After completing the awarding of the flag to the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade, Yang Chen ordered the troops to be disbanded.

In the following time, he and Chen Ming, Wang Gui, Xu Hailang, Liu Zheping and others trained special combat teams and conventional troops separately.

Just when Yang Chen and others were in the southeast region of Shanxi, training diligently and reorganizing their armaments, the entire battle situation underwent earth-shattering changes.

After the New Year, the Japanese soldiers in North China divided into two routes and crossed the Yellow River in the south.

Han Fuqu, who was the chairman of Shandong Province at the time, really led more than 100,000 troops to flee without a fight, as in history, in order to preserve his strength, and easily gave up the natural danger of the Yellow River.

As a result, the Japanese army occupied the provincial capital Jinan almost without much effort!

After that, the Japanese soldiers were divided into two routes, and the reorganized 5th Regiment and other units went east along the Jiaozhou Railway to Weifang and Zibo.

After succeeding, he went south from Weifang, captured Yishui, Juxian, Rizhao, and went straight to Linyi.

The 10th Division and other units went south along the Jinpu Railway, and after breaking through the natural danger of Mount Tai, they connected to Tai'an, Laiwu and other important towns in Luzhong, and then continued to divide the troops into two roads again, all the way from Jiaxiang to the west of the canal, attacking Juye, Heze and other places.

All the way along the Jinpu Railway continued south, invaded Teng County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Taierzhuang and other places.

Realizing that the situation was not right, the Nationalist Government immediately set up the Fifth Theater of Operations, with General Li Delin as the commander-in-chief, commanding more than 500,000 troops to resist the Japanese attack.

For a time, the land of Qilu was full of smoke and war.

At the same time, the Japanese army in Central China, which had committed heinous crimes in Nanjing, had been recuperating for nearly two months.

In order to cope with the Japanese army in North China, it was also decided to send troops to cross the river to the north, attack Xuzhou along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and advance north and south with the Japanese army in North China, and attack Xuzhou.

At that time, the commander of the Japanese army in Central China, Shunroku Hatata, had just taken office and took over the position of Matsui Ishone, so he immediately ordered the 16th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Nanjing at that time to cross the river and go north as the vanguard to capture Chuzhou.

Open the way for the Japanese army in North China to move north and occupy an advance base.

At the same time, the 9th Division crossed the river to attack Yangzhou.

With the cooperation and assistance of the navy and air force, the two Japanese troops, nearly 50,000 troops, crossed the Yangtze River one after another.

Fierce attacks were launched on Chuzhou, Yangzhou and other places.

The country stationed in Yangzhou. After several days of bloody fighting, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great.

The troops suffered heavy casualties and were forced to abandon Yangzhou and retreat to the Soviet-central region.

Finally, it withdrew into the area of Xuyi and Jinhu, and joined the 7th Army, the 11th Group Army, the 48th Army and other units stationed here, and began to deploy a defensive line along Lianghuai.

In case the Japanese army continued to invade the north.

On the Chuzhou side, the 1st Army led by Hu Shoushan held the city and launched an unprecedented battle with the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

Hu Shoushan's unit was the elite of the Central Army, well-equipped, well-trained, and numbered in the tens of thousands, and its strength was only much larger than that of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, Nakajima Imasago Shogo.

If it was really alone, it would not be so easy for the Japanese 16th Division to defeat Hu Shoushan's division.

However, the Japanese army had absolute air supremacy, and fighters and bombers continued to bomb the positions of the 1st Army.

Hu Shoushan's headquarters fought a bloody battle with the 6th Division for more than three days, and suffered heavy losses under the combined attack of the Japanese army's powerful ground and air firepower.

Chuzhou was in an emergency, and the 11th Group Army, which had just been turned into the command of the Fifth Theater, was ordered to rush to the aid of the 31st Army and the 51st Army along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Chen is familiar with history and has always paid attention to the current battle situation.

When it was discovered that the Japanese army had provoked a major war again, he quietly led the Tiger Ben Regiment to set off from the southeast of Shanxi.

After crossing the Taihang Mountain, it took more than half a month to finally arrive in Huainan, Anhui Province.

Among them, the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade and the reconnaissance battalion were the first to arrive.

At this time, through the information obtained by the military commander, Yang Chen also knew something about the war in Chuzhou and Yangzhou.

It was learned that the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was fighting fiercely in Chuzhou with the 1st Army and other units, and the victory was not scored.

Yang Chen immediately decided to lead the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade and went straight to Chuzhou.

The 16th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the 17 standing divisions of Little Japan, codenamed "Heng".

In the Russo-Japanese War, it was formed in Kyoto on July 18, 1905 as a reserve force, and its headquarters was located in Kyoto, and the officers and soldiers were mainly from Kyoto, Mie Prefecture and Nara Prefecture, so it was also called the "Kyoto Division".

The 16th Division was one of the culprits in the Nanjing tragedy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, under the commander of the division, Nakajima and Isamo, almost every little devil has the blood of the Chinese people on his hands.

The Nanjing tragedy has happened, and Yang Chen cannot change this history of humiliation.

But he will use these Oriental miscellaneous items to pay tribute to the countless tragic deaths in their hands, the souls of the Chinese military and civilians in the sky!

At the same time, the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade has been secretly training in his hands for so long, as a sharp blade, it is time to unsheath.

Yang Chen briefly explained to Wang Gui, Liao Yong and other high-level leaders of the Tiger Regiment, and then waved his hand to the Dragon Soul Special Combat Team members who were ready to go behind him: "All of them, let's go!" This time, I'm going to take you to kill Nakajima Isago this old devil raised by a son of a bitch!"

There are many members of the Dragon Soul Special Combat Team, all of whom are veterans who survived countless bloody battles in the Shanxi War.

After the bloody battle, they have already looked down on life and death, and there is only one goal left in their minds, that is, to restore my rivers and mountains! Kill all those hateful invaders and drive them out of the country!

Therefore, with the order of Yang Chen, the soldiers suddenly became excited, and they were all eager to try, and they couldn't wait to rush to the Chuzhou battlefield immediately and kill Nakajima Isago this old Oriental devil called a dog.

So much so that after starting the march, they were very fast, scrambling one by one.

It is worth mentioning that the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade was built by Yang Chen as a peerless blade.

At this time, the special combat team members were all equipped with individual equipment far beyond this era, especially after taking the quenching pill, they all became super fighters at the level of Ma Fei and Lu Yuan.

These special combat members, compared with the old group of super fighters of the Tiger Ben Regiment, are all surpassed.

After all, the original 12 people were just ordinary soldiers of the third company, while the special combat team members were carefully selected from thousands of people.

The starting point is already much higher than 12 people.

Especially Duan Peng, after taking the Quenching Pill, his overall physical quality soared to a terrifying 2.4.

It is even higher than Wang Gui's 2.2, second only to Chen Ming's 2.5.

In terms of the entire Tiger Ben Regiment, it is also ranked in the top three.

This operation was taken by Yang Chen as an opportunity to temper the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade.

So, everyone, including his regiment, marched on foot.

Although the marching speed is a little slower, it can improve their physical strength, endurance and speed.

If you want to become a real elite special forces, drugs are only auxiliary, and the final result still needs to be tempered by their own efforts.
