Since the day when he met the little girl's depressed appearance, Sun Yumin has been busy with military affairs for many days, either holding a meeting at the military headquarters, or going to various units to inspect the training situation, and forgetting this little episode.

After coming back, he almost forgot about this matter, until he suddenly had something to look for Chen Lai, but found that she was not there, and when he asked the orderly, he learned that Chen Lai had already been called away by the little girl.

Hearing the orderly say that Chen was called away by the little girl, Sun Yumin remembered that some of his people didn't take care of her and Chu Jiu, and the guilt in his heart arose, so he immediately put down what he was doing and walked home.

As before, his home was not far from the headquarters, and it was only a few minutes' walk away. As a soldier, Sun Yumin's walking speed is naturally not slow, but today he slowed down, making the soldiers behind him feel very puzzled, but no one dared to ask.

The reason why Sun Yumin walked slowly was because he saw the back of the little girl. has been with him for a few years, and he can't be more familiar with this Nizi's figure.

If he saw only the little girl alone, Sun Yumin wouldn't pay too much attention to it, because he knew that this girl was an idle master, and when she didn't come to the ninth year of the first month, she was also wandering around, wandering around, and harming others everywhere, and it would be normal to go out for a walk. But now, there are two other people beside the little girl, one is Liu Xiaoshan, and the other seems to be a little familiar, Sun Yumin dares to say that he has seen it, but he can't remember where he has seen it for a while.

The steps of the three of them were obviously faster than others, which made Sun Yumin, who was already puzzled, feel even more strange, and his curiosity also rose, so he followed the three of them from a distance to see what they were going to do.

Seeing that Sun Yumin was not heading in the direction of home, the accompanying guards and soldiers began to become a little nervous, discussed with each other, and immediately sent one person to inform the head of the guard Lin Yuanping, and the other three not only got their guns in their hands, but also loaded all the bullets as if they were facing a great enemy.

Sun Yumin didn't care about these details, his mind was all on the little girl.

The three of them turned around and came to an unnamed stream on an unnamed hill.

Although the garrison of Sun Yumin's military headquarters is located in the territory of Hengshan, it is actually still some distance away from Hengshan. Although there is some distance, this side is still beautiful and quiet.

The little girl and the three of them stopped in this unusually quiet place, standing by the stream, unobstructed, unable to approach at all.

Sun Yumin had to hide from a distance and watch, for fear of being discovered by them.

Arguments, quarrels, emotions, anger, inability to calm down, these words are the most appropriate for the little girl at this moment. She was arguing with the slightly unfamiliar officer, although it was too far away to hear why they were arguing, but from the little girl's movements, gestures and body shape, it could be seen that she was talking about something that made her extremely angry.

It stands to reason that the soldiers who appear near the core circle of the Twelfth Army will be people from the Twelfth Army, but Sun Yumin didn't know this person at all, and he felt familiar with it before, just because he saw this person quickly hiding behind the house last time.

A strange officer, a strange officer who wandered near the headquarters of the Twelfth Army, a strange officer who dared to quarrel with the little girl, Sun Yumin suddenly became interested, and he wanted to meet this person well.

With this thought in mind, he suddenly strode forward, and the three guards and soldiers hurriedly followed.

Liu Xiaoshan was the first to find out that Sun Yumin was coming, because he was just comforting the little girl on the side, and almost didn't participate in the quarrel between the two. Seeing Sun Yumin coming, his face turned blue, and he pushed the little girl twice in a row, but he didn't get a response, so anxious that he stood between the two and said, "The military seat is here!" Only then did the two of them who were fully engaged in the quarrel be shocked.

The strange officer turned his head and saw that Sun Yumin had arrived not far away, followed by three guard soldiers with guns, his first reaction was to run, but after only two steps, he stopped again, because he found that the three guard soldiers behind Sun Yumin had already raised their guns, and it was basically impossible to escape from the guns of the guard soldiers of the commander of the first army.

"Brother, why are you here?" The little girl's eyes were red and red, there were tears in her eyes, and there was some redness on her face, which was obviously the reason for the quarrel just now.

"Hello military seat!" Liu Xiaoshan stood beside the little girl and gave a military salute.

The strange officer who was forced to stop also turned around helplessly, stood up and leaned on his legs to perform a standard military salute, and shouted loudly: "Good military seat! ”

"Why don't you run away?" Sun Yumin ignored the little girl and Liu Xiaoshan, and walked directly to the strange officer.

Probably worried that this person would pose a threat to Sun Yumin's personal safety, the two guard soldiers ran to the front and pointed a gun at the person's head, while the remaining guard stood beside Sun Yumin, which was a frame to block the knife and gun for him at any time.

"Why run?" The first sentence was not answered, Sun Yumin asked again, the tone of this sentence was obviously higher than the previous sentence, this was still a little curious, who dared to conflict with the "ancestor" of the little girl, so he asked more.

But he was very disappointed, this sentence still did not get a response, Sun Yumin was a little angry, and snorted in his mouth: "Toast and don't eat and drink." ”

After he finished humming this sentence, he turned his head and went to the little girl's side, and did not pay any more attention to the strange officer.

Although Sun Yumin did not make a clear statement, it was enough to have his words, one of the two guards went up and slapped the man, and the other kicked the strange officer in the lower abdomen, and the two scolded in unison: "Miscellaneous, our military seat asked you something, and you dare not answer." ”

"Brother, don't beat him, let him go, okay? Please. ”

Sun Yumin was very surprised, because when the little girl was in the hands of the two guard soldiers, she pleaded for the person.

"Who is he?"

Sun Yumin asked.

"Brother, don't ask? You just don't see what happened today, okay? The little girl was aggrieved and anxious, and threw herself into his arms and sprinkled on him, this kind of "treatment" Sun Yumin has not enjoyed for a long time.

"Can I just ask?" Sun Yumin stroked the little girl's hair and asked softly. He can be cruel to the enemy, friendly to his brothers, and caring for the soldiers, but this pity is only used by the little girl, which is the support for this little woman with a deep blood feud to live strongly.

Sun Yumin's words made the little girl stunned for a moment, but she was only stunned for a moment, then raised her head, bit her lip, and nodded twice.

"Well, I won't ask about today's matter, but this person can't appear in my twelfth army again, let alone in my sight."

No matter what the little girl's request is, Sun Yumin will not categorically refuse, unless it is an unreasonable request that is extremely contrary to human ethics and the way of justice. Like this, which can be satisfied casually, Sun Yumin naturally will not make her unhappy.

"I promise you won't see him again, brother, you can put ten thousand hearts." The little girl replied solemnly, she stood up from Sun Yumin's arms, and then walked up to the strange officer who was beaten by two guard soldiers, and said to the guard soldier who was still pointing a gun at him: "The military seat said to let you two pass." ”

The two of them looked back at Sun Yumin, and when they saw him nodding, they put down their guns and turned to leave.

While the little girl was talking softly to the strange officer, Sun Yumin looked at Liu Xiaoshan, who was restrained and uneasy, although he didn't ask out loud, but there was obviously a question in his eyes, which made him feel nervous. This kid is also very clever, since he doesn't dare to face the military seat, why not go to the little girl's side, with her to hold it for himself, then there will be nothing.

Liu Xiaoshan thought that he could rely on the little girl to "hide" the past, but he didn't know that Sun Yumin usually hated this the most, and the consequences of his doing so would only reduce his image in Sun Yumin's mind, and would only affect Sun Yumin's judgment of his ability.

promised the little girl that he hadn't seen this matter, Sun Yumin wouldn't secretly investigate again, but he asked Zhao Lei to start paying attention to the little girl and Liu Xiaoshan secretly, Sun Yumin's purpose in doing this was not to distrust them, but for their safety, Liu Xiaoshan didn't have to worry about it, after all, as a deputy of the regiment, he had a lot of people under him, but the little girl was different, she was his only sister, and it was not ruled out that there would be people with ulterior motives who would want to use her.

…………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of August.

After several months of recuperation and training, all units of the 12 th Army have taken on a new mental outlook and become more powerful in combat effectiveness.

Five American M3 medium tanks were also smuggled over, this time going further, secretly unloading the ship somewhere between Jiujiang and Yueyang, thanks to the fact that Ganglenzi and his bayonet squad made a lot of movement around the perimeter, causing the devils to put all their attention on them, so that this plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross the Chen Cang has been perfectly implemented.

As Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng wished, after Qian Jin's incorruptible tongue and the perfect impression left by the last transaction, Johnson and Mark also brought a batch of American M1 rifles while transporting tanks, which was not enough for a regiment, but could equip at least two battalions. At the strong request of Zhanshutang and Deng Dongping, one battalion of M1 was left for Lin Yuanping's guard regiment, and the rest was given to the 139th Division, which made Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng, who were already discouraged, overjoyed.

Although the divisions and regiments of the Twelfth Army were in excellent condition, the situation in the Ninth Theater was not very good.

Since October 2, 1939, Xue Yue was officially appointed as the acting commander-in-chief of the 9th Theater of Operations, for nearly two years, the Ninth Theater has won successive battles, the first Battle of Changsha, the Winter Offensive, and the Battle of Shanggao.

Perhaps it was the successive victories that made Xue Yue temporarily lose his vigilance in his "great achievements", and the frequent military movements of Anami, the new commander of the Japanese 11th Army, in the autumn of 1941 did not make him pay enough attention, and in Xue Yue's view, the Japanese army's actions were nothing more than a small-scale harassment.

This extremely erroneous judgment caused the originally relatively good situation in the Ninth War Zone to undergo earth-shaking changes overnight.

The reason why Xue Yue became arrogant and even a little irrational, first of all, was because he had two aces in his hands: the 74th Army and Sun Yumin's 12th Army, and Luo Zhuoying's 19th Army, which are all descendants of the Central Army.

Secondly, Xue Yue learned from many channels that the Japanese army was actively preparing to attack Southeast Asia in the south, and he believed that once the Japanese army moved south, it would definitely draw troops from the 11th Army, and it was almost impossible for Anan to launch a large-scale attack on the 9th theater under the general situation of the Japanese army moving south.

Moreover, Xue Yue firmly believed that even if the Japanese army would launch an attack on the Ninth Theater, it would follow the old path of the first Battle of Changsha, which was divided into three routes to attack, and there should not be too many Japanese divisions and regiments used to fight in the northern Hunan region.

If Anan Weiji really attacked according to Xue Yue's idea, then the first in the northern Hunan region will have a numerical advantage, and of course it is not a big problem to block the Japanese army, so Xue Yue, who is full of self-confidence, even abandoned the magic weapon of the first team to win in the previous battle - the theory of "retreating and decisive battle", and from the very beginning, the ** in northern Hunan was lined up on the road of the Japanese attack.

Anan is a hard-line militarist, and from the beginning of his tenure, he was determined to eliminate the elite of the Ninth War Zone. Before he took office, his boss and old friend Shunroku Hata said: "Banhuanjun はかつて, 国の軍の中で一人だけで戦うことができて、この人は戦神のtitle を持つ孫玉民である." 私は知っています、私は知っています、 あなたはいつも坂道君に大きな异议を持っていて、ひいては恨んでいて、ずっと彼より强くて、今のopportunityに来て、それは彼に褒められる中国の军人があなたのenemy対で、武士の勇気を出して、この人はあなたの足元に服を着させます。 (Ban Huanjun once said that there is only one person in the ** who can fight, and this person is Sun Yumin, who has the title of God of War.) I know that you have always had a lot of objections to Banhuan Jun, and even hated him, and you have always wanted to be stronger than him, and now the opportunity has come, and the ** person who praised him is on the opposite side of you, showing the courage of a samurai and making this person surrender at your feet. So as soon as he arrived at the headquarters of the 11th Army in Wuhan, he asked people to go around collecting information and intelligence on Sun Yumin.

It was precisely because of the idea of wanting to kill Sun Yumin that Anan decided not only to strike a heavy blow to the Ninth Theater militarily, but also to eliminate the resistance consciousness of the Chinese in the Ninth Theater from propaganda, and he decided that the official launch of this "plus operation" (the squadron called this operation the Second Battle of Changsha) was September 18, 1941, that is, the 10th anniversary of the "September 18 Incident." This arrogant Japanese militarist wanted to insult Sun Yumin and all the squadrons in the Ninth Theater in this way!
