On this day, Zhang Lei talked with Lynch, Chao Ying, Qiu Yidan, and Wang Yueying at the military headquarters to discuss the matter of sending Qiu Yidan to Hangzhou.

Zhang Lei said: "Gu Wei's silk shop is running smoothly and has been able to open. Qiu Yidan can go over, we have to arrange someone to escort Qiu Yidan for a ride, who do you think is more appropriate to escort? ”

Chao Ying smiled and said, "I brought the Chao Meng team to escort it!" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Okay!" But be careful on the road. ”

Zhang Lei, Lin Qi, and Wang Yueying personally sent Qiu Yidan, Chao Ying and Chao Meng's team for a long way before returning.

After Zhang Lei returned to the military headquarters, he had just sat down to drink tea in the office when Lu Wenjie, chief of staff of the army, came, and he said: "According to reconnaissance, Shengzhou has just transferred a brigade of Japanese invaders and a division of the Imperial Cooperative Army. What are we going to do? The pressure on us has escalated, and we have to adjust our military deployment. ”

Zhang Lei said: "The combat command room will discuss. ”

Lu Wenjie, chief of staff of the army, said while inserting a banner representing the Japanese invaders and the imperial allied army: "The Japanese invaders transferred this time are armored brigades, the elite of the elite, and our two divisions are extremely difficult to deal with. The strength of a division of the Imperial Allied Army is slightly weaker, but it should not be underestimated. The communication between the Huiji Mountains and our side was cut off, and if the Japanese invaded the Huiji Mountains, our two regiments would not be able to hold it. ”

Zhang Lei stared at Shengzhou, nodded and said, "The armored forces are attacking Huiji Mountain, we don't have to worry about anything?" Tanks and ironclad vehicles can't drive into the mountains! Our two regiments had already built strong fortifications, and there was no problem in holding them for a week. It really couldn't stand it, so he withdrew in the direction of Ningbo, entered the territory of the New Fourth Army, and moved closer to Taizhou. On our side, we dug anti-tank trenches on flat ground, used one regiment to contain the Japanese invaders, and the other regiments retreated to the mountains, built fortifications, and moved the two artillery regiments forward, preparing to attack the invading Japanese invaders. ”

Lu Wenjie, the chief of staff of the army, asked worriedly: "In case of a strong attack by the Japanese invaders, we have no weapons to destroy the Japanese tanks!" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "The Japanese invaders have just arrived, and it is impossible to launch an attack immediately, so let's observe first." Tanks and ironclad vehicles are not so strong that they have no weapons to destroy, and my Einsatzgruppen is fully capable of destroying them, and the mountain artillery of two regiments is enough for a Japanese armored vehicle to drink. Rest assured! As I said, adjust the deployment. If the Japanese armored forces dared to attack, I asked the special forces and artillery regiments to resolutely and completely destroy the invading enemy. ”

Lu Wenjie, chief of staff of the army, whispered: "In this way, our original offensive deployment will be transformed into a defensive deployment. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "This time and that time! An armored brigade is not a trivial matter, how many such brigades does the Japanese 13th Army have? Not much! It can be seen that the Japanese invaders have spent a lot of money preparing to defend Shengzhou, as I just said, it is not that we do not have the ability to destroy the tanks, we are just waiting for the opportunity and do not want to do it immediately. Report on the new situation facing us at the headquarters of the commander of the Third Theater, and let the Third Theater know that the contribution we have made to the Third Theater is that if this armored brigade were to go to other regions, I don't think they would have deployed in an orderly manner like us and calmly dealt with it, but would have retreated in a hurry. ”

In the reception room, Zhang Lei said to Lynch: "The special task force has strengthened reconnaissance activities to find out the specific deployment of the Japanese armored brigade and the Imperial Allied Army. After ascertaining the deployment of the Japanese invaders, the special task force should be prepared to strike at the Japanese armored vehicles. ”

Lynch nodded and said, "Okay!" I asked Zhou Yong's team to disguise themselves as ordinary people to go to reconnoitre. ”

Zhang Lei said to Zhang Liangen: "Do a good job in protecting the military headquarters to prevent the Japanese spies from sneaking attack." ”

Zhang Liangen nodded and said, "Yes!" I'll arrange it right away. ”

Zhang Lei and the army chief of staff Lu Wenjie, division commander Tang Jian, division commander Du Xuanyu, captain Lin Qi, and company commander Zhang Liangen and their entourage approached the Japanese blockade line at night and observed with binoculars.

Zhang Lei said: "There is no sign of a large-scale attack by the Japanese invaders, and your unit, Commander Tang, must find a way to get in touch with the Huiji Mountains, and the transportation line in Shengzhou is extremely long, and I think it is impossible for the armored brigade to be completely blocked, and we can maintain a continuous supply of logistics and ammunition." ”

Senior Tang Jian nodded and said, "It's just a little more troublesome to supply than before, I don't think there is a problem." ”

Zhang Lei asked Du Xuanyu: "Is there any new movement in the mining area?" ”

Master Du Xuanyu smiled and said: "No, I don't dare to let the whole group practice, and if I use the whole group to practice, the Japanese will definitely not be able to withstand it." ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "It seems that the Japanese invaders have decided to completely abandon the mining area, and since there are more powerful Japanese invaders here, we will drive the Japanese invaders away from the mining area." From tomorrow, a regiment will be arranged to intensify offensive exercises and force the Japanese in the mining area to escape. ”

Master Du Xuanyu asked, "Do you want to set up an ambush for the fleeing Japanese invaders?" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "Those who escaped are only small fish and shrimp, and recovering the mining area is a big victory for us." After the mining area was recovered, two regiments were arranged to be stationed to prevent the Japanese invaders in Jinhua from attacking. The other regiments moved to the direction of Shengzhou with all their strength and pressed the enemy in Shengzhou. ”

Master Du Xuanyu nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhang Lei observed very late at the front before returning to the military headquarters.

Before dawn, Chao Ying returned to the military headquarters.

When Chao Ying came back, Zhang Lei was very happy and hugged her tightly.

While sleeping, Chao Ying whispered, "Honey, I'm sick. ”

Zhang Lei was startled and asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Chao Ying whispered, "Bleeding down there." ”

Zhang Lei made a fuss and whispered, "You must see a doctor quickly." ”

How can Zhang Lei still feel sleepy? Immediately woke up Chao Ying's guards and personally helped Chao Ying to the division hospital.

After the female military doctor examined it, she said to Zhang Lei: "Commander, Captain Chao is pregnant, may be too tired, has fetal gas, and must be hospitalized to protect the fetus." ”

Zhang Lei's eyes widened and he asked, "Will the child be okay?" ”

The female military doctor shook her head and said, "Under normal circumstances, it can be saved through treatment. Captain Nest is in good health, but if he changes someone else, the child is long gone. ”

Zhang Lei sighed heavily and said: "We must ensure the safety of the mother and child at all costs." ”

In the ward, Chao Ying was lying on the bed hanging water, Zhang Lei sat on the stool next to the bed, held Chao Ying's hand, looked at Chao Ying's eyes, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I was too careless and careless." ”

Chao Ying smiled and said: "I don't blame you, I didn't realize it, the doctor said, just have fetal gas, rest for a few days, and it will be fine." ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Sleep well, I'll accompany you." ”

Chao Ying closed his eyes and went to sleep, and Zhang Lei said to Chao Ying's guards: "You go back to sleep, leave it to me here." ”

The Chaoying guards refused to go back, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Go back and rest, you two will be on duty." ”

Zhang Lei kept holding Chao Ying's hand until Chao Ying slept soundly, then he stood up and stretched at the door of the ward.

Wang Yueying came and whispered: "Gao Dazhong's adjutant called Niu Zijian to come, and he said that he wanted to see you." ”

Zhang Lei frowned and said, "This dog day is not staying at the Hangzhou Headquarters, what are you doing here?" ”

Wang Yueying said: "I don't know, he may have followed the division of the Imperial Army." ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Chao Ying's hospitalization can't be known to outsiders, and I'm here, and I can't let outsiders know." You tell him that I am planning to eliminate the Japanese armored brigade, and I will only have time to see him in the afternoon. ”

Wang Yueying nodded and said, "Then I'll arrange someone to let him rest for a while, and I'll talk about it when you return to the military headquarters." ”

At noon, Chao Ying's two guards arrived, and Chao Ying also woke up at this time.

A female military doctor came over to measure Chaoying's blood pressure, take her pulse, and check her lower body.

The female military doctor said to Zhang Lei: "Commander, Captain Chao's condition is very stable, and it is estimated that he will recover within three days." ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Thank you!" Good work! ”

The female military doctor smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to see the wife of the military commander." Commander, go back and rest! Captain Nest has passed the danger period. ”

Zhang Lei came to the hospital bed and kissed Chao Ying gently, stroked Chao Ying's forehead, and said with a smile: "You are usually too reckless, if you don't escort Qiu Yidan this time, how can there be such a thing?" ”

Chao Ying smiled and said: "A large number of troops suddenly came from the Japanese invaders, I have taken too many detours, if your son has any problems, you have to blame little Japan, you can't blame me." ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "It's too late for me to feel sorry for you, how can I blame you?" The little devil is really hateful, almost hurt you and my son, I promise that one day in the future, the little devil will not be able to eat, and he will walk around. The military department still has something to do, and I'm going to go over to do something. ”

Chao Ying nodded and said, "Thank you for being with me for so long, you can go!" Rest assured, I feel better. ”

After Zhang Lei returned to the office, he said to Wang Yueying: "Go and call that traitor." ”

Wang Yueying said loudly: "Yes! ”
