Ren Changchun looked at the sketch drawn by Zhou Yi and said with disbelief, because according to the markings above, the office area is the only area that is connected to all the other four areas.
But the strange thing is that such an important area with a transportation hub does not seem to be the primary target of the opponent's attack.
Ren Changchun was puzzled by this and could not figure out the reason.
Perhaps seeing the doubts in his heart, Zhou Yi continued to explain patiently: "I believe you can also see that the office area we are in is the only area connected to the other four areas. Logically speaking, it should be
The two sides are competing for the most intense area, but in fact it is not the case. What does this mean? It means that the commander on the opposite side has successfully predicted our defense strategy. So from a strategic and tactical point of view, we have lost."
"Lost?"
"Yes, despite the lively fighting outside, it seems that we have withstood the opponent's offensive, but in fact, we are already trapped here."
Before he finished speaking, a huge explosion sound happened to come from outside.
"Listen, if my judgment is correct, the explosion just now should have come from the raw material area. It is estimated that it will be the warehouse area soon. Exiting the warehouse area is the back door. If we can't find a way before then
Stop them and once they run out, it will be difficult to chase them."
"Then I'll take people over and cut off their escape route!"
After saying this, Ren Changchun was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by Zhou Yi.
"I'm talking about Changchun! How come I just finished praising you for your progress and your old habits are back again? How many times have I told you to use your brain more when encountering problems and never be impulsive! Why can't you remember it? You
Don’t even think about it, even we can think of it, but others can’t think of it? Believe it or not, the people responsible for the response have already controlled the back door, just waiting for you to fall into the trap? "
"Then...what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Rather than moving blindly, it's better not to move. At least we can save our lives!"
Hearing this, Ren Changchun vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain exactly what was wrong, so he finally had to sigh.
But just as he walked out of the room, Lu Ming's voice suddenly rang out, "I heard the conversation you just had."
"you!"
However, before Ren Changchun could speak, Lu Ming spoke first and said: "Don't be too quick to get angry! As for me, although I always have reservations about the section chief's decision, it is undeniable that he is very concerned about the current situation we are in.
The analysis is mostly correct. The only thing I disagree with is that just now, I heard with my own ears that those guys were greeting each other with bandit cuts, so I dare to conclude that those who launched the attack were not rebels at all.
The anti-Japanese elements are just a bunch of rabble occupying the mountains and grasses! The idea of surrounding a point to provide reinforcements, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge, and inviting the emperor into a urn is just a figment of the section chief's imagination. I don't believe that a bunch of bandits and bandits can rebel?"
After saying that, Lu Ming turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, Ren Changchun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Captain Lu! Where are you going?"
"Where else can we go? Naturally, we have led others to cut off their escape route. Are you coming?"
"But Captain Lu, the section chief's order is to stand firm and wait for help. You..."
"Coward! Forget it, if you don't go, I will go by myself. When Deputy Director Gao shows me my merits, don't blame me for not taking you with me!"
After saying that, he led the people out of the office building and headed toward the back door in a hurry...
However, shortly after Lu Ming led the people away, Ren Changchun was startled by Zhou Yi who suddenly appeared behind him.
"Chief of Section... Section, I..."
"Okay, I heard the conversation you two just had. Lu Ming is capable, capable, and has good skills. His attitude towards work is also good. The only shortcoming is that he is very happy with his achievements. This time he
If I can come back alive, maybe I can have a longer memory!"
After saying that, Zhou Yi turned around and returned to the conference room, leaving Ren Changchun alone in the corridor.
At this time, the fighting in the factory had entered a fierce stage, and both the offensive and defensive parties paid a huge price in casualties.
The assault team, which had been at the forefront before, had reached its limit both in terms of physical strength and willpower, and was even on the verge of collapse at any time.
Fortunately, Li Qiang discovered this problem in time, so he immediately made adjustments and ordered Wu Shibao to lead the reserve team to go up, replaced Zheng Sanpao and others, and ordered them to rest while gathering the wounded as much as possible.
.
The guards on the opposite side obviously did not expect that Li Qiang had a hand in reserve, and were caught off guard by the new force led by Wu Shibao. Soon even the last line of defense was breached.
"Zheng Sanpao, take the people to carry the injured and injured to the car first; brother Erhu, take your people to meet the third master at the back door, and be sure to clear all obstacles on the evacuation route; stay here
One team of people is responsible for guarding, and the rest all go into the warehouse and carry everything that can be moved inside to the car for me, quick, quick, quick!"
Following Li Qiang's order, everyone immediately started working.
However, not long after, Luo Houcai's voice came from the roof, "Brother Qiang! Someone brought a team of people out of the office area!"
"Where are you going?"
"back door!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang immediately acted like an ape. Under everyone's surprised gaze, he climbed to the roof in a few seconds and looked in the direction of the back door through the scope on the gun.
Soon, the figure of the team Luo Houcai mentioned was captured.
I saw a group of more than ten people rushing towards the back door led by a tall and burly figure.
Although the distance was far away, Li Qiang still judged from the figure's body shape and gait that the person leading the group was not Zhou Yi, but most likely one of his men.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang vaguely guessed Zhou Yi's thoughts, and then decisively pulled the trigger.
After the gunshot, Lu Ming, who had been running wildly with others before, was shaken violently. He groaned and fell to the ground. Soon, the red blood dyed the sand on the ground red.
Seeing the captain inexplicably shot and falling to the ground in front of him, Lu Ming's men immediately lost their backbone, neither advancing nor retreating.
Just before they figured out what to do, angry bullets were already whizzing through their bodies.
The night is getting darker and the rain has slowed down a bit, which is undoubtedly rare good news for Li Qiang and his party who have been fighting in the rain for more than two hours.
"Master Du, all the trucks are full." Xu Wanhai wiped the rain off his face and reported to Li Qianghui.
"Where are the wounded?"
"They're all loaded into the car too."
"Okay!" After saying that, Li Qiang immediately greeted everyone to get on the bus, and insisted on walking at the end to hold the back for everyone.
A few minutes later, accompanied by an unprecedented loud explosion, a convoy of trucks loaded with arms sped out and disappeared into the vast night rain in the blink of an eye...
However, before everyone had time to celebrate, they encountered new problems.
"what happened?"
"Du heard from Brother Erhu that if he wanted to cross the Qipan Mountain in front of him, there was only this dirt road. But it happened to rain and the front was about to turn into a swamp. You had to get stuck in it if you drove over. You think this is terrible
What should we do?" Xu Wanhai reported to Li Qianghui with his hands tied and a frown on his face.
Li Qiang did not express his position immediately, but ran to the front and took a look in person. He found that, as Xu Wanhai said, the original dirt road had become bumpy and muddy due to the rain. If the car was forced to drive in, it would definitely sink.
You can't move inside.
In that case, all the hard work has been wasted.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang turned to Zhao Erhu and asked: "Brothers Erhu, is there really no other way to go?"
"Yes, yes, but you have to turn around and go out through the north gate."
"Turn around? What's the difference between that and committing suicide?" Xu Wanhai curled his lips and said.
Before he finished speaking, the mountain eagle also poked half of his head out of the car and said: "If you want me to see, I'd better try it first. Maybe the road conditions ahead will be better? Even if the car is really stuck, I'll have to use human power to push it!"
"
Wu Shibao really couldn't stand listening anymore, "I said, do you know how much a truck weighs? Let alone a full load. If it really gets stuck in the mud, just us people together, I'm afraid
There’s no way to pull it out.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Qiang in unison, but for a while Li Qiang didn't think of a better way.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a crisp ringing sound suddenly came from the woods nearby.
It was not long before I saw a group of black figures walking towards the direction of the motorcade from a distance.
"What...what?" Zheng Sanpao, the timidest one, subconsciously took half a step back and asked.
"Can't see clearly, it seems to be a living thing." Xu Wanhai squinted his eyes and took a closer look and analyzed.
"Oh my God! He's not a blind bear, is he?"
"Bullshit! Have you ever seen groups of blind bears?"
"That's not true...but..."
Just when the two of them were still whispering, a deep voice came from the forest, "It's just a few cows, and they scared you like this. Look at your potential! What a bunch of people these days."
Each generation is worse than the last!”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a strong ox pulling a flatbed cart slowly walking out of the forest, followed by five more. It almost looked like it was carved from the same mold as the one pulling the cart.
.
There were four people sitting on the flatbed truck. In addition to Wang Dading, Liu Jinhua and Haitang, there was also an old driver wearing a straw hat.
"Old man, are you speaking too loudly?"
However, before Xu Wanhai could finish his words, the mountain eagle who had been staying in the car had already jumped out of the car, diligently helped the old man who was driving the car out of the car, and called out respectfully, "
Third Uncle".
"Hey, who do I think you are? Isn't this the mistress? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I heard that you are now a father?"
"In front of you, the elder, the younger generation will always be the mistress."
It was only then that the other bandit leaders realized that the old man in front of them was actually the old man who was the leader of the green forest in the four eastern provinces!
However, just when everyone was shocked by the appearance of Lao Qiang, Li Qiang quietly walked up to Haitang and said reproachfully: "This is the back-up plan you kept secret before? Why didn't you tell me?
"
Haitang snorted and replied angrily: "You won't agree to it anyway, so I just won't say it!"
Although the two people spoke in a very low voice, they still couldn't escape the ears of the old man. "You are such a heartless little brat. If I hadn't driven all the cows in my hand to the street and killed the guys who came for reinforcements."
They are all blocked out, how can you kid succeed so easily? Do you know that in order to cover for you, I have spent a lot of money..."
"I asked, are you here to help, or are you here to settle accounts? If you are here to help, hurry up, or the Japanese will catch up soon."
"Look, look, how can anyone be so arrogant when asking for help?"
Despite what the old man said, his hands were never idle for a moment. He tied the cows in groups of two to the front of the truck and smoothly and steadily pulled the heavy trucks one after another through this muddy section.
Terrible mountain road...
…
The next day, after a night of fermentation, the incident quickly spread to the Japanese mainland.
At the joint meeting that day, Matsuoka Yosuke, who originally insisted on moving southward, suddenly made a 180-degree turn.
Not only did he abandon the theory of advancing south and instead adopt the theory of advancing north, he also firmly believed that Germany could quickly defeat the Soviet Union and suggested that Japan immediately attack Siberia and delay the southward advance.
Emperor Showa was naturally surprised by this, because this policy meant expansion in two directions. The ambition was not small, and of course the difficulty was not small.
Naturally, this was strongly opposed by the top military officials headed by Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.
In view of the lessons learned from the Zhang Gufeng and Nomenkan incidents, Tojo did not advocate going to war with the Soviet Union and the United States at the same time.
Even Marine Minister Oikawa Koshiro rarely stood on the same side as Tojo Hideki, saying bluntly: It is really difficult to fight two countries at the same time because the current naval strength is not enough to deal with the Soviet Union and the United States at the same time.
A situation in which two major countries go to war at the same time.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Matsuoka Yosuke made the attack on the Fengtian Arsenal public in front of all members of the meeting, and threatened that this was an open provocation by the Soviet Union against Japan. Then he said something that was not related to his emotions.
If the status of foreign minister is very inappropriate.
The entire meeting fell into silence almost instantly. In the end, in order to take into account Matsuoka Yoyo's face, Prime Minister Konoe Fumima gave in slightly and agreed to let the Kwantung Army conduct military exercises on the "Manchurian-Soviet" border in response.
And just when Matsuoka Yosuke was still complacent that everything was developing in the direction he expected, little did he know that a crisis had quietly arrived...
