Chapter 046 Recuperation (Part 2)

(The second update today~~~~~~~~~~~ How many things will happen if Yang Yiming goes to Chongqing?)

Another day later, more than 4,000 people in the entire ** brigade were finally allocated, and officers from various departments finally led their own soldiers back to the jurisdiction for training and preparation.

Speaking of which, there is a big difference between new recruits and veterans. Those veterans became the backbone of training. Just as Yang Yiming was training the troops while understanding the situation near Taierzhuang, he came from Xuzhou.

So Yang Yiming led a few soldiers to the Xuzhou Operations Command in the afternoon. When he learned that Yang Yiming came to Li Zongren came out to greet him in person. After arriving at the office, Li Zongren said: "Bojian, Chongqing has called."

"Chongqing?"

Li Zongren nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek still values ​​you very much. The telegram said that you were asked to rush to Chongqing in a few days."

Yang Yiming was surprised and asked immediately: "Ah? Did Chiang Kai-shek say why he asked me to go to Chongqing? The war is imminent, so I can't go to Chongqing!"

Of course, Li Zongren couldn't accept such a fact, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about this. Alas, since he gave the order, you can execute it."

"What should I do if I am a brigade?" Yang Yiming asked.

"I'll find a way to do this. Now that your ** brigade has just been established, you can't go to the battlefield. Deng Xihou, in Taierzhuang, has told me that you must preserve the existence of your ** brigade, so that your ** brigade can sharpen the knife and train the team more. It's not too late to go to the battlefield after the team truly becomes a weapon."

"Does Commander Deng know I'm going to Chongqing?" Yang Yiming asked then.

"He knew, but now, Taierzhuang is about to become a big battle, so Deng Xihou will not come."

"This...what should my team do?"

"Well, I have also considered this. The Fifth War Zone and the Second War Zone are in a stalemate, so your ** brigade is better to retreat to the safe zone. I carefully considered that the Tangshan area is not very safe. What do you think about Taihe, more than 300 miles southwest of Xuzhou?"

"Taihe County?"

Li Zongren nodded and said, "That is the main point of retreating in my Xuzhou War Zone. Arrange your ** brigade there to give you enough time to train, and then your troops can block the Japanese army near Taihe after the entire retreat in the war zone."

Yang Yiming looked at the map, and finally nodded and said, "I'm following the commander-in-chief!"

After saying goodbye to Li Zongren, Yang Yiming returned to Tangshan that night. When he returned to Tangshan, he revealed the news of his trip to Chongqing as soon as possible. Everyone was surprised to hear Yang Yiming's news. Yang Yiming himself did not know all of them, so everyone was even more slim about the future of ** Travel.

"The **Travel has just been built, but you don't know when you will be back here?" Shen Zui asked.

"Oh, don't worry, the ** Brigade was appointed by General Deng Xihou and General Li Zongren. It is impossible for anyone to take it. If I go to Chongqing this time, you will also drive with me. Finally, when the troops are stationed for a long time in Taihe, I will come back from Chongqing and then Taihe will meet you. I believe that the Fifth War Zone must have begun to retreat on the entire line at that time, so the task of blocking the enemy will fall on us. Therefore, you can rest assured that the battle will be fought, and I will come back. There is also a point when I go to Chongqing, you must train hard and strive to make the ** Brigade a truly capable army."

When everyone heard Yang Yiming say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then Huang Dahu asked, "When will you leave at the occupant?"

"Let's go tomorrow, and you can all start in two days, so that time can be too late!"

Yang Yiming arranged many things for the rest of the time. On the second day, Yang Yiming took Lu Meng and several personal soldiers to board the train to Wuhan, and arrived in Wuhan and rushed to Chongqing.

A few days after Yang Yiming left, the war in Xuzhou suddenly became tense, and in these days the ** brigade also hurriedly set off. Then on March 29 (that nine days later than history), the Segu Detachment of the 10th Japanese Division advanced south to capture Lincheng, Zaozhuang, and Hanzhuang. After regardless of the 5th Division and the Nagse Detachment of the 10th Division were blocked from the attack on both sides, the army went deeper and advanced towards Taierzhuang, attempting to capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

Li Zongren was not afraid of danger, and Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Second Army, and Deng Xihou of the 22nd Army, led his troops to defend Taierzhuang. Tang Enbo, the commander of the 20th Army, led his troops to open the front of the Jinpu Railway and moved into Lanling and the Yungu Mountains in the northwest, luring the enemy into deep and waiting for the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

On April 2, the Japanese army marched south from Zaozhuang and fought with the guards and guards in Kangzhuang and Nigou areas on the north side of Taierzhuang. Starting from the fifth day, the Japanese army repeatedly attacked Taierzhuang and attacked many times. The second and 22nd Army of the defenders fought tenaciously and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army. The Fifth War Zone used the main force of the 20th Army to maneuver towards Taierzhuang, slam the enemy's side and back, and formed an internal and external attack with the Second and 22nd Army, and ordered the Third Army to advance to Lincheng, north of Zaozhuang, and cut off the enemy's rear.

In order to relieve the danger in Taierzhuang, the Japanese army quickly rushed from Linyi to assist the 5th Division Sakamoto Detachment from Linyi and advanced to the Qiuhu area north of Lanling. They were immediately surrounded by the 52nd Army of the 20th Army. On April 10, the Fifth War Zone launched a full-line counterattack, fought fiercely for four days, annihilated most of the Japanese Sega Detachment, with a unit of more than 10,000 people in the Sakamoto Detachment. The remaining Japanese remnants retreated to Shicheng and Zaozhuang on the 14th.

However, the Japanese army suffered a loss for a while, but they were able to judge the situation. In mid-April, the Japanese army changed to use some forces to restrain the opponent from the front, and the main force deviated westward, attempting to surround Xuzhou from the side and behind to annihilate the main force in the Fifth War Zone.

It was during these seven or eight days that Yang Yiming, Lu Meng and others had arrived in Wuhan. The Wuhan Economic and Political Center was more important in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes than Chongqing, but Chongqing was far away from the Japanese, so the position of the capital was indeed chosen as Chongqing.

It was mid-April and the Yangtze River was in a dry water area, but the ships passing through the Yangtze River were constantly transferring all the materials that could be transferred.

"Host, what should we do now?" asked Lu Meng beside him.

Lu Meng was a man from the north who came to the south for the first time. When he saw the ship on the river, he immediately felt seasick.

Seeing Lu Meng's appearance, Yang Yiming smiled and said, "Then let's not leave today, let's wait a few days before going to Chongqing!"

"Haha, you are so good at traveling. Wuhan City is big, it's much bigger than Xuzhou. If you can stay here for two days, it would be a better choice!"
