"Yo Xi, Zhao Cheng, you do a good job! There are big golden tickets, and there are big women! The devil officer in charge of recording happily patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder to express encouragement, and then quickly went out to report to the detachment leader Itagaki Daisa!

Seishiro Itagaki looked at the telegram he had just received, and was overjoyed. It's a promotion order. The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Muto Nobuyoshi, reported to the military department and promoted Seishiro Itagaki to major general of the Japanese Army! From today onwards, Itagaki Daisa will become Itagaki General!

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!" The other big Zuo next to him couldn't hide the envy on his face. This is the wing commander of the hardcover infantry wing of the 10th Division, Onodera Ryonori.

Ten minutes ago, the two of them were still Dazuo, although there was a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but they were still equal in rank. Onodera Osa can also talk to Seishiro Itagaki calmly. But now that he is a general, Onodera Ryonori has to pay attention to an attitude problem when talking to Seishiro Itagaki again.

His Excellency Itagaki really has the ability, this is the first day he has come to Shaling, and he has been promoted to general without even fighting a small battle! Where can ordinary people do such a promotion speed?

"Well, Onodera-kun, please don't say such things. Although I have now been promoted to major general, the friendship between the two of us is still there, and you are still my comrade-in-arms who fought together! The military department's promotion of me to major general is precisely because we have seen the importance of the battle in Shaling, and we must fight this battle well and not give the volunteers in Shaling any chance to win! ”

Itagaki Seishiro once served as a brigade staff officer and an adjutant of the division headquarters in the 10th Division, although it was not for a long time, after all, it could be regarded as a deceased master. He had a good impression of this wing from the 10th Division, and even the captain of the wing, Onodera Liangnori.

"Hey! Onodera will fully cooperate with His Excellency the Shogun! Onodera Osataki saluted. The upper and lower ranks in the Japanese army are very high-level, and what Seishiro Itagaki said was very polite, but Onodera and two noritories did not dare to be the slightest disrespectful.

At this moment, the guard at the gate came in to report that Lieutenant Tenjiro had something important to ask to see General Itagaki.

"Let him in!" Seishiro Itagaki waved his hand, sat there and straightened his waist, "Onodera-kun, let's sit down together and see what Naritenjiro has to gain." ”

"Hey!" Onodera nodded in agreement but didn't dare to sit next to General Itagaki , he stood on the side with a sword, and the relationship between his superiors and subordinates was undoubtedly revealed.

After the guards went out, a young Japanese officer came in from outside the door, this was the third devil who had just interrogated Zhao Cheng, Cheng Tianjiro, with a deputy lieutenant epaulette on his shoulder. Lieutenant Cheng Tian is here to report the good news to General Itagaki!

For Seita Jiro, who was pulled up by himself, Seishiro Itagaki had no need to be polite at all, and when they met, they directly asked Seita Jiro what was the matter.

Seishiro Itagaki was a subordinate promoted by Seishiro Itagaki after he came to the Kwantung Army as a senior staff member, and was skilled in intelligence gathering and torture to extract confessions. After Seishiro Itagaki received the order to attack the sand ridge, he let his group of spy agents go out with the troops. For the Volunteers, who are still in their infancy, spies and spies may be able to achieve unexpected gains.

Sure enough, the news reported by Seishiro Itagaki was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that he would come to the door on the first day of his arrival in Shaling!

"Yo Sai, Kojiro, you're doing a great job! Bring that one named Zhao Cheng here, and I'm going to talk to him personally. You continue to spy on the Sand Ridge Volunteers. Now that the war is about to begin, any enemy intelligence will be useful to us! ”

"Hey!" Naritamajiro agreed loudly, turned around and ran out.

"Onodera-kun, it's almost time, let's start doing it too. I led Yamazaki, Nakamura, and Saito, and the three brigades attacked Jiutaizi Village, and you led the wing to attack the North Stick Pass. Remember, keep the radio open and listen to my orders at all times! ”

"Hey!" With Onodera's two promises, this Battle of Sand Ridge officially began! More than 4,000 Japanese troops led by Seishiro Itagaki launched a large-scale attack on Shaling Town in two directions under the cover of tanks and planes!

Hu Fei did not participate in the battles at the beginning of the Battle of Shaling, he was responsible for the security and vigilance in the town. Zhang Haitian and the other three commanders had already arranged the brigade of the Volunteers to the outskirts of the town. The town of Shaling is where the volunteers live and work, their relatives and families are in the town, and it is the way the volunteers must fight against the enemy outside the country.

A battle for the survival of the Volunteers has unfolded vigorously on the outskirts of Sand Ridge Town! Shells flew all over the sky, bullets rained down, and the volunteer soldiers had to suffer dozens or hundreds of casualties every moment.

Although the battle was extremely difficult, the heroic volunteers did not have the slightest fear. In the face of a ferocious enemy, the volunteers rushed to the battlefield one after another. One charge was repulsed, and another followed. Airplanes in the sky are bombing in turns, and tanks and combat vehicles are rampage underground. The warriors fought to the death with rudimentary weapons and flesh and blood against all evil enemies.

The warriors are not afraid of death, and the warriors are willing to fight with the devil to the last drop of blood! However, the three Volunteers commanders who were commanders could not do so. As the commander of this unit, it is necessary and obligatory for them to keep this anti-Japanese fire unextinguished and keep this anti-Japanese armed force unextinguished!

The three commanders, Zhang Haitian, Xiang Qingshan, and Gai Zhonghua, saw very clearly that with the current strength of the volunteers, it was almost an impossible task to defeat this Japanese army with two wings and 4,000 men!

The enemy is very strong, but his own troops can't fight with the devils. What to do? The three of them gathered around to discuss, and the only way was to transfer! First of all, the family members and materials of Shaling Town were transferred to Wanghai Mountain! It is the nest that their volunteer army has been operating for many years, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and some are hiding places!

As long as he arrives on the mountain, Zhang Haitian has a way to deal with the devil. Even if he has been fighting for ten or twenty years, he is not afraid!

Who is responsible for the transfer of family members and supplies? Of course it's Hu Fei, he's the garrison commander of Shaling Town! Let Hu Fei lead the seven aunts and eight aunts, carrying pots and pots and cans to transfer, it is definitely the best choice. Only when Hu Fei transferred his family and materials, Zhang Haitian and them had no worries, so that they could go out of their way and fight to the death with the devil!

After Hu Fei received the order, he began to organize the evacuation of the people without the slightest hesitation! Withdrawing the people and military supplies from the town is a big deal, and nothing can be more important than this! It's not easy for the people to evacuate, there are those who have lived in the town all their lives and are hard to leave, and they just don't leave when they sit at home! Hu Fei was so anxious that his head was about to smoke!
