1937 was a disastrous year for China.

In this year, Japan brazenly provoked a war in Shanghai, China, and a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan!

1937 can also be said to be a "lucky" year for China. In this year, a person who should not have belonged to this era appeared:

Wang Weiyi!

This man succeeded in reversing some of the things that should have happened in history, and he successfully led his army to fight all the way from Shanghai to Changshu, and then contained the Japanese offensive.

And even more successfully, he used his supreme reputation as a "skeleton baron" to get Germany and Britain to join forces to put pressure on Japan!

Under the pressure of the defeat on the frontal battlefield and the joint pressure of the two great European powers, Japan had to temporarily stop the offensive!

Three months is enough time for China to readjust its strategic deployment and improve its fortifications

At the same time, the Nationalist government also stepped up negotiations with Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union, demanding that they intervene in the Sino-Japanese war and provide military support to support China's war of resistance.

But what the Nationalist Government didn't know was that one person had already done it on their behalf:

Wang Weiyi!

In Germany, he has another name:

Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Brahm!

When Wang Weiyi returned to Changshu, Ouyang Yu hurriedly found him: "Tuanzao, Commander Xue has been looking for you for two days, and we have all been scolded by him, you go quickly, don't go." I'm afraid the call is coming again. ”

Wang Weiyi blinked his eyes, this Xue Yue, when is it not good to find himself. I have to leave here to run errands

"Report to Commander Xue, Wang Weiyi, the head of the Tiger Ben Guard Regiment, has been ordered to come!"

"Wang Weiyi, where the hell are you dead!" Xue Yue, who was looking at the map there, suddenly turned around when he heard this voice, and was furious:

"You're a commander, and you're leaving your post without permission. Ten shots are enough! ”

"Report to Commander Xue, I went to Shanghai to reconnoiter the enemy's intelligence!" Wang Weiyi replied loudly.

Xue Yue was stunned, and his anger disappeared a lot: "In the future, I will do this without asking for instructions." If you leave your post without permission, I will lock you up! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Xue Yue glared at him fiercely: "Did you find any information?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Wang Weiyi gave a general account of the situation he had. Regard it as the intelligence obtained by reconnaissance in Shanghai.

The anger on Xue Yue's face completely dissipated. The tone was also a lot kinder: "Well, it's not in vain, but don't be complacent, remember to report to me about anything in the future." ”

"Understood, sir." After Wang Weiyi finished speaking, he asked cautiously: "Commander, what's the matter with me in such a hurry?" ”

"Sit down." Xue Yue signaled: "The Japanese have temporarily stopped attacking, during this time. We repaired the fortifications, and your drawings played a big role. And you've done quite well in the first few battles, and you've personally sent a commendation telegram, so take a look."

As he spoke, he handed a telegram to Wang Weiyi.

After a hasty look, Wang Weiyi immediately stood up again: "Thank you for the cultivation, serve the country, and swear to fight to the death!" ”

"Sit, sit." Xue Yue waved his hand: "This time, your Tiger Guard Regiment and the 388 Regiment will be combined into one to form the Tiger Guard Brigade, with you as the brigade commander Colonel Wang."

As soon as the words "Colonel Wang" came out, Wang Weiyi was stunned, and then understood that he had been promoted to colonel: "Thank you for the cultivation of the commander." ”

"I can't cultivate you, you won it yourself." Xue Yue waved his hand: "If you fight well, of course you will be promoted, will you still be promoted to those mediocre talents?" ”

said, and paused there: "Although the Japanese army has temporarily stopped attacking, but soon the war will break out again, your Tiger Brigade will continue to hold on to its original position, let's say, how are you going to fight?" ”

"I will form a close defensive line with Commander Xiao, support each other, cooperate with each other, and take the initiative to attack while holding on." Wang Weiyi replied without hesitation: "I remember a German adviser once said that the Japanese army is actually full of flaws, as long as we can seize the opportunity, we can continue to defeat the Japanese army, accumulate small victories into big victories, and completely drive the Japanese out of the army!" ”

"Okay, small wins become big wins!" Xue Yue exclaimed loudly: "If each of the troops of our army on all fronts can achieve a small victory every day, I believe that it will not be long before Japan will not be able to hold on!" The most decisive victory must belong to our Wang Weiyi, from Sanhe Bridge to Songjiang, and then to Changshu, I am still very satisfied with your performance, and I don't have to worry much about your troops, but sometimes remember not to be arrogant"

"Wang Weiyi didn't quite understand what the commander meant."

Xue Yue glanced at him meaningfully: "Your troops are well-armed and have sufficient ammunition, these are all things I agree with, and others can't say anything, but jealousy will always have you who have repeatedly made war exploits, from a small company commander, promoted to colonel and brigade commander at once, saying that no one is red, I don't believe I also heard that you are collecting defeated soldiers everywhere, no matter what the troops, only you have combat experience, others have already brought the lawsuit to me."

I see. Wang Weiyi didn't care too much: "Yes, these things are there, but I am dedicated to the country and have a clear conscience." ”

"You have a clear conscience, and I support you, but there are some things that can be done not just with a clear conscience" Xue Yue sighed: "At present, on the front line, there are armies of various factions, and our Central Army's is what everyone is staring at." You are a graduate of the Army University, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and your military exploits are so prominent, now others naturally can't help you, but what about the future? As long as you lose a battle, the reproach will be overwhelming! Don't say it's me when the time comes, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep you."

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly and didn't care too much.

What is certain is that as the base continues to leap and jump in self-transformation and upgrading, it will not be too long for itself to be in this era. When the time comes, he will leave with the base, and no matter how angry he is, he will have no goal

However, he was still very grateful to Xue Yue in his heart, he was worried that he would suffer a loss

"Don't worry, commander, I know what to do."

"That's good"

Xue Yue was about to say something, when a loud voice suddenly came from outside: "Colonel Zhang Lingfu, Colonel of the 305th Regiment of the 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division of the 74th Army, is ordered to report!" ”

Zhang Lingfu? Wang Weiyi's heart trembled, that famous Anti-Japanese War general Zhang Lingfu?

Looking there, a heroic colonel in his early thirties stood.

"Lingfu, come in." Xue Yue sat there and said, "Meet Colonel Wang Weiyi of the Tiger Ben Guard Brigade. ”

"Colonel Wang!" Zhang Lingfu saluted Wang Weiyi: "I have admired the name for a long time." The Battle of Songjiang Xiguan can be called a classic battle of the Anti-Japanese War of our army. Lingfu continued to figure out and learn, and gained a lot. Now that I have met Colonel Wang today, there are many things I don't understand in my heart, and I have to ask Colonel Wang for advice! ”

"Brother Lingfu is polite!" Wang Weiyi replied: "The battle of Xiguan was a fluke success, and there is nothing to boast about." ”

"Alright, don't slap each other." Xue Yue interrupted them with a smile: "Lingfu led the 305th Regiment to support this time, and I have one more tiger general in the War of Resistance!" ”

In fact, Xue Yue was just a compliment, the 305th Regiment was all composed of recruits, and in Xue Yue's eyes, there was not much combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In August 1937, the 51st and 58th Divisions were organized into the 74th Army. Subsequently, the 51st Division went to Shanghai to participate in the Battle of Songhu. The 51st Division became famous in the battle of Luodian in the Songhu battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of the battlefield. The division won the first battle in Shanghai, and Zhang Lingfu, who was far away in Wuhan, was also overjoyed, and he also had a trace of regret in his heart when he flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

Now is the time for soldiers to show their skills on the battlefield of defending the country, but the first battle of the 51st Division's Anti-Japanese War will not be his turn at all.

It wasn't until October that the new corps finally completed its training and was sent to the front line, and Zhang Lingfu, the colonel and regiment commander, officially began his career in the Anti-Japanese War.

Recruits have been added to the troops one after another, and the new regiments have been drawn to the front line one after another, which makes Xue Yue, a senior commander, happy and headache. If these recruits have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, it is what he is most concerned about.

Wang Weiyi's heart moved: "Report to the commander, I am on the front line in Changshu, especially on the front line of Kuncheng Lake, and my strength is still thin, so"

"Wang Weiyi, when will you not be able to use these little brains?" Xue Yue didn't wait for him to finish, he had already glared at his love general.

Wang Weiyi wanted to get Zhang Lingfu and his 305th Regiment to himself.

However, this is not bad, Wang Weiyi's troops are brave, flexible, and even a little "cunning", if the officers and soldiers of the 305th Regiment can be allowed to follow this unit, the speed of growth will definitely be very fast.

It's just that Wang Weiyi is a colonel and brigade commander, and although Zhang Lingfu is a regiment commander, he is also a colonel, will he be willing to obey Wang Weiyi's command?

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Zhang Lingfu: "Lingfu, are you willing to go to Kuncheng Lake?" Colonel Wang was in charge of the front command. ”

When Zhang Lingfu heard this, he said loudly without hesitation: "Lingfu is only willing to go to the front line to resist the war, and has no other ideas. ”

"Good!" Xue Yue was overjoyed in his heart: "Then you immediately lead the 305th Regiment to the front line of Kuncheng Lake!" ”

"Yes, the War of Resistance and Killing the Enemy, although there is no regret in death!"

After speaking, Zhang Lingfu and Wang Weiyi looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued.) )
