Chapter 242: What a joke
In February 1938, after the Japanese army invaded North China and East China, it decided to advance north and south, flank Xuzhou, open the Jingpu line, connect the northern and southern battlefields, and then move to Longhai County and go deep into the hinterland of China.
Naturally, Xuzhou, as a strategic location in East and North China, became the target of the Japanese in the first place.
The Japanese army was condemned by the people of the world because of the Nanjing Massacre, so the Central China Front, the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army were abolished and reorganized into the Central China Dispatch Army.
With Rokutoshi Hata as the commander and Shozo Kawabe as the chief of staff, with six more divisions and the third flying regiment, they approached Xuzhou at full speed.
The Battle of Xuzhou is inevitable, and all of this seems to be moving according to Han Xin's expectations.
……
The location was returned to the 2nd theater of operations, the 388th Regiment.
Yang Sen had already marched to Xuzhou in the Fifth War Zone with his Sichuan Army troops half a month ago.
As Han Xin expected, there was no difference and historical record at all, and after Li Zongren saw the Sichuan army, he felt the blood and integrity of this team at first sight.
Therefore, naturally there was no general encounter in the second war zone, and Yang Sen and others received Li Zongren's attention, reception and help.
The 20th Army of the former Sichuan Army was also directly reorganized into the 27th Group Army by Li Zongren, led by Yang Sen.
General Li Zongren was responsible for the distribution of weapons and equipment, military rations, and military salaries.
It can be said that from this moment on, Sichuan Jun, a hard-working child who no one wants, finally found his father and mother who loved him.
When Yang Sen sent the news to Han Xin, Han Xin was naturally happy for the Sichuan army, and said at the first time that he was about to lead the 388 regiment to Xuzhou to help in the war.
The 388th Regiment had previously supported the defense of Nanjing, and it can be said that it had created a precedent for reinforcements in the theater.
And for the entire Second Theater of Operations, the lack of a regiment of troops is really a very inconspicuous thing.
Coupled with Han Xin's special identity, when he was transferred to the national army, he made it very clear that where there was a battle, he would appear there.
Therefore, when Han Xin proposed to lead the 388th Regiment to Xuzhou to help in the battle, the division commander Wu Chengren expressed his affirmation after consulting the army commander Yang Xiaoou.
……
The 388th regiment, Han Xin was in a short shock and speechless at the moment.
Just now, Yang Xiaoou, the commander of the Second Army, personally called him.
Before Han Xin could understand what was going on, a loud angry scolding came from the other end of the phone:
"Boy, let me tell you, you are going to Xuzhou to die, and no one will stop you, but if you dare to pull my daughter up, when you come back, Lao Tzu will shoot you!"
During this time, Yang Xiaoou can be said to be both happy and worried, happy and painful.
Happily, Wu Chengren's old boy really said that his daughter was really interested in this Han Xin after coming into contact with Han Xin.
In addition, his daughter has been relying on the 388th Regiment during this time, and she is unwilling to come back no matter how she gives orders.
This all shows one thing: his Yang Xiaoou's daughter is really attracted to Han Xin.
In Yang Xiaoou's view, his daughter is already a big one, and now she has met someone she likes, which is naturally something to be happy about.
However, it backfired, this Han Xin was involved in too many things, and now he was going to Xuzhou to fight, and he was in danger at any time, how could this make him, a father, not worried.
As Yang Yiling's father, Yang Xiaoou knows his daughter's guts, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of banditry.
This is very much with him, dare to say and do, dare to make trouble, dare to love and hate!
Let's just say that Yang Yiling took a few classmates to find him across the devil sweeping area, and almost didn't scare Yang Xiaoou's heart attack.
Therefore, Yang Xiaoou couldn't hide his daughter's identity anymore this time, alerted Han Xin in advance, and gave another order to his daughter at the first time, asking her to rush home immediately, and not to mess around.
But......
…… The soldiers were ready to go, and Han Xin hung up Yang Xiaoou's phone a little speechlessly.
Sure enough, this Miss Yang is really not small, and there is actually a father who is a military commander, and now he actually warns that he is here.
Han Xin was speechless, what your old man said was so domineering, why didn't you just tie your daughter back, and save yourself from annoying yourself all day here.
It was as if he was pestering Yang Xiaoou's daughter.
"Kaizi, are you all together?"
"Report to the regiment commander, all the soldiers of the 388th Regiment are collectively on standby."
"Good!"
Han Xin nodded, and said in a low voice: "Kaizi, that troublesome woman is gone!"
"Well, the expenditure went!" Wu Kai patted his chest and assured that he naturally knew the seriousness of this matter, and this time he did not violate the law again.
Wu Kai's words fell, and Han Xin was obviously relieved, to be honest, he was really a little afraid of this troublesome woman.
"Let's go!"
……
It can be regarded as a mighty group of all the soldiers of the 388th Regiment, nearly 2,000 people, marching towards Xuzhou together.
This time, Yan Xishan was generous and supported Han Xin's truck team, with more than 20 vehicles, to carry the soldiers one by one.
The truck convoy traveled crookedly along some rough roads, driving from morning to evening, before Han Xin gave the order for the soldiers to stop and camp to rest.
After all, the mountain roads are rugged, and some fighters have suffered from motion sickness and vomiting due to physical discomfort, and they must take timely rest.
After a bumpy ride, Han Xin didn't have anything unusual, he began to conduct routine inspections, shuttling back and forth between the soldiers.
"Kaizi!"
Han Xin, who was used to letting Wu Kai fight, shouted, but Wu Kai didn't appear.
This made Han Xin strange, you must know that Wu Kai never left Han Xin in his usual days, and almost replaced Han Xin's work as a guard.
"See your deputy head of the regiment?" Han Xin grabbed a resting warrior and asked.
"The regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander seems to be at the very end!"
Han Xin held doubts and marched towards the tail of the troops.
From afar, Han Xin saw a body as majestic as Wu Kai bending over and slapping another warrior on the back.
There is no doubt that this person is Wu Kai.
Han Xin approached without making a sound, and suddenly heard the conversation between Wu Kai and the warrior who was vomiting and leaking.
...... "You, why did you come along?" ”
"Wow, wow...... Ha, unexpected! I wondered how surprised he must have been when he saw me! ”
"I'm afraid there is no surprise, I will be shocked!"
"What did you say?"
"Ahh......h
Just when the two of you are talking to me.
Han Xin had also quietly walked to Wu Kai's side.
It stands to reason that Wu Kai, as a deputy regiment commander, should not and does not need to serve an ordinary soldier so dedicatedly.
So Han Xin became more and more curious about the identity of the warrior who was vomiting.
As he approached, the words of the warrior who vomited up and down were a little slurred, and they sounded strange, and they couldn't distinguish between men and women for a while.
Han Xin tried to pat "him" on the shoulder, and when he felt a stiffness in his hand, he asked, "Comrade, are you okay?"
…… Then, he turned around with a haggard and thrilling beautiful face, but the so-called surprise did not see half of Han Xin's face.
Even in an instant, the shock on Han Xin's face turned into anger again, really, why did this troublesome woman come again, and she disguised herself as a man and blended into the ordinary soldiers of the 388th Regiment.
"Aren't you fooling around? Walk! I'll order you to be sent back now!" ”
"No, you, you let go of me!"
Han Xin's anger seemed to make Yang Yiling a little cowardly, but this cowardice quickly disappeared from his gaze.
"You, why do you care about me? I'm not your big soldier! ”
"Kaizi, what's going on? Didn't I already ask you to get rid of him! ”
Wu Kai was shot while lying down, and said with a face full of grievances: "Leader, the conscience of heaven and earth, I really deceived Miss Yang...... It's gone, who knows......"
"Hmph, you are stupid and blame others, didn't you say that you were going to Xuzhou when you went to Commander Yang Sen for a drink last time! They tried to leave me behind, but there was no door. ”
"Huh!"
Han Xin slapped his forehead violently, and suddenly remembered this stubble.
