About an hour later, everyone returned to Songhu City.
Just as the 17th regiment slowly entered the city, the signal officer ran to Qin Feng."
"Reporting to the traveler! The chairman has given the order!"
"Speak!" Qin Feng nodded.
"In view of the 17th Brigade's outstanding performance and combat accomplishments on the Songhu battlefield, Brigadier General Qin Feng will be rewarded with a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.
However, the battle in Songhu was broken, and our army had no choice but to change tactics to preserve our strength!
I order you to rely on the favorable terrain to stop the devils and buy time for our army to retreat.
During this period, if you find any escapees from the battlefield, your department has the right to detain and kill anyone.
When my main force retreats to Jinling, I will send someone to cover your retreat.”
"Got it!" Qin Feng was expressionless when he heard this. It was impossible to tell if he was angry or something else. His voice was also very calm.
"Yes, sir!"
After saluting, the soldier retreated.
"So, Brigade Commander Qin is going to stay and fight the Japanese?”
The eyes of the student consolation group couldn't help but light up when they heard this. They hurriedly recorded the news. When they returned, they would definitely report it through the major newspapers. This was extremely exciting news.
In their eyes, Songhu City had Qin Feng and seemed to be unbreakable.
After all, they didn't understand the real battlefield.
Qin Feng swept his gaze across the crowd and did not say anything. It was as if he had long expected this outcome.
This was because he had been too dazzling since the war. Not to mention that he had defeated the enemy's spirit on the Huishan battlefield, just the first Songhu War and the killing of the imperial family's major general, Kuroda Shun, had made his reputation rise day by day.
It was as if there was no one in the world who did not know his name. One had to know that he was only a small brigade commander, but he had already caused a stir and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Now, he had designed the Songhu battlefield to defeat the commander of the devils, Matsui Ishigen, and forced him to vomit blood several times.
If he returned alive, it would naturally be a great contribution, and he might even be a teacher.
But the more it was like this, the more successful they were, the more panicked the bureaucrats above them were.
Why would Sun Yuanliang run away? Even though he had always been like this, would he have dared to run away without the help of the higher-ups?
One had to know that on the battlefield, without orders from the higher-ups, the commander escaping would definitely be sentenced to death!
That was why he had run away before the critical moment and changed the situation. That was because someone above him was willing to protect him and wanted to use him to let the Japanese surround Hui Mountain and destroy Qin Feng!
It was just that he did not expect that Qin Feng actually broke out!
He had even made such a huge contribution!
Therefore, some of the higher-ups who did not like Qin Feng told the chairman that Qin Feng was already hated by the devils. Now that Songhu had lost its strength, if they wanted to withdraw all their main forces, they would put Qin Feng on the table to attract the devils.
Although Sun Yuanliang had retired from the Golden Mountain Guards, those big shots had used the excuse that 'our army lacked heavy weapons, and the reinforcements could not keep up. The Golden Mountain Guards could not hold on at all, and Sun Yuanliang was trying to preserve the strength of the troops.' They had forcefully protected him, who could have been sent to the military court.
In addition, those people first said to the commander of the war zone, Gu Zhutong,
If Qin Feng retreated, he would definitely give Qin Feng an explanation. Because of Sun Yuanliang's retreat, Qin Feng almost died. If Qin Feng returned, it would definitely cause a fight.
He also said that Sun Yuanliang was promoted by CEO Gu himself and a bunch of other words to get close to him…
Moreover, the Japanese already hated Qin Feng. There was no better choice than letting Qin Feng cover the rear.
As for how to explain to Old Senior Qin, that's even simpler. After all, he didn't tell us. We didn't know that Qin Zizhen was Qin Feng!
Gu Zhutong was a famous soft-eared empress dowager. In addition, Gu Zhutong had a grudge with Qin Feng's father, so he was persuaded just like that.
After the persuasion of the officials of the national government, the 17th Brigade was already surrounded by the Japanese because of Qin Feng's actions on the Songhu battlefield.
That was why the Generalissimo ordered the 17th Brigade to cover the rear, and that was why the scene just now had happened.
"Covering the retreat of the main force, are we the only brigade?”Liang Xing asked, puzzled.
Qin Feng glanced at Liang Xing and said indifferently,""Who told you that?"
"Aren't there still these fleeing troops? The chairman gave us a signal that if we find any signs of escaping from the battlefield, we can kill them on the spot!”
Then, he said to Fan Biao and the others," Reinforce the fortifications outside Songhu City. The other four rows of warehouses are good. Send people to reinforce them. Once the city gates are no longer defended, retreat to the stairs near the warehouses and defend them."”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone saluted.
Qin Feng nodded and continued to speak to everyone,
"I don't plan to place the battlefield outside the city. That way, the mechanized troops and heavy artillery of the Japanese will be at a disadvantage. I want to place the battlefield at the Suzhou River. That way, the Japanese planes and artillery will all be silenced because the other side is the concession of the various countries!”
"In addition, Baldy Zhang, pull the artillery to the third floor of the four-row warehouse. There's a better view. When the time comes, the devils can't fire, but they didn't say that we can't fire!”
"Yes, sir!" Baldy Zhang saluted.
Just as the mission was assigned and Qin Feng had yet to catch his breath, a signal soldier ran over and reported,"
"Reporting to the traveler!"
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked. It was impossible for the Japanese to come so quickly, right?
The man continued,"There are merchants and commoners in Songhu rewarding the army!"”
