Chapter 358: The Only Way to Live (Fifth Watch Completed)

Thinking of this, Zhong Yi really wanted to kill Xia Ming with one shot!

It's just that this thought is just thinking about it in my mind, if I really kill it, it will definitely not work!

The first one, Xia Ming is a little greedy, but he is still a man on the battlefield, and he is not ambiguous about fighting devils, not to mention anything else, at least Langxi County was fought hard by him!

Second, Xia Ming's situation is a common phenomenon in the national army!

Before the crossing, Zhong Yi had gone to a military school and read modern historical materials, so he knew that during the Republic of China, the corruption of the army was unimaginable for future generations.

Especially after the Central Plains War, President Chang found that the old officers represented by the Baoding Department were very unreliable, so he began to exchange blood for the Central Army, and the Huangpu Department began to replace the Baoding Department on a large scale.

The old officers of the Baoding department realized that sooner or later they would step aside, and began to unscrupulously hold money.

Then, the corruption of the Baoding system soon spread to the Huangpu department, and in the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, that is, before the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, there were almost no commanders in the entire national army who were not corrupt!

In a word, there are few commanders at all levels of the national army who don't eat what they want with a card! As long as you don't eat empty pay and don't drink the blood of soldiers, you are already very clean!

Although Xia Ming is greedy, he wants to take all the cards, and he is especially ruthless to business owners and businessmen like Li Xudong, but at least he doesn't eat empty salaries and doesn't drink soldiers' blood! This is already a rare thing in the national army!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "Head Xia, let me tell you the truth, it is impossible for these 21 devils to sell to you, no matter how high the price you pay, it is absolutely impossible!" ”

Xia Ming's face immediately fell.

Zhong Yi changed his words and said, "But I can help you repel this attack of the devil!" ”

"What do you say? The devil wants to attack Langxi? Xia Ming's face suddenly changed, "How do you know?" ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Zhong Yi said coldly, "If the devil hadn't sent such a small force to attack your regimental headquarters in order to attack Langxi County?" ”

Xia Ming was silent for a moment, yes, if he didn't fight Langxi, would the devil be guilty of sending such an elite small army to attack his regimental headquarters? If it was purely just a decapitation, why didn't the devil directly decapitate the headquarters or even the headquarters of the theater commander? How old can he, the little colonel, be old?

Thinking of this, Xia Ming's heart immediately sank.

This is really a house leak that happened to be rainy, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind!

The trouble of the regiment headquarters being hit by the devils has not been resolved, and the little devils have attacked Langxi County on a large scale, if Langxi County is not held in the end, then what awaits him is not just dismissal.

I don't know, I don't know if I will be sent to a military court this time!

Therefore, repelling the attack of the devils and holding Langxi County is the only way to live!

But Xia Ming's own family knows his own affairs, and with his strength alone, in the face of an infantry brigade of devils, it is absolutely impossible to hold Langxi!

But if you add Zhong Yi's 367 regiment, it's a different story!

At that moment, Xia Ming asked Zhong Yi eagerly: "Head Zhong, what you said is true?" Would you really like to help me? ”

"Really!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Commander Xia, we had a misunderstanding before, but no matter what, we both belong to the national army, and I, Zhong Yi, will never watch the devils eat your regiment, because if your regiment is eaten by the devils, what will be lost is China's national defense strength after all!" ”

"Captain Zhong!" Xia Ming was really embarrassed now.

After settling down, Xia Ming said again: "Commander Zhong, Gao Chun's devils have already made a big move, and by noon tomorrow at the latest, they will advance to Langxi County, when will the main force of your 367 regiment come back?" ”

"The main force of the 367th regiment?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "The main force of the regiment will not come back." ”

"Huh?!" When Xia Ming heard this, his face fell again, the main force of the 367 regiment will not come back, so what kind of fart are you talking about? With just 200 or so people under your command, can you turn things around?

Zhong Yi could guess what Xia Ming was thinking, and said at the moment: "Commander Xia, don't underestimate my two hundred people, the so-called soldiers are not expensive, but expensive!" You won't be disappointed when the time comes! ”

Xia Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly remembered that more than 100 people in his regiment headquarters were killed by more than 20 devils?

Thinking of Zhong Yi's previous series of achievements, Xia Ming suddenly regained his confidence and said urgently: "Commander Zhong, in this case, how about you command the defense of Langxi this time?" ”

"It doesn't have to be." Zhong Yi shook his head and refused.

Seeing the distraction on Xia Ming's face, Zhong Yi said again: "But I can help you with the staff." ”

"Thank you so much!" Xia Ming was overjoyed suddenly, thinking that Zhong Yi was really a kind person, not only did he not care about his previous plots, but he was also willing to give him the exploits of defending Langxi!

Of course, there must be a premise for this, that is, Langxi must be guarded.

At that moment, Xia Ming said again: "Commander Zhong, how should this battle be fought?" ”

Zhong Yi was not pretentious, and asked, "Commander Xia, how are the troops of your regiment deployed now?" ”

Xia Ming said: "The defensive deployment of our regiment is that the main force is 1 battalion in Meizhu Town, 2 battalions in Xintang, 3 battalions in Xinzhuang Village, and the three battalions are in a zigzag shape, relying on each other. But I'm worried that the devils will bypass the front line and attack Langxi County directly, then I will be blind! ”

After a pause, Xia Ming said again: "Now there is only half a guard company left in the county seat!" ”

Zhong Yi frowned, he really deserves to be a high-achieving student from the Whampoa Military Academy, and the defense routines are the same!

They all like to deploy their troops in the field, but only a few troops are placed in the county, in the name of rejecting the enemy from the country, not to damage the property of the people, in fact, there is only one purpose, and you can run faster when you can't fight!

In the fourteen years of the Anti-Japanese War, there were nearly 100 battles of all sizes, and the examples of the national army defending the city can be counted in two slaps.

It's not that the combat effectiveness of the national army is low, and it's not that the grassroots officers of the national army are afraid of death, it's really that middle and senior officers lack the heart to die!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Commander Xia, you will definitely not be able to hold Langxi, as long as the devil makes a detour, as soon as he appears outside Langxi County, the three main battalions on the front line will collapse in an instant!" ”

"What then?" Xia Ming said with a bitter face, "Take all the troops back to the county seat?" ”

"This is the only way to live!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Take the troops back into the city and fight with the devils house by house, only then will there be a chance to form a stalemate, as long as a stalemate is formed, I can find an opportunity to end the devil's headquarters, and when I take out the devil's headquarters, you can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and you can defeat the devils in one fell swoop!" ”

"That's right." Xia Ming was in a dilemma.

"Head Xia, you think about it slowly, and then notify me when there is a result, I will miss the company first." Zhong Yi finished speaking and left.

Looking at Zhong Yi's back, Xia Ming gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhong, I listen to you!" Hold on! ”
