Chapter 36: The Tough Battle (Part II)

On the outskirts of Jingjiang City, the temporary headquarters of the Baoshan Regiment.

Yue Weihan was working on the map, and in less than a moment, a rather beautiful marching route appeared on the map, and then he took a corner ruler to measure the distance, of course, this is only a straight line distance on the map, and the influence of terrain such as mountains and rivers should be considered when really marching, so the actual distance is only far from the distance on the map.

The 57th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 668th Army of the Northeast Army has been officially incorporated by the Baoshan Regiment!

Yue Weihan let the group of northeast routs of the 668 regiment see what the real strength is, this legendary regiment commander didn't ask anyone's opinion at all, a class A regiment said that the incorporation was his mother's incorporation! But then again, with the current situation of the Northeast Army, it is normal for the troops to be dispersed and then co-opted.

In fact, since the Northeast Army gave up the four eastern provinces to enter the customs, it has completely become a rootless tree, after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Shaoshuai was put under house arrest by Chairman Jiang again, and the Northeast Army has become a wild child who does not hurt his grandfather and does not love his grandmother.

Yue Weihan had just drawn the march route here, and Cao Xinglong hurried into the regiment headquarters over there.

Just listening to the footsteps, Yue Weihan knew that it was Cao Xinglong who had arrived, and said without raising his head: "The troops have all crossed the river?" ”

"Report to the group." Cao Xinglong stood up and saluted, and said loudly, "In addition to the wounded, the 1,206 officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Regiment have all crossed the river, and the report is complete, the commander of the first battalion of Baoshan, Cao Xinglong!" ”

"Great dragon, well done." Yue Weihan nodded happily and said, "In this way, let the brothers hurry up and rest, and then let the cooking class hurry up to prepare lunch, and also, get some eggs, beef, sheep and pork as much as possible, and give the brothers a tooth sacrifice. ”

"Forced march?" Cao Xinglong frowned and said, "Do you want to force the army?" ”

"Yes." Yue Weihan said solemnly, "This task is even more arduous, we must rush to Yangzhou two hundred miles away before dawn tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Cao Xinglong and the other three were fine, but the three battalion commanders of the original 668 Regiment suddenly changed their faces, what are you kidding? Rush to Yangzhou two hundred miles away before dawn tomorrow? Still don't let people live? Although the Northeast Army has been practicing its foot strength since it entered the customs, and it has run through most of China, it doesn't bring such a toss?

Cao Xinglong frowned, and suddenly persuaded: "Tuanzao, I'm afraid this won't work." ”

"No way?" Yue Weihan said coldly, "Cao Xinglong, when will it be your turn to make a decision in the Baoshan Group?" ”

"Well, Danza, I'm not trying to disagree with your decision." Cao Xinglong hurriedly explained, "It's no problem to force the march, I mean that the 36th Infantry Wing of the little devils has already arrived on the other side of the river, and it is estimated that the river will be crossed in the afternoon. ”

Yue Weihan immediately threw the pencil in his hand onto the map, and said in a deep voice: "The little devil has already chased him to the other side of the river?" ”

"Hmm." Cao Xinglong said solemnly, "Before we got on the ship, the top soldiers of the Yue army were only a few miles away from us, and now, the main force of the Yue army should have been stationed in Shanguan Town." ”

"The 36th Infantry Wing is worthy of being the elite of the permanent division, and it moves very fast, I thought it would be impossible for them to arrive before dark, but I didn't expect that it was not even noon, and they came up, amazing!" Yue Weihan looked up at the sky, and suddenly said something inconsequential, "Look at this sky, it will definitely be sunny tomorrow." ”

"What do you mean?" Niu Dagen scratched his head and said, "Tuanzuo, to fight or not to fight?" ”

"Hit! Of course hit! Yue Weihan said coldly, "The little devil's bayonets are all on the buttocks, can you do it if you don't fight?" ”

"His grandmother." Chi Chengfeng suddenly shouted, "This is not the Sixing Warehouse, in the Sixing Warehouse, our terrain is favorable and we have sufficient ammunition, but the current terrain is not conducive to our defense, and our ammunition is also insufficient, plus there are devils on the other side of the river, and there are two or three thousand people in an infantry wing, so it is really unpredictable to fight." ”

"That's going to have to be fought too!" Yue Weihan said in a deep voice, "Escaping at this time can only be a dead end!" ”

This battle really has to be fought, there is a Yangtze River between the chasing soldiers and the Baoshan regiment, and it is indeed impossible to run anymore!

If they run again, this group of troops will soon cross the river and catch up, and if the most elite field wing of the army is bitten, it will be a big trouble, so this battle really has to be fought.

What's more, the Baoshan Regiment is now a reinforced regiment with more than 3,000 guns.

Four 81mm mortars have just been captured, plus the original two, the foundation of the artillery company is already there, even in the face of the most elite field wing of the Yue Army, Yue Weihan is also confident that he will do a thing, at least he can't run away without letting go of a shot, if he really wants to do this, the more than 2,000 northeast rout troops that have just been collected will be finished again, and it will be strange if he does not blow up the nest when the time comes.

The most important thing is that if this battle is won, the morale of the Baoshan Regiment's original more than 1,000 defeated troops and the more than 2,000 Northeast defeated troops that have just been incorporated will be quickly restored, and their confidence will be greatly improved.

If you can win a few more battles in the future, the defeated corps that can't be defeated will be the elite corps!

"Passing on my order, all battalions immediately went to the river to build river defenses and prepare to meet the Japanese army."

"Yes!" Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng and Niu Dagen agreed with a bang, and immediately turned around and left.

Although Chi Chengfeng did not approve of fighting this battle by the river, he had nothing to say about Yue Weihan's military orders.

The three battalion commanders of the original 668 regiment hesitated slightly, and Yue Weihan's cold eyes swept over, and the three battalion commanders immediately thought of the scene when Yue Weihan shot the commander of the rout company.

…………

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Shanguan Town.

Nakagawa Dazuo was standing in the headquarters of the Baoshan Regiment yesterday at this time, and the compound had also been occupied by the army, the white-bearded squire and his family had all been driven into the courtyard, and the two crooked machine guns had also been set up under the eaves.

Speaking from the heart, Nakagawa Dazuo really wanted to kill the group of people in front of him, especially the stubborn white-bearded old man, in the face of the kindness of the imperial army, this old guy not only did not appreciate it, but actually bit off half of the translator's ear, which is really hateful!

Moreover, if it weren't for these people making trouble along the way, the 36th Wing would not have caught up with the Baoshan Battalion until today!

Although the bad weather caused great difficulties to the march of the 36th Wing, this was not the main thing, after all, the 36th Wing was the elite infantry of the permanent division, and no matter how bad the weather was, it was impossible to stop their advance, and it was these people who really caused difficulties to the pursuit of the 36th Wing.

Along the way, almost all the people of China led the imperial army astray, and a bold and hateful young man of China took the initiative to act as a guide for the imperial army, and then took advantage of the darkness to lead the imperial army into a swamp, and dozens of heroic imperial warriors did not fall on the battlefield, but died under the cold swamp.

But so what? What can these people do if they are desperately trying to make trouble?

After all, the 36th Infantry Wing is the most elite permanent infantry wing in the Great Empire, although Yue Weihan is cunning, and the Baoshan Battalion is difficult, but if they want to escape the pursuit of the 36th Infantry Wing, it is delusional! The top soldiers reported that the remnants of the Baoshan battalion were now across the river, and the 36th Infantry Wing had now bitten the tail of the Baoshan battalion.

As long as the ships arrived, the 36th Wing would cross the river in pursuit, and the road of Yue Weihan and the Baoshan battalion had already come to an end.

Although the 36th Wing under Nakagawa Dazuo actually only had two infantry brigades, and the remaining brigade and artillery squadron were still hundreds of miles away, Nakagawa Dazuo had enough self-confidence to defeat the Baoshan battalion on the other side of the river with half of the wing in his hand, and only more than 1,000 troops were defeated, and half an infantry brigade was enough to solve the problem.

With a wave of his hand, Nakagawa Osa finally ordered the release of the people, although he wanted to kill people very much, but the commander of the front army, General Matsui Ishine, had already issued an order to all divisions and regiments, and it was not allowed to kill people in the near future! In order to show off to the Western media, Senior General Matsui Ishine even publicly executed two second lieutenant officers who "killed innocents indiscriminately".

Of course, those two lieutenants were not really imperial warriors, but just two deserters from Manchuria.

But even so, the warriors of the imperial army of the divisions and regiments under the Central China Front can no longer kill innocents indiscriminately, at least during this time.
