The Japanese commander in the field outside the village seemed to be a veteran, and this person was very cunning.

After being caught fire, the Japanese officer wisely concluded that the Chinese army that was about to attack him would never have less than one division based on the caliber of the shells falling on his head and the density of the artillery fire. He also understood that the Chinese army of a division would never be able to stop this little force in his hands, and he had made up the idea of ​​retreating early.

When the 200th Regiment and the 199th Regiment launched an attack on the Japanese army, the Japanese army was already retreating, and its "opening-the-way" speed was even more than the level of charge by the Chinese army. In a panic, the Japanese army could not even care about the bodies of their companions falling down, and could only cut off a small piece of finger from their companions who died in battle and put them in their pockets and took them away. The seriously injured Japanese soldiers were also dealt with after being shot dead by the Japanese army.

Because the Japanese army saw the opportunity early, the Chinese army was ordered not to surround the Japanese army, but just drove the Japanese out of a few miles. (This order was implemented more resolutely, and the 200th regiment was a little worse. Wen Songyuan still always thought about eating meat. The order did not just say that it could not be surrounded. It would be not a violation of the order. With this idea, the 200th regiment not only launched an attack on this group of Japanese troops earlier, but also had a speed of charge much faster than the 199th regiment. Wen Songyuan thought that he could eat half of the Japanese.)

As a result, the two entire regiments charged forward in a huge stance, and the harvest was pitifully small. The two regiments combined and killed only about seventy Japanese, and only a dozen guns were seized. To be serious, many of these Japanese were killed by artillery battalions during fire cover.

The remaining about 400 Japanese soldiers avoided the attack of two regiments of Chinese troops with their agile tactical actions and quickly ran away towards Xuzhou.

Seeing that the Japanese army easily jumped out of his attack range, Xing Yusheng was fine, but Wen Songyuan was so angry. If Ma Siyuan hadn't held this deputy director Wen tightly, he would have been reluctant to do anything, and would have taken the entire 200 regiments to press forward and chased him for a while before talking about it.

Wen Songyuan, who was forcibly held back, became even more angry and jumped up and cursed her.

"Shut up! Wen Lao Er, you are yelling something. Your regiment will take over the surveillance mission of the Japanese army in Zhuangzi within half an hour. If you dare to throw me away again, then prepare to come to the brigade headquarters to be a full-time deputy brigade commander for two months. Do you believe it or not, I have a way to make you unable to even smell the fire within two months."

As soon as he heard the voice of this person, Wen Songyuan became much more honest. When the visitor told him about the punishment measures, Wen Songyuan was already smiling and looking at the visitor pitifully.

In the Independent One Hundred Tribe, only Cheng Jiaji can control this bold and crazy maniac.

"Okay, don't pretend to be good here. Take your troops and go there quickly. The battlefield here will be cleaned by the 199th Regiment." Seeing Wen Songyuan so shameless, Cheng Jiaji felt both angry and funny.

Wen Songyuan, who was sent away and was a little dissatisfied with desire (not sexual desire, but yu Wang who killed the Japanese). Cheng Jiaji turned his head and shouted at Tian Jiafu, who was commanding his subordinates to pick up the bodies left by the Japanese army that were not as good as possible, and he said loudly: "Has Tian Jiafu found out? This is the part."

"Report to the brigade, the troops to which these corpses belonged have been verified to belong to the 58th Regiment of the 13th Division." Tian Jiafu saw his master come to ask in person, how dare he be negligent, and the answer was very smooth. Of course, a charming smile is indispensable, but this smile made Cheng Jiaji feel a little disgusted.

‘The 13th Division, isn’t it on the edge of the Huai River? Why did you get here?’

Hearing this situation, a question suddenly broke out in Cheng Jiaji's mind.

After confirming again with Tian Fujia, Cheng Jiaji had to accept the reality that the 13th Division's troops had advanced to this area.

As the enemy situation became more serious, Cheng Jiaji immediately adjusted his deployment.

"Captain Xing, you take two battalions to clean the battlefield. At the same time, you must keep a close eye on the Japanese who had just slipped away. As long as they have an intention to move closer to the village, you can block it tightly. In addition, Commander Xing, you can send a battalion to the commander of the brigade headquarters for a while, Deputy Chief of Staff, you will take this battalion and the cavalry battalion to welcome Commander Zhang. If there is any emergency, send cavalry to report to me. Also, quickly send someone to send a message to the commanders of the troops walking in front. Explain to them that the Japanese army's troops nearby may be a complete regiment, and the Japanese must be entangled. Everyone will finish it by dawn. Let them organize troops to pass immediately, never be in chaos, and do not take advantage of the opportunity to the Japanese in the secret. Then send a letter to Commander Zhang, report the situation here to him, ask him to give a command to ask all troops to advance in an orderly manner."

(The commander-in-chief Zhang here refers to the commander-in-chief Zhang of the 59th Army who is also the commander-in-chief of the rear of the palace.)

Xing Yusheng and Qian Shen quickly followed the order and went as they did. They knew in their hearts that the 13th Division, which was originally in Huainan, had interspersed here, which meant what it meant for the tens of thousands of Chinese troops who served as the rear guard. That is to say, the Japanese army's iron barrel encirclement in Xuzhou area would be completed, and the main force of the war zone jumped out. But there were several troops, and their rear guard troops were still around the circles. If one thing was not done, he would go around.

As soon as the two left, Cheng Jiaji hurriedly left with the guard company. The brigade headquarters and logistics and supplies of the Independent 100 Brigade were all behind. It would be fine if he handed over the entire stolen property to Gao Shiying in normal times. In this crisis-ridden environment, he was really not relieved.

After receiving the notice sent by Cheng Jiaji, the division brigade commanders of various troops were more likely to trust their existence than their non-existence. For the safety of their own troops, these division brigade commanders and meticulously organized their own big steps and advanced in an orderly manner. (They all regard the troops as their own capital, so they can not cherish them.)

After Commander Zhang issued the order, the movements of the divisions and brigades of the rear troops in the palace became more rapid and powerful.

By 2 a.m., except for the Fifty-Nine Army, which was walking at the back and occasionally fighting with small Japanese pursuers, all other troops rushed out of the Japanese army's still imperfect first blockade line.

The Japanese army in Zhuangzi saw that the Chinese army was moving forward in a very orderly manner, but it was abnormal and did not attack.

And the Japanese army that might have been hidden in the dark never appeared.

This made everyone very grateful. Only Cheng Jiaji, who was walking in front of the troops behind the palace, showed a deep shame when he saw each other and feared the enemy like a tiger. If he hadn't made a quick decision, the 30,000 to 40,000 Chinese troops would have been stuck at this intersection by a maximum of 2,000 Japanese troops.

If you delay for a few more hours, anything will happen. This made Cheng Jiaji very disappointed with these old Chinese troops. Although such troops and tactics are not very clever, the Japanese army, which had already completed the nationalization process of the military, could it be impossible for them to lose even if they were defeated?

This incident also prompted Cheng Jiaji to make up his mind to make a lot of effort even if he provokes some right and wrong and takes some risks, he still needs to make great efforts to raise a group of officers who defend national interests, be loyal to the country, and have fewer selfish thoughts. (He dared not think that he could make the soldiers of this era without any selfish thoughts, which is something that cannot be done in peaceful times, let alone in this chaotic world where soldiers and guns are kings.)

Compared with the torrent of history, Cheng Jiaji knew that he was just a boy stone that fell into the long river of history by chance, but since he came to this era, he must do his best to do something for the Chinese nation that has many disasters and difficulties.

At 3:30 in the morning, Cheng Jiaji and the 199th Regiment, which was specially stayed to protect the retreat of the 59th Army, finally met with the 59th Army's large team. (At this time, the 200th Regiment was still staring at the Japanese army in the village.)

"Brother Xunchen, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Commander Zhang, who was guarding the intersection of Chengjiaji Road, walking towards him, hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Haoran, it's all up to you today. Otherwise, these tens of thousands of troops were crowded on the side of the road, and that would be dangerous." Zhang Xunchen led the troops to fight and walk for the middle of the night, and felt exhausted, but his eyes were still so sharp and his voice was still very bright.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang greatly appreciated Cheng Jiaji's performance tonight. In addition, the ammunition supplies sent by the 100th Independent Brigade to the 59th Army last time made him very satisfied. With the great increase in favor of the famous general, the title of Cheng Jiaji was changed from an official position to a private brother who was acquainted with him.

In General Zhang's view, this change in title was just treating Cheng Jiaji as a friend who could make.

But for Cheng Jiaji, this meaning is very different.

‘Happy, happy! I really admire myself. I have only been in contact with my idol for a few days. If I can get along with this famous anti-Japanese general recognized by the people of the whole country in the future, this investment is too good. (Someone is fantasizing about it.)”

Because of the education he received since childhood, Cheng Jiaji did not realize that he was also a "famous" anti-Japanese general in front of the Chinese at this time. At least he received much more love letters from the "ignorant" girl than General Zhang.

"Brother Xunchen, let's retreat quickly." YY returned to YY, but Cheng Jiaji didn't want to stay in this dangerous place for another minute.

Commander-in-chief Zhang replied simply: "Finish. Then go quickly!"

This Shandong man who has been in the Northwest Army for a long time is actually a straightforward and generous man. He has only been in the army for a long time and is used to the simple and harsh military life, so he seems a little silly when it comes to socializing with others.

The two Chinese troops were immediately all in one. When they passed by Zhuangzi, the 200th regiment also retreated to meet. The Japanese troops guarding Zhuangzi saw that the Chinese army was in a prosperous state and had high morale, so they did not dare to act rashly.

The army was temporarily freed from the dangerous place, and there were only General Zhang, Cheng Jiaji and Qian Shen, who were silent.

Zhang Cheng and the others knew that the distance from Xuzhou to the war zone was more than a thousand miles away from Xuchang. This small false alarm in Tongshan was just the beginning of a lucky start. I am afraid that this lonely army would not always have such good luck. Then, that is the time to truly test the troops under their command.

As for Qian Shen? This guy is the kind of person who never has any affection. Who knows what he is thinking?

At 3:00 p.m. on May 22, northeast of Anhui, the mouth of the Bianxi River on the north bank of the Bian River.

Since joining the army, Cheng Jiaji has never seen such a tragic defeat of the Chinese army. Sadly, these troops were not defeated by the Japanese, they were just fighting to cross a river.

The 70,000 to 80,000 troops, including most of the divisions and brigades of the Corps and Guards, were surrounded by the Suxikou area, filling most of the ferry crossings in this area. In this case, no matter how elite your troops are, it is difficult to move forward.

The Japanese planes would not miss this kind of god-given opportunity. From time to time, bombs falling from the sky harvested the lives on the ground. This scene was extremely tragic.

This is not the most serious. The most troublesome thing is that due to the lack of unified command, there are gradually approaching Japanese pursuers on the ground, Japanese planes bombarded in the sky, and various troops were in chaos, and many troops lost control.

What made Cheng Jiaji feel fortunately was that the Independent 100 Brigade was not involved in this disaster because he wanted to cut off all the rear troops with the Fifty-Ninth Army and was not involved in this disaster.

"Brother Xunchen, what should I do? I'll listen to you." Cheng Jiaji, who had never faced this situation, really felt a little vain at this time.

Now the Chinese army, which still maintains a strict military appearance in the area of ​​Bianxikou, only independent of the two units, the 100th Brigade and the 59th Army.

"Brother Haoran, my 59th Army intends to turn around and return to the north, and fight back to the water to severely damage one of the Japanese troops, so that the Japanese army cannot easily invade south. Buy some time for the army that is surrounded by the ferry. In just two or three days, they should be able to basically cross the Bian River.

After saying this, General Zhang looked at Cheng Jiaji silently.

As Cheng Jiaji expected, idols are idols, and they show the noble state of "giving peace to others and being in danger by themselves" at any time.

As for why General Zhang remained silent, Cheng Jiaji was also very clear. The 59th Army has lost too many personnel and its combat power is no longer as good as before. Whether it can severely damage the Japanese army, even this general who has always been a stern person, is not sure about it.

If one hundred independent brigades were to be sent to this journey, the plan would be much bigger, but General Zhang really couldn't speak. He was not willing to force others to do so. After all, everyone, as the commanders who led the troops, was responsible for the lives of thousands of brothers under his command.

Although the 100 Independent Brigade had many firefights with the Japanese army along the way and suffered minor casualties, the unit's system was still very complete. At this time, it could take a detour to cross the river or take another path.

Time seems to have passed for a long time. (It's only a few minutes in fact.)

"Brother Xunchen, my army is willing to advance and retreat with the 59th Army." Cheng Jiaji said the answer that General Zhang was looking forward to word by word. (Cheng Jiaji was mourning in his heart. The capital I had finally saved up was probably not guaranteed at this moment. This is also the fault of myself being fainted when I saw the idol and always following closely. Personal worship is harmful to others! The cost of spiritual sublimation is not low.)

"However, the two divisions of you and I have worked together to fight for a life of tens of thousands of troops. They should work hard, and there is no free lunch in the world. It is not too much for us to accommodate some of their scattered soldiers, which can be considered as a loss." Before General Zhang could speak, Cheng Jiaji added another sentence after the bold words he said before, "After the charity and dialogue with a very small person."

Cheng Jiaji's words changed the face of Commander Zhang, who was recognized as having the courage of Mount Tai before and his color was unchanged.

The two of them had a restrained argument over this issue.

Finally, Cheng Jiaji made the condition that he would return the personnel of each department to the original system after this war, and asked Commander-in-Chief Zhang to agree to the personnel sent by the Independent 100 Brigade to accommodate all sporadic personnel in the name of the commander-in-chief of the rear of the palace. The containment personnel were temporarily added to fifty respectively according to the ratio of *

The Ninth Army and the Independent One Hundred Brigade. This time, Cheng Jiaji was a rare kind-hearted time, which made the Fifty-Nine Army take the big head. Who told me that they were both the immediate boss and their idol? As for the return of the members of the sheltered departments to the original troops after this war, Cheng Jiaji thought so. After this battle, those troops were still not sure where they were at the end of the world. Speaking of the mouth, did Cheng Jiaji spit it out? If he was urged to go up to the peak, at least he would have to learn "thick black learning" from shameless Americans and also "voluntary repatriation". I missed that there would not be many people who could return to the original troops under the "education" of his own hands.

So, throughout the afternoon, Cheng Jiaji, who had obtained the sword above, sent troops from battalions to accommodate "straight soldiers" everywhere.

The troops sent by Cheng Jiaji were very skilled. They did not rush into the turbulent ferry, which would easily disperse themselves, and would specifically turn around the edge of the surging sea of ​​people. Whenever they saw the "sporadic" missing personnel from each unit, as long as they were less than one company and had weapons, they would immediately take them under the name of the shelter team of the General Command of the Palace Back Force.

After a few hours, by dusk, these shelter teams had "suspended" five or six thousand people. If General Zhang had not repeatedly urged them, the wolf cubs sent by Cheng Jiaji would have "suspended" them again and they would have been able to contain tens of thousands of people at various ferries.

After spending midnight digesting the results of the "Holding" in the afternoon, the 59th Army and the 100 Independent Brigade united to drive north.

The vanguard of a brigade of the Japanese army heading south also drove towards the mouth of Suxi on the same day.
Chapter completed!
