On September 20, the Japanese Chahar sent the main force of the corps to the south again, and the army drove straight in, and soon again attacked the city of Tianzhen, although the Japanese army did not immediately attack, but it caused great pressure on the 61st Army.

The 61st Army, which had just gone through a vicious battle, had not received much replenishment from the second war zone, not to mention the lack of soldiers and soldiers, and the ammunition in stock was not enough to support a fierce battle, so Li Fuying's telegram for help was sent to Yanmen Pass and Taiyuan one by one.

The 61st Army was subordinate to the battle sequence of Fu Zuoyi's Seventh Army, so after receiving Li Fuying's telegram, Fu Zuoyi originally planned to let Chen Feng's 222nd Division immediately move south to occupy the flank of Tianzhen County, and plan for the 61st Army to defend the city.

But soon Fu Zuoyi received a telegram from the 222nd Division, a complete infantry brigade of the Japanese army, plus a mixed wing and two cavalry divisions of the puppet army, a total of more than 18,000 people, with artillery, chariots, airplanes and many other types of troops, set off from Wanquan and came all the way to the west.

In addition, a partial division of the Japanese army stationed in Zhangbei also sent a mixed detachment consisting of a chariot brigade and an infantry brigade yesterday to Xinghe from Zhangbei.

After receiving the telegram from Chen Feng, Fu Zuoyi deduced on the map for a while, and immediately frowned. The Japanese army is completely besieging Xinghe, don't look at the main force of the Har Dispatch Corps is now in Tianzhen, but it can go north at any time to participate in the attack on Chen Feng's department.

If this is really the case, then the situation of the 222nd Division will be in suspense. Although the 222nd Division is an establishment of a B division, it has just been expanded for less than ten days, and the additional troops and weapons and equipment promised to the 222nd Division in the Second War Zone are still on the way.

Moreover, this regiment has just gone through a fierce battle, not to mention competing with a total of 20,000 troops on both sides of the Japanese army, even an infantry wing is enough for the 222nd Division to drink a pot.

Now it's not how to get the 222nd Division to reinforce the 61st Army, but how to find a way to reinforce the 222nd Division. Compared with the 61st Army, the 222nd Division is obviously more important, because this division has already registered with the old man in Nanjing, and his old commander Yan Dashuai also values this army.

The main force of the Seventh Army is now at Yanmen Pass, about two days away from Xinghe, and the advance of the Japanese army is already about to reach the junction of Wanquan and Xinghe, and it may be too late for reinforcements.

After thinking about it, Commander Fu decided to order the 222nd Division to withdraw from Xinghe immediately and temporarily avoid the Japanese front.

The telegram was sent to Xinghe, but Chen Feng replied to Fu Zuoyi, the independent 222nd Division shouldered the responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the war, and it would definitely not and could not retreat, because this is his Chen Feng's hometown, and it is also the hometown of the vast majority of the soldiers of the 222nd Division.

After receiving Chen Feng's telegram, Fu Zuoyi was furious and scolded Chen Feng, a little bastard, for not knowing the overall situation. The Japanese army is now attacking Tianzhen on the surface, but the actual target is his 222nd Division, and the Japanese army is in full swing, and it would be unwise to fight it head-on.

Moreover, more than half of the main force of the Jin Sui Army is now placed in the area of Yingxian and Daixian, and the Fifth Division of Itagaki Seishiro is strictly guarded, and even the elite 35th Army of his Seventh Army has also been transferred to the Jindong defense line, and it is no longer able to send troops to reinforce Xinghe. In addition, Xinghe is only a small county town, there is no danger to defend at all, and there is no way for the 222nd Division to retreat.

However, Chen Feng was determined to fight the little devil to the death, and no matter how Fu Zuoyi persuaded and ordered, it was useless, which made Commander Fu very annoyed. He has been in the army for more than 30 years, and he has never seen such a stubborn donkey. It's a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, but it doesn't retreat, what can you do with me?

In desperation, Fu Zuoyi had no choice but to report to the Commander's Department of the Second War Zone and let Chief Yan deal with his future uncle by himself, he really had no choice.

Yan Xishan also frowned after receiving the telegram from Fu Zuoyi, according to this old man's thoughts, Xinghe is a poor place, a county town with a big fart, few land and poor people, the population of the county is less than 100,000, and it is not a pity to lose it. If Chen Feng's department is put in because of this small county, it will obviously be a bit more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Yan Xishan only thought about it for a few minutes, and then asked the adjutant to send a report to Chen Feng's headquarters, ordering the 222nd Division to immediately withdraw to Jining in the name of the headquarters of the Second World War Zone.

This old man feels good about himself, thinking that he, the commander of the theater of operations, personally sent the report, and I think that bastard boy should not resist.

But soon Yan Laoxi's face became iron-blue, not that 222 was disobeying his order, but that people did not answer the telegram he sent at all, and the operator said that the 222nd Division had entered a state of radio silence, and he could not search for the signal of the 222nd Division's radio.

Although the little devil is a big soldier pressing the territory, but he has not yet launched an attack, and now he has entered a state of bullshit radio silence, obviously because people are unwilling to be disturbed, and they are wholeheartedly defending the small place where the ditch is big.

In desperation, Yan Laoxi could only find a way to reinforce this bastard boy, no way, who let the current 222nd Division be a heroic unit held up by Nanjing and him Yan Laoxi, and it is a banner of the National War of Resistance. If this banner falls, it will inevitably be a major blow to the anti-Japanese war upsurge across the country.

"Where are the reinforcements for the 222nd Division now?" Yan Xishan asked with a frown.

The adjutant on the side hurriedly replied: "It has already passed Datong, a total of 1,088 people in 8 recruit companies, and 2,000 new rifles, 30 light and heavy machine guns, 300 flower machines (submachine guns), 1 million rounds of various ammunition, and 150,000 oceans were sent to the 222nd Division at the same time. ”

"Which troop escorted it?" Yan Xishan asked again.

"Report to the marshal, it is a guard battalion in the war zone, with a total of more than 500 people."

"Order this guard battalion to immediately start the battle sequence assigned to the 222nd Division, and at the same time transfer a cavalry regiment from Daixian to urgently go north to reinforce the 222nd Division, and send a report to the Seventh Army, ordering them to immediately move to Zuoyun and Youyu, and be ready to reinforce the 61st Army and the 222nd Division at any time."

In fact, Chen Feng also knew that retreating now was the wisest choice, after all, Xinghe did not have much value in defending it. This place is small and poor, and the county seat is pitiful, even if it is occupied by little devils, it doesn't matter. Besides, all the villagers in Xinghe County have their own spare residences, and it is really not possible for the whole county to go underground, so it is not a good thing for the little devils to guard such an empty county seat.

But how can there be a task in his body, the constraints of that bullshit system are there, once the little devil occupies Xinghe County, then the task of defending Xinghe County will be considered a complete failure, which Chen Feng absolutely cannot tolerate.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 20th, the brigade-level military cadres of the 222nd Division held an emergency meeting in Xinghe County.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Feng first made a report on the enemy situation: "Everyone, the little devil is not dead, the two armies besieged our army station, all the way led by the Japanese chief Abe Guixiu, with a total strength of about 18,000 people, including more than 11,000 Japanese troops, and the rest are puppet troops. The Japanese army has now crossed the Dongyang River and the Xiyang River, and at the same time occupied Chaigou Fort, and at most tomorrow will be able to enter Gaomiaozi. The commander of the other road is unknown, there is a chariot brigade and an infantry brigade, with a total strength of about 1,600 people, equipped with more than 40 chariots, this road of Japanese troops set out from Zhangbei, and has now reached 25 kilometers north of Shangyi, with their speed, they can reach Shangyi this evening, and they can kill Xinghe City tomorrow morning. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Xinghe is not a strategic location, but this is my Chen Feng's hometown, and it is also the hometown of most of our 222 brothers. Everyone thinks about how to fight this battle? Chen Feng said loudly.

"Division, the little devil is prepared this time, there are more than 20,000 people in the two armies, and they are also equipped with aircraft, artillery and chariots, it seems that the little devil is bound to win, this time I am afraid there will be a tough battle." Li Wensheng said with a frown.

"The little devils are indeed bound to win our 222nd Division, but I'm afraid they will be empty again this time." Chief of Staff Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that our chief of staff is already in the chest, let's talk about it, how is the little devil fetching water with a bamboo basket?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"It's very simple, don't look at the little devil's momentum now, but a careful analysis can show that in fact, the little devil doesn't have many advantages. In terms of troops, the 20,000-day puppet army, the real combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is only about 13,000 people, and the remaining 7,000 are puppet troops. Although it is not clear how many troops the brigade commanders have in their hands now, the total strength should not be less than 25,000 people, so we will not be less than the enemy in terms of strength. We are not bad in terms of weapons and equipment, the Japanese army came to a field artillery brigade this time, but we also have our own artillery regiment, the little devils have tank troops, we have our own earth dog troops, the little devils have airplanes, and we have anti-aircraft machine guns that have just come off the assembly line. In addition, the Mauser rifles in the hands of our soldiers are better than the 38 big covers of the little devils, and the Czech light machine guns are also better than the crooked handles of the little devils. Besides, we still have a reincarnation Zhuge like Shizuo in charge, how can the little devil be invincible. Yang Yi explained with a smile, and slapped Chen Feng silently on the back.
