"Battery Commander, then I'll say it!" Lei Xiong glanced at Tang Dao.

"You said that the military conference itself is to let everyone speak freely." Tang Dao smiled indifferently and turned his head to look at Zhou Dunhou over there.

"But Captain Zhou, you actually have a pack of private cigarettes, which really surprised me! I remember that I went to your place last night. I saw that you were so painful when you smoked a cigarette. I thought you had no stock, so I would smoke all the ones in my purse in the end!"

"Haha, you only know, sir! Lao Zhou is the most stingy. When he meets us, he catches us and smokes our cigarettes to death, but he doesn't want to take any of his own." Seeing Tang Dao teasing Zhou Dunhou, the school officials laughed so hard that they were so angry.

"No, I strongly recommend that the rich man Zhou send cigarettes, damn it. I must have half of the cigarettes I smoked at that meeting? I always smoked them when I went back." Someone was also beating and drumming.

"Bah, you guys are shameless, you really like to think about other people's pockets. Last time in the Battle of Songjiang, I saw you put Japanese cigarettes in your purse a lot. I asked you, where are the cigarettes? They were all made to smoke?" Zhou Dunhou, who was teased, jumped up and fought back.

"Woooo!" The hammer lying on the side whimpered twice, and his dog eyes stared at Zhou Dunhou with extremely unkindness.

Four sharp teeth appeared on the lips.

What, the dog has messed with you? Jiangnan is gentle in nature, but it doesn’t mean that the dog is too. Hammer has such a bad temper.

"Oh, little hammer, I don't mean to scold you. Come on, come on, make a piece of jerky. Don't bare your teeth, don't bare your teeth." Zhou Dunhou was startled and took out a piece of jerky from his pocket in his military uniform and threw it over.

Originally, the hammer wearing a military uniform and vest was a joke to the officers and soldiers of the 43rd Army who joined the advance regiment. It would be fine if Chief Tang used the watchdog as a military dog, but he even gave the dog a private title.

But a few days ago, when fighting against the Japanese bombing formation, Hammer was the first to hear the roar of enemy planes and issued a warning, to buy at least one more minute for the entire army.

No one dares to underestimate that minute, perhaps hundreds of people will die in that minute.

Moreover, even Tang Dao and his team were going to harass the main Japanese forces, they also had to bring the scout "Hammer". However, if something goes wrong, it will be a battlefield that will never be restored, which fully demonstrates that "Hammer" is a unique dog.

Not to mention that it can understand human words now, it is not uncommon to understand Japanese.

"Dadays, Old Zhou, you are really so frugal, you still have meat!" A school official forgave Zhou Dunhou's "hammer" who didn't even have any dog's integrity, and his eyes were a little straight.

In order to give Songjiang Army enough strength to fight, Songjiang Command also made great efforts to collect all the meat in Songjiang, including the Japanese war horses killed in Songjiang that day, cooked them with boiling water and salt and drained them by earth. The soldiers and officers treated them equally, and each person carried five pieces of dough cakes with them.

If there is an emergency in the war, these are their energy replenishment, which is enough for an adult to have enough physical strength after three days.

It has been ten days since the Battle of Songjiang. Most of the soldiers have long eaten up all the meat and cakes with the intention of not being a starving ghost when they die.

Even if you save some money, you will eat all the meat soup made from the marching force that consumes energy in these six days. If you replenish your energy, you will have to rely on Tang Dao to order the collection of all the meat meat made of horses and pack horses. Otherwise, you may not be able to always lead the 36th Infantry Brigade, which has canned meat.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou stinged a piece of bacon with his body.

However, even if the major battalion commander who accidentally scolded him, he could only use the jerky meat sent to everyone with the pre-war command to replenish nutrition to everyone to comfort the most special "soldier" of the advance group.

"Nonsense, why can't I have it? I have been relying on this piece of meat to make a meal these days." Zhou Dunhou answered his colleagues angrily.

"The meat is still there! Why did you eat?" The school official was stunned.

"Look! If you really can't smell it, if you don't, I will lick it! That smell is fragrant!" Zhou Dunhou answered naturally.

‘Uh…’ Tang Dao couldn’t help but whine.

It seems to be really unique and is a good method and is worth promoting throughout the army. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit disgusting.

'hammer'......

It seems that this bacon is not that fragrant!

But we are dogs, so we are afraid of a ball! Isn’t it just the saliva of an old man?

This is probably the psychological struggle deep in the heart of Hammer, who had first had a stiff meat movement but soon feasted.

"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Invisibly, the two majors' previous atmosphere of being a little bloated and staring.

At the same time, the tension aroused about the transfer of an infantry corps by the 18th Division was not as strong as before.

They are the courage of soldiers, and they are not panic, so naturally the soldiers will not be afraid.

These veterans on the battlefield are using their methods to relieve the fear caused by the rope slowly sucking towards their necks.

"Come on, Lei Xiong, you said." Tang Dao patted the map with his hand and pulled a group of school officials who had off topic back into the military meeting.

"I just said that Old Zhou Tianzhen is naturally a joke." Lei Xiong's face turned right. "However, we can know through the map that our current location is not far from the Jiashan National Defense Line. Don't the Japanese army know?"

"Of course they knew, even, I dared to conclude that after they continued to monitor our march route through the reconnaissance planes in the sky two days ago, they came to the judgment that our department was approaching the main force of our department."

"Of course I know this, but the wild space is so large. Unless someone deliberately leaks our whereabouts, how can the Japanese block us at night?" Zhou Dunhou frowned.

The reason why the Japanese army was able to sting the advance regiments was 80% due to the Japanese Navy's reconnaissance planes twice a day, but that was only during the day. If the advance regiment insisted on marching at night, the Japanese would never know their movements.

"If we could give up all the baggage, including the wounded, and all the wounded were in a hurry, and without traitors, the Japanese would of course have no way to deal with us." Lei Xiong sighed. "But not only we know, but even the Japanese know that we don't."

Zhou Dunhou was stunned.

What Lei Xiong said was the weakness of the advance group. Although the advance group was composed of elite troops, it was not a strong army to attack the vanguard. Their original mission was only to be abandoned sons, attracting the abandoned sons of the Japanese bombing formation and the 10th Army.

Their mission is to be completed and now to fight for themselves to survive, but it does not mean that they can abandon all the baggage, especially the severely wounded people generated in continuous battles.

Not only are the newly generated seriously injured, but now there are also the medical team of the 43rd Army and hundreds of wounded soldiers in the team.

As Lei Xiong said, they can completely run into the wilderness with light clothes, spend a night to bypass the main battlefield, and then join the main force after entering the defense line, but can they abandon these wounded and their baggage? Obviously not.

"And, Lao Zhou, what you said hoped that the command center would send an infantry regiment to meet our ideas." Lei Xiong's expression was even more serious. "Don't expect it. If I were a Japanese, I would definitely attack with all my might, forcing my main force to not dare to transfer one soldier or another."

"If I guess correctly, the 18th Division of Japan must have been attacking in the past two days, so that our main force can only barely defend the defense line if we can do our best to deal with it."

"The command sent me a telegram at noon. The 18th Division has been deployed in the reserve team for the first time in the past two days. It does not count the auxiliary troops such as cavalry, artillery, and engineers. There are 11 infantry brigades in the infantry alone. Our defense line was forced to retreat four kilometers and we are currently defending the second line of defense." Tang Dao's voice was low.

The school officials all showed sadness in their eyes.

It’s not because we know that the main force under this pressure is unable to send even one army and one soldier to support them, but that there are only a few defense lines in the Jiashan National Defense Line. Now that the first defense line has been broken, the entire army retreats to the second one, how long can the entire defense line last?

On the Japanese side, although there was only one division with 30,000 troops, they also had a heavy artillery brigade and Japanese bombers in the sky. Without six infantry divisions or even more troops, they would definitely not be able to stop it.

Now, the Songhu army has retreated wildly. The Chinese army located at this gateway in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have only these three infantry divisions and no support.

Even if these two or three thousand people return desperately, they will not be able to help in such a decayed battle, and may have a counterproductive effect.

Behind them, there was an infantry brigade with a strength of 8,000 troops, which was almost half the division.
