Silence, silence. Everyone in the surroundings stared at Yan Wenbin with wide eyes. They could feel the dense killing intent from Yan Wenbin.
Everyone here had survived the battlefield and could clearly feel the killing intent in Yan Wenbin's heart. This killing intent could not be faked. It was precisely because of this that they did not expect Yan Wenbin to really want to shoot this person in front of them. One had to know that this was a regiment commander of the Central Army. In terms of status, the two of them seemed to be the same, but in terms of status, there was no way to compare.
They found it hard to believe that the regiment commander of a random local troop would dare to point a gun at the regiment commander of the Central Army.
"Gu ~ Lu ~"
The officer swallowed hard. He didn't expect this Regiment Commander Chuan to have the intention of killing him.
"You have to think carefully. If you kill me, you will be charged with sabotaging the war. You can't afford to bear this crime.”
"Bang ~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Wenbin fired a shot at his foot, which immediately gave him a fright.
"Where did all this nonsense come from? Tell your men to put away their guns. If you say another word of nonsense, I'll jump you!”
After Yan Wenbin finished speaking, he pressed down on the hammer, which immediately frightened the officer.
"Brother, don't be rash. It's fine. Everything is fine!”
As he spoke, he turned to look at his soldiers and said,"Hurry up! Put down your weapons, put down your guns."
The soldiers put down their weapons one after another.
Yan Wenbin turned his head and said to his soldiers. Immediately after, those Central Army soldiers were obediently captured.
........
Inside Yan Wenbin's tent in the camp.
"Tell me, which unit are you from, and your name, position, and unit number!”
Yan Wenbin poured himself a glass of water and asked the officer standing there.
"We are from the 8th Army, 69th Army, 55th Division, 177th Regiment. I'm the regiment's colonel, Cheng Yufeng.”
Cheng Yu Feng said helplessly.
"Deserter? Do you think we want to escape? We can't hold the defense line at all. At noon today, our division received news that the Japanese army had landed at Jinshanwei in Hangzhou and were advancing toward Shanghai, preparing to cut off our retreat. At first, we received an order from the Eighth Army Headquarters, asking our 55th Division to guard our position and not lose an inch of our position.
As for the infantry regiment under my command, it originally had more than 2,100 people. However, it had suffered serious losses in less than two hours of the battle. If I hadn't retreated quickly, I probably wouldn't have been able to withdraw even this little number of people. The Japanese cannons took out an infantry battalion in less than two shots. With one shot, they completely disappeared.
Our losses were too great. Most of my brothers died under their cannons!”
Cheng Yu Feng cried as he spoke. Any soldier who came down from the Songhu battlefield should not be called a coward, because they had been brave before. Perhaps they had once charged against the cannons.
Yan Wenbin didn't say anything. He also knew that since the early stages of the war, the Japanese army had used heavy artillery to support them. Many troops couldn't withstand a few shots at all. After a few shots, a battalion would be gone.
"This is not a reason for you to be a deserter. Who hadn't been bombarded by Japanese naval cannons before? Don't tell me our Sichuan Army doesn't have one? At that time, we were wearing straw sandals and holding large swords and spears to attack the Japanese army. Now that the war is not going well, you want to become deserters? Do you know that once your actions spread, the entire defense line will be shaken, and hundreds of thousands of troops will continue to flee? In the end, we will lose this war!”
Yan Wenbin looked at Cheng Yu Feng and said in a deep voice.
Cheng Yu Feng didn't say anything. He knew that it was not good to be a deserter, and it had a great impact on the morale of the entire army. But at that time, how could he have thought about this?
"Alright, go and rest!"
Yan Wenbin looked at him a few times and said softly.
Cheng Yu Feng left. Yan Wenbin stood in the tent for a while before going to rest.
...............
Early the next morning, Yan Wenbin stood on the hill and looked into the distance.
This was because there were some scattered troops retreating to the rear in the distance. They did not appear to be in a hurry. Moreover, it was daytime, which meant that they were not deserters, but troops that had gone to the rear to recuperate.
"Regiment Commander, someone from our Sichuan Army is here!”
He Jie ran to Yan Wenbin's side and said.
"Hmm? Who is there?"
Yan Wenbin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I don't know. You'll know when you go and take a look.”
Yan Wenbin nodded and walked to his tent. Inside the tent was a second lieutenant wearing the uniform of the Sichuan Army.
"Hello, are you Guild Leader Yan Wenbin? I'm from the 23rd Regiment of the Sichuan Army. We have received orders from Commander Liu Xiang to bring you an entire regiment to replenish your forces. I'm on my way now. I expect to reach you at the bottom lane today!”
"An entire regiment of reinforcements?”
Yan Wenbin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Xiang to send him a reinforcement team.
"Yes, I am! They were now on the train. They had already received orders to set off yesterday. I came to inform you in advance so that you could be prepared!”
"En! Alright, troublesome old man! He Jie, bring this brother down to rest, drink some water, and have a meal.”
"I'm not old. I still have things to do, so I'll leave first!”
The second lieutenant left while Yan Wenbin stared at the map.
"Team Leader, do you have any ideas?”
He Jie asked Yan Wenbin.
"En! Go down and get the troops ready. When our reinforcements arrive this afternoon, we will break camp tomorrow morning. We are ready to retreat to Changzhou and Suzhou!”
Yan Wenbin said in a deep voice after looking at the map for a while.
