"For the Japanese army, the Battle of Xuzhou is a strategic idea for them to destroy our living forces and connect the North China and Central China fronts, but at the same time, it is also our opportunity!"

"We can also take this opportunity to strike hard at the Japanese army, give the little devils a heavy price, deal a hard blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, and even inflict heavy losses on the battlefield, it is not impossible!"

Chen Qingzhi said in a deep voice. After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the officers present.

At this time, all the people present were shocked by Chen Qingzhi's analysis.

If it is really as the brigade said, then this battle of Xuzhou may be the first chance for their Republic of China to defeat the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but tremble and get excited!

"Brigade, if according to what you said, the battlefield in our south is not only not easy, but it is still important?" Fang Xiaodong asked.

"Not bad!" Chen Qingzhi looked at Fang Xiaodong, bowed slightly, and agreed with Fang Xiaodong's point-to-point question.

After a pause, he continued: "The Japanese army in the south is inferior to the Japanese army in the north in terms of strength, so if you want to win the battle of Xuzhou, you must first intercept the Japanese army in the south on the south bank of the Huai River, firmly contain them, and then mobilize heavy troops, wave your army north, and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the north!" ”

"Only in this way can we have the possibility of victory!"

Hearing Chen Qingzhi's answer, everyone was excited and couldn't help themselves.

If the Battle of Xuzhou really won, it would be an unprecedented opportunity for their Republic of China to defeat the Japanese army head-on in a large-scale battle, which will greatly encourage the people's anti-Japanese sentiment!

Thinking of this, Wang Yachuan said impatiently: "Luzao, give an order quickly, how to fight, we will listen to you!" This time, our independent brigade must do a good job of his little devil! ”

"That's right! Give the brigade an order! ”

"him hard, let the little devil know how powerful our independent brigade is!"

The officers present all shouted excitedly.

"The specific battle plan needs to wait for us to arrive in Dingyuan before it can be arranged, for now, we will first follow the orders of the upper peak, arrive in Dingyuan as soon as possible, and then make a plan according to the situation!"

"But I want to emphasize one thing, this battle is very important, I only hope that you can work together to play the prestige of our independent brigade!" Chen Qingzhi said: "If anyone pulls me off the chain on the battlefield, don't blame me for not being merciful when the time comes!" ”

"Don't worry, Ryoza!" Hearing this, Wang Yachuan immediately said: "I promise that there is no problem!" ”

"I'm not worried about the others, it's mainly you! There is no one on a normal day, but if you give me a problem this time, I won't punish you well! ”

"Luzao, others don't dare to say it, if something goes wrong with our three regiments, you don't need to say it, I'll screw off my head for you myself!" Hearing Chen Qingzhi say this, Wang Yachuan was anxious and immediately issued a military order.

"What do I want your head for, it's hard to be a urinal!" Chen Qingzhi said angrily.

"Hahaha......"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and there was a hint of ridicule in their eyes when they looked at Wang Yachuan. This caused Wang Yachuan to make a big red face.

"That's it!" Chen Qingzhi waved his hand to interrupt their laughter, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is the first battle in the real sense since the establishment of our independent brigade, I hope you can play a twelve-point energy, unite as one, unite as one, strike hard at the Japanese invaders, and play the prestige of our independent brigade!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up straight, and said in unison with solemn faces.

"Okay, you all go back to gather the troops, let the soldiers prepare and prepare, and tomorrow morning, the troops will be drawn and rush to Dingyuan!" Chen Qingzhi saluted back to everyone present and said loudly.

……

Soon, when the day's training mission was completed, the commanders of each regiment had already announced to the soldiers that the troops were going to leave the battlefield.

Knowing that the troops were finally going to the battlefield, all the soldiers were excited, and they all said excitedly that this time they must kill the little devils to avenge the tragic death of the villagers in Nanjing.

Seeing this scene, several regiment leaders were slightly relieved.

For the battle, the soldiers not only did not resist, but even had a high will to fight, which is good news for the troops!

The soldiers were told to prepare for an early rest after dinner, but the soldiers were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and even whispered in their dormitories.

If it were in normal times, the officers on patrol would definitely be pulled out and punished severely, but today they didn't care about it and turned a blind eye.

After all, on the eve of the war, let the soldiers vent their emotions, which can be a good way to relieve the tension of the recruits.

In such an atmosphere, the next day, when the troops set off, basically all the soldiers came out with black circles under their eyes, but all the soldiers were very energetic.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

They're still a bunch of recruits!

It's already good if a recruit can not be nervous or timid on the eve of a big war, what else can he ask for?

Now they don't know the cruelty of war, and after they participate in a few big wars, maybe they will understand!

War is definitely not child's play!

"Brigade seat, the troops have been assembled, please show the brigade seat!" At this time, Fang Xiaodong, the head of the regiment, suddenly ran in front of Chen Qingzhi, stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly.

Chen Qingzhi looked at the playground, all the soldiers had already lined up to fight, all the weapons and ammunition were ready to go, and he nodded with satisfaction, and then directly recovered, and shouted loudly: "Independent Brigade, go!" ”

With an order, the troops began to set off, and the team of more than 8,000 people meandered into a long dragon.

All the fighters carried rifles, and from time to time a few fighters could be seen in the ranks with heavy machine guns, and some fighters carried small-caliber mortars and grenadiers on their backs.

At the back of the line, a horse-drawn cannon pointed diagonally at the sky, shining in the sunlight with a cold glow.

When he was about to walk out of the boundary of Qingyuan County, he saw a large number of people gathered on the road ahead.

Chen Qingzhi drove his horse forward, and only then did he see that it was the people of Qingyuan County who had come to bid farewell to the Independent Brigade, and at the front of the crowd was Liu Zhi'an, the county magistrate of Qingyuan County.

Seeing Chen Qing coming, Liu Zhian stepped forward and said with a smile: "Chief Chen! ”

"What are you?" Chen Qingzhi asked with some puzzlement.

"These are the people who have come to see you off on their own to the battlefield, and they want to send off the soldiers of your independent brigade!" Liu Zhian said.

"Since the Independent Brigade came to Qingyuan County, it has not made an inch, how can He De let so many people get a farewell, it's really ashamed!" Chen Qingzhi shook his head and said.

"Chief Chen's words are wrong, since the Independent Brigade came to our Qingyuan County, not only shot Hei Kui, the bully, but also wiped out the Luo Qingzhai bandits in Qingyuan County, and rescued the people from fire and water, how can you not thank you for such a great favor?"

Liu Zhian said: "What's more, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade are basically young and middle-aged people in Qingyuan County, and when they learn that the troops are going to open the battlefield, the old fathers and mothers, wives and children of the new soldiers will naturally come to send them off!" After going to the battlefield, life and death are not up to them, they don't come to send them, who knows if they will see them again in the future! ”

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi also sighed.
