In this way, the enemy and us on the left wing battlefield of the Songhu battlefield had an attack and defense situation.

While the 11th Division was preparing to advance towards Wanqiao, the position of the 13th Division of the right wing was fiercely attacked by the Japanese army with superior forces, and the situation was critical. In this way, the 98th Division, which was attacking from Fei Jiazhai, stopped attacking for this and quickly returned to the defense to replace the position of the 13th Division. The 66th Army of the 11th Division attacked near Zhu Sanfang, but was stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army and could no longer make progress. After receiving the report, the commander of the Luo Zhuoying Army of the 18th Army realized that the 11th Division was in deep, especially the 33rd Brigade's important position behind the enemy, Changba Station, at any time, was at risk of being surrounded by the enemy.

According to the order of Commander Luo, the 11th Division retreated to Shigangmen and gathered and stood on standby, and was also responsible for the construction of the reserve positions in Jiading, Shigangmen and Malu Town.

The 66th Regiment Second Battalion was building positions in full swing, ready to welcome the Japanese retaliatory counterattack. At this moment, battalion commander Lin Zhentang received a new order: "The entire regiment evacuated Changba Station in stages before dawn, and the Second Battalion was responsible for cutting off the rear and restraining the counterattack Japanese troops. After the main force of the regiment retreated, the Second Battalion's camera quickly evacuated."

In a remaining bungalow, battalion commander Lin Zhentang held a meeting of officers above the deputy company commander and conveyed the orders of the regiment headquarters.

Hearing the order to "evacuate", Ma Chunsheng, deputy company commander of the Fifth Company, muttered dissatisfied: "Battery Commander, what the hell is fighting? Our battalion has just entered Changbang Station, and we have to give it to the Japanese!"

Ma Chunsheng's muttering was not loud, but his complaints were undoubtedly revealed, and the people in the room heard it clearly. The four-eyed company commander, who was standing aside, pulled Ma Chunsheng and stopped him from continuing to speak.

"That's right, battalion commander, many brothers died in the second battalion! You can't just give it to the Japanese!" The company commander of the fourth company continued.

Hearing Ma Chunsheng's words, Lin Zhentang frowned slightly, then raised his hand, stopped the commander of the Sixth Company who spoke to the mouth, and then glanced at the audience, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, Lin Zhentang, who was in the meeting of the regiment, has already raised his opinions. Now, to be short, the military situation is very urgent. Our 33rd Brigade counterattack this time was good and was praised by his superiors. However, the superiors reported a very serious situation. Our national army's counterattack this time was not smooth, so let's not talk about the rest. The troops on both wings of the 11th Division have not made any progress. Our brigade is now in a lonely army and is in a very unfavorable position. If we do not evacuate quickly before dawn, there will be danger of being surrounded by the Japanese after dawn."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhentang looked around everyone again. Under the dim horse lantern, he saw everyone's face becoming serious and heavy, but his eyes still revealed his inner unwillingness. Everyone knows that at night, because Japanese planes are difficult to carry out precise bombing, it is much easier to fight. If it is dawn, the balance of the war will tilt towards the Japanese army, and the national army will lose all firepower support and be in a unilateral situation of being beaten. If in this case, the 33rd Brigade is still stranded behind enemy lines and will face unimaginable pressure on the battlefield.

Lin Zhentang paused slightly and continued: "Now, everyone knows the situation! Because the positions of the Second Battalion and the Fifth Company may be the main direction of the Japanese counterattack, they were arranged to cut off the rear by the regiment headquarters. Now I ordered the main force of the Second Battalion to evacuate from Changbang Station, and each company's wounded soldiers, and the kitchen squad evacuated at the same time with the main force of the regiment. After the main force of the regiment retreated, they evacuated in the order of the Fourth Company, Sixth Company, Battalion Headquarters, and Fifth Company. Now the Japanese have not counterattacked. If they are counterattacked by the Japanese when retreating, the fifth company will not be allowed to fight. After repelling the Japanese attack, pay attention to the opportunity and evacuate quickly."

"Come on, everyone will look at the map. This is the current location, and then from here to here... the retreat route is like this. The first battalion will set up a staging blocking position here and ambush the Japanese army to cover the retreat of my second battalion."

"Does each company understand?"

"clear!"

In the fifth company, the Four-eyed Company Commander convened a short meeting to arrange the evacuation of personnel above the squad leader. After the meeting, the platoons of the fifth company became busy and set up grenades and thunders in front of the position.

Soon, the main force of the 66th Regiment and the main force of the Second Battalion successfully withdrew from Changba Station, and the Four-eyed Company Commander issued an order to retreat. Before retreating, the Four-eyed Company Commander came to a row of positions.

"Company Commander, our fifth company has begun to retreat?"

"Yes. Yang An, remember the retreat route and be careful not to fight!" After hearing Tang Jiabao's words, the company commander of the Four-Eyeds had an extraordinary feeling and memory of the map. This was discovered when he performed his mission alone that night. Despite this, the company commander of the Four-Eyeds still reminded Yang An to remember the retreat route.

"Yes! Company Commander!"

The four-eyed company commander patted Yang An on the shoulder, and looked at the first squad leader Zuo Wangqiu behind Yang An, through the darkness, Bai Wan, the second squad leader, and Luo Changshun, the third squad leader.

Zuo Wangqiu felt the company commander's eyes and whispered: "Company Commander, after the line is broken, don't worry!"

"Yes, company commander, after a row is broken, don't worry!" Yang An seemed to remember something, and then followed a squad leader Zuo Wangqiu and repeated.

This was the promise he had just entered Luodian and Xinzhen area. At that time, the Four-eyed Company Commander was still the first platoon leader, and he often made a promise to the old Company Commander Qiao Yun.

Hearing Zuo Wangqiu's firm voice, Yuan Qifu's heart suddenly rippled. When he heard Yang An repeating this sentence immediately, he realized that the answer had become a row of classics and had been completely left in a row. At this time, he was moved. Thinking that when the shelling was first shot, the old company commander Qiao Yunqi sacrificed to save the old battalion commander, Yuan Qifu's heart felt tragic again. He stretched out his right hand and patted Yang An's arm and said, "Okay! OK! Take care!"

After saying that, the Four-Eyed Company Commander Yuan Qifu withdrew from the position and followed the sound of the troops' footsteps.

As soon as the Four-eyed Company Commander left, Yang An checked the position back and forth. Suddenly, he found a thin figure in a squad of positions and shouted: "Uncle Gen?"

"Hehe!" The thin figure let out a familiar laugh.

"Uncle Gen, didn't the company commander arrange for the kitchen squad and the wounded to evacuate first?"

"Platform leader, my old Cao's hands are itchy!"

Looking at Cao Yougen in front of him, Yang An looked of worry on his face, and then an unknown anger arose in his heart. He turned around and asked, "Squad Leader, why didn't you report?"

"Platform leader, hehe! Uncle Gen warned me that if I dare to report, I will not have the portion of my squad next time I eat charcoal-grilled bacon!" Zuo Wangqiu replied with an embarrassing smile.

Yang An believed that he was not lying, but he knew Uncle Gen’s thoughts. Zuo Wangqiu threw the problem to Uncle Gen again, which made Yang An feel like he was punching him. He paused slightly and said seriously: "Squad Leader Zuo, this is the first time, no second time is allowed!"

"Platform leader, don't blame the squad leader Zuo, it's me, Lao Cao, who wants to kill the Japanese and want to take revenge!"

"I know Uncle Gen's mind, but everyone in the company must obey the company commander's orders. Besides, the entire company wants to eat the food made by Uncle Gen, so you can't let Uncle Gen take this risk!"

In the past few days after arriving at the front line, Uncle Gen took the cooking squad to collect a lot of charcoal in the village burning fire, but he did the opposite. He buried an iron pot and dug "ground dragons" and started cooking in broad daylight. The fifth company actually ate a hot meal a day and drank hot soup and boiling water. This was a treatment that the entire company would never dare to imagine during the period of entering Shanghai. In this way, the entire company accepted Uncle Gen's treasure.

"Everyone is a slaughter, who is still afraid!" Zuo Wangqiu said.

"Okay! One squad leader, one squad is retreating first. If Uncle Gen loses one hair, everyone in the whole company will settle the score with you!"

Hearing this, Uncle Gen felt a warm feeling in his heart, and an admiring smile appeared on his face.
