In the south of Dingyuan City, the defensive position of the first regiment of the Independent Brigade, on a dirt slope slightly higher than the ground, Chen Qingzhi and Su Zuxin, as well as the commander of the first regiment, Fang Xiaodong, were all present.

All three of them held binoculars and looked at the situation of the Ninth Division in the distance.

Not far away, several guards with rifles watched the situation vigilantly, guarding the safety of the three commanders.

At this time, Chen Qingzhi took the telescope and looked at the shadowy figure of the Japanese army, the dense movement of soldiers back and forth, and couldn't help frowning: "The Ninth Division is really a strong enemy!" I'm afraid that this time, we are really going to usher in a vicious battle! ”

The 9th Division is one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army, with about 21,000 soldiers and the 18th Brigade and the 6th Brigade under its jurisdiction.

The commander of the 18th Brigade is Major General Nobuyoki I, and it has two field infantry wings, namely the 36th Wing led by Jiro Wakisaka and the 19th Wing led by Hitomi Shuzo.

The commander of the 6th Brigade is Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, and he is under the command of Kazuo Isa's 7th Wing and Fujii Sueyoshi's 35th Wing.

In addition, the division is also equipped with a cavalry company, which is the 9th Cavalry Wing led by Mori Yagoru and the 9th Wing of the Mountain Artillery of Seriyama Shu.

In addition, there is the 9th Engineer Wing and the 9th Baggage Wing, a total of eight wings.

Corresponding communications teams, health teams, field hospitals, and so on are also readily available.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Division is quite good, and among these permanent divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, it is also in the forefront of the ranks by virtue of its combat effectiveness alone!

In Dingyuan County, although Chen Qingzhi's independent brigade and Su Zuxin's 135th Division are stationed, in the face of the Ninth Division, the pressure is not small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a vicious battle!

"The evil battle is certain, the Ninth Division is coming with great momentum, and naturally it will not give up!" Su Zuxin put down the binoculars, looked at Chen Qingzhi and said with a smile: "I said that, your independent brigade ambushed in Shuanglong Valley, annihilated his seventh wing, and attacked the station of the ninth division at night, I'm afraid Ji Jia Liangfu wants to eat you alive, and wants to kill you quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi laughed: "Then it depends on whether he Ji Jia Ryosuke has this ability!" ”

After speaking, Chen Qingzhi and Su Zuxin both laughed, their faces were light and light, and they were not nervous at all before the big war.

Fang Xiaodong stood aside, watching Chen Qingzhi and Su Zuxin talking and laughing, with some admiration in his heart.

To tell the truth, when the Ninth Division attacked, although he didn't speak, he was nervous in his heart.

Moreover, his regiment of defensive positions was in the south of the city, just facing the Japanese army.

If the little devil wants to attack Dingyuan, his position is definitely the main direction of the Japanese army!

Fang Xiaodong was only a pistol platoon leader before, how could he have commanded the troops to fight a battle of this scale? To say not to be nervous is a fake!

Chen Qingzhi saw Fang Xiaodong's nervousness, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't be nervous!" Although the 9th Division of the little devils is powerful, they are also human beings, and they will die if they are bullets, you just need to play well and stick to your position! ”

"Besides, there is Master Su next to him to help each other, it is really not easy for the little devil to take down Dingyuan!"

Chen Qingzhi's tone carried a strong sense of confidence, under the influence of Chen Qingzhi, Fang Xiaodong's nervous mood gradually eased a little, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although the little devil is powerful, we are not vegetarians!" If his 9th Division wants to take our position, he has to lose a layer of skin! ”

"Not bad, morale is commendable!" Su Zuxin said approvingly.

To be able to be so tough when the enemy is present, although he is a little nervous, but he does not have the slightest fear, this alone is already extraordinary from ordinary people!

Su Zuxin was sincere in approval, looking at Fang Xiaodong's fearless expression, Su Zuxin thought of the other three regiment leaders under Chen Qingzhi's hands.

Huzi, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade, is brave and invincible, loyal, and the backbone of the 29th Army's broadsword team.

If it is known, I am afraid that every army will compete for the person!

After all, just training the troops and fighting the big knife of the little devil is enough to make people salivate!

Although Wang Yachuan, the commander of the third regiment, has no advantages, there is one thing that is commendable in the army, that is, he is not afraid of death!

has a fiery temperament, dares not to be afraid of death, and hates the little devil to the core, and is also a rare talent!

As for Zhu Xiaocheng, the commander of the artillery regiment of the Independent Brigade, a top student of the Whampoa Military Academy, or a major in the artillery department, it is enough to attract attention wherever he puts it.

You must know that the Whampoa Department is well-known for its unity, and he is still a student of Jiang, so the future can be described as bright.

These four people are baby bumps wherever they are placed, but they appear in groups in the Independent Brigade, and Su Zuxin has to accept this!

After observing the position of the little devil for a while, Chen Qingzhi put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go!" I see that the little devils are almost ready, so go back and command the troops to deal with the attack of the little devils! ”

A few people naturally nodded yes.

……

Temporary Headquarters of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army

At this time, the 9th Division of the little devils has already set up a battle formation, all units are ready, and the artillery has also built artillery positions, so it can be said that everything is ready!

Just wait for the moment of attack!

Ryosuke Yoshika stood on the long table of the temporary headquarters, looked at the subordinates standing on the left and right, and said, "Everyone, this attack on Dingyuan is not only to take this county seat, but also to be ashamed!" ”

"The Dingyuan branch army deceived people too much, Shuanglong Valley ambushed the Seventh Wing, causing all of our Seventh Wing to be shattered, and it was a sneak attack on the garrison in the early hours of this morning, making a big fuss, which is simply a great shame for our Ninth Division!"

"If we don't annihilate it, will our Ninth Division still have a foothold in the empire in the future? I'm afraid that our 9th Division will become the laughing stock of the Empire! ”

Ji Jia Ryosuke's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "So, this battle is a battle for our Ninth Division to wash away its shame!" I only have one word, destroy them all, and leave no one! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Hearing this, the officers of the Ninth Division all responded loudly.

As Ryosuke Yoshika said, the Independent Brigade had brought many humiliations to their Ninth Division, and if they were not annihilated, what would their Ninth Division still have to stand in the military circles of the Empire?

This revenge can only be washed away with blood!

"Your Excellency Division Commander, I request that our Sixth Brigade take the lead in this battle!" The brigade commander of the 6th Brigade, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi, said: "The annihilation of the 7th Wing under the jurisdiction of my 6th Brigade is simply a great shame, I want to wash away the shame with my own hands, and I ask Your Excellency the division commander to agree!" ”

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi said angrily.

His Sixth Brigade only had two wings, and as a result, in the Battle of Shuanglong Valley, Chen Qingzhi's troops annihilated his Seventh Wing, resulting in heavy losses in the combat effectiveness of his troops, which made Akiyama Yoshiyoshi angry and eager to eat Chen Qingzhi alive.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, as long as we let the Sixth Brigade attack, I promise to capture Chen Qingzhi alive and send it to you within an hour!" Akiyama Yoshiyoshi said in a deep voice.

"Roar!" Hearing this, Ryosuke Ji nodded approvingly, and said with satisfaction: "Akiyama-kun can be the first to come out and ask for the main attack, his courage is commendable, and he is worthy of being a soldier of the empire!" In that case, then your 6th Brigade will be the main attacker! I'm here, waiting for Akiyama-kun's good news! ”

"Hey!"
