Invincible from the sword

Chapter 202 Let's all meet this fierce man

The appointment of Chu Yunfei was an order from the headquarters of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army.

Appoint Chu Yunfei as the temporary chief of staff of the first regiment.

Chu Yunfei was quite surprised by this appointment.

Temporary formation of the first group?
It was the first time he had heard the name.

In the Eighth Route Army, when did the first temporary regiment come into being again?
The brigade commander told Chu Yunfei: "That's right, we have received the latest order to deploy troops south into Hunan to fight against the No. 11 Japanese army.

This provisional first regiment is a newly formed force.

The commander is Zhang Lei.

Now the first regiment is temporarily organized, and there is still a lack of a chief of staff, and there has been no suitable candidate.

Just in time for you to come.

Prepare as soon as possible, the troops will set off in ten days. "

Going south to Hunan?

When Chu Yunfei heard what the brigade commander said, he trembled with excitement.

This is war!
In the past few days, Chu Yunfei has heard more or less about the No.11 Japanese army.

It just feels too far away from me.

Now Chu Yunfei, who was able to go south and directly fight against the No.11 Japanese Army, felt his blood boil.

Ten days later, the provisional first regiment set off on time.

The brigade commander looked at the departing troops with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Lei, you must bring the troops back to me.

Because it was going south to increase troops in Hunan, this time, Zhang Lei's temporary regiment took the train. After leaving Shanxi, they took the train directly to Nanchang.

Zhang Lei didn't know the destination of his temporary group until he got on the train.

According to the order of the Chief of the Ninth War Zone, Zhang Lei's temporary regiment went directly to Nanchang.

Nanchang is the east gate of Changsha. If the Japanese army wants to attack Changsha, they must attack Nanchang first.

As long as Nanchang is occupied and the No. 11 Japanese army attacks Changsha, half of the victory will be won.

And Nanchang's geographical location is very important, between Wuhan and Jinling.

Such a position is like a thorn in the throat of the No. 11 Japanese Army.

If Nanchang is not captured, it will be basically impossible for the Japanese army to occupy Changsha.

On the train, Zhang Lei, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and the others analyzed the situation in the ninth theater in detail.

I think it is more difficult to win.

The best possibility is to draw a tie.

And this is already a victory.

Currently stationed in Nanchang is Commander Luo, Commander-in-Chief of the No.19 Group Army in the Ninth Theater.

Zhang Lei had no idea how many troops there would be.

However, Zhang Lei is not optimistic about defending Nanchang.

Although Nanchang's current location is very important, because the two barriers of Wuhan and Jinling have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, Nanchang is now an isolated city.

The chances of keeping it are slim.

Zhang Lei estimated that the Chief of the Ninth War Zone would come to the same conclusion.

However, even if it cannot be defended, it is necessary to consume as much Japanese troops as possible here.

The troops in the ninth war zone have not yet assembled.

The defense of the entire Hunan has not yet officially started.

The Ninth War Zone must hold back the Japanese army as much as possible in Nanchang to buy time for Hunan's defense.

Therefore, the battle in Nanchang will definitely be very tragic.

As for Zhang Lei's Temporary Regiment, the Chief of the Ninth War Zone still knows about it.

Tiger Boy has also heard about Zhang Lei.

After all, Zhang Lei killed the field observation group of the Japanese North China Front Army.

Miyamoto Musashi died in the hands of Zhang Lei.

Others don't know this, but Tiger Boy, who is a senior officer of the national army, still knows it.

Tiger Boy remembered very clearly that the old man in Shancheng kept sighing.

self-mumbling.

It would be great if Zhang Lei was a student of his Whampoa.

Tiger Cub was very impressive.

When the Eighth Route Army sent Zhang Lei over, Hu Zai was somewhat surprised.

People like this are treasures in the Eighth Route Army.

But Tiger Boy didn't take Zhang Lei's temporary mess to heart.

No matter how strong the fighting power is, it is only a regiment.

In front of the Japanese field troops, one regiment is simply not enough.

In such a big battle, whether a regiment can survive a day is still a question.

Chief of Staff Wu, Chief of Staff of the Ninth War Zone, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

It looks very elegant.

He is very interested in Zhang Lei.

And he heard that Zhang Lei's temporary regiment was formed by the elite of several regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

Combat power is impressive.

Regarding Tiger Boy's decision to send the temporary regiment directly to Nanchang, Chief of Staff Wu felt that it was a bit too unreasonable.

In any case, Zhang Lei also came from Shanxi, and he was also the Eighth Route Army.

He, the commander of the Ninth War Zone, should see him anyway.

Hu Zai is a bit conceited, and he has always been prejudiced against the Eighth Route Army.

Back then, Tiger Boy led an army of hundreds of thousands to fight the Red Army. As a result, the Red Army crossed Chishui four times and made Tiger Boy around.

For this, Tiger Cub has always been rooted in his bosom.

As a senior commander in the national army, Huzai has always been a very capable general under the old man Shancheng.

Tiger Boy has always had reservations about the cooperation between the two militaries.

I feel that relying on the national army itself can also defeat the Japanese army.

But Chief of Staff Wu of the Ninth Theater doesn't think so.

At least for now, Tiger Cub's actions are inappropriate.

Now the Ninth War Zone is seriously short of troops. The Eighth Route Army has transferred two divisions from the New Fourth Army and sent a reinforced regiment from Shanxi. Anyway, this is for the purpose of resisting Japan.

Tiger Boy asked Chief of Staff Wu: "This Zhang Lei, I always feel a little mythical.

I admit that this Zhang Lei has some skills.

But this is Hunan, not Shanxi.

Opposite us is the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army.

The opponent is Ningji Okamura.

One hundred thousand Japanese troops.

It is simply impossible to win with a little cleverness.

No matter how powerful Zhang Lei is, he only has the strength of a regiment in his hands.

What can a group do?
Do you believe it or not?

As long as we start a war, we will definitely lose more than one regiment in one day.

It is also a common occurrence that there is no division in a day. "

Chief of Staff Wu has worked with Tiger Boy for many years and knows Tiger Boy's temper very well.

He nodded: "Sir, you are right.

We fought against the Japanese army many times, and we lost a lot of troops.

But this time, our troops are insufficient, only about 20.And there are still some troops that are not yet in place.

Therefore, we must use all our forces well.

Moreover, the last time the old man in Shancheng held a Hunan combat conference, you and I were both present.

The old man in Shancheng said it himself, let us learn from the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, it also agreed to launch a plan to conduct guerrilla warfare training courses in Nanyue.

This in itself has shown that the Eighth Route Army's combat methods have merits.

I think you might as well meet Zhang Lei and listen to his views on this great war.

That's nothing to lose either. "

Tiger Boy nodded: "Chief of Staff, you seem to be very optimistic about Zhang Lei."

Chief of Staff Wu smiled: "Indeed, I really want to know what the person who can kill the three generals of the Japanese army looks like."

Zhang Lei's temporary regiment had just arrived in Nanchang, and before he could take a rest, he received an order from the Chief of the Ninth War Zone to leave for Changsha immediately.

Tiger Zai, commander of the Ninth War Zone, wanted to see him.

This made Zhang Lei stunned.

Tiger cub wants to see me?

Zhang Lei was surprised.

I wonder if the telegram was sent by mistake.

He, Zhang Lei, is now the head of the regiment, and Hu Zai is the highest officer in the ninth war zone.

There are many levels in between.

What does Tiger Cub want me to do?
Zhao Gang frowned and thought for a while: "Leader, no matter what, you should leave for Changsha as soon as possible.

This is the first time our temporary group has left Shanxi.

Many situations are unfamiliar.

If you go to the Chief's Department of the Ninth War Zone, you can also get acquainted with the whole battle situation.

This is very helpful for us to fight against the Japanese army. "

Zhang Lei thinks so too.

Right now, his eyes are still dark.

Not to mention the Ninth War Zone, even the troops stationed in Nanchang are still unclear.

All I know is that the former enemy commander guarding Nanchang was Commander Luo of the No.19 Army.

At this time, people in Changsha were in panic.

It's already messed up.

Tiger Boy held the first military meeting in the Ninth War Zone Chief's Department.

The Chief of the Ninth War Zone is located in a middle school.

It is a two-story building.

All are masonry structures, very strong.

In the combat conference room, Hu Zai frowned, wanting to see what his subordinates were thinking.

The war is imminent, and all generals must unite as one.

Otherwise, it is impossible to win.

In the combat conference room, all commanders above the divisions in the ninth war zone participated.

A large group of generals is full, and it looks very powerful.

Sixteen armies and 35 divisions!

For this battle, many people are more pessimistic.

Among the sixteen armies, many troops retreated all the way.

From Songhu to Jinling, from Jinling to Wuhan, and from Wuhan to here.

The morale of the retreat was gone.

But most of the commanders still said that they must fight the Japanese invaders to the death.

Commander Yang Junjun, commander of the No.20 Seventh Army, was trembling with anger.

A mouthful of Sichuan dialect took off, and spittle stars flew around.

Anyway, it means one thing.

Can no longer withdraw.

This has all been withdrawn to Hunan!
If you withdraw again, where else can you withdraw?

must fight!
His No.20 Seventh Army is all Sichuan Army.

The equipment is the worst in the ninth theater.

And the casualties of the troops are basically the largest.

From the Battle of Songhu to the present, his No.20 Seventh Army has changed soldiers.

After fighting for so long, if he retreated again, Lao Yang couldn't bear it.

Just as he was talking, a second lieutenant ran over and said that Zhang Lei was here.

coming so soon?

Tiger Boy was stunned for a moment, and then asked someone to bring Zhang Lei in.

The people here are no strangers to Zhang Lei's name.

After all, this is the person who even the old man in Shancheng has issued a commendation order.

For them, this is very rare.

At that time, Zhang Lei was a battalion commander.

It was the first time that the old man in Shancheng issued a commendation order to commend a battalion commander.

Tiger Boy really wanted to see how much Zhang Lei was capable of, so he told Chief of Staff Wu: "Chief of Staff, go and invite Zhang Lei in, let's all take a look at this fierce man."
