I really came here to fight against Japan

You still want to tell us that the Chinese army has so many artillery shells that they can’t use them all up?

When the shells really hit their heads, the Japanese's despair reached its peak.

They collapsed and stood up, running and jumping to avoid the explosion of the shells.

There were also Japanese soldiers who wanted to fight the Chinese army to the death and stood up from their bunkers.

They wanted to launch a counterattack and were ready to fight with bayonets with the soldiers of the Third Squadron.

The Japanese soldiers who were standing up were much easier to fight than those who were lying down, which resulted in the shelling being very effective.

At this time, good news came again. The third team made a new discovery while cleaning the battlefield.

In the area where the Japanese army encountered a minefield, there was a group of Japanese soldiers whose bodies looked very strange.

The Japanese soldiers were like a stack of people, with more than ten of them lying together, as if they were protecting something.

When they moved the bodies of the Japanese soldiers away, they discovered that what was lying under them was the Japanese regimental flag.

The 14th Division of the Japanese Army was a Type A division, with two brigades under its command.

They have a total of six infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, and now all seven regiment flags are here.

The 14th Division of the old Japanese general Kenji was almost surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army in the early battles and suffered heavy losses.

He was also afraid that his regiment's flag would be lost, so he was particularly careful when he went to Shandong to fight this time.

He specifically asked his squadron commanders to collect all the squadron flags.

They are all kept in his division headquarters so that he can feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, they fell into an ambush by the Third Detachment. The Japanese soldiers in the flag guard squadron were killed by the exploding artillery shells before they could destroy the regiment flag.

The seven Japanese regimental flags made Song Wenwan and Commander Fan jealous and their hearts beat fast.

Song was warm and generous, and gave the credit for defeating the fat man to Commander Fan.

He was also given the credit for three more company flags, which moved Commander Fan so much that he burst into tears.

Song Wenwan had won a great victory in Daerzhuang and captured eight regimental flags of the Japanese army. He no longer cared about these flags.

Commander Fan said enviously: "Commander Song, if you consider your achievements in the war against Japan, you are incredible!

Including the battle in Daerzhuang and today, you have directly wiped out nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers.

There are four generals alone, so there must be dozens of lieutenants, right?

And there are the Japanese regimental flags, which other troops have never seen before, but you have seized fifteen of them.

This is equivalent to directly destroying the numbers of the Japanese's fifteen regiments.

It's a pity that those jealous bastards above don't know how to make use of you.

They even banished you to this remote mountain valley. You deserve the loss of their own troops and generals."

Song Wenwan was also at a loss as to what to do. She had originally wanted to develop things in a low-key manner, but now she was being directly ignored.

But don't think this will be a problem for him, as he can just go to Shanxi and develop with the Eighth Route Army.

Now he has a good relationship with the Sichuan Army. Imagine if there were three million Sichuan Army troops entering Gansu from Sichuan, and then entering Shaanxi from Gansu.

When they crossed the Yellow River from Shaanxi and entered Shanxi, hehehehe...

It’s scary enough to think about it now. I’m afraid that the commander of the Second War Zone will have to be replaced by then.

I know my own strength. I am definitely a rich man with guns and food.

Four Gansu Army guerrilla detachments, plus an artillery marine brigade and an artillery regiment, totaled 60,000 troops.

There are also Deng Beihou's three Sichuan Army divisions, with more than 30,000 men. There will definitely be no problem for them to work together to protect themselves in Shanxi.

After the Battle of Wuhan is over this year, he will return to Gansu.

One is his wife and children, whom he hasn’t seen for more than a year.

Another thing is to see how Suo Wuxing has done with his airport.

Time is running out, and the Xigan Air Force must be put on the agenda.

When he returns to Shanxi, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone will probably be replaced.

That afternoon, they received new information about the Japanese army.

After Division Commander Fan found out, he rushed over and asked, "Commander Song, I heard that the Japanese Fourth Division has moved?"

Almost six hours had passed since Tu Feiyuan sent the distress telegram.

There are forces close to Heisongkou that can quickly support Tu Feiyuan.

There was only the Japanese 4th Division stationed near Jiaozuo.

Looking at the worried-looking Commander Fan, Song Wenwan handed the information in her hand to him.

Teacher Fan looked down and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Huh?" The more he read the content, the more confused he became.

"After receiving the order from the Central China Expeditionary Force to attack Shandong, the Japanese Fourth Division chose to remain in place.

The newly formed 27th Division of Japan has recently arrived near Jiaozuo to take over the defense area of ​​the 4th Division.

Commander Fan said, "Does this mean that the Japanese troops gathered near Jiaozuo have three divisions with a total of more than 70,000 troops?"

Song Wenwan said: "There are less than 50,000 people left, including two newly formed divisions of the Japanese.

The Japanese Fourth Division came out four hours ago."

Commander Fan asked nervously, "Are they coming to rescue the 14th Division? How should we respond?"

Song Wenwan drew a line on the map with her finger and said, "No need to deal with it, because the Fourth Division takes this route..."

Yes, the Japanese Army's 4th Division set out within half an hour after learning that Doihara had been attacked.

They didn't even say hello to the 27th Division who came to relieve guard.

He hurriedly responded to the call of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force and rushed to the Shandong battlefield to encircle and annihilate Song Wenwan.

The commander of the Japanese Army's 4th Division knew very well how arrogant and conceited Dohyo was.

He took more than 10,000 people to Shandong and was able to send back telegrams asking for help, which shows that he encountered a large force of the National Army.

Now in the two provinces of Henan and Shandong, even if all the regular troops of the National Army were added together, they would probably not be able to stop the fat man.

Perhaps the only person who could pose a threat to the 14th Division is the missing Song Wenwan.

I heard that he has more than 60,000 men under his command, and they are the main force to annihilate Hasegawa.

With this judgment, Fatty is in great danger this time.

In his opinion, Jiaozuo was no longer safe, so he decided to avoid Song Wenwan's main force.

He had to take a detour to the Shandong battlefield. As long as he joined up with the large force there, he would be much safer.

So no matter how the expeditionary force tried to contact him, he maintained radio silence and refused to contact the expeditionary force headquarters.

In the end, there was no other choice but to send the Central China Expeditionary Force to the Air Force to search for their whereabouts.

Finally, the 4th Division was stopped by using machine gun fire from planes.

Only then was an airdrop order given to the 4th Division, asking them to turn on the radio.

By the time the Japanese headquarters contacted them, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

At that time, there were few people left alive in the 26th Division who were ordered to leave Jiaozuo to rescue Tu Feiyuan.

As for the Fourth Division, this is what Song Wenwan thought about why it had such a weird and outrageous operation.

“The business philosophy is to make money. With Song Wenwan’s legendary strength, the Fourth Division will not go directly there.

Even if they could defeat the National Army in the past, the 4th Division would lose at least one-third of its men.

This result is a loss-making deal for them.

The 4th Division will not do this kind of business which is obviously a losing business.

So this is why they ran to Shandong even though they knew the 4th Division would be in danger. "
