I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 45 The whole army retreats
At night, in order to ensure a safe retreat, Xu Qingfeng ordered Sun Kui and Zhang Zhijian to lead the troops to stay hidden and stand by.

He took Chen Qifeng, under the cover of night, quietly dispatched from the reeds where he was hiding, and began to scout the road.

The devils didn't chase out from the sewer for a long time, which means they didn't know that there was another attacking force withdrawing from the sewer.

Therefore, the sewer side is safe.

Therefore, as long as he can find a route where the devils are less prepared, he can take these surviving subordinates back to the national defense zone.

Therefore, Xu Qingfeng took Chen Qifeng and silently scouted around the warehouse.

It was found that the devils were still garrisoning a large number of troops around the warehouse, and the security was indeed much stricter than before.

Seeing this, Xu Qingfeng's heart sank.

He quietly led Chen Qifeng out of the warehouse and headed northwest under the cover of night.

However, not far away, at a fork in the road, a large number of devils were found.

They built several circular fortifications here using sandbags and soil.

Moreover, a large number of light and dark sentries and patrols were deployed around the fortifications.

This directly blocked all Xu Qingfeng's retreat routes.

Seeing this, Chen Qifeng couldn't help but whisper to Xu Qingfeng: "Batalion Commander, why are there so many Japs?"

Xu Qingfeng said: “After all, we just suffered a big loss, so it’s normal to be on high alert.

However, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to pass through the enemy's defense zone in a short time and return to our army's defense zone. "

"Then what should we do?" Chen Qifeng asked softly.

Xu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, and said, "Go back first."

After saying that, he quietly retreated along the original road with Chen Qifeng.

In the reed marsh, Sun Kui and Zhang Zhijian saw Xu Qingfeng coming back so quickly.

They all gathered around and asked in a low voice, "How about it, battalion commander? Can we withdraw?"

Xu Qingfeng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, the enemy is very heavily guarded around here.

If it were just one or two people, they might be able to get away with it.

However, there are hundreds of us, and if we go out rashly, the possibility of exposure is very high. "

"Since the original route is impassable, how about we sneak back along the Huangpu River?" Zhang Zhijian suggested anxiously.

"No, it's too risky!" Xu Qingfeng refused directly: "Not all riversides have such dense reeds to provide us with cover.

The enemy not only has heavy troops stationed on the shore, but also has a navy cruising on the river.

If we are discovered by the enemy on the way back, we will be jointly attacked by the enemy on the shore and on the water.

At that time, there will really be no way to enter the heaven. "

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Zhijian said a little disappointed and even more anxiously.

"Wait!" Xu Qingfeng said concisely.

"Wait?" Zhang Zhijian, Sun Kui and others looked at each other in confusion.

"Yes, stand by and stay hidden, wait for a suitable opportunity to appear, and then break through."

Xu Qingfeng said.

"How long do we have to wait?" Zhang Zhijian asked.

"It's hard to say. It may be one day faster, but it may be three to five days slower."

Xu Qingfeng knew, judging from the situation on the battlefield and the historical trend.

The national army on the Songhu battlefield should be almost unable to support itself. If nothing else, the Japanese army should have secretly formed the 10th Army.

As soon as the national army retreats, the Japanese army will inevitably follow up. At that time, the Japanese front will move forward and they will be busy chasing the national army and capture urban SH.

The alert at the rear will surely relax, and by then this small force of ours will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, Xu Qingfeng couldn't tell them clearly.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhijian said with some worry: "Batalion Commander, continue to lurk, what if the enemy discovers you?

Even if the enemy can't find us, how can we, more than 100 people, eat, drink and scatter? "

"The enemy didn't follow us from the sewers last night, which proves that they don't know our existence.

Therefore, our current position is relatively safe.

Hiding in place and waiting for the opportunity, we still have a chance of survival. If we go out rashly, we will die!

Tell the brothers, eat, drink, and have diarrhea on the spot!There is water here, and the worst that can happen is that you will be hungry for a few days, but it is better than dying!
If you want to live, obey my orders! "

"Yes!" Seeing that what Xu Qingfeng said was reasonable, and he really meant it.

Zhang Zhijian didn't say any more, he and Sun Kui responded one after another, and sent the order to go.

Xu Qingfeng's judgment was correct, now he was facing the battlefield.

The Japanese army had already breached Dachang and lost it. The entire national defense line was shaken and they were forced to withdraw from Zhabei.

Retreating to the southern bank of the Suzhou River and other western suburbs, including the 87th Division where Zhou Weiguo and Xu Qingfeng were located.

Under the night, Zhou Weiguo stood at the front of the temporary position, looking at the soldiers of the 522nd regiment who were slowly retreating.

With mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that Shanghai might not be able to hold on.

The great victory gained by Xu Qingfeng and the soldiers of the Third Battalion at the cost of their lives could not save the overall battlefield decline.

After all, the national army will abandon Zhabei!

Looking ahead, it was the place where he and the soldiers under his command fought bloody battles and stood by their lives.

Zhou Weiguo silently raised his hand and gave a wordless military salute. He didn't put down his arms until all the soldiers under his command had withdrawn, turned and left.

The next day, the Japanese army discovered that the national army was retreating, and indeed they advanced across the board, successively occupying major national defense points such as the old train station.

In less than two days, the battle line was pushed to the bank of Suzhou Creek in one go.

At this point, in the entire area on the north bank of the Suzhou River, except for the more than 88 people of the [-]th Division, they were left in Sihang Warehouse to provide symbolic resistance.

In order to help Principal Chang gain the sympathy and support of the Western powers, there is no other organized national army.

The citizens of Songhu, who were still immersed in the great victory created by Xu Qingfeng three days ago, found that the national army retreated across the board and Zhabei lost all its opponents.

The fighting spirit and confidence that had been soaring with great difficulty plummeted in an instant, and his mood was extremely depressed.

Until the first part of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army invaded the Sixing Warehouse and was suddenly blocked by the defenders of the 88th Division.

Only then did the people realize that there was actually a national army resisting on the north bank.

As a result, countless citizens spontaneously flocked to the south bank across the river to watch the battle.

At the same time, we will do our best to cheer and cheer for the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse, and provide various backup support.

At the same time, Xu Qingfeng and the others, who had been hiding in the reeds for three days, finally got their chance.

Early this morning, Xu Qingfeng, who went out to reconnaissance, discovered that most of the devils in the warehouse and its surroundings had turned away.

The alert level of the devils around here has been greatly reduced.

So Xu Qingfeng immediately returned to the reed swamp and gathered all the soldiers who had been hungry for more than two days and were about to faint from hunger.

Taking them, pretending to be Japanese troops, they began to retreat westward.

At this time, the Japanese front advanced more than ten miles.

In view of the Zhabei and Pudong areas, except for a small group of Chinese troops still resisting in the Sixing Warehouse, there is no opponent.

The command of the Japanese army ordered to leave some troops except the 3rd Division and continue to besiege the Sixing Warehouse.

All the main forces were transferred to the Puxi area to attack the main force of the national army.

Therefore, Xu Qingfeng and his small force were able to move unimpeded behind the originally heavily guarded Japanese army.

The journey went smoothly through the Liugong Temple, where the fierce battle had been fought, and the area at the southern end of Sichuan North Road.

"Battalion Commander, why are there no devils here, and no one from us?"

Walking on the familiar ground, Sun Kui couldn't help but ask Xu Qingfeng.

　There will be another chapter before 12 o'clock, continue to ask for monthly tickets!
