[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 157: Plan Ahead (Sixth Update!) Ask for a subscription! ）

However, just as Ma Zheng's headquarters was assembling, the Japanese army had a new move, and the Japanese Botian detachment advanced west from Peng Ze, and then attacked the garrison positions of Liu Yuqing's 26th Division and Peng Weiren's 77th Division at Hukou. The enemy fought a joint battle on water, land, and air, and after two days and one night of fierce fighting, he captured Hukou City.

In order to secure the Yangtze River transportation line that had been occupied, the enemy's Central China Dispatch Army stationed the 106th Division of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, which had just been transferred from China, to garrison various key points along the Yangtze River, and one part of the Taiwan Brigade to attack Jiujiang.

On July 7, the commander of the 2nd Division, formerly stationed in Mudanjiang, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, arrived in Nanjing and was promoted to commander of the 11th Army.

After Okamura Ninji arrived in Nanjing, orders were issued frequently, and various divisions and brigades along the Yangtze River of the Japanese army moved frequently, and a major battle was about to break out.

In view of this situation, the Wuhan side sent three telegrams in one day, urging the Seventh Division to fight southward.

Subsequently, Yan'an telegraphed Ma Zheng's troops to leave immediately and go south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.

Ma Zheng's side has already made preparations, anyway, there are only a few counties in the defense area where Suicha is based, as long as the troops going south are determined, then everything will be much simpler, and they can be assembled at any time.

After receiving the order, Ma Zheng and Li Lanqing said hello and then set off with their troops.

Since the northern part of Henan has now been occupied by devils, the traffic from the south to the north has been cut off, so Ma Zheng's department can only make a detour to the southwest of Shaanxi. The Nationalist Government has also instructed the Shaanxi side to organize a railway to transport the Duqi Division south.

In order to be in a hurry, Ma Zheng personally mapped out the transportation route to the south. The troops needed to take a car from Jining to Yan'an, then from Yan'an to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to Wuhan by train. It's a long road, but it's safe. Moreover, I can also go to Yan'an to meet the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou and others. It's a regret in my heart.

After all, the northwest region of Shanxi Province has basically been controlled by the 120th Division, and Ma Zheng's division will go to the defense area of the 120th Division when he leaves his own defense area, and he will arrive at the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area after leaving the defense area of the 120th Division.

The road was very smooth, with the Thor Special Operations Brigade opening the way. Along the way, the convoy of the 120th Division passed through without alarming and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. It is worth mentioning that when Ma Zheng left this time, he specially removed 200 people from the special combat team members who were about to "graduate" and added them to the special operations team, and at this time, the total number of Tie Niu's special operations team had reached 311 people, equipped with almost all the special combat equipment, and it could almost be said that it was armed to the teeth.

After three days and four nights of galloping, Ma Zheng's department finally arrived in Yan'an.

Yan'an. North Gate.

At this time, there were now more than a dozen middle-aged men standing at the gate of the city, who were still neatly dressed but definitely not gorgeous, and hundreds of guards around them were looking around vigilantly, and the guns in the nose of the machine were always warning those with bad intentions.

The chairman took a hard drag on the dry tobacco. He quickly swallowed the smoke out of his mouth and asked, "Da Long, where have they gone, Ma Zheng?" ”

"Report to the chairman, half an hour ago, Commander Ma called and said that he had already walked to Yaodian, and it was less than thirty miles away from Yan'an, I am afraid that it is about to arrive, why don't I let people go to the front to have a look?" Gu Dalong, the commander of the guard company, replied.

Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said, "Chairman." Don't worry, Ma Zheng is sitting in a car. It will arrive soon, so you should be patient and wait! ”

And Mr. Zhu, who had just returned to Yan'an for a meeting, said with a smile: "In my experience, this kid is coming up with something like a moth, and I think this time it is another big scene that is not shocking and endless!" Last time, a few of us were choked by this kid. ”

Mr. Zhu's words amused all the leaders present, and the tense atmosphere was relieved a lot.

As he was speaking, the chairman's guard, Dahu, suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Chairman, look."

Everyone looked in the direction that Xiao Zhang was pointing. I saw that at the turn of the hill, several cars protected two small cars and slowly revealed their figures, the cars were moving very slowly, and a red party flag was inserted on the front of each car. Under the breeze, the bright party flag was waving in the wind, and it looked like a burning flame from a distance.

But what puzzled the leaders of the central government was. They received a report that three regiments of the Seventh Division had gone south to fight this time, with a total strength of nearly 8,000 men.

Confused, the car had already turned over a small hill and began to accelerate.

The distance of two kilometers was soon reached, and I saw that the car stopped a hundred meters away from the chairman and the others, and a group of soldiers dressed in uniforms similar to those of the devil army quickly jumped out of the car, formed a team, and ran towards the chairman and others under the command of the captain.

The group of soldiers ran to a place five meters away from the chairman and the others and stopped, and a person who seemed to be an officer but couldn't see any sign at all turned around and ran slowly to the chairman alone, and reported loudly: "Report to the chief, the first combat team of the Thunder God Special Operations Brigade of the Seventh Division reports to you, please instruct."

The chairman glanced at Mr. Zhu beside him, and couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, these central leaders all knew that Ma Zheng had a hand in leading troops, and they had also heard many times from the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters that the Inner Mongolia Military Region troops were strictly disciplined, tenacious in combat, and strong in combat, but they never expected that the Inner Mongolia Military Region would be able to train such an elite team.

Although these people are dressed strangely, and their faces are painted with an unknown liquid of yellow and green, they look dirty. However, the central leaders are all military strategists who have come out of the sea of corpses and blood, and none of them have eaten dry food.

In particular, Chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou, who had been leading the peasant uprising movement since the Great Revolution, did not have an ordinary understanding of the army. Although there were less than forty people in this so-called special warfare team, the chairman and others saw in the eyes of these people the firmness and iron blood of the real predators. It can be said that each of these people is a well-deserved king of soldiers, the real king of iron-blooded soldiers.

The chairman froze and asked solemnly, "Where is your Commander Ma Zheng?" Who asked you to come? ”

"Report to the chief, our commander is in the open space four kilometers away, and he is going to hold a small military parade there, and I hope that the chairman and the leaders will go to review it." The squad leader said loudly.

The chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou glanced at each other, the two nodded to each other, and the chairman said: "Lead the way, I want to see what surprises this little guy can bring us." ”

Yes, Ma Zheng is going to hold a small military parade outside Yan'an. The purpose of this is twofold, the first is to let these bigwigs in Yan'an City really see the troops he brought out and see how elite they are. Only in this way will these bigwigs in Yan'an City attach importance to the Duqi Division, and the Duqi Division can gain more autonomy in military operations.

Secondly, Ma Zheng had a more important purpose in doing this, that is, to ask for a talisman for those officers under his command who had flawed backgrounds. You must know that there is a big problem with the background of those people, some of them have been bandits and bandits, some of them have been born in the regular army of the Kuomintang and some of them have been from local warlord units, and some of them have even served as traitors and puppet soldiers.

Moreover, Ma Zheng also knew that a large-scale rectification campaign would be carried out in another year or two, and if he did not take precautions at this time, those people's lives would be difficult in the future.

This time, when I went south to Wuhan, I happened to pass through Yan'an, and by the way, I took advantage of an hour or two to hold a small-scale military parade so that the chairman and others could see what kind of spirit these bandits and puppet troops were and whether they could meet their requirements.

If the main chairman and others are satisfied, then things will be easy. At that time, in order to preserve the combat effectiveness of the troops, plus Ma Zheng would have been able to maneuver one or two more times, people like Wu Xiuda, Lu Ming, Xu Xiaolin, Wang Tao and others would not be rectified, and it would be even more perfect if they could be sent to the Anti-Fight Ferry to Dudujin.
