Chapter Twenty-Three: The Japanese Army Strikes
Just when Ye Zhengjun and Chu Jian stopped fighting, among the attack corps sent by Yoshio Shinozuka, Yamada Tsuneta Nakasa, who set out from Yuecheng, led the troops to arrive at the established assembly place first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Nakasa, our army is only 15 kilometers away from the Chinese army, and the engineer team is building forward fortifications."
In the temporary command post where the tent was erected, a Japanese staff officer was reporting to Tsuneta Yamada on the situation of the troops.
"Abandon the construction of fortifications, and order the 1st and 2nd brigades to attack the Chinese army at once, and tell them to strive at all costs to enter Yang Village before the arrival of the troops behind." Tsuneta Yamada said, looking at the map.
"But Nakasa, our army has been ordered to build fortifications on the spot and wait for the arrival of the troops of Major General Obaov and Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa." Said the staff.
"Baga, I am the supreme commander of the unit, I will carry out the order immediately, and I will do what I explain." Tsuneta Yamada raised his eyebrows angrily and shouted.
"Hey, my subordinates will do it immediately."
After the scolded staff replied, he turned around and left the command post, and Yamada Tsuneta raised his head to look ahead after the other party left, and muttered, "The day when Ye Zhengjun's head is taken down and promoted is just around the corner." ”
。。。。。。
At the moment when Yamada Tsuneta gave the order, Chu Jian led Ye Zhengjun and the three to the reception room of the 358th Regiment.
After a soldier left with tea, the former spread his right hand and said, "Brother Zhengjun, please drink tea." ”
"Captain Chu is really good at living!" Ye Zhengjun took a look at the guest room and then served the "Sancai Bowl" that served tea, dialed the tea leaves on the noodles, and said.
In fact, not to mention Ye Zhengjun, even Huzi and Li Jinrui, who were standing behind him as guards, also felt that the layout of the guest room was full of elegance.
"Brother laughs, the former head of this reception room has placed it, and the contemptible person has just taken office and will have time to dismantle it in the future." Chu Jian took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Commander Chu, Ye Zhengjun is on a mission and will get straight to the point here, I hope you can agree to this request."
Ye Zhengjun, who was concerned about the safety of Yang Village, took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and went straight to the point.
"Brother Zhengjun, just say anything, contemptible people like cheerful people." Chu Jian said.
"Commander Chu, since you know Ye, you must have read the telegram in clear code, and you already know that the transportation line from Yang Village to Xuzhou has been recovered by our army and is now being defended, but this transportation line is the fastest route from Shanxi to Xuzhou, and the devil will inevitably counterattack violently, so I hope that Commander Chu can give some artillery support to block the enemy in Yuncheng and relieve some pressure on our army." Seeing this, Ye Zhengjun immediately expressed his intentions.
"This..." Chu Jian was stunned when he heard this, as the commander of the Jin Army, he clearly knew that Commander Yan had repeatedly ordered that he must be authorized to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in combat, otherwise he could not use a single shot or bullet.
"What, what's the difficulty of Head Chu?"
Ye Zhengjun, as a traverser, naturally knew why the other party wanted to stop talking, but he couldn't show it at the moment, after all, this was a secret order of the national army, if he knew everything, he would be regarded as a spy, so he could only ask knowingly.
"Brother Zhengjun, Chu doesn't hide it from you, when the contemptible people took over the troops, they were given a death order by Shangfeng to rectify, if you want to move troops to fight, you need to ask the above for instructions, or you wait here for a while, I will immediately go to Shangfeng to take a telegram and ask for instructions." Chu Jian naturally couldn't tell the truth, and after some consideration, he lied.
"Then there is Captain Lao Chu." Ye Zhengjun saw that the other party did not say anything to death, so he nodded.
"The brother of the Zhengjun is here for a while, and the contemptible people will come when they go." Chu Jian immediately left the sofa and walked out of the reception room.
。。。。。。
Chu Jian had just left the reception room, and on the other side, Yamada Tsuneta's first and second brigades had already approached the pass guarded by Ye Yi's troops.
"Commander, the devil is here, are you fighting?" The commander of the first battalion touched Ye Yichang's side and asked.
"Wait, let the devil get closer, and tell the troops when to start fighting, with the sound of my gunfire as a signal." Ye Yi often said.
"Okay!" The commander of the first battalion nodded and left.
"Usually, our troops are likely to suffer heavy losses this time." Political Commissar Chen looked at the Japanese troops who were slowly advancing not far away, and said with a bitter face.
"That can't be helped, the boss said that we must buy time for the troops behind to reach the front line." Ye Yi often used a mirror box to put on the brim of his hat, but in fact, he didn't want to fight such a strategic vanguard.
This is because such a battle is completely disregarded for casualties and is subordinated to strategic objectives, and there is no tactical change, all of which are stubborn defenses or strong attacks, and fighting such a battle will cause a huge drain on the effective strength of the troops.
Many troops have to rest for a year or more to recover after a single fight.
"Eh, the small army has finally saved up for our troops, and I can't say that this battle has to be folded here." Political Commissar Chen said with a look of regret.
Ye Zhengjun patted the other party's shoulder when he saw the appearance of his old comrade-in-arms, smiled and said
"It's okay, anyway, that kid loves to toss, as long as this battle lasts, Lao Tzu will urge him to get equipment if he is fine, and the combat effectiveness of our troops will still not fall at that time."
"Speaking of equipment, Lao Tzu forgot to tell Xiaojun about the watch." Political Commissar Chen suddenly thought of the previous watch, and patted his head and said.
"That kid has already prepared it for you, not only watches, but also pens and notebooks are all in Lao Tzu's place." Ye Yi often said.
"Hey, why did Xiaojun put you with what he gave me." When Political Commissar Chen heard this, he was immediately displeased.
"Hey, what's the relationship between the two of us, what's yours is mine." Ye Yichang blinked and said.
", what is mine is yours, that's Lao Tzu, when this battle is over, you will send things to Lao Tzu immediately." Political Commissar Chen said.
"Alright, my old fellow, let's talk about it after the battle." After Ye Yi often waved his hand at the other party, he looked at the Japanese army in front of him who was gradually approaching, his face was stunned, and he shouted in a low voice, "All are ready to fight!" ”
As soon as the order was given, the fighters immediately pulled the bolts and prepared for battle.
"Hit!" After Ye Zhengjun got closer to the devil for another 50 meters, he waved his big hand, and the mirror box in his hand took the lead in firing.
Bang, bang, bang, da, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, all kinds of gunshots were endless, playing the music of death.
。。。。。。
"Boss, Captain Ye, they have already exchanged fire with the devils." Not long after Ye Yichang exchanged fire with the devils here, the communication soldiers reported the battle situation to Mr. Peng in the advancing base.
"Got it, go get busy with you." Mr. Peng looked at the map and said without raising his head.
"Yes!" The Signal Corps immediately followed suit.
。。。。。。
The battle was raging in the direction of Yangcun, and Ye Zhengjun, who was in Kongjiayu, also ushered in Chu Jian, who had finished shooting the telegram.
In fact, Chu Jian didn't go to shoot a telegram, at this time, almost all the troops at the level of the Chinese Revolutionary Corps had the right to use troops independently, and he just used this as an excuse to have some brief discussions with the regimental staff officers in the war room.
The theme was, of course, whether to give artillery support to the Eighth Route Army, and in the end, Chu Jian made the decision to support 24 hours after various trade-offs.
"Brother Zhengjun, I received a call back from Shangfeng in the Second War Zone, ordering my 358th Regiment to support your army for 24 hours." Chu Jian said immediately after walking into the reception room.
Something is better than nothing, Ye Zhengjun smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Then Ye Mou is here, thank you Commander Chu first." ”
"Where, where, it's all friendly troops, and it's an honor for Chu to be able to fight side by side with heroes like the Zhengjun brothers." Chu Jian said politely.
"It's good to say, it's easy to say, since Commander Chu promised artillery support, the regular army will no longer disturb it, so I will leave." Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ye Zhengjun immediately got up and said goodbye.
"Someone!" Chu Jian saw that the other party was leaving, and immediately yelled at the door.
"Commander, what's the matter?" Soon, an orderly trotted into the reception room with the voice and asked.
"Go and prepare three fast horses and send the Zhengjun brothers away." Chu Jian immediately said.
"Okay!" The orderly nodded, and immediately turned to leave.
Seeing that the other party was so bold, Ye Zhengjun not only gave artillery support but also gave three fast horses, and instantly felt that Chu Jian was not bad, and immediately said, "Thank you Commander Chu for giving the horse, today's grace, the regular army will repay it in the future." ”
"What's the point of worrying about trivial matters, Brother Zhengjun, we'll have a meeting later!" Chu Jian arched his hand and smiled.
"Head Chu, there will be a period later." After Ye Zhengjun returned the salute, he walked out of the door of the reception room with Li Jinrui and Huzi.
