War of Resistance

Chapter 351 Soldiers Encircle Bengbu
At noon the next day, the Japanese troops of the Ninth Division, which was already ready, dispatched troops from Jiashan County (that is, Mingguang) and Chihe Township respectively, and encircled Bengbu via Fengyang, Dingyuan and Linhuaiguan.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Division Chief, I have been ordered to report here!" Major General Akiyama Yoshiyoshi, head of the Sixth Infantry Brigade, walked up to Yoshika Ryosuke and reported.

Major General Akiyama Yoshiyoshi is the most typical five-short figure among the Japanese, but he is better than a stocky and majestic figure. The handle of the samurai saber on his waist is printed with a cherry blossom pattern, and in the middle of the cherry blossom is written the Ninth Division. The code name is "Wu".

In fact, in the Japanese army, most of the divisions have a code name - like the Sixth Division, its code name is "Ming"; for example, the No.16 Division, its code name is "Heng".

I don't know if it is because of participating in many battles that Akiyama Yoshiyoshi always has a murderous look and an arrogant arrogance.

The fleshy face means that he is not a character to be trifled with.

Yoshika Ryosuke stood up from his chair, walked up to Akiyama Yoshiyoshi, and said, "Akiyama-kun, there is an important mission to call you and your sixth brigade back this time! The Chinese army in Bengbu has already been tenacious. After persisting for a long time, the main force of our division was to attack Chihe Town and Jiashan County. Just last night, I received an order from Commander Haneda to take down Bengbu as soon as possible."

After hearing Ji Jialiangfu's words, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi immediately bowed his head and responded: "Hay! Your Excellency, Division Commander, as long as you give an order, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to do so. The sixth brigade headquarters, is I will definitely be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Yoshika Ryosuke nodded lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Souga, Mr. Akiyama is worthy of being a brave warrior of the empire, very good. Now I have decided to temporarily strengthen your department with the artillery unit directly under the division headquarters. Launch a full-scale attack on Bengbu! Within two days, Bengbu must be taken, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Commander Haneda!"

"Hay!" Akiyama Yoshihito replied again in a deep voice, but his demeanor was full of excitement. Only when there is a battle, will there be military exploits, and only when there are military exploits, can he be promoted.

If he wins two more battles, he Akiyama Yiyun will not be far from being promoted to division commander.

Like most senior Japanese officers, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was a militant.

Early on the morning of February [-]st, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi surrounded Bengbu with the main force of his Sixth Brigade.

A fierce battle is about to break out...

Then turn the camera to Lanling, the City Defense Command.

"I, Zhang Yulin, are going to be abolished. I have become so decadent just because of such a cavalry company. How can I lead troops to fight?" Zhang Tianguan closed the door of his office and sat on the sofa covered with blankets. Just lying in Ge You's paralyzed posture.

A cigarette was lit in Zhang Tianhai's hand, and a wisp of smoke slowly climbed up to the ceiling like a filament, and then disappeared into the air.

This was supposed to be a very melancholy and sad mood, but it was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who?" Zhang Tianhai's voice sounded a little unhappy. After all, at this very decadent moment, it would be very embarrassing if someone saw him.

"It's me." A female voice like a silver bell came from outside the door.

After hearing this voice, Zhang Tianhai hurried to open the door, and it turned out to be Zheng Man.

After Zheng Man opened the door, he quickly waved the smell of smoke in front of his nose with his hand, then walked in, opened the curtains and opened the window.

After finishing this series of things, Zheng Man glared at Zhang Tianhai, and said, "Look at you, you are hiding in the office by yourself and smoking, it's fine if you don't open the door, and don't open this window for a little bit of ventilation. , isn't the whole person depressed?"

"It's okay, it's not a big problem. There are so many guns in Little Japan, and so many shells haven't killed me yet. It's just our life, it's still relatively hard, maybe Lord Hades didn't want to take our lives?" Zhang Zhang Tianhai smiled and said.

"You must be poor!" Zheng Man closed the door casually, and sat next to Zhang Tianhai.

"You don't have to watch the communication office today?" Zhang Tianhai asked with a smile.

"No matter how busy you are, there is still time to be lazy." Zheng Man said, "By the way, when do you have time, come back to Wuhan with me?"

"Wuhan?" A trace of confusion flashed across Zhang Tianhai's eyes.

Zhang Yulin's predecessor was from Wuhan, and he didn't know how to face Zhang Yulin's parents and what attitude he should use if he returned to Wuhan.

"Yes, now Nanjing's military and political organs have been transferred to Wuhan." Zheng Man nodded.

He also understood what Zheng Man meant, and he probably wanted to take him to meet her parents.

It wasn't that Zhang Tianhai didn't want to take responsibility or something, but when he thought of the Japanese army that was approaching every step of the way, and the precarious situation in southern Shandong, Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly: In such a situation, he couldn't possibly Those who left, don't forget, in addition to being the head of the first regiment directly under the third theater, he is also the city defense commander of Lanling!

The front of the Japanese army was already approaching LY and was about to reach Lanling. It was impossible for him to leave at this time.

"Wait until this battle is over! When the defense of Xuzhou is over, I will return to Wuhan with you." Zhang Tianhai made a promise that he should also fulfill his filial piety for his predecessor Zhang Yulin when he returned home.

No matter what happens in this life, he will live on as Zhang Yulin, an officer of the National Army Zhang Yulin who grew up in Wuhan and graduated from the seventh batch of Whampoa!

"Okay, I'll remember." Zheng Man stood up and said, then walked out of Zhang Tianhai's office with a smile on his face.

No one noticed her hurried footsteps, and she walked into her dormitory in a short while.

There was a suppressed retching sound.

……

Wuhan, as the key city where China's actual politics, economy, military, and transportation converge at this time (in fact, it is the responsibility of acting as the capital), can be described as the heart of the Republic of China.

As such an important city that exists like a heart, Wuhan and its vicinity are already a large barracks at this time. More than a dozen armies of the national army have assembled nearby and are ready to be assigned to other battlefields to support operations at any time.

There is a battle cloud near Wuhan, but the city of Wuhan, which is in the middle of the eye of the storm, is calm.

This is especially true for Wuchang as the head of the three towns in Wuhan.

It was night, and the lights in a large mansion in Wuchang City were brightly lit.

Zheng Boqu, an important military and political member of the Kuomintang party, already has gray hair. After all, he is also 61 years old, not young anymore.

At this time, Zheng Boqu was sitting in the middle of the living room leaning on a cane. He came from a wealthy family, and his words and deeds were quite generous like those of a wealthy family.

"Housekeeper! Butler!" Zheng Boqu said in a hoarse voice.

Soon, the butler in a suit appeared. As the butler of Zheng's mansion, he had a lot of face.

"Come here, master. Do you have any orders?" The housekeeper said respectfully, let's not say that Mr. Zheng's status is high, let's just say that Mr. Zheng once saved his life and rewarded him with a bite of food. It deserves him to treat it with such an attitude.

Zheng Boqu sighed, and said, "I don't know how long my precious daughter has been away from home, I feel like I haven't seen her for a long time..."

The housekeeper still maintained a respectful attitude and said: "Master Hui, before you left Nanjing, you met her once, but you haven't seen her since then. I heard that Miss has gone to the fifth theater with the army."

"It's good to be in Li Delin's Fifth War Zone. Last time I sent a letter asking her when she would come to Wuhan to visit me as a father, but she hasn't replied yet." Zheng Boqu sighed. road.

"Isn't the young master and the second young master accompanying you in Wuhan? You have nothing to worry about. Besides, Minister He also said that the army that the lady went to is the German weapon army. The combat power is strong, and basically nothing will happen. Yes." The butler said patiently.

"Hey, don't mention the two little bastards, the boss and the second child. I feel a headache when I look at them. Although they hold some small positions in the government, they are all relying on my shadow to get in. Otherwise, with their Huahua personality, can you still get along?" Zheng Boqu said angrily, as if he didn't like to see his two sons very much.

Before the housekeeper could speak, Zheng Boqu continued, "Hey, since Minister He said that there is no problem, then I can only trust him."

"Yes, sir." The butler replied with a smile.
