Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang lay exhausted in the open air. They were still fully armed, and there were other soldiers around them.

They have already joined up with the main force. The three members of the original five-man squad were injured and sent to the rear.

When their regiment arrived, there were more than a thousand people. Some were injured, some were killed, and some died. Now there are less than four hundred people left on the front line.

Both of them were injured, but fortunately they only had minor injuries and were not life-threatening, so they continued to stay on the battlefield.

The war had been going on for almost three months. Everyone had been fighting day and night and was so tired that they didn't even have the energy to speak.

They had now reached the enemy's territory, and everyone guessed that the war would soon be over.

Cheng Jing thought to himself that he could finally see Yu Xiangnian and the children!

When the sky was getting light, everyone was in high spirits again, waiting for orders from their superiors!

At this time, in the headquarters where the order was issued, Yu Jiashun and another deputy commander had an argument.

"Old Yu, all the soldiers are ready to go. You're asking for a last-minute change of plan. How is that any different from changing generals at the last minute?! This is a cardinal sin in military strategy!"

The deputy commander was Shen Jianshe, who was in his forties. As a soldier, he said whatever he thought. Naturally, he didn't respond well to Jiashun's request to temporarily change the combat plan.

Yu Jiashun also knew that it was inappropriate for him to make such a request at the last minute, but he believed in Yu Xiangnian.

Just like last time, Yu Xiangnian was able to accurately point out the specific location of Cheng Jingmo and the others, and he also knew that he couldn't contact them because the radio was broken.

Since the lives of so many soldiers are at stake, Yu Xiangnian cannot tell a single lie, nor can he risk the lives of so many soldiers.

The two sides have been arguing for more than half an hour, and neither is willing to give in.

"It's always right for us to be cautious!" said Yu Jiashun.

Of course he couldn't say that he changed his mind at the last minute because of Yu Xiangnian's dream!

"What if this isn't a trap? Wouldn't we have wasted such a great opportunity?" Shen Jianshe said. "We've been fighting for so long, and victory is so close. Are we going to give up just because we're worried it's a trap?!"

Shen Jianshe took off the gun from his waist and slammed it on the table. "Who doesn't sacrifice themselves on the battlefield? Let me lead the troops into the enemy's rear. I'm not afraid of sacrifice!"

Apart from being good-tempered towards Xiang Nian and Zhao Ruozhu, Yu Jiashun is not a good-tempered person either.

He stood up and slammed his gun on the table. "Who the hell is afraid of sacrifice?! If they were afraid of sacrifice, they wouldn't be here! But we can't risk the lives of so many soldiers. Who doesn't have a family and parents?!"

Commander-in-Chief Hong Chengming looked at the two men, their faces flushed and about to fight, and hurried to mediate.

"No one here is afraid of death. We all know this! The question now is whether or not to change the plan."

"Change!" Yu Jiashun replied without hesitation, "This battle will be won sooner or later, there's no need to take this risk!"

"I disagree!" Shen Jianshe said, "Every day we spend on the battlefield puts our lives in greater danger!"

Commander Hong is more inclined to Shen Jianshe's idea.

Besides, changing one's mind at the last minute is not a good thing!

Commander Hong considered it over and over again, then asked the deputy commanders present for their opinions. "I agree with Deputy Commander Shen. What are your opinions?"

Everyone was ready for battle and naturally agreed to fight according to the original plan.

Yu Jiashun was extremely anxious when he saw that everyone had reached a consensus.

Finally, he slammed the table and said, "We can proceed as planned! Let me take some soldiers in to investigate the situation, and you wait one kilometer away. When I give you the signal, come back!"

Shen Jianshe still stubbornly disagreed, "Old Yu, take some soldiers and go check out the situation first. If it's not a trap, we'll alert the enemy. By then everyone will have run away, so what's the point of us rushing over!"

Yu Jiashun was furious. "Neither this nor that is acceptable! Why the hell do you have so many opinions?"

The hot-tempered Shen Jianshe was also furious. "We discussed the battle plan until late last night, and now you change it this morning! Why didn't you tell me last night?!"

Yu Jiashun clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "I issue a military order! In front of everyone, I issue a military order! If my decision causes the opportunity to fight to the death and the enemy escapes, I will kill myself!"

Everyone: “…”

Commander Hong said, "Old Yu, this is not necessary. We are all doing this for the country, and you are also considering the lives of the soldiers..."

Yu Jiashun interrupted him, "Stop talking about this! We've already wasted the whole morning! I'll lead the troops to investigate the situation first. Do you agree?"

Shen Jianshe said, "I'll go with you! We can't let any of those grandsons who invaded our territory escape!"

"And!" Yu Jiashun said, "Those soldiers of the 9th Army were the first to join the battle and suffered the heaviest casualties. We have assembled enough troops today, so those soldiers don't need to participate in this operation!"

In this way, Yu Jiashun and Shen Jianshe led a battalion of troops to explore the situation behind enemy lines.

What Yu Jiashun didn't know was that while they were rushing to the enemy's rear, Cheng Jingmo and his regiment discovered that a large number of enemy troops were evacuating with weapons and ammunition.

It turned out that in order to lure our troops into deeper territory and capture them all, the enemy deliberately kept all the generals in the rear and only secretly evacuated this morning.

When they evacuated, they only left a part of the troops and a large amount of gunpowder behind, and all other weapons and ammunition were taken away.

Although the outcome of the battle was clear, they still did not give up and hoped to make a comeback in the future.

Cheng Jingmo and his regiment have always been the front-line troops. When they woke up in the morning, scouts came to report that they had discovered a large number of enemy troops evacuating with weapons and equipment.

Ai Jianguo led the scouts to climb the nearest hill and took a look through binoculars.

really!

It was too late to wait for the troops from headquarters to arrive, so Ai Jianguo immediately decided, "Send a telegram to headquarters requesting support. Our regiment will do its best to delay the enemy!"

When Yu Jiashun led his troops to the enemy's rear, just as he had expected, there were not many troops there, and there was no senior general at all.

As soon as the two sides opened fire, the enemy ignited the explosives prepared in advance, attempting to die together with us.

The scene instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire!

Fortunately, we made sufficient preparations and evacuated in time, so there were no heavy casualties.

"Damn it! I really fell into the trap of these bastards!" Shen Jianshe cursed angrily.

Yu Jiashun said: "Send a signal to headquarters!"

At this time, Hong Chengming had already received the telegram from Ai Jianguo.

Hong Chengming left one-third of his troops to support Yu Jiashun, and took the other two-thirds of his troops to another battlefield.
