Chapter 568: Ten Thousand Admirers (Fourth Update!) )
At eight o'clock in the evening, after a simple rest and eating, to replenish energy.
Yang Chen led the last 1,200 or so brothers of the Tiger Ben Regiment to the southeast and withdrew from this mountainous area.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, he rushed to Jinzhong and reported to the baggage battalion and field hospital that had arrived here in advance.
Because the straight-line distance between Jinzhong and Taiyuan is only 100 miles, before the devil's army arrives in Taiyuan, the people in the city have basically fled.
At this time, ten rooms and nine empty cities have become completely empty.
After a little rest, Yang Chen led the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment out of Jinzhong City at night and continued to rush to the southeast of Jin.
Three days later, he successfully arrived at an important city in the southeast of Shanxi: Changzhi.
Although Taiyuan is lost, the sin is no longer Yang Chen.
On the contrary, because of Yang Chen's dedication, the people in Taiyuan City were transferred in advance and were not poisoned and ravaged by the Japanese army.
At the same time, the Tiger Regiment withstood the attack of the Japanese army with its own strength, so that the Taiyuan garrison could be smoothly transferred, and once again gave the Japanese army a head-on blow, so that its losses were defeated.
Therefore, Yang Chen is not only not guilty, but meritorious.
It was highly praised by Yan Laoxi and even the chairman of the committee, and was rewarded by electricity.
In the end, Yang Chen was appointed by the Nationalist Government as the commander of the Changzhi City Defense, in charge of the defense of the southeast region of Shanxi.
The Tiger Ben Regiment officially began its reorganization and rest in Changzhi.
……
On the Japanese side, after learning that the Tiger Regiment had withdrawn overnight, they sent troops to occupy the southeast area of Mingqian Town that morning, which could be regarded as a reasonable answer to the commander of the dispatch army, Nishio Shouzo.
Subsequently, the Japanese Shanxi Temporary Dispatch Army was unable to continue the pursuit of Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui Army and Wei Junru's Central Army because of the large casualties in the First Battle of Taiyuan.
Simply transferred to rest in the Taiyuan area.
And the three-month Shanxi War also came to an end.
Nishio Shouzo was also impeached by a group of senior generals such as Seishiro Itagaki, Bunzaburo Kawagishi, and Kumaya Shimoto because of his ineffective command of the Taiyuan operation, which led to the loss of troops and generals in various units of the Temporary Dispatch Army, and was recalled to the mainland by the Japanese base camp.
Although the 1st Army was almost completely annihilated by the Tiger Regiment in the previous battle, it was reorganized during this time.
Yoshio Shinozuka, a guy who had to be promoted to commander of the 1st Army on September 7, 1939, was appointed early because the then commander of the 1st Army, Kiyoshi Kazuki, was broken in Wutai County.
and led the reorganized 1st Army to re-garrison Shanxi.
Major General Naosaburo Okabe served as Chief of Staff of the 1st Army.
However, these Yang Chen can't care about it now, because he knows history well and knows that in a few months, the Battle of Xuzhou may break out.
He wants to take advantage of this rare time to recuperate and reorganize the troops in case of emergency.
Changzhi County.
Because the northwestern part of Shanxi was captured by the Japanese army, a large number of people evacuated to the south.
Especially after Yang Chen led the Tiger Ben Regiment into Changzhi County, the displaced people in Xiangyuan, Tunliu, Changzi, Songcheng and other surrounding areas and cities rushed to vote.
With the crazy influx of a large number of ordinary people, this thousand-year-old city has become overcrowded, and at the same time, it has also driven the economy here, and the abnormal development and prosperity have been achieved.
People come and go, traffic is busy, merchants and hawkers, all over the city of Changzhi inside and outside.
With the arrival of the Tiger Regiment, the county seat of Changzhi has a faint tendency to become the military, political, and economic center of the entire Shanxi.
Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan were publicized by the national government as national heroes and banner benchmarks.
At this time, the names of Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan were already known to the world.
Of course, Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan also deserve such publicity and praise!
The country needs heroes, and the nation needs heroes!
As soon as Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan came to Changzhi County, they were warmly welcomed by the Changzhi military and civilians.
Among them, the magistrate of Changzhi County led a cadre of local officials from the county seat out of the city gate to greet him.
The welcome ceremony was not without grandeur.
This feeling of being admired by all the people is really not too good.
It's worth it, it's all worth it!
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment only felt that everything they had done and paid before was worth it.
What about the bloodshed, what about the sacrifice?
……
After days of fierce fighting, all the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment were too tired.
Therefore, Yang Chen gave everyone a three-day vacation, and at the same time, he personally paid for the purchase of a large number of pigs, cattle and mutton for the Tiger Bentuan.
He also took out a large number of famous cigarettes and liquor from his personal space, and temporarily canceled the toasting order.
Let all the brothers of the Tiger Bentuan, long live the Tuanza!
In the night of the day.
The lights of the Tiger Regiment station are always bright.
According to the order of Yang Chen, the cooking team stewed dozens of pots of pork, beef and mutton purchased by the cooking team.
The entire compound of the station is full of meat, which makes people salivate.
It's been a long time since I've eaten this steaming fresh meat, and before the pot is boiled, many of the brothers of the Tiger Bentuan have already flowed out.
His eyes were staring straight in the direction of the cooking class, licking his tongue.
In fact, the food of the Tiger Bentuan is not bad, and it can even be described as luxurious.
Their canned beef and mutton, as well as canned vegetables and fruits, etc., are even more tired of eating.
This kind of treatment, not to mention that the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army can't do it, even the little devils can't do it at all.
But can that thing compare to this steaming fresh meat?
No!
Especially the bottles, cans, all kinds of never-before-seen, beautifully packaged wines, even more hooked their souls.
In order to ensure that the army maintains a high level of combat quality at all times, Yang Chen, the head of the Tiger Regiment, has repeatedly ordered and banned alcohol.
And he himself leads by example.
When marching and fighting, I never thought that the wine was fine, but at this time, the ban on alcohol was lifted and so many good wines were put out, didn't it cost people to die?
As a result, their gluttony was hooked out at once.
At this time, Yang Chen walked out from the regiment headquarters with a group of high-level tiger regiments such as Wang Gui and Rake Ear.
Seeing the compound where the regiment was stationed, a group of brothers from the Tiger Ben Regiment who drooled at the head of the regiment scolded angrily: "Damn, look at your current appearance, if you let outsiders see it, you have to lose the face of my Tiger Ben Tuan!" ”
"Regiment...... Tuanza. Since we went to the front line, we haven't had a proper meal for two or three months, not to mention this fragrant stew and delicious wine. ”
A veteran company commander of the Tiger Ben Regiment who followed Yang Chen wiped the corners of his mouth and responded with an embarrassed face.
"yes, Danza."
The words of the veteran company commander were quickly unanimously supported and echoed by all the brothers of the Tiger Ben Regiment.
"Damn, look at your unproductive appearance, all big men, it's better than a group of girls! Unpromising! ”
"Hmm...... Well. ”
At this moment, there were suddenly several voices of women coughing lightly behind Yang Chen.
……。
