The Japanese army in Hengdian was just a dissatisfied squadron and some logistics soldiers. The total number of battles was only more than 100 people, and they did not build solid fortifications. Taking down this small town was not a big deal for the Independent 100 Brigade. No matter the entire brigade was involved, it could be taken down by that regiment. However, for the sake of security, Cheng Jiaji still used the entire brigade. The two regiments put on the stance of the goshawks and bolted together to strive to take down Hengdian as soon as possible and cut off the connection between Lanling Town and Nanqiao Town.

At 4:00 p.m. on April 8, after a brief and fierce battle, the brigade headquarters of the Independent 100 Brigade entered Hengdian.

At this time, Nanqiao Town, which had a similar number of Japanese troops to Hengdian, was also captured by the 174th Brigade at a relatively small price.

Compared with the first two lucky ones, the 80th Division was too lucky. Not only did the 80th Division fail to attack Lanling Town twice, but it was also suddenly bombarded by a group of Japanese aircraft returning from where they didn't know where they were. They lost six or seven hundred people in the air-time attack alone. What's even more unlucky is that the Japanese in Lanling Town reacted very slowly and took the opportunity to counterattack again. The 80th Division, which suffered heavy losses, was defeated in a defeat.

This is not the worst news.

"What, the main force of the Seya Detachment fled to Satoshi under the cover of Japanese aircraft, and now it has passed Yinping." The news from the headquarters of the attacking detachment put the brigade of the 100th Independent Brigade into unprecedented low pressure.

"If the independent brigade of the Sixty Army in Yi County was fast, maybe it could have intercepted the main force of the Segu branch in Shagou Town." Gao Shiying was not sure when he said this.

"It's useless. That brigade is used to protect the retreat of the Sixty Army. It won't attack easily. Even if it attacks, it's not urgent." Yu Juncai said in frustration.

In fact, Yu Juncai didn't say anything. Even if the brigade of the Sixty Army wanted to attack, the Shangfeng would probably not give this order. I knew that if something happened in Yi County, the two divisions of the Sixty Army and the Twentieth Army were in a desperate situation.

"Damn it, what kind of bird battle is this? I have been fighting for half a month, but the Japanese still let the Japanese slip out of their palms!" Wen Songyuan cursed randomly.

"Okay. Xu Shenzun has any new instructions." After stopping Wen Songyuan from saying unrespectful words to Shangfeng, Cheng Jiaji hurriedly changed the topic.

Cheng Jiaji fought for a long time and found such a result, which was also in a bad mood. He saw farther than Wen Songyuan. After all, this result was caused by the selfish intention of the highest-ranking officer of the Military Commission. If he was not in a hurry to rescue the Twentieth Army. According to the original combat plan of the war zone, the Sixty Army was allowed to attack from Taierzhuang with all his strength. The Japanese Segu Detachment said that he could not escape no matter what. In Cheng Jiaji's view, although the Twentieth Army suffered heavy casualties, it was far from the point where someone could not hold on and had to rescue him.

But it’s too late to say this now, so let’s take a step by step!

"Xu Shenzu asked us to join the entire army of Chang Jing's brigade and take down Lanling first." Gao Shiying replied in a low voice.

"Then let's execute it!" Cheng Jiaji felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart. He seemed so powerless in the face of the torrent of history. It seemed that the Seya Detachment still had to escape like in the history of his time and space.

At dusk, the attacking detachment concentrated all its forces and launched an attack on Lanling Town again. Most of the Japanese troops in the town had already retreated to chase the main Japanese forces. Although the small group of Japanese troops who were responsible for blocking were fighting to the death, they were basically wiped out in less than an hour and a half.

But no one would be happy with this kind of victory. After taking down Lanling Town, more than 10,000 troops from the attacking detachment were ordered to lean onto Yicheng.

The new order from the War Zone Chief Office also came out, saying that he was determined to eat Sakamoto's detachment.

At 9 pm on the same day, the main force of the 16th Army, who had just arrived in Xuzhou, was also ordered to attack Sato City.

The 100 Independence Brigade finally arrived in Yi County at about 10 o'clock in the evening.

Although all Chinese troops carried out heroic pursuit of the Japanese army and had some small gains, most of the Japanese Seya detachment had more than 3,000 people slipped away from Satoshi.

However, on April 8th, the Chinese army still made great achievements. With the cooperation of the main force of the Sixty Army, the 20th Army severely damaged and repelled the Japanese Hatan Detachment, and also compressed the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment near Shimomura.

In the early morning of the 9th day of the war, the remaining troops of the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment were surrounded by nearly 100,000 Chinese troops from all directions, tightly surrounded by the small village of Shimomura.

As the war reaches this point, even if the Japanese transfer all the air force of the entire empire, it will not change the fate of this detachment.

In this battle, the mission of the attack detachment where the First Independent Brigade was located was to monitor the operations of the 10th Japanese Division in Zaozhuang to ensure the safety of the flanks of the main force of the Chinese army that was annihilated the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment.

Under the strong pressure of several Chinese troops, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, after joining with the remnants of the Japanese Seya Detachment, did not risk his life to attack Shimomura, but fled northward.

The attacking detachment and the 16th Army were pursuing the attacking forces separately. After destroying more than a thousand Japanese troops in Yangzhuang Town, the two troops were ordered to return to Zaozhuang. Xiacun had almost fought, so they could not help.

In Zaozhuang, Cheng Jiaji met his long-lost brother-in-law.

As soon as they met, Xia Weimin said nothing, but just kept looking at this brother-in-law whom he always spoiled but didn't look at him.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? I'm so frightened to see through this." In the end, Cheng Jiaji couldn't stand it anymore.

"You are very capable. You have become a general in less than a month after you went to the battlefield. You can't tell that your Cheng family can still produce you as a general." Cheng Jiaji could hear this sentence, which is definitely not a compliment.

"You are so smart when you make a fuss in Xuzhou! You know how to build momentum!" Xia Weimin saw Cheng Jiaji lowering his head but just not talking, and knew that he was not convinced, and his tone became heavier and heavier.

"Do you know that you will be a gunman? But it's all because of this. Otherwise, you can beat the big men of the Ministry of Military Affairs with your little thoughts." Cheng Jiaji agreed with these words. If the war zone commander and commander secretly helped him when he was causing trouble in Xuzhou, it would be obvious what the situation would be. The Ministry of Military Affairs would have been accused of being a ruthless person. Although the matter was successful, Cheng Jiaji was also very scared.

"How many people are there in your independent 100 brigade now?" After a while, Xia Weimin asked. Perhaps it was because he had seen that Cheng Jiaji had already expressed his intention of self-reflection, Xia Weimin's tone became a little gentler.

"In addition, there are still 2,560 minor wounded people in the team." In the few battles after Lu Zuo, the Independent One Hundred Brigade did not fight any tough battles, so naturally they could not lose many people.

"You can fight like Luzuo's Land Mountain."

This sentence really scared Cheng Jiaji. On the surface, there were more than 2,000 people in the Independent One Hundred Brigade, but in fact, the elite soldiers and generals were almost killed or killed. Fighting like Tudishan was probably not a single battle. This has been confirmed in the last few battles. Cheng Jiaji had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Independent One Hundred Brigade had dropped to a very dangerous level.

"The casualties are quite serious, but the war zone has always supplemented our department, and the wounded soldiers who were hospitalized in a month should be discharged." Cheng Jiaji was still defending himself.

"That's because you have a good life, that's in a critical position. You can't collapse, and you will be shaken all the way. Think about it yourself, have you been replenished by one person and one shot since the establishment of that attacking detachment? In a battle like Tudishan, as long as you, the independent 100 brigade, will collapse again." Xia Weimin's words completely knocked down Cheng Jiaji, causing the latter to fall into silence.

"The Commander of the War Zone is quite considerate of you, but this commander also has his difficulties. The Military Commission has always supplemented the Fifth War Zone with the least amount of supplements among all war zones. He can't give it preferential treatment every time. Take a look at this thing." Xia Weimin gave his brother-in-law, who didn't know how to be tall and thick, a copy of the manuscript.

"It is planned to be incorporated into the 100th Independent Brigade of the Army's 52nd Army. Former brigade commander Cheng Jiaji has brave command and is specially promoted to the chief of staff of the 52nd Army."

Looking at the copy of the order drafted by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Justice, which had not been explicitly issued two days ago, Cheng Jiaji's hair stood up. The Ministry of Justice's intention was to avenge the last time, to take the 100 independent brigade into the organization of the Fifty-two Army, and to put himself in the name of promotion. Xia Weimin is also very powerful and can actually get such a secret.

"Don't be nervous. I talked to Degong when I was in Xuzhou. Your brigade will be temporarily under direct control of the war zone. The 16th Army will soon be transferred to the command of the war zone. The situation there is not good. You should stay in the fifth war zone. For some reason, Degong still likes you, a young man. If there is any mistake in the main force of the army, it is also easy to leave some capital for the future. The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Deguild will solve it."

In just one minute, Cheng Jiaji was in a roller coaster ride, but what made him happy was still there.

"Our army was transferred to the First War Zone to leave you a regular army for the reinforcement battalion. A distant cousin also brought dozens of overseas Chinese children from Nanyang to serve the country. They are top students at the American West Point Military Academy. You should learn more about military skills, and don't know the three words "not afraid of death all day long. You also have five or six hundred fugitive students who were taken care of along the way. You are also in charge of the school brigade, which is composed of female students, so no more troubles are allowed. I asked them to wait in Xuzhou. "Xia Weimin explained one by one.

At first, Cheng Jiaji was listening with a grateful heart, but the more he listened, the less he felt. This was simply treating his own independent 100-tour as a nursery and a left-behind place.

"By the way, your distant cousin is Liu Yicheng. The three of Shaojun and the others have arrived in Xuzhou. The little Japanese should calm down for a while and get together."
