Chairman Chiang had just finished speaking, but Wang Shihe said astonishingly: "Commissioner, Qiongzhong City was not lost, not because the 11th Security Regiment blocked the Japs, but because a mysterious reinforcements appeared in time and fought outside the city.

In one fell swoop, we defeated the Japanese troops attacking the city and solved the siege of Qiongzhong."

"Mysterious reinforcements?" Chairman Chiang was shocked when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he asked confused: "Don't we only have the Fifth Security Brigade and a few recruit battalions in Hainan? Where did this reinforcements come from?

Is it the guerrillas of the Communist Party of China?"

"It is not a guerrilla force of the Communist Party. According to the intelligence report of the Qiongzhong Branch of the Military Command, the unit that promptly rescued Qiongzhong City claimed to be the Wuzhishan Dúlì Battalion of the Communist Party of China, and the battalion commander named Yi Zhenhua was the leader." Wang Shihe replied.

"Wuzhishan dú lì camp? Yi Zhenhua?" Chairman Chiang said in surprise: "It is a bandit armed force, but a bandit armed force, how can its fighting power be so strong? It can actually defeat the fighting force in one fell swoop.

A powerful rì bandit?"

"Yes, according to reports from intelligence personnel, this dú lì battalion not only defeated the Japanese troops attacking the city, but also took advantage of the situation to pursue them and almost killed them all! It achieved the greatest victory since the outbreak of the Hainan Defense War!"

Wang Shihe nodded in agreement.

Chairman Chiang frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, please immediately ask the staff to draft a commendation order and send it directly to the 11th Security Regiment to formally award the Wuzhishan Dú lì Battalion National Revolutionary Army Army Commander.

The designation of the Yawei garrison will be awarded to Yi Zhenhua with the rank of lieutenant colonel of the National Revolutionary Army, and all other officers and soldiers will be awarded the official military rank. In addition, let our intelligence personnel secretly find out the details of Yi Zhenhua and his dú lì battalion."

"Yes, commission!" Wang Shihe bowed his head in response, then raised his head and said, "But commission, the intelligence officer also said in the telegram that Yi Zhenhua has begun mobilizing the people in Qiongzhong City to evacuate."

"Are they planning to retreat?" Chairman Chiang turned his head in surprise and looked at the giant battle map behind him, then turned back and said in confusion: "Given the current situation in Hainan, where can they retreat? To the mountains?"

"However, if they don't retreat, I'm afraid they won't be able to defend Qiongzhong City. According to reports from our intelligence personnel in Qiongbei and Qiongnan, both the northern and southern Japanese armies are gathering forces to march towards Qiongzhong. It seems that they are going to force iron

We are determined to capture Qiongzhong." Wang Shihe said.

"With Japan's character, if we just suffered such a big loss in Qiongzhong City, we will definitely retaliate wildly!" Chairman Chiang said after saying this: "Well, no matter what, we can't do it in Qiongzhong City.

Even if we win a battle, this is after all the first victory in the entire Hainan War against Japan. We must publicize it and inform the general public of the results, so that they know that we did not flee without a fight, nor did we take the initiative to abandon the defense of Hainan.

"

"What about the evacuation of soldiers and civilians from Qiongzhong City?" Wang Shihe asked tentatively.

"Leave it to the 11th Security Regiment. Anyway, they have won a victory in the defense battle of Qiongzhong City." Chairman Jiang did not finish what he said, nor did he say it thoroughly.

But Wang Shihe already understood that the victory of the Qiongzhong Defense War was enough face-saving propaganda for the national government. As for the 11th Security Regiment and Yi Zhenhua and his dú lì battalion who had made great contributions, their

The way forward and life and death are already important to the national government.

They were originally chess pieces that were going to be abandoned. Now that they have played their due role and brought some unexpected gains, it is time to go out.

It’s not that the national government has no conscience, nor is Chairman Chiang’s heartless, because they are beyond their reach and have more than enough will and power. With the current situation of the national government, they are simply unable to help the Hainan war situation.

Chairman Chiang, who has already been satisfied with the extra gains brought by the dú lì Battalion and the 11th Security Regiment, has no extravagant expectations that they can bring him any more miracles or surprises. As for awarding Yi Zhenhua and the dú lì Battalion

Order, that is what must be done, as a necessary means to win over people's hearts and consolidate one's reputation.

……………………

In Qiongzhong County, after repelling the incoming Japanese planes, Yi Zhenhua hurriedly left the city with worries. The Japanese planes had already attacked, which meant that their ground troops must be rushing towards Qiongzhong.

.

Looking back at the long and winding line of people evacuating, Yi Zhenhua couldn't help frowning. The evacuation of tens of thousands of people was quite slow. He couldn't just sit back and wait for the Japanese to attack. He couldn't let them march at full speed so smoothly. He had to block it.

Let’s look at the marching speed of the Japanese army.

After buying more time for the people to evacuate, Yi Zhenhua immediately sent people to invite Hu Baiyang and Li Shufeng over. Now they are the only two battalion-level officers in the 11th Security Regiment.

, the regiment leader Liu Yuntian has been killed in action, so the current 11th Security Regiment is basically decided by Hu and Li.

Before Yi Zhenhua could tell Hu Baiyang and Li Shufeng his thoughts, Li Shufeng happily congratulated Yi Zhenhua, and then said with a smile: "Brother Yi, congratulations, our regiment's radio station

, I have just received a commendation order from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. The telegram specifically grants you the regular designation of the Qiongya Garrison Camp of the National Revolutionary Army. Your brother has also been officially awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel of the National Revolutionary Army." (Because of security.

The 11th Regiment is the backbone of the Hainan garrison, so Liu Yuntian's regiment headquarters is equipped with a low-power radio.)

"Oh? Garrison camp?" Yi Zhenhua was slightly startled. Damn it, is this a salted fish turning around, an old hen turning into a phoenix? In the blink of an eye, he, the fake lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the National Revolutionary Army, and the fictitious dú lì camp

Has the serial number become a genuine product?

I'm very happy, after all, Baldy Jiang has given us a formal status, so we don't have to pretend to replace him if we expand the army in the future. But we still have to survive the current crisis.

Otherwise, his purpose of attracting tens of thousands of people in Qiongzhong City to develop the foundation for his base will not be achieved, and tens of thousands of innocent lives will be killed. I am afraid that by then he will have to transform from a newly promoted anti-Japanese hero.

He has become a national sinner.

Pretending to be grateful, he turned around and saluted the north with a military salute: "Thank you for your appointment!" After that, Yi Zhenhua immediately told Li Shufeng and Hu Baiyang that he wanted to lead his troops to take the initiative to slow down the Japanese army's advance and let them stay.

The idea of ​​​​continuing to build a position next.

Although the two thought Yi Zhenhua was a bit risky, they still nodded and agreed to Yi Zhenhua's idea under Yi Zhenhua's insistence.

In the end, Yi Zhenhua left behind six armed mining trucks to prevent another attack by Japanese military planes. He took the remaining four mining trucks and led Haoyue, Zhao Daquan and dozens of garrison soldiers to the north quickly along the highway.

On the dirt road leading to Qiongzhong City, the 2nd Infantry Brigade under the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and a tank search squadron directly under the brigade headquarters were heading toward the city in a mighty and aggressive manner along the road.

Heading towards Qiongzhong County at full speed.

Suddenly, a warning signal came from the vanguard squad in front. Looking at the signal flare that had risen to high altitude, Major Saburo Akikuma, captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, said to Captain Kobayashi of the tank search squadron: "Mr. Kobayashi, this is

The advance warning signal from the vanguard squad may indicate traces of the China Army ahead."

"This place is no less than thirty miles away from Qiongzhong County. How come there are Chinese troops there? Are there some broken Chinese troops who were dispersed by the imperial army?" Captain Xiaolin asked doubtfully.

"Mr. Xiaolin, no matter what the origin of the Chinese people in front of you is, please lead the tank search squadron to search and advance in front. If you encounter resistance, destroy them on the spot!" Akikuma Saburo said in a vicious cold voice.

"Well, please rest assured, Mr. Qiu Xiong, no one can stop the advance of the invincible chariot of the Imperial Army of Japan!" Captain Xiaolin said with confidence.

After saying that, Captain Xiaolin boarded a Type 95 light tank chariot, led his tank detachment, and rushed forward without hesitation, rumbling towards the front as if he was dead.

Saburo Akikuma led the infantry to follow up at full speed.

When Captain Xiaolin led the troops to gallop forward for about five or six miles, and gradually distanced themselves from the following infantry units, and came to a woods, Captain Xiaolin was surprised to find that on the road in the middle of the woods, ten people were lying in various directions.

The bodies of several Imperial Army soldiers.

Captain Xiaolin stood up from the chariot, exposed himself, picked up the telescope and looked forward. Through the telescope, he could clearly see the tragic death of the imperial soldiers on the ground. Some people's bodies were pierced by powerful bullets, and some were pierced by powerful bullets.

People's heads were smashed, some people were directly broken at the waist, and some were directly beaten into pieces of flesh. Their arms and legs were scattered on the ground, and the bright red blood dyed the ground red.

At this moment, Captain Xiaolin wanted to sit back in the tank and continue to lead his troops forward. There was a muffled "pop" sound, and a high-speed rotating bullet accurately hit his head. The bullet penetrated his head.

Half of his head was smashed into pieces, and the red and white mixture and broken bones exploded like a watermelon.

"Brothers, beat me hard!" Captain Xiaolin tilted his head and fell into the tank. At the same time, Yi Zhenhua's roar rang out in the woods.
Chapter completed!
