Chief of Staff Takeshi Fujiwara asked, "Your Excellency, Commander, what's wrong?" ”

"See for yourself."

After saying that, Okamura Ninji handed over the telegram in his hand.

Fujiwara Takeshi took a look, and his face was also extremely serious, so he asked: "Your Excellency Commander, has the Tiger Ben Regiment really crossed the river and descended south?" ”

"Hmm!" Although Okamura Ninji was very reluctant to admit it, he nodded helplessly.

Fujiwara Takeshi asked again, "So what do we do now?" ”

Okamura Ninji said: "Send a telegram to Inaba-kun and Hagisu-kun, and order them to immediately lead their troops to the dock and prepare to cross the river and head south!"

However, in order to be sure, tell them that each division will leave an infantry wing and continue to search Huangmei County! ”

"Hayi!"

Fujiwara Takeshi nodded, and went out in person, heading towards the confidential room.

Okamura Ninji clenched his right fist and said with a look of resentment: "Junrokuro Matsuura, report to the next level, you didn't take me as a commander in your eyes, good, good!" ”

…………

After leaving the county seat of Yangxin, the Huben regiment did not continue to the west, but went south, entering the territory of Wuning County, Jiangxi, intending to enter Hunan from Pingjiang through Xiushui.

Because compared with Hubei, although Jiangxi will take a detour, the pressure it faces is much less.

At this time, the deputy regiment commander Wang Dali suddenly stepped forward and caught up with Yang Jing and reported: "Tuanzao, the theater headquarters has learned that we have successfully crossed the Yangtze River and captured Yangxin County.

Commander Xue Boling sent a telegram asking us which route to take to break through the siege, so that we could send troops to meet us! ”

"I didn't expect that the intelligence network of the military command is really powerful, so soon, I will know it." The corners of Yang Jing's mouth rose slightly, revealing a different smile, and said:

"I called back to Governor Xue Boling, and said that we planned to continue westward, through Xianning, and enter Linxiang County in Hunan from Chibi and Chongyang.

However, the Japanese army had a large number of troops stationed in the Xianning area, and in order to make a fool of itself, he also asked Chief Xue to send as many troops as possible to meet them.

At the same time, Yellowstone, and other areas are harassing to distract the Japanese army! ”

Wang Dali asked with some doubts: "Tuanzao, in Jiangxi, there are also a large number of troops stationed, and Xiushui County alone is enough to have a detachment, and there are a large number of pursuers behind it.

Aren't we going to ask the Theater Governor's Department to send a few troops to meet us? ”

Yang Jing said: "The military command is in the Japanese-occupied area, and even there are a large number of spy personnel within the Imperial Allied Army. In the army, there are also a large number of spies.

If we tell the Theater Commander's Department about the route of the breakout, then in less than an hour, the Japanese army will learn the news, so they will mobilize troops overnight and wait for us in Xiushui County! ”

Wang Dali said with admiration: "The sound of the east strikes the west, the plank road is repaired in the light, and the Chen Cang is dark!"

Tuanza, you're so clever! ”

……

Tiger Ben Regiment for the country. The importance of the military does not need to be repeated.

After General Xue Boling learned the news, he immediately dispatched troops overnight and launched a surprise attack on Jiayu, Chibi, Chongyang, and Tongcheng counties west of Xianning, so as to cover the smooth breakthrough of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

On the other hand, the Japanese army also learned the news through the spies of the special high class.

At the same time, with the assistance of the naval fleet, the 6th and 13th Divisions, which had successfully crossed the Yangtze River, were also speeding up and swarming towards this side.

A battle with more than 100,000 troops began......

……

Yang Jing, as the initiator, did not know about this, and after dawn, he stopped stationing at the junction of Wuning and Xiushui.

Since the Battle of Qingshuiwan, Guo Shaoqing, who had gathered and integrated some of the defeated troops, joined the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment under the leadership of the monkey, and then followed all the way to Wuning.

In the past two days, Guo Shaoqing and others have not only seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger Regiment, but also seen the wealth of the Tiger Regiment.

Every day, there are white flour steamed buns, white rice, and meat to eat.

This kind of treatment almost made them cry with envy.

You must know that even as a member of the Central Army, they are only treated a little better than ordinary local troops, and it is already very good to be able to get their military salaries on time and have enough to eat.

Eating meat at once is something you never dreamed of.

What made the generals of the 113th Regiment most angry was that these animals of the Tiger Regiment were tired of eating crookedly!

It's a big drop of hate!

After Yang Jing learned of Guo Shaoqing's skills, he deliberately wooed him, after all, the Tiger Ben Regiment was too short of capable talents.

On this morning, after the troops were stationed, Yang Jing set up a banquet to entertain Guo Shaoqing, Li Yi, and Liu Da.

This time it was hot food.

In the first battle of Yangxin, the Tiger Ben Regiment found a lot of charcoal in the county seat, and Yang Jing knew the scarcity of this thing, so he ordered it to be taken away.

Because charcoal is used to bury the pot to make rice, there will be no cooking smoke, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by the devil's reconnaissance plane.

Of course, it was not only Guo Shaoqing, Li Yi and Liu Da who were entertained.

More than 500 remnants of the other 113th Regiment, as well as all the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, also took the opportunity to eat a hot meal.

The reason why there are still more than 500 people in the 113th Regiment is because after the First Battle of Qingshuiwan, Guo Shaoqing, with the help of the Tiger Ben Regiment, gathered many defeated troops that were scattered.

……

The sun rises in the east, and the originally quiet mountains and forests are lively.

Yang Jing had already sent a lot of scouts out to guard, so even if the movement was a little louder, he didn't have to worry about being exposed.

Yang Jing, Ma Tong, Guo Shaoqing, Li Yi, and Liu Da sat around a dining table made of several ammunition boxes.

"Come, come, come! Eat, eat, eat, everyone, don't be polite to me, otherwise you will look down on me Yang someone! ”

Yang Jing sandwiched a large piece of braised pork into Guo Shaoqing's bowl, and then took out a can of chicken-flavored Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, and said, "Head Guo, dip this secret chili sauce into it, it tastes even more beautiful!" ”

After speaking, Yang Jing scooped some chili sauce into his bowl with a spoon and picked up a piece of braised pork for demonstration.

Then he chewed a piece of meat, and said complimentingly: "Speaking of which, thanks to your regiment for sending reinforcements this time, otherwise it would not be so easy for my Tiger Regiment to leave Yuexi and highlight the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army." ”

"Head Yang is serious, Head Yang is serious!" Guo Shaoqing's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Our 113th regiment didn't help, but dragged your regiment back.

If it weren't for the timely help of the commander of your regimental monkey company, I am afraid that my life would have been confessed to Qingshuiwan long ago!

And my brothers who were captured will also be poisoned by the little devils. ”

Yang Jing waved his hand and said: "The quality of our army's individual soldiers, and even the weapons and equipment, are much worse than those of the Japanese army.

Even many armies have been psychologically shadowed by the Japanese army, so that they fled without a fight.

Your group knew that going to Yuexi would be a dead life, but they still came without hesitation!

Unlike some troops, at a critical moment, even if there is an order from the seal, it will be disobeyed!

For this courage and loyalty alone, there are few troops that can compare with it!

It is no exaggeration to say that if every army can be as loyal and brave as your regiment, and put personal life and death aside for the sake of the great interests of the family and country, why not be driven out of the country! ”
