The telegram order from the headquarters of the 11th Division made Mei Chunhua no longer able to enjoy his lunch, and under the telephone order of the combat staff officer, the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment urgently assembled in Lehua.

"How's the recruit training?"

The battalion directly under him was also assembling, and Feng Yi was asking several of his company platoon commanders.

"Battalion commander, it's only been a dozen days, and the training program has just passed; But fortunately, these people had a little foundation before. ”

Looking at Feng Yi's anxious look, Gao Yurong hurriedly changed his words; Not only Gao Yurong, but also Min Fei and Wang Lun also felt that the soldiers of these security regiments were still lacking a lot to be pulled into the battlefield to fight vicious battles.

"There are only more than 300 people in the battalion directly under the battalion, and Min Fei's heavy fire support platoon is the first to replenish, and the rest, several companies are divided equally."

"Gao Yurong, distribute ammunition to them, reorganize the team, and prepare for departure."

……

Feng Ye can't help it now, in the short repair, the battalion directly under him has not regained its combat effectiveness, in fact, it is still the remnants of more than 100 veterans who can fight now, and these recruits still have a long way to go.

These recruits can only be taught on the battlefield, and after a war, the immortal nature can grow; In fact, this is also the current situation of all Chinese troops, and there is simply not so much time for them to train properly.

"Boom......"

The 31st Brigade finally assembled at nightfall and embarked on the journey to Yongxiu, but fortunately, Lehua was only less than 30 kilometers away from Yongxiu, so there was no need to march in a hurry this time.

On the night march, no one lit torches, and if all the troops of the 11th Division were transferred to all torches, I am afraid that in less than half an hour, the devil's shells would be recruited, and at night, the target of the fire dragon was too big.

As a matter of fact, the 33rd Brigade was not slow in its footsteps, less than three kilometers behind the 31st Brigade, and as for the headquarters of the 11th Division, it had already arrived at Yongxiu at this time, and even the temporary barracks for repairs had already been arranged.

At dawn, the 31st and 33rd Brigades, with the help of the staff officers of the division headquarters, entered the camp backwards.

"The division commander ordered that officers above the regimental commander immediately go to the division headquarters for a meeting."

The herald of the division headquarters stood at the entrance of the barracks, shouting loudly, there were too many troops entering the barracks, and in the dim light of the fire, he really couldn't see who was who, so he could only shout here.

The officer who heard the order did not hesitate, and told the adjutant that after arranging for the brothers to rest, he broke away from the large army, looked here, and soon saw the division headquarters with the lights on; Here, too, only divisional headquarters and important intelligence departments have access to electric lights.

The assembly area of the 11th Division is just outside Yongxiu, since the Battle of Wuhan, there are a lot of troops coming and going in Yongxiu, and the local government has prepared three such temporary camps, but they are afraid that the soldiers will have no place to rest and break into the city.

Mei Chunhua took the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, as well as Long Zuocai and Luo Xianda to restrain their horses at the entrance of the division headquarters, and when they saw the heavily guarded soldiers around them, they felt that the atmosphere was unusual.

They walked quickly into the division headquarters, ignoring the exhaustion of their bodies, and went straight to the conference room under the guidance of a guard.

The conference room at the division headquarters was equally rudimentary, with a tattered bench in the center of the room, surrounded by benches, which were dim and damp in the dim light.

"Brigadier Mei, it's good for you to arrive, sit down and rest first, the division commander will be there soon."

Seeing Mei Chunhua coming in with a few officers, Chief of Staff Peng Zhancun beckoned them to sit in their seats.

Of course, it is not just brigade commanders and regiment commanders who attend the meeting, but in fact officers at the brigade level basically attend the meeting.

"Zla!"

The officer, who had just sat down, picked up the cigarette on the wooden table, drew a match and lit it, and the smell of nicotine began to permeate the dimly lit room.

In the dimly lit wooden house, the commanders of the brigades and regiments under the 11th Division arrived one after another, all of them were old faces, and the soldiers who met greeted each other, and the conference room gradually became lively.

No matter how fierce the battle is, at least there are very few officers above the regimental level who die in battle, not that these officers dare not go to the battlefield, but the battalion and company commanders have done almost everything that needs to be done desperately.

The 11th Division began with the Battle of Songhu, and they had more than 10,000 soldiers and officers killed on the battlefield, and it was enough to form an 11th Division.

Before the division commander Peng Shan arrived, the officers who walked into the conference room also found a place to sit down, the cigarettes on the table quickly disappeared, and the officers who came in behind took out their cigarettes, distributed them to familiar people, and talked with each other.

Accustomed to smoking on the battlefield, the conference room became darker, and the air was filled with smoke and the smell of tobacco.

"The division commander has arrived!"

With the shouts of the guards at the door, the officers sitting at the conference table stood up with a swoop, and the cigarettes in their hands naturally fell to the ground.

"Let's all sit down!"

Division Commander Peng Shan returned a military salute and asked everyone to sit down after taking the lead in sitting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I got the news at noon today, after the Japanese army attacked and captured Jiujiang, it attacked Ruichang and De'an at the same time, and just now, Ruichang has been lost."

Peng Shan didn't say useless words, and directly explained the current battle situation.

"The order we received was to attack the Japanese troops at Niujin Mountain, Arctic Peak, and Minshan Dawu, block the Japanese troops from both sides, and hold the flanks for the 74th Army and the First Corps; I now give the floor to the Chief of Staff to present the battle plan. ”

After Peng Shan finished speaking, his eyes swept around the officers, and he found that these officers did not have a timid look except for being a little tired, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

All the officers, including those who had withdrawn here from the mouth of the lake, were ready for battle, starting with the repair of fortifications, but from defensive to offensive; This switch may be different for other units, but for the 11th Division, they prefer to attack.

"According to intelligence, the Japanese troops who captured Ruichang and the line of Niujin Mountain, Arctic Peak, and Minshan Mansion were the Potian Detachment and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army; These two units have fought against our 11th Division, and even at Hukou a dozen days ago, we had just fought a battle with the Botian detachment; As for the Ninth Division, on the battlefield of Songhu, especially in the battle of Luodian, he owed us a lot of blood debts. ”

Peng Zhancun stood up, and did not immediately announce the order, but introduced the opponent of this battle to all the officers, he didn't know which unit he would encounter here, so he could only say the number of the devil troops that appeared in this area.

"Chief of Staff, just read the order! It doesn't matter what kind of devils it is, just fight it. ”

Ye Peigao, the deputy division commander, asked Peng Zhancun to continue, anyway, it was a devil, for the 11th Division, it didn't matter who the opponent was, this was the confidence of the elite.

"With the 31st Brigade as the main force, attack Niujin Mountain, Arctic Peak, and Minshan House, and the mountain artillery battalion of the division headquarters will provide you with artillery support; The 66th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade took over the positions around Zhushan, Daiyan Mountain, and Fangjia Dadao to provide flank cover for the 31st Brigade; The 33rd Regiment of the 65th Brigade followed up with the 31st Brigade as the reserve of the whole division......"

Peng Zhancun read out the battle plan of the division headquarters loudly, and now the devils who captured Ruichang are fighting with the surrounding troops, and after losing Ruichang, the commanders of the Chinese troops participating in the war no longer dare to retreat without authorization, and they can't get it back, but they can't let the devils continue to advance, and none of them are afraid of becoming the next officer to be executed by military law.
