What should I do when the Japanese are here? The county government’s council hall, Hu Fei, Gou Tianxiao, Cheng Laogan, the new infantry battalion commander Yang Jinkai, and deputy battalion commander Wang Bin gathered together to discuss the anti-Japanese plan. As for the former owner of the county government, County Mayor Liu, he went home for a holiday to recuperate. After the donation banquet, the county magistrate fell ill after paying the money. It was said that it was angina pectoris.

Yang Jinkai advocated a fight! Over the years, Battalion Commander Yang has never been afraid of facing the Japanese. At any time, whenever he talks about fighting with the Japanese, he has always rushed in front and refused to let alone behind him. However, Gou Tianxiao thought he should retreat. He felt that with the current strength of the 88th Column, it would be difficult to defeat a full Japanese brigade from the front, let alone a brigade of the Japanese behind the brigade.

Cheng Laogan did not express his opinion. He was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion and was only responsible for providing information. In addition, he listened to Hu Fei. If Hu Fei asked him to fight, he would definitely lead the troops to rush up unconditionally. If Hu Fei didn't speak, no one would want to persuade him to pull the reconnaissance battalion to the battlefield. The remaining deputy battalion commander Wang Bin didn't say a word. This former county police chief was okay to maintain social security. He was an amateur in war. Now Deputy Battalion Commander Wang is still in the stage of learning and exploration.

After Yang Jinkai and Gou Tianxiao each expressed their opinions, they turned their attention to Hu Fei when they saw that others were not interested in speaking. Cheng Laogan and Wang Bin also looked at Hu Fei. When the opinions were put forward, it depends on which Commander Hu adopted it.

"Tianxiao's analysis is correct. We now have only one newly formed infantry battalion and a reconnaissance battalion, and we are definitely not the opponent of Shiro Goto. You can't defend Yuci County, and retreat is inevitable. However, no matter what, we are wearing military uniforms and representing the national army. We can't explain it even if we give up a county to the Japanese army for nothing."

"Even if this county town is destined to be stolen by the Japanese army in the end, we cannot let the Japanese take it safe! Brush, Lao Wang, you two bring the troops out of the city, let's fight the Japanese outside the city!"

"Commander, why don't we guard the county town?" The person who spoke was Wang Bin, the former police chief, who was the current deputy battalion commander. "It is easier to stay in the city and guard the city than to fight in the wild?" Although Yuci County does not have a tall city wall and a wide moat, it is always a city. It is always easier to defend the city than to fight in the field, which is a simple truth. Deputy Battalion Commander Wang does not understand why Commander Hu abandoned the city and did not guard the city and wanted to fight the Japanese in the field.

"I just said that we are not sure of winning this battle. If this is the case, what else can we defend in this city? Besides, let the war once again affect this thousand-year-old ancient city, how can we bear it? For the safety of the people in the city, what's the harm that our soldiers are willing to take some risks?"

When Hu Fei said this, Wang Bin's face was already full of emotion. His family was also from the county town. Once the battle started in the city, he didn't have to think about how much disaster it would bring to the local people.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the facts that have proved countless times in the modern Sino-Japanese War: Japanese soldiers are beasts! Once a city falls into the hands of Japanese slaves, the fate of the people in the city will become worse than that of livestock! The Japanese invaders wantonly massacre, rape, and loot. A good city often becomes a hell on earth in one day. 18                                                                                                                                                                                                              �

Since Hu Fei knew that he could not defeat the Japanese invaders, he naturally refused to let the people of the whole city suffer. Therefore, from the beginning, he was not prepared to fight with the Japanese in the city.

After the brief military meeting, the general state of the battle in Yuci was decided. Someone sent to write a notice and posted dozens of pictures in conspicuous places in the city, telling the people: If we leave, the county town will be occupied by the Japanese. If you have a place to go, leave quickly. If you have no place to go, we can't take care of you!

After the notice was posted, Hu Fei led his troops out of the city. It was for outsiders to show it: The Japanese army came, and Hu Fei thought he was not the opponent and ran away in advance! After reading the notice, the people scolded him. He went into the city to grab the benefits and captured the police. When the Japanese came, you ran away from the wind. What a big bucket! How can our country raise this kind of army? The people all say anything, but Hu Fei can't hear it when he goes out of the city.

Don’t say that Hu Fei wanted to escape, even if he really wanted to run away, could the Japanese let him go? We said that Yuci’s security commander Shiro Goto is a Japanese spy. This guy has established an intelligence network in the county for a few months. Hu Fei’s every move cannot escape the spy’s eyes.

The 88th Column posted a notice, and the troops began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave the city. The spies immediately reported the situation to Major Goto. When the Grandmaster saw it, hey? Hu Fei was going to run away? That would not work!

You occupied the county town for a day and not only robbed the vault, but also blackmailed all the top people with status in the city. This is all for making money, so we won’t say anything. But you shouldn’t have to take all the police, right? Is there any way you can scrape the ground? What should I do if you leave? Where can I find so many policemen? Who will be the chief of this police?

He robs money and wants to leave after he catches people? Where is that good thing in the world? Major Goto doesn't know how to fight. He only knows one thing, he can't let Hu Fei go just like that! Come on! Take the money back and keep the people! Goto Shiro came up with his troops and stopped Hu Fei when he came over.

Hu Fei saw it, OK, this group of Japanese devils are quite unambiguous. Well, I know you are amazing. Grandpa will not be with you anymore, so say goodbye! Hu Fei turned around and ran away with the army.

He ran away without a single shot? Goto Shiro was stunned for a second and then raised his sword, "Kill the chicken!" He chased after the Japanese soldiers. Seeing that the Japanese refused to give up, Hu Fei pulled Cheng Lao Gan over and told him: "You take the reconnaissance camp to run in another direction, and we will divide our troops to retreat. You also know the meeting place, we will see you all."

Hu Fei divided the troops, and Goto Shiro was happy when he saw it, "Yo Xi! The division of troops work!" The Japanese were divided into two, Goto sent two squadrons to chase Cheng Lao Gan's scouts and went down. Major Goto was engaged in intelligence, and he thought that the more clues, the better. Hu Fei's division of troops escaped, which meant that he had more than one stronghold. If he could remove all his strongholds through these routes, wouldn't it be the same as destroying them?

Yang Jinkai's infantry battalion had 430 people, and Cheng Laogan's reconnaissance battalion had about 400 people. The reconnaissance battalion was usually dispersed, and now they gathered together when they retreated from the city. Just looking at the number of people, it was indeed not much different from the infantry battalion.

Goto Shiro saw that Hu Fei had the same number of troops, so he divided two infantry squadrons over there. Two squadrons were more than 300 Japanese troops. He should be able to win the battle against about 400 national troops, right? (To be continued)
