The 4th Division of the Japanese Army in Osaka, also known as the "Merchant" Division, gives people the impression that it is vulnerable to attack, and the A Division is the most scummy in combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army, and there are many ridiculous jokes on the battlefield.

Most of the generals of the Japanese Army's Division A disliked this division and disdained to fight with them, and even the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army was crazy about this bastard division.

Watanabe Mitsuo knew what the 4th Division was, and he was afraid that this unit would lose its chain at a critical moment, so he suggested that the 4th Division should respond as a second-line force.

Shouichi Terauchi used to be the commander of the 4th Division, and he knew very well how strong this unit's real combat effectiveness was, but the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division were very good at playing tricks and trying every means to avoid war.

The 4th Division did do some things that disgraced the Japanese army, but then again, how could it be a "waste" division if it could be a Class A unit?

Most of the divisions are backbone veterans with rich combat experience, and their commanders are good at battlefield analysis, rich in strategy and tactics, and are definitely the top elite troops in the Japanese army invading China.

Don't look at the 5th Division, and the 10th Division has a brilliant record on the battlefield, if you really want to talk about the 4th Division, this unit has the same brilliant achievements.

The real combat effectiveness of the 4th Division is very fierce, and I am afraid that the 5th Division and the 10th Division are really not the opponents of the 4th Division in Osaka.

Terauchi Shouichi thought about it carefully for a while, and he also felt that it was very inappropriate to let the 4th Division serve as the main attack, after all, the battle of Taierzhuang was related to the battle situation in Xuzhou.

Immediately, Terauchi changed the telegram order according to the reminder of the chief of staff, Watanabe Mitsuo, and he changed the 4th Division from the main attack force to the response force.

The Japanese army stepped up preparations for the battle against Taierzhuang, and the 10th and 5th Divisions were resting, waiting for the subordinate departments to be rebuilt, and then approaching Taierzhuang.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army, as soon as it received the battle order, began to prepare for "grinding foreign workers" in a disobedient manner, and the 4th Osaka Division deliberately delayed the speed of the march, which did not look at all like a unit that was going to fight.

……

The dark clouds of a big battle have enveloped Taierzhuang, and the war over there is about to break out at any time.

Li Hong's security regiment has suffered some casualties and losses due to the battle of Nanguan County, and at present, the security regiment has not received any combat missions and is resting in Nanfeng Town.

Early in the morning, Li Hong took his subordinates to patrol around the town.

Nanfeng Town is a small town with a small population, but now this town has gathered more than 1,000 refugees at once.

Li Hong walked around the streets, and everywhere he saw civilians sleeping on the streets, shivering in tattered clothes.

These civilians are refugees displaced by the war and have no homes to live on.

Li Hong glanced at the refugees around him, frowned and asked the officers accompanying him.

"How can there be so many refugees in a small Nanfeng town?"

Zhou Wenxun, the commander of the fifth battalion, walked up to Li Hong and said: "Tuanzao, these refugees have fled from all over the country, Nanfeng Town is not a strategic town, and it has not been bombed by enemy aircraft, so it is an ideal refuge for refugees." ”

Li Hong nodded after hearing this, and then he asked the chief of the quartermaster to call over.

The security regiment has sufficient logistical supplies, is an independent combat unit, and has a well-established quartermaster department.

Less than ten minutes later, a major hurried up to Li Hong.

"Tuanza!"

The major's name was Chen Caijin, and he was the chief of the quartermaster department of the security regiment.

"Chen Caijin, immediately set up several refugee shelters in the city and distribute some food to these refugees." Li Hong gave Chen Caijin a few words, and then continued: "Also, distribute some winter clothes to those refugees who don't have winter clothes. ”

"Yes, Tuanza, I'll do it right away!"

Chen Caijin saluted Li Hong, then turned around and left.

Waiting for the quartermaster to leave, Li Hong leaned into Chen Lin's ear and whispered: "Chen Lin, there are too many refugees from all over the town, you should check it carefully, don't let the devils get involved." ”

"Understood." Chen Lin nodded.

After explaining these things, after a while, the communications squad leader ran over.

"Tuanzao, the theater command is in an emergency!"

There were many people next to him, and Li Hong did not let the communication squad leader read the contents of the telegram in public, and then he took the telegram and read it carefully.

The content of the telegram was very short, and it only asked Li Hong to go to the theater headquarters immediately.

Although the telegram was only a short line, it revealed between the lines the urgency of 100,000 urgent.

Li Hong didn't have time to think about what the commanders of the theater were looking for him to do at the headquarters, so he didn't even bring a guard, and directly stepped onto a three-wheeled straddle next to him and drove out of the town.

Fengzhen is forty-five kilometers away from Xuzhou City, Li Hong rode out of the town on a motorcycle, and then ran along the road to Xuzhou City at the fastest speed......

Two hours passed.

Li Hong entered the headquarters under the leadership of the guards, and as soon as he stepped into the headquarters, he saw Li Zongyao walking back and forth in the headquarters anxiously, with a very anxious look.

Li Hongjue is very strange, why is Li Zongyao so anxious, is it because the war in Taierzhuang has changed, so he is worried?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong.

Li Hong has filmed so many anti-Japanese dramas, and knows that the national army will win a great victory in the battle of Taierzhuang, and Li Zongyao has already assembled heavy troops in the Taierzhuang area in advance to complete the deployment, and the tens of thousands of remnants of the little devils alone will not be able to make any big waves.

It seems that what worries Li Zongyao is not the current battle situation, but something else.

Li Hong strode up to Li Zongyao and saluted: "Commander Li, the head of the security regiment reports to you!" ”

"Li Hong, don't be restrained, let's sit down and talk!" Li Zongyao came over eagerly and asked Li Hong to sit down.

Soon, a colonel's adjutant came over with a document.

"Li Hong, your security regiment's Nanguan County guards fought very beautifully, with a reinforced regiment, fighting alone against the three elite divisions of the Japanese army, even the principal was shocked."

Li Zongyao pushed the document in front of Li Hong and continued: "Here is the commendation order issued by the principal himself, as well as the letter of appointment from the person, you can open it and take a look. ”

Li Hong opened the folder, glanced at the commendation order, and the letter of appointment, his face was still as calm as water.

The letter of appointment has the principal's personal visa, appointing Li Hong as the commander of the security brigade and conferring the rank of major general.

If Li Hong accepts the appointment, the security corps will be the descendant of the lineage, and in the future, the security brigade will no longer be under the command and jurisdiction of the theater, but the Imperial Forest Army under the direct command of the principal.

It is a good thing to be promoted to an official on the surface, and to be able to become the commander of the Imperial Forest Army as the headmaster, others can't ask for such a good thing.

However, the security regiment is really going to become the Royal Forest Army, and it will be far away from the battlefield from now on, where are the devils fighting?
