    Seeing that the crazy attack of the little devil was repelled, Lu Zhanwu, Zhang Hao and others were relieved. Although they had watched a good show, the madness of the little devil still surprised them.

    "Actually, everyone had looked down on the Japs a little bit before. The military commander said that the Japs soldiers in front of them were a bunch of soft persimmons, but that was a relative term. In fact, these Japs soldiers were not as bad as imagined.

    If most of the national army had suffered such a blow, I'm afraid they would have been defeated and dispersed long ago. However, this group of Japanese soldiers managed to survive without chaos. From this point alone, it is worthy of recognition.

    As soon as the Japanese troops withdrew, Lu Zhanwu immediately said: "Lao Zhang, continue to ask the troops at the front to report their losses"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard the combat staff on the side holding a telephone and shouting: "Report to the brigade, there is an urgent call from the front!"

    "What's wrong?"

    "Report: Report from the front, the first regiment and the first battalion suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, with 184 people killed and 177 injured. In addition, the battalion commander was killed and the deputy battalion commander was seriously injured. One of the three company commanders died and another was injured. Only Xin  The one who was promoted is still fine, please ask the brigade headquarters for reinforcements!"

    Zhang Hao lost his voice and said: "Brigade, we must reinforce a battalion, otherwise the whole battalion will be wiped out if this continues!"

    Lu Zhanwu immediately said: "No need. Counting the previous casualties, I'm afraid there won't be many people left in the first battalion. Immediately call the second battalion and ask them to replace the first battalion, and also withdraw the first battalion of the air defense regiment to avoid unnecessary damage."  suffered revenge from the little devil!"

    "yes!"

    Second line position. Second battalion command post.

    Since the soldiers and firepower of the Japs were not weak, Zhang Hao did not place all the main forces of the regiment in the first-line position, but only placed one main battalion, and the remaining troops were all placed in the second-line position behind the main position.  .

    It is not true that it is a position. It is just a few shallow trenches dug between the main position and the real second-line position, which can barely hide people. The real protection ability is very weak.

    When the First Battalion was fighting with the Japanese troops on the front line, the Second Battalion, Third Battalion and other troops were hiding here, ready to reinforce the front-line positions at any time.

    After receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, Second Battalion Commander Long Linghui immediately stood up and said: "Everyone, gather!"

    Following Long Linghui's order, more than 550 people from the Second Battalion quickly gathered, filling a trench that was as big as Nuo's.

    Standing in front of the crowd, Long Linghui said loudly: "We have just received an order from the brigade headquarters, asking us to take over the position of the 1st Battalion and replace the disabled 1st Battalion."

    "Yes!" A group of officers and soldiers shouted immediately.

    Then Long Linghui said loudly: "I have something to say to you before taking action. This may be the last time I have to talk to you. The first battalion commander died in the battle, and the first battalion was completely disabled. It will be our second battalion's turn soon.  We are on the battlefield, so I will tell you a few words from my heart."

    "People say that I, Long Linghui, am a fucking lunatic. He fights for his life and gets convulsed when he sees a kid. Even you fucking people say dirty things about me in private. I don't care about you. I know it's true.  why?"

    Without waiting for anyone to answer, Long Linghui said loudly: "Because I just hate the Japanese and want to eat their meat and drink their blood. I think I, Long Linghui, come from a well-known family. I graduated from Marshal Zhang's Northeastern Martial Arts Lecture School."  Tang. After graduation, he also served as the regimental deputy of the Fengtian Guard Brigade of the Northeast Army, but in the end he followed those bastards to the inside of the Pass and handed over the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains outside the Pass to the Japanese and 30 million compatriots.  Trapped in dire straits, including my biological father and mother."

    "As a soldier who is supposed to protect our family and country, I, Long Linghui, am deeply ashamed of myself and the Northeastern Army where I am for my inaction. After arriving in the pass, I followed other Northeastern Army brothers to fight against the Red Army under the order of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  Bandits, I have dealt with warlords and suppressed bandits, but I have never done anything with Japanese devils, I am so angry."

    "Later on, the number of troops became smaller and smaller, and my regiment's designation was revoked. Later, because I disobeyed the deployment, I was demoted from a colonel to a leading soldier. I almost died in Songjiang City, and then I followed the army to fight out.  until now."

    "I am telling you this just to tell you that a person's life is actually very short. Don't worry about trivial matters. Think more about the big picture and the people behind you. One day we will all die in battle.  Yes, someone will remember us."

    "The brigade commander just spoke. You are not allowed to take a step back. The whole battalion must defend the position even if it is fought to the last person. In addition, the brigade commander and the regiment commanderWe and the chief of staff are all ready for battle. As long as we can't stand it any longer, they will come up with guns and lead the radio operators, cooks, and grooms from the brigade headquarters.  Brothers, do we need them to come up?  "

    "No need! No need! No need!"

    "It's okay if you don't need it. Pack up the ammunition and get into position with me!" Long Linghui shouted loudly.

    "yes!"

    Following Long Linghui¡¯s order, the soldiers of the second battalion quickly passed through the traffic ditch and trotted to the front line.

    At this time, on the front line, the crippled battalion was busy repairing the fortifications, and even the bodies of the fallen brothers had no time to evacuate the position.

    After arriving at the front-line position, Long Linghui immediately ordered the brothers to immediately replace the brothers from the first battalion, and at the same time transferred some people to send the fallen brothers to the trenches of the right reserve position for temporary storage, and make arrangements until the battle is over.  .

    The Second Battalion had just finished its work, and before they had time to repair the dilapidated positions, they saw the Japanese troops gathering not far away.

    Seeing the densely packed Japanese soldiers, Long Linghui looked excited.

    Of all the troops in the country, which unit hates the Japs the most, it has to be the Northeastern Army. The reason is not only because only the Northeastern Army had a blood feud with the Japanese army before the war, but more importantly, because of the existence of the Japs, the honor of the Northeastern Army suffered.  To defile.

    Prior to this, the Northeastern Army was considered an honorary collective. Even in the early 1930s, the Northeastern Army's strength surpassed all the warlords in China, including the early Nationalist Government. It was difficult to match it.

    Marshal Zhang has been in the Northeast since the Guangxu period and has ruled the Northeast for 10 years. His power can be said to be deep-rooted, and the centripetal force between senior officers is obviously stronger than that of other warlords.

    The Northeast has not been affected by major wars for decades since the Russo-Japanese War. The society is relatively stable, the economy is developing rapidly, and the population is growing. The total mileage of railways exceeds more than half of the country. Relying on the rich coal and iron ore resources in the Northeast,  It has become the region with the highest level of industrialization in the country and its economic strength is strong.

    With such a strong family background, Lao Zhang first established a first-class modern military academy in the country, expanded the scale of the "Northeast Lecture Hall", one of the four major military academies in the Republic of China, hired European and American military experts, and cultivated military talents.

    Although Lao Zhang was born a bandit, his vision was much further than that of ordinary warlords. Other warlords imported most of their weapons, but Lao Zhang saw the importance of weapons and equipment and was one of the few local warlords who could solve the problem of weapons supply.

    Lao Zhang founded the Northeast Arsenal, one of the three major arsenals of the Republic of China, with a monthly output of 80 mortars, 40,000 artillery shells, 500 light machine guns, 30 heavy machine guns, and 4,000 rifles. It was enough to equip a division of the Northeast Army, as well as mountain artillery.  , heavy howitzer production capacity, solving the problems of equipment supply and army expansion, and the army's sustained combat capability is significantly stronger than that of other local warlords.

    When the Northeast Army was at its peak, it had an army of 400,000 men, a large number of light and heavy machine guns, field artillery of various calibers, and howitzers.  When the national army was training in 1935, there were only 500 artillery pieces in the country, and the Northeast Army had 200 guns.

    The Northeast Navy has 21 cruisers, destroyers, gunboats and other large and small ships, with a total of about 32,200 tons, and a fleet of 3,300 officers and soldiers.  At that time, there were only 42,000 tons of naval ships in the country and about 5,400 officers and men. This means that the total tonnage of the Northeast Navy accounted for 76.7% of the country's total, and the number of personnel accounted for 61% of the country's.

    The Northeast Army also has more than 300 air force fighters organized into 5 air fleets, most of which are advanced fighters imported from foreign countries.  Until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there were only 600 aircraft in the country, and the Northeast Army's air force could be regarded as unique.

    Such a large, well-equipped Northeastern Army with complete navy, land and air force was indeed a very powerful force in China at that time.  The Northeastern Army is far stronger than the loose Feng Yuxiang Northwest Army, the stingy Yan Xishan Shanxi-Sui Army, and the scattered Xingui Clique. It can compete with the Nationalist Government, which is not united internally, and is one of the most powerful factions in China.

    Such a powerful military force could even determine the direction of Chinese history. When the Central Plains War reached a stalemate, Chiang, Yan and Feng all tried their best to win over Zhang Xueliang. In the end, the Northeast Army entered the Pass to help Chiang. In one battle, Chiang's status as the leader was confirmed. Northeast China  The military's power also expanded to North China, but it also resulted in a relative lack of military strength in the Northeast.

    Of course, even in this case, only considering the strength of the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in the Northeast, if Marshal Zhang resists with all his strength, Japan will not be able to occupy the Northeast.  But no one expected that the young marshal would withdraw to the pass with 200,000 Northeastern troops without saying a word, turning the Northeastern Army into rootless duckweeds and making everyone in the Northeastern Army feel deeply humiliated.

    Knowing shame leads to courage. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Northeast Army had only one goal, which was to fight back to their hometown!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)m
