    "Are you really from the 122nd Division?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "Reporting to the commander, it is indeed from the Sichuan Army. It is correct!" Li Weibing said immediately.

    "Then why did you end up living in Shen County and create a Ninth Route Army?"

    "Sir, the matter has to start with the defense battle of Teng County. On the 17th, the division judged based on the fact that there were no friendly gunshots from Duzuo Mountain. The friendly forces may have been defeated. In addition, the little Japanese used field artillery and aircraft to attack the enemy in the early morning.  Fierce attacks continued until noon, and the enemy infantry repeatedly climbed onto the city wall at several gaps in the city wall and was repulsed. The division commander decided to resist with all his strength to repay the country and repay the good fortune."

    Li Weibing continued: "In the afternoon, the Japanese army used more than 20 bombers to cooperate with their infantry to attack the city. When the enemy infantry climbed through the gap opened in the south city wall to attack the city, although they were killed in large numbers, hundreds of enemies finally rushed into the city.  , that is, they engaged in hand-to-hand melee combat with bayonets and grenades. After the division commander and the counselor were martyred, the deputy division commander used the cover of night to break out from the north gate of Teng County with his remaining troops, and withdrew together with the defenders in the Puyang Mountain area.  Xiang Xuzhou, we are also among this group of people."

    "However, after the troops left the city, they were immediately pursued by the Japanese army. The deputy commanding officer ordered the remaining more than 100 people from the division's guard battalion and some staff members to retreat. Although the mission was completed, we also lost contact with the large troops. In the end, we made seven turns and eight turns.  He actually came to Yanggu County and was taken in by Boss Niu. I didn¡¯t expect that it would already be two years ago.¡±

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "You are all good, and you have set an example for us Chinese soldiers!"

    Then Li Guoyao asked: "Who gave the name Ninth Route Army? Why does it sound so awkward? It seems to be deliberately trying to overpower the Eighth Route Army?"

    At this time Niu Chenggen said hurriedly: "It was caused by me. I was a long-time employee of Zhu Laoba's family, a big landowner in Shen County. Later, the bastard son of Zhu Laoba's family bullied my daughter-in-law and forced her to commit suicide by jumping into a well. So I  I led my brothers to kill that bastard and then escaped from Zhujiazhuang. But I didn¡¯t want to be a bandit, so I led my brothers to specifically target the Japanese and the Japanese. I really couldn¡¯t think of what to call them at first. I heard that the Eighth Route Army  It¡¯s quite powerful. I thought we would be more powerful than the Eighth Route Army in the future, so I gave it the name Ninth Route Army!¡±

    "Haha, you guys know how to take advantage!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Okay, now that we know that we are not little devils, let's let this matter go. Think about what I just said. If you are willing to follow me, Li Guoyao, to fight the devils, I welcome you. If you are not willing,  , for the sake of the Sichuan Legion, I will take people away immediately, how can I choose to give you a happy word!"

    Niu Chenggen and Li Weibing looked at each other, and then said: "Let us discuss it for a while, whether we win or not!"

    ¡°Go ahead, I¡¯ll give you ten minutes!¡± After saying that, Li Guoyao turned the horse¡¯s head and left directly!

    Within a few minutes, the Ninth Route Army made a decision and they agreed to follow Li Guoyao to fight the Japanese.

    Soon, under Niu Chenggen¡¯s order, all the soldiers of the Ninth Route Army came out of Zhuangzi and lined up in front of Zhuangzi!

    Looking at the ragged team of more than 200 people in front of him, Li Guoyao was quite shocked. You must know that they are not regular troops or bandits, but self-organized anti-Japanese armed forces.

    None of them have military pay, no logistical support, and even no pension after death.

    But even so, they did not compromise with the Japanese. Even when they passed through Dongduzhuang Town, there were more than a thousand people, and everyone was wearing Japanese military uniforms and their weapons and equipment were very sophisticated. This small force still  Dare to take the initiative to open fire, it is indeed admirable.

    Especially when he saw the soldiers still wearing gray military uniforms, Li Guoyao felt a little sore in his nose, and a picture suddenly emerged in his mind - Sichuan military children.

    That was a photo that Li Guoyao saw in the National Military Museum in his previous life. The protagonist in the photo was a Sichuan doll wearing a tattered military uniform and straw sandals, heading to the anti-Japanese battlefield with an old-fashioned Hanyang made on his back.

    Perhaps the Sichuan Army¡¯s combat effectiveness was limited, but its military ambition should not be underestimated. The day after the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, Sichuan King Liu Xiang immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to join the war.  At the same time, a telegram was sent to the whole country, calling for a unified resistance to Japan and loudly stating: "In the war of resistance, Sichuan can send 300,000 troops, provide 5 million strong men, and provide tens of thousands of shi of food."

    Of course, the Sichuan Army was not favored by people when it came out of Sichuan. At that time, people from all walks of life generally believed that it was China's "bad army" at that time because the Sichuan Army was poorly equipped and lacked ammunition, supplies and medical equipment. When fighting in Shanxi in the winter, the soldiers wore  Or straw sandals.

    ¡°However, it was such a unit that made countless arduous and tragic sacrifices during the War of Resistance.?The Chinese nation has made great contributions to the cause of national independence.

    This is not a boast, but a real achievement.  For example, the Yang Sen Division of the 2nd Army was infamous during the Civil War. It was the first Sichuan Army to enter Sichuan during the Anti-Japanese War. Starting from the Battle of Songhu, it served everywhere. It was the backbone of the three battles of Changsha and served in the Third Battle of Changsha.  In the Battle of Kageyama, the Kato Battalion of the 9th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was completely wiped out.

    The 26th Division of the Sichuan Army participated in the Battle of Songhu. It was one of the five divisions with the best results and had more than 4,000 officers and soldiers. When it withdrew from the battlefield, only more than 600 people remained, with more than 85 casualties.

    During the Battle of Nanjing, the 21st Army of the Sichuan Army defended the southern front. Among them, the 145th Division defended Guangde. Under the siege of the superior enemy, the position was lost. Division Commander Rao Guohua resolutely led the remaining battalion into the enemy's position in an attempt to restore the position.  In the end, he was outnumbered and trapped in a tight siege, with no ammunition and reinforcements. The general did not want to be a prisoner, so he shot himself with a gun and died for his country. Guo Xunqi, the commander of the 144th Division, was also seriously injured in the battle.

    The 22nd Army was incorporated into Li Zongren's Miscellaneous Army Theater at the end of 1937 and participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang. Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 122nd Division, was ordered to garrison Tengxian County. The fifth division of Seishiro Itagaki, the main force of the Japanese army, attacked Tengxian County fiercely and bombarded it with heavy artillery and aircraft.  After destroying the city wall, Commander Wang personally directed the street fighting. Unfortunately, he was shot by a machine gun and died heroically.  After Commander Wang died for his country, the officers and soldiers of his unit resisted layer by layer. When the battle was over, the wounded soldiers in the city did not want to be prisoners, so they used grenades to kill the enemy who rushed in.

    In the battle of Teng County, almost all the more than 5,000 men of the 122nd Division were killed or injured.  The Chenli Division of the 131st Division, which was deployed in the Jiehe and Longshan belts north of Teng County, also suffered four to five thousand casualties.  There are winners and losers in battles, but there is no shame.  In a strict military sense, it was the Sichuan Army's huge sacrifice that won the victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang. Even Commander Li once said with tears: "The Sichuan Army was outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered, and they did not hesitate to make heavy sacrifices to prevent the enemy from moving south and complete the combat mission.  , wrote a glorious page in the history of the Sichuan Army."

    ¡°The Sichuan Army cannot be compared with the Kuomintang Central Army in terms of equipment, military quality, and troop treatment.  However, during the Anti-Japanese War, this unit used its fearless sacrifice to gain the reputation of "the Sichuan Army can fight" and "no army can be formed without Sichuan".

    In the past few decades of civil war, some of them may have done bad things, even unjust things, and the vast majority of them did not have a high level of education and could not speak a lot of truth.

    It is difficult for them to have the understanding of the relationship between personal interests and national interests that some "rational elites" do today. In troubled times, they may feel less about the concept of "country" and more about "big and small"  Marshal".  From the moment they form an army, such a unit is actually just someone's personal guard.

    Personally speaking, they may have never felt what the "country" has done to them, but they know that "fighting the civil war" is a great shame for soldiers. They may have roamed the countryside and preyed on the people, but only after they devoted themselves to  During the Great Patriotic War, when they devoted themselves to the struggle to safeguard the country's territorial integrity and defend national independence, they truly realized the mission and honor of a soldier. Only in the struggle for national independence and freedom did the fire-like passion in their bodies be destroyed.  Wake up and burst out like a volcano.

    Seeing these Sichuan soldiers and the spontaneously organized peasant anti-Japanese army, Li Guoyao couldn't help but feel excited.

    China is the China of the Chinese people. A mere Japanese Japanese pirate dares to peek at our Chinese artifact. As long as there are people who are willing to sacrifice for the country and nation, China will not fall.

    And he was very glad to be here in person today to welcome these heroes. I believe that with these people here, they can carry forward the glorious tradition and supreme fighting spirit of the Iron Blood Sichuan Legion in the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
