Chapter 259 The regiment leaders are vying to stay and fight the enemy!
The time for Zhou Weimin to return to Hutou Mountain was decided three days ago, and the only people who knew about this news were the officers of the Huben Division in Chidong County.
However, there were too many spies from various forces in Chidong County, and an officer from the Tiger Guard Division accidentally revealed the news while having dinner.
So this news was known to the intelligence personnel of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but this intelligence personnel did not report it to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Instead, he sold the information to the Japanese. This intelligence officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had done this several times.
When the Japanese headquarters learned the news, they knew it was a good opportunity to eliminate Zhou Weimin.
So he quickly planned this ambush.
In fact, the Japanese did not know which route Zhou Weimin would take, so there were ambushes on several routes.
Moreover, the Japanese were closely watching Zhou Weimin's movements.
Originally, there was only one battalion of Japanese soldiers at Langkou Pass, because this place was already somewhat separated from northwest Shanxi.
So the Japanese didn't think Zhou Weimin would take this path.
However, Zhou Weimin stayed there for a night, which gave the Japanese some time and allowed them to send another regiment.
Now there is a regiment and a battalion of Japanese troops at Langkou Pass, totaling more than 5,000 people.
The Tiger Guard Division had less than two thousand men.
"Commander, what should we do now?" the signalman looked at Liu Feng and asked.
"What should we do? What else can we do? We can only fight. I will take the troops up now."
"You must immediately report the situation here to the division commander, Captain Wu, Captain Wang, and others."
After Liu Feng heard what the signalman said, he immediately shouted at him.
After saying that, Liu Feng led the battalion to rush towards Langkou Pass.
After hearing Liu Feng's words, the signalman immediately ran to the troops behind and prepared to report to Zhou Weimin.
In fact, Zhou Weimin and others heard the sound of gunfire when it rang out.
However, Zhou Weimin and others had the same initial idea as Liu Feng, thinking that it was revenge by some bandits.
But after the signalman reported.
Zhou Weimin's face looked extremely ugly. He had never expected that the Japanese would ambush him.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Xu Hu looked at Zhou Weimin and asked.
Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu also surrounded Zhou Weimin, while Qiao Linwei stayed in the car and did not get out.
Because Qiao Linwei knew that she could not help in any way.
"What should I do? What can I do? This is clearly an ambush set by the Japanese."
"Since the Japanese dared to ambush me, they must have known our strength and made a complete plan."
"So the enemy must have more troops than us. Liu Feng is holding on now, but he won't be able to hold on for long."
"Send troops behind us right now to see if there are any Japanese troops."
After hearing Xu Hu's words, Zhou Weimin looked at Wu Qianli, Wang Dali, Xu Hu and others and said.
After Zhou Weimin finished speaking, Xu Hu personally led his troops to the rear to check the situation.
At this time, the sound of gunfire in front became more intense.
"Commander, how about I take some soldiers to support Liu Feng?" Wang Dali looked at Zhou Weimin and said.
After Wang Dali finished speaking, before Zhou Weimin spoke, Xu Hu quickly said, "No, the situation is unclear right now."
"The first thing we have to do is to protect the division commander. The division commander's safety is the most important thing."
After hearing what Xu Hu said, Wang Dali no longer had any intention of supporting Liu Feng.
But at this time, Zhou Weimin moved. He kicked Xu Hu and said to him, "Protection is bullshit."
Then he looked at Wang Dali and said, "Take all the soldiers to support Liu Feng immediately."
"By the way, leave the 200 people from the guard battalion behind, and take the others with you."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Wang Dali did not respond, but looked at Xu Hu and Wu Qianli.
Xu Hu and Wu Qianli knew what Wang Dali meant, but Xu Hu was too afraid to speak.
Wu Qianli was the only one who could speak. He turned to Zhou Weimin and said, "Master, the situation is unclear right now. Your safety is the most important."
"And we don't know what will happen behind us. If Wang Dali leads his troops to support Liu Feng at this time."
"Then if there are Japanese soldiers behind us, the 200 soldiers in the guard battalion may not be able to resist them."
"I think we should wait until Sun Hu comes back and see what happens to us later."
In fact, Wu Qianli didn’t say a few more words, which was what if there were Japanese devils behind him.
They must protect Zhou Weimin and help him break out, and they also need to abandon Liu Feng's vanguard.
And Wang Dali needs to bring some troops to stay behind to block the attack.
Only in this way can Xu Hu protect Zhou Weimin and rush out. Of course, Wu Qianli will stay behind to block the attack if necessary.
At this moment, nothing is more important than Zhou Weimin's safety.
"We should be safe behind us. If there were any Japanese troops, Sun Hu would have opened fire to alert us."
"So now I order Wang Dali to lead his troops to support Liu Feng. Bring the radio with you. If they can't hold out, find a way to break out on their own."
"Wu Qianli, you also take some people with you and immediately seize the commanding heights to build fortifications. Then order the artillery battalion to set up artillery positions immediately."
"At the same time, order the logistics and medical forces to retreat and reunite with Sun Hu, breaking out on their own."
"The soldiers from the guard battalion follow me. If there aren't too many devils, I'll bring the soldiers from the guard battalion to support you, Wang Dali."
"If there are more devils, I will lead the guard battalion to break out on my own."
"When breaking out, head towards northwest Shanxi. As long as you break out, you will be safe."
"Wu Qianli, you too, after the artillery fire is finished, just break out. Don't bring any artillery with you, they will all explode."
After hearing Wu Qianli's words, Zhou Weimin pondered for a while, and then said to Wu Qianli, Xu Hu, Wang Dali and others.
At this time, Zhou Weimin had to make a choice, otherwise he might really be trapped here.
"Commander, I disagree. I suggest that Wang Dali and I stay behind to block the attack, while Xu Hu leads the soldiers of the guard battalion to protect you and break through."
"Give Liu Feng a death order to hold on to the defense and buy time for the commander."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Wu Qianli immediately stood up and said to Zhou Weimin.
After Wu Qianli finished speaking.
Wang Dali and Xu Hu also stood up and said at the same time: "I agree with Wu Qianli's suggestion."
At this moment, Zhou Weimin was both moved and angry.
He was moved because Wu Qianli, Wang Dali and others were obviously prepared to sacrifice their lives to buy him time to escape.
What made him angry was that his orders were no longer effective at this time.
"Commander, there are no devils behind us. We can leave from the back."
"I can stay here to fight and block the enemy, buying the division commander some time."
Sun Hu quickly ran to Zhou Weimin and said to him.
