On May 8, 1940, it always rained in Fujian, which was in the spring rainy season, and the heavy rain from morning to night made it rain non-stop every day in Fujian from morning to night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

These soldiers walking on the highway are all men and horses of the 350th Division of the Third Group Army, after Sarozawa Shoshin and the 90th Brigade were surrounded and annihilated, the 91st Brigade stationed in Zhouning was finally wiped out after holding out for two days, and the 350th Division finally achieved the record of annihilating the 129th Division after paying less than 2,000 casualties, this record is very timely for Sun Liren and 350, because it means that the 350th Division has finally gotten rid of the identity of rookies, and can finally hold their heads high and tell everyone that they are also a force that can fight!

However, Sun Liren is not a person who is accustomed to lying on the merit book and eating the old book, after the annihilation of the 129th Division, he left a regiment to garrison Zhouning, and he personally led two infantry regiments, an armored regiment and artillery regiment and other troops to the west, his goal is to occupy Wuyi Mountain, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army did not reflect to completely cut off the retreat of the Japanese army's 8th Independent Infantry Brigade stationed in Pucheng, as long as the 8th Independent Infantry Brigade is eaten again, the entire northern part of Fujian will be their world.

A Willis jeep painted with a red triangle star on the body stopped on the side of the road, the door opened, Sun Liren stepped out of the jeep, and the adjutant sitting in the passenger cab also quickly followed, holding up an umbrella for him.

Looking at the mountains shrouded in smoke and rain and the winding paths, Sun Liren pointed ahead and asked Huang Jianguo, the chief of staff who had just gotten out of the car, "Jianguo, what is the place ahead?" ”

He took out a waterproof map from his purse and looked at it before he replied: "Shizuo, we have arrived in Zhenghe County, and we are less than seventy or eighty kilometers away from Wuyi Mountain." ”

"What is that place?" Sun Liren pointed to a strangely shaped mountain peak not far away and asked curiously.

Huang Jianguo looked at the direction Sun Liren pointed and said with some embarrassment: "This ...... The department is also not very clear. ”

Sun Liren looked around again and smiled: "Forget it, let's go!" ”

With that, he was about to turn around and get into the car, when the rain in the sky suddenly stopped without warning, and the subtropical and tropical rain always did this, coming and going fast, like a child's face, and the soldiers walking on the road also looked at the sky curiously.

This raid on Wuyi Mountain was not a task assigned to the 350th Division by the headquarters, but was requested by Sun Liren on his own initiative. Although the 350th Division captured Zhou Ning very smoothly, but the 351st Division led by Huang Baitao did not progress so smoothly, the 8th Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Pucheng relied on the dangerous and strong terrain to resist stubbornly, and the situation could not be overcome within at least a week, and Jincun Jun is not good at stubble, he has sent the 150th Division to Pucheng to reinforce, if once the 150th Division and the 8th Brigade will make peace, then Huang Baitao's situation will be dangerous, just because of this, Sun Liren took the initiative to ask to take Wuyi Mountain to block the way of the 150th Division, and Su Jin agreed to Sun Liren's proposal almost without thinking, not only that, but he also expressed his appreciation for Sun Liren's subjective initiative.

It is not that no one has any objections to Su Jin's appreciation of Sun Liren so much, and he put Sun in the high position of the commander of the first division from the beginning, but Su Jin's attitude towards this is very resolute, and he handed over the two newly formed infantry divisions to them at the beginning. Needless to say, Huang Baitao does not have any bad habits, he is law-abiding, and always diligent, which is in stark contrast to the drunken generals of the national army around him, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a model of a professional soldier if measured by the standards of a soldier, so Su Jin is very relieved to use him.

And Sun Liren is a little different, this soldier born in Shucheng, Anhui Province has a very prominent background. His old man was not a little stronger than the later generations of "Li Gang", this old man was the "champion" of the imperial examination in Anhui Province - Xie Yuan, who had served as the director of the tobacco monopoly bureau of the five provinces of the prefect and Daotai (president of the Shandong Trial Court), and the vice president of Zhonghua University in Beiping. His grandfather was a famous Hui merchant, and the record in the history books is very simple - extremely rich!

As mentioned above, Su Jin can be sure that Sun Liren belongs to the second generation of typical officials and the second generation of wealth, and he is positioned as a big bureaucrat, a big comprador, and the cub of a big landlord in later generations. As can be seen from his background, his family is very orthodox. His uncle and father are all people who are good at learning, and they are all full of people, and the three views are the kings, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers and sons, people like benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, righteousness, and shame, all of them are loyal fans of Confucius Sage, such people will be more loyal to their bosses, otherwise there are more people who can fight so many generals, why did Su Jin dig the corner between him and Huang Baitao alone, isn't it because of the character problems of these two people.

White clouds floated in the sky after the rain, forming fluffy and gentle waves like cotton in the mountains in the distance. The soldiers of the 350th Infantry Division took off their raincoats one after another, and immediately felt a little fragrant mountain air, although the soldiers stepped on the muddy mud, but the morale of everyone was still very high, and many people were laughing loudly.

"Look, brothers, look...... Are these the girls in the neighborhood?"

A few soldiers on a truck suddenly shouted loudly, about seventeen or eighteen women came out of a path in the mountains, they were wearing blue shirts, trousers were red and black, their hair was combed like the sails of a ship, a wavy hairpin on the left and right, they each carried a burden on their shoulders, and in it were some dried fish and other seafood, and when they saw the soldiers on the road, they not only did not panic, but also smiled at the military vehicle and the soldiers on the road, and this smile was like a glass of wine that drunk the hearts of the soldiers.

"Eh, these women are so beautiful, when I retire, I must come here to marry one and go home to be a daughter-in-law."

"What do you kid know, these are all Meizhou women, I heard that they are all begging for a living at sea, and they generally don't intermarry with outsiders."

"What are you afraid of, as long as there is a big ocean, I don't believe that I can't marry a daughter-in-law!"

"That's it, look at how slender those women are! And the plate is positive enough, and it really lives up to its reputation! ”

The soldiers looked at the Meizhou women walking by them and talked about it, for these young, hormone-secreting soldiers, there was nothing more suitable than women to fight the topic of the boring marching process.

Hearing the topics that these soldiers talked about, Sun Liren just smiled slightly, he was still very open to this aspect after receiving Western education, and did not prohibit the soldiers from missing and loving the opposite sex. Moreover, relatively speaking, the soldiers of the Third Army are much stronger than other units of the National Army in terms of equipment and salary, and even if they are a private, they have a salary of the ocean a month. Half a year later, the salary of a month when he becomes a private-class soldier will rise to two oceans, and the army is a place to eat and live, so soldiers who have money begin to think about saving money, and wait until they retire to marry a daughter-in-law or build a house with the money they have saved over the years, which is very normal in Sun Liren's view.

Just as Sun Liren got into the jeep and continued to advance towards Wuyi Mountain, in the headquarters of the 23rd Army in the center of Guangzhou City, thousands of miles away from him, the newly appointed commander Imamura Jun was standing by the wall of the battle hall, looking at the huge 100,000-to-1 military map in a daze.

The sudden advance of the Third Army to Fujian not only surprised him, but also disrupted his battle plan. Originally, Nishio Shouzo gave him an order to prepare and wait until the Third Army left and went to France to reoccupy the entire territory of Zhejiang and cut off the Chongqing government's external access.

However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and before they could start to act, the Third Army launched a surprise attack on them, and the sudden destruction of the 129th Division gave him a blow in the face. For the first time, he directly felt the tremendous pressure brought to him by the beast of the Third Army.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and a staff officer walked up behind him and reported: "Your Excellency Commander, the air reconnaissance report of the Sixth Flying Division, an hour ago they found traces of the Zhina army in Zhenghe County, and this army is heading towards Wuyi Mountain. ”

"Nani?"

Imamura Jun was immediately startled, and hurriedly stood in front of the area to find the location of Masakawa Prefecture.

"Your Excellency Commander, Zhenghe County is here." The staff officer hurriedly stepped forward and pointed out the position for him.

"Not good!" Imamura Junichi was immediately taken aback when he saw the location marked on the map, and quickly asked, "Where is the 150th Division now?" ”

The staff officer hurriedly replied: "The 150th Division is still in the Shuiji area and is rushing to Wuyi Mountain!" ”

Imamura Jun ordered loudly: "You immediately order the 150th Division to speed up, and you must arrive before the people of China occupy Wuyi Mountain, otherwise the Eighth Brigade will be finished!" ”

"Hay!" The staff officer obviously knew the seriousness of the matter, and after answering the call, he hurried out to give the order.

After the staff officer left, Imamura Jun walked back and forth for a while, and he was still a little worried about whether the 150th Division could reach Wuyi Mountain before the arrival of the Chinese army. After thinking about it, he called the staff officer again, and ordered: "You order the 151st Division again, and order them to immediately counterattack Zhou Ning, remember that the offensive should be fierce, and be sure to make the people feel the pressure." Also, you order the 6th Flying Division to take off immediately and bomb the marching Chinese army, be sure to slow down their pace. ”

Imamura issued several orders in succession, with only one purpose, that is, to try to save the 8th Brigade, which was struggling to support itself. (To be continued.) )
