In Haining County, Chen Yanhua, who had been depressed for several days about not being able to participate in the battle of encircling and annihilating the 114th Division and the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, strode into the headquarters and handed him a telegram.

After reading it, Chen Yanhua said unhappily: "It's not our share to drink wine and eat meat, just let it be a trivial matter, I don't want to be the head of this regiment."

"What do you drink and eat meat, you should be a playhouse? Don't you see the great sacrifices of the regiments? ”

Zhang Dongning glanced at Chen Yanhua and scolded: "Besides, our work in the rear is not inferior to other main regiments at all, and the division specially called, saying that I want to give you Chen Yanhua a great credit."

Chen Yanhua pouted and did not speak.

Zhang Dongning frowned slightly, and said solemnly to Chen Yanhua: "Old Chen, our division has achieved an unprecedented victory, although the specific casualty figures have not been mentioned in the call from the division headquarters in the past few days, but you are an old soldier, you should be able to think that our division is estimated to be disabled, if there is no reserve soldier to replenish and no fresh blood is injected, our new second division will be destroyed imminently."

Zhang Dongning's words were serious, and they fell to Chen Yanhua's heart like Mount Tai.

Although he is usually a little muddy, Chen Yanhua has never been ambiguous when encountering major things, and this time is no exception, Chen Yanhua put away his unhappy thoughts and said uprightly: "Chief of Staff, you just make it clear, what do you want our regiment to do...... Even if I go up to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I won't frown. ”

"Gather the defeated troops and select elite soldiers and strong generals to join our new Second Division" Zhang Dongning said succinctly.

"Oh, is that still the case?"

Chen Yanhua waved his hand indifferently: "Chief of Staff, in the past few days, you have presided over the transfer of materials and paid attention to the Pinghu battle situation, and you are not clear about the progress of our work. So far, four regiments have been formed from the defeated troops collected by our regiment, but the number is the militia regiment. After these guys joined us, they didn't eat and sleep in the open, and they didn't have to worry about being shot as deserters, they tried every possible way to join us, my regiment has completed the expansion, and the task of sending reservists to Pinghu is not difficult to complete."

"What?"

Zhang Dongning's mind couldn't keep up for a while, and he asked again, and when he heard Chen Yanhua's affirmative answer, he understood, and sighed in his heart that Wu Ming had a unique vision, four days ago, he rushed to Haining County, simply handed over the task, and then began to deal with the material handling matters, during which he paid attention to the battle in Pinghu, and did not ask too much about the collection of the rout, but he didn't expect Chen Yanhua to complete it so well.

Zhang Dongning didn't know what to say at this time, Chen Yanhua used the guns and ammunition obtained from the British foreign company to quietly expand his supplementary regiment into three regiments, that is, one of his battalions was equivalent to one regiment for others. That's it, it's the result of this careful selection. In addition to the militia that formed four regiments, many unqualified soldiers were sent to dismantle the railroad and carry railroad tracks and other materials.

Zhang Dongning suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The five regiments of the Maoliangwu militia are heading to northeast Zhejiang and have now arrived in the Yuhang area, and Chen Yanhua has organized and trained four regiments of militia regiments, and at the same time, the unqualified soldiers have been formed into four transport regiments.

In this way, there is no shortage of reserve soldiers of the new Second Division, but only training and the centripetal force of the officers and men, which cannot be strengthened by surprise attack in a few days.

When Zhang Dongning was worried about the cohesion of the new recruits of the new Second Division, the director of the field hospital, Steve, also had a headache.

Faced with the many disheveled soldiers who broke into the Pinghu Field Hospital, Steve was furious, and he wanted to kick the uninvited guests out of the hospital, but the soldiers' garbled dialects made him unable to understand. Fortunately, he finally found a Northeast soldier who spoke official words, and he truthfully explained his experience of being a puppet army, which scared Steve a lot, and said in his heart What are these two devils doing when they come to the field hospital?

Just when he was about to use his knife and gun, a person with weight finally appeared-Major Zhang Dongchun, deputy chief of the Propaganda Section of the General Staff Office, had just walked into the gate of the hospital, and was grabbed by Steve and reprimanded with a cold face: "Now that the hospital is full of wounded soldiers, you still bring these puppet soldiers to the hospital to make trouble, if you don't make it clear, I won't finish with you today."

Zhang Dongchun is the cousin of Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning, but in front of Steve, he didn't dare to put on a stinky stand, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile to convey Wu Ming's order to Stevie.

Steve was shocked, pulled Zhang Dongchun to the side, pointed to the soldiers and said, "I agree to move the field hospital in advance, but it's just a little inappropriate to let these people who have been puppet soldiers come to help, right?" After all, they are people who have sold their lives to Japanese devils, in case something happens on the road...... Two field hospitals, more than 5,000 wounded and sick were all in their hands. This is no joke, you can't be cautious."

"If there are more troops, the division will not use these puppet troops."

Zhang Dongchun spread his hands helplessly: "Now that the battle situation has changed abruptly, there is no doubt that the field hospital must be transferred in advance." Dean Shi, although you can rest assured, these puppet soldiers have the handle in our hands, and they will definitely not dare to make trouble. Besides, our people are not vegetarians, don't they still have the guard platoon of the field hospital, the two platoons of the guard battalion sent by the division headquarters, and the officers and soldiers of the militia regiment of one regiment? Can't go wrong."

Steve glanced at Zhang Dongchun suspiciously: "Can you really guarantee that they won't make trouble?" ”

"Dean Shi, even if you don't believe me, but what a shrewd person Shizuo is, without a perfect arrangement, will he make this decision?" Zhang Dongchun patiently explained.

After the puppet army exposed each other, and then through the detection of urinating on the portrait of the Japanese emperor, those Japanese die-hard elements have long been eliminated, and now these puppet soldiers are ordinary people who are forced to pull strong people.

Zhang Dongchun, as Chiang Ching-kuo's deputy in the propaganda department, has already learned the brainwashing methods he brought back from the Soviet Union, and he believes that after completing this transfer mission, under ideological and political education and brainwashing, these puppet troops with no foundation will also be transformed into qualified fighters.

With the prestige of the new Second Division, even if they lent the courage of these puppet army leopards, they would not dare to make trouble on the way to the field hospital, not to mention anything else, they would go deep into the hinterland of China, and they would never dare to act rashly unless they made up their minds to die.

With Zhang Dongchun's assurance, Steve reluctantly agreed.

The Pinghu Field Hospital soon became busy, many wounded people were awakened, and Minzhuang, who was played by the puppet army, carefully supported the wounded soldiers.

The oxen and wagons collected from the homes of the nearby villagers were in place one after another, and the seriously wounded were soon carried into the carts, and the vanguard set off one after another. They will rush to the county seat of Haining, some by train, and the other by water, to western Zhejiang.

By noon, the rain finally stopped, and the temperature began to rise rapidly as the sun broke through the dark clouds and sprinkled its light on the earth. Trucks, buses, and ambulances belonging to the field hospital were dispatched one after another, and the people began to help support and carry the wounded and sick into the vehicles, and some people were assigned to load medicines and medical equipment.

Although Koharuko's injuries were not yet complete, he gave up the opportunity to ride in the vehicle to others, and he tried to use his crutches and slowly keep up with the pace of the large army. Fang Hong, who was taking care of the seriously injured on the stretcher, cast a concerned gaze from time to time.

The long procession rolled forward and stretched to the horizon.

On the coastal road north of Longhu Town, Luo Yuming led his officers and soldiers, either picking or carrying, to Zhapu Town.

At 10 a.m., Luo Yuming received an order from the division headquarters to retreat to Pinghu with his troops, formally receive the officers and men transferred from the supplementary brigade, replenish the first and second regiments, and restore combat strength as soon as possible. But he was reluctant to throw away the captured materials, so Yu Crisp found baskets and wooden boxes and transported all the things that were eye-catching.

It was already half past two in the afternoon, and the slightly westerly sun was shining on my body, steaming.

Luo Yuming put down his burden, unbuttoned his military uniform, gasped for breath, and shouted at the officers and soldiers under his command to rush forward.

At this moment, the plane, which had not been seen for several days, whizzed through the sky, drew a perfect arc, and then flew towards the sea.

Luo Yuming secretly scolded his mother, and said in his heart that this rain does not stop early or night, but he waits until his troops retreat, isn't it embarrassing? Hurriedly greeted at the moment: "Quick, speed up the march, it was the devil's reconnaissance plane that flew over just now, and the devil's plane will definitely have to come over in a while."

In order to avoid the fire coverage of the Japanese fleet's artillery group, Luo Yuming dispersed his soldiers in companies and platoons for transfer, and there was only one company following Luo Yuming at this time.

As soon as the officers and men heard this, they immediately quickened their speed and headed westward -- as long as they hid in the anticline of Jiulong Mountain and placed under the protection of the air defense forces, the Japanese fighters and fleet artillery groups were no longer a threat.

Four heavy machine guns mounted on four wagons full of wire and cable boxes that followed the company, and the machine gunners pressed the triggers and watched vigilantly at the distant sky.

After about a quarter of an hour, five small black dots appeared on the southern seashore, gradually getting bigger and bigger, and the roar of huge engines came closer and closer, and it seemed that they were about to reach the sky above the marching procession.

Luo Yuming grabbed Fan Daoquan's collar and shouted: "Old Fan, there is a large area of reeds by the Huanggutang River in front, you lead people to retreat into the reeds quickly, I will cover you with four heavy machine guns, move quickly"

Luo Yuming's movements were very rude, Fan Daoquan was not unhappy, but more moved-the brigade left the danger to himself, and Fan Daoquan's eyes were a little warm.

Seeing that Fan Dao didn't react, Luo Yuming was furious, slapped him on the shoulder, and shouted: "Niang Xipi, you should hurry up, don't bother Lao Tzu." ”

Fan Daoquan was excited, immediately beckoned his soldiers, and ran towards the reeds behind the small village named Gujiayan with his things on his shoulders.

The Japanese planes arrived in a blink of an eye, and the first fighters began to enter the dive trajectory.

"Da-da-"

A burst of heavy machine gun fire rang out, and four Type 92 heavy machine guns captured from the Japanese formed a rectangular phalanx, and a dense tongue of fire came out from the black muzzle, and angry bullets shot towards the plane rushing down at high speed.

The engine room of the Japanese 96 ship, which was in the process of diving, was instantly hit by a string of bullets, and the Japanese naval aviation, which was lucky enough to save its life, saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly came to an "H" shape to pull up, and with a string of smoke on its buttocks, it fled to the southern sky in embarrassment.

As soon as the four Japanese planes behind saw that the situation was not right, they immediately adjusted their direction in the air and chased after the reeds that had fled from the large army.

"Niang Xipi"

Luo Yuming saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly took four heavy machine guns and rushed towards the Huanggutang River, but how could they catch up with the speed of the plane's movement?

The four Japanese fighters were about to catch up with Fan Daoquan and the others who were lagging behind, and if Fan Daoquan threw down his burden, he could run into the reeds in one breath and avoid the strafing of the Japanese planes. But Fan Daoquan, who has always been thrifty, and several soldiers around him were unwilling to give up the materials they had hard-won, but only subconsciously accelerated and accelerated......

"Da-da-"

The low-flying Japanese fighter plane fired a burst of strafing, and the crazy bullets splashed a spark, and the two soldiers were bloodied all at once, but they were still trying to run forward, and then their bodies full of holes fell forward, and the blood that flew out of them stained the two baskets and the canned food purchased from the United States by Japan in them.

"Bang bang—"

At this moment, the sound of more than ten anti-aircraft guns bursting out of the reeds, in the ears of Fan Daoquan and Luo Yuming, who rushed over, this sound was as intoxicating as the most beautiful music in the world.

The tail of an airplane flying over the reeds was hit at once, and the smoking tail spun violently and fell towards a rice field in front of Lu's right.

"Yu Dehao, long live the anti-aircraft artillery battalion" Luo Yuming waved his fist hatefully.

The downing plane exploded violently, and then a burst of flames burst into the sky. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other three Japanese fighters suddenly pulled up and flew towards the blue sky.

The 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns chased the Japanese planes, and the shells fired by more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns formed an invisible huge net, shrouding in the direction of the escape of the Japanese planes, and the biplane bomber that fell behind was hit by the ammunition box and exploded in the air, and another 96 ship was hit on the right flank and rolled a few times, but it slowly regained its balance under the pilot's skillful piloting skills, and slowly flew towards the sea like a bird that had just learned to fly.

In a short exchange of fire, both sides suffered casualties, the new 2nd Division lost a few more fighters, and the Japanese lost two planes.

Gui Tao, who had a smug face, led a large group of men and horses and pushed anti-aircraft guns out of the reeds.

In order to support the operation of the soldiers at the front to transfer materials, he was ordered by Wu Ming to disassemble the three companies of the antiaircraft artillery battalion and the antiaircraft artillery companies of each artillery battalion and hide them in more than 10 key locations, and finally made meritorious contributions.
