Zhang Qingshan and more than a hundred people including Zhang Qingshan heard the sound of the military horns of the response troops, and everyone was extremely excited, but now they faced a huge obstacle mixed with enemy battalions and reinforced companies.

Although the sound of the bugle can convey some basic messages, it cannot deliver accurate messages. Otherwise, you just need to use the bugle and tell the other party to take action.

Besides, they still have a problem now: how to go next step to meet with the support troops. And the earlier you must meet, the better, so as to avoid dreaming more nights in this dangerous place. Besides, everyone's mood of eagerness to meet with the support troops for so long can imagine that even Zhang Qingshan himself was so excited that he wanted to cry when he heard the military call of the support troops, let alone others.

"Blow immediately" and Zhang Qingshan was excited, without thinking, he ordered the trumpet officer to blew the military trumpet and responded, at least he expressed his presence and prepared the troops. But when he said that he suddenly remembered that there was no trumpet officer among the more than 100 people.

Frowning and thinking was like lightning, Zhang Qingshan took out a box cannon and fired three shots at the sky.

"Ba!Ba!Ba!"

The two long and short gunshots are the gunshot contact signals commonly used by the Red Second Front Army. At this time, Zhang Qingshan had no other choice. He could only hope that the Red Second Front Army members could hear this signal and confirm the existence of more than 100 people.

"Ba!Ba!Ba!"

Fortunately, the Red Second Front Army in the reception army not only heard the gunshots, but also responded quickly. Of course, this response was only confirmed by confirming the existence of both sides, and nothing else could be conveyed.

In fact, at this time, the positions of both the enemy and us are indeed interesting in this local area, and this situation is due to two aspects: the advancing of the troops is much greater than the enemy's imagination; the enemy's defeat, or the degree of escape, also shows the enemy's own judgment.

Zhang Qingshan and others were indeed lucky because according to the Red Army headquarters: in view of the successful passage of the main force of the Red Second Front, in order to meet the single comrades, and to prevent the enemy from concentrating superior forces against the counterattack, and the number of people in the Red Second Front was limited, and the main force of the Red Second Front was exhausted, the headquarters decided to expand to both sides with only the place where the Red Second Front passed as the center point.

The place where Zhang Qingshan and others landed ashore had already reached about twenty miles away, and they would not have been seen. However, the enemy's actions alarmed the troops coming to the troops, and the gunfire of the formation this morning directly revealed the existence of Zhang Qingshan and the others to the troops. So the commander of the troops immediately decided to advance here again.

When they came to the edge of the aquatic grassland, through the telescope, they saw that there were many enemies heading towards the aquatic grassland, and they immediately confirmed that this was the enemy chasing the lonely Red Army soldiers, and it was likely that there were not a few or a dozen, but at least hundreds of people. Otherwise, the enemy would not have to mobilize so many troops but surround them.

With a trace of hope, they blew the trumpet, but unexpectedly, they received a response immediately. So Zhang Qingshan and others were very lucky: if there was no gunfire in the early morning, they would not be able to attract the support troops. If they ran away at this time, the support troops would probably not be able to see the enemy, thus missing the best opportunity for both sides to meet.

The benefit of the soldiers obeying orders is here: there is no order, although the soldiers of the army knew that the troops were in the northwest, they continued to walk south according to the previous orders.

But as commanders, Zhang Qingshan and others must make correct judgments, otherwise, they may have been eaten by the enemy behind the butt before they could meet with the support force.

Zhang Qingshan really wanted to act arbitrarily. At this time, as his highest commander, it was indeed possible. But he felt that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy and arbitrarily was decisive, but if it was not good, even if there was a mistake, it might cause more than 100 people to fall into a terrible place. Therefore, he had to find Liu Bing, Peng Peng and Li Xueshan. The four of them walked and discussed while discussing that they could only continue to walk south without discussing specific solutions. In this way, although they were getting farther and farther away from the support force, they could at least continue to maintain a relatively safe distance from the enemy, so as to save time for the subsequent discussions and continue to take the initiative in their own hands.

"All you know that the situation is behind us. But between us and the support force, there are a large number of enemies. We are tired now and lack the necessary weapons and equipment. The enemy is just the opposite. They are not only waiting for work, but also well-equipped. Therefore, rushing over hard is tantamount to hitting a wall. Not only can't break through the enemy's defense line, but it is also very likely that the enemy will directly make dumplings by the enemy. So, what should we do next to each other to meet with the support force while trying to ensure everyone's safety? At the same time, I would like to remind several of the lives of more than 100 people here, it depends on the results of our current temporary emergency meeting. Therefore, as the company commander, I would like to ask everyone to take this issue seriously and carefully. Let's talk about their opinions."

Seeing that both of them frowned and thought, Li Xueshan thought for a while and said, "Since we cannot turn back and fight against the enemy, I think we can only continue to retreat south now. There are two benefits to doing this: First, we can go to the evening, use the cover of the night, and then detour to join the support troops. Second, we retreat straight south. Doing so will not only confuse the enemy, but also directly expand the space for activity. After all, the number of enemies is insufficient. As long as the space is expanded, they will sooner or later let us dig in. Besides, I always think that since the enemy dares to go deep into the water and grass to chase us, it means that they have already conducted this training in advance and are ready. Therefore, their deployment will definitely not be as simple as two-sided attacks. It is very likely that there will be an enemy ambush in front of us. So, I suggest that we continue to retreat and wait until the evening."

Li Xueshan was able to tell the pros and cons in a tone, obviously it was carefully considered in advance, and the method he mentioned was also the best at present.

Hearing his suggestion, Zhang Qingshan and the other two nodded in agreement.

Liu Bing thought for a while and added: "I agree with Battalion Commander Li's solution. However, in order to show our existence and direction to the comrades of the receiving troops, should we use gunfire signals every once in a while along the way? However, the disadvantage of this is that although the comrades of the receiving troops can hear our gunfire and chase us, the enemy behind us can also determine our direction and position. So, I have a suggestion, when the evening is, should we send a small army to go in another direction and continue shooting signals on the yi road so as to attract the enemy's main force?"

"This method won't work!" Zhang Qingshan was quite arbitrary and said solemnly: "First, the enemy is much closer to us than the reception unit. We keep shooting signals here. I'm afraid that the enemy will attack us before the comrades of the reception unit arrive. Secondly, since the reception unit is not far from us, they should see so many troops from the enemy to surround us. From this point of view, they should be able to analyze that there are at least dozens or hundreds of people on our side, otherwise the enemy will not be able to send so many people. If we want to destroy more than a hundred people, it is impossible for the enemy to not move the gun."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled: "Even if the enemy does not move the gun, will we not fire the gun? Therefore, as long as there is no gunshot, the comrades in the reception army should know that the enemy has not yet destroyed us. As long as we exist, the comrades in the reception army will think that we will meet with them sooner or later, so they will inevitably make corresponding adjustments and deployments. Therefore, I think the signal of shooting on Yi Road is redundant, but it will also have a counter-effect, which is not desirable. Finally, I sent a small army to lure the enemy away.

I agree with the main force of this, but there is a prerequisite, that is, I do not recommend doing this before it is absolutely necessary. Moreover, even if I have to do this, I will definitely explain the situation to the comrades sent out and prepare for the next step to meet them. After all, we have been away for more than a year and are about to meet up with the current situation, but we are now working as members of the suicide squad at this time. This is a kind of morale blow to the comrades assigned and the rest of the comrades, what do you think?”

Seeing that the few people didn't say anything, Zhang Qingshan waited for a while and made a final summary: "Then follow the method of Battalion Commander Li: continue walking south first, wait until it gets dark, and then find a way to pass through the enemy's loophole."

The few people just nodded in agreement, but saw Wu Shaohong riding on a horse a few meters away suddenly pointing to the northeast and shouting: "Look, there are a large number of enemies over there rushing towards us."

Zhang Qingshan and others were shocked and stopped to look, but saw a large number of enemies coming to this place far away. Judging from their expanded formation, there should be a battalion.

Only Li Xueshan pointed at the enemy over there and laughed: "Ha! Ha! I just said, how could the enemy's deployment be so simple? Let's see! They really want to encircle us to death."

Zhang Qingshan looked at Li Xueshan and was still in a mood to laugh out loud about him facing such a serious enemy situation at this time. This mentality is indeed worth learning from.

"Boy, what are you looking at? I tell you, this is a good thing!"

"Good thing?"

"Of course. I tell you that any enemy placed on the surface is not scary. Only the enemy hidden directly is the most terrifying. Just like a fist, you can't know where it will hit you before it is hit, so you must be vigilant and be prepared for it. But when facing the fist that has been hit, you will be much more relaxed, at least know how to be prepared and where to be guarded. So, look at the last method of the enemy, you should be happy, because as long as we make corresponding adjustments based on this situation, we can avoid them. As long as we avoid it, it is equivalent to dealing with all the methods of the enemy. The enemy will have no way to understand?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded to him and turned around and ordered: "Order the troops to retreat to the southeast immediately, and then go until dark."

Li Xueshan next to Yi smiled and nodded with approval
