Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Zhang Haipeng was hit hard this time. His bare buttocks were covered with bruises and his hip bone was broken. He was unable to stand and could only scream on the ground.

The person who dug him out was a company commander. He was quite skilled in martial arts and sensed something was wrong when the shell landed. He quickly crawled on the ground and successfully avoided the shrapnel.

When he stood up and looked, Zhang Haipeng had fallen to the ground. His face turned dark and he hurriedly checked Zhang Haipeng's condition. He was relieved to find that he would not die immediately.

He found two uninjured soldiers, tore off the clothes from the traitor soldiers who were killed in the explosion on the ground, used two rifles to make a simple stretcher, and then transferred Zhang Haipeng to the stretcher.

"Don't panic, Commander. I'll take you away right away."

He ordered two soldiers to carry Zhang Haipeng away, but the two soldiers couldn't even lift him.

Anyone who has seen photos of Zhang Haipeng knows that this old traitor is quite fat and two people cannot even lift him.

The company commander's eyelids twitched, and he called two more people to go up. It took four people to barely lift Zhang Haipeng.

“Ouch, it hurts! It hurts! It hurts!!!”

The pain of a broken hip bone can be imagined. He twisted and turned on the simple stretcher. Two rifles were only a short distance away, and it was already difficult for several soldiers to lift him. His twisting made it even more difficult for the guys to exert force. They actually let go of him and threw him to the ground.

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

Zhang Haipeng let out a heart-wrenching howl and pointed at the few soldiers who had made mistakes with his trembling hands.

"You, you, you deserve to die! You deserve to die!!"

The company commander was sweating profusely and shouted, "Commander, Commander, the most important thing now is to escape. The most important thing is to escape! We can talk about other things when we get back!"

Zhang Haipeng heard the dense explosions around him and knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, so he shouted, "Yes, yes, take me away quickly. If you can take me away, you will all be rewarded! You will all be rewarded!"

Several traitorous soldiers put Zhang Haipeng on the stretcher again. The company commander asked, "Commander, there are enemies firing artillery outside. It sounds like a whole division is coming. The brothers who escaped from Tailai County were killed by the ambushed people outside. We can't rush out with just a few of us. Commander, we have to gather the troops first!"

When Zhang Haipeng heard this, he realized it was true. The explosions around him were even more frequent than the firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. From time to time, the sound of heavy machine gun fire could be heard outside Tailai County. It must be that someone ran out and was shot by the enemy.

He judged that the enemy's position was very complete. It would be impossible for them to escape with only a few people. They would have to gather a large force to succeed.

"Quick! Go and call Captain Liu and Captain Zhang over and have them integrate the troops!"

The company commander shouted anxiously, "No, Commander. Commander Liu ran away a long time ago and was killed by the enemy outside Tailai County. Commander Zhang is also dead. His house was bombed into a big hole! There are no fragments left. Commander, please think of someone else!"

At this moment, Zhang Haipeng, whose buttocks were cracked, was in so much pain that he was almost dying. His thinking ability was greatly reduced. He lay on the stretcher groaning, and couldn't think of who to find.

This made the company commander very anxious. The explosions around him were very frequent and he didn't know which shell would fall near them and take away several of their men.

In fact, he, the company commander, ran away when the enemy attacked, and he ran with the regiment commander Liu mentioned just now. As a result, as soon as they ran outside, dense fire snakes shot out from the darkness. The firepower was so strong that more than 400 of them were killed in an instant at the exit of Tailai County.

He saw with his own eyes how Captain Liu was dismembered by a fire snake. He was running at the back and was lucky enough to escape with his life.

He knew that the enemy had set up an ambush in the dark, and it was impossible for him to escape alone. He had to gather a large force to break through the enemy's firepower network. However, he did not have enough influence, and he needed a big man to integrate the army, otherwise he would not run back to find Zhang Haipeng.

But now seeing that Zhang Haipeng was injured and unable to stand up and command everyone, he felt a little desperate for a moment.

Fortunately, the old traitor Zhang Haipeng's brains worked quickly. After thinking for a while, he shouted, "Captain Chen! Go to Captain Chen's cavalry station and have a look! Let his cavalry lead us out!

Also! You guys, hurry up and shout to the fleeing soldiers, tell them Commander Zhang is here! Commander Zhang is leading them to a way out, hurry up and shout! "

Zhang Haipeng's words made the company commander's eyes light up. He felt that the injured Zhang Haipeng was useless and was planning to leave this old bitch here to fend for herself. But when he heard that he could use her name to gather the defeated soldiers, he gave up the idea and continued to take her with him.

He immediately led four soldiers and carried the fat man Zhang Haipeng towards the cavalry camp. Along the way, several people shouted loudly that Zhang Haipeng was here, and three or four hundred defeated soldiers really gathered to follow them.

When the group arrived at the cavalry station, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the cavalry suffered little losses.

The main cavalry regiment was Zhang Haipeng's elite force, and they still had sentries at night. Li Jianfeng and his gang had no way of sneaking in. Even if they wanted to sneak in with their superb skills, the horses inside would scream when they smelled strangers.

As a last resort, the special forces gave up placing bombs in the center of the cavalry team and instead deployed several 240mm artillery shells on the periphery.

The explosion of these shells killed many cavalrymen and horses in the periphery, but the periphery is the periphery, and the power is not as strong as the explosion in the center. Most of the 1500 cavalrymen in this cavalry regiment were saved.

However, the cavalry regiment did not break out immediately, mainly because the horses were frightened by the explosion and ran around. They had been trying to control the horses, but the mortar shells falling from the sky made this task difficult.

Zhang Haipeng was carried into the cavalry headquarters and met the commander of the cavalry regiment, Chen Zhongyong.

When Chen Zhongyong saw that Zhang Haipeng was still alive, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but then he immediately turned the disappointed expression into concern.

"Oh my! How did the commander get into this state? Medic, medic, come and help heal the commander!"

Zhang Haipeng interrupted him and shouted heartbreakingly: "Chen Zhongyong, don't worry about this for now, quickly gather your troops and rush out, it will be too late if you don't rush out now!"

Chen Zhongyong also knew that being bombarded by enemy artillery was not a solution, but he was a little hesitant to rush out. He didn't know how many enemies were outside, and if he rushed out rashly, he might end up in the enemy's encirclement.

"This... Commander, how about I send someone out to scout ahead? If the enemy has set up an encirclement ahead, we may..."

"Chen Zhongyong!! Do you still recognize me as your commander? I told you to charge out, don't you understand what I'm saying? Gather the troops and charge out for me right now!"

Zhang Haipeng lay on the stretcher and roared like a mad wild boar. The severe pain in his buttocks had turned him into a single-threaded creature who could not think and was extremely irritable.

All he wanted to do now was run, run regardless of life or death. Chen Zhongyong's cavalry was stationed at the southernmost tip of Tailai County. From this location, he only needed to run southward to reach his base camp Taonan.

Chen Zhongyong was scolded by Zhang Haipeng, and a trace of anger flashed across his face, but then it disappeared. He was sad in his heart, and he sighed and ordered his officers: "Assemble the troops, and let the brothers rush out! As many as you can survive will be the best."

The cavalrymen gathered quickly without forming a careful line. The enemy's artillery was bombarding them now, and gathering in line would be seeking death.

After almost gathering the troops, Chen Zhongyong looked and found that there were only more than 1500 people left in the cavalry team that originally had more than 800 people, and nearly a quarter of them had no horses.

Mortar shells were still falling from time to time. He had no time to make more detailed deployments. He could only draw his saber, wave it at the darkness ahead and shout, "Brothers, charge! Don't stop! Go! Go and claim your own life!"

As his orders were given, the cavalrymen who had long been stunned by the explosion ran into the darkness like crazy, while Chen Zhongyong sat on a horse pulling a shell trailer with Zhang Haipeng sitting on the trailer.

As the commander of the cavalry regiment, Chen Zhongyong was the best horseman in the regiment. Zhang Haipeng knew this, so he ordered him to lead him to break out.

Seeing that the cavalrymen had almost finished charging, Chen Zhongyong ordered his guard company's cavalrymen to surround him, forming a human protective circle and rush out. The time he chose to charge was very good, almost at the back middle of the breakout team, which was the safest position for the breakout team.

Chen Zhongyong’s horsemanship was indeed amazing, and he quickly increased the speed of the horse. Zhang Haipeng was thrown around and screamed in pain. He felt that his broken bones were no longer usable.

"Damn you Chen Zhongyong! Are you trying to kill me? Ouch, be gentle, be gentle!"

Chen Zhongyong ignored Zhang Haipeng's howls of pain. His eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead. He could not see anything clearly and could only hear the dense sound of horse hooves around him, but he knew that there was something in the darkness.

After the leading cavalry team rushed out about 300 meters, more than 20 flares suddenly rose in the sky. These flares dispelled the darkness like the sun, and also filled Chen Zhongyong's heart with a large haze.

The next moment, a large amount of gun flames exploded in front of the cavalry's breakout, and fire snakes shot into the cavalry team, instantly knocking a large number of cavalry and their horses to the ground.

Chen Zhongyong sighed in his heart as he watched the cavalrymen in front of him keep falling. The sound was obviously automatic fire, and there were hundreds of them. The enemy had obviously made key deployments here, and they were afraid they were going to die.

This is easy to understand. Zhang Haipeng's hometown is Taonan, which is in the south. Zhang Haipeng was dizzy after being bombed, and the first thing he thought of was to run south. Therefore, the enemy would focus on the south.

He was right. Li Qinwu had made key deployments in the south.

At the beginning, Li Qinwu evenly deployed heavy machine guns around Tailai County. The traitors who tried to break out of the county did not dare to act rashly. After they were frightened, Li Qinwu opened a portal to transport the heavy machine guns to the south of Tailai County, waiting to give these traitors a big blow when they broke out!
