Chapter 341 The situation has changed (45 more, please recommend tickets for subscription)
"Woo~ woo~ woo~~~"

The whistle of the train was sounding, and the "bang bang bang bang" sound of the train wheels hitting the rails was endless, and it was slowly heading towards Xuzhou.

It was almost the same as when I came here, and it took eight hours to go back to Xuzhou.

When I returned to Xuzhou, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and the surrounding area was covered with snow. Even the ancient city of Xuzhou was covered with white snow, which scattered a little fluorescent light when the sky was still dark. It looks great.

As Zhang Tianhai led the first regiment directly under the third theater to return to Xuzhou, the temporarily suspended training plan resumed.

When Zhang Tianhai's troops started the training plan again, Shen Honglie, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Army, the commander-in-chief of the Qingdao Navy, and the commander of the Third Fleet of the Republic of China Navy, was in a bad situation. He was leading the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps to retreat in the direction of Zhucheng.

Shen Honglie was originally from the Northeast Army. He was the acting commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army and the commander of the First Fleet.

Later, after the Northeast changed its banner, it was compiled as the Third Fleet of the Republic of China Navy and served as the commander of the Third Fleet.

After the September [-]th Incident, the Northeast fell, and the Third Fleet of the Republic of China Navy lost the military port it relied on for survival, so it could only withdraw to Qingdao Military Port for garrison.

Later, after being stationed in Qingdao Military Port, the "Laoshan Incident" occurred within the Third Fleet.

After the Laoshan Incident, Shen Honglie completely controlled the Third Fleet, which also led to the resignation of Hu Ruoyu, the mayor of QD City at the time, and then Shen Honglie became the mayor of QD City.

……

This time, the Japanese army first blocked the Qingdao military port, and then carried out a devastating bombing of various ships of the national army, and then carried out landing operations.

Although the intensity of the battle was not as intense as that of the Songhu Battlefield, the difference would not be too great. The single and weak National Army Marine Corps was no match for well-armed opponents under the joint blockade of sea and air artillery fire.

So there was this scene where Shen Honglie led the Marine Corps (about one brigade) to retreat.

"Quick, quick! Speed ​​up!" Shen Honglie shouted loudly while sitting on the armored vehicle. Compared with the very poorly equipped Sichuan Army, the Marine Corps' equipment is much better.

After all, the Marine Corps was born in the original Northeast Army. First of all, the infantry equipment is not bad. Even if Shen Honglie later took charge of Qingdao to expand the army, they bought Japanese firearms, and the equipment is naturally not bad. After all, Qingdao is also an important port. In terms of taxation, in addition to maintaining the daily use of the Navy's Third Fleet, there is still some money left over. This money is naturally used to expand and maintain the Marine Corps.

Originally, this Marine Corps still had a brigade and a regiment, but when it was guarding Qingdao, that regiment was lost, so it could only be combined into a brigade.

Zhucheng is just the next defensive location. If the Japanese army presses further, they can only retreat to the direction of Zou County.

After all, Cao Fulin's Fifth Army is still there, and everyone is under the Third Army, and it is correct to merge them into one more anti-Japanese armed force.

……

On October [-], Fan Zhuxian, the inspector of Liaocheng, Shandong Province, led the crowd to fight between Qingping, Chiping, and Liaocheng.

On October 70, more than [-] members of the Shimada Division (Shimada Kiyonobu No.[-] Seventh Division) traveled southward from Tianjin;

Enemy traces were found in Mengyin and Huangxian counties on the right wing of the Jinpu line, and the national army on the left wing stood firm in Jiaxiang;

The No.20 Second Army on the front of the Jinpu Line attacked from Teng County to the north, and Deng Xihou, commander-in-chief of the Group Army, came to the front to command and conquered Zou County;
The enemy army in the southern section captured Chao County.

In just a few days, the situation on the front line has changed so much that Zhang Tianhai and the others couldn't help but raise their hearts.

In Xuzhou City, the Third War Zone is directly under the First Regiment Headquarters.

"Brother Fang Jie, how is the training of the troops now? Are the company commanders obeying the command?" Zhang Tianhai asked Zhou Fangjie after returning from a meeting with the war zone commander's department.

"It's okay, troupe, the troops below haven't changed much, and these company commanders are also more intelligent. After this training session is over, it's time to practice offensive and defensive coordination." Zhou Fangjie suggested.

Zhang Tianhai nodded and said: "Alright, let the company commanders down here digest it. But we must hurry up, maybe one day, we will be caught on the front line. Now the battle in southern Shandong is urgent. Although the Sichuan Army And the Northwest Army is at the front, but once the Japanese army increases its troops, it will be worth fighting."

He only knows that there was a LY victory, but he can't remember when it happened, probably around this time period, when the front line is in a hurry, it is impossible not to draw the troops of the first regiment directly under the third theater on the front line.

"Yes, group seat. But I want to know how the commander-in-chief of the theater will use our army." Zhou Fangjie said.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not Chief Li, how do I know?" Zhang Tianhai said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Uh...seems to be right." Zhou Fangjie suddenly realized that he seemed to have asked a stupid question that couldn't be more stupid.

Time passed quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day was January [-]th, and the enemy army in Shandong invaded southward in three ways—one way went south along Jinpu Road, trying to invade Xuzhou; Liuhe attempted to cut off the Longhai line of our army.

On the same day, the enemy and our armies fought fiercely between Liangxiadian and Zou County.

On the same day, the enemy captured Wenshang.

……

Headquarters of the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army.

Isotani Rensuke's division headquarters was set up in Jining. This place is not far from the front line, and it is the best place to capture fighters and direct command.

As long as there are any changes on the front line, he can command the troops to make up for the mistakes and omissions in the first time.

Sitting in the cubicle in the division headquarters, there was a small wine table in front of Rensuke Isoya, and he was drinking sake at this time.

"Yano-kun, how's it going? The sake here tastes alright?" Isotani Rensuke looked at Yano Shinichi who was opposite him proudly.

Yano Shinichi is not the chief of staff of the Tenth Division, he is the chief of staff of the [-]th Division. This time he came to the Tenth Division to exchange combat experience on behalf of the [-]th Division.

"Chief Isotani is indeed a person who knows how to live, and the taste of sake here is similar to that of his hometown." Yano Shinichi said after taking a sip of sake.

"Sure enough, Yano-kun is also a good wine person. You can tell that this wine is from your hometown when you taste it. This wine was brought out from my hometown in Hyogo by someone I entrusted." Isotani Rensuke praised, and he and Yano Shinichi They are all from Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and they are from the same hometown, so the communication is more cordial.

Yano Shinichi let out a long sigh, and said, "The cherry blossoms in my hometown are about to bloom in two months. It's a pity that you and I, Commander Isoya, are both soldiers of the Empire. We have to work hard for the future of the empire. We cannot go back to our hometown to see the cherry blossoms." Bloom season is here, and it's a sad story."

"Yano-kun, you and I are fellow villagers, so we should do it in the name of fellow villagers. Today there are only fellow villagers here, and there is no official position. You can just call me Isoya-kun, and there is no need to call me an official position. This is too alien." Gu Liansuke reminded Yano Shinichi.
