The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The first meeting between the two parties was very happy, and Zhang Handuo immediately hoped to meet the main officers of the regiment, which means that he has officially taken office.

But the brothers had a lot of trouble last night. Many of them were drunk and didn't wake up, and many of them didn't come back after arriving at the brothel. Yang Ling had to talk about the general's vacation.

"That's okay, you take me around to get acquainted with the situation." Zhang Handuo didn't blame him, and asked Yang Ling to take him to familiarize himself with the situation in the regiment.

But before they had even stepped out of the gate, the brigade's communications soldier rode over from a distance.

"Sir, the traveler has informed the division headquarters for a meeting."

Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling looked at each other, shook their heads with wry smiles, and immediately rushed to the headquarters of the 51st Division.

"Is there going to be a war?" Yang Ling asked Zhang Handuo tentatively.

Zhang Handuo replied: "I heard something on the way here. The front line in Xuzhou is very tense. I'm afraid we will be transferred."

When the two arrived at the division headquarters, they immediately felt the tense atmosphere of war. They didn't wait long in the meeting room, and all the main officers of the brigades and regiments of the 51st Division had already arrived.

Everyone was tossing hard last night, many of them still smelled of alcohol, but they all felt the atmosphere of war, they were all happy, gearing up for a big fight.

General Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division, was still in uniform. When he stepped into the conference room, all the officers stood at attention and saluted.

Master Wang Yaowu walked to the head of the long table and raised his hand to the standing brigades. The heads of the brigades pressed down: "Everyone, please sit down."

"Everyone, it takes a long time to raise troops for a thousand days. After a winter of training, we have become strong and strong again. Yesterday, we passed the review of the Supreme Military Commission and got excellent evaluations. But whether we are really effective in fighting, we still have to use real swords on the battlefield. Only after the actual shooting did I know that the battle in Xuzhou is tense now, and our 74th Army has received an order to go to the battlefield—"

General Wang Yaowu's tone revealed excitement. After all, Shanghai and Nanjing fought a cowardly battle. Now that they have been training for so long, they also hope to use this opportunity to show their anger.

Although the officers were sitting upright, everyone's face was very excited. They had long wanted to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. Now that they got the news of such a fight, they wished they could fly to the battlefield immediately.

"This time our 74th Army will be incorporated into Chief Xue Yue's Yudong Corps to fight on the Xuzhou battlefield."

Hearing that they will fight under the command of the "tiger cub" Xue Yue, they are even more excited. They are not afraid of the mighty Japanese army, but they are afraid of encountering a wimpy officer, and Xue Yue is their convincing, respectful, and worthy of their follow.

Seeing the excited officers, Commander Wang Yaowu coughed and said, "Don't be too happy too early. In addition to our 74th Army, General Huang Jie's 8th Army and General Song Xilian were incorporated into the Eastern Henan Corps this time. It’s not easy for us to achieve success with the 71st Army of the Chinese Army and the 27th Army of General Gui Yongqing.”

These armies are all elite troops of the direct line of the Central Army, and they have just finished training, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the 74th Army. Fighting for meat with these wolves made Yang Ling and other young officers feel competitive heart of.

"Master, since we established the army last September, we have fought so many vile battles, and we have never been afraid of anyone! This time we will also fight the enemy bravely! Win the first place!" Zhang Lingfu, the newly promoted deputy brigade commander of the 153rd brigade He opened his mouth soaringly.

"Okay!" The young officers all cheered loudly, and everyone's morale was high.

Text Chapter 355 Flame of War Burning

The news that the troops were about to go to the Xuzhou battlefield made every brother excited. They were gearing up and preparing to do a big job to avenge Shanghai and Nanjing.

The brothers have been training for a whole winter, and the various units of the Xuzhou friendly army have good news from time to time. Every good news will make them excited for several days, and now it is finally their turn. How can we not make people excited.

The 301st Regiment soon held a pre-war mobilization meeting. The new head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, gave an impassioned speech, repeating the atrocities of the Japanese army to the responsibility of the Chinese revolutionary soldiers to save the nation from peril, which made every brother's chest agitated. With blood and high morale.

The head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, finally asked Yang Ling, the deputy head of the regiment, to also say a few words. After all, Yang Ling took care of the training of the brothers, and he contributed a lot to the current appearance of the army.

Yang Ling's speech was as crisp as ever. After emphasizing some matters that should be paid attention to on the battlefield, he made some arrangements for the departure.

After Yang Ling's regiment's mobilization meeting ended, the brigade headquarters sent an order to move out at night. The sudden departure of more than 2000 brothers in the whole regiment made the troops busy quickly.

The effect of a winter training was quickly apparent. The troops were busy but not chaotic. The cooking squads of each battalion and company prepared five days of fried rice and salt for each brother, and put them all into dry food bags and hung them on their bodies.

The brothers also received enough bullets and grenades, and their bodies were covered with clothes. Some recruits bought a lot of gadgets with their military pay, but they were all thrown away by the patrolling battalion commander.

"What are you doing with so many things? We are fighting a war and not going on a blind date. Let me throw them away."

Most of the veterans have experienced the baptism of the hail of bullets. Naturally, they know that on the battlefield, apart from eating, drinking and ammunition, they can throw away everything they can, otherwise they will be a burden on the march. Everything is about saving their lives.

The veterans took the lead, their battlefield experience was invaluable, and the recruits had to throw away useless debris and be fully armed and ready to go.

The troops arrived at the train station in the evening, and at this moment the station was crowded with people, it was chaotic and noisy, and there were heavily armed soldiers everywhere.

The platform was also crowded with many people wearing civilian clothes, some people raised their arms and waved continuously, and some women were crying profusely.

Seeing the people seeing off on the platform, Zhang Hongying's figure inexplicably came to Yang Ling's mind. During their training in Wuhan, although they kept asking about Zhang Hongying's news, there was no news, and they didn't know where to train study.

In this turbulent era, sometimes some people will never see each other again once they are separated for a lifetime. Besides, Yang Ling and Zhang Hongying are still two units, so it is even more rare to meet each other. However, Yang Ling also took a deep breath. Let's talk about this battle.

"Brother Yang, do you think you are with the regiment headquarters or the third battalion?" Zhang Handuo, the head of the regiment, was wearing shiny military boots and a German-style steel helmet, looking energetic

Yang Ling answered thoughtfully, "Let's go with Sanying."

"Well, I'll send someone to inform you if there is something to do."

After a few more words with Yang Ling, the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, turned around and went straight to the regiment headquarters.

Although Yang Ling was the deputy head of the regiment, he was also the commander of the third battalion. Although he usually worked in the regiment headquarters, but now that there was a war, he hoped to act with the third battalion so that he could command the battle more easily.

"The 301st Regiment boarded the train, the 301st Regiment boarded the train!" The order to board the train quickly came from the station's broadcast loudspeaker.

More than 301 brothers from the 2000st regiment quickly boarded the military ranks under the guidance of the guides according to the arrangement of each battalion.

"Damn it, it stinks to death." Captain Liu Yidao had just been pulled into the stuffy tank compartment, and he almost vomited due to a stench mixed with blood.

During the training period, they served delicious food and drinks, and washed clothes and bathed on time according to the army regulations. The brothers became more hygienic. Now they were suddenly thrown into this smelly and dirty stewing tank car, and they felt extremely uncomfortable. do not adapt.

"Just save yourself, the hard days are yet to come." The deputy battalion commander, Old Smoker, didn't care, found some hay and sat down against the carriage.

Most of the recruits were added to the army during the winter training. Now they board the train and go to the front to fight the devils. They are excited and worried. The veterans don't care. After so many years on the battlefield, they have long been indifferent to life and death. , As long as you can survive, you are stronger than anything else.

With a bang, the heavy iron door of the carriage was pulled shut, and the interior of the carriage suddenly became dark. It was not known whether it was getting dark or the sunlight was blocked by the iron gate.

The train full of soldiers drove out of the train station with a long howl, and the newly arrived troops quickly filled the gap in the station.

"Medical officer Zhang, the control room told us to board the train at eight o'clock tomorrow." A female soldier wearing a red cross armband reported to Zhang Hongying.

After a winter of intensive learning and training, Zhang Hongying has become a doctor's assistant. She is no longer a medical soldier who can only deal with simple wounds. This time she is also going to the front line with the army.

"Have you heard any news about the 74th Army?" Zhang Hongying asked.

The female soldier replied: "The dispatch room said that the 74th Army drove away some, and I will order some tomorrow."

Looking at the messy station, Zhang Hongying didn't see the number of Yang Ling's unit. She pulled the medicine box in frustration and said, "Let's stay at the station guest house for a night."

Yang Ling didn't know that if he took a step slower, he could see Zhang Hongying, but they didn't know it, they had already passed each other at the station.

The military train that Yang Ling was in was very fast, and he had already left Hubei and entered Henan the next morning, but staying in the stuffy tank compartment felt the same.

The speed of the train slowed down significantly when it entered the territory of Henan. This is the site of the first war zone, which is next to the fifth war zone where the war is burning.

The Japanese army aviation and naval aviation sent countless bombers to bombard everywhere, causing many important cities and train lines to be bombed, and the train had to stop and go.

Fortunately, the headquarters of the first war zone has been sending engineers and railway workers to repair the line, which saved Yang Ling and the others from going to the battlefield on foot.
