When it comes to weapons and equipment, the Sichuan army is definitely the most rudimentary, but the Sichuan army is definitely one of the most daring troops to fight the battlefield to resist foreign invaders.

Li Zongyao, commander of the theater, took a fancy to the fighting style of the Central Sichuan Army, which was dedicated to fighting the war and daring to fight, so he handed over such an important guard task to the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army.

At present, a brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and an infantry wing of the 101st Division are making a detour along the northern section of the Jinpu Line, and they have formed a situation of encirclement of Nanguan County.

It is absolutely impossible for the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army alone to stop more than 10,000 Japanese troops.

The Japanese army's two-way troops were menacing, and for this reason, Commander Li Zongyao in the theater was worried about this matter and did not know which troops to send to help Nanguan County.

"Brother Wen Qing, the 37th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, as well as the 53rd Wing of the 101st Division, the two Japanese armies are eyeing Nanguan County, and with the combat effectiveness of the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold Nanguan County." Li Zongyao shook his head helplessly with a heavy expression, and said with great concern.

Teng County and Nanguan County are very important, both of which are strategic locations of the highest priority, and no county seat can be lost.

Although there are many units of various military departments in the Fifth Theater, there are really not many units that can attack and defend well and fight hard battles, and most of the troops do not obey the dispatch of the theater at all.

Take the elite Central Army units as an example, their generals basically only obey President Jiang's orders, and the orders in the theater are really not good.

Therefore, the theater is not without troops to send and no one is available, the key is that Li Zongyao is worried that the generals of the troops sent will disobey the law and delay the fighters.

Bai Wenqing, as a resourceful little Zhuge , naturally knew what Li Zongyao was worried about at the moment.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Bai Wenqing said rigorously: "Brother Zong Yao, I think this Li Hong can be of great use, and it is none other than the security regiment to help Nanguan County." ”

"Li Hong?"

Li Zongyao hesitated for a few seconds, and said slowly: "This Li Hong is a descendant of Wei Boru, this security regiment is also subordinate to the battle sequence of the Central Army, and guarding Nanguan County is a vicious battle, this Li Hong will unreservedly resist the Japanese army's consumption of elite troops?" ”

Li Zongyao was not worried about Li Hong's security regiment's combat effectiveness, if the security regiment went all out to defend Nanguan County with the 53rd Army, then Nanguan County would have no worries.

However, as the supreme commander of the theater, Li Zongyao had to consider any consequences in advance, if Li Hong's security regiment ran away after firing a few shots in order to preserve its strength, Nanguan County would be conquered by the Japanese army in a few days.

"Brother Zong Yao, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people."

Bai Wenqing insisted on reusing Li Hong, and then he explained to Li Zongyao: "Before, Li Hong was in the second war zone, I studied this person, Li Hong has gone through more than a dozen battles without defeat, and the Japanese army has been very brave in battle, righteous and bold, loyal to the country, his counterattack will start today, and it will be a good story." ”

After listening, Li Zongyao nodded heavily and decided to reuse Li Hong.

"Brother Wen Qing, before reusing Li Hong, should we meet this person first?" Li Zongyao looked at Bai Wenqing next to him.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, and that's what I mean."

Bai Wenqing also agreed to meet Li Hong first, after all, only face-to-face can we better understand a dialysis person.

Subsequently, Li Zongyao sent a telegram to the theater headquarters to notify the security regiment.

……

During this period, Li Hong changed the guard from Beigu Town for repairs, and now the security regiment is stationed in a village 50 kilometers north of Xuzhou City.

Ten minutes earlier, the communications corps had received a telegram from the theater command.

The communications soldier took the telegram and found Li Hong, who was patrolling the station.

"Report to the regimental seat, the theater command is in an emergency!"

The communications soldier reported, and then informed Li Hong of the contents of the telegram.

After listening to the telegram from the war zone, Li Hong felt a little strange in his heart, there was no combat mission in this war zone, why did he let him go to the headquarters?

The telegram told him to set off immediately and rush to the headquarters, so Li Hong didn't think much about it, arranged the things in the regiment, and rushed to the theater headquarters without stopping.

Before leaving, Li Hong only brought guards and signal soldiers.

They left the station and galloped along the road in the direction of Xuzhou.

On the way to Xuzhou City, Li Hong encountered several mobilized troops, including the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, and the Central Army.

The frequent mobilization of troops in the Xuzhou area must have caused some kind of military intelligence and war.

More than two hours later, Li Hong rushed to Xuzhou City.

There were not many garrison troops stationed in Xuzhou, and most of the troops were deployed in various towns and cities near Xuzhou.

Entering the city, the group quickly found the theater command building.

The entrance to the headquarters building was heavily guarded, dozens of soldiers guarded the gate, and the sentries patrolled back and forth.

Li Hong showed his identity document and explained his intention to the sentry at the door.

Instead, the guards ran into the guard box and called Li Zongyao's adjutant.

After a while, a lieutenant colonel officer strode out, and he asked the guard at the gate to let him go.

"Quick, let Captain Li come in!"

Li Hong handed over his weapon to the guard at the door, and then followed the lieutenant colonel into the headquarters building.

The lieutenant colonel led Li Hong to the second floor and quickly entered the war room of the headquarters.

"Report, Chief Li, Chief Bai, and Regiment Leader Li are here!"

The lieutenant colonel walked into the war room, and he reported to Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing.

When Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing heard that Li Hong was coming, they immediately turned around and looked at Li Hong at the door.

"Chief Li, Chief Bai, and Li Hong are ordered to report!" Li Hong walked up to the two of them and saluted.

Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing's eyes fell on Li Hong and examined it, and then they looked at each other and laughed.

Bai Wenqing was the first to speak: "Commander Li is famous in the Second War Zone, and the Fifth War Zone has also made many miraculous achievements, and has repeatedly thwarted the Japanese army and annihilated a large number of enemies, I didn't expect Commander Li to be so young, it's really better to meet than to be famous!" ”

Li Zongyao next to him also said appreciatively: "Commander Li is brave and fierce, and he has won a hundred battles on the battlefield, and he is really terrifying!" ”

"Humble and frightened, Chief Xie Bai and Chief Li praised him." Li Hong replied respectfully.

The two commanders in front of him are both senior generals with outstanding achievements in the ** army, and Li Hong does not dare to show off his military exploits as heroes in front of them.

Especially the general standing on his left is known as Xiao Zhuge , this title is not given by Bai Wenqing himself, it is the praise he won for commanding operations on the battlefield.

Although Bai Wenqing is a general of the local army, his strategic vision and strategy, among the ** generals, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare.

Li Hong knew in his heart that these two big men came to him from afar, not to praise him a few words, there must be some other major military affairs.
