The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 172 Trouble Starts at Home
When he finished speaking, he asked, "Are there any difficulties right now?"
Xiao Dongbei stood up and said, "Company Commander! We don't have enough explosives and iron pellets to make directional bombs.
"I plan to have each soldier carry a three-kilogram directional bomb, which requires five hundred kilograms.
"We still have vehicles, so I plan to stock up on some."
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Dongbei, "Preparing more isn't a problem, but having the soldiers carry directional bombs, a three-kilogram explosive package equipped with iron pellets, will weigh at least five kilograms.
"What about the soldiers' other supplies?
"Ammunition, grenades, dry rations, water, protective gear, and things like that?
"First, make all the preparations for normal combat.
"Some soldiers can carry some.
"But not everyone needs to carry them.
"Prepare as much as you can; I'll go to the commander to ask for anything we're missing immediately."
In reality, what the Special Company lacked now was explosives and iron pellets.
Lin Fan was stunned when he looked at the amount requested by the squad leaders; it was as if all eight squads had agreed on it.
Each squad requested one thousand kilograms of explosives and two thousand kilograms of iron pellets.
No one requested any other supplies.
Originally, the most difficult thing to solve was fuel, but when they were in Nanzha Town, they dragged back all the oil drums the Japanese had stored in the town.
Distributing them was enough for now.
The supplies originally seized by the Special Company also included a lot of explosives.
It was just that everyone had seen the scene of Ye Dadan, Liu Laopao, and the others using directional bombs to eliminate the Japanese early this morning.
Coupled with the explanations of the two, they now had new ideas.
Therefore, the demand for explosives increased.
Lin Fan took ten vehicles and rushed to the general headquarters of the Jiangyin defense area.
He went to see Liu Xing and ask him for it.
At this time, Liu Xing had already reported to Nanjing the dazzling achievement of personally commanding the 112th Division's night attack on Nanzha, eliminating more than two thousand Japanese soldiers stationed there.
They captured a Type 88 150mm howitzer, destroyed six Japanese tanks, captured one tank, captured eighteen Type 92 infantry guns, thirty Type 82 mortars, and various other weapons.
Now he was in the command post, listening to reports from the Nanjing intelligence front: there were large-scale Japanese troop movements from Changzhou, Wujin, and Wuxi.
The direction of these large-scale Japanese troop movements was all towards Jiangyin.
Each of the intelligence personnel reported that the number of Japanese troop movements in each direction was more than seven thousand.
Liu Xing was now looking at the sand table, inserting flags representing the Japanese in three directions.
His brow was furrowed, and the officers in the entire combat command room looked at the sand table, all silently.
Originally, they were already struggling to deal with the Japanese 13th Division.
Now that the Japanese had added the strength of a full one and a half divisions, it was even more difficult.
At this moment, a guard came to report, "Special Company Commander Lin Fan requests to see you."
Liu Xing said without thinking, "Let him come here."
Lin Fan walked into the Jiangyin defense area combat command post, which should be the most confidential place in Jiangyin.
Seeing him arrive, Liu Xing pointed to the three flags that had just been inserted and said, "The Japanese have reinforced their troops from three directions again.
"At least one brigade in each direction.
"Company Commander Lin, what are your thoughts on this?"
Lin Fan had come to ask for equipment and had not expected to be brought directly here.
He looked at the sand table here, which was similar to the one he had made.
However, the markings of the enemy and our side on the sand table in the Special Company were far less accurate than here.
After thinking for a while, Lin Fan said seriously, "I dare not say!"
Everyone present actually knew what to do at this time.
But no one dared to say it!
If the reputation of fearing the enemy like a tiger were placed on anyone, that person would be ruined for life.
Maybe they would even be punished by military law.
Liu Xing encouraged him, "This is a military discussion, not a decision; it's okay to say anything now.
"Say it, and we can discuss the gains and losses.
"Once a decision is made:
"After leaving here, nothing can be said.
"All actions can only be carried out according to orders."
The commander's words were absolutely correct.
Lin Fan picked up the pointer and pointed to places like Xiagang Town and Xiagang, "In the past few days, the Japanese forces have been insufficient, and they have not yet deployed their forces in these places.
"If the three brigades they have mobilized arrive,
"Not only will the places where we previously endured pressure be subjected to more violent attacks by the Japanese,
"These places that have not been attacked by the Japanese before will also become new battlefields.
"We have the support of fortress artillery behind us, so we can still hold on for a while.
"However, this requires a prerequisite: replenishing the losses of the frontline soldiers.
"Fighting will definitely result in deaths.
"The Japanese have definitely lost more people than us in the past few days, so they have replenished at least 25,000 people this time.
"What about us?
"If we can replenish our losses in these few days today or tonight,
"We will definitely be able to hold on.
"Judging from the locations where the Japanese set out, the Japanese will be able to reach the periphery of the defense area by the afternoon.
"With such a large force, the possibility of launching a night attack is unlikely.
"Tomorrow will be the Japanese's general offensive, and they will definitely not give up their waterborne attack at the same time.
"Our reinforcements must arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest.
"Otherwise, even if we can hold on tomorrow, the casualties of the troops will definitely be very high."
Among the officers in the entire command post, some nodded slightly, obviously supporting Lin Fan's explanation.
Some scoffed, but it was unknown why.
Liu Xing thought for a moment, "If there are no reinforcements? What should we do?"
Lin Fan said decisively, "Two preparations: Hold fast! Await orders!"
When he said the two preparations, everyone thought he would have some long speech.
Unexpectedly, there were only four words.
"Hold fast! Await orders?" Liu Xing immediately understood.
Holding fast was the duty of the entire Jiangyin defense area, which definitely didn't need to be said.
Await orders! That was the point.
Waiting for what orders? Waiting for whose orders?
If it was just an order to hold fast, it would be completely redundant. Now, the only ones who could order Liu Xing were the Nanjing headquarters.
Liu Xing's eyes lit up, "Are you saying..."
Seeing these old foxes, one by one, not saying things clearly.
They clearly knew everything in their hearts, but they didn't say it.
Nor did they do it; when the time came, they would run away in a swarm.
Leaving those soldiers who were still holding fast on the front line to the Japanese.
Letting those soldiers fend for themselves.
In the eyes of some old foxes, soldiers were just cannon fodder; if one batch was thrown away, another batch could be recruited.
It was as if these soldiers could be consumed infinitely.
Lin Fan knew that these soldiers were the backbone of the entire nation; without these old foxes, others would stand up.
Without these ordinary soldiers, these old foxes would have nothing.
The backbone of the nation was never some big shot; if a nation gave its backbone to the big shots,
Then it would have no backbone at all.
In order to allow those soldiers who were truly fighting on the front line to survive a little longer,
Lin Fan sighed; he had to spell things out, and he had said these words several times.
"Nanjing is now implementing a strategy of resistance with retreat; we are fiercely fighting the Japanese here.
"It's not asking us to all die here.
"When the Japanese attack is too fierce, the order to retreat will definitely be issued.
"I suggest the commander prepare a retreat route and a retreat plan in advance.
"Lest we repeat the mistakes of the Shanghai retreat.
"A prepared retreat is a strategic shift.
"An unprepared retreat is a battlefield rout."
Lin Fan's words were obviously criticizing the Shanghai retreat commanded by Chiang Kai-shek.
Immediately, someone shouted loudly, "You coward! A mere company commander dares to talk nonsense in the commander-in-chief's command post, slandering the leader.
"Men! Take him down and send him to the military court for investigation." Quan Yutang, the chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Jiangfang Command, ordered.
Lin Fan did not expect this situation to occur, and he was secretly shocked: he had been careless.
In his opinion, now was the most difficult time in the War of Resistance against Japan, and the Nanjing government should not attack him.
In fact, he didn't know: if his Special Company's combat effectiveness was weaker and suffered a few defeats,
No one would make things difficult for him.
No one would pay attention to an ant.
But his Special Company's achievements these days were too dazzling.
Especially early this morning, more than 1,000 people wiped out more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, and there were so many gains.
Most importantly, in the past, the Special Company's achievements were reported by the Special Company itself.
Whether they believed it or not, they pretended to believe it.
This was a common problem on the battlefield, a tradition of thousands of years, and no one would really care.
Last night, Chief Quan Yutang had secretly gone to see the results of the Special Company's battle.
The cannons, the clothes and leather shoes stripped from the Japanese soldiers, all proved that the Special Company's achievements early this morning were completely real.
Night attack, one against three?
Such a team was in the National Army's sequence, but it was not the National Army.
This made many people unable to sleep.
Therefore, there was this scene now, and Lin Fan was already thinking about how to resist.
When two military police rushed in, two meters away from Lin Fan,
Lin Fan suddenly spoke, "Commander Liu! What do you say?"
Everyone noticed that this company commander's eyes were sharp, scanning the entire command post!
The two military police who had just rushed in were swept by his gaze and couldn't help but stop.
The two military police stood two meters away from Lin Fan.
Outside the Jiangyin defense area command post, Squad Leader Feng Junya was waiting with the soldiers of the direct-controlled squad for Lin Fan to come out.
Wu Xiaobao rushed out of the command post, and several soldiers were chasing behind him.
With a wave of Feng Junya's hand, the Special Company soldiers, who were originally gathered in twos and threes talking and chatting, had already rushed over.
When they started, they were running separately.
After three steps, these soldiers had all formed three-person attack squads.
Some soldiers rushed towards Wu Xiaobao to meet him.
Some soldiers of the Special Company had already rushed to the distance of the courtyard; they were trying to seize the high ground.
Feng Junya himself had already jumped into the carriage, and the muzzle of the anti-aircraft machine gun was aimed at the building of the command post.
The other two vehicles started and rushed straight out.
Ji Wudi also set up the mortar.
For a time, the Special Company soldiers outside the entire Jiangyin defense area command post were facing a formidable enemy.
When had those military police who were chasing Wu Xiaobao ever been aimed at by so many gun muzzles?
Zhao Long protected Wu Xiaobao behind him, and their dozen soldiers surrounded the five military police who were chasing out with bayonets.
Wu Xiaobao ran to Feng Junya and said, "They want to arrest the company commander!"
Ji Wudi was immediately anxious when she heard this, "Should we rush in?"
Feng Junya calmly said, "Wait a minute! Control the outside first."
Ji Wudi: "It will be too late if we wait."
Wu Xiaobao also said, "It will be too late if we wait!"
Ji Wudi shouted loudly, "Follow me to save the company commander!"
She didn't care about the mortar that had just been set up; she picked up her rifle and rushed towards the command post.
Wu Xiaobao followed closely behind her.
Feng Junya had no choice but to order, "Yan Yuda, take twenty people and follow them; be careful not to be the first to fire."
"Qian Jiayi! Immediately prepare the anti-aircraft gun and aim it at the command post, waiting for orders at any time."
At this time, the two vehicles of the Special Company's direct-controlled team that had just started had rushed out of the command post and were heading towards Jiangyin County.
In the command post, Commander Liu Xing looked at Chief Quan Yutang and then at Lin Fan.
He had to smooth things over and said, "Chief Quan, Company Commander Lin just made an unintentional mistake.
"See if we can just let it go."
He said to Lin Fan again, "Company Commander Lin, Chief Quan is a firm supporter of the War of Resistance against Japan.
"There must be some misunderstanding between you.
"Why don't you go with them and explain it?"
Lin Fan was about to speak when a gunshot suddenly came from outside.
Then there was a burst of dense gunfire.
Lin Fan recognized it: it was the sound of a heavy machine gun.
Everyone in the entire combat command room suddenly changed their expressions: the security here was tight, how could there be gunfire?
Fortunately, the gunfire only lasted for a while and then stopped.
"What's going on?" Liu Xing roared sternly.
A soldier rushed in, looking nervous, and said, "Report, Commander! The Special Company has rebelled!"
Lin Fan's body suddenly swayed, and his steps moved quickly.
Before the officers present could react, Lin Fan was already standing next to Commander Liu Xing.
Lin Fan said coldly, "This must be a false report!"
He was standing next to Commander Liu Xing, and everyone knew that Lin Fan wanted to use the commander as a hostage.
It was just that Lin Fan's pistol was not taken out at all, and his expression was the same as before, without much change.
Commander Liu Xing was shocked when he heard the report from the soldier who came in.
Seeing Lin Fan's actions just now, he was even more shocked. At this time, he remembered what Chief of Staff Zhang Boting of the 88th Division had said.
At that time, he said how Lin Fan single-handedly overwhelmed the three tycoons of Shanghai in Huang Jinrong's Great World.
He knew that at such a close distance, he would definitely not be faster than Lin Fan, and now he was already a hostage.
It was just that the two sides had not yet broken face.
Commander Liu Xing's face sank, "What exactly is going on?"
The soldier stammered, "Just now, wasn't the command post going to arrest Company Commander Lin?
"His guards didn't cooperate with the military police's actions.
"Suddenly, they ran away, and when our people chased them out, they were detained by the people from the Special Company.
"Not only that, but they also aimed heavy machine guns, machine guns, and mortars at the command post.
"Many soldiers are occupying high ground everywhere."
Director Jin's face was gloomy, "Commander Liu! The Special Company is plotting to rebel and is in league with the Japanese.
..."
Lin Fan's expression became more and more impatient, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!
"However, I will never say too much like you."
"Pa!" A gunshot rang out.
The eyes of the entire command post were originally all on Lin Fan.
This time, they saw it even more clearly; Lin Fan's actions of drawing his gun, firing, and putting it away were all done in one go.
Quan Yutang's face showed an incredible expression, with a small hole in the center of his forehead.
His body slowly tilted forward and suddenly fell on the sand table in the command post.
Fresh blood flowed over this position where the command was located, quickly staining the entire area red.
"We never procrastinate in doing things; this is the case when fighting the Japanese.
"This is the case when dealing with the enemy, and this is also the case when dealing with those who slander us." Lin Fan continued to finish his words.
Ji Wudi, who had rushed in, had already led more than twenty soldiers from the Special Company and driven all the dozen or so military police who were waiting outside into the command post.
Lin Fan smiled at Ji Wudi, "I'm fine; you guys just guard outside and don't come in."
Liu Xing now resented Chief Quan Yutang to death: he had turned a good thing into what it was now.
How could he clean up the mess?
Fortunately, Quan Yutang was already dead, and he could only bear the blame alone.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing's face sank, and he shouted loudly at the dozen or so military police squeezed into the combat command room, "What are you doing in here?
"This is a confidential place.
"Leave a person in charge, and the rest of you get out."
He said to Lin Fan again, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding. This happened too suddenly.
"No one knew about it in advance."
Immediately, many people echoed, "Yes! Yes! We didn't know about it in advance!"
Someone also said, "Chief Quan is treating meritorious officials like this; it's too much."
The Special Company had just fought a big battle early this morning, and it hadn't even been a day yet.
"When the birds are all killed, the hounds are cooked! Even if that's the case, it's too early now; the enemy is still watching covetously.
"So this must be a misunderstanding," someone explained.
Commander Liu Xing pressed his hands down, "Everything today was Quan Yutang's personal behavior.
"It's not the Jiangyin defense area's behavior.
"Quan Yutang was colluding with the Japanese, intending to kill our army's meritorious personnel and deliberately fabricating lies, intending to disrupt our Jiangyin defense area's formation.
"The Japanese have been attacking my Jiangyin Fortress for a long time without success and have used senior personnel hidden within our army to try to disintegrate us from within.
"Company Commander Lin discovered it in time, stopped it in time, and prevented the situation from further deteriorating.
"He has made meritorious service to the country and to the Jiangyin defense area."
Listening to Commander Liu Xing's words, all the plans that Lin Fan had just prepared could be abandoned.
At this time, Lin Fan was really unwilling to use the plans he had just made.
Commander Liu Xing asked, "Company Commander Lin! What do you think?"
Lin Fan immediately responded, "Commander Liu has keen eyes and can see everything clearly. This subordinate discovered Quan Yutang's true face and had to decisively execute him on the spot in order to prevent greater damage."
Commander Liu Xing's gaze slowly swept across the entire command post.
He saw ridicule, resentment, and relief on the faces of the officers present.
He nodded, then ordered, "Men! Drag Quan Yutang's body out.
"Report to the higher-ups according to what I just said."
Immediately, two military police walked in from outside, and they carried Quan Yutang out.
At this time, Lin Fan said, "Commander Liu! I didn't expect such a situation to occur; there were actually Japanese spies in the command post.
"Originally, I just wanted to express my views on the current situation in a small range."
Commander Liu said, "This matter has already passed; continue with what you were saying."
Lin Fan picked up the pointer again and pointed to the various defense lines in the Jiangyin defense area, "Holding fast, as I said just now, all the troops have been doing this all these days, no matter how great the casualties.
"Waiting for orders! I don't know how the various troops are doing it.
"In my opinion, waiting for orders, we cannot be passive.
"All troops must be active, especially those main forces on the front line.
"The command regiment should have a thorough understanding of all the roads in the entire defense area.
"When the commander mobilizes the various departments at night, they should be able to quickly, orderly, and inconspicuously shuttle through our entire defense area.
"Not only must they understand the major roads in the entire defense area, but they must also understand the small roads."
Everyone present was attracted by Lin Fan's statement.
They were no longer paying attention to what had just happened.
Anyway, it was better for a fellow Taoist to die than oneself!
Although there was a feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox grieving, it was all Quan Yutang's own fault.
Commander Liu asked, "Is it necessary for all the frontline troops to know the defense area routes?"
Lin Fan nodded heavily, "A plan for retreating layer by layer and blocking layer by layer can also be formulated within the defense area.
"If a retreat order really comes down, let the frontline troops quickly retreat to the second line, and the troops on the first and second lines retreat together to the third line.
"This can avoid being defeated one by one."
Commander Liu Xing looked at Lin Fan, "When do you think this order will come?"
Lin Fan looked left and right, "I dare not say!"
Commander Liu Xing said sternly, "This matter is top secret; no one is allowed to discuss or spread it after hearing it.
"Violators will be dealt with by military law!"
Lin Fan then drew a horizontal line in the air with the pointer.
"The first?"
"Tonight!"
"Why?" Liu Xing asked the question in everyone's heart in the command post.
It was the afternoon of the thirtieth now, and the first was tomorrow.
Lin Fan said with a serious expression, "What place do the Japanese want to attack with all their heart?"
"Nanjing!"
Everyone knew the answer to this question.
"What is their purpose in mobilizing troops from Wuxi, Changzhou, and Jingjiang at this time?
"Are these troops not going to attack Nanjing?"
Lin Fan's question stumped everyone.
"No! They are clearing obstacles for the attack on Nanjing.
"With the Jiangyin Fortress in our hands, the Japanese navy cannot get through, and it also guards the southern gate of Nanjing.
"At the same time, it also guards the side of Nanjing near the river.
"The Japanese can only attack from two directions.
"At the same time, they must always be prepared to be cut off by our army, starting from Jiangyin, in cooperation with the troops that have retreated into the mountains."
Lin Fan's pointer traced a line along the entire Xicheng line.
It kept pointing all the way to Yixing.
Everyone's eyes lit up: hold on and close the door to beat the dog.
Lin Fan looked at the shining eyes of these people.
After all, they were the same skin and flowed the same blood.
These people all wanted to save the situation from collapsing.
This idea of closing the door to beat the dog was very good.
If it was at the beginning of the war, the National Army's equipment strength could be tried.
Now it was impossible, unless there was intervention from a major external power.
Maybe only 50,000, at most 100,000 troops, would definitely be able to defeat all the strength and spirit that the Japanese had accumulated for a hundred years.
The Second World War would not happen again.
Dreams were very full, but reality was still very bony.
Lin Fan sighed, "Everyone, don't think too much; just think about it.
"This is an impossible thing to do.
"So the result can only go in another direction.
"The Japanese heavy troops, with the strength of a thousand pounds, want to take the fortress as quickly as possible.
"Tomorrow, we will usher in the most difficult day, and the losses will exceed everyone's imagination.
"The order from above will come down."
Lin Fan's words were finished, and the entire combat command room was quiet for a long time.
Finally, Commander Liu Xing clapped lightly, "Company Commander Lin's views are indeed reasonable to a certain extent.
"We need to study it."
This was an eviction order.
Lin Fan smiled bitterly, "Commander! The problem here is solved. I'm afraid the outside is going to be turned upside down.
"I haven't said what I came here for today yet."
Commander Liu Xing asked, "What's the matter?"
"Report, Commander! The Special Company is requesting these two supplies." Lin Fan handed over the report.
Liu Xing looked at it, "Ten tons of explosives! Twenty tons of iron pellets!"
"I can understand you wanting explosives, but what's the use of these iron pellets?"
Lin Fan said with a smile, "Wrap them up and put them outside the explosives. When they explode, tens of thousands of fragments will fly out.
"The destruction of living forces is devastating."
Liu Xing thought for a moment, "Did you do this in Nanzha?"
Lin Fan nodded, "This is most effective against chasing and escaping troops. Just install it in advance on the side of the road they are going to take.
"Within a hundred meters in front, not one out of ten will survive!"
This time Liu Xing was really happy, "Write a method of use and submit it.
"I'll sign for these two things!"
Lin Fan said embarrassedly, "Commander! I don't know what's going on with my company now."
Liu Xing said, "Just send someone out."
Lin Fan: "Please also send a staff officer to go with me, Commander!"
"Staff Officer Liu, you go!" Liu Xing was very direct.
Everyone in the entire defense area knew that Liu Hua was his nephew.
Lin Fan shouted loudly, "Wudi! Accompany Staff Officer Liu Hua back immediately and tell the Special Company to stand by.
"In the face of the enemy, don't conflict, and don't cause misunderstandings.
"Also, let Squad One come up to pick up the goods."
Ji Wudi was outside the door, "Yes!"
Ji Wudi's existence in the Special Company was somewhat different.
Everyone knew that she was the least likely to betray Lin Fan. As for why?
Just look at the way she looked at Lin Fan and you would know.
Sending her could reassure those people in the Special Company.
Lin Fan looked at Commander Liu Xing, "It only takes a few words to write this thing out.
"Why don't I do a demonstration on the spot, and the commander can have your subordinates write it down."
As soon as he said it, he did it.
Lin Fan randomly found a piece of cloth here and hugged a pile of sand table soil in the corner, "This is the iron pellet."
He put the bag of soil on a stool, "This stool is the explosive package. Just put it on one side.
"When using it, bury this underground, and it will be a landmine.
"But the effect is not very good.
"The best way is to put it in a place like this: with hard rocks behind blocking it, so that all the shock waves go in one direction."
While speaking, Lin Fan placed the bag of soil in the corner, facing one direction:
"The enemy is coming from that direction, and the iron pellet is facing that direction. Back against the stone wall, big stone.
"If that doesn't work, then a mud wall is fine."
"How to detonate it?" someone asked.
Lin Fan said with a smile, "We have always pulled it manually. Be sure to pay attention when using it.
"Three kilograms of explosives can threaten a range of 100 meters.
"People who are one hundred meters ahead in this direction are all within the range of power."
He pointed to the area in front of the bag of soil.
"Be sure not to hurt yourself."
"So simple!" Everyone had the same idea.
Isn't it just sticking a layer of iron pellet outside the explosive package?
Lin Fan finished explaining, "Commander! Can I leave now?"
"You can leave!
"Also, if you go to Nanjing! Be careful!" Commander Liu Xing added.
Lin Fan paused, "Commander! What did you say just now?"
"Do you believe what I said? Do I believe it? Or will the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau believe it?
"They won't openly do anything to you, but as long as you have a fault and are caught, they will definitely not let you go." Liu Xing said with a smile.
"But! You clearly told me to speak freely just now." Lin Fan still wanted to argue.
"Yes, I didn't expect that old Quan, that fool, would actually disregard the overall situation.
"What time is it now? They are still holding on to the ideas of two years ago.
"The Military Intelligence Bureau is a place I can't interfere in.
"But Company Commander Lin, rest assured that in my defense area, you are still as safe as before."
"Believe you a ghost! The old man is very bad." Lin Fan secretly complained in his heart.
Seeing Lin Fan walk out of the Jiangyin defense area command post, Feng Junya breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Fan looked at the tense atmosphere in the yard and said with a smile, "Old Feng! Well done."
He didn't put on a show here: deliberately scolding his subordinates to give the officers on the Jiangyin defense area side a way out.
Lin Fan looked at the defenses in the entire yard and nodded, "Not bad! Not bad! You've all done a good job.
"With your current defenses, you can at least hold off an attack of a thousand people for three hours."
Lin Fan's comments made the faces of the National Army soldiers in the yard turn blue and white.
Lin Fan asked, "What happened to the gunfire outside just now?"
Feng Junya pointed to the east, "There was a soldier there who was unwilling to give way and fired a warning shot into the sky.
"I also fired a warning shot; who is afraid of guns?
"I was just scaring him; I didn't even fire the machine gun."
Lin Fan praised Feng Junya and got into the car to collect today's equipment.
At this time, the two cars that had rushed out of the gate had rushed into Jiangyin County, the temporary station of the Special Company.
Li Xian heard that something had happened to Lin Fan in the Jiangyin defense area command post.
He immediately ordered the entire company to prepare to transfer.
The Special Company, which was still training normally, immediately took action.
No matter what, the Special Company had to find a way out of the city.
Combining the fact that the two cars had just driven into the city and had not been attacked,
Li Xian ordered Chen Sichuan's squad to leave the city in the name of a march and stay at the city gate first, so as not to be surrounded.
He also ordered people to immediately prepare to change the twelve Type 92 howitzers from combat status to marching status.
These cannons must be towed away!
Squads Two, Three, Four, and Five immediately established defenses around the entire station, preparing to deal with possible attacks.
Squad Seven was immediately prepared to take away the cannons.
Originally, these cannons belonged to the direct-controlled team, but now that they were trapped in the Jiangyin command post, the guard squad could only do these jobs.
It was impossible to change the twelve Type 92 howitzers from firing posture to marching status in less than an hour.
The entire Special Company acted urgently.
Their abnormalities also attracted the attention of the 112th Division.
Huo Shouyi sent a signal soldier to ask about the situation: Li Xian only said that the Special Company was preparing to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese had not taken action today and to mobilize and train again.
This time they were preparing to train outside the city.
Huo Shouyi believed this reason!
The Special Company loved to train, which was known to all the troops in the entire Jiangyin defense area.
He didn't take it to heart!
At this moment, Liu Xing personally called and told what had happened in the Jiangyin defense area command post.
He asked Huo Shouyi to pay close attention to the Special Company: be careful of them doing small things.
The three giants of the division headquarters looked at each other: they had just told Lin Fan in the morning to avoid them?
This was difficult to do!
Li Lanchi thought for a moment, "They are only defending now and have not launched an attack.
"More than a hundred people are dawdling at the North Gate, probably because they are afraid that we will turn against them.
"At that time, they will seize the city gate.
"In that case, let's pretend that nothing happened and wait!"
Huo Shouyi said angrily, "At this time, why is the Military Intelligence Bureau creating trouble?
"Isn't this forcing a good person to become a prostitute?"
Wang Zhaozhi thought for a moment and said, "This team's combat effectiveness is too strong, and the higher-ups are a little afraid.
"We teams on the front line, of course, hope that our teammates are stronger.
"But for some people above, too strong an allied army is not a good thing after all?"
"The enemy is at hand, aren't the higher-ups afraid of hurting people's hearts by doing this?"
"If they succeed, no one will remember the dead.
"They will be forgotten in a few days.
"Living is the most important thing!" Wang Zhaozhi said.
The Special Company had not finished its evacuation work in Jiangyin City, and Ji Wudi came over with Staff Officer Liu Hua of the Jiangfang Defense Area.
They went directly into the Special Company's camp.
Ji Wudi told Li Xian Lin Fan's original words.
Li Xian immediately understood and immediately ordered, "Squad One immediately go to the Jiangyin defense area command post to pull the equipment back.
"Fully armed! Pay attention to the surrounding situation!"
Letting Li Xian add a squad to go was Lin Fan's original intention to prevent accidents.
Ji Wudi accompanied Staff Officer Liu Hua to the 112th Division Headquarters.
Liu Hua said with a smile to Division Commander Huo, "Misunderstanding! Everything today is a misunderstanding!
"All of this was done by Quan Yutang alone.
"Now the impact has been cleared."
Seeing Staff Officer Liu Hua coming over, the 112th Division could really feel relieved.
Staff Officer Liu Hua was Commander Liu Xing's nephew and a confidant among Commander Liu Xing's confidants.
It seemed that the matter had really been resolved.
Division Commander Huo and the others wanted to ask what was going on, but the female soldier of the Special Company never left Staff Officer Liu Hua.
The female soldier was followed by ten soldiers of the Special Company.
Staff Officer Liu Hua said with a bitter smile, "Company Commander Lin Fan will be back in a while; you can go back."
Ji Wudi said seriously, "I have to guard you, in case you guys play tricks behind our backs!"
"Only women and villains are difficult to deal with; if you get close to them, they will be disrespectful, and if you stay away from them, they will complain," Staff Officer Liu Hua said deliberately.
"I'm a woman, so I'm not afraid of you saying that. But you, how many battles have we fought these days?
"How many Japanese devils have we killed, and you actually said that our company commander is a spy!
"If you want to frame someone, at least be serious!
"Is this how you do things?
"You're too lazy to find a good reason, and you just want to arrest our company commander!"
The three giants of the 112th Division only knew that Lin Fan had killed Quan Yutang, the chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Jiangyin Defense Area, in a fit of anger in the Jiangfang Combat Command Room.
They didn't know that there was also a charge of Lin Fan being a spy before that!
The contempt in the eyes of the three people was obvious.
Staff Officer Liu Hua sighed
