The command room of the 13th Division Headquarters in Guanjia Town.

After receiving the telegram from the 33rd Wing, the face of the commander of the Ogishu Rixing Division was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Before a wing captain could launch an attack on Zhang Baling, he was assassinated by the Zhina Army!

What made the division commander even more unhappy was that the Type 92 infantry guns of the 33rd Wing were also destroyed.

In this way, the 33rd Wing is equivalent to being knocked out by the enemy at the same time as its brains are also beaten by the enemy.

For the commander of the Ogisu Division, this is simply a great shame.

Tearing a telegram to shreds, the commander of the Ogizhou Libing Division roared: "Yaga! What the hell is going on? What does the military commander of the 33rd Wing eat? Overnight, he was asked for his head by the Zhi Na Army! ”

The chief of staff on the side responded: "Hai! Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think there are many reasons for the sneak attack by the Chinese Army! ”

With a look in his eyes, the commander of the Ogizhou Libing Division shouted in a deep voice: "You are talking about it?"

The chief of staff shouted in a deep voice: "Since the capture of Shanghai, our imperial army has been marching all the way and invincible, and the various units of the imperial army cannot help but be a little proud, and our 13th Division is naturally no exception!" Naturally, they will let their guard down for the next battle! ”

Nodding, the commander of the Ogizhou Standing Division shouted, "What else?"

The chief of staff continued: "On the other hand? The will to resist has not been completely destroyed, sporadic resistance occurs from time to time, and it is not surprising that the 33rd Wing suffered such a heavy blow last night! ”

The commander of the Ogizhou Libing Division sighed: "What the chief of staff said is reasonable! No matter how great the results we have achieved, the commander-in-chief who leads the troops must not be careless, and must tense every nerve! Pass me an order, from today onwards, I will strictly demand the military discipline of all wings, and every imperial officer must take every battle seriously! ”

After a slight pause, the chief of staff shouted: "But Your Excellency, the commander of the division, at present, the 33rd Wing has no leader, and an officer must be selected to lead the troops!"

The commander of the Ogisu Standing Division shouted: "I have also considered this problem!" Chief of Staff, what do you think?"

The chief of staff groaned and shouted: "Kawasaki Shaosa is a general, and he has gone to the Imperial Army University, it is better to transfer Kawasaki Shaosa from the division headquarters!"

Shaking his head slightly, the commander of the Ogizhou Libing Division shouted, "I don't think it's right!" The captain of the East Island Wing who died in battle is the son of the general, this kind of person can't lead the troops, it will only hurt me! ”

Slightly hesitating, the chief of staff shouted: "It's better to promote the former Captain Yamamoto of the 33rd Wing to the acting wing captain!"

The commander of the Ogishu Formation Division shouted, "What is the ability of this Captain Yamamoto?"

The chief of staff shouted: "This Captain Yamamoto came to the Fifth Division next door, but he has been crawling all the way, and it only took three months to climb from a small soldier to the captain of the group!"

With a look of surprise, the commander of the Ogizhou Libing Division shouted, "Is it really so powerful?"

The chief of staff shouted, "What is more powerful about this Captain Yamamoto?" In the first battle of Nanjing, Captain Yamamoto captured thousands of remnants with only two squads! If it weren't for Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu's love, this general would not have come to our 13th Division! ”

With a heavy bow, the commander of the Ogizhou Libing Division shouted: "This kind of talent must be reused, I must give this captain a chance to perform, signal soldier, and immediately send a promotion order to the 33rd Wing."

The communications soldier took out a small notebook and prepared to take notes.

The commander of the Ogishu Standing Division shouted: "Order! Captain Yamamoto, the commander of the 33rd Wing, served as the captain of the wing on the same day, and was fully responsible for the battle of the 33rd Wing against Zhang Baling! ”

After the recording was completed, the signal soldier walked to the telegraph machine to send a telegram.

Hearing the sound of the transmitter, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency the division commander, according to last night's battle report, there will be no heavy weapons on the Zhang Baling front!" We should transfer a batch of Type 92 infantry guns to the front line! ”

The commander of the Ogizhou Division shouted: "The chief of staff is right, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, okay!" I'll leave it to you! ”

Suddenly, the chief of staff shouted, "Hai!"

……

Zhang Baling Guijun Independent Regiment Headquarters Command Post.

The regiment commander, Wei Shengli, was studying the map.

Staring at the red and blue arrows on the map, Wei Shengli asked in a sullen voice: "Chief of Staff Zhou, the military headquarters ordered our independent regiment to hold it for three days, do you think we can hold it?"

With a slight groan, Chief of Staff Zhou shouted: "In terms of troops, weapons, we are not as good as the little devils on the other side, but in terms of the will to fight, our Gui army and the devil's bushido have to fight!" I'll be on guard for three days, no problem! ”

Suddenly turning around, Wei Shengli shouted: "The iron will is the magic weapon of our Gui army, even if we fight until there is only one soldier left, we can't let the devil cross Zhang Baling half a step in advance, we must buy time for the transfer of the people of Mingguang City!"

Chief of Staff Zhou shouted: "Tuanzuo is right, we will fight to the death to block the little devil for three days and three nights!"

At this time, a Gui soldier hurriedly ran in.

The soldiers of the Gui Army shouted: "Report to the regiment, reconnaissance platoon, the devils near Zhang Baling were attacked by a group of patriotic armed forces last night, the commander of the 33rd Wing, Higashijima Dazuo, was killed, and the devils' Type 92 infantry guns were all destroyed!"

Hearing this, Wei Shengli clapped his hands and said: "Well done!" Now the little devil's command center is paralyzed! ”

His face was also full of happiness, and Chief of Staff Zhou shouted: "Without the Type 92 infantry cannon, the devil is a tiger without sharp teeth!" The defensive pressure of our Zhang Baling has been reduced a lot! ”

After thinking for a while, Wei Shengli asked, "Do you know which part of the friendly forces were responsible for last night's operation?"

Shaking his head, the communications man shouted, "I don't know!"

With a hint of surprise on his face, Chief of Staff Zhou exclaimed, "This is strange! Our Huaihe Corps did not inform about this operation! Signal soldiers, hurry up and take a telegram to the military headquarters of the 31st Army to ask, who did this! ”

The signal soldier complied, and immediately went to send a telegram.

Wei Shengli shouted: "No matter which friendly army did it, I can only express my admiration, great, the devil must have suffered a big injury last night!" If all the Chinese troops have this kind of courage, the devils will not be able to stay in China for a day! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou shouted: "Yes, the so-called united city, all the people are soldiers, we have 40,000 compatriots, then there are 40,000 soldiers, and the devil still has a way to live?" Judging from the current situation, compared with Nanjing, the anti-Japanese fighting spirit in Huainan is not bad! Tuanza, I'm very confident in this battle! ”

In the Battle of Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi and other military commanders fled, the will of the soldiers under his command collapsed, and the 100,000 national troops laid down their arms and fled into the safety zone, which seriously affected the overall situation of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Chief of Staff Zhou, who witnessed this tragic scene, naturally felt deeply.

However, the inspiring action of Zhang Baling's friendly army attacking the 33rd Wing at night ignited the anger of the two patriotic soldiers of Wei and Zhou.

Wei Shengli shouted again: "But we can't take it lightly, we must be very prepared!" Although the commander of the devil has been killed, the middle and lower command system of the devil is very powerful, and it will still pose a threat to our position that cannot be underestimated! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "I completely agree!"
