"The 59th Army Commander Zhang, the 59th Army, unified command of the 59th Army, the 21st, 22nd, 139th Division, the 100th Independent Brigade and other units, are responsible for covering other troops in the war zone to break through from Xuzhou, and after completing the tasks, the departments behind the hall gathered in Xuchang."

In the list of troops behind the palace announced by Xu Shenzuo, Cheng Jiaji heard the number of his troops as expected.

After learning that the Military Commission had approved the combat plan of breaking out from Xuzhou in five routes and moving to the outside line, Cheng Jiaji secretly thanked in his heart that the officials of the Military Commission finally regained their rationality at the last moment and gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​fighting the Japanese mechanized corps in Xuzhou, a place with a flat four battles. On the other hand, Cheng Jiaji was assigned to his Independent 100 Brigades in the rear of the palace with the highest danger coefficient, and he had long been mentally prepared. The reason is that the current Independent 100 Brigades is really too eye-catching.

Three months after the war, most of the troops with combat experience in the entire war zone were in ruins, and the newly transferred troops were not familiar with the terrain and enemy, so they could not bear the heavy responsibility of being the rear of the entire war zone. Although Cheng Jiaji's independent 100 brigade had been hard-working with the Japanese army, they were repeatedly repaired. Now, in the division and brigade-level troops in the entire war zone, they were indeed among the top in terms of combat experience, record and the enrichment of the troops. For this point, this is the important responsibility of the rear of the army. It would be strange if the honorable part of the independent 100 brigade was not.

"Brother Xunchen. This is Cheng Jiaji, the commander of the Independent One Hundred Territory. Just call him Brother Haoran!"

"Haoran, this is Zhang Xunchen, the commander of the 59th Army and deputy deputy to the Military and Political Department. Just call Brother Xunchen and you will be done."

As soon as the military meeting was finished, Xu Shenzuo introduced the two people who were specially left by the commander-in-chief of the theater commander. As soon as the introduction was finished, Xu Shenzuo was called away by a major general, Gao Shen. Before leaving, Xu Shenzuo asked the two troops who were about to work together to chat about it. He would come later.

"Both Commander Cheng, how many people are there in your independent 100 brigade? How well are the equipment and whether the ammunition is sufficient?" Zhang Xunchen, the commander-in-chief of the palace troops, asked Cheng Jiaji straight to the point.

If others say that Cheng Jiaji is a question, he must have ambushed some things, but this Chief Zhang, who deserves the four-word comment of "Qianqiu Loyalty and Martyrdom", is his idol. He died heroically in front of the highest general who died in the War of Resistance against Japan two years later. Cheng Jiaji was half-hearted and could not get rid of it. Who told him to face this national hero with a pilgrimage now!

"Our unit has three infantry regiments, eight infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, one cavalry battalion, one engineering battalion, and one baggage battalion. The whole brigade has more than 5,300 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 100 light and heavy pursuit guns. There are three German-made 75 field cannons, two Japanese-made 75 mountain stances, one Japanese-made 75 field cannons, four Japanese-made 70 infantry cannons, four German-made 37 war defense cannons, twenty-eight thousand grenades, and a total of 1.3 million rounds of ammunition for various weapons and grounds."

Cheng Jiaji explained all his capital clearly like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Some of these weapons were allocated from the war zone and some were seized from the Japanese, while others were secretly bought from various arsenals in the war zone.

He spoke happily there, and there was a feeling of a child offering treasures to adults. On the other side, Commander Zhang was stunned. This was an independent brigade, which was no less than a full-fledged lower division in terms of military strength. If it was more than heavy weapons, it would be worth more than two gangs like the Second Legion, and the ammunition was sufficient.

"Both Commander Cheng, since your troops are strong, please serve as the second-line enemy unit before withdrawing from Xuzhou, before taking up the 59th Arms marching sequence." Commander Zhang said to Cheng Jiaji.

This statement moved Cheng Jiaji very much. If someone had been the commander of the 59th Army and the broken troops who had been carrying heavy burdens for the 59th Army, he knew that the 100 Independent Brigade, the troops under his command were so well-equipped and well-organized, and he would have to put this good steel on the edge. This is not an exclusion, but just a matter of fact. In fact, among the various troops behind the palace, if the troops were well-equipped and fully equipped, the 100 Independent Brigade was the first to be the first.

It would be natural for Commander Zhang to arrange for the 100 independent brigades to be cut off with the 59th Army. Even Cheng Jiaji himself was convinced and could not say anything wrong. Thanks to historical records, he knew the current situation of the 59th Army clearly.

After two battles of defense of Linyi, the original five brigades of the 59th Army had already lost more than half of their troops, and the actual strength was less than two brigades. At this time, the army commander's strength was not more than that of the brigade commander Cheng Jiaji.

Under such circumstances, after understanding the strength of the 100 Independent Brigade, this iron-strong general only wanted to be independent of the 100 Brigade as the second-line unit of the Palace Front Army. He took the most difficult task by himself, how noble it was. Cheng Jiaji had long admired this representative of the anti-Japanese general, and at this time, Zhang Zizhong's image in his heart was as majestic as famous mountains and rivers.

"Brother Xunchen, your troops have been fighting for three consecutive months, and they have never had the opportunity to replenish them. After the two Linyi defense battles, your ammunition will not be too much. My intention is to use our regulator to distribute a batch of ammunition and light and heavy weapons to supplement your department. In addition, can our department draw a regiment and be directly commanded by the 59th Army Headquarters? This is really out of sincerity. I hope Brother Xunchen will not postpone it." Cheng Jiaji was sincere when he said these words. He rarely had such selfless times.

"Since Brother Haoran is so sincere, don't refuse, Xu Chen." I don't know when Xu Shenzuo was already standing outside the door of the conference room.

"Since Commander Cheng has this relationship, I am ashamed to receive some of your ammunition from your troops. As for the support of the Guiyang Municipal Department, there is no need. After the 59th Army fights, I hope Brother Haoran can take on the burden of the rear of the palace for hundreds of thousands of troops. If this battle is not dead, Zhang Xunchen will definitely make you a friend. The two of you will say goodbye." As soon as he finished speaking, General Zhang walked out of the conference room quickly with the standard of a soldier.

Seeing that Commander Zhang had gone to care for himself like this, Cheng Jiaji was still in a daze, afraid that the two would be separated because of trivial matters. Senator Xu said to Cheng Jiaji, "Haoran, Zhang Xunchen is such a ignorant person, but he is a bloody man. Don't be quarrel."

He knew that Cheng Jiaji's suicide note was ringing in his ears like a loud bell and a big bell.

"Following the recent situation, the enemy may come and strike another nail. As long as the enemy attacks, my brother will go to Hedong to sacrifice with my brother. The country has reached such a point, and there is no other way to believe it except for us to die for it. As long as we can make up for this determination, our country and my nation with a history of 5,000 years will never be destroyed by the hands of the Japanese slaves on the three islands. The determination to die for the country and nation is not clear, and the stones will not be rotten, and we will make any changes. I hope to encourage you with my brothers."

Cheng Jiaji only had eight words in his mind at this time, "How great is this word. How great is this person."

In 1938, 11:00 p.m. on May 18, west of Xuzhou, within Tongshan.

"There are Japanese troops in front of the brigade." A captain and staff officer from the vanguard's 199th Regiment came to report to Cheng Jiaji.

Cheng Jiaji wiped his head and asked, "How many people are there?"

The staff officer replied: "I heard from the troops in front that there is a brigade in the village, and there is at least one brigade of Japanese devils in the field outside the village."

"It's all said by others. You're going to your mind. Isn't the first team of the Special Operations Team worthy of you? Let Tian Jiafu figure out the situation, and we can't help but say it." Cheng Jiaji was a little impatient. Xing Yu was pretty good, but this cautious problem was not bad. He stopped all the way. Even if he bumped into three or two Japanese soldiers, he could stop the team and observe people for a long time, for fear of being caught up with the Japanese. The Japanese behind him were about to catch up. If the independent 100 Brigades were still slow, the 59th Army behind the palace would be so easy to get out.

After sending away the captain and staff sent by the 199th Regiment to report the message, Cheng Jiaji asked Qian Shan: "How many troops do you think of the Japanese in front?"

"The brigade seat, at most, the Japanese army in front is only the size of a one-man regiment. The troops behind our army have seven or eight divisions, and at least 30,000 to 40,000 people. It is unlikely that the Japanese army would block our army with the power of a brigade. The current crisis is not how many Japanese troops are blocking the road, but why all the troops in front stop to wait and see, have they ever thought about it in the brigade seat?" Qian Shen asked with a different point of view.

This question is actually not difficult to answer, and Cheng Jiaji immediately thought of the reason behind it.

It was nothing more than the various troops that pushed each other forward, and no one was willing to go first, and they were reluctant to let others go to the palace behind. Their troops could easily pass this level. Cheng Jiaji couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he thought about it. The military situation was so urgent that these division commanders and brigade commanders were still beating their Xiaojiu.

"Map." Cheng Jiaji shouted loudly.

Several brigade staff officers hurriedly took out the military map from their backpacks and spread it on the ground to open the hall.

Cheng Jiaji squatted down and looked for a while, then made up his mind. After standing up, he immediately said, "This place is too close to the railway line. We can't afford time at this time and we must pass quickly. It will be troublesome to be targeted by the Japanese plane at dawn. The troops in front of our brigade are Liu Tianlong's Independent 112 Brigade. This guy owes me several favors. It's time to hear him pay it back at this time. Send someone to notify Liu Tianlong and ask him to help me to pull his troops in front of the Zhuangzi immediately. I asked the second battalion of the supplementary regiment to temporarily be under his command. The work he wants to do is to watch the Japanese in the Zhuangzi tightly.

.When our troops drove away the Japanese in the wild, I sent troops to replace him. Let the 199th Regiment and the 200th Regiment divide into left and right lines to fight me hard. We must drive away this group of Japanese. Send someone to ask the bastards in front of me to dodge me and don’t get in my business. When we sealed the Japanese in the farm and drove away the Japanese in the wild, we will ask them to quickly complete the team and pass quickly in an orderly manner. In addition, let the artillery battalion disrupt the Japanese before starting. After starting, they will ask them to provide firepower support to the 200th Regiment of the 199th Regiment." After fighting a few battles, Cheng Jiaji is very good at temper!

Qian Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at his fierce and energetic boss who was five or six years younger than him.

The real purpose of his words just now was to make the 100 Independent Brigade stop. After the 59th Army came up, the 59th Army would control and drive away the two Japanese troops, so that the 100 Independent Brigade would not lose any loss of soldiers and soldiers. Judging from the person of Commander Zhang, Qian Shen was sure that he would take the initiative to carry this burden.

But as soon as his young boss came up, he actually carried the burden on his shoulders. He wanted to persuade him a few words. But looking at Cheng Jiaji's fierce spirit, he was afraid he couldn't persuade him. Since the commander of the army made up his mind, as the actual chief of staff, he had to obey.

"Boss Cheng. Just that little bit of the Japanese. You don't have to bully them two regiments. We will cover all 200 regiments, so let Lao Xing and the others watch the scene."

When Wen Songyuan, who hadn't seen blood for many days, was more active than Cheng Jiaji. Hearing the sound of the wind, Wen Songyuan immediately ran over from the back of the team. He had always had the hobby of eating alone.

"I don't know how many Japanese in the field. If there are too many Japanese, you can't stand it. Your regiment will be able to bear it. Your regiment will be able to pass from the left. The 199th regiment surrounded from the right. Remember, this land is not the time to fight the Japanese annihilation war. You should leave a side for the Japanese to escape. This battle will drive the Japanese away. After this errand, your regiment will keep a watch on the Japanese in the Zhuangzi. Go quickly, you can only start within one hour, and you will be bombarded with the Japanese in the field within two hours. I will let the artillery battalion provide you with firepower to cover."

After saying this, Cheng Jiaji raised the whip in his hand and whipped Wen Songyuan for a few seconds. Then he drove away this guy because he hadn't been caught in the war for more than a month and wanted to kill the Japanese.

"Report to the brigade. Judging from the reconnaissance situation, there are no more enemies in the wilderness, and there are more enemies in the village. There should be a command center for a corps in the village."

The person who reported these situations was Tian Jiafu, who is now a dignified lieutenant colonel officer. Tian Jiafu's hands and feet were very quick. Before Cheng Jiaji's order to make him reconnaissance just now reached his ears, he had already brought back the approximate situation of the Japanese troops blocking the way in front of him.

This also depends on him and his men. They were originally from authentic Japanese officers and soldiers. They were very familiar with the Japanese army's combat habits. Most of the time, the Japanese army was rigid and tight in using troops. They basically arranged troops in a straight manner according to the infantry tactical principles issued by the Army. Almost all the soldiers occupied a large area according to the standards stipulated in the training outline. In the eyes of these former Japanese officers and soldiers, the firepower arrangements of the Japanese army in Zhuangzi and the Japanese army in the field were almost transparent, and even the darkness could not stop their sensitive sense of smell, let alone the moonlight tonight was surprisingly bright.

"Well done, Tian Jiafu, first write down the general situation of the Japanese army in the field ahead and send it to the two regiment commanders separately, and then take your men back for rest." Cheng Jiaji is still more concerned about his good dog. After all, it is not easy to use a dog, and changing one may not be more effective than this one.

"Report to the brigade, Brigade Commander Liu from the 112th Brigade has already blocked the village with his troops. Let our second battalion of the supplementary regiment go over quickly."

Tian Jiafu walked for about forty minutes, and the people sent by the voyage department to deliver letters to the Independence One-One-2nd Travel were back.

Cheng Jiaji and Qian Shen exchanged some opinions and said to the staff officer: "You go and pass the orders and let the first battalion of the supplementary regiment cooperate with the actions of the Independent 112 Brigade. In addition, you let someone urge the 200th Regiment and the 199th Regiment to let them start as soon as possible."

Before the staff officer could go far, at the request of the two regiments attacking the Japanese army in the field, the artillery battalion of the Independent 100 Brigade began to shell the field occupied by the Japanese army.

Not long after the shelling began, Cheng Jiaji saw the 200th regiment in his telescope and began to charge towards the field occupied by the Japanese army.

"This kid moves so fast, he really wants to eat alone." Cheng Jiaji cursed at the surging people not far away.

Almost at the same time, the troops of the 199th Regiment also began to attack the Japanese troops in the field from the right.

Looking at his excited commander, Qian Shen was also filled with hearts. However, what he was thinking about was not the battle in front of him. He used four regiments of two brigades to deal with the Japanese army in less than one regiment, and the goal was to monitor and expel, so it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.

He was thinking about Cheng Jiaji.

Qian Shen has been in this army for more than ten days. He feels that most of the officers and soldiers of this army have a sense of arrogance, as if only one hundred independent brigades in the entire war zone can kill the Japanese.

He could understand this. The Independent One Hundred Brigade was indeed a great military achievement on the battlefield of Taierzhuang, and it was reasonable to have a little arrogance.

However, Qian Shen was very difficult to see through what Cheng Jiaji did.

This person sometimes acts like a businessman, sometimes he is a passionate young man who has just left school and obeyed the army, and sometimes he acts like a veteran in the officialdom. From the fact that he can quickly and steadily solve internal hidden dangers, we can know that Cheng Jiaji is not lacking in the talent for conspiracy when necessary.

The most shocking thing about Qian Shen was the travel song that was said to be written by Cheng Jiaji. The contents in the lyrics made Qian Shen deeply agree. Yes! If China could hold a steel knife in her hand and not be trapped in Confucianism, the foreign barbarians would dare to face the majestic China!

Cheng Jiaji, who wrote such a military song with deep intention, may be so naive in many cases.

As a result, Qian Shen felt that he was becoming increasingly unable to see what kind of person Cheng Jiaji was.

'If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Anyway, you join the army to kill the Japanese to avenge your family. Following Cheng Jiaji, you can at least often see the Japanese lying on the land under your feet, which is enough.'

Thinking of this, Qian Shen put away his messy thoughts and began to fulfill his duties as a chief of staff.
