Jin Zhao was chatting with the ace pilots, when a captain officer hurriedly ran over, walked in front of Jin Zhao and immediately stopped, "Smack!" He saluted an incomparably standard military salute and said loudly, "Report to the commander-in-chief!" There is an urgent military situation at the front, the chief of staff asks you to return to the headquarters immediately! ”

"Got it!" Jin Zhao responded casually, then turned to Gao Zhihang and the others and said, "I'm really sorry!" Originally, I wanted to have a good chat with you, but the military affairs are busy and the front-line war is tense, so I can only wait for the next time! When this battle is over, I will give you a celebration feast! ”

Gao Zhihang nodded in understanding and said, "Since the military situation is urgent, we will not delay the precious time of the commander-in-chief!" Saying that, everyone saluted Jin Zhao in unison.

Jin Zhao also replied with a serious expression, and at this time, three black cars drove over, Jin Zhao immediately got into a car, and the car slowly drove out of the airport!

"What's going on?" Jin Zhao asked loudly as soon as he walked into the door of the headquarters.

"Headquarters!" Wen Yingxing saw that Jin Zhao was back, and hurriedly greeted him, "The main force of the 10th Army has captured Jiaxing, and Jiaxing has been lost!" ”

Hearing the news of the loss of Jiaxing, Jin Zhao was not the slightest surprised, but his brows couldn't help frowning, and he looked at the sand table in front of him, "The speed of the little devil is very fast!" ”

"And! The 114th Division of the Army is advancing in the direction of Huzhou! Wen Yingxing continued.

"Huzhou must not be lost!" Jin Zhao said undoubtedly, "Which army is stationed in Huzhou now?" ”

"There are no formed troops stationed in Huzhou, only some defeated troops who retreated from the Songhu battlefield!" Wen Yingxing shook his head helplessly.

Jin Zhao couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "Where are our troops now?" ”

"The 202nd Division and the 205th Division have rushed to the outside of Hangzhou, but these two divisions have more heavy equipment, only the vanguard troops have arrived, and the follow-up troops are estimated to wait until this afternoon to tomorrow morning!" Wen Yingxing said worriedly.

Hearing Wen Yingxing say this, Jin Zhao couldn't help frowning, "Order the national defense regiment to assemble quickly and prepare to reinforce Huzhou with me!" "Due to the relatively small amount of heavy equipment, the 1st National Defense Regiment rushed to Hangzhou ahead of schedule.

"Total seat! Are you going to Huzhou in person? Wen Yingxing asked in surprise when he heard this.

Jin Zhao nodded and said, "Tang Shengzhi is afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so he refuses to transfer the civilians in Nanjing in advance, and this bastard wants to follow the example of the ancients and prepare to fight against the water!" Hum! For the safety of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Nanjing, we must not lose this battle! After a pause, Jin Zhao continued, "The army is divided into two routes, north and south, with Matsui Shigen's Shanghai Dispatch Army as the main force on the north road, and Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army as the main force on the south road, in an attempt to advance on both sides and attack Nanjing!" So I plan to defeat Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army first, and then lead the main force to reinforce Nanjing to defeat Matsui Ishine's Northern Route Army! ”

Hearing Jin Zhao say this, Wen Yingxing nodded at first, obviously agreeing with Jin Zhao's strategy, but then frowned again, "But Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army has more than 100,000 little devils, we don't have an advantage in troops, and it is not so easy to completely defeat the 10th Army!" ”

"So Huzhou is very important, it must not be lost, once Huzhou is lost, the little devil can drive straight into the city of Nanjing! That's why I plan to personally lead troops to reinforce Huzhou. Jin Zhao smoked a cigarette and lit it and said slowly.

"But the head seat is the commander of the three armies, how can he be in danger!" Wen Yingxing hurriedly persuaded.

"Time is running out now! I'm not at ease when others go! Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, and then called Xu Wenqiang over, "Immediately notify the National Defense Regiment to assemble immediately, and then quickly reinforce Huzhou City!" In addition, the first battalion of the guard regiment immediately gathered and went to Huzhou with me! ”

"Yes!" Xu Wenqiang answered, and then turned around to convey the order.

At this time, Jin Zhao turned his head and said to Wen Yingxing, "Chief of Staff, after the main force of our army arrives, immediately order them to advance in the direction of Xinshi and Lianshi, and be sure to block the army attacking from the west from the direction of Jiaxing!" The headquarters will be handed over to you, and I will be notified immediately if there is any situation! Good bye! After speaking, Jin Zhao smiled and turned around and left the headquarters.

Wen Yingxing shook his head helplessly, no wonder the Fujian army often has the phenomenon of division commanders leading the charge, it turns out that the root is here! Wen Yingxing knew that it would be futile to persuade him again, so he didn't persuade anymore, but chased him all the way, told Jin Zhao to pay attention to safety, and at the same time told Xu Wenqiang to protect the main seat.

As soon as Jin Zhao went out, he found that hundreds of soldiers from the first battalion of the guard regiment were waiting for him in a neat line, Jin Zhao glanced at the energetic soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's go!" After speaking, Jin Zhao turned around and boarded an armored command vehicle parked next to him.

At this time, the officers and men of the first battalion also climbed onto the armored transport vehicles parked on the side of the road, and the "boom" armored vehicles started one after another, and then formed a rolling torrent and drove out of the city.

At the same time, the garrison of the First National Defense Regiment outside Hangzhou City also became lively in an instant, and the officers and soldiers in the camp were rapidly assembling. Regiment Commander Zhou Bin and Regiment Chief of Staff Liu Hongzhi looked at the scene in front of them with serious faces, both of them turned out to be instructors at the Army Academy of the National Defense University, and they were only dropped after the establishment of the First National Defense Regiment. Ninety percent of the officers of the First National Defense Regiment are graduates or instructors of the National Defense University. However, the current National Defense Regiment has no regular establishment at all, and nominally belongs to the school guard army of the National Defense University.

"I heard that this time the head office personally led the team to reinforce Huzhou?" Liu Hongzhi said with a frown.

"Yes!" Zhou Bin nodded silently, and said after a while, "This battle is also the first battle since the formation of our national defense regiment, and it is personally led by the general seat, so we must fight this battle well and show the majesty of our national defense regiment!" ”

"Tuanza, you can rest assured! The brothers have been training so hard for so long that they are waiting for this day! Liu Hongzhi said with a smile.

Zhou Bin nodded, then frowned and said, "The action is too slow, let them speed up!" Don't be like a! ”

"Report to the group! The National Defense Regiment has been assembled! You can go at any time, please instruct! At this time, a major officer ran over and reported loudly.

"Good!" A murderous aura immediately flashed on Zhou Bin's face, and then he ordered loudly, "Immediately take the armored battalion as the vanguard, the infantry battalion will follow, and the artillery battalion will be the rearguard, and rush to the aid of Huzhou!" Let's go! "The 1st National Defense Regiment is a reinforced regiment, in addition to having three infantry battalions, it also has an armored battalion and an artillery battalion, plus reconnaissance companies, guard companies, baggage companies and other directly subordinate troops, the whole regiment has nearly 4,000 people, and the strength is almost equivalent to a brigade of the Central Army and an infantry wing of the little devils.
