In just half a day, Flying Fox's army captured the city of Nanjing and killed all the defenders in the city. For those Japanese nationals, the soldiers were according to Chen Jinghui's arrangement, all those who resisted were killed, and all those who did not resist and surrendered were imprisoned in one place, waiting for Chen Jinghui to fall.

"Commander, Nanjing has been captured, should we march to Hebei next?"

After taking the city of Nanjing, Zhejiang and Jiangsu can be regarded as the whole territory. According to the plan formulated before, Chen Jinghui and the others should go north, take Shanhaiguan with the Eighth Army, and close the gate of the Central Plains.

"Well, I know, where the Eighth Army is advancing now." Chen Jinghui asked.

"Commander, they have successfully taken Shandong, one is going north to attack Hebei, and the other is cooperating with the Fourth Army to besiege Xuzhou. The devil has assembled a heavy army in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to take it. Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Well, I know that the devil has also mobilized part of Shandong's troops to Xuzhou, which has caused Xuzhou to be unable to attack. However, if it weren't for the devil to deploy the main forces to defend Xuzhou, the Eighth Army would not have been able to take Shandong so easily. Chen Jinghui said.

"That's right, the devil is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot." Chief of Staff Xu said.

"Lao Xu, immediately notify the political commissar and let him be in charge of the recruitment work in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, so that there is no need to continue to go north with the army. Deputy Commander Xu was ordered to cooperate with the political commissar and be responsible for the defense and conscription of the government order area. Chen Jinghui said.

"Commander, then you are going to send that force north to Shanhaiguan." Chief of Staff Chen asked.

"I have thought about it. The 1st Army, the 1st Marine Division, the 2nd Marine Division, and the Guard Division were ordered to deploy the areas already under control. The Second and Third Armies were ordered to move north immediately, and the Fourth Army also quickly moved north after taking Xuzhou, joining up with the Second and Third Armies. At the same time, he ordered Deputy Commander Xu to wait until the conscription in Zhejiang and Jiangsu was completed, and immediately change the guard division, so that the guard division could quickly go north to assist the second, third, and fourth armies in combat. I estimate that Shanhaiguan is a difficult bone to gnaw, and I am afraid that there will not be enough troops. Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Commander, isn't there still the Eighth Army?" Chief of Staff Chen asked suspiciously.

"Lao Xu, if you look at the map, although the Eighth Army is now attacking fiercely, it is also making rapid progress. But they have a loophole, that is, the back of Shanxi is connected to the Inner Mongolia Plain region, which is still under the control of the devils. The troops they are staying behind now will definitely not be able to hold for long, so they will definitely return to defense in the later stage. Therefore, the attack on Shanhaiguan is mainly our business. Chen Jinghui analyzed.

"Shhh...... That's a problem. ”

After Chen Jinghui's analysis, Chief of Staff Chen finally understood why Chen Jinghui sent hundreds of thousands of troops over.

"Lao Xu, go and give orders! Let the soldiers get ready, and we will set off early tomorrow morning to go north to Shanhaiguan. Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Yes"

Chief of Staff Xu saluted and left, and went to convey orders to various troops.

"Someone, call Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the Eighth Group Army and ask them to immediately repair the Shandong airfield and the Hebei plane."

Shanhaiguan is a tough one, and it will definitely suffer a lot of losses if it is attacked by the army alone. Although his air force has lost part of it, it has not completely lost its combat effectiveness, so Chen Jinghui decided to mobilize the air force to reinforce the Shanhaiguan operation.

"Someone, send a report to the political commissar and Deputy Commander Xu, and ask them to secretly deploy all those 122mm howitzers on the coastline to prevent the devil navy from sneaking up again. At the same time, they were ordered to immediately send people to salvage the warships sunken by the devils, especially the aircraft carriers, which must be salvaged. ”

"The 1st Air Force Division was ordered to stay at the airfields in Jiangxi and Anhui to assist in the defense of the coastline. The 2nd Air Division was ordered to wait until the Shandong and Hebei airfields were repaired. ”

"Order Secretary Deng to arrange the regional government affairs, and if the personnel are not enough, you can apply to Yan'an for a loan. In short, we will ensure that places like Jiangsu and Zhejiang can quickly restore normal order. ”

Tomorrow will march north, Chen Jinghui issued three orders in a row, and the area that has been controlled is probably not arranged.

"Commander, the troops are ready to go at any time."

Chief of Staff Chen and Chief of Staff Xu reported to Chen Jinghui early the next morning.

"Let's go."

As soon as Chen Jinghui gave the order, all the officers and men of the two armies immediately marched towards Hebei. More than 200,000 troops walked on the road, and the scene was so spectacular. Chen Jinghui looked at these troops wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying aircraft and artillery to the north, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart. Once upon a time, such an army was just a dream for him. What he didn't expect was that he, a yellow-haired boy, had really done it and really forged such a powerful army.

"Commander, it's time for us to go."

Chief of Staff Chen came to Chen Jinghui and reminded him that it was time to go.

"Well, let's go."

Chen Jinghui, Chief of Staff Chen, and Chief of Staff Xu got into the same car and began to follow the mighty army north.

"Boss, it looks like it's about to hit Shanhaiguan, and according to intelligence, the Devil Kwantung Army has sent 8 divisions of troops to the south. If the flying fox doesn't arrive again, even if we rush to Shanhaiguan in advance, we won't be able to stop the devil's attack! Then there is the Inner Mongolia region, and there are also signs of the devil's troop movement, and if the devil attacks from Inner Mongolia, we will inevitably send troops back to help, and then we will be even more passive. The left chief of staff of the Eighth Army anxiously asked Mr. Peng.

"Lao Zuo, I'm also anxious, but they have a much heavier task than ours. Not only did they have to capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but they also had to contain most of Shandong's troops. I heard from the commander-in-chief that a few days ago, the devils sent two aircraft carrier fleets to reinforce Shanghai, and their lives were not easy! Mr. Peng said.

"Boss, but the current situation here is also very difficult." Left Chief of Staff said.

"Okay, I know, let the troops hold on and overcome the difficulties. I'll report the situation to the Commander-in-Chief right away and ask about the situation on the Flying Fox's side. Mr. Peng said.

"Commander, it seems that the situation in Hebei is not very good, the Devil Kwantung Army has sent eight divisions to the south, and it has now been assembled in Harbing."

Chief of Staff Chen took the telegram from the commander-in-chief and reported the situation to Chen Jinghui.

"Well, I know that the situation is urgent at the moment, and the Eighth Army is under a lot of pressure. Order the troops to speed up, and be sure to join up with Mr. Peng as soon as possible. At the same time, he called the commander-in-chief and said that we had set off for the north and would arrive at Shanhaiguan in the near future. ”

Chen Jinghui had already received information about the transfer of the Devil Kwantung Army, and he was also very anxious. Along the way, he kept thinking of ways to see how he could slow down the devil's southward pace.

"Commander, the devils have been entrenched in the northeast for many years, and the transportation is very developed, if they want to reinforce Shanhaiguan, it is estimated that it will take a few days by train."

Chief of Staff Xu held a map of the Northeast and pointed to the railway line that went straight to the Central Plains and said to Chen Jinghui.

"Railroad, railroad, there it is. Ordered Huang Erwa to organize a small detachment for me, secretly invaded Shenyang, and blew up the devil's railway in Shenyang. Tell them that their mission is to blow up the railroad and slow down the devil's southward journey. ”

Seeing the railway pointed by Chief of Staff Xu, Chen Jinghui suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a plan appeared in his mind.

"This is a good way, although it can't completely stop the devil from going south, at least it can delay for a while and give us a chance." Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Well, the commander's plan is good, if the devil wants to take the train south, then the bombed railway must be repaired before it can be opened. If they don't take the train and have to walk, it will also slow down their pace of moving south to reinforce Shanhaiguan. Chief of Staff Xu said.

"Call back Commander-in-Chief Zhu and tell him about our plans. And told him that as long as Mr. Peng blocked Shanhaiguan, there was no need to force an attack. ”

Chen Jinghui knew that the forces of the Eighth Group Army wanted to forcibly attack Shanhaiguan, and it would definitely be half the effort, and the effect would not be very great. Although he reinforced so many of their weapons, it is estimated that the consumption is about the same after the battlefields of Shanxi, Shandong, and Hebei are defeated.

In the next few days, Chen Jinghui's army went all the way north, passed through Shandong, and entered Hebei. On the way, the people were so frightened that they closed the door when they saw these strangely dressed troops. The people of the Eighth Army were afraid that the local people would misunderstand, so they began to explain from house to house.

Gradually, the people knew that these strangely dressed troops were the troops of General Chen of Jiangxi, and they began to boil. They had long heard that Chen Jinghui's army was very powerful, and he beat the devils to the bottom of the blood. Now that I saw the real person, I all walked out of the house to welcome him. Some people even made steamed buns from the few white noodles in their homes and handed them to those soldiers, hoping that the soldiers would be able to eat enough and fight devils.

The Flying Fox's army, like the Eighth Army, was disciplined. Therefore, no matter how much the people tried to persuade them, the soldiers would not accept their food. But some of the warriors could not shirk it, so they drank the water that the people handed them.

"Command the troops, there is really no way to buy what is in the hands of the people."

Seeing that the people were so enthusiastic, Chen Jinghui also knew that this was the people pinning their hopes on them. But these things are the rations of the people, and they cannot be taken for nothing. He immediately ordered that as long as there was really something that could not be shirked, he would spend money to buy it, and the people would never be allowed to suffer.

"What a team! They're the same as the Eight Roads, they're all good teams! Woohoo......"

Seeing that the soldiers of the flying fox took all the things of the people and paid for them, some old people couldn't help but sigh, and tears couldn't stop flowing. For them, it has been a long, long time since they have met such a good army.
