"Okay, it's just a reinforced regiment, and the artillery regiment of Commander Xie is still under your command, there are not many shells left, you save me some use, don't drop the chain at the critical moment when the time comes!" Commander Li half-jokingly said to Han Fei that Han Fei only needed a reinforced regiment to serve as the main force of the feint just now, which really gave him a sigh of relief, so that the flanks when he retreated would have troops guaranteed.

"Don't worry, Junza, I know what to do." Han Fei hurriedly assured that the artillery regiment of Regiment Commander Xie was almost no longer a shell, of course Han Fei knew, and he also wanted to keep the large-caliber howitzers in the artillery regiment, this kind of cannon firepower is fierce, and sometimes it can play a decisive role in attacking the fortifications, such a killing weapon is very much needed on the battlefield in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that there should be a supply of shells over there, right?

The leader of the devils besieging Pukou suddenly received a message from his devil officers, claiming that a large number of Chinese troops were suddenly found approaching them on their frontal positions, and the opponent's artillery fire was intensive, and it was very likely that they were going to launch a counter-assault on the frontal positions of the imperial army!

This devil leader couldn't make a correct judgment for a while, and hurriedly reported the news to the Nakajima devil above, who has now replaced Gu Shoufu and has become the commander of the newly adapted devil Central China Dispatch Army, which means that he has secured this position, and in the battle with Gu Shoufu, he temporarily gained the upper hand, and the unlucky Gu Shoufu, because His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated by Han Fei's special forces, was seriously warned by the devil's base camp and stayed on duty to check.

Gu Shoufu was naturally angry, and he was very unwilling to be defeated by Nakajima's hands like this, so he hurriedly mobilized his various connections in Japan, moved around, and at the same time secretly collected evidence unfavorable to Nakajima, hoping to bring down Nakajima one day and make a comeback.

The battle in Pukou fell into a stalemate, Nakajima's troops continued to attack Pukou Railway Station, but were beaten back again and again by the special forces squad led by Han Fei, at this time suddenly the main force of the 79th Army launched a counterattack on Nakajima's troops at the same time, this news reached Gu Shoufu's ears, he was secretly happy, thinking that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to bring down Nakajima!

He immediately sent a brigade under his command to march dozens of kilometers upstream along the bank of the Yangtze River, cut down trees in a deserted woods on the shore, tied up into wooden platoons and immediately crossed the river, the river here is wide, and there are almost no Chinese troops stationed on the riverbank, the devil brigade led by Ushijima Osaku spent two days and two nights, finally crossed the Yangtze River, and went ashore, these beasts slaughtered a small village with only a few dozen people on the shore, tightly sealed the news, and quickly rushed east to the flank of Pukou.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and there was movement in the pile of corpses in this small village that had been slaughtered, and a young man survived, although he was stabbed four or five times with bayonets by the murderous devil soldiers, but he was not pierced in the vital part, and after falling unconscious, he was blown by the cold wind, and he woke up.

When the young man found that he was still alive, he hurriedly crawled out of the pile of corpses, and just saw the broken devils walking towards the outside of the village, looking at their appearance, they were going in the direction of Pukou.

Although the young man grew up in a small village by the river, he also studied in the county seat for a few years, and he had some vision, and he saw the devil going towards Pukou, and he didn't have time to bury his relatives, so he hurriedly struggled to take the path to the nearby county seat.

He wants to report the news, he wants to take revenge, under the tenacious support of this will, the young man marched all night on the path, rushed to the county seat, and found that there were no devils here, so he understood more that the devils who slaughtered the village were going towards Pukou, otherwise, how could the devils in this small county town between the river bank and Pukou turn a blind eye?

It was a battalion of the 79th Army stationed in this small county town, and the brothers of the 79th Army could hear the situation of this young man and immediately reported it to Han Fei, Han Fei was already the chief of staff of the 79th Army at the moment, and Commander Li could not take care of everything, so these situations were reported to Han Fei first, and Han Fei judged the urgency of the matter and then reported it to the military seat.

As soon as Han Fei heard the news, he hurriedly asked someone to bring the young man, and when he saw the few bayonet marks on the young man's body, Han Fei immediately understood, the devil who came up from behind the flank was estimated to be Gu Shoufu's division, and the army of the Nakajima devil was in the eastern front, and it was estimated that it would not be so fast.

He hurriedly searched carefully on the military map on the wall, looked at it, gasped, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to entertain the young man who came to report the news, and said to him: "This brother, you can rest assured, we will definitely avenge you and your fellow villagers, if you want to join the army to kill devils, we are welcome, of course, you have to take care of your injuries, if you don't want to join the army, we will send you the passage fee as you like!" ”

The young man barely hesitated: "Sir, my family was all killed by little devils, don't take revenge, become a man in vain, don't join the army to kill devils, I can't do it, I have read high school, and if you can read words, let me be a soldier!" ”

At that time, among the Chinese people, there were not many people who could have the opportunity to read, and the illiteracy rate was eighty or ninety percent, and those who had read high and elementary schools were considered quite good, and literacy and hyphenation were quite powerful for the poor people at that time, especially in the army, people with this kind of culture were quite welcome.

At that time, there was also a concept that he always looked down on soldiers, and there was a saying at that time: "Good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve soldiers." "As long as there is a way out in other aspects, ordinary people are reluctant to become soldiers, because of the danger of being a soldier, if you don't get it right, you will lose your head, and second, the soldier is far away from home and can't take care of his parents, and the parents of ordinary people don't want their sons to be soldiers, but the poor people can't even eat enough, so they can't do anything, and they are reluctant to become soldiers in order to be able to eat well.

But now it's different, the little devils are slaughtering here, often everywhere is the whole slaughter, regardless of men, women and children, even the baby in the swaddling baby does not let go, this time, the concept of the common people has changed, the soldier is not to eat, but to survive and live!
