Chapter 257 The Hospitable Dragon People
retreat?!
Qin Long has now made it impossible for anyone to do anything!
Yan Shuangying, Zhou Weiguo, and Chu Yunfei, who had been in contact with Qin Long for a long time, all thought for a moment that there was something wrong with their ears!
After all, since they met Qin Long, this was the first time that he had ordered a large force to evacuate directly after encountering the Japanese devils!
However, Fang Tianyi, Wang Wenyuan and other comrades of the Black Fox Commando, who had just met Qin Long, thought it was normal for Qin Long to issue the evacuation order.
Because this has always been our army's main tactic, to destroy the enemy in motion.
This time even special envoys Qingmei and Su Mei came to listen.
Of course, there was no need for Su Mei to come originally. After all, she was in the intelligence department and she was really not good at fighting.
This is also the reason why the comrades from our army’s underground communication station who were rescued by Qin Long never participated in Qin Long’s pre-war meetings.
After all, they are very clear about their own abilities. Since they don't know how to fight at all, the best way for them to support Qin Long is to not interfere.
But as a special envoy, Qingmei is absolutely qualified to ask questions, so there is nothing wrong with attending Qin Long's pre-war meeting.
Su Mei was dragged here by Qingmei, who said she was there to keep him company.
After Qin Long gave the order for the troops to prepare for retreat, Qingmei was the first to speak:
"Well, Captain Qin's decision is still very suitable for the current situation. After all, confronting the Japanese head-on is not our advantage."
But after she said this, she found that Yan Shuangying, Zhou Weiguo and Chu Yunfei looked at her with strange eyes.
That look seemed to be saying, "Comrade Special Envoy, do you want to listen to what you just said?"
Of course, Yan Shuangying, Zhou Weiguo and Chu Yunfei indeed thought so.
They looked at Qingmei and wanted to ask her something!
Facing a 155mm heavy artillery regiment, an 88mm anti-aircraft artillery regiment, a 40mm anti-aircraft artillery regiment and 360 tanks.
以及一个虽然只有1000人却足足有12门105mm火炮、16门75mm山炮以及16门81mm迫击炮的步兵加强营。
Comrade Special Correspondent, how could you say such a thing?!
Especially Chu Yunfei, who has been running around with Qin Long for some time.
He knows best the combat effectiveness of this "local armed force"!
Even if two Japanese divisions come!
The "local armed forces" led by Qin Long are definitely not weak!
Qingmei was quite capable to become a special envoy, so she quickly figured out why Yan Shuangying, Zhou Weiguo and Chu Yunfei looked at her that way.
To be honest, after realizing what was happening, Qingmei was also very curious as to why Qin Long didn't even dare to fight the Japanese and chose to retreat directly.
At this moment, Lao Li's voice came from the intercom on Qin Long's waist:
"Captain Qin, where are you now?"
"Lower Garden District."
Qin Long knew that Lao Li definitely didn't want to talk to him at this time, so he spoke directly.
"Ah? You're in Xiahuayuan District?! I thought you'd already gone to Zhangjiakou. Why didn't you go?"
Lao Li's tone suddenly became anxious:
"Enough of the idle chatter! Captain Qin, evacuate immediately!"
"I received an urgent telegram from above. A comrade just sent over a piece of intelligence!"
"The intelligence report states that the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions were sent by that old Japanese bastard, General Okamura, to support the Lower Garden District!"
At this point, Lao Li's tone suddenly became serious:
"The combat effectiveness of the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions is absolutely different from that of ordinary Japanese troops!"
"We're facing two Japanese divisions at once, and they're the two most powerful of the Japanese's 17 permanent Type A divisions! Our chances of victory are truly slim!"
"So! Captain Qin! The advice from above is that you lead the Xiaoyangcun District team away from the Xiahuayuan District immediately!"
However, Chu Yunfei had a different opinion at this time.
He felt that with the strength of Qin Long's troops, even if they faced the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions, they would at least be able to hold their own!
But he was on the side of the National Army after all, so it was inappropriate to suggest that Qin Long confront the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions head-on at this time.
Moreover, after this period of contact, Chu Yunfei thought to himself that he still understood Qin Long's attitude towards the Japanese devils.
Therefore, he felt that being afraid before the battle would never happen to Qin Long! Especially when the enemy was the Japanese devils!
Therefore, Chu Yunfei thought about it and said nothing in the end.
"Captain Qin, the 5th Division is known as the 'Steel Army' among the Japanese."
At this time, Qingmei suggested again:
"Personally, I think you should obey orders from above and temporarily avoid the attack of the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions."
Qin Long did not react clearly to Qingmei's words. He just nodded and picked up the intercom and asked:
"Old Li, are you sure the Japanese are sending the 5th and 6th Divisions to support the Xiahuayuan District this time?"
"If I remember correctly, these two divisions participated in the Nanjing Massacre, right?"
"Yes! The 6th Division was one of the main divisions responsible for the Nanjing Massacre, and the Kunizaki Detachment of the 5th Division was also one of the culprits!"
Old Li, who had been in contact with Qin Long for much longer than Chu Yunfei, naturally knew what Qin Long was thinking, so he answered Qin Long's question first before continuing to persuade:
"But Captain Qin, the 5th and 6th Divisions are indeed very powerful! The higher-ups are asking you to retreat temporarily for your own good."
"Captain Qin, how about this? We should retreat first, and when the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions split up, you can strike back."
"As long as we don't confront the Japanese 5th and 6th Divisions head-on at once, our chances of winning are still very high!"
"Ah."
Qin Long did not show any obvious emotion, but just nodded:
"Don't worry, Lao Li. I just gave the order to retreat before you contacted me."
Old Li felt relieved when he heard Qin Long say this:
"Okay, then Captain Qin, please retreat immediately. I'll go and reply to the telegram."
After saying that, Lao Li hung up the phone.
"Everyone heard it."
Qin Long looked around at everyone:
"The Japanese reinforcements are two divisions, and they are the two most powerful divisions among the Japanese's 17 permanent Type A divisions."
"We have also received orders from above to retreat first and wait for the two Japanese divisions to separate before we find a way to defeat them one by one."
After saying that, Qin Long picked up the intercom:
"Everyone, listen up! Retreat towards Zhangjiakou immediately!"
"Yes!"
Shuisheng, Tiezhu and others immediately responded in unison over the intercom.
This naturally includes Wang Fugui.
After all, half an hour ago, Wang Fugui and the logistics soldiers had dismantled all the movable items in the Xiahuayuan District Power Plant and loaded them onto the truck.
Soon, the large force headed towards the western suburbs of Xiahuayuan District.
After half an hour.
30 kilometers west of Xiahuayuan District.
Chu Yunfei looked at Qin Long who got off the car and looked down at the garden area, and asked with a puzzled look:
"Brother Qin Long, are we just going to retreat like this?"
To be honest, based on his understanding of Qin Long, Chu Yunfei found it hard to believe that Qin Long would really run away with his tail between his legs.
"Ah."
Qin Long nodded:
"But as a hospitable Dragon, I have left a big gift for the little devils."
