Chapter 44 Two dozen Shigu County

In early July 1938, when the Battle of Wuhan was raging, the exhibition across Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other four provinces was carried out for a month, China and Japan were already in full swing, and the strength of the Japanese army was also very tense, on 11 July, the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters ordered the 106th Division to also go to Wuhan to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the city defense in the areas of Kuan County, Qianmo County, Water Chestnut County, and Shigu County was taken care of by the independent garrison brigade, and soon a telegram was also sent to Chu Ziying's hands.

In the regiment headquarters, Chu Ziying handed a telegram to Cheng Shandao: "Deputy Regiment Commander Cheng, the column headquarters has issued an order, let our regiment launch a counteroffensive in the near future when the Japanese army is empty, it is best to recover a few county towns, so as to effectively support the battle of Wuhan, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Tuanzao, this is a good opportunity, the Japanese forces in this area have been hollowed out, let's just take the opportunity to recover a few county seats, so that our 276th Regiment will be famous!" Cheng Shan looked at the telegram in his hand and said excitedly to Chu Ziying.

"Then which county do you think we should fight?" Chu Ziying asked quietly.

"Shigu County!" Cheng Shan said without thinking.

"Why?"

"The reason is simple, Shigu County is the closest to us. According to the investigation, there is only one garrison squadron in Shigu County today, but there are only more than 200 people, this time we can concentrate two battalions of troops to launch an attack on Shigu County, I believe that we will be able to conquer Shigu County in one fell swoop! If you can make a big contribution to this counteroffensive, you may be able to move your seat up as well! ”

Chu Ziying thought about it and looked a little hesitant: "Even if the Japanese army is empty, but they are defending the city, if we attack strongly, the casualties will ......."

Cheng Shan naturally understood what Chu Ziying meant, the 276th Regiment did not belong to the Central Army system, but a ragtag army series, for the officers of these miscellaneous armies, the army was their everything, and promotion was important, but if you hurt yourself, it would be worth the loss.

After groaning for a while, Cheng Shan said: "Tuanzao, the department has an idea, no one is more familiar with Shigu County than Su Jin, why don't you let them take the lead this time?" ”

"This ......" Chu Ziying hesitated for a long time and nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

………………

"Let's take the lead and regain Shigu County?"

"These officials are clearly letting us die!"

"No, we're not going!"

In the courtyard where Su Jin was, several leaders of the First Brigade of the Shigu County People's League had arrived, and many people immediately shouted after hearing this order.

"What a noise."

Hearing that, Su Jin was a little impatient, and waited for Li Wei and Zhang Danian, who were shouting the most, and said, "Now you know what it's like to owe favors, right?" I really don't think I need to pay it back, let me tell you, this time people made it clear that they wanted us to return the favor, what are you going to do? ”

Li Wei and Zhang Danian looked at each other silently, and after a long time, Huang Weiguo said: "Su Da...... Uh, no, sir. Is it that after we return this favor, the surname Chu can't use this to pinch us? ”

"It's nature." Su Jin said indifferently: "Chu Ziying is also in a hurry this time, otherwise he wouldn't have asked us to return this favor so quickly, naturally...... When we help him this time, we won't owe him anything in the future. ”

Li Wei hurriedly said: "But ......"

"Nothing." Su Jin interrupted him: "As long as the Shigu County is defeated, we don't owe him anything Chu Ziying, and we are now an upright Shigu County militia, it is our duty to protect the family and the land, and it is also what we should do to restore Shigu County." Now I command......"

Speaking of this, Huang Weiguo, Li Wei and Zhang Danian glanced at each other and stood up helplessly.

Su Jin said solemnly: "Tomorrow, everyone will check the ammunition and equipment, and the day after tomorrow we will set off with the large army!" ”

"Yes!"

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Xiuniang and Xiaoyu were left behind by Su Jin, and Su Jin said to Zhang Xiuniang: "Xiuniang, don't go to you and Xiaoyu this time, just wait here for me to come back." ”

Zhang Xiuniang frowned slightly when she heard that she didn't speak, and Xiaoyu on the side shouted: "Why, why can't Miss and I go?" You look down on people less! ”

"It's too dangerous this time." Su Jin shook his head, "This time it's not like last time, last time it was a sneak attack, this time it's a strong attack, it's too dangerous." ”

"You ......" The little girl was anxious, turned around and took Zhang Xiuniang's hand and said hurriedly: "Miss, look at him...... When he became the captain of a brigade, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and you didn't care about him! ”

Zhang Xiuniang's expression was very indifferent, she said to Su Jin in a faint tone: "I don't care what you say, this time I am going to decide, if you have the ability, you can lock me up." ”

"You ......"

Su Jin was a little speechless, his original intention of not letting Zhang Xiuniang and the two go was for their good, but the reaction of these two people was too strong, as for it.

"That's it, if you have the ability, you dare to touch Miss to try it and see how she cleans you up." Xiaoyu, this girl, is also on the side.

Facing two unreasonable women, Su Jin admitted that he had lost, and said helplessly: "Gotta ...... I'm afraid of you, so I'll go, but you have to promise me that you must follow me on the battlefield and not run around, understand? ”

"Got it, you're annoying." It was Xiaoyu's eyes that answered him.

On 11 July, Chu Ziying personally led two battalions of the 276th Regiment and a large brigade of the militia to which Su Jin belonged, with a total of more than 1,600 troops, set off towards Shigu County, and the militia to which Su Jin belonged was at the forefront as the vanguard.

On the 12th, Su Jin led the team to the outskirts of Shigu County.

Such a mighty force headed towards Shigu County, as long as the Japanese troops defending the city were not idiots, they were naturally prepared, and at a distance of one kilometer from the outskirts of the county, Su Jin put down the binoculars in his hand and his face was a little dignified.

"How's that...... Su Da ...... Captain, what do you see? Li Wei, who didn't have a telescope on the side, was a little anxious, and wanted to borrow Su Jin's telescope to come over but didn't dare to speak, so he could only look at the somewhat hazy city in the distance with his naked eyes, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Su Jin didn't see Li Wei's monkey urgency, but this Zeiss telescope was just cashed out after he spent fifty energy points, and the treasure was so tight that he was reluctant to lend it to others, so he ignored Li Wei's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks.
