Feng Shengfa was cold and cold, standing outside the command center without saying a word.

The setting sun had already set off the mountain and the light gradually became dim. However, the Japanese offensive did not stop. Whether it was the Division from the west or the 10th Pei regiment from the east, they were all strengthening the offensive at the same time. Obviously, the Japanese were also very clear that there was not much time left for them.

I took out my pocket watch to look at the time, and the hour hand was only pointing at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was at least an hour before darkness.

This more than an hour will become the most difficult time period for the 58th Division. Whether the 58th Division can complete the mission successfully and block the 10th Basin Regiment of the Japanese Regiment will be the key to the next more than an hour. Once it gets dark, the Japanese aviation and artillery will lose their place, and the pressure of the 58th Division will be much less.

However, Feng Shengfa knew that it would be impossible for the 58th Master to survive this hour.

Think about it, with the current equipment level and combat effectiveness of the National Army, it is still difficult for one division to face the Japanese army and one regiment, but the 58th Division now has to face the attacks of two Japanese divisions. Although the 10th Pei regiment did not carry heavy equipment, and although the 1st Division only came half of the division, no matter what, it was two divisions.

The force of the first division is unique in fighting against the two Japanese divisions. Moreover, the 58th Division still owes Han Keqiang's 348th Regiment, which actually only has three regiments of troops. Behind this uniqueness, the blood price paid by the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division.

Whether it is the 343rd Regiment guarding the top of the mountain or the 344th Regiment guarding the tip of the hourglass, most of the casualties have been killed or injured. Both defense lines may collapse at any time. Even if they collapse now, Feng Shengfa is not surprised at all. To put it bluntly, the 344th Regiment of the 343rd Regiment is now supported by a 344th Regiment, and the troops will collapse as soon as the qi is released.

However, what Feng Shengfa was most worried about was the hourglass defense line, because the First Division could concentrate its forces to attack the hourglass, unlike the 10th Pei Regiment that also needed to divide its troops to resist the attacks of the national army in all directions. What's more, the First Division also had firepower support from aviation and artillery, and the hourglass terrain was not conducive to defense.

He Lingxiao was also worried about the hourglass tip and whispered: "Master, why don't I go to the hourglass tip to take a look?"

Until now, Chen Shizheng, the leader of the 344th Regiment, has not complained or sent anyone to ask for help from the division headquarters. But the more this happens, the more people are worried, because Feng Shengfa and Yang Shaoren are very clear about Chen Shizheng's character. This guy is just a stubborn donkey. He will never complain about being tired until the troops are all exhausted.

Feng Shengfa said: "Okay, take the secret service camp with you."

The so-called secret service camp is actually a temporary combat unit composed of Feng Shengfa's recruitment of the division's mates, grooms, communications soldiers, medical staff and staff. There are about 300 people. Although they are not as good as combat troops, they also have certain combat effectiveness. At critical moments, they can still be pulled to the battlefield to block a gun hole.

He Lingxiao agreed and left with the spy camp.

He Lingxiao had just left, and Qi Yongnian had arrived later. As soon as he entered the division headquarters, he shouted: "Master seat, master seat"

Feng Shengfa glared at Qi Yongnian, frowned and said, "Whatever you say, I'm not deaf in my ears."

"Teacher's Seat" Qi Yongnian knelt down for Feng Shengfa and said tragically, "Teacher's Seat, the troops will be almost wiped out."

"You don't need to tell me this." Feng Shengfa said coldly, "Why are you leaving your post without permission? Go back to the position quickly."

Qi Yongnian didn't listen at all and continued to kneel down and beg Feng Shengfa: "Master, please remove our 343rd Regiment. Please leave some seeds for our 343rd Regiment for the sake of the party and the country?"

"Removing your 343rd Regiment?" Feng Shengfa said coldly, "You mean, let me let go of the little Japanese?"

"Isn't there still a 347th Regiment?" Qi Yongnian said, "Even if you want to keep the 347th Regiment to fight a counterattack, isn't there still Xu Shijiu's 19th Brigade? Why not let the 19th Brigade go, why?"

"It's not your turn to teach me how to use troops. Go back." Seeing that Qi Yongnian was still lazy and refused to leave, Feng Shengfa was furious and shouted, "Don't you just want reinforcements? Okay, I'll go with you." As he said that, Feng Shengfa turned his head and roared, "Adminton Zhang, bring my helmet over."

Zhang Shaojie was quite at a loss when he heard this, so Yang Shaoren came up to persuade him.

Seeing that Feng Shengfa refused to dispatch reinforcements, Qi Yongnian was also desperate and returned to the position with his head hanging down. Looking at Qi Yongnian's back, Yang Shaoren said worriedly: "Teacher seat, the 343rd Regiment was guarding the top of the mountain for a day and night, and the casualties were very large. Otherwise, let the 347th Regiment replace them?"

Feng Shengfa said without hesitation: "The 347th regiment must not move."

Feng Shengfa was trying to detain the last two battalions of the 347th Regiment, but in fact there was a reason for this.

In the Battle of Lanfeng, Feng Shengfa angered Chairman Jiang for asking for merit for Xu Shijiu and the 19th Brigade. As a result, he lost to Wang Yaowu, who was not as qualified or military merit as Feng Shengfa in the competition for promotion to deputy commander. It would be impossible to say that Feng Shengfa had no emotions at all. In fact, Feng Shengfa also held his anger in his heart.

So this time, Feng Shengfa had to hold two battalions of the 347th Regiment whenever he lived and died, so that at the last moment, these two battalions could be inserted into the 10th Little Japan Regiment like a sharp knife, and to establish special merits in front of the brothers. Feng Shengfa must use facts to prove to the military committee members, to the commander-in-chief, and Chairman Jiang that Feng Shengfa is no worse than Wang Yaowu than Wang Yaowu.

If all the troops were put into the blocking war, Feng Shengfa could only watch the brothers establish special honors.

Flowers and applause are always given to those who complete the last strike. The troops that paved the way for the front will never get much attention for the troops that bleed and sweated to fight the last strike. After experiencing the unfair treatment after the Lanfeng Battle, Feng Shengfa no longer willing to be a hero behind the scenes. He also needs the affirmation of the Chinese people.

Yang Shaoren was able to fully understand Feng Shengfa’s idea and said, “How about transferring the 19th Brigade to the top?”

The 343rd Regiment must have reached the end of his life, otherwise Qi Yongnian would not have come to the division headquarters to complain to Feng Shengfa. Feng Shengfa did not want to touch the 347th Regiment, so he would have to let the 19th Brigade go.

This time, Feng Shengfa did not refuse immediately, but fell into silence.

In fact, Feng Shengfa is also clear, and now he can only let the 19th brigade take over, but he really can't open this. A month ago, when the 19th brigade retreated from Niu Shitun, Feng Shengfa told Xu Shijiu in person that the 19th brigade will not have any combat tasks in the next three months. Their only task is to train and continue training.

However, just one month has passed, Feng Shengfa is about to break his promise and become fat.

What made Feng Shengfa even hesitate was that the 19th Brigade suffered too much casualties in Niu Shitun, and there were very few veterans left. It can be said that it had been damaged. The quality of hundreds of newly added new recruits was not good. It was only one month, which was too short. If you give the 19th Brigade another two months, I believe that the combat effectiveness will have a qualitative leap.

Now transferring the 19th Brigade to the battlefield is like killing a chicken to get eggs.

Yang Shaoren could understand Feng Shengfa's hesitation and whispered: "Master, I'll talk to Ajiu."

Yang Shaoren just walked to the door, but was suddenly stopped by Feng Shengfa. Feng Shengfa sighed and whispered: "Chief of Staff, I'd better go and talk to Ajiu."

(Split Line)

The 19th Brigade was stationed in Hengluping, less than one kilometer from Wanjialing.

Yu Huan came out of the house in a panic and shouted to Cao Jiao in the yard: "Sister Cao Jiao, he is awake."

Cao Jiao was washing gauze scarves in the yard. Hearing this, he quickly put the gauze into a large wooden basin, turned around and entered the house. This was the old house of a farmer in Hengluping Village. It was temporarily borrowed by the 19th Brigade as a battlefield ambulance station. Because the 19th Brigade has not participated in the war until now, only a few wounded people lie inside.

One of the wounded people was not from the 19th Brigade, but was rescued by Li Mu on the way.
