Seeing Zhou Yusheng's thoughtful appearance, Su Jin was very calm, he knew a lot about the National Guard Corps of the United States in later generations.

Although this army is known as a militia organization, unlike the Chinese militia that has been emasculated and most people have never even touched the muzzle of a gun in their lives, this militia in the United States is quite formidable, and it not only has a complete structure, but also has a complete army, navy, and air force. Although it is not as sophisticated as the regular army in terms of equipment and training, the training that should be there is the same as that of the equipment people, and it can be quickly replenished into the regular army in wartime, and it can be used to kill the enemy on the battlefield without retraining, so don't look at the Yankees in later generations on the surface that the active force is only 1.4 million people, and most of the troops are stationed in 801 overseas bases around the world, and the number of troops guarding the homeland is only hundreds of thousands, but why don't people worry about the safety of the homeland, In the final analysis, it is because they have a large number of reserve militias that are not weak in combat effectiveness.

Zhou Yusheng thought carefully for more than ten minutes before he nodded slowly: "Junzao, your idea is a bit ridiculous at first glance, but it is quite feasible to think about it carefully. However, now we still have another problem, that is, if after the whole territory of Zhejiang is recovered, will we send so many officials to the local authorities to take up posts, after all, Zhejiang has 10 million or 20 million people, once we occupy Zhejiang, then so many people's food, drink, and Lasa will all be under our control, and only when a complete local political power is established, can the garrison plan you mentioned be realized. ”

Hearing this, Su Jin smiled: "Chi Yu thinks quite far, but you don't have to worry about this problem." Believe it or not. As long as we let out the wind and say to the Chongqing side that we will send a few officials to fill the vacancy, it will not take three days for us to have all the people. There is no shortage of even cleaners. ”

Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard it, he thought deeply of Su Jin's words, it is indeed as Su Jin said, everything may be lacking in Huaxia, but there will never be a shortage of people who want to be officials.

Looking at Zhou Yusheng's dumb smile, Su Jin instructed, "You remember." Those who are in charge of the officials are naturally arranged by the Chongqing side, but this garrison must be firmly controlled by us. ”

Zhou Yusheng nodded yes: "This is nature!" ”

The two discussed it again and then decided on this matter, and then Zhou Yusheng gave orders to Zhang Danian in Yongkang and Li Wei in Jinhua in the name of the military department. Let them hurry up and defeat or annihilate the enemy in front of them, so that they don't have too many dreams at night.

And the battle came to this point, which was also greatly unexpected by Tanaka Kuichi, and he couldn't believe his eyes when he received the telegram from the 104th Division and the 23rd Mixed Brigade.

Nani ...... The people of China still had the strength to divide their troops to block the attack. What do Kitada Minami and Kizaburo Hamamoto do to eat. The strength of one division and one mixed brigade was actually stopped by the Chinese people. Kitada Minami's artillery wing was bombed by the Shina plane, not to mention, Hamamoto Kizaburo was even more incompetent, and was defeated and retreated by the Shina people, I am really strange, such a waste can be the commander of the division of the empire, are the old men in the base camp blind? ”

The chief of staff on the side, Takashi Murata, looked at the angry Tanaka Kuichi and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, he wanted to say that it was not that Kizaburo Hamamoto, the commander of the division, was incompetent. It's that Su Jin's troops are too violent, just yesterday. Dozens of planes departing from the aircraft carrier Chicheng were beaten by the flight group of the 202nd Army, and in the end, more than 50 planes only escaped back to more than 20 planes, and the captain of the Chicheng, Teraoka Jinhei, was so angry that he jumped to his feet and even sent a telegram directly to Tanaka Kuichi wanting to go back to Japan directly and ignore this mess.

Since the Japanese started a full-scale war with China, Tanaka Kuichi led the Japanese army to fight against the Chinese army, which time did not use his firepower superiority and soldier quality superiority to beat the national * army, but this time after encountering Su Jin's troops, this original tried and tested method did not work. Not only is it ineffective, but the object of the hanging and beating has become himself, and the rapid change of roles makes Tanaka Kuichi a little uncomfortable for a while.

Tanaka Jiuichi was angry for a while, and then he adjusted his mood, and he said to Murata Takashi in a deep voice: "You immediately send a report to Beitian Nan and tell him that he must take Huanghualing, and then make peace with the 103rd Division and the 82nd Brigade, otherwise, ...... Otherwise, it will be too late. ”

Takashi Murata hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of His Excellency Kitada Minami, the people of China not only occupy the geographical advantage here, but also their light weapons firepower is also very fierce, although they cannot transport artillery to Huanghualing due to the limited terrain, but they can call in aircraft support. Although His Excellency Beitian Nan has the advantage of troops, since the artillery wing was heavily damaged, they have attacked many times in a row, and they have lost more than 1,000 people and still failed to take Huanghualing, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to take Huanghualing with the ability of the 23rd mixed brigade alone, do we want to give them a little support. ”

"Support? One of their brigades can't even take down the position of the regiment handle, and he still has the face to support? "When it comes to supporting Tanaka Kuichi, you don't get angry, but your army that went to reinforce now needs reinforcements, is there any mistake.

A cold voice came out of his mouth: "You tell Kitada Nan that there are no reinforcements." I'll give him another forty-eight hours, and if he hasn't been able to take Huanghualing, let him cut his stomach! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Murata Takashi was immediately anxious when he heard that Tanaka Kuichi had said such a decisive word, and he didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, so he hurriedly said: "Don't forget, Kita Tiannan was only seconded to our 23rd Army by the 11th Army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give such an order, right?" ”

"Hmm......" As soon as he heard this, Tanaka Jiuichi came to his senses, the 23rd mixed brigade is a unit belonging to the 11th Army, and it is just a matter of borrowing it from others, and it is necessary to strangle the family's seppuku, which is a bit excessive, if he really wants to anger Kitada Nan, he will be dumbfounded when he pats his ass and returns to Wuhan, thinking of this, Tanaka Jiuichi is as disgusting as if he swallowed two rats in a row.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said with some reluctance: "Okay, you immediately send a report to Matsuda Shoji Daisa of the Sixth Wing of the Chariot Wing." Let him rush to Huanghualing before fifteen o'clock this afternoon, and obey the command of Beitiannan, as such, he can't take Huanghualing this time, I see if he has anything to say! ”

"Hay. Your Excellency the Commander is wise! "Takao Murata was overjoyed, the 6th Tank Wing was the only armored force in Tanaka's possession, and it was also his killer weapon, this wing was equipped with more than 80 tanks, including Type 95 light tanks and Type 89 heavy tanks. Due to the dense water network in Zhejiang, it is not suitable for the movement of chariot troops, so this unit is deployed in Guangdong most of the time, and this time in order to relieve the siege of Jinhua City, Tanaka Jiuichi was willing to transfer him. It can be seen that Kuichi Tanaka is also really anxious.

More than 1,000 meters in front of the Huanghualing formation, Beitian Nanzheng was looking at the Japanese soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties in front of the Huanghualing position, and his brows were tightly locked, and the battle had been fought for two days. The mixed 23rd Brigade found nothing but more than 2,000 corpses in front of Huanghualing.

The two wings of the 156th Wing and the 157th Wing, who were standing in front of Kita Tiannan, looked at Kita Tiannan's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, Your Excellency the Commander has promised to send reinforcements!" Just when Kitada Nan felt that his patience had reached the limit, a staff officer hurriedly ran towards him, waving a telegram in his hand.

"Reinforcements?" Kitada Nan was stunned for a moment. Now most of Zhejiang's troops have been invested in the whirlpool of Jinhua. Even his own seconded unit was sent to the battlefield, where did Kuichi Tanaka go to find reinforcements for himself?

"Yes, reinforcements." The staff officer was afraid that Kita Tiannan would not believe him, so he specially strengthened his tone: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, this time Commander Tanaka has made up his mind, and he has assigned the Sixth Wing of the Tank to us. ”

"Sixth Tank Wing?" Kitada Nan was taken aback, this army was Tanaka Kuichi's heart, and it had always been stationed in Guangdong. Why are you willing to send reinforcements to him today?

Seeing the puzzled gaze of the commander of his brigade, the staff officer explained: "His Excellency Commander Tanaka also said it in the telegram. It is necessary to take Huanghualing before noon tomorrow, otherwise he will have to send a supervision team to the mixed brigade. ”

"Overseer?" Kitada Nan was puzzled for a moment, and then became furious, the Japanese army that believes in the spirit of bushido has never been in the habit of sending a supervising team, and once a supervising team is dispatched, it means that the commander in the rear has expressed serious distrust of the generals in front, once the 23rd mixed brigade is really forced to charge by the supervising team with bayonets and machine guns, even if it can successfully take Huanghualing, it is a stain that Beitian Nan will not be able to wash away for the rest of his life.

Different from the frightened and angry look on Kita Tiannan's face, the captain of the 156th Wing, Okuyama Kazeta, took two steps forward and bowed: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this is a great joy, with the reinforcements of the Chariot Wing, I believe we will definitely be able to take Huanghualing before tomorrow!" ”

"Take Huanghualing, under the supervision of the Warlord?" Kitada Nan sneered, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Nagasaka-kun, did our reinforcements and the overseer team arrive together?" ”

"It's not!" The staff officer shook his head: "The 6th Tank Wing will arrive before 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the Overseer will arrive at noon tomorrow." ”

"It seems that Your Excellency the Commander has saved us face." The wind on the side of Okuyama was too strong, and Zuo nodded thoughtfully. This kind of thing is very hateful, and Tanaka Kuichi didn't want to offend the twenty-three mixed brigades to death, so he gave them this time difference. In other words, if the 23rd mixed brigade can take Huanghualing before noon tomorrow, it will naturally be all good to say, if the time still can't take Huanghualing, then don't blame Tanaka Kuichi for doing business.

The sun began to set in the west, the autumn wind of October slowly blew across the earth, and a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke also wafted at the same time, provoking Yi Hang, who was lying in the trench and looking out, couldn't help but sneeze several times.

"Platoon commander, the sun is going down, we can rest for a good night, today can be regarded as exhausting me." Mo Xiaosong's voice sounded next to him.

Xiang Yihang turned his head, and saw Mo Xiaosong's smiling face blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this nineteen-year-old young man who had been in the army for less than a year has matured rapidly in the past few days, from panicking when he heard the artillery fire to the shells flying next to him, he can also be at ease while eating compressed biscuits and throwing grenades outside the position, this is war, it can make a young man grow into a senseless warrior in the shortest possible time.

Xiang Yihang untied the kettle from his waist, took a sip of water, and asked casually, "Mo Xiaosong." How many people are in your class? ”

"Platoon commander, don't worry, in addition to the three people who were injured and carried down, there are six people in our squad. The machine gun is also still intact, and the little devils can't come up! After speaking, Mo Xiaosong grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Well done!" Xiang Yihang patted Mo Xiaosong on the shoulder, the position of the third company was originally located at the front of the entire Huanghualing position, and the position of the three platoons and one squad was the front line of the front line, which was naturally the first target for the Japanese to attack. In the past two days, their surface positions have long been leveled by Japanese artillery fire, and they are carrying floating soil with them whenever they grab them. And it is a miracle that a class can still hold its ground under such circumstances.

Mo Xiaosong asked Xiang Yihang: "Platoon commander, it's getting dark this day, and the devil has retreated." Let's take a retreat and have a good rest. ”

The battle of Huanghualing lasted for two days. The second platoon also held out here for two days, originally a platoon of forty-four people

Now there are only about twenty people left, and it stands to reason that it is time to rotate, after all, the fighters are not iron-clad. Xiang Yihang looked behind him and said casually: "I don't know about this, it stands to reason that if we want to rotate, it should be the people of the third battalion to replace us, and it is estimated that they will come over after dark." ”

Xiang Yihang said as he took out a pack of compressed biscuits from the bag on his waist, took out a piece and handed it to Mo Xiaosong.

Mo Xiaosong took the compressed biscuit. His brows and nose furrowed into a ball of disgust, and he said: "I've eaten cookies for three days, when can I change the taste." It would be nice to have a bowl of pimple soup to drink. ”

Xiang Yihang rolled his eyes: "Dream, unless you can make peace with the big army, you don't think about it." ”

There is only one small road from Jinhua to Huanghualing, and this path can only barely pass through people, as for vehicles, don't think about it, so in addition to ammunition, the whole regiment of the 561st regiment can only carry high-calorie, small-size, and easy-to-carry compressed biscuits in terms of food.

The two of them ate the biscuits with cold water and a mouthful of biscuits, and when the two of them finished eating the compressed biscuits in their hands, the sky was already dark, and all positions on the battlefield had stopped exchanging fire except for a few occasional gunshots from the Japanese positions.

After dinner, in addition to the soldiers on the battlefield, the soldiers who had worked all day began to fall asleep in the tunnels or anti-artillery holes.

Time passed little by little, when the soldiers who had been tired for a day were sleeping soundly, Xiang Yihang, who had only slept for three or four hours, woke up from his sleep, he raised his wrist and looked at the time, the time was 3:43 in the morning, it stands to reason that this should be the time when a person sleeps the deepest, but Xiang Yihang always felt that there was an uneasy mood in his heart.

He really couldn't sleep, he got out of the tunnel and came into the tunnel, and after saying hello to the guards who were on the side, he lay behind the newly dug breastwork and looked at the Japanese soldiers in the distance, the Japanese army's position was pitch black, and there was no movement at all. It stands to reason that this situation is normal, after all, the Japanese have also fought for a day, and they also need to rest, but Xiang Yihang's uneasy feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Looking at the pitch-black Japanese position in front of him, Xiang Yihang had to secretly laugh at his suspicion. He squatted down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, lit it with a match and took a deep breath, a unique nicotine fragrance entered his lungs, and the spicy and fragrant taste made him feel refreshed.

When he exhaled the smoke from his lungs, there was a sudden rapid and sharp whistling sound in the air, and Xiang Yihang, who was an old bird, immediately heard that it was the sound of a mortar gliding in the air.

"Lie down!" He shouted at the guards next to him, and then the whole person fell into the fortifications.

"Boom ......"

A shell then exploded on the edge of the trench.

The loud explosion woke up everyone on the battlefield, and when the soldiers drilled out of the tunnel, the people at the mouth of the tunnel shouted loudly to Yihang.

"Don't come out, everybody, go back...... The devil is going to fight! ”

As soon as his words fell, there was another terrible whistling sound in the sky, and soon bursts of shells fell on Huanghualing, and the position of the third company was soon covered by a cloud of flames.

Didn't the devil's artillery position be bombed by the flying group today, why did it pop up again, this was Xiang Yihang's thought before he ran into the tunnel......

The Japanese artillery bombardment continued for another 20 minutes before it stopped, and when the Japanese artillery fire stopped, flares also flew from the rear of Huanghualing, illuminating the entire front of the position.

"The Japanese are going to attack, all hurry up and get into position!" Soon a sharp whistle sounded on the position, the soldiers who were originally hiding in the tunnel drilled out of the tunnel and entered the position, when they set up their weapons and looked into the distance, everything that happened in front of them made everyone stunned, only to see that under the illumination of the flares, a Japanese tank began to appear in front of the position, and behind these tanks was a Japanese soldier with a gun and bending over.

"Hit ......"

With a loud shout, hot tongues of fire began to pour out from the battlefield...... (To be continued.) )
