Chapter 409 The Restoration of Meiling (3)

"Captain Li, I heard that you are leaving Meiling?"

Just as the flag-handing ceremony began, Xiao Yuan walked over with a few guerrillas.The same force that fights devils in Meiling is about to leave now. As a friendly army, she feels that she should come and see him off. After all, the two sides have cooperated in fighting devils before.

Li Chong held the flagpole and planted it on the ground, looked at the Eighth Route guerrillas who were approaching, and said, "According to Shangfeng's order, our regiment will set off to the main battlefield in Changsha. Captain Xiao is really sharp, you can see every move in Meiling, From now on, the burden of the Meiling War of Resistance will fall on you."

"So the devils are going to attack Changsha!"

When Xiao Yuan heard that the national army from Meiling was going to the main battlefield in Changsha, she immediately understood that a large-scale battle on the frontal battlefield was about to take place.

If a war breaks out in Changsha, it will be another big battle that attracts the attention of the whole country. It will not only be a battle around Changsha City, but it will be centered on Changsha City and a radius of hundreds of kilometers will break out at any time. In the past, This is true of all the wars surrounding Shanghai, Nanjing, Xuzhou, Wuhan and other cities.

For the Wanli District team she leads, it will be more than just a spectator at that time. Once the gunshots in Changsha are fired, Changsha and Nanchang are bound to have a linkage effect.

Although her Wanli District team will only be a small team in the rolling army, it will carry heavy burdens no matter how strong it is, and Xiao Yuan's heart is also surging.

Li Chong raised the flagpole and said, "Since your army is here, let's witness a brief flag-giving ceremony."

Standing between the departure team and the left-behind team holding a flag, Li Chong looked at the thirty-odd wounded soldiers and the twenty-odd young recruits under the age of 16, and said with a serious expression:

"Today our regiment was ordered to go to the front line. You stay at the regiment headquarters and will continue to fight persistently on behalf of our regiment against the devils in areas other than Meiling!"

"You will always be part of my [-]rd Regiment, and you will always be in the order of our regiment's battle!"

"Now, I grant you the title 'Meiling Detachment of the [-]rd Division, [-]th Brigade, [-]rd Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army! Daqi continues to fight against the Japanese aggressors!"

"Niu Dayong!"

"Here!" Niu Dayong walked out of the queue.

"Receive the flag!"

Niu Dayong strode forward with a bandage on his left shoulder, but this did not prevent him from holding the flag tightly with his right arm.Behind him, the sixty soldiers who stayed behind at the regiment headquarters looked up at the flag fluttering in the forest wind in the mountains, which will be the spiritual support for them to fight for in the future.

"salute!"

With an order, Li Chongdang saluted first, and behind him, the soldiers who were about to set off raised their right arms one after another to salute the comrades who stayed behind.

"salute!"

Niu Dayong then let out a loud yell, and the officers and soldiers who stayed behind insisted on saluting even if they were injured or sick.

Today's weather is rare and sunny, and this parting afternoon, gusts of mountain wind are rippling among the people.

Li Chong took a step back, stood in front of the team, sat on the three-wheeled iron motorcycle, with the accelerator in his hand, "Let's go!"

A team of more than 280 people set off immediately, including the company directly under the regiment, the heavy machine gun platoon, the artillery platoon, the guard platoon, the regiment's civilian staff, the regiment's hospital, the art team, and the cooking team.

The team was mighty, farther and farther away from the main peak, and the left-behind soldiers stood on the hillside holding their flags and kept watching. From time to time, the neighing and snorting of donkeys, mules and horses came, and slowly disappeared with the sound of tin motorcycles.

The scheduled meeting place for the whole group is outside Changbu Town. After Tang Dayao used poison gas bombs to turn this town into a "poison stronghold", it was completely abandoned by the devils in Anyi County. Now the devils in Anyi County are in the lower branch of the Beiliao River A bunker was built on the other side of the river, hoping to use the natural river to block the Chongqing army in Meiling.

Although the devils withdrew, there was no population return to this town. It was only because several battles had occurred in this place, and the soil was stained red several times with blood. The local people felt a little ominous here.

The third battalion was stationed closest to here, they came out of Meiling first and gathered here, then the first battalion, and then the second battalion.

The second battalion was farthest from the assembly point, but in order to avoid the head of the regiment waiting for him, the second battalion commander Jian Yongjiang urged the whole battalion to move quickly after receiving the order.

When Jian Yongjiang arrived outside Changbu Town, Tang Dayao and Tang Dahai had already chatted up. Tang Dahai was holding a piece of paper like a big newspaper in his hand.

As soon as the two saw Jian Yongjiang, Qi Qi came over and looked at the team passing behind Jian Yongjiang. The number of people in the second battalion was a little surprised.

Tang Dayao took the lead in commenting, "Oh, old Jane, why do you have only one battalion of soldiers here?"

Compared with the first and third battalions, the second battalion has about one more company than them.However, this is not difficult to understand. In the first battle against encirclement and suppression in Meiling, the second battalion directly killed 27 people, which is much less than the first and third battalions. In addition, more than 120 recruits were recruited later. The battalion put out all its troops, and there were more than 540 people.

In fact, there are quite a few battalions in the first, third, and second battalions. The first battalion now has more than 480 people, and the third battalion has more than 460 people, which are far beyond the number of ordinary battalions. But for the second battalion, which has more than five people, the visual It just lost a little impact.

While embracing and shaking hands, Jian Yongjiang teased, "Hey! It's only been [-] days since I saw you, and the two of you look more and more rounded, and you're doing well. Tang Datou, if your head grows longer, your neck will be bigger. I can't hold it any longer."

Immediately looking at the troops behind the two of them, he took a deep breath, "Hey! There are soldiers from the two of you behind, my dear, light machine guns can make up half a platoon. Tsk tsk! The cantaloupe grenades of the little devil can be seen everywhere. Usually collectively When you act, you are only carrying the machine guns issued by the regiment, and the private goods are all hidden!"

"You are not simple, you are the most numerous of our three battalions! Hey, bring me those six soldiers carrying black cloth!"

Tang Dahai looked at the second battalion passing by in front of him. There were six soldiers in groups of three, and they were carrying something together, which was covered with black cloth.

"Old Jane, what are ten things under the black cloth?"

"It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. After repelling the devil's siege, I rested for two days, and suddenly thought that the little devil still had two strongholds, Shibi Town and Guojia Town, under my nose. So I took the time After erasing these two small thorns, I brought back two heavy machine guns along the way. Alas! It’s just that the machine guns have less ammunition, only ten spring plates and three hundred rounds of ammunition.”

Although it was not worth mentioning, Jian Yongjiang's tone was full of complacency.
