Chapter 32 Welcome and send-off

After enjoying his sumptuous lunch on the train at noon, Ito Nobuyoshi was now sipping delicious wine, and on the table in front of him was a map of Oyama Castle.

"Your Excellency, please take a break, there are still forty minutes to reach the Wusheng Pass in front." The orderly next to him kindly reminded the commander, if you fall asleep, you will sleep, don't die here.

"It's okay, I'll study the map of Yingshan again." Although he would feel sleepy after eating, Ito insisted on not resting today. The war is about to start, and as a wing commander, Osa believes that he should keep a clear head and tenacious fighting spirit at all times.

The temporary opening of a passenger train in front of the military column was a decision made by Ito on the spur of the moment before he set out. Although the 34th Wing Katayama Osa was ridiculed on the phone by the 34th Wing who heard the news, Ito Osa was still proud of his quick wit.

What is cowardly, what is afraid of the enemy like a tiger? When he successfully defeated the 500 divisions and recovered Yingshan City, that Katayama Koichiro would only have envy. He was jealous that he had grabbed this mission, and if he couldn't eat the grapes, he said that the grapes were sour! To use this allusion from the Chinese. To illustrate Katayama's mentality, it couldn't be more accurate. Osa was already imagining Katayama's envious, jealous and hateful expression when he returned triumphantly.

In front of it is Wusheng Pass, which is a famous pass in ancient China. Forty minutes later, the train will arrive at Wusheng Pass. After getting there, the 18th Wing had to get out of the car and rush to Yingshan City on foot. Ito Osa's reverie was about the scene of the squadron fleeing in the desert when he led his wing, rode a tall horse, and walked through the city gate with an arrogant expression. The train whistle whistled for a long time, and it drove forward to the destination of this trip, Wushengguan.

Since the devil wants to get off the train from Wusheng Pass to Yingshan City, the road from Wusheng Pass to Yingshan is of course the focus of the ambush, and you can't wait for the devil to arrive at Yingshan City, and then fight with the devil, right? The 500 Brigade didn't even participate in the battle to attack Yingshan City, they had already come to Wusheng Pass, of course, they came to arrange various organs to ambush, they weren't here to wait for the little devils.

In the Battle of Yingshan, the engineer battalion did not follow, and they were sent to assist Qian Sixi. What the sappers do, everyone can know if you think about it, and with the participation of these professionals, the traps on the road are arranged even more perfectly. It is said that the engineer battalion assists the 500 brigade, but in fact it is the 500 brigade, and this brigade is cooperating with the engineer battalion. The roads from Wusheng Pass to Yingshan City are all full of all kinds of traps, just waiting for the devil to jump in.

The military train finally arrived at Wusheng Pass safely, and as for the passenger car in front, it didn't stop at all, and drove directly to the next stop, the garden. Passengers who want to get to Wushengguan will have to take the next train back to Wushengguan.

At Wushengguan Station, the pseudo-county magistrate led the celebrities and gentry in the county town to hold a small flag of Sino-Japanese goodwill, shouting a welcome slogan to welcome the imperial army from Xinyang. The captain of the Japanese squadron stationed in the county town, with all his soldiers, lined up on the platform to be inspected by His Excellency Osa.

Amid the military music, Ito Osa slowly stepped out of the carriage, waving his white-gloved hand and a reserved smile on his face, waving frequently to the welcoming crowd at the station. There were Japanese war correspondents who lost no time in taking pictures. The magnesium light flickered, showing the heroic majesty of His Excellency Dazuo even more.

Correspondingly, after the soldiers of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Army got off the train, they began to form a formation on the platform of the station. The tall Toyo horses were also taken off the train, and the devils of the cavalry brigade got on their horses one after another. The cannon was hung on the back of the towing cart. This army is about to recover Yingshan City, which was occupied by the squadron.

On the platform, after answering a few not-so-sharp questions from reporters with humor and wit, Dazuo turned over and rode on his war horse, winning a round of applause with a dashing posture. With an aristocratic reserved smile, Ito Nobuyoshi raised his horsewhip, led his troops, left Wushengguan Station, got on the road, and rushed to Yingshan Castle.

At the north gate of Yingshan City, the troops of the 500 Division walked into the distance through the city gate, and the people in the city spontaneously came to the city gate to see them off. Gao Quan stood next to the team, looked at the old and young on both sides of the road at the city gate, and looked at the people of his army, feeling a little uncomfortable. During the war, how the people hoped that a strong army would be stationed in their city, which would help them maintain a stable life, although not rich.

After only one day in Yingshan, countless gentry and wealthy families came to the door to send money and food to the troops, hoping that the 500 division would be stationed in Yingshan. However, the devil just didn't let himself live in peace, and as soon as a county town was liberated here, the devil's army came! In order not to burn the flames of war to this newly experienced city, he must lead his troops to meet the Japanese invaders!

"Dazhu, the 201 Brigade seized the time to march in a hurry, and strive to reach Wusheng Pass as quickly as possible. I'm afraid that Sixi won't be able to support it, so you just work hard and lead the troops to run faster. Wang Dazhu rode to the division commander's side, Gao Quan looked at himself, the number one general, and carefully advised, "Remember, our troops can't fight hard with devils, after getting in touch with Sixi, ask him what means he has prepared, and if he can preserve his strength, he still has to try to make the brothers sacrifice less." ”

"Yes!" Wang Dazhu saluted on his horse, shook the reins, and rode away.

"Let's go!" After the troops of the 201 Brigade left the city, it was Gao Quan's turn to take his division headquarters and the troops directly under the division headquarters such as the special service battalion, the communications battalion, and the cavalry battalion. The Separate Brigade is the last of the divisions, and in terms of the battle sequence, it is the reserve. The task to be assigned to Zhang Erxiao was already mentioned yesterday, and the independent brigade would not be their turn until all the troops directly under the 500 divisions left the city.

Gao Quan was followed by Red Peony and Huiqin, but fortunately, these two women were wearing military uniforms and military hats, and ordinary people couldn't tell men and women. Jin Hu had already consciously conceded to the periphery. Red peony is not something that anyone can afford to provoke, and if this tigress is upset, it will really be life-threatening.

This is going to the battlefield, what's the matter with two women by your side? Gao Quan glared at the red peony, it was all this woman, if it weren't for her unreasonable stubbornness last night, Gao Quan would not have let the woman appear at the ceremony of leaving the city.

Red Peony opened her eyes wide and looked at Gao Quan without fear. A woman who is usually polite and sensible, as long as Gao Quan goes to the battlefield, she becomes quite unreasonable. This is not the first time! Forget it, I don't bother to talk to her. Looking at Hui Qin on the other side, with that weak and obedient look, Gao Quan couldn't bear to say anything stern. Okay, just follow it, the guards can't take care of the two of them even with hundreds of people?

With his legs lightly clamping the horse's belly, he trotted out of the city gate with his crotch and blended into the rolling flow of people.
