After the railway was opened, the Japanese army accelerated the speed of fighting for Xuzhou, and Lai Wuping also prevented Chen Jiye from ensuring the safety of the railway. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the news of Chen Jiye's recruitment spread, thousands of qualified soldiers were recruited within a few days. The reason why the current soldiers are easy to recruit is mainly because there are too many people fleeing south, and on the other hand, I heard that the treatment of working under Young Master Chen is better, so it will attract so many people to vote.

As soon as the two regiments were recruited, they were expanded into two brigades and then began training.

At the same time, several villages around the three villages heard that Young Master Chen wanted to cover them, and they all cooperated to hand over their villages to Young Master Chen, after all, they had long wanted to be under the jurisdiction of Young Master Chen like the three villages and live a long-awaited good life.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining villages of Zaozhuang, under the leadership of the village chief or clan elder, also fell under the jurisdiction of Chen Jiye, and since then the entire Zaozhuang has been under the control of Chen Jiye. As for the villages around Zaozhuang, Chen Jiye didn't have any extra energy, so he could only postpone it first.

Of course, Zaozhuang still belongs to the occupied area of the little devils on the surface, but secretly it is all under the control of Chen Jiye.

After the entire Zaozhuang was subordinate, Chen Jiye immediately implemented a series of policies.

First of all, Chen Jiye, the favorite land policy of the natural peasants, directly forcibly confiscated the land of the landlords, and then distributed it to the landless and landless people. Although Chen Jiye will also collect taxes, the rent is very low, so the people of Zaozhuang also follow Chen Jiye wholeheartedly, believing that good days will follow one after another like the three villages of Chenjia Village.

Of course, the confiscation of the landlord's land, the major landlords also resisted, but under the threat of Chen Jiye's gun, all the landlords could only obediently consider themselves unlucky.

Of course, there are still some landlords who can't think about it, and they actually stupidly go to Japan * himself for help, but Lai Wuping is busy protecting the safety of the railway, and the lessons of the last time, he has no time to pay attention to these landlords, and in the end Chen Jiye raided their homes, and the collected food and salary are enough for Chen Jiye's subordinates to spend for two months, and no landlord dares to trouble Chen Jiye since then.

After the completion of the land reform, Chen Jiye immediately sent professionals to open up all the tunnels of all the villagers in Zaozhuang to form the entire tunnel network.

Of course, each village also formed a village protection team of dozens of people to protect the safety of the village, and at the same time, it can also be used as Chen Jiye's reserve in the future. As for the captains of the village protection team, they are all brothers who have been disabled in the battles with Chen Jiye over the years. These people have to receive relief money every month, and Chen Jiye can just let them use their spare energy.

At the same time, during this period, many people who fled south with their families stayed behind after learning about the living conditions of the people in Zaozhuang, resulting in a great increase in the population of Zaozhuang.

The increase in population is a good thing for Chen Jiye, at least there will be no problem with the soldiers in the future, and at the same time, it will also increase the labor force, reclaim some hilly and more wasteland, plant more grain, and by the way, drive the economy of Zaozhuang.

Although there are inevitably some Japanese spies mixed in, some of the unique habits of the Japanese themselves can never change their Japanese identity, such as the long-term kneeling and wearing clogs of the Japanese, which will leave obvious characteristics, and it is easy to be caught by Chen Jiye's subordinates when they enter the house.

Of course, there were some traitors who followed, but when they saw that their Taijun was caught, they naturally didn't have the courage to continue to stay in Zaozhuang.

Zaozhuang was carried out in an orderly manner in Chen Jiye's hands, and the battle of Xuzhou, which lasted for several months, also came to the final moment.

In mid-May, as the battle reports on the front line became more and more tragic, they continued to reach the case of Lao Jiang, the highest authority in Wuchang. The serious crisis that Xuzhou suddenly faced made Lao Jiang's brain, which was a little dizzy by the victory of Taierzhuang, calm down.

Lao Chiang suddenly realized that the intention of the Japanese army was to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Chinese army in Xuzhou. If the fifty elite divisions in Xuzhou were eaten by the Japanese army, then what would he do to resist in the future? What to take to resist the ambitions of the wolf son of the invading Japanese army to China?

After Lao Jiang realized this serious crisis, he immediately called He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Feng Yizhong and others to discuss countermeasures.

The Japanese army's intentions have been exposed, and it is no longer realistic to continue to defend Xuzhou, He Yingqin and others advocate breaking through the encirclement as soon as possible, abandoning Xuzhou, and preparing well for the next battle of Wuhan.

Later, Lao Jiang dictated to Li Zongren a 100,000 urgent telegram order: The Military Commission ordered your troops to avoid the decisive battle, evacuate Xuzhou, and quickly break through.

Gu Zhutong's 24th Army was in northern Jiangsu, and the 69th Army and the Marine Corps persisted in the war of resistance in central and southern Shandong.

Liu Ruming's 68th Army, as the rear guard of the whole army, covered the transfer of the main force.

Feng Shaojun of the Fifth War Zone led all his troops and immediately broke through to the Henan-Anhui border area.

On the 16th, Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, in order to avoid a war of attrition with the superior Japanese army. When the Japanese troops from all walks of life surrounded Xuzhou step by step, they immediately ordered the defenders of all directions under their headquarters to resist for a while, and then retreated to the mountainous and lake marsh areas to carry out guerrilla warfare of "breaking the whole into pieces" and entangled with the Japanese army.

When Chen Jiye of Chenjia Village saw this situation, he understood that Xuzhou was about to be given up by Lao Jiang, and the next battle of Wuhan was about to kick off.

But Chen Jiye also felt that it was time to do one thing.

Xuzhou is in such chaos now, Zhou Yuling's daughters were very worried when they heard that Chen Jiye was going to lead the troops out, after all, Chen Jiye was also a person with parents, wives and children, and after Chen Jiye's hard work, the four daughters were shot again.

"Jiye, it's so dangerous outside, promise us, stay at home, okay?" Zhou Yuling took Chen Jiye's hand, looked at Chen Jiye with a pair of eager eyes and said.

Followed by the other three daughters who also sought the Tao one after another.

"Yes, Xianggong (Jiye)!"

"Even if it's not for us, you have to do it for the children?" They have seen the cruelty of war, and they don't want to be children who grow up without their fathers.

In the face of the bitter pleading of the fourth daughter, Chen Jiye still couldn't make up his mind to leave, and this matter was not a big deal, just to bring his eldest brother back and be his spokesperson. Besides, he is now also a commander commanding tens of thousands of people, and he needs to do everything himself, so he must not be exhausted to death.

Later, Chen Jiye wrote a top-secret letter and sent the guard battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness to carry it out, after all, now that the army has been expanded, the combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, and only the three units under Chen Jiye's command are the guard battalion, the fire battalion and the Chenjiacun Nursing Home Brigade that have the ability to fight field battles.

The Chenjia Village Nursing Home Brigade must guard Chenjia Village and protect the Chen family and Chen Jiye's parents, wives and children, which must not be moved. This time it can also be said to be a rescue operation, the speed of the fire battalion will be affected, naturally it is not suitable, and in the end it can only be the turn of the guard battalion.

Zhou Yuling was pregnant with a child, and Chen Jiye did not disclose this matter in order not to affect Zhou Yuling.

……

Guojia Village, this is a very ordinary village, but since the Japanese army moved south, the whole village has been a mess.

"Company commander, I just counted it, and we only have thirty-seven brothers in total who can still move." A soldier reported to Zhou Hao.

Since the 77 Incident, their Fourth Division has fought a bloody battle from Nankou to the present, and there has been almost no replenishment, and the entire army has suffered heavy casualties, and in the face of the situation at this time, Zhou Hao is also worried.

Although they had a battalion in Guojia Village, Zhou Hao knew that their battalion had no reserves at all at this time. At this time, Zhou Hao remembered his brother-in-law Chen Jiye, but because his level was not enough, he didn't know Chen Jiye's situation at all.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

"Horn!" A soldier in charge of the guard fired a shot and shouted.

"Company commander, the little devil is here!"

Zhou Hao turned over and shouted on the edge of the trench.

"Brothers, call me!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

After a fierce battle, in the end, Zhou Hao led people to fight for his life to drive the little devil down, but the price paid was that half of the brothers fell, and even Zhou Hao was stabbed by the little ghost's bayonet.

"Company commander, let's withdraw! If we don't withdraw, we'll run out of brothers! The last platoon commander couldn't bear to see that they were all wiped out, and said with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Hao glanced at the few injured brothers around him, but before he could make up his mind, the annoying little devil rushed up again.

Zhou Hao closed his eyes in despair and said silently in his heart.

"It seems that I, Zhou Hao, am going to die here today!"

When the Japanese squad that was beaten down just now was eighty meters away from Zhou Haolian, they found that there was no movement in the opposite position, thinking that the enemy on the opposite side was going to run, and the leader of the devil squad immediately shouted.

"Attack, give!" Immediately, dozens of little devils rushed forward with guns in their hands.

"Company commander, there's still fifty meters left!" A soldier whispered very frightenedly, once the little devil rushed up, needless to say, he knew the end, and it was strange if he was not afraid.

"Brothers, I, Zhou Hao, am right...... Sorry everyone! Zhou Hao covered his wound and said weakly.

"Company commander, we follow you without regrets, today we will live and die together, and be brothers again for the rest of our lives!" A soldier said through gritted teeth, tears streaming down his eyes, then pulled a grenade from his waist and grabbed the lead.

"Yes, live and die together! ……”

"Live and die together! ……”

The rest of the soldiers also struggled to pull out their grenades, or grab their weapons in their hands......
