Wu Peifu's team was marching nervously. The landmine bomb just now made the soldiers frightened. The speed of the soldiers in the front line slowed down obviously. Although Wu Peifu sent the soldier's commander to urge him several times and even used the riding whip, the team's ground speed was still very low.
There is no obvious improvement.
Wu Peifu also knew that his soldiers were frightened by the enemy's bombs, mines and black guns. He would rather let his superiors give him two more whips than risk his life and advance quickly.
This is exactly what Han Baihang wants. By containing and harassing the enemy, he wants to make the enemy consciously slow down. As long as he cannot reach Peiping before dawn, his mission will be considered completed.
Wu Peifu knew that this speed was definitely not possible. If he could reach Peiping at this time, wouldn't it be a mistake for him? So he called the commander of his soldiers, a brigade commander and two regiment commanders of the soldiers.
, the three of them served as the vanguard of the team and walked at the front of the team. One of these three military officers was Li Yue.
Li Yue didn't want to come out, but he didn't have time to think about it. Marshal Wu directly ordered him to be a general and said that he was one of his best generals. Li Yue couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried.
In the past, I could only come out shamelessly.
The other two officers originally wanted to say a few words, but when they saw Wu Peifu's face, they swallowed their words obediently. They had better take the initiative. If Marshal Wu turned against him, he would call the soldiers.
If you push yourself to walk in front, you will not only contradict Dashuai Wu, but you will also be thrown into grandma's house.
The three of them were like brothers in distress, their eyes full of grievances. Although there was still a trace of determination in their steps, it was like this anyway. What's the use of being aggrieved anymore? Just come and come. Just ask God to bless you and never let yourself step on it.
Mines.
If there is a landmine that cannot be avoided, don't let yourself step on it even if your companions around you step on it.
When the soldiers at the back saw several officers coming to the front, they were still very happy and interesting. Some soldiers who were often bullied by these few soldiers were already happy. They used to call themselves "Thunder Thunder", but now,
You, old man, enjoy this feeling by yourself!
Although Li Yue and the other three were walking in the front, their calves were weak, but when they thought of Wu Peifu and Marshal Wu personally holding a gun and supervising the battle behind him, they slowed down and picked up speed again. A few people thought together, if they don't move forward quickly, Wu Peifu will really
If he dared to shoot, he was already anxious at this time. If he dared to delay the troop's march, it would not be a pity for him to shoot one or two people. Besides, Marshal Wu had done this kind of thing often, and he could be said to be familiar with the road.
Got it!
Then you can only move forward. If you are unlucky and step on a landmine, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. Besides, the enemy is not much faster than you when you set out, so how can you get there so quickly?
Landmines were placed everywhere. Furthermore, even if landmines were placed, why did they have to be on this road? The road to Peiping bifurcated in three ways. How could they guess so accurately?
Taking a step back, even if a mine is planted here, he may not be able to blow himself up. Thinking about it this way, the probability is too small. The steps of the three people suddenly became much faster, and the entire team
The speed has also been improved.
Wu Peifu nodded gently from behind. Yes, these three people are good. If they win Peiping, they must be promoted.
Wu Peifu's team came to this three-way intersection, and as expected, he chose to pass through Centipede Ridge.
Han Donglin had already seen the local team. Wu Peifu's team had a large number of people and was unwilling to hide. It was naturally very conspicuous in this dark night. Han Donglin had been watching this team early and watched them slowly arrive at this place.
Wu Peifu's team took a few steps forward when suddenly, Li Yue in front of them shouted, as if they had encountered something impossible.
Although Wu Peifu was on horseback and at the rear of the team, he still heard the shouts from the front. His first reaction was: another landmine explosion occurred. But then he thought about it, what if it exploded and he didn't hear the explosion first?
How about this kid running around and shouting?
Wu Peifu patted his head and cursed: "Grandma, there are bombs and landmines along the way. I'm confused!"
After saying that, he rode forward and went to the front to see what happened.
Before Wu Peifu could reach the front of the team, a soldier ran back to report. Wu Peifu ignored it and walked directly to the front of the team. Looking at it, all the bodies lying on the road in front were corpses wearing the uniforms of his own team. This
It really shocked Wu Peifu.
Where did so many people die here, and were they still their own? Wu Peifu was puzzled.
Suddenly, he slapped his head and remembered that the only one in his team who was separated from him was the first battalion of Li Yue's regiment. Could it be that these are all members of the first battalion?
Wu Peifu called Li Yue, the commander of the regiment in front, over. On the surface, he didn't say anything about the first battalion, but just asked Li Yue to go over and check.
This Li Yue is not a stupid person. He is a little timid, but who is not afraid of death? However, there are not many stupid people who can feel the position of leader.
Why are there so many people here, but the Marshal and others don't call him, but ask him to come forward to check? Besides, Li Yue has also considered where these people come from, and his conclusion is almost exactly the same as Wu Peifu's.
At that time, Marshal Wu asked him to come forward and check. It was obvious that he was asking him to identify whether he was one of his own. And if he was really his own, he would never say anything about leaving the first battalion behind. This is what happened.
The real intention of the commander-in-chief.
Li Yue's head turned like this, and he immediately understood the cause of the matter, and then slowly stepped forward to check.
Li Yue turned over the front of a person and found that it was a man from his own battalion. He pulled another person and found that it was a soldier from his first battalion. He pulled five or six people. Li Yue found the body of the battalion commander among them.
In other words, almost the entire battalion was wiped out.
Even if the battalion commander is gone, there is no need to think about the other soldiers who will definitely not escape.
Li Yue got this answer. Although he was very reluctant to accept it, he still had to come back and report to Marshal Wu Peifu.
When Wu Peifu heard Li Yue's affirmative answer, although he was angry, at this time, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be of no use. The question now was how to explain the problem of the First Battalion appearing here.
