Beat the devil with a system

The houses near the street are full of bullet holes, and the broken rubble is accumulated on the ground. Dozens of houses have collapsed, and there are ruins and walls everywhere, and gunpowder smoke is everywhere.

The soldiers of the security regiment and the little devil confronted each other on both sides of the street less than 300 meters away. will call.

Because the positions of the two sides were too close to each other, the battle could start at any time. The soldiers kept their guns close to their bodies and tensed their nerves, observing the situation outside the fortifications from time to time.

After the battle, Li Hong went to inspect the situation of each battalion.

"Tuan Zuo, Tuan Zuo..." The soldiers of the security regiment shouted to Li Hong who came over for inspection.

"Brothers, we are having a hard time, and the little devil won't be able to go anywhere. Our security team will fight the little devil to death. When we meet in a narrow way, the brave wins!" Li Hong boosted morale and asked about the casualties of various departments.

"Tuan Zuo, as long as the little devil dares to come, we will fight the enemy to the end, and the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!"

Li Hong patrolled from the streets in the north to the streets in the south. Although the soldiers of the security regiment exhausted a lot of energy in continuous fighting, the morale of the soldiers was high and they still maintained their combat effectiveness.

After inspecting the front-line troops, he went to the 321nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment and the Jinsui Army to learn about the transfer of civilians.

"Commander Hu, have all the civilians in the city been moved out of the city?"

"Report to Chief Li, most of the common people have been transferred, but..." Hu Wenchang had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"what happened?"

"There are a lot of people who really can't make sense. We took them out of the city, but these people ran back after being reluctant to part with their family property."

Li Hong looked at the helpless Hu Wenchang and asked, "How many households have not been transferred?"

"There are more than 70 households."

"There are so many more?" Li Hong frowned, and said slowly, "Captain Hu, how about it, you take me to meet them."

Hu Wenchang led the way, and Li Hong followed him and turned two streets to the civilian shelter.

There are more than 100 men, women and children in the shelter. They are all local people in Zhuang County. They have lived here for generations. The people have a certain affection for their hometown. Most of them are really reluctant to leave their homes and businesses.

Chapter 169 Persuading civilians to transfer (big chapter)

The common people huddled up and sat together in twos and threes, looking miserable. Everyone's eyes were full of reluctance. It was really not an easy task to persuade these people to leave.

"Mr. Li, I have investigated. These people are all from the same clan. They have lived in Zhuang County for several generations. They say that the ancestors have rules. Even if they die, they have to guard the family business..." Hu Wenchang said in Lihong There was a reminder in my ear.

"The little devils have entered the city. How can a group of unarmed ordinary people rely on them to keep their clan and family business?"

Li Hong's style of doing things is that it is better to die than to live. Obviously, he does not understand this stubborn traditional concept. Of course, it is normal for people in this era to have this kind of thinking.

"Officer Li, it's really impossible, let's tie them up and move them out of the city." Hu Wenchang suggested in a low voice.

"We are soldiers. What have we done? How is it different from the old warlords and bandits? Who else will support us in the future?"

Li Hong shook his head helplessly and disagreed. It was really too difficult for him to be both a military chief and a political commissar.

Fortunately, Li Hong had worked as an MLM lecturer and salesman before he played tricks, and his eloquence is not bad, so this will come in handy.

He strode up to the civilians, gave a military salute, and said apologetically, "Fellow folks, I am Li Hong, the head of the security regiment. I was stationed in Zhuang County by the commander of the World War II area. My troops did not hold the city and left you homeless. This is my relapse."

At this time, a gray-haired old man tremblingly walked up to Li Hong with a cane.

"There is no need for you, Chief Li, to blame yourself. The soldiers of your security regiment fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders for many days and suffered heavy casualties. The people of Zhuang County have seen it all. I respect soldiers like you. On behalf of the clan, young and old, I thank your security regiment."

"Mr. Li, this old man knows why you are here. Our Jiang family has lived in Zhuang County for generations since the Jiaqing period. Now that the Japanese invaders have broken the city, this old man is determined to fight to the death with the young men of the clan and the Japanese invaders. I would like to ask Mr. Li to help the old man." Pedantic loyalty."

The old man was the patriarch of the Jiang family, and he showed a bit of a patriarch's character, but he was quite stubborn in his words.

"Patriarch, you are a respected senior in the clan. You have the heart to kill bandits. I admire your Jiang clan very much."

Li Hong clasped his fists to the old man, and continued to say earnestly, "Patriarch, listen to me, Li Hong, if these family business altars and pots are broken, we can rebuild them; if the city is broken, we can go back to the countryside; Rabbits can't grow their tails, so I don't care about fighting with them for a few more years..."

"Mr. Li, I understand the truth of what you said, but as the head of the clan, how dare I abandon my family and work and go against the legacy of my ancestors..." The old man sighed and bit his head.

"Patriarch, you must abide by the legacy of your ancestors, but you also have to think about the lives of the entire clan, old and young. If you stay here, what will your Jiang family survive in the future?"

"Don't worry about the gains and losses of an inch of land. You are only a temporary transfer. Didn't the ancestors say that if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of having no firewood! I, Li Hong, will give you the Jiang family a letter today, and I will fight you away in the future. Little Japan, I, Li Hong, will bring my troops back and rebuild your homeland!"

Li Hong said some heroic words, then took out a pen and paper, ready to write a letter of oath.

"Mr. Li, you can't do this, you absolutely can't do it..."

The old man held Li Hong's hand, wiped away the old tears from the corners of his eyes, and made a difficult decision.

"My Jiang family, listen, Chief Li is a righteous and trustworthy soldier, we can't stay here as a burden, everyone will move out of the city immediately!" The old man said loudly to everyone in the clan.

"Folks, thank you for your cooperation!"

Li Hong raised his hand and saluted the civilians with a long military salute.

The commoners, carrying big and small bags, pushed unicycles, drove horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, and slowly moved out of the city from the west gate.

Now the military and government offices and civilians in the city have been transferred, and only the medical staff of the hospital remain in the city to treat the wounded.

Of the several medical teams of the security regiment, there were less than ten people left, and many team doctors and medical soldiers died in the flames of war.

Today is the fourth day since the security team received the order to stick to Zhuang County. Li Hong and the others need to stay there until 12 o'clock tomorrow night before they can complete the task.

Li Hong could think of the subsequent battle situation. In the next dozens of hours, the battle would be more intense and the casualties would be even greater.

Thinking about it, he decided to go to the hospital in person and notify the hospital in advance to transfer the wounded soldiers.

On Li Hong's way to the hospital, there was a burst of gunfire from the street, and the second battalion of the security regiment and the cavalry battalion guarding the central street exchanged fire with the little devil again.

"Da da da……"

"Boom boom boom..."

Hearing the sound of guns and cannons in the distance, Li Hong was not worried that the little devil would launch a large-scale onslaught.

Because the sound of guns was not very dense, experienced veterans knew that this was a small-scale firefight.

The sound of firefighting lasted less than 10 minutes before stopping.

Li Hong rode a three-wheeled cross, avoided the obstacles lying on the side of the street, and quickly drove a motorcycle to the hospital.

"Tuan Zao, Tuan Zao!"

A few soldiers from the security regiment guarding the hospital gate saluted Li Hong with guns.

The hospital is an important unit in the rear. In order to protect the wounded and medical staff, Li Hong sent an additional platoon of soldiers to guard it two days ago.

After entering the hospital, Li Hong frowned at the scene in front of him.
