Liu Tiehan remembered the tense situation on the front line in Texas, the entire defense line was already crumbling, and every minute of delay would put the troops under additional pressure, he made an appointment with these division commanders and brigade commanders overnight, warmly welcomed them to join the ranks of the Northeast Advance Command of the Independent Division, and reorganized the troops of the former Third Army in accordance with the sequence of the troops in the east.

Soon, in Jinan Airport, the horn of the emergency meeting sounded, the sleeping barracks, boiling, hundreds of officers at all levels, from different directions, gathered over, Liu Tiehan looked at the soldiers who turned out to be Han Fuyu, at this time, they were already their own subordinates, and read out the reorganization order aloud.

The original 103rd Division of the Third Group Army was reorganized into the 9th Dongzhi Advance Brigade, with Feng Kai as the brigade commander, the 82nd Division was reorganized into the 10th Dongzhi Advance Brigade, Chen Guozhu was the brigade commander, the 53rd Division was reorganized into the 11th Dongzhi Advance Brigade, Liu Jinlong was the brigade commander, the 45th Division was reorganized into the 12th Dongzhi Brigade, Liao Zhenbang was the brigade commander, the Independent Brigade was reorganized into the Dongzhi Regiment, and Wang Yinshan was the regiment commander.

Announcing the complete compilation order, Liu Tiehan said apologetically:

"Officers, the positions have been reduced by one level, this is the establishment sequence of the independent division, and it is also the regulation of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the national government, you have to be wronged, however, at present, the war in Texas is tight, the military uniforms and numbers of the troops, as well as weapons and equipment, and so on After the end of the war, all the staff will immediately change their clothes, and the shortage of food and salary by Han Fuyu will be immediately made up by the logistics department of the East Finger, you can tell you in advance, and I also hope to convey to all the soldiers, the treatment of the independent division is the best among all the troops in the national government, and in the future, everyone will be the people of the independent divisionI hope that we will work together to expel the Japanese invaders from the country. ”

As soon as Liu Tiehan's words fell, the hundreds of officers who participated in the reorganization expressed their feelings with stormy applause, in the future, we will also be a unit of the Central Military System, not to mention, it is still a unit of the famous North China Independent Division, and they all say that they will follow the wolf to eat meat, follow the dog to eat, and follow the North China Independent Division, and they will not show the prestige of our Shandong people, and they will also take off the infamy of being a deserter under Han Fuyu, they are all soldiers, and they will not be worse than other troops?

A completely different momentum rose from the venue, and once a unit was injected with new vitality and spirit, it immediately felt like it had been reborn, although it was still in its original military uniform, but in its heart, it had already been identified as a person of an independent division.

Then, a new appointment was announced, based on the regiment directly under the East Finger, including the East Command Reinforced Battalion guarding the airport, and the Jinan City Garrison Command was formed, with Wang Yinshan as the commander and Su Qi, the commander of the East Command Reinforced Battalion, as the deputy commander.

At the same time, military control was imposed on Jinan City, and those soldiers and lawbreakers who took advantage of the chaos to rob, rob citizens' property, rob public property, rape women, kill people and set fires, and severely suppressed and killed those who were killed. If one of the above situations is discovered, the armed patrol of the garrison headquarters may immediately open fire without asking for instructions.

When Liu Tiehan announced this order, his eyes were full of cold light, and the iron-blooded momentum that had been on the battlefield for a long time rose in an instant, and the murderous aura overflowed, and these officers of the former Third Army shrank their necks, daring to be affectionate, our commander-in-chief is not a person to be messed with, and the contact time is very short, this moment left a deep impression on them, and also gave them a new understanding of the senior commander of the independent division.

After the meeting, all the brigade commanders and regiment commanders were left behind, and a military meeting was held to discuss the specific operational arrangements for the new troops to go to the front line in Dezhou, and Wang Yinshan, the head of the regiment directly under him, provided an important information, that his original unit was stationed on the Yellow River defense line in Jinan, close to the artillery brigade of the Third Group Army, and when he retreated, he saw those artillerymen, driving cars, riding horses, riding horses, and throwing down hundreds of large-caliber river defense guns and no one cared about them.

I remember that I scolded these guys fiercely at that time, it was distressing to watch, now, everyone is fighting for their lives, how can they care about others, those cannons, they must still be in place, Liu Tiehan immediately came to the spiritual head, he has been worried about the East Command Army, the lack of artillery firepower, this time, Han Fuyu sent another artillery brigade, it is really a good thing, there are many today.

He immediately ordered Wang Yinshan's regiment directly under him to rush to the artillery position overnight, be sure to protect those artillery, and draw soldiers with experience in operating artillery from various brigades to form the Dongzhi Artillery Brigade.

After all the deployment arrangements were completed, the reserve brigade went to prepare for tomorrow's departure, and when Han Fuyu's descendant troops fled, they discarded a lot of weapons, and, in the eastern suburbs of Jinan, there was also a large arsenal, which was controlled by Feng Kai's troops, and there was a battalion of troops guarding there, which was even better, the icing on the cake, all the troops, according to the order of establishment, changed their equipment in turn.

Coming out of the conference room, it was already about three o'clock in the morning, Liu Tiehan was dominated by excitement, no sleep, he came to the station of the air force again, where to look, he was stunned, all the pilots, did not rest, there was a lot of discussion, seeing Liu Tiehan coming, these pilots, gathered around.

It turned out that they were discussing where to go in the future and escaping with Han Fuyu, which would definitely not be done, where the infantry reorganization was in full swing, but no one cared about it here, and I don't know what General Liu thought? There may be no one who has the eyes of others and dislikes our background, if that's the case, hurry up and find a way out.

Liu Tiehan apologized again and again, patronizing the busy infantry, and neglecting these winged people, in the eyes of the division commander, these are all baby bumps, how can he let go, he said that the independent division is in Dingbian, Shaanxi, there is an aviation school, and on behalf of the independent division Dingbian aviation school, welcome all the proud sons of heaven to join.

There is a place to go, and General Liu's attitude is very sincere, these pilots are active, they propose a Jianyi, before flying to the border, can they contribute something to the Texas front, all the planes, are full of ammunition, to bomb the little devil's position, keep it so that the Japanese soldiers can turn on their backs and suffer a lot.

In the sky of North China, there is no Japanese air power, Liu Tiehan knows, there is no danger in this battle, he also hopes to use guò air strikes to weaken the Japanese offensive, however, this matter has to be proposed by Han Fuyu's pilots, their mention is in line with their own thoughts, so they happily approved the pilots' request for war, and these pilots cheered to prepare to throw bombs on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

The Third Army Air Force has 37 planes of various types, and the models are quite miscellaneous, all of which are in that country, and the models are not uniform, among them, there are 20 fighters, 10 bombers, and 7 transport planes.

Facing the thin light of dawn, Liu Tiehan immediately returned to the front line in Texas, behind him, there were nearly 60,000 troops in four brigades, which were being assembled, and the mood when he returned was very different from when he came, behind him, there were 60,000 troops about to drive over, and his heart was full of confidence in whether he could hold the Texas defense line.

When passing by the Yellow River crossing, he was still thinking about the hundreds of large-caliber river defense guns, and deliberately detoured to the past, Wang Yinshan came from afar to meet his commander, Liu Tiehan saw that along the bank of the Yellow River, a slip of artillery, squatting there silently, like a group of wronged children, everywhere are discarded shell boxes, and various instruments, it can be seen that when Han Fuyu's artillery escaped, the panic and wolf bèi.

Liu Tiehan sighed secretly, it's a pity that these artillery, Han Fuyu is in Shandong, how much oil and water has been scraped, and he has bought these belongings, just with Han Fuyu's strength, he can fight alone with the Japanese army that invaded Dezhou, but unfortunately, he has these weapons empty, not a single shot, not a single shot, not even a shadow of the Japanese, the soles of his feet are oiled, and he runs away, I really don't know how he will face the Shandong fathers and elders in the future, how to face the Chinese people.

I have to thank him, if you don't run, how can these big guys fall into their hands, just the front line is urgently needed, he ordered Wang Yinshan, in the name of the Jinan Garrison Command in Shandong Province, in Jinan and the surrounding cities of Jinan, to requisition a large number of trucks to tow these heavy artillery, he can see that these big guys have to get trucks, mules and horses are powerless.

When Liu Tiehan rushed back to the front line in Dezhou, it happened that an attack launched by the Japanese army had just been repulsed, but the Dashan defense line, because of the defense of the advancing Seventh Brigade Wan Fulin Division, the troops were consumed too much, and the first line of defense was broken by the Japanese army.

Brigade Commander Wan called just now, asking the chief of staff to tell the commander-in-chief to ensure that the second line of defense will not be lost, unless the little devil steps on his corpse, the seventh brigade will also fight to the last man, and after dark, he will organize a death squad to take the first line of defense back.

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's report, Liu Tiehan pondered for a long time, this is the first forward position lost by the Dongzhi troops after a few days of fierce fighting, and it can be judged that the Japanese army will definitely concentrate its forces and rely on this breakthrough to storm the second line of defense of the Seventh Brigade, the situation of the Seventh Brigade is very dangerous, and the troops are fighting very hard.

Moreover, Wan Fulin was ready to die in battle, what he asked Zhao Yuhe to convey to himself was a kind of determination, a determination to die, and it was not a last word, Zhao Yuhe also told him, according to the correspondent who conveyed the order, he came back and said that Brigade Commander Wan had always been in command on the front line, and personally led the troops to carry out many counter-assaults, and had already suffered three gunshot wounds.

Before the arrival of the four new brigades, the mountain direction of the Seventh Brigade is the most dangerous point of the Texas defense line, and if this danger is not eliminated, a few days of bloody battles will be meaningless, but what method will be used?

The use of troops has reached the limit, and there is no way to draw troops in that direction, Liu Tiehan pondered in front of the map, and a bold idea came to mind, but this method is more risky.
