Zhang Mingyu and Liu Cheng walked out of the headquarters one after the other, and some soldiers had already driven the jeep, and the two got into the car one after another, and then the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep drove away.

In Fucheng County, Niu Tiangui was playing with Yangcheng Saburo's major general's command knife in his hand, and sat on Yangcheng Saburo's office chair with a squint, squinting and squinting, and suddenly a guard strode in, and said with a straight face: "The brigade seat, the general seat, the staff seat and the division seat are here." ”

"Huh?" Niu Tiangui jumped up, and at this time, Zhang Mingyu strode in under the embrace of Liu Cheng and Zhang Biao, Niu Tiangui hurriedly saluted: "I don't know the main seat!" Sitting! The division is here! The old cow has lost the distance and hopes to forgive the sins. ”

"Okay old cow, isn't the big word of the bean a basket don't give me the whole article there, where is the major general of the army you captured? Take a look at the main seat. Zhang Biao waved his hand and said impatiently.

"The knife is here, and the brothers have been pressed into the county jail!" Niu Tiangui said and handed over the knife in his hand.

Zhang Mingyu took the general's knife, looked at it for a moment, and then handed the general's knife to Niu Tiangui, nodded and said: "It is indeed a general's knife, and the soldiers are ordered to strictly guard this major general of the army, not to let him commit suicide, and to give him the least humane treatment!" ”

"Isn't it just a little devil, is it necessary?" Niu Tiangui asked puzzled.

"Yes! Go back and ask the Propaganda Department to send people to talk to him more, take some photos and then drop them on the position of the army, I believe that the little devil will definitely suffer a big blow to his morale after seeing this! Zhang Mingyu said with a relaxed expression.

"Oh!" Niu Tiangui nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the humble guarantee that he will not die!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "Order the troops to rest a little, and continue to go north tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Biao, Niu Tiangui and others suddenly closed themselves and stood on the right path.

Immediately, Zhang Mingyu returned to the headquarters with Liu Cheng, and Zhang Mingyu turned around and asked, "Chief of Staff, how is the progress of the Second Division?" ”

"Back to the main seat! At present, Texas has not yet been defeated, and the land-based aviation of the army has dispatched fighters to assist the Texas army in defending the city, so the progress of the second division is a little slow, and now the situation on the third division side is acceptable, is it not for the air force to support the second division? Liu Cheng asked as he answered.

"Well, you can do it!" Zhang Mingyu nodded when he heard this.

"Yes!" Liu Cheng stood up slightly, and then turned around and left.

……… Cangzhou, known as the Army Garrison Headquarters.

Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake strode in angrily, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "General, Fucheng County is lost, all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade are broken, and the brigade commander, Major General Yangcheng Saburo, is captured alive!" ”

"What?" Okamura Ninji suddenly got up and said awe-inspiringly: "Yangcheng Saburo was captured alive by the Shina? ”

"Yes! A plainclothes team witnessed the scene of Saburo Yangcheng being arrested! Tanabe Moritake bowed his head and said.

"Yaga Yalu!" Okamura Ninji clenched his fists and almost went furious: "The scum of this empire, why didn't he commit suicide by cutting his stomach to thank His Majesty the Emperor, and he was willing to be the prisoner of the pig of the China, which is simply a smear on the face of the emperor [***]!" ”

Tanabe Shengwu did not take advantage of the fire to add oil, but hurriedly persuaded: "General, this matter has happened, don't care, now that the First Infantry Division of the Chinese Army has captured Fucheng, it will soon be time to march to Wuqiang County, and our top priority now should be how to strengthen the garrison of Wuqiang County." ”

"Tanabe-kun, what is the situation in Texas where the 28th Division is stationed now?" Okamura asked solemnly.

"With the cooperation of the air force, everything is normal in Texas at present, the people of China have not dispatched planes, and the 28th Division has repelled at least a dozen attacks by the people of China!" Moritake Tanabe replied.

"Oh! As long as Texas is held, the first division of the Chinese army will be a lone army, and we can deal with it calmly, and now the 26th and 24th divisions plus four mixed brigades have been prepared! Order the troops to immediately go to the front line of Wuqiang County and eliminate the main ace division of the Zhina Army, and then send a telegram to Qi Xieyuan, so that he can resist the attack of the Zhina Army on the Western Front with all his strength, and not take a step back! Okamura Ninji said with a grim expression.

"Hay!" Tanabe Moritake bowed his head suddenly, and then turned around and strode away.

…………… Xiaoning County, the former enemy headquarters of the puppet North China Appeasement Army.

Adjutant Xue Ming strode into Qi Xieyuan's office, and said uprightly: "Commander, [***] agreed." ”

Seeing Xue Ming coming in, Qi Xieyuan hurriedly stood up and said hurriedly, "Agreed?" ”

"Well, I agreed, [***] said that we would be given one night to let us evacuate quietly! But we have to withdraw to Gaoning County and Renqiu area. Xue Ming nodded.

"Oh, it seems that [***] wants us to retreat far away, for fear that we will be stabbed in the back!" Qi Xieyuan thought for a while and said: "Yes, let's not bother to wade into this troubled water, order the troops, all prepare to retreat, and evacuate as soon as it gets dark!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Ming snapped up and stood upright, and was just about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a communications staff officer walked in with a message in his hand, and said with a telegram: "Commander, Adjutant Xue, General Okamura Ningji has sent a telegram, asking us to hold the defensive line, and if we have the opportunity, we must take the opportunity to recover the lost position!" ”

"Oh, got it!" Qi Xieyuan waved his hand and motioned for the communications staff officer to go down.

After seeing the communications staff officer leave, Qi Xieyuan sighed and said: "This battle [***] must be won, otherwise I won't be able to explain where I am." ”

"Commander, it is said that the [***] middle line troops have continuously broken through the defense line of their own number, and it will not be long before they can attack the city of Cangzhou. In fact, it is very simple to want [***] victory, as long as we help them, then [***] is not a 100% victory! Xue Ming said tentatively.

"You are wrong, first of all, the brothers have been bullied by the devils for a long time, and they have witnessed the fighting power of the devils, and some brothers have broken their courage in the face of the devils, where do they dare to fight. Now Okamura Ninji is far from the time to break his muscles and bones.

In the same way, if [***] loses, then we must also seize the opportunity to attack accurately, and it is best to capture a few high-ranking officers of the 42nd Army, so that I can have room for maneuver in front of Okamura Ninji. Qi Xieyuan said indifferently.

"Yes! Humble duty understood. Xue Ming snapped upright, and immediately turned around and gave the order.

……… Raoyang County, the third division station.

Lai Sanzheng was discussing the military situation with Peng Bo and others, and a scout strode in and said, "Report to the division, take a seat!" The puppet army has begun to retreat one after another! ”

"Oh, got it, you go down first!" Bloomberg turned around and said.

After seeing the scout leave, Bloomberg turned around and said, "Master, we can act!" ”

"Hmmm! Immediately send a telegram to Ren Hui of the Second Brigade and ask him to accept the territory immediately! When the puppet army withdraws there, it will receive it. Lai San nodded.

"Chief of Staff, you are fully responsible for the matter of taking over the territory, and the second brigade is under your command to guard against the defection of this kid Qi Xieyuan. I led the main force of the division, the 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade and the Artillery Regiment to attack to the east, and cooperated with the 1st Division to attack Cangzhou! Lai Sandao.

"Hmmm! You can go with confidence! Bloomberg said.

………… The next day, in the early morning, Lai San led the main force of the Third Division to set off early to kill Wuqiang County, and the chief of staff Peng Bo also led the Second Brigade to take the opportunity to go north, Qi Xieyuan led the puppet army to retreat all the way, and Peng Bo also received it all the way, receiving the entire territory of Xiaoning County.

After a short rest, the First Division also launched an attack on Wuqiang County, and the Second Division, with the support of the air force, launched another attack on Dezhou, and gradually gained the upper hand.

Cangzhou. Said Army Garrison Command.

As soon as Okamura Ninji got up, Tanabe Moritake strode in with a heavy face, and suddenly gathered up and said, "General, something is wrong!" Qi Xieyuan, this bastard, actually led his troops to retreat privately, and at present, the western front troops of the Chinese Army have taken Xiaoning County without a single shot, and they are dividing their troops to pounce on Wuqiang County! ”

"Yaga Yalu!" Okamura Ninji was immediately furious when he heard this, and pulled out his command knife and slashed at the corner of his desk, and the sharp saber easily cut off a large part of the corner of the desk.

After venting, Okamura Ningji slowly put the knife into the sheath, and said with a cold expression: "Order the defenders of Wuqiang County to immediately abandon Wuqiang County and withdraw to Cangzhou at full speed, it seems that the location of our decisive battle with Zhang Mingyu should be in Cangzhou!" ”

"General, do you ask General Yoshio Shinozuka to lead the 10th Division from Beiping to destroy the Imperial Alliance led by Qi Xieyuan?" Moritake Tanabe asked.

"Nope! The 10th Division shouldered the important task of guarding Beiping and Tianjin, and could not leave easily. Okamura Ninji waved his hand.

"But general, Qi Xieyuan has already thrown himself into the national political axe, and the imperial army should punish him severely, otherwise where is the power of the imperial army of this empire?" Tanabe Moritake said without giving up.

"Who said he had taken refuge in the country?" Okamura Ninji asked rhetorically.

"The general means he didn't defect?" Tanabe Moritake said puzzled.

"He doesn't have the courage yet, at least he doesn't have the courage to openly rebel against the Imperial Army before we and the Chinese army have a winner!" Okamura Ninji said coldly.

"Hay! Humble duty understood! Moritake Tanabe bowed his head suddenly.

"Order the 24th Division and the 26th Division to be stationed in place and build fortifications. I want to win and lose in Cangzhou and Zhang Mingyu in one fell swoop. Okamura Ninji said thoughtfully.

"Hay!" Tanabe Moritake bowed his head suddenly, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

………… On the outskirts of Wuqiang County, as soon as the guard regiment arrived, a scout rushed back and reported to Xu Wen: "Tuanza, the devils have been evacuated, there is not a single devil soldier in Wuqiang County at present, and the four doors are open!" ”

"What? The devil withdrew? Xu Wen asked in surprise.

"Yes, according to the people, the devils began to retreat in the morning." The Scout nodded back.

"Oh!" Xu Wen nodded and turned around and said, "Immediately send a telegram to the main seat, just say that the devil has fled, and our department has successfully recovered Wuqiang County!" ”

"Yes!" A communications soldier had already left.
