Zhao Lan next to him was also itchy when he heard it, and said urgently: "Master, deputy teacher, is this true?" ”

Tao Liu was stunned when he heard this, and said to Zhong Guangren: "Brother Guangren, do you say that the surname Zhong will play us?" ”

Zhong Guangren waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "Master, this won't be, although the relationship between my family and our Tenth Army is bad, but it is still okay to be a person, what he says will definitely be fulfilled, he said that he will send 500,000 catties of cornmeal, then he will definitely send 500,000 catties of cornmeal!" ”

"Good!" Tao Liu clapped his hands violently, turned back to Zhao Lan and said, "Head Zhao, you go and tell the brothers, hold on, and when you return to Ciwu Town, I will invite them to eat cornmeal wotou, and take care of your fill!" By the way, not only today, but from tomorrow onwards, eat cornmeal every day, and be full every day! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Lan agreed and went happily.

After a while, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment on the road burst into cheers.

Then the officers and men got up again and began to walk back along the road.

……

The convoy of Yinjiang has already set off.

On the highway from Yinjiang to Yuyao, Mr. Zhao Xingjiu carried a Sanyou brand bicycle, walking majestically and vigorously at the front of the team, with a hemp bag tied to the back seat of his bicycle and a hundred catties of cornmeal in it.

Although carrying a hundred pounds of cornmeal, the old man still pedaled the bicycle and flew up, and the strong man next to him who was also pedaling the bicycle couldn't catch up.

While pedaling the bicycle, the old man turned back to a strong man and said, "Fourth, you can't do it!" I'm only forty years old, and I can't catch up with an old man like me, how did you do it? ”

A young man next to him said with a smile: "The fourth brother ploughed a lot at night. ”

"Cultivated land?" The old man smiled, "Fourth, this is temperance, you haven't heard of it, there are only tired cattle, and there is no bad land?" ”

"Yes." Someone chimed in, "The more the land is ploughed, the fatter it gets, and the thinner the oxen become." ”

"Fourth brother, don't be too diligent in serving the fourth sister-in-law, you're about to lose weight."

Dozens of strong men or guys on bicycles immediately burst out laughing.

The strong man was not annoyed, and said to Zhao Xingjiu with a smile: "Old man, you are fast, maybe you are faster than the wheels of a car?" ”

When Zhao Xingjiu heard this, he turned around and saw that a convoy had already opened out of Wangchun Gate, a huge convoy of more than two hundred Dodge trucks.

This is a team that Zhong Yi finally set up.

In addition to requisitioning 50 Dodge trucks from the artillery regiment, Zhong Yi also borrowed more than 100 from factories in the Yinjiang Industrial Zone to form a fleet of more than 200 trucks.

Speaking of which, this convoy is the main force for transporting supplies.

Because trucks are more powerful and faster than their people's teams!

For example, the first batch of military rations delivered to the 10th and 41st armies was transported by convoys.

Of course, they also have a unique advantage that the truck fleet does not have, that is, the road requirements are low, and the trucks must take the road, but they can even go on mountain roads.

In the blink of an eye, the truck convoy drove past from the side of the Minfu team, but the dust that rolled up sprayed the old man Zhao Xingjiu's head and face.

"Whew!" Zhao Xingjiu snorted at the truck convoy and snorted, "What's the cow?" We'll see! ”

After a pause, Zhao Xingjiu turned around and yelled at the dozen strong men riding bicycles and the middle-aged and elderly people pushing the carts: "Folks, don't let people see our jokes!" Let's go! ”

……

In Yinjiang, Zhejiang-Fujian met the enemy's staff before the battle.

He Wenxi walked in with several telegrams and whispered: "Counselor, the report of the 33rd Division has been provisionally compiled, and the ships of the Japanese Navy have been discovered off the coast of Wenzhou, and there are very many of them!" ”

When Zhong Yi heard this, he picked up a few wargames and put them on the simulated sand table.

After the release, Zhong Yi said again: "It seems that the Japanese army on the right is about to land." ”

He Wenxi nodded and said: "And as expected, the right army of the little devil really landed in Wenzhou, instead of landing in Fuzhou as said before." ”

"Something to be expected." Zhong Yi said, "What about the Left Route Army? ”

He Wenxi flipped through the telegram in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The devil's right army has arrived in Hangzhou in the afternoon, but because the boats crossing the river are not ready, the Japanese army has not crossed the Qiantang River to the east, but a brigade has already attacked in the direction of Fuyang, and now it has crossed Xixi!" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Which unit was Fuyang originally in? ”

He Wenxi said: "From Tianmu Mountain to Fuyang, it was originally garrisoned by the 16th Division, but after receiving your order, the 16th Division has crossed the Fuchun River south and fortified between Tonglu County and Zhuji County. ”

Zhong Yi nodded, and then asked, "In other words, now there are only security teams and patrols left in Fuyang County?" ”

"It should be." He Wenxi replied, "After all, the General Staff did not issue an order for the security team and patrol officers to retreat. ”

Zhong Yi said again: "In this way, immediately send a telegram to the 16th Division, ask the 16th Division to send a signal soldier back to Fuyang County nearby, and tell the security team and patrol police in Fuyang County that the devil must not fight hard when he comes, and withdraw to the north of Yeshantou and Yangmei Mountain after a few shots, and then come out and release a few shots when it gets dark, and then retreat in the direction of Tonglu." ”

"Yes." He Wenxi agreed and turned around.

Zhong Yi's eyes fell on the sand table again, and the battle finally began!

……

Almost at the same time, in the western suburbs of Hangzhou.

The 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, which arrived in Hangzhou first, had already begun to march along the highway to Fuyang County.

It should be explained that the Left Route Army participating in the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian was not three divisions, but two divisions and one brigade, and this brigade was independently mixed into the 11th Brigade.

The 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army was also the forward of the Left Army.

The intention of the Japanese army to form an independent mixed brigade was to garrison it.

However, in fact, after the Sino-Japanese War entered the stage of stalemate, except for the 11th Army under Okamura Ninji, the rest of the field troops basically had no battle to fight, but were independent mixed brigades originally used to garrison the localities, and often had to face endless attacks and harassment by the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the guerrillas of the Nationalist Army.

Actual combat is the best means of training, and after more than a year of actual combat, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's independent mixed brigades and regiments has already caught up with the major field divisions and regiments.

It is precisely because of this that the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is qualified to be the vanguard of the Japanese left flank cluster.

The commander of the 11th Brigade is called Fujii Sueyoshi, an old devil in his fifties, born in cavalry, because he has been riding a horse for a long time, his legs are a little loopy, and he can't see it when he rides a horse, and he swings when he walks, like a duck.
