As soon as Liu Ming Sasaburo's words fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the headquarters, and Liu Ming Saburo and Muto Zhang's faces immediately changed slightly, only to see a devil communication soldier striding in in a hurry, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "General, it's not good, I just received a farewell message from the 58th Brigade!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Ming Sazaburo and Muto Zhang immediately changed their voices when they heard this, and Liu Ming Saburo suddenly got up and grabbed the devil communication soldier and roared with disbelief on his face: "Yaga, what are you talking about?" What the hell is going on? ”

"General! The second lieutenant of the 58th Brigade reported in the telegram that the Chinese used powerful land and air fire to bombard, and also used chemical weapons, and the commander of the 58th Brigade, General Yu Zelang, inhaled an excessive dose of mustard surnamed poison gas and died on the spot, under the attack of chemical weapons and powerful firepower of the Chinese people, the warriors of the 58th Brigade suffered heavy casualties, and the despicable Chinese took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, and the warriors resisted desperately, but in the end they were outnumbered, and all the thousands of officers and soldiers under the self-esteemed General Zelang were shattered! The devil messenger replied with a sad expression.

"Yaga Yalu!" Annoyed and angry, Liu Ming Sasaburo slapped the communication soldier in front of him to the ground, and roared angrily: "Damn Zhina, big drop of cunning, Zhang Mingyu, I will break you into ten thousand pieces!" All dripping, dripping, dripping! Just now, he was still swearing to Muto Zhang, and now the information about the loss of Wusheng Pass undoubtedly slapped him hard, so how could Liu Ming Sasaburo not be angry.

"Liu Mingjun!" After hearing the whole story, Muto Zhang had already calmed down and said: "The defeat in this battle is because we didn't think about it, and I never thought that the despicable Shina people would use chemical weapons to attack the warriors of my imperial army. So, now is not the time to hold accountable. ”

"Hay!" When Saburo Yanagi heard this, he immediately lowered his head in shame.

Muto Zhang didn't pay attention to Liu Ming Sazaburo, but stood up and walked up to the communication soldier, and asked in a calm tone: "Are the Pingjing Pass and Jiuli Pass on both sides of Wusheng Pass still in the hands of the imperial army?" ”

"General Hui! Just now, Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass sent urgent telegrams one after another, reporting that Wusheng Pass had been attacked and that they could not get in touch with the 58th Brigade and Regiment Headquarters, and asked the division headquarters for tactical guidance! The signal soldier replied with a sharp bow.

"Yo Xi!" Hearing this, Muto Zhang nodded happily and said, "Order them to abandon Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass, quickly retreat to Guangshui and Yangping, and garrison them on the spot!" ”

"Hay!" The Messenger bowed his head again, and was about to turn away.

"Wait!" Muto Zhang waved his hand to stop the signal soldier, and said thoughtfully: "Send a telegram and inform all divisions and regiments to immediately issue gas masks and anti-poison potions to all subordinate wings and brigades, and the field hospital will be on standby at any time." ”

"Hay!" The devil messenger bowed his head again suddenly, and then gladly took the order and strode away.

……….

Wushengguan, as the last devil communication ensign was seen on the ground, Ma Liqun's whole person immediately shouted excitedly.

"Victorious! We've won! ”

"Victorious! We've won! ”

"We won!"

The hundreds of surviving commandos roared excitedly, raising their steel guns above their heads and cheering to their heart's content.

At this time, Zhang Mingyu strode to the headquarters of the 58th Brigade under the support of Xu Wen and the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment. The commando team successfully completed its mission, and the members of the brigade headquarters of the 58th Brigade and Regiment of the military and local areas were completely wiped out, and none of them escaped the net. ”

"Smack!" Zhang Mingyu saluted abruptly with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Well done!" ”

"It's a pity that the radio station and the secret code book were destroyed by this dog before he died!" Ma Liqun kicked the corpse of the devil lieutenant next to him in frustration.

At this moment, I saw Ling Tianbao, the commander of the Second Division, running over in a hurry, and stood up and said: "General seat, the scouts report that the devils of Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass suddenly abandoned the pass and fled south. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Mingyu was stunned when he heard this, and then said with relief: "Damn, it seems that the little devil's reaction is not slow!" ”

"Total seat! What do we do now? Ling Tianbao asked.

"Send electricity to Wang Tiehan! In addition to Xinyang Airport and important locations in the city to leave the necessary troops to defend, the rest of the troops immediately moved forward to the three passes, as long as the three passes are held, then Xinyang and the whole of Henan will be safe! Zhang Mingyu ordered to one of the attendant adjutants next to him.

"Yes!" The aide-de-camp took quick notes, then snapped to his feet, and quickly turned to leave.

After the attendant adjutant left, Zhang Mingyu turned to Xu Wen and said, "Inform the regiments, quickly clean up the battlefield, and after resting for a while, attack immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Wen stood upright and left quickly.

"Total seat! How do we fight next? There are two shortcuts to Wuhan, one is Guangshui in the west, but to march into Xiaogan, according to intelligence, the devils have arranged heavy guards in both places, it seems that the battle of Wuhan is the real beginning next, and the vicious battle is behind! Ling Tianbao said with a heavy heart, in his opinion, the devil forces in front of him were at least not less than them, and even more than the second division.

This time, Zhang Mingyu handed over the task of attacking Xiangfan to Lai San's third division, and the task of Ling Tianbao's third division was extremely easy, and if his second division really killed all the way to Wuhan, how many people would be left? He didn't have a bottom in his heart.

After all, Ling Tianbao was born as a bandit, and he still had mountaineering and small-peasant ideas in his mind, and when the 42nd Group Army occupied an overwhelming advantage in strength and fought a tailwind battle, there was nothing, but this time the Second Division would face tens of thousands of troops who were waiting for battle.

Therefore, it was purely normal for Ling Tianbao to have such thoughts.

Sensing Ling Tianbao's low mood, Zhang Mingyu did not raise it directly, but said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Vicious battle? Devil elite? Lao Tzu is fighting the elite. Since the day our 42nd Group Army became an army, it fought a bloody battle in Nanjing, then Baoteng County, and advanced into Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. ”

Hearing the meaning of Zhang Mingyu's words, Ling Tianbao couldn't help but be silent and lowered his head slightly.

Zhang Mingyu sighed lightly and said: "Defending the land against the enemy, recovering my mountains and rivers is the duty and duty of my Chinese sons and daughters, even if the horse leather shroud, I am willing to go!" Now the situation seems to be very good, but in fact it is dangerous and hidden, and the slightest carelessness is enough to destroy our China, and then our soldiers will all be slaves of the country! Therefore, even if this battle is extremely dangerous, knowing that it is death, all the officers and men of our 42nd Group Army should bravely take the lead and move forward bravely. ”

"Swear to die rather than be a slave to the country! Defend my China! Restore my rivers and mountains! ”

"Swear to die rather than be a slave to the country! Defend my China! Restore my rivers and mountains! ”

"Swear to die rather than be a slave to the country! Defend my China! Restore my rivers and mountains! ”

Ma Liqun raised his arms and shouted, and the officers and soldiers of the 42nd Group around him immediately shouted in unison.

Zhang Mingyu looked at Ling Tianbao, and sighed in his heart, as the saying goes, no one is perfect, if it is Zhang Biao's first division at this time, his absolute lineage is here, even if there are 100,000 devil elites on the other side, I believe that Zhang Biao's brows will not wrinkle.

This analogy does not mean that the officers and men of the Second Division are afraid of death and have weak combat effectiveness. To paraphrase the old saying, as the saying goes, one soldier will be a nest of bears.

Ling Tianbao personally had the idea of cowardice, which did not mean that the officers and men of the entire Second Division were cowardly. On the contrary, the vast majority of the officers and men of the Second Division, like other divisions, are men who stand up to the sky and the earth, if nothing else, just to be able to drive away the devils and let the people of the whole country live a good life, in order to prevent all future generations from being dogs to the devils, and not to grovel to the devils themselves, these men who are not cold in blood dare to fight with the little devils with the guys in their hands.

There are also people who have such an idea, drive away the little devil, and then go home to marry a delicate mother-in-law, give birth to a lot of babies, and live a happy life with children and grandchildren around their knees.

However, at this time, Zhang Mingyu was not worried at all about what turmoil Ling Tianbao would be able to set off in the Second Division, as early as the beginning of the formation of the Second Division, he had left a hand, and now at least 80% of the people in the Second Division are absolutely controlled by himself.

It's not that Zhang Mingyu doesn't believe in people, as the so-called life is in troubled times, anything can happen, and if you have to leave a way back for yourself, it is the first division of your lineage, and Zhang Mingyu has never relaxed his vigilance.

The words of the great men of later generations are right, if you want to live in troubled times and lead an elite army to kill the enemy and serve the country, the most important premise is to save your own life. And the magic weapon to save his life is to firmly grasp the control of his army.

Even if someone wants to change course in today's 42nd Group Army, it is not so easy, such as Ling Tianbao, if he has different intentions, there will definitely be no more than one regiment that can respond to him, and this regiment is not a whole formed army, so even if he Ling Tianbao has great ability, he will not be able to set off any big waves.

Of course, Ling Tianbao has the idea of cowardice, it does not mean that he wants to rebel, it can only be said that he has the idea of preserving strength, at best, it is a self-centered thought.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Zhang Mingyu immediately said to Ling Tianbao: "Heavenly Leopard! ”

"Yes!" Ling Tianbao snapped forward and said with a solemn expression.

"Order the officers and men of all regiments to carry gas masks and other items with them, and the whole army will be drawn in two hours!" Zhang Mingyu said with an awe-inspiring expression.

"Yes!"

"Ma Liqun will advance the detachment led by you to attack Guangshui, and I will personally lead the second division to attack Xiaogan, and we will advance in both directions, and strive to join the three towns of Wuhan within this month!" Zhang Mingyu immediately ordered Ma Liqun.

"Yes!" Ma Liqun immediately held his chest high, and said loudly with a solemn expression.
