The day after the 139th Division and Sun Yumin joined hands to recapture Gao'an.

The main force of the 106th Division led by Ryotaro Nakai began to march towards Shusui.

Before leaving, he had a telephone conversation with Ito Masaki, commander of the 101st Division, and the two talked about the defeat of Wanjialing last year.

Although the 106th Division is an ad hoc division, it is not a soft persimmon, and the fiasco of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura almost lost most of the 106th Division in the Wanjialing area, and at the same time firmly nailed the 106th Division to the pillar of shame in history.

Although this fiasco occurred before Nakai took over as the commander of the division, this did not prevent him from also treating Xue Yue, the initiator of the Battle of Wanjialing, and the 74th Army, the main force of the national army in that battle, as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.

Although the launch of the Northern Jiangxi Campaign this time was only to contain the sight of the main force of the Ninth Theater, it also did not prevent Nakai from seeing this battle as an opportunity to be ashamed.

When the 106th Division was surrounded by a total of more than 100,000 troops from the seven armies of the Nationalist Army in the De'an and Lushan areas, the 101st Division was ordered to force a boat across Poyang Lake and land at Xingzi Town on the right side of the 106th Division, attacking the main force of the Chinese army from the flank and rear, and trying to lift the siege of the 106th Division with all its might.

Although the 101st Division had successfully landed in Xingzi Town, Xue Yue had already expected that the opponent would come here.

As soon as the 101st Wing of the 101st Division landed, it was met with the fierce resistance of the 25th Army of Wang Jingjiu, a fierce general of the National Army. With the reinforcement of tens of thousands of troops from the 29th Army and the 60th Army of the National Army transferred by Xue Yue, Wang Jingjiu ordered a counterattack on all fronts, and in this battle completely annihilated the 101st Wing and killed the Wing Commander Iizuka Kunigoro Osa, and even Ito Masakai himself was seriously wounded in the leg and was sent back to Jiujiang overnight.

Compared with Ryotaro Nakai, Masaki Ito hated Xue Yue more and was more eager to eliminate Xue Yue's troops.

As far as the permanent divisions are concerned, the combat effectiveness of these two ad hoc divisions is somewhat inferior, but it does not mean that they will be slaughtered by others, at least most of the national army units are not their opponents. Because they were all composed of veterans of permanent divisions, they were better than the national army troops, which were mostly composed of peasants who washed their feet in the fields. Take the 106th Division as an example, it is composed of retired soldiers of the 6th Division, one of the most combat-effective divisions in the Japanese army. In fact, it is equivalent to the second Kumamoto Division, but the weaponry and strength cannot be compared with the Sixth Division. After being disabled in the Battle of Wuhan, the 106th Division regained its combat effectiveness in less than a year.

Nakai Taro was very vigilant, so that the two brigades belonging to the 106th Division had been in parallel with each other, and asked the 101st Brigade of Ito Masaki's 102nd Division to act as his rearguard, but unexpectedly, Gao'an Castle still let the national army break through.

At this time, considering that the containment task had been completed and Gao'an had become dispensable, after obtaining the consent of Okamura Ninji, Nakai Ryotaro did not let the 101st Division assigned to him to fight attack Gao'an Castle again, but only ordered the 102nd Brigade to arrange a defensive line behind the 106th Division to cover the 106th Division's attack on the base of the 30th Army of the National Army around Xiushui.

…………

After Sun Yumin captured Gao'an, he knew that the Japanese army would not fight back, so he would rest assured and boldly fall asleep.

Since Luo Zhuoying did not arrange a task for herself, she just let the troops who fought hard have a good rest.

Li Zhaoying can be regarded as having seen Sun Yumin's heroism and the strength of his troops, and it is not easy to attack the city, although he doesn't know what method Sun Yumin used and how many troops he used, anyway, Gao'an City was easily taken, you know, when he received the order to attack the city, he was ready to kill and wound two regiments, and now except for the 422nd Regiment when it attacked the north bank of the Jinjiang River, it suffered a lot of casualties, and the casualties of the 433rd and 437th regiments were negligible, and his 139th Division could be said to be uninjured.

It is precisely because of this that when he received the order to change the guard, the 139th Division was about to continue to attack with the 32nd Army, he also found that Sun Yumin's troops were not mentioned in the order, which was undoubtedly not a good signal to him, if he could pull this new force up and advance and retreat with his 139th Division, then whether it was a tough battle or a defensive battle, he would have a great chance of winning.

Sun Yumin didn't have so much thought, and he didn't think about what kind of calculations the brightly dressed commander of the 139th Division next to him would have, he stretched his waist and said to the gang linzi on the side: "Where's my breakfast?" ”

"Commander, everyone is tired today, the troops are treating the wounded, counting the captures, and there is no time to make breakfast, why don't you bear with it?"

Ganglenzi was trained by the two women of Little Girl and Chen Lai, and now he is not afraid of Sun Yumin at all, not like his guards, but like they are placed by his side, like this, Xiao Shanzi will not dare to say, he will only try to find a way to eat.

Li Zhaoying was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect a soldier to dare to speak like this to Sun Yumin, who was the commander, and then immediately shouted to his adjutant outside the house: "Go and get some canned food over there, Commander Sun, they haven't eaten yet." ”

"No, no." Sun Yumin blushed a little, and Ganglenzi gave him a "long face".

"Commander Sun, your department did me a great favor to the 139th Division last night, what is a breakfast. As long as you can continue to assist our department, and ask for it casually, even if Li is willing to cut his body, he will try his best to meet it. ”

Li Zhaoying's abacus is crackling, a few boxes of canned food for breakfast, just want to exchange for a crack soldier to help, this is undoubtedly a pipe dream, he himself did not have much hope, but he was reluctant to give up, so he put forward this request through Sun Yumin's words.

After hearing his words, a cold light suddenly appeared in Sun Yumin's eyes, and the smile on the scar's face immediately disappeared, replaced by extreme indifference.

Such a change made Li Zhaoying feel shocked, and then a sense of loss came up, although he said: "If Commander Sun thinks it's inappropriate, then assume that Li didn't say this." But the look of disappointment on his face was undisguised.

After he said this, he looked at Sun Yumin's indifferent face, and wanted to say something several times, but he never said it, until his adjutant took two soldiers and put a can on the table, Li Zhaoying finally said: "Commander Sun, Gao An's kindness in helping the war, the 139th Division is grateful, and in the future, if your unit is useful, please do not hesitate to say that the 139th Division will do its best to help." ”

After he said this, he turned around and walked out, but he didn't expect Sun Yumin's voice to come from behind him: "Senior Master Li, wait." ”

Hearing this voice, Li Zhaoying seemed to have won the jackpot, his excitement was overflowing, he hurriedly turned around again, and there was obvious excitement in his voice: "What advice does Commander Sun have?" ”

"I can lead the troops to advance and retreat with the 139th Division, but there are a few requirements, I hope you can do it." When Sun Yumin said this, his brows furrowed slightly, according to his thoughts, the 139th Division is not a unit worthy of complete trust, but it is the only unit that can be trusted today, at least judging from last night's battle, the combat effectiveness of the unit under the 139th Division is good. If you go back to contact another army, such as the 74th Army of the old acquaintance Yu Jishi, it will be good, but the ghost knows whether the troops below the people will look down on you troops like "called Huazi", who are now the trump card in the hands of Lao Jiang. Sun Yumin didn't know that Yu Jishi had already stepped down as army commander, and the current commander of the 74th Army was Wang Yaowu, fortunately, he didn't plan to contact him, like Wang Yaowu, who was arrogant and didn't take other troops into account, Sun Yumin would 100% hit the nail.

"Of course, as long as it is Commander Sun, the 139th Division must obey Li at the moment." Li Zhaoying expressed her position without thinking about it, and it was this attitude without the slightest hesitation that made Sun Yumin make up his mind.

"Okay, my first request is to ask Division Commander Li and the officers of your division headquarters to immediately change into soldiers' clothes, we are on the battlefield, not at the station."

Sun Yumin's words deliberately carried a hint of sarcasm, he wanted to see what kind of attitude Li Zhaoying would have. If he was like some generals of the national army, he turned his face on the spot or left for the sake of his own face, then Sun Yumin would definitely not depend on such a person for the safety of his troops.

Li Zhaoying was very embarrassed, since he became the commander of the major general's division, he has always been brightly dressed, and he never thought that there would be anything wrong with this, including the 139th Division on the battlefield this time, he also thought about changing clothes, but as soon as he heard that Gao'an City was taken and the devil's troops had retreated on all fronts, he put this thought away again, after all, the general was in uniform, and the majesty naturally came out. Now that Sun Yumin said this, he was so ashamed that his neck turned red, and he hurriedly responded: "Change, change, change." Change now! ”

Regardless of Li Zhaoying's person, whether she has talent or not, at least her attitude is very correct.

Sun Yumin just took a fancy to this, he was not afraid of whether the friendly army would be soft or not, but he was worried about whether the friendly army would dare to go up and whether he would run, at least now the 139th Division gave him a good feeling.

"The second thing is that during our cooperation, your ministry needs to be at my disposal." Sun Yumin threw out his second request, which was too harsh, and Sun Yumin would not agree to such a request if someone else made such a request.

Sure enough, after Li Zhaoying heard this request, his face darkened, although he couldn't see his inner thoughts, but he must be struggling there.

"During the period of our two orders, all the combat achievements belong to the 139th Division, but the supplies and ammunition of our department need to be provided by you. Master Li, you can put 10,000 hearts, Sun will not joke with the lives of soldiers, what you get will far exceed what you pay. ”

Sun Yumin saw that he was still hesitating, so he gave his excessive request a legal code, and it was this passage that prompted Li Zhaoying to make up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, so decided, during the cooperation between our two divisions, the 139th Division will be headed by Commander Sun, and I will be responsible for all the supplies of your 800 warriors." ”

Sun Yumin was waiting for Wang Tiehan's 105th Division to take over the defense in Gao'an City, while the 102nd Brigade on the Japanese side was stepping up preparations for battle.

Kudo Yoshio was very depressed, not only was Gao'an Castle captured by the national army at night, but the Saeda detachment of the 106th Division, which was originally fighting with his troops, was also transferred to deal with the 60th Army of the Shina Army, and left his own troops behind to deal with the 32nd Army and the 57th Division of the detachment army alone.

Not to mention the combat strength of the 32nd Army, this 57th Division alone is enough to give its troops a headache.

The 57th Division is the main division of the 74th Army, which is subordinate to the ace army of China, and is fully equipped with German armaments, and each division is equipped with an artillery regiment, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to any Japanese field brigade.

Although the current 57th Division was incorporated into the 74th Army in Xiangyin at the beginning of the year, and did not participate in the Wanjialing Battle last year, nor has it yet reached the peak state when it held Changde a few years later, it can be among the ranks of the 74th Army, and its strength naturally cannot be underestimated. So Kudo Yoshio's worries are justified, if he knew that the troops who came to attack him this time also had Sun Yumin, who had defeated the Tufeiyuan Division, I am afraid that he would have no heart to defend the ass of the entire 106th Division and the 101st Division.

Looking at the busy soldiers who were setting up the temporary headquarters, Kudo Yoshio suddenly had a sad feeling, which he had never felt before, perhaps he himself felt that this unknown place would be the burial place for him and the 102nd Brigade.

…………

Zhou Shanjun with his bayonet detachment set off again ahead of the large army.

Sun Yumin can be said to do his best for this elite, all the equipment is personally designated by him, except for Chen Tiesheng and Chen Tieyang, the two twin brothers who carry two Mauser 98K sniper rifles, the others including Zhou Shanjun, each person is equipped with MP38 German submachine guns and five magazines, four grenades per person, an original German-made 20-round barge gun per person, a small crossbow per person, a three-edged military thorn per person, and even two slightly larger soldiers with iron claws and ropes. This time, coming out of the poplar shop, the bayonet detachment also carried two MG34 general-purpose machine guns, which had a rate of fire nearly ten times that of the Maxim or pheasant neck, but had never appeared on the Chinese battlefield. Zhou Shanjun had never seen its power, although Sun Yumin asked him to bring one, but he refused, although the machine gun was not heavy, but it had to be carried by people to carry two boxes of bullets to follow, which greatly increased the difficulty of the bayonet detachment.

Everywhere there was the sound of gunfire, everywhere there were enemies and national troops in battle.

In order to avoid them, Zhou Shanjun took nine soldiers to the outside of an unknown village. Although they carried maps and compasses, they still couldn't figure out where they were, and they could only rely on the fierce gunfire not far away, judging that this place was not far from the frontline battlefield, and as for their own people, it was impossible to know whether they were in the rear of the national army or the rear of the devils.

After a day of running, everyone was a little tired, and they couldn't figure out what kind of situation the village was, Zhou Shanjun decided to let everyone find a place outside the village to rest for the night, eat something to replenish their physical strength, but as soon as they went up to a small slope, Chen Tiesheng, who opened the road at the front, issued a warning.

Zhou Shanjun hurriedly ran over, picked up the bushes in Chen Tiesheng's hideout, and saw a group of busy devils.

They were setting up a makeshift shed, and at this time they were constantly putting straw on the roof of the shed, and there were some fresh branches piled on the ground next to it.

Although the shed was not completed, an antenna was already high on the roof of the shed, which clearly indicated that it was a headquarters.

Zhou Shanjun was shocked in his heart, could it be that his blind cat ran into a dead mouse and found the devil's headquarters in a random manner?

"Captain, how can that devil with a telescope shine on his shoulder?" Chen Tiesheng asked suspiciously.

Zhou Shanjun looked in the direction of his finger, and saw two or three devils clustered around a devil holding a telescope, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the rank on the shoulders of this devil was shining with golden light.

"At such a distance, you can kill ......" Before Zhou Shanjun's words were finished, he heard a clear gunshot next to him, and the devil with the telescope in his sight, the devil with the golden light shining on his shoulder, fell to the ground.

"Of course you can!"

Chen Tiesheng's words reached Zhou Shanjun's ears at the same time as the gunshot.
