The Japanese army occupied Yichang and carried a large burden, and in the face of Chen Cheng's Sixth Theater and Li Zongren's Fifth Theater of Operations, the Japanese army was forced to reinforce the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army stationed in Jiamusi, Yamashita Fengfumi, and the Guards Division of Shojiro Iida, who was protecting Kyoto, to this line.

Before the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese army assembled 2 divisions and 1 brigade near Yichang to garrison Yichang. Since the Nationalist army blocked this line of water transportation, all supplies had to be transported through the terrible Hanyi Road, which was extremely difficult, and was attacked along the way by Chinese troops and local guerrillas.

At this point, the mission of the Southern Expeditionary Army was completed, and it was quickly transferred to the mountainous area northwest of Yichang City to rest and stand by, including the Second Regiment of the People's Regiment of Yichang City.

Looking at the ashes of Yichang City, Xiao Diao Chan seemed to be preoccupied, and she was discussing with her girls.

Xiao Diao Chan said to her companions: "Girls, look at it, can we go back to Yichang City?" ”

Her girls said indignantly, "I'm going back to a, I don't even have a place to live." "Go back to serve anyone, serve the little devils, I think they are dirty." Besides, they are so small, they are disgusting when they see them, that little plaything, can it be done! "We're all fighting devils, and when we went back, we hit the muzzle of the gun, and we didn't look for a gun!"

Xiao Diao Chan asked them again: "Since Yichang can't go back, what should we do?" ”

A girl rolled her eyes and gave her an idea: "Simply, we will serve the Southern Expeditionary Army." The Southern Expeditionary Army is all men, isn't it in need of special services! With men, we have food to eat. ”

"Humph!" A girl who was not born in a brothel snorted and said, "Just rely on you people to make a mess in the Southern Expeditionary Army." People are disciplined, how can they allow you to stir up trouble! ”

Li Dazhong happened to pass by from here, Xiao Diao Chan pulled Li Dazhong at once, and said to him flatteringly: "Instructor Li, Instructor Li, you have finally trained us, and you have made a great contribution!" But now we can't go back to Yichang, you want someone there, let's follow you. ”

Li Dazhong looked at them and looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart. He said to Xiao Diao Chan: "What are you going to do, one by one like fox spirits, disturbing the morale of the army!" Besides, we can't control the affairs of your militia groups, and they belong to the local government. Go find that white living water! ”

"It's still alive!" Xiao Diao Chan pursed his lips and said, "I heard that the person has already asked Chief Chen Cheng to detain him, and all the family property has been confiscated." This white scourge is a big scourge of our Yichang City, the money is not less greedy, and the romantic things are not less. Our girl from Yichun Courtyard, which one of them hasn't been on his body! This old immortal also has today. ”

The girls said gossipily, "And that Wu understands, and Chen Cheng is also detained, and the family property is confiscated." "It's so happy, they also have today." "We, the people of Yichang City, can be relieved!" "It's not that you don't report it, it's not ...... time"

Xiao Diao Chan hurriedly stopped the noise of the girls and said to Li Dazhong: "Instructor Li, you trained us, and you led us to fight devils." You can't leave us alone, don't you, girls-"

"yes—" cried out the girls.

As soon as Li Dazhong saw this formation, he wanted to slip away, but Xiao Diao Chan stopped him in front of him and didn't let him go. Li Dazhong wanted to bypass by, Xiao Diao Chan gave him a look, and the girls surrounded him tightly, telling him not to get out.

Xiao Diao Chan loudly encouraged the girls and said, "If Instructor Li ignores us, we won't be able to spare him." Girls, play gongs—"

Dozens of girls immediately surrounded Li Dazhong, grabbing arms, pulling legs, and untying belts, and wanted to "violence" Li Dazhong again.

Li Da Center was stunned, no matter how powerful it is, it is difficult for a good tiger to fight a group of wolves, and it can't deal with such a large group of she-wolves as them! Also, you can't hurt the killer and use a trick, if you are so soft and hard, it is not a loss for yourself. So Li Dazhong had no choice but to beg for mercy and shouted to Xiao Diaochan: "Okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll find a way for you." ”

As soon as Xiao Diao Chan heard that there was a play, she quickly beckoned to the girls and told them to stop.

Li Dazhong had no choice but to say softly: "I will lead you to Commander Han, he is in charge of this matter." ”

So, Li Dazhong had no choice but to lead Xiao Diao Chan and them to find Commander Han. At this time, Han Xingzheng, Liu Zhiyuan, and Hou Dazhong were studying the withdrawal of troops to Guanxian County.

As soon as Han Xing saw that Li Dazhong was leading Xiao Diao Chan's people, he guessed seven or eight points, and when he heard Xiao Diao Chan say this, Han Xing immediately understood, he looked at it and went far away, and said to Xiao Diao Chan: "Xiao Diao Chan, we are in the army, you lead some people, to our army, what can you do?" ”

Xiao Diao Chan looked at Han Xing and pretended to be mysterious: "We are women, what can we do!" You have men in your army, and we women can do special services for you. ”

Han Xing was anxious when he heard this, glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, and said hatefully: "It must not work!" And special services, you think we are Japanese troops, and comfort women. ”

Liu Zhiyuan also shook his head and said: "It's too nonsense, our Eighth Route Army is not prosperous, even the Kuomintang army is not prosperous." ”

Xiao Diao Chan smiled and said, "Commander Han, I'm joking with you!" How can we do that again! What is a woman in our south, she is a good cow, and we don't do all the heavy work and tiring work. Even if you carry a gun, you are more powerful than a man, don't believe it, you find some local men to compete with us, which one is better than us. We joined your Southern Expeditionary Army, mainly to beg for food, and of course, to fight devils. ”

Han Xing thought about it, what she said was not wrong, this Yichang City is strange, how weak men are, and how strong women are, almost all of them do heavy physical work are women, while men are at home to watch children and take care of the house.

For this matter, Han Xing is not willing to be in charge of his own affairs, he must discuss it with Liu Zhiyuan and Hou Dashan. Only when the two of them agreed, and they could not speak when they saw Zhang Weihan. Han Xing called the two of them aside to discuss this matter, but unexpectedly, Hou Dashan shook his head again and again and said to Han Xing:

"I said Commander Han, you better get into less trouble! What do these people do, they all do that, and if they don't do it for three days, X will itch. Our army is full of young people, they are in a hurry, if you can't get it right, when the female dog is in heat, the male dog is restless, and this time it messes up our team. ”

When Liu Zhiyuan heard Hou Dashan's words, he wanted to laugh, but he still supported Hou Dashan's opinion: "Commander Han, if they are ordinary poor women, they can be said." But most of these are prostitutes, and the risks are too great! ”

Han Xing originally wanted to get the support of the two people, but now it's over, and Han Xing can't talk anymore. Han Xing had no choice but to go back to do work for Xiao Diao Chan and said, "Xiao Diao Chan, our Southern Expeditionary Army does not need to expand the army for the time being. You guys, let's stay in the local area, and tell the local government to think of a way, as long as it's a war, it's still a good job. ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Diao Chan became anxious when he heard this, and shouted loudly to Han Xing: "Commander Han, come and turn it upside down, do you think we are some prostitutes!" Isn't it too bad to disturb the morale of your Southern Expeditionary Army? Okay, don't you want us, forcing us to have no choice, we have to go back to Yichang City, open a brothel again, and serve the Japanese! ”

These words deeply stimulated Han Xing's heart. Yes, they are Chinese women, if we don't manage them, can we say that we should let them serve the Japanese again!? As a conscientious Chinese, there is no way to accept this fact.

Han Xing looked at Li Dazhong and said to Li Dazhong, "Platoon Commander Li, what do you think should be done about this matter?" ”

Li Dazhong said: "Don't look at them as just a militia group, but they did their best in the battle." Originally, there were more than 1,000 people, but now, even those who escaped and died in battle, there are only about 300 people. If we train and train well, I believe we will become a good soldier. ”

Han Xing then strengthened his belief and said to Xiao Diaochan: "Xiao Diaochan, our Southern Expeditionary Army is a unit of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and it has strict discipline. If you do get into our ranks, will you be able to stand the strict discipline? ”

When Xiao Diao Chan heard that there was still hope, he straightened his chest and said firmly: "The army has military regulations, and the family has family laws, where can there be no discipline." If we get to the ranks of your Southern Expeditionary Army, of course, we have to obey the discipline of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and if anyone violates the discipline, it is her personal problem, and she will be dealt with by her own military law. ”

Han Xing had to call Liu Zhiyuan and Hou Dashan aside again to discuss. Han Xing said to the two of them: "The Second Regiment of the People's Republic of China is also obvious to all in this battle, and there are not many people, only about 300 people, I want to organize those who are willing to join the Southern Expeditionary Army into a company and manage them well." Of course, there are many difficulties, and I hope you both will support me. ”

Hou Dashan originally thought that Han Xing was the first to look forward, but when he saw Han Xing speak, he quickly changed his words: "I think it's okay, with the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, we will soon be able to refine them into good steel." ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "I think it's very difficult! But since Commander Han supports this matter, let's give it a try! ”

So, the matter was decided. When Xiao Diao Chan heard the good news, she was so happy that she and her girls jumped up and screamed for a while. There were still about 300 people left in the Second Regiment of the Militia Regiment, and more than 100 were willing to join the Southern Expeditionary Army, and Han Xing decided to organize them into a company and personally command them under the command of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

The retreat of the Southern Expeditionary Army was also decided, and the retreat from the air transport line to the Kouxian base area was decided. Only the tank battalion that swam forward had difficulty retreating, and they worked harder and drove to the Nanyang airfield, from which they were airlifted by the Y-8 transport plane to the Kouxian base area.
