The news that the Japanese army had sent a large number of reinforcements naturally could not be concealed from the intelligence system of the national army, and Wu Qiwei immediately felt the pressure from the Japanese army.

"Crazy...... Lose your marbles...... The Japanese were crazy, a brigade, a tank brigade and three infantry brigades, along with an artillery wing, came at me. ”

In the war room of the headquarters of the Ninth Group Army, several staff officers looked at several huge blue arrows on the map, all pointing to Wanjialing, and their faces were a little pale, and now Wanjialing is fighting fiercely, and the troops that can be drawn out to participate in the blockade are very limited, if the Japanese army is allowed to connect with the 106th Division, then this battle is very likely to end in failure.

As the commander of the Ninth Group Army, Wu Qiwei stood aside with his hands behind his back and frowned, and now he had not many troops at his disposal, and seeing so many Japanese troops rushing over like crazy, the pressure in his heart could be imagined.

A staff officer with a baby face looked at Wu Qiwei, who had a gloomy face, and asked cautiously, "Sir, do you want to send a report to Chief Xue and ask him to send us some more reinforcements?" ”

"There are no more reinforcements!" Wu Qiwei shook his head slowly: "Chief Xue has already given me all the troops he can transfer, so he has lowered his face and asked Chief Chen of the Ninth War Zone for help and troops, where are there any reinforcements now." Alas...... Now, even if I have one more regiment in my hand, it would be good to hold off the enemy for one more day and a half. ”

All the staff officers looked at each other, the battle had come to this reinforcement, but all the troops that could fight had already participated in the battle.

Suddenly, a timid voice sounded: "Sir, as far as I know, we still have a regiment that has not yet entered the battle, and they are stationed near us. ”

"What...... A regiment is stationed near us? The crowd was immediately stunned.

"It's impossible, how don't we know!" An older deputy chief of staff's face darkened, and immediately shouted, if this matter is true, then this joke will be a big one, as a deputy chief of staff. I don't even know that there is an extra regiment near me, what a serious dereliction of duty it must be.

"It's true!" Facing the suspicion of his companion, the young babyface turned red, and said, "This army has been here for several days, and I was reporting to you at the beginning, but you said a word to let him stay there and ignore it." ”

"What ......" At this moment, even Wu Qiwei's face turned black, if this thing is true, this deputy chief of staff is not just dereliction of duty. The fact that reinforcements arrived and he didn't report to him could have taken him to court-martial.

Speaking of this, one of the staff officers also said, "Oh...... I remember. It is true that such a unit is stationed less than 10 kilometers away from our headquarters, and this unit is a security regiment that has driven from Nanchang to support us. ”

"And this?" Hearing this, Wu Qiwei's face softened, if this is the case, it is understandable, a security regiment really can't attract their attention, no wonder the deputy chief of staff will put this matter aside. If I had changed myself, I'm afraid it would have been the same.

Seeing Wu Qiwei's softened face, the deputy chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he smile bitterly and said to Wu Qiwei: "Sir, it's all my fault for this, it's because I didn't do my job well." Punish me, and I will not complain. ”

Wu Qiwei waved his hand: "Now is not the time to talk about punishment, the most important thing now is to quickly call the head of this regiment, I will immediately assign him a task!" ”

Half an hour later. A voice rang out in the doorway.

"Report!"

At this moment, dozens of pairs of eyes, including several young female dispatchers who were sending and receiving newspapers in the war room, looked at one place in unison, and a young officer wearing a German military uniform and wearing the rank of colonel stood at the door in a standard military posture.

"Come in!"

Suri walked into the command room with the standard military steps. His eyes swept over, and the first thing he saw was Wu Qiwei standing in the center of the war room, of medium stature, wearing the rank of lieutenant general.

Su Jin saluted very dryly and said loudly: "Report to Chief Wu, Su Jin, the head of the Independent Security Regiment of Shigu County, Shandong Province, came to accept the task!" ”

Wu Qiwei carefully looked at Su Jin, who was standing in front of him in a standard military posture, and a look of appreciation and doubt flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help asking, "Are you sent by Chief Chen to reinforce us?" ”

Su Jin said very simply: "Report to the chief, to be exact, the department was sent by Chief Chen and Zhang Fakui to reinforce your troops to fight, and before the end of the Wanjialing Campaign, our department will completely obey your troops!" ”

"Oh!" Wu Qiwei nodded quietly, and then asked, "Head Su, can you briefly introduce the situation of your department?" ”

"Absolutely!" Su Jin said very simply: "Our unit has three infantry battalions and one supplementary battalion with a total of more than 3,100 combat troops, and the rest has a medical brigade and a baggage company and other logistics support units of more than 500 people, with a total of more than 3,500 people in the whole regiment. Other aspects we ......"

"Okay, you don't have to say it!" Wu Qiwei interrupted Su Jin's words, after hearing this, he thought that he already knew about it, in his opinion, since the independent regiment had more than 3,000 combat troops, it would be able to come in handy, at least it could be used to buy time.

He stared at Su Jin and said in a deep voice, "Captain Su, let's make a long story short. Now that the battle of Wanjialing has reached a critical juncture, the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Okamura Ninji, has also fought hard to get the 106th Division out, and yesterday he sent the 5th Tank Brigade has arrived near Xiaojinshan, in order to block this enemy force, the 66th Army must not divide a division from the already tense strength to block the enemy, and now the task of your unit is to immediately rush to Xiaojinshan to replace the 159th Division that is responsible for the blocking task, and you must ensure that the 5th Tank Brigade of the Japanese army will never reach Xiaojinshan. Otherwise, once he is allowed to cross Xiaojin Mountain and meet with the 106th Division, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Su Jin pondered for a while before asking, "I don't know how far the chief needs to go?" ”

Wu Qiwei thought for a while before saying, "Your unit has to resist the Japanese army for at least two days, can you do it?" ”

As soon as Wu Qiwei's words fell, Su Jin replied loudly without thinking: "No problem, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Looking at Su Jin's confident look, Wu Qiwei's brows furrowed, and he reminded again: "Commander Su, you must know that your opponent is the Fifth Tank Brigade of the Japanese Army, but they are equipped with a large number of tanks, and I am afraid that there are reinforcements from Japanese aircraft, it will be very difficult for your troops to resist for two days, you have to be prepared in your heart." ”

Wu Qiwei's worries are justified, the 159th Division was immediately disabled by a battalion in a battle with the Japanese Fifth Tank Brigade yesterday, and even the position was almost lost; if it weren't for the division commander Tan Di personally organizing a death squad to blow up several Japanese tanks with explosives on his back, I am afraid that the position would have been lost long ago, but even so, the losses of the 159th Division after today's battle were very heavy, and they had no choice but to ask Wu Qiwei for reinforcements. In Wu Qiwei's opinion, Su Jin's security regiment could withstand two days, and now after seeing Su Jin's expression of indifference after hearing the task, he couldn't help frowning and reminded.

Seeing Wu Qiwei's frowning brows, Su Jin knew what the other party was worried about, so he said with a straight face: "Please rest assured, sir, the department will do everything in its power to never let the Japanese army cross Xiaojin Mountain one step." ”

"I hope so!" Looking at Su Jin's young face, Wu Qiwei sighed secretly, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no troop transfer, he was unwilling to hand over such an important task to a local security force, if Su Jin's defense line collapsed, the 66th Army would suffer from the enemy, and if the 66th Army collapsed, it would also mean that the plan to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division would go bankrupt, then the efforts made these days would be in vain.

He waved his hand helplessly, "You go, set off immediately, and rush to Xiaojinshan to replace the 159th Division before five o'clock this afternoon." ”

"Yes!"

Su Jin saluted Wu Qiwei, and then strode out.

Looking at Su Jin's back as he went out, the deputy chief of staff, who had been silent, couldn't help but say worriedly: "Sir, can you hand over such an important task to a local militia group?" ”

Wu Qiwei took a deep breath, "If you can't do it, you have to do it, the battle has already been fought to this point, but I will not give up if there is the slightest hope." Since the young man said that his regiment had more than 3,000 people, even if he took his human life, he would be able to hold it up for a day or two. ”

The deputy chief of staff smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that I can't withstand two days with human lives." ”

Saying this, everyone fell silent......

Besides, after Su Jin said goodbye to Wu Qiwei, he immediately returned to the security regiment, summoned all the officers, and issued an order to open up, ordering the first battalion to be the vanguard, and the whole regiment immediately marched to Xiaojin Mountain.

For this battle, Su Jin is actually quite confident, not only because the number of troops has increased, but also because his energy points have also increased rapidly these days. After the upgrade of his weapon cashing shop last time, the range of his collection has also expanded to twenty kilometers, and his almost exhausted energy points have also increased rapidly in the past few days, just now his energy points have historically broken through the five-digit mark, which also makes Su Jin overjoyed. Due to the lack of energy points, the men and horses of the supplementary battalion have always used captured Japanese firearms, and now with so many energy points, he can almost replace all the weapons of the thousands of people in the supplementary battalion with German-style guns.

On September 27, Su Jin's security regiment was ordered to leave for Xiaojin Mountain, and at this time, neither of China nor Japan expected that a fierce battle would break out here that shocked both sides...... (To be continued......)
