"Please, I know what to do!" After listening to Jiang Qiang's instructions, Ren Yixiong gritted his teeth and nodded, then turned around and picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, and after dialing the phone, he ordered loudly: "Zhang Jiang, be sure to let the brothers suppress their anger, don't blindly carry out counter-charge, your department only needs to hold the last line of defense!" If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost; Save people and lose land, and everyone and land will be gained! It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and as a commander, you can't be blinded by hatred!

Also, let one regiment withdraw to rest, and the position will be taken over by your four regiments! After a morning of bloody battles of life and death, the officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade were red-eyed from top to bottom, full of anger and enemies that made everyone forget about life, death and pain, and there was only one obsession left in their hearts and eyes: kill all the little devils! In just two or three hours, the number of casualties in the first regiment was as high as more than 2,000, and now there are only less than 500 remnants left, which can be regarded as completely disabled!

In the past few days, the total number of casualties of the Third Brigade has reached more than 3,300, and more than 500 people have been seriously injured and reduced, which is equivalent to the defeat of a regiment! From the original Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment to the current Third Brigade of the Asian Liberation Army, Ren Yixiong has suffered such a big loss for the first time!

What made Ren Yixiong most angry was that the Japanese devils not only used fire bombs to bomb the county indiscriminately, but also used poison gas bombs on a large scale again, causing serious casualties to the soldiers and civilians in Jiaoxian! There was a catastrophic fire in the county seat of Jiaoxian, many fire rescue team commanders and fighters are organizing emergency firefighting, and soldiers outside the city are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army, bleeding and dying all the time!

As the supreme commander of the Third Brigade, Ren Yixiong's heart is naturally full of boundless hatred and anger, and what he wants to do most now is to take revenge and return the color! However, Ren Yixiong knew very well that the more he was at this time, the more he had to stay calm, although the fortified line that was captured by the Japanese army was blown to pieces, it could still provide excellent defensive cover! In this case, if the troops are organized to attack hard and regain the position, they will definitely pay a great price for casualties!

Therefore, even if there is no clear order from Jiang Qiang, Ren Yixiong has to hold back this breath first! "Everyone obeys the order, immediately stop the counter-charge, organize a defense on the spot, and do not attack without an order!" Zhang Jiang led more than 1,500 soldiers of the Fourth Regiment and the remnants of the First Regiment to fight a bloody battle with white knives and red knives!

They finally annihilated all the Japanese devils who rushed into the last line of fortifications, and firmly suppressed the Japanese reinforcements in the line of fortifications 50 meters away! Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jiang shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Brothers, you are all good!" Now the defense here is handed over to our 4th Regiment, you have been fighting for five days in a row, and the brigade commander orders you to withdraw first and rest! Fast! ”

Ma Gaocang, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment with a strap, cried and shouted: "Commander Zhang, let us stay, our regiment commander, the first battalion commander, and the third battalion commander have all died heroically, let the brothers stay and avenge them!" "Woo woo, we don't leave, we want to avenge the group and our brothers!" "Revenge! Avenge! "Kill the devil! Avenge! "We can still breathe, we can still fight!"

Almost everyone was wounded, and the remnants of the first regiment had red eyes and tears in their eyes, and they roared in a hissing voice. At this point in the battle, everyone has been immune to the fear of death, and there is only one thought of revenge in their hearts! "That's it! It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! This is a military order, not a request, a group of everyone obeys the order to retreat immediately! Move fast! ”

Zhang Jiang gritted his teeth and reddened his eyes, why didn't he be so angry that he couldn't contain it, and he couldn't wait to rush over now and kill the little devil who was close at hand?

"Brothers of the first regiment, please rest assured, these little devils will be handed over to our four regiments, and we will definitely let them die without a place to bury!" "Brothers, go back and have a good rest!" "Go back quickly, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!" "Woo woo, a group of brothers obey the order, follow me!" "All of the Fourth Regiment is there! Salute! ”

In the end, more than 400 remnants of the soldiers supported each other and got out of the line of fire, step by step towards the county seat of Jiaoxian County, which was being ravaged by the flames!

The 4th Regiment stopped the counter-charge and relied on the fortifications for a fire blockade, but the Japanese devils were not reconciled, and organized several small-scale assaults one after another, but they were all beaten into a sieve without exception! After killing more than 100 people one after another, the little devil finally became honest again, and only dared to shrink in the fortifications and put a cold gun, and did not dare to cross the thunder pool for half a step! "Yaga! Order the troops to suspend the offensive and repair the fortifications on the spot! ”

Seeing that nothing could be done, the commander of the Devil Brigade, Miura Toshi, could only accept it when he saw it, and ordered the troops to repair and deploy the occupied fortification lines and pillbox groups. "Yaga! Is that all there is to it? A bunch of useless idiots! ”

The commander of the Second Army, Nishio Shouzo, quickly got the news and shouted with great dissatisfaction: "This morning in Jiaoxian alone, we lost 31 bombers, 36 artillery pieces, 12 combat vehicles, and more than 2,500 imperial warriors!"

However, they have only breached a few trenches, and not even the last one, how can I give an account to His Majesty the Emperor and the 70 million people of the Empire? ”

Suzuki shook his head sadly and sighed: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is obvious that the opponent is stronger than we imagined, this is a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw, and our losses are too great!" Today, we have annihilated at least 2,000 Chinese troops, and such a result is not easy! "Yaga! I don't want to listen to this nonsense, such results are far from enough! We must capture Jiaoxian as soon as possible, otherwise we can only commit suicide and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Nishio Shouzao was so angry that his teeth itched, and he never dreamed that he had spent so much effort today, consumed a lot of shells, and paid a lot of money, but he could only stop at the last line of defense outside Jiaoxian County! As Nishio Toshizo predicted, such a result was far from satisfying the Japanese Emperor Hirohito and a group of high-ranking officials in the base camp, but they also knew that the front-line troops did their best! And in the face of this kind of fortress-like defensive position, blindly attacking will only cause greater casualties, which is very not cost-effective!

In the end, after some discussion, these old devils decided to let the 107th Division and the 10th Division suspend the rhythm, and the 20th Division accelerated south into Shandong to participate in the battle, and will also recruit the troops of two divisions from China to Shandong to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou! After the 20th Division and the two domestic divisions entered Shandong, they would take the encirclement point to send reinforcements to capture Xuzhou first, and finally eat Yang Fan's department one bite at a time! "Master, let's join the brigade in battle! We can't watch the blood and sacrifice of our fraternal troops, while we listen to the sound of artillery in the rear? ”

Yun Qichang originally wanted to study and improve, but today's tragic war in Jiaoxian made them feel the same way, and it was difficult to continue to train in the barracks with peace of mind! Jiang Qiang walked over, patted Yun Qichang lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Brigade Commander Yun, I can understand your feelings, but you can't rely on courage and bloodiness alone to fight!" Sharpen the knife and don't chop wood, only by first strengthening yourself can you be invincible, your task now is to train with peace of mind!

Don't worry, although the little devils are rampant, it is not so easy to eat us, unless they are willing to throw away 200,000 lives, don't want to eat us! "After five days of hard fighting, Jiang Qiang can be regarded as completely confident, and the Jiaodong Military Region of the Asian People's Liberation Army, which is armed to the teeth and well-trained, even if it is a frontal field battle, its combat effectiveness will definitely surpass that of the Japanese army!

And now in a state of complete defense, it can provide at least 2 times the combat power bonus, which means that the more than 70,000 regular troops in his hands can fight for positional defense with all their might, and at least 150,000 Japanese troops can be defeated! If it comes to the last moment, Jiang Qiang can also recruit a large number of militiamen, reserves, and even young people in the area under his jurisdiction to enlist in the army, relying on the dense reinforced concrete buildings in Jiaodong County, Jiao County, Zhucheng County, and Anqiu County to fight street battles house by house!

Although such a jade burning style is tragic, it can effectively block the pace of the Japanese attack and cause a large number of casualties without a big bomb attack! Jiang Qiang can pat his chest and guarantee that even if the first-line regular troops are exhausted, the use of second-line reserves and young men can make the Japanese army pay an unbearable price of casualties! Of course, this is the worst plan, under normal circumstances, unless the Japanese devils go crazy, they will not use the strength of 10 divisions to fight out the Huaxia Independent Division under the jurisdiction of Jiang Qiang! "Chief of Staff! We listen to you! ”

Yun Qichang bit his lip, his heart was both full of emotion and extreme shock! What is touching is that under the current situation of tight fronts under the pressure of large soldiers, Jiang Qiang still takes care of their 243rd Brigade for training in the rear, instead of using them as cannon fodder on the front line! Shocked, Jiang Qiang calmly revealed the hole cards!

200,000 devils are equivalent to 8 divisions and regiments, which can completely harden and crush the ordinary Chinese army of four or five hundred thousand! Where is this still the combat effectiveness of a division, is it obviously a war zone? During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the largest combat unit under the Nationalist Government Headquarters was the theater, and each theater had several group armies, corps, and armies or divisions directly under the theater, with a total strength of 7.8 million troops! For example, the current Fifth Theater has gathered 670,000 Chinese troops, and the Japanese army that attacked the Fifth Theater in the original history has only 8 divisions!

Finally, after several months of fierce fighting, the Japanese army captured Xuzhou and opened up the Jinpu South Line! And the Jiangqiang Jiaodong Military Region can now rely on its own strength to consume the devils of 8 divisions and regiments, which has to be said to be an extremely terrifying thing! "Yes, that's right!" Jiang Qiang smiled, and then turned into a homely and said, "Brothers, are you still used to it these days?" Are there any difficulties in life? ”

Yun Qichang hurriedly replied: "Master, everything is very good!" To tell the truth, such a good life is simply better than that of the landlord and the old wealth! The brothers are very satisfied and grateful, and I am even worried that after being comfortable for a long time, the brothers will lose their fighting spirit! Division, such a favorable treatment for our army, I'm afraid that even the elite troops of the chairman's descendants have not enjoyed it, right? ”

Clean, comfortable, warm and multi-functional modern barracks, every day the canteen is full of big fish and meat, a water of new advanced weapons and equipment, enough bullets during training and shooting, you can play ball, watch movies, go shopping, and have night school training at night to improve...... Zhaoyuan County is simply a dizzying world of flowers, Yun Qichang not only can't find any bad points, but is quite worried that this kind of luxurious life will lose its combat effectiveness after a long time! "You can rest assured that those who have constant production have perseverance!"

Jiang Qiang smiled and did not explain in depth, as a person who has come over, he naturally knows how to grasp both spiritual civilization and material civilization, and the truth that both hands should be hard! While providing preferential treatment to the army, Jiang Qiang has never relaxed his ideological education work and incentive system, and no one can enjoy and sleep on the merits with peace of mind! "Chief of Staff! The student teaching corps strongly demanded to go to war! Their representatives asked to see you at the gate of the division headquarters! ”

An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops! Since the July 7 Incident, Jiang Qiang led his troops to achieve an unprecedented victory in Fengtai, not only becoming famous, but also bringing back hundreds of enthusiastic young students. These young students have taken root in Zhaoyuan and Qixia, and have been promoted to important roles such as officers, staff officers, intelligence officers, technical backbones, and teachers!

In addition, they also kept calling friends and writing letters to their classmates, relatives and friends, attracting a large number of enthusiastic young people to come to the Jiaodong Peninsula! In addition, Jiang Qiang's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many enthusiastic young students who come from hundreds of miles and thousands of miles to admire him, and it is no exaggeration to say that almost every day, hot-blooded young people arrive in the Asian People's Liberation Army garrison and ask to join the army to resist Japan.

For these enthusiastic and knowledgeable young students, Jiang Qiang naturally did not refuse to come, first carefully screened and screened, and then carried out a series of training, and finally put them into suitable positions according to their respective talents. "Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand your feelings! However, the great cause of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will be a long-term and arduous historical mission, it is not only to go to the battlefield to kill little devils, but also to do a good job in education, medical care, logistics, intelligence, staff officers, news, production and other jobs in the rear of the War of Resistance against Japan, it is also to contribute to the national resistance against Japan! Jiang Qiang quickly came to the gate of the division headquarters with a few officers, and without any extra scenes, he directly opened his throat and shouted: "

We open our doors to recruit talents from all walks of life, not only to form an anti-Japanese team, but also to cultivate the hope and backbone of the future of the nation! Therefore, your most important historical mission is not to go into battle to kill devils, but to continue to study further, learn skills, and use your own wisdom and talents to build our country well! The reason why the United States is so prosperous and developed is because they have a large number of economists, scientists, engineers, and technical experts,...... "Students, you all understand the good intentions of our teachers, right? If we have Chief of Staff Jiang and the officers and men of the Asian People's Liberation Army on the Jiaodong Peninsula, we will never fall! ”

Qin Guiying hurriedly stood up and spoke loudly, at this time she had been promoted from an ordinary student of Peking University to the deputy head of the student teaching group! "Yes, students, we must be calm, it is worthy of admiration to throw our heads and spill blood, but the country's economic construction is also very important, if there is no money, no guns, no artillery, how can we defeat the well-armed Japanese devils?" Zhou Haiyan shouted loudly, since he killed his relatives in Fengtai and revealed that his father collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, he was determined to join Rong, and now he is an outstanding political cadre!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will establish Jiaodong Comprehensive University in a while, and everyone will be useful at that time! You go back first, study and progress with peace of mind, and the construction of the country in the future will depend on you! "Jiang Qiang once again waved his sonorous and powerful hand, these are rare talents and seedlings, they have already been planned, where are they willing to be sent to the battlefield!" Well, we'll all listen to the Chief of Staff! "Please rest assured that the Chief of Staff will definitely study hard!" Don't dare to live up to your high expectations! ”

Jiang Qiang's words calmed down those young students who were high-pitched and excited, no one is stupid, everyone knows that going to the battlefield is nine deaths! For them, it is not that they have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and die for their country, but they want to do their best for the great cause of the War of Resistance and the survival of the nation, even if it is their own lives!

Now the learning conditions and a large number of advanced books provided by the Jiaodong Peninsula are completely equivalent to a piece of delicious bread for these young students who are thirsty for knowledge. However, the chairman of the committee had long made up his mind to gradually digest the Third Army after it was dispersed, so how could Han Fuyu's loyal old army continue to take up important posts?

Li Shuchun nodded and said: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, except for a few of us old people who have been running for Governor Han and calling for help, everyone else has long been pregnant with ghosts!" Now the Third Army is already stormy! "Yes! The dragons have no leader, and we are all lambs to the slaughter! "Alas, it's hard to be a man these days, and it's even harder to live!" Major General Shi Tongran, deputy commander of the 22nd Division, Major General Tao Qinghai, chief of staff, and others also nodded silently, if there is no territory and army, what is the difference between them and ordinary people?

Gao Yizhen sighed: "Hey, I persuaded Xiang Fang many times to let him not blindly retreat, but he didn't listen at all, I knew why bother now!" That's it, that's it, time is also fate! Gu Liangmin comforted: "Actually, we don't have to be too pessimistic, the chairman has not made a death move so far, most of them are worried that our Third Army will mutiny!"

We now take the 22nd Division to defect to Jiang Qiang, so that our strength can be multiplied, maybe the chairman will be even more afraid because of this, and the commander-in-chief may still be able to get a glimmer of life! "So far, Gu Liangmin can only say comforting words with a clear conscience, not only for Gao Yizhen, but also for himself!" I hope so! ”

Gao Yizhen nodded lightly, and knew that it was the best choice to protect a force to defect to Jiang Qiang, if there was no army to protect them, I don't know how miserable the fate of these wives and children would be! Gu Liangmin immediately slapped the board and said, "Without further ado, let's leave immediately!" ”

Shi Tongran asked angrily: "What about the monitoring team sent by Cao Fulin?" The commander-in-chief's life and death are uncertain, and these sons of have turned their guns on us! "It's all my own brothers, just let them live, just tie them up and lock them up!" Order the troops to immediately march into the territory of Teng County! Gu Liangmin sighed softly, and immediately ordered the troops to immediately move out, preparing to enter Teng County from Nansi Lake in the east of Yutai County, and then pass through Fei County, Mengyin County, Yishui County, Anqiu County, and finally enter the Jiaodong Peninsula!

At this time, although Ju County had been occupied by the Japanese army, Jiang Qiang promised that as long as the 22nd Division entered Yishui County, he would lead his troops to meet it! Nansi Lake is the general name of four connected lakes, including Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Dushan Lake and Nanyang Lake, but because the area of Weishan Lake is larger than the other three lakes, it is customary to refer to Weishan Lake and is located in the southern part of Shandong Province. With an area of 1,266 square kilometers, the lake is the largest lake in North China and one of the largest freshwater lakes in China.

There is no dam project on Nansi Lake, Nansi Lake has a very obvious difference from a few decades later, it is still a small river at the junction of Shaoyang Lake and Nanyang Lake in Yutai County, and Dushan Lake is only a completely independent lake, and there are no other three lakes connected together! Gu Liangmin had already let people build a pontoon bridge over that small river in advance, so the 22nd Division could completely pass through this gap and go all the way north to the Jiaodong Peninsula!

"What, Gu Liangmin took the 22nd Division away? This son of a bitch! Come on, immediately send electricity to Wuhan, and the pistol brigade immediately gather with me to chase after me! "Although Gu Liangmin, Li Shuchun and others are old and spicy, there is no impermeable wall in the world, as soon as they left on their front feet, the news spread widely, and Cao Fulin exploded as soon as he heard the news! Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the establishment of Han Fuyu's department was five divisions and one brigade, whether it was Cao Fulin, Gu Liangmin, or Li Hanzhang, they were only the division commanders of each town! Since there is no army establishment, everyone has nothing to fight about.

However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing expanded the Third Route Army into the Third Group Army, and Han Fuyu became the commander-in-chief of the Third Group Army, with three armies under its jurisdiction. However, although the ROK has three corps, it still only has five divisions and one brigade. As a result, it is inevitable that the number of troops under the command of the three armies will be different.

Among them, Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army has the 20th Division and the 21st Division; Gu Liangmin's 56th Army had the 22nd Division and the 74th Division; Only Cao Fulin's 55th Army had only one 29th division and a pistol brigade. In this chaotic era when power came out of the barrel of a gun, Cao Fulin was naturally dissatisfied with the strength of the 55th Army. In particular, the 29th Division of Li Hanzhang was expanded into the 74th Division, but it was included in the command of the 56th Army, which made Cao Fulin extremely dissatisfied!

However, due to Han Fuyu's suppression, no one dared to have any objections to the issue of army establishment. Now that Han Fuyu has become a prisoner of the ranks, Cao Fulin has taken the path of the chairman again, naturally he wants to recapture what belongs to him and expand his own troop allocation, and he has won over the 74th Division as early as a month ago! In addition, the 22nd Division is also coveted by Cao Fulin, although the possibility of eating two divisions in one go is very low, but this piece of fat can't fly away under his nose! After receiving the news, Cao Fulin immediately sent a telegram to the Wuhan side, and then gathered troops to march quickly to chase Gu Liangmin!

It's just that one step ahead of the backgammon, Gu Liangmin and Li Shuchun and others are all experienced bosses, how could they fall into such a big flaw, and after two hours of rapid marching, they disappeared into the thick night! Not to mention that he can't catch up, even if he catches up, Cao Fulin has no way to keep the 22nd Division at this time. "What? Gu Liangmin actually pulled the 22nd Division away overnight? How can this be reasonable, is this Cao Fulin a pig? I had already telegraphed him to take strict precautions, but I didn't expect a whole division to run under my nose! ”

After receiving the telegram, the chairman of the committee trembled with anger, and a piece of big fat flew away one after another, and in just a few days, there were 20,000 less elite troops! After a pause, the chairman said to Qian Dajun with a gloomy face: "We can't continue to tolerate and nurture traitors, we must make an example of each other!" Immediately put Han Fuyu on trial and announce his crimes to the world as an example! ”
