Chapter 233 The battle situation changes suddenly, go south to help Linhuai Pass!(1/2)
The next day, Ross Field brought good news.
His family has fully agreed with Yang Jing's request and has begun to recruit technical workers and engineers for Yang Jing in China.
Then, Yang Jing listed a list of materials needed by the Hu Ben Group now.
Ross Field just glanced at it, then made a decision to agree, and left excitedly.
In the afternoon, the foreigner came to Yang Jing again excitedly and said to him with excitement: "Captain Yang, the family has approved the review. The cargo ship will soon be from the United States and heading towards the Indian Ocean as you request.
It is expected to log in within two months!
In the next two months, people, equipment, and supplies will be delivered to your base!
But during this period, I think you should have to set up a base as soon as possible!”
"Well! This is natural!"
Yang Jing nodded with great satisfaction, and at the same time, he did not forget to instruct: "Please pay attention to confidentiality and not let more people know the specific content of our transaction, especially the National Government!"
Although Yang Jing believes that the old man and the senior leaders of the National Government should not dare to offend the Americans at this time.
But you are not afraid of ten thousand in everything, just fear of what if.
I am afraid that they will not dare to do so behind their backs.
Especially Boss Dai and his Military Control Commission are experts in this industry.
Therefore, the safest thing is to prevent them from knowing about this matter, so as to ensure equipment and materials, and to successfully arrive at the Huben Troupe base with technicians.
Ross Field naturally responded to Yang Jing's request, and immediately agreed.
…………
Two more days have passed.
Ross Field, Elena and his party left Xuzhou City during a grand farewell ceremony held by Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and others.
The Hu Ben Group was in a intensive training again.
Five days later, Yang Jing received a telegram from the War Zone Chief's Office and hurried to the city by car.
War Zone Chief Office Preparation Room.
A communications officer is reporting various war reports from the front line to the serious and worried Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng, and a group of senior combat staff members.
"Report!"
At this moment, a loud voice at the door interrupted the communications officer's report.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and found that the person coming was Yang Jing.
Bai Jiansheng hurriedly said, "Guest Yang, you are here just in time, come in quickly."
Yang Jing walked into the preparation room and saluted Li Delin. After Bai Jiansheng saluted, he asked, "I wonder if you are the commander to come, what are you doing?"
Bai Jiansheng said: "This is the thing. The situation is indeed as you expected by Consultant Yang. The Japanese army in China and China have been heading north and have launched a fierce attack on our Huaihe River defense line!
Especially Bengbu and Linhuai Pass were attacked by the elite Japanese forces!”
Bai Jiansheng gave a rough description of the current situation and the frontline battle with the fastest speaking speed.
"Among them, there are guards of the 21st Army and the 1st Army in Bengbu area, which is temporarily worry-free, but there is only one guard of the 31st Army in Linhuai Pass.
They were facing the 3rd Japanese Division, so the situation was extremely unoptimistic.”
Li Delin then spoke: "The most important thing now is not that the 31st Army cannot resist the invasion of the Japanese 3rd Division, but that the rest of the world is so tight that we have no soldiers to send.
You know the strategic position of Linhuai Pass. Consultant Yang has been a strategic location that must be fought for by military strategists since ancient times.
Once Linhuai Pass is captured, the entire Huaihe River defense line will be completely collapsed!
By then, the Japanese army in Central China and North China will be promoted north and south, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our entire Fifth War Zone will probably be trapped in the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army."
How could Yang Jing not understand what Bai Jiansheng and Li Delin meant? He wanted his Tiger Ben to act as a firefighting team to support Linhuai Pass to assist the 31st Army.
However, the new recruits from the Tiger Ben regiment have been training for almost half a month, so it is time to take them out for practical training.
In addition, with the 31st Army assisting, a mere 3rd Japanese Division was not taken seriously by him.
Especially at this time, the Tiger Ben Regiment not only strengthened its military strength, but also expanded its weapons and equipment directions.
The Krupp's 105mm caliber field cannon that was previously exposed also equipped the artillery battalion.
At this moment, Yang Jing volunteered: "Sir, if you believe in Huye, Huye is willing to lead the Hubei Group to Linhuai Pass!"
Li Delin was overjoyed and said, "This is really great! With Consultant Yang personally leading the Hu Ben Group to help, we can ensure that everything is safe in the Linhuai Pass defense line!
I am here to represent hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Fifth War Zone, thank you!”
As he said that, Li Delin actually bowed to Yang Jing.
In fact, he had no choice, otherwise, unless he had to, he would not have played out the ace of the Tiger Group.
Yang Jing was flattered and said hurriedly: "Sir, as a soldier, you should fight for the country and the people. These are all things that are humble!
Therefore, the chief’s thanks is really worthy of being a humble official!”
Then, Bai Jiansheng said: "Guester Yang, I don't know what you think about the next battle situation, so you might as well tell me."
Yang Jing held a baton and pointed to the battle map and said, "At present, the threat from the northern section of the Jinpu Railway is not worth worrying about for the time being.
What we need to be wary of is that the Japanese army will increase troops from Lianyungang and cooperate with the First Division to continue to advance west along the Longhai Railway Line and raid Xuzhou."
Bai Jiansheng nodded deeply.
Yang Jing said again: "In addition, we need to be particularly wary of the Japanese army in North China to mobilize troops to cross the Yellow River from the Puyang area south, attack Lanfeng, and then threaten the safety of our fifth war zone from the flanks!"
Yang Jing's concerns are not without reason, because in history, Kenji Doihara's 14th Division traveled south to the Puyang area, and the Lanfeng Battle broke out.
In the end, more than 100,000 troops lost to more than 20,000 Japanese troops, resulting in the defeat of the entire Xuzhou war situation.
After capturing Xuzhou, the Japanese invaders continued to advance west along the Longhai Line.
So much so that Zhengzhou is in danger and Wuhan is shocked!
In order to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward, the National Government decided to replace the army with water and ordered the opening of Huayuankou, the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, located 34 miles away from the northern suburbs of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.
The man-made Yellow River breaks and diverts the road, forming a large area of yellow flood, and indirectly triggering the tragic 1942 Henan famine.
Although, with Yang Jing's time travel, the 14th Division of the Japanese army had been almost wiped out by him in the Taierzhuang area, it is difficult to guarantee that the Japanese army would not dispatch other troops to attack Puyang.
Bai Jiansheng said: "Consultant Yang, Chief Li has reported to Wuhan regarding your concerns.
It also attracted the attention of the commander.
The commander has mobilized heavy troops to strengthen prevention in the Puyang and Lanfeng areas.”
Yang Jing nodded: "In this way, we just need to do our best to deal with the enemy on the southern line!"
…………
After returning to the garrison, Yang Jing immediately notified officers at the battalion level and held an emergency military meeting at the regiment command center.
Tell them that they are about to rush to Linhuai Pass and prepare them.
The next morning, before the start of the journey, Yang Jing held a oath-taking meeting for the entire regiment.
More than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment were fully armed and stood on the huge training camp ground, lined up in neat square formations in battalions and companies.
Yang Jing looked cold and handsome, and stood on the platform like a javelin. He held a high-power amplifier speaker in his hand. After glanced around with sharp eyes, he said aloud: "Brothers, the Japanese devils are ambitions, and the heart to destroy my Chinese will not die.
Although the northern crisis has been resolved, the Japanese army in Central China has advanced northward in a large-scale attempt to form a north-south advancing with the Japanese army in North China, and annihilate our fifth war zone in one fell swoop!
Today, the Huaihe River defense line is in urgent need of Linhuai Pass. I have received an order from the War Zone Chief Officer and will lead you south to help Linhuai Pass today!
To ensure the integrity of my Huaihe River defense line, to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of brother troops in my fifth war zone!”
The officers and soldiers present were in a strict lineup. Listening to Yang Jing's words carefully, they all showed a solemn face and a mighty aura all over their bodies.
Especially those veterans who have experienced the rest of their lives through bloody battles, they unconsciously exuded a murderous aura.
"Since the establishment of the number one Tiger Ben Group in the world, more than 10,000 soldiers have been sacrificed.
This time, the battlefield was cruel and bullets were not eye-catching, so casualties were inevitable! You, even me, may die in the country and bury their bones at any time!
My children from the Tiger Group, are you afraid?"
"The Tiger Group, the swords and seas of fire, fearless! Kill, kill!—"
"The Tiger Group, invincible battle, invincible attack! Kill, kill!—"
"The Tiger Group will destroy the enemy and restore our mountains and rivers! Kill, kill and kill!——"
Tens of thousands of soldiers had the same slogans, their morale was high, and their momentum was as loud as a group of tigers and wolves preparing to fight.
The Tiger Ben Group is now a world-renowned heroic army, with an elite army, and more than 40% of veterans are backbones.
So, there is no need to talk too much nonsense to boost morale.
"Very good! It's true that it's my Yang Jing, a soldier of my Tiger Ben!"
"Now, everyone has it. The troops set off and rushed to Linhuai Pass to kill the terrible Fujitajin, and wipe out the 3rd Japanese Division!"
Yang Jing waved his hand hard and shouted loudly.
