At the same time, it is also the main force of the 14th Brigade of the 5th Division of the Fourth Route Army and a solid base for the local anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Hubei, as well as the bridgehead for the southbound detachment of the 18th Group Army to march into Hunan and Guangdong.

The three forces are intertwined.

"The 27th Division of the Japanese Army was originally responsible for attacking here, but it was severely beaten by Xue Yue." Meng Shaoyuan knew the situation here very clearly from Ruan Yiquan: "The Battle of Wuhan ended, and the 27th Division returned to Tianjin at the end of November. Details

The defense of the enemy has been handed over to the 9th Division, and what we are going to pass in a moment is the defense area of ​​the 36th Infantry Regiment."

"Meng, no, Charles, I'm curious, are you really not afraid at all when facing the Japanese?" Sophia still couldn't help but raise her doubts: "I know, Japan is offering a bounty on your head.

, I have never dreamed of catching you, but you just walked through the Japanese defense zone so arrogantly, if something happens, you have no chance to escape."

"I have the American flag as cover." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the American flag on the front of the car while driving: "Americans are good at it. They are good in front of the Chinese, and they are just as good in front of the Japanese."

In front, a Japanese sentry has appeared.

A Japanese soldier holding a bayonet kept waving towards this place, indicating to stop and inspect.

Meng Shaoyuan stopped the car smoothly, rolled down the window, took out his ID and handed it over, and said in standard Japanese: "We are from the Washington Herald and have been invited to attend the Wuhan Goodwill Conference."

The sentry checked the ID carefully, looked inside the car, and returned the ID: "Get out of the car and follow us."

"Hey, we are Americans." Sofia immediately protested loudly: "We came at your invitation, and you have no right to detain us."

The attitude of the Japanese soldier was quite good. Meng Shaoyuan translated and said, "I don't care who you are. I am ordered by the commander of the regiment. You must get off the car and go to the regiment headquarters for inspection!"

"Sofia, do what they say." Meng Shaoyuan opened the door and got out of the car: "We can do what you say, but you must abide by international law. The identity of journalists is sacred and we must be treated well."

"Get off the bus, everyone get off the bus." The Japanese soldier called to his companions: "Take them to the headquarters. This is the person the commander of the regiment wants."
