The 256th Regiment is now facing an extremely awkward situation. Since Gao Quan did not lead his regiment to the middle of this large position at the beginning, the current 256th Regiment is basically at the outermost part of the position. If they build a position here, as soon as the devils come, they will definitely bear the brunt of the attack, and they will be the first to engage the devils. Just these hundreds of people, in the face of tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops in the Fifth Division, they must not even be able to bubble up, and they were directly killed by the devils.

Squeeze in and join the military headquarters, right? The army commander has already given the order to let him be stationed on the spot, if he has to run to return to the building, it will be a blatant disobedience, not to mention whether he will be punished or not, at least after he returns, it must be true that he will not be welcomed. He, the head of the regiment, has not yet sat firmly, and if he really reaches that point, it will be difficult to keep the position of the head of the regiment in the future.

According to what Liu Qi said just now, it is also unknown whether his hundreds of people can reach the military headquarters safely. From here to the military headquarters, there were too many troops on the road. Like this, the 68th Division of the Jinsui Army is the most ordinary unit among them. Gao Quan embarrassed the containment team for such a big time, expecting that they would let him go and allow him to easily pass through the defense area of the 68th Division.

After thinking about it and considering the pros and cons, Gao Quan put his heart sideways, "Strictly follow the orders of the military seat, dig trenches in situ, and build fortifications!" "Since there's no perfect way to do anything, it's just here! It's a big deal to fight hard with the devil! Fight it, who is afraid of whom? I've done hand-to-hand combat, are you still afraid of fighting the devil again?

As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers of the 256th Regiment did not say a word, and as soon as the team dispersed, they took out their respective tools and directly began to dig trench bunkers in the local area.

The cavalry major of the 68th Division's containment team was still watching. What's wrong with this? Is this going to be a war or what? Seeing that this unit of the Ninth Army began to dig trenches, the cavalry major immediately became nervous. Digging trenches, this is a defensive measure arranged by the army before the war, and I just had some quarrels with them, but I didn't want to really fight? Why are these people going to play for real? The major led his troops, and without even saying a word, he turned around and ran away. The major officer had forgotten why they were so many troops gathered here now? Isn't it just to fight devils? This person, preconceived thoughts, is really unwanted. I only thought about the personal grudges of their two troops, but I forgot the great national feud between China and Japan.

The soldiers of the 256th Regiment didn't care about the fate of this cavalry unit, but they knew that the Japanese devils were difficult to deal with, and if this trench was not dug deeper and the bunker was not built stronger, how could they confront the tanks and artillery of the devils?

The 256th Regiment was certainly not the last unit to reach the northern outskirts of Taiyuan. The 256th Regiment, as a subordinate unit of the elite Ninth Army, could not join the main force of the army when it arrived at the position, and it was even more impossible for other troops. Gao Quan's idea that his regiment would be the outermost force of the Chinese army was quickly overturned. Before the trenches were dug up, troops from the 256th Regiment drove over next to the position. They are all troops who have retreated from the Xinkou front, Gao Quan is a regiment, and other troops include whole divisions, whole brigades, of course, whole regiments, whole battalions, and even units at the squad and platoon level. These retreating troops are all characterized by one characteristic, that is, chaos, extreme chaos. Everyone from the officers to the soldiers was panicked, and the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer behind them also made these small groups of troops even more panicked.

Units at and above the regimental level began to be stationed on the spot, building barracks, and arranging defenses, while those with a small number of people, even at the squad and platoon level, or simply stragglers who moved in groups of three or five and operating alone, wandered around. A containment team like the cavalry of the 68th Division began to play a role, and even the troops below the size did not fail to explain at all, and as soon as the order was announced, the cavalry directly stepped forward to disarm! In the face of this group of guys with a large number of people and cavalry, the vast majority of stragglers chose to compromise, after all, no matter which army it is, as long as it is an army, they will have food and drink, where to do it or not?

Looking at the rich harvest of the containment team, Gao Quan's mind moved. At present, there is a battle that cannot be avoided, and there are too many shortages of their own troops, and it is difficult to maintain the system in this big battle, and there is a possibility that they will be defeated by the Japanese army at any time. If everyone else can do that, why can't you?

Stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Cai over next to him, and after biting his ear and muttering a few words, Xiao Cai immediately understood. A few minutes later, the news came from among the stragglers: The Ninth Army, on the orders of the former enemy's general headquarters, had set up a soldier receiving station here, and the small stragglers who could not find a large force could not be found, so they went directly to this receiving station to report, and the receiving station was responsible for providing food and lodging, and when the defense of Taiyuan was over, it would assist in contacting their original unit and helping them return to their original units.

As a result, the soldiers who had no troops quickly gathered towards the 256th Regiment. The reception even screened the soldiers, requiring that the soldiers must be armed with guns and have not been injured. As for those who were wounded, or empty-handed, the reception station pointed directly at the cavalry team that was busy over there, and went there to report first. After one day, the 256th Regiment received more than 1,000 soldiers, and more than half of the troops were cobbled together from various units. Gao Quan can't take care of all of this, in the face of the big war, there are people who are not strong after all. As for combat effectiveness, if there are no people, there will be no combat effectiveness.

The first task these new fighters received was to dig trenches. As for the monetary allowances, sumptuous food, and warm beds that the receiving officers talked about before they came, there were no such things at all. When the soldiers wanted to complain, the officer at the reception coped with the tense situation and that all the promised things would definitely be reissued in the future. The soldiers are used to being organized, there are troops here, and the soldiers next to them are busy repairing fortifications, since people have no opinions, what opinions can they have? People have a herd mentality, everyone else is working with their heads down, and they, the stragglers who have lost their organization, can only follow the majority of the people.

More and more troops had gathered on the periphery of the 256th Regiment, and Gao Quan's team was also developing towards the central position.

At dawn the next day, there was still a steady stream of troops gathering in the defensive positions in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan, and the devil's plane came first.

The low-altitude bombing of more than 20 planes caused a big loss to the squadron, which had not yet fully arranged its defensive positions. Many troops had just arrived in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan, and the designated resistance positions in this theater had not even been selected, and the soldiers were either sitting or standing in groups according to their own ranks. The positions in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan were even more chaotic.
