"Military seat, Yiyang City has been captured by our army. But...... Wang Youcai, deputy of the 2nd Regiment of the New 34th Division, was martyred. ”

Tang Chunhong's words silenced Sun Yumin, he still clearly remembered that when he first saw this guy, he led his puppet army squadron to storm the devils in Huoshan County, and the reason was actually to avenge his woman.

Although he had heard about this guy's bad deeds from Zhou Shanjun's mouth before, he dared to "rush to the crown and be angry", which was enough to make Sun Yumin change his previous opinion of him.

In particular, he would rather be a supernumerary member of the Yangshupu Volunteer Corps, but also stay and practice his skills to kill the enemy, and in just half a year, he has changed from a weak scholar with no power to a top training man with top grades, which makes Sun Yumin appreciate it even more.

Later, in the various battles, Wang Youcai did not disappoint Sun Yumin, he also stepped into the position of commander step by step, and also walked into Sun Yumin's small circle step by step, although it has not yet reached the point of core members for the time being, but if it continues to develop like this, it is not impossible to do so.

But now, this possibility is completely extinguished, Sun Yumin still remembers vividly, the once weak man, crying heartbroken when holding his daughter's corpse, the angry expression of this former devil's translator chopping off the head of Taro Hashimoto, and the resoluteness of this former squadron leader of the Imperial Association Army when he decided to join Yangshupu.

"Bury him, report the merits of wealth to the Ninth War Zone, and let him go in style."

Sun Yumin was full of emotion, he knew the difficulty of this war, and he also knew that there would definitely be many brothers who would sacrifice their lives for the country and die in battle, but he didn't expect that it would come so quickly, and there would already be such good brothers sacrificed in the first battle.

"I will call back to Division Commander Dai immediately, and at the same time call the Ninth War Zone to ask Commander Wang for credit." Tang Chunhong responded.

"Send a telegram to Chief Xue in my personal name and ask him, why was Yiyang City occupied by the Japanese army silently? Ask him again, where did the troops defending the city go? Sun Yumin was deliberately disgusting Xue Yue, which could be regarded as a small warning to his original arrogance.

Sun Yumin knew that it was the 77th Division of the 73rd Army that guarded Yiyang City, and it was a unit under Wang Yaowu, although he didn't have the idea of looking for Wang Yaowu, but he still wanted to see how Xue Yue would deal with the law, even if the matter of abandoning the city and fleeing was finally over, but at least he could give the sacrificed Wang Youcai some fame and merit.

"Yes, Throne." Tang Chunhong responded crisply.

"Also, when you call Dai Cunxiang back, ask about his troops, and tell him that you can pursue the Japanese army that escaped from Yiyang City, and use the momentum to win two big battles in a row, which can be regarded as revenge for Youcai."

As soon as Sun Yumin finished saying this, he suddenly felt a little strange feeling in his heart, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as an ominous premonition.

Could something unforeseeable happen? Sun Yumin really didn't want to think about the bad side, but he had to guard against something that he regretted, so when Tang Chunhong was about to leave, he stopped her and said: "Add a sentence to the telegram, everything must be done with the safety of the brothers, remember not to act rashly." ”

"Oh, good!"

Tang Chunhong's answer did not reduce the worry in Sun Yumin's heart, how can there be a 100% safe thing in a war together, and bullets and shells will not go around you just because you are a member of the Twelfth Army. I hope that after this war is over, the brothers will be safe!

…………

Huang Wei's red eyes were swollen, and he had been standing at the gate of the city where Wang Youcai sacrificed, the power of the explosion was too great, he couldn't even leave the corpse, and the whole person turned into a "fertilizer" to moisten the land, when he thought that his brother couldn't even leave the bones, Huang Wei had an indescribable sadness, and there were five battalions, except for the five battalions in this battle, except for a company that stayed and did not rush out, almost the whole army was wiped out, which made him even more unable to calm down.

"Tuanzao, the deputy division commander is here!"

The little ghost of the trumpeter, who had been standing with him, reminded Huang Wei.

"Oh!"

Huang Wei first turned his head to look at Dai Cunxiang, who was surrounded by him, then rubbed his red and swollen eyes, wiped the tears that had already dried up on his face, and then greeted him.

"Deputy Division Commander ......"

Even though he had endured his sadness, when he saw his direct boss, Huang Wei was still a little choked, and the tears that had been stopped flowed involuntarily.

"Don't cry! You are the head of a regiment, the leader of more than 2,000 people, how can you shed tears in front of the soldiers? ”

Dai Cunxiang's voice is not angry and arrogant, and it is similar to his whole temperament.

"Deputy division commander, there is wealth, there is wealth, he is gone!"

Dai Cunxiang's words did not stop Huang Wei's sadness, but made him find an outlet and cry bitterly.

"It's good to have money! All the officers and men of our division will not forget him, and I believe that the military seat will not forget him either. He is the pride of our 12th Army, and our whole division is proud of him! ”

Huang Wei's true feelings were revealed, which made Dai Cunxiang a little excited.

"Yes, we are all proud of him, he is our pride." Huang Wei repeated Dai Cunxiang's words, but then choked up: "But what's the use of this? He's dead, and he can't be with his brothers anymore! ”

"The meaning of man's existence in this world is not to live for a long time, as long as he does something that can be remembered by the world, then even if he dies, he will always live in everyone's heart. Whenever you mention him, everyone will remember that he is the hero of the 12th Army, the pride of the new 34th Division, and the eternal deputy of the 2nd Regiment. ”

Dai Cunxiang enlightened Huang Wei, but he knew that this kind of enlightenment would not have any effect.

"Deputy division commander, I want to take revenge for You's finances." Huang Wei said this suddenly, and the flames of revenge came out of his red and swollen eyes, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.

"This is a must, not only you and the Second Regiment, but our entire division must avenge him." Dai Cunxiang said: "The military seat called before, let us pursue the devils who escaped from Yiyang City, originally I planned to let the Seventh Regiment follow up the pursuit, if you want this opportunity, then I will give this task to your Second Regiment." ”

"I want it, our second regiment wants it, this task must be completed by our regiment!" Huang Wei changed the "cowardice" that was still crying just now, and said eagerly, and before Dai Cunxiang could respond, he said to the little ghost who had been with him: "Inform the commander of the eighth battalion to take his people to pursue in the direction of Ningxiang first, and the rest of the sixth, seventh, and fifth battalions will follow." ”

"Yes, Tuanza!" The little ghost of the trumpeter saluted him, and saluted Dai Cunxiang, and then rushed into the city, although he was young, but he wanted to avenge Wang Youcai, no less than anyone else.

"Deputy Division Commander, I'm going to prepare, so I won't accompany you!" Huang Wei was about to leave as he spoke, but he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "Although there are no bones left, we still have to build a tomb for him, just find a better place outside this city gate, and let him always guard the city he dedicated." ”

"Well, this matter is left to me to arrange, when you lead your troops to pursue, you must pay attention to your own safety, and you must also remind your brothers to pay attention to safety, the military seat has an explanation, and the safety of your brothers is better than everything." Dai Cunxiang responded and told Huang Wei.

"I see!" Huang Wei said, he gave a solemn military salute to Dai Cunxiang, turned around and strode towards the city.

Looking at the back of Huang Wei leaving, Dai Cunxiang sighed with some emotion, although these brothers joined this collective later, their blood is enough to make the big guy proud of them.

"Deputy division commander, the people of the 77th Division are here and ask to see you." A staff officer trotted over and reported to Dai Cunxiang.

"Seventy-seventh Division, didn't they run? How did you come back again? ”

Dai Cunxiang actually understood in his heart that it must be the military seat who was annoyed and stabbed them in the Ninth War Zone, and was forced to return to Yiyang.

"I heard that I was going to pick up the defense, but I don't know what I was here for." The staff officer replied.

"You respond to them, don't see me, just let them take over."

Let himself lose a general, Dai Cunxiang didn't look for them to be unlucky, how can he have spare time to deal with them, so he said this directly to the staff officer.

"But the person who wants to see you in the 77th Division is a major general, I ...... I ......" the staff officer stammered, although he didn't say everything, but Dai Cunxiang knew that it was difficult for him to refuse.

"It doesn't matter if he's a major general or a lieutenant general, even if the commander of their 73rd Army comes, I still don't want to see him. Inform all departments, after breakfast, follow up the route of the second regiment, I want this group of devils to know the strength of our division, I want the devils to tremble when they hear the number of the 12th Army. ”

The commander of the 77th Division knew that he was ashamed, and after listening to the staff officer's reply, he didn't say anything, but just ordered the troops to take over the city defense. He ordered someone to send a good coffin and a lot of condolences money, but he didn't know that Wang Youcai couldn't even leave the bones, so where could he use the coffin. However, Dai Cunxiang did not refuse the kindness of others, and according to Huang Wei's wishes, he ordered people to erect a well-dressed mound not far from the city, and a few eye-catching characters were written on the wooden tombstone: The Tomb of Wang Youcai. There is also a line of small words next to it: All the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment of the New 34th Division of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army stand in mourning.

…………

The commander of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army, Aoki Seiichi, learned that the 234th Wing had lost Yiyang City, which had just been captured not long ago, and was furious, and scolded the chief of staff beside him: "Kawashima-kun は臆病ですか.? Ugly 悪な支那军を倒すことができないで、彼はforty個師団の颜をすべて失ってしまった!" (Is Kawashima-kun a coward?) How could the ugly Shina army be defeated, he lost the face of the entire 40th Division! ）

"Your Excellency, 変な Kawashima-kun, あなたは益阳城を攻撃したのはどこのArmyですか?中国军のエースTwelfth Army!" (Your Excellency, Division Commander, you can't blame Kawashima-kun, do you know which army attacked Yiyang City?) It is the ace of the Chinese army, the 12th Army! ）

"どうして可能だろう?戦前の情报は、湘南の恒山付近にあったのではないか? Yokoyama Isamu Commander は次のように述べた。 重慶政府は彼らをChangsha Cityに置き、どうして今は益阳に现れているのだろうか? (How is that possible?) Didn't the pre-war intelligence show that they were near Hengshan in southern Shonan? Commander Isamu Yokoyama said that the Chongqing government would definitely put them in Changsha City, why would they appear in Yiyang now? Aoki Seiichi felt a little incredulous, but he had fought with the Twelfth Army and knew the combat effectiveness of the army led by Sun Yumin.

"それが、益々の城を攻めているのは、孫玉民の队员であり、そうでなければ川島君は一撃してしまうのではないか。?" (It's true that it was Sun Yumin's troops who captured Yiyang City, otherwise would Kawashima-kun be so vulnerable?) The chief of staff replied that he and Aoki had suffered at the hands of Sun Yumin together, and until now he still has lingering palpitations at the mention of this name.

"この戦は236の戦いでは?川島君の部隊は今どこにありますか。?" (What was the battle damage of the 236th Wing in this battle?) Where are Kawashima-kun's troops now? ）

"師団の主要に接近し、攻撃への参加を控えている。 (It is already moving closer to the main force of the division and is about to participate in the battle to attack Ningxiang.) ）

"攻撃は、彼らを使わずに、川島君を師団のmain force の後ろに置いて、防御線を設置し、孫玉民の部隊が追撃するのではないかと心配した。 (They were not needed for the attack, so let Kawashima-kun set up a defensive line behind the main force of the division, and I was afraid that Sun Yumin's troops would pursue them.) Aoki Seiichi really had a sense of fear for Sun Yumin, and cautiously stepped down this line of defense, and it was thanks to his subordinates that he did not cause his entire division to suffer a catastrophe in the end.

"Sun Yumin のtroop は実力が强くても、皇军を追撃することはできないだろう." (Although Sun Yumin's troops are strong, they don't dare to pursue the imperial army!) The chief of staff replied, but he could see that Aoki Seiichi's face sank, and he hurriedly said: "よし、師団長長, 私はすぐに川偏んに知らせて、236団に師団のMain force の後ろに防防します." "(Okay, Your Excellency Division Commander, I will immediately inform Kawashima-kun and let the 236th Wing fortify behind the main force of the division.) ）

After receiving the order from the division, the commander of the 236th Wing, Kawashima Chang, breathed a sigh of relief, he was very worried that the division commander Aoki Seiichi would cure him of the crime of losing the city, but the order not only did not say half a word, but also praised him for the bravery of bringing the troops out completely, which made him very happy, as for letting the wing fortify behind the main force of the division, he was even more regarded as the division commander to understand that they had just finished the battle, and gave him a time to rest and breathe, where could he have expected that the trenches had not yet been dug, and the eighth battalion of the second regiment that was in pursuit had already come.

The Chinese army first attacked tentatively, and found that it was the main force of the Japanese army, and then stopped the attack, and Kawashima knew that this was the forward force of the Chinese army, and they were not not not attacking, but waiting for the main force to come.

Originally, he thought it was a good time to rest, but he didn't expect that the Chinese army attacking Yiyang City would follow him so quickly, and he really wanted to die at the moment, and while hurriedly organizing the troops to fight, he asked people to report to the division commander Aoki Seiichi in a hurry.
