On Chen Jinghui's side, he didn't know that the devil was plotting to cut off his backup, and he had been preparing for the imminent war in the past few days.

"Where is the devil now?" Chen Jinghui asked.

"Commander, the devils are now all close to Xishui County, and there are less than 30 miles left from our defense line." The commander of the first division said.

"So fast, wasn't it still in place the day before yesterday! How did it take only one day to get here? ”

Chen Jinghui was surprised when he inquired. The devil was moving so fast that he was surprised.

"It's really abnormal, I guess the devil was planning something a few days ago, so he kept moving. Now that they have suddenly moved, it is estimated that they have already planned it. The first division commander said.

"Well, your analysis makes sense. In this way, just in case, you go to give the order and let the artillery of the third division be placed in two positions. Remember, one light and one dark. The artillery of your first division, as well as your independent division, is the same. Chen Jinghui arranged.

"Commander, do you suspect that the devils will attack our artillery first?" Bian Guo said.

"Whether he's or not, we have to take precautions. Alright, go down and prepare! Remember to patrol positions and do your best defense. Chen Jinghui said.

Bian Guo and Zhang Erzhu received instructions, turned around and left the headquarters, and began to rush to the front line to personally check the construction of the position, as well as the psychological state of the soldiers about the upcoming big battle.

"Come on, send a report to Chairman Jiang again, ask him if he agrees to my previous request or not, and let him give an explanation as soon as possible."

Chen Jinghui sent a telegram to Commander Jiang as early as when the devils were evacuated from the Wuhan battlefield, asking him to send troops to attack the devils from behind when he was engaged in a battle with the devils. But what made him depressed was that a few days had passed, and Commander Jiang really didn't respond at all.

"Report, Commander Chiang called back and said that it was no problem for him to send troops to assist us in the war against Japan, but he did not have good weapons now, and I am afraid that it would not be of much use at that time." Said the communications officer.

"What? Okay, you Jiang Bald, your heart is so dark, at this time you still want to reach out and think that I want weapons and equipment. Isn't this a threat to Lao Tzu! ”

Hearing Commander Jiang's callback, Chen Jinghui's lungs were about to explode. He never expected that Commander Jiang would reach out to him to ask for something at this time, and the smell of threats between his words was very strong.

"So what now, Commander. I give or don't give. A staff officer next to him said.

"Let me think about it." Chen Jinghui touched his chin and thought.

"In this way, call him back and say: As long as you send troops to contain part of the devil's forces at that time, when the war is over, I will send you the materials and equipment of an integrated division, including advanced automatic rifles and cannons, and equip you with 20 new gadgets (bazookas). However, if you don't see a single soldier of yours by then, you won't even want to get a single part. Chen Jinghui said.

"Report, Commander Jiang said that he agrees with your opinion, and when the time comes, he will send at least 100,000 troops to contain the devils from the rear, so that you can rest assured." Said the communications officer.

"Okay, as long as he's willing to send troops." Chen Jinghui said.

"Commander, since Commander Jiang has agreed to send troops, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

The staff officer saw that although Chen Jinghui said yes, he still had some concerns on his expression, so he immediately stepped forward to express his opinion, hoping that Chen Jinghui could eliminate his concerns.

"Well, I hope so. Okay, let's not talk about that. Accompany me to the forward positions and see the soldiers. ”

After speaking, Chen Jinghui took the lead out of the headquarters and began to walk towards the trench in the foreword.

"Hello Commander."

"Hello Commander, why are you here?"

"Commander"

……

Chen Jinghui walked in the trench, and the veterans of the Flying Fox Regiment before knew him and got up to salute him. The recruits next to him had never seen Chen Jinghui, but when they saw that those company commanders, platoon commanders and other officers saluted him and called him a captain, they also immediately stood up and saluted, and stood up and looked at Chen Jinghui one by one.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm not a tiger, what are you afraid of. Besides, even if I'm a tiger, I won't eat you, and I have to keep you to protect my homeland! ”

Chen Jinghui walked up to a recruit, looked at his nervous appearance, and immediately made a joke with him.

Hahaha......

When the soldiers next to him saw Chen Jinghui joking with this recruit, they all relaxed and began to laugh.

"Huh...... That's right, relax, don't be so nervous. Chen Jinghui laughed when he saw the fighters, and he laughed himself.

"Commander, I heard that you were young before, but I didn't expect you to be so young." A warrior said.

"That's right, Commander, you became a military commander at such a young age." Another fighter said.

"Hehe, you can too. If you don't believe me, ask your company commander, I remember that he was the same as you a year ago, and now he is a company commander. Therefore, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make progress. Chen Jinghui said.

"Company commander, isn't it! Why haven't I heard from you? The soldier turned his head and asked the company commander.

"Hehe, the commander still remembers me. Comrades, the commander is right, I was just like you when I came here a year ago. The company commander said.

"Okay, okay, everyone be quiet, let's ask the commander to give us a few words." The battalion commander came over and said.

Okay, okay, bangbang......

The soldiers began to applaud one after another, cheering vigorously, and they all welcomed Chen Jinghui's speech.

"Oh well! I'll just say a few words. Comrades, soldiers. In 1937, the devils launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, and from then on they began to wage war against the land of China. Our Chinese soldiers fought to the death against the devils after major battles such as the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing. However, because our weapons and equipment were too backward to resist the attack of the devils, we had lost nearly half of the great rivers and mountains of China.

In the occupied areas, the devils have inflicted inhumane harm on our Chinese sons and daughters, and in some places they have carried out a cruel three-light policy, killing all our people, robbing us of our finances, burning down our houses, and molesting our female compatriots. What is even more hateful is that in December 1937, after the capture of Nanjing, the devils carried out a month-long massacre, brutally killing nearly 300,000 of our compatriots. Some devil generals even regard the heads of our Chinese people as a game, comparing each other with the game of beheading, to see who cuts off the heads of the children of China.

At the beginning of the year, I received reliable information that the devils had conducted inhumane live experiments in our northeast. They go around arresting our people and using them to conduct bacteriological experiments, gambling experiments, and so on.

Comrades, soldiers, you can't be hateful when you talk about devils. Chen Jinghui said.

"Hateful, hateful." The soldiers shouted loudly.

"Do they deserve to die?" Chen Jinghui asked.

"Damn, shit." The soldiers continued to shout loudly.

"Then now there are more than 100,000 brutes in front of our position, what do you say?" Chen Jinghui continued to ask.

"Destroy them, destroy them......" The fighters raised their guns and continued to shout loudly.

"Yes, destroy them and let them atone for their sins in Huaxia." Chen Jinghui said.

"Destroy the devils and kill them."

The soldiers continued to shout loudly, but Chen Jinghui left here silently and continued to inspect other places. Everywhere he went, he remembered a speech that inspired the soldiers' patriotism and hatred of devils to the extreme.

"Commander, you see, the devil is already close."

When Chen Jinghui came to the front headquarters of the First Division, Zhang Erzhu handed Chen Jinghui the glasses in his hand, and at the same time pointed to a place two kilometers opposite the position.

Chen Jinghui picked up the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Erzhu, and the dense devils were approaching the position here at the moment. And what shocked Chen Jinghui even more was that there were five or six hundred tanks on the devil's front line, and there was a great momentum to break through the Flying Fox position in one fell swoop.

"There are so many devils, and the momentum is so huge." Chen Jinghui said with emotion.

"Yes, military commander, there are so many devils, this battle is not easy to fight!" The first division commander sighed.

"If it's not good to fight, you have to fight. Do you know! The 11th Division, the 114th Division, the 6th Division, the 9th Division, and the 13th Division were all troops that attacked Nanjing back then, and you know the sins they committed in Nanjing back then. You say now they're right in front of you, what do you do? Chen Jinghui asked.

"What else is there to say, kill them and avenge the hundreds of thousands of compatriots in Nanjing." The commander of the first division said.

"That's right, they are right in front of them, this battle is difficult to fight in time, we have to fight, if nothing else, just for the hundreds of thousands of compatriots in Nanjing, we can't let them go." Chen Jinghui said.

"But the commander, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to hold on." The commander of the first division said.

"Don't worry, I have full confidence in our soldiers. I believe that they will never retreat, and they will definitely be nailed to this place, and all these beasts on the other side will be wiped out. Chen Jinghui said.

"But our actual situation is that the difference between the strength of the army and the devil is too great." The first division commander said worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have asked the temporary Second Division to recruit troops in Huangmei and other cities that we have captured, they have recruited more than 30,000 people these days, and they are seizing the time to conduct basic training. If that is not possible, they will be brought up. ”

Chen Jinghui had already thought of what might happen, so he had already made plans. Although the newly recruited soldiers did not have enough time to train, only they learned to shoot and went to the battlefield, and under the leadership of the veterans, their combat effectiveness soon increased.
