For Yang Longfei, he is in a period of internal and external troubles, and a period of trouble. Especially in this yearβ€”β€”β€” the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China β€”β€”β€” 1937 AD. In this year, many major events have taken place in China alone that can change the future course of the country and even the direction of world history. Countless Chinese people have been tied to this long-standing historical express, forced to be involved in the torrent and dust of history with the rotation of the wheel, during this period, how many people have lost their lives, and how many people have completely changed their destiny? This is a lamentation of generosity that can never be counted and written in numbers and words......

In the eight years since the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, the arduous struggle against the Japanese invaders has officially begun. So far, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Nanjing and many other major battles that shocked China and foreign countries have been unveiled one after another......

On December 6, shortly after the Japanese 18th Division and the 6th Division conquered Jurong, they were vainly trying to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack the Chinese garrison in Tangshan, but unfortunately they were bumped into by Yang Longfei's troops, who had just been withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield. Coincidentally, both armies met on a narrow road after a major battle, and the soldiers on both sides were tense and bloodthirsty, leaving death behind them, and a vicious battle was on the verge of breaking out......

Yang Longfei's division was under the jurisdiction of the 67th Division of the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and had a reinforced regimental structure. As early as before the Battle of Songhu began, Yang Longfei's regiment entered Shanghai with its division commander Li Shusen as the main force to prepare for the battle, and its defensive position was set up in the Luodian area under the jurisdiction of Baoshan. It was a place of death that was called the "mill of flesh and blood" by the armies of both sides after the war, countless soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies were buried here, the main peak position changed hands repeatedly, and the battle lasted only one day, and the officers of the 67th Division were killed in three, and the number of casualties among the soldiers under his command was even more incalculable. At the end of the battle, the soldiers on both sides stepped out of their respective fortifications, picked up the cold weapons in their hands, and used their flesh and blood to fight the enemy for their lives. Yang Longfei, as the head of his main regiment, was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, he casually picked up a saber and fell into the scuffle first, with more than ten wounds, and finally it was picked up from the pile of dead when the follow-up troops cleaned up the battlefield, otherwise there would be no more today's story.

A reinforced regiment fought with a division of the Japanese army, and it was unimaginable in the eyes of others, but only a stunned young character like Yang Longfei could do it. He didn't care how numerically superior the enemy was, he only recognized one truth, Japan has a million army, and it is true that one is killed by one. Besides, it can't be fought hard, isn't there still an army of 150,000 in the city to support Lao Tzu? What is Lao Tzu afraid of?

The troops of the two sides fought fiercely on the front line of Tangshan, and the fierce gunfire seriously stimulated the officers and soldiers stationed in Tangshan, who looked over the city and looked, damn, isn't this our own team and the little devils fighting? didn't say it, as long as it's a little devil, even if it's a bandit, we have to help the field. The defenders of Tangshan were not ambiguous, and several German mortars blocking the castle tower opened fire immediately under the order of the commander of the castle tower, and after the artillery group that was discharged almost simultaneously landed, the position of the Japanese 18th Division was instantly turned into a sea of fire......

As the Japanese army had just finished fighting in Jurong, there was a sharp shortage of ammunition. However, the other side took advantage of the might of the Tangshan defenders and used heavy artillery on their fortifications, resulting in heavy casualties among the divisional soldiers. Forced by the situation, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army and commander of the 18th Division, who was unwilling to be defeated, had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

After entering the city, Captain Wei Guoying, the commander of the garrison of Tangshan Tower, thanked Yang Longfei and gave Yang Longfei a "Three Forts" brand cigarette after saluting Yang Longfei.

Yang Longfei lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, and said: "It's okay, I didn't drop the chain, we just fought the Japanese there, and your cannon went off here, I thought you had to lie on the city tower and watch the game......"

"Chief Yang is really joking, he is also a Chinese soldier, and I Wei Guoying don't rub sand in my eyes, as long as I beat up a little devil, no matter if he is * or a bandit, I have to help the field, not to mention our own team." Wei Guoying laughed half-jokingly.

"Okay, with you, this sentence will become a ......" Yang Longfei patted Wei Guoying's shoulder with his hand, "Our regiment was ordered by Commander Tang to enter the city defense of Nanjing, and I am going to the garrison headquarters to meet the commander now, do I need to go through any procedures with you?" ”

"No, Chief Yang's name is like thunder, as early as three months ago during the 'August 13' battle, I heard that Chief Yang led the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to face several times the Japanese army with broadswords, the Battle of Luodian, Chief Yang became famous in the first battle, and the Third Theater Headquarters telegraphed to commend him, and none of the officers and soldiers of the national army in the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui jurisdictions did not know the name of Chief Yang. With this, it is more useful than as many procedures, you just have to enter the city. ”

Yang Longfei smiled faintly after hearing this, and returned a military salute to him to show respect: "Don't leave it at that, if we are both alive after this battle is over, we can take the time to go out for a drink." ”

"That's a humble honor, Chief Yang go slowly!"

……

Before Yang Longfei's troops entered Nanjing City, the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters was already in chaos. Less than a month ago, General Tang Shengzhi, who had just been appointed commander of the Nanjing garrison, made an impassioned promise to the leaders and fellow colleagues to swear to live and die with Nanjing. From that moment on, Tang Shengzhi walked on the pinnacle of his life, went to a higher level on the basis of the "main battle faction", and became a national hero admired by the whole country. But Tang Shengzhi, who has been in battle for a long time, understands in his heart that heroes are not so easy to be, and at present, the Japanese army has almost surrounded Nanjing City like an iron bucket, and the troops that can be commanded and transferred under his command are only 150,000 people, and not all of them are the elite of the party-state, but the Japanese army has 200,000 troops, and the follow-up troops are constantly coming to support.

Coincidentally, as soon as Yang Longfei walked into the second floor of the garrison headquarters, he saw two acquaintances from Huangpu in the past, and these two old acquaintances were still quarreling with the receptionist of the General Staff......

"What's the matter, Lao Wang, how many people have to come out? There are seven or eight of them that I have seen, and I haven't even figured out the operational deployment of our regiment, and it took me more than an hour to do it here! I said, are you going to let me in? If you don't let me in, I'll break in......" Fang Luocheng, the commander of the 67th regiment, was extremely excited under the repeated obstruction of the receptionist, he felt that the headquarters was hanging him here as if he was a rag, and he was also the leader of the main regiment, and he didn't take himself seriously, right?

Tie Haichuan, the commander of the 89th regiment, was also a little impatient: "That's it, I came earlier, I've been here for almost two hours, what kind of treasure did Chief Tang bet, he didn't have to see us until the end, there are still a lot of things going on at my regiment headquarters, and he called me to urge me to go back just now, no matter what, don't delay our business, okay?" ”

Receptionist Wang tried his best to block Fang Luocheng and Tie Haichuan outside the door, and shouted hissedly: "Two chiefs, don't rush in first, listen to my explanation...... I was also ordered by Chief Tang, I must wait for Chief Yang Longfei and Chief Yang to arrive before I can let you go in together, this is the order of the chief, I really can't be accommodating......"

"Fart, I've been here for a long time to wait for him? Maybe the cat is sleeping right now, and if he doesn't come today, we'll have to wait here for his dog's night? No, it's so bullying, let me in! I'm going to explain the situation to Chief Tang! Hey, you're not going to let me in, are you? Believe it or not, I pumped you? Fang Luocheng raised his slap as he spoke......

Receptionist Wang lowered his head as much as he could, avoiding Fang Luocheng's palm that might be fanned at any time: "Sir Fang, I am a receptionist, and I am also under the orders of the chief, even if you kill me, I can't let you in...... Alas, Chief Yang? Is it Chief Yang? Ouch, you can count it, if you don't come again, my body will have to fall apart......" At the same time as he raised his head and begged for mercy, he suddenly saw Yang Longfei standing opposite him, and rushed over as if he had seen a life-saving benefactor, and saluted Yang Longfei again.

Fang Luocheng and Tie Haichuan looked at each other for a few seconds, and then they pretended to shout loudly: "Yo, isn't this our Yang Longfei Yang Regiment Leader?" I said Commander Yang, I heard that your regiment fought well in Luodian, and the entire war zone has been awarded a general order, what's the matter? Could it be that the devil meat in Shanghai has not been addicted, and they have come to Nanjing to grab food with us again? ”

"It's not a grab, it's an extra meal, do you think Lao Tzu's troops are here, can you still have the opportunity to eat meat on your dog day? You rabbit cub, you don't forget to spoil Lao Tzu behind your back! As he spoke, Yang Longfei clenched his thick fist and slammed it on Fang Luocheng's chest, changing the grim expression when he was talking to Captain Wei Guoying, the commander of the Tangshan garrison just now, and he looked extremely relaxed, and his conversation became vulgar.

"Alas, it's right to spoil it, who are our brothers with whom? When I was studying in Huangpu, I was treated as a dead friend by other instructors, and now I can't avoid vulgarity, right? I said, you can make Lao Tzu wait, didn't you have a white-knuckle battle with the devil in Luodian? What's the big deal? Still with a stinky shelf? ”

Before Yang Longfei could scold back, Tie Haichuan respectfully saluted Yang Longfei: "Brother Longfei, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yang Longfei shook hands with him after returning the salute: "I haven't seen him for a few years, you kid is capable, and you have also mixed up with the rank of colonel?" We're all on an equal footing with us......"

"This is nothing, even if the brothers change their stars at this time, and when they see the faces of the two brothers, they still have to stand up and salute, this is the rule of Whampoa, no matter how big or small the official is, only look at the qualifications."

The three of them were greeting each other, and the receptionist Wang, who was hanging aside, hurriedly urged: "Sir Fang, you don't complain about the humble position that stopped you just now, right?" If the three chiefs are almost greetings, let's go in quickly, Chief Tang is probably waiting inside......
