After the spy was caught, Liu Ying did not return to the hygiene, but asked the pillar to help her buy an old hen. Although Shao Fei is fine, her face is bloodless, and her body is still very weak, she wants to make a bowl of chicken soup for Shao Fei herself.

After Liu Ying finished making it with great effort, she put the big bowl of chicken soup in the basket and went to Shao Fei. At the door of the ward, I heard laughter inside, opened the door and took a look, and found that Shao Fei and the nurses were chatting happily.

"Pillars, they're busy catching spies outside, I've worked hard to make chicken soup for you, you're ......"

Liu Ying shook her head with a smile and walked in with a basket.

Shao Fei replied with a smile: "I have confidence in the pillars, but they may not catch all of them. Not every spy has a gun, or is Japanese. ”

A nurse stepped forward and said enviously: "Sister Liu Ying, you are so happy." Not only can he sing, but he can also tell a lot of jokes. ”

"Really?" Liu Ying was jealous and looked at Shao Fei with white eyes.

"Then we'll go out first."

Several nurses left the room with a good acquaintance. Liu Ying took out the bowl, put it on the bedside table, and picked up the spoon to feed Shao Fei soup.

"You're not angry, chatting and talking can increase blood circulation and help with wound healing, you know."

"I know, I'm not that stingy."

As she spoke, Liu Ying began to feed Shao Fei soup.

Shao Fei took a sip, and seemed to remember something, and his face was gloomy.

Liu Ying asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"They are all girls under the age of 20, who came all the way from Sichuan."

Shao Fei seemed to have something to say, and Liu Ying asked: "The 122nd Division ...... last?"

Liu Ying knew that she shouldn't ask these questions, so she stopped.

Shao Fei replied in a low voice: "The whole army is annihilated." In Teng County, there is no life left. ”

Liu Ying was completely stunned, and the spoon in her hand fell on the bed.

Liu Ying picked up the spoon and couldn't believe Shao Fei's words: "How can this be?"

Shao Fei replied: "Actually, I really know the specifics, the textbooks are all understatement of the anti-Japanese war of the national army, and the defense of Tengxian County seems to be not mentioned at all. After joining the army, I studied modern warfare. ”

With some expectation, Liu Ying asked, "Then how do you know that the 122nd Division will be wiped out?"

"In the movie, Wang Mingzhang led the 122nd Division to fight to the last man, and finally raised a gun to martyr the country."

"I don't want to hear it. The movies are all made up by people, and they may not be true. ”

Shao Fei knew Liu Ying's mood, so he didn't say anything. The reason why I told Liu Ying just now was just that I hoped that she would have a certain amount of mental preparation.

The news of the arrest of the Japanese spy in Tengxian County quickly spread to the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army. The commander of the division, Ryosuke Isoya, was very shocked and sent out the air force to cover himself, but he was still caught so many people. Thankfully, there are still a few people who have not been caught.

Ryosuke Isoya is a very confident and arrogant person. Now he is very eager to capture Tengxian County, and then go south to take Xuzhou in one fell swoop, and get this immortal achievement.

However, they faced the blocking of the 45th and 41st armies of the Sichuan army, and it would take several days for their troops to assemble and complete the deployment. Because the battle between them and the 55th Army in the area of Cao Fulin and Xinghua Village has just ended.

The reason why Ryosuke Isoya was so eager to go south to capture Xuzhou was because in the Battle of Linyi in the south, the Itagaki Division was heavily damaged by the 59th Army led by General Zhang Zizhong, and it was defeated.

The Itagaki Division is known as the Iron Army, but in the eyes of Ryosuke Isoya, Itagaki is a coward, and his Sixth Division is even stronger than him. Therefore, he has to rush to take Xuzhou to prove it.

At the Xuzhou headquarters, General Li Zongren was overjoyed when he learned that the Itagaki Division had been heavily damaged in the direction of Linyi to the south. Now that General Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army was in the south, he was not worried. He was still worried about General Sun Zhen's 22nd Group Army.

"Do you think the 45th Army and the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army can hold on for a few days in the area of Teng County."

Li Zongren looked at the large map on the square table in front of him and asked the generals around him tentatively. And he asked how many days he could keep, not whether he could hold on.

Chief of Staff Xu Zu replied, "A week at most."

Others also agreed with Xu Zu's statement that seven days was the limit of the Sichuan army.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army was assembled, which should be around March 10. If, as Chief of Staff Xu Zu predicted, the Sichuan Army could only hold out for a week, then the deployment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army might not be completed.

Li Zongren had already thought of a bold battle plan, but what was needed was time. After hearing them say this, a trace of sadness appeared on their faces.

Xu Zu seemed to see Li Zongren's thoughts, so he said, "But not necessarily. The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can it be predicted. Although the Sichuan army was backward in equipment, it fought bravely. Didn't the first two days wipe out more than 300 Japanese soldiers at a very small cost? ”

Li Zongren said: "I know this, they took the initiative to attack while the Japanese army was not firmly established. But at this small price, I don't believe that the destruction of nearly two squadrons of the Japanese army is suspected of lying about the military situation. ”

Xu Zu replied affirmatively: "It is true that it was not the Sichuan Army that commanded this battle, but a person named Shao Fei from the Eighth Route Army."

"Shao Fei, I've never heard of this person, who is it? Why did he help the Sichuan army? ”

Xu Zu smiled and replied, "This person is in his early twenties, but he is a very legendary figure. I did some research for this reason, and I was shocked. ”

"Don't sell it, say it quickly." Li Zongren was very impatient.

Xu Zu said: "In the Battle of Xinkou, he helped the 514th Regiment of the Zheng Army hold its position for a day, but he faced two brigades of Japanese troops; He also participated in the defense of Taiyuan, destroying an artillery position of the Japanese army. At night, with a guard platoon, he severely damaged a Japanese brigade and killed a Japanese captain; Even more desperate was the Battle of Nanjing, where he helped Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division defend Yuhuatai, and carried out two night attacks to eliminate the artillery positions of the Sixth Division and an armored unit. Gu Shoufu hated him to the core, and threatened to break Shao Fei's body into ten thousand pieces. ”

Li Zongren laughed: "Legendary enough." As the Eighth Route Army, it fought the battle of the national army. So why did he come to help the Sichuan army? ”

Xu Zu replied: "I asked General Sun Zhen, he was passing by, and General Sun Zhen was left to help guard Teng County. Originally, I was going to Xuzhou, but I should say that I was going to Wuhan and rushing to the Yunnan army. He had a great friendship with Zhang Chong of the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army, and Zhang Chong invited him to come. The war in Xuzhou is tight, and the Yunnan army will inevitably be dispatched, on the other hand, to help us. ”

Hearing Xu Zu say this, Li Zongren had more confidence in the Sichuan army. Regardless of whether Shao Fei is or not, he still trusts the Sichuan army very much. So he said his battle plan.

First of all, the Sichuan army must be in Tengxian for more than ten days. Then let Sun Lianzhong's Second Army arrange a defensive line in the area of Taierzhuang. When the Japanese 10th Division marched south to fight Sun Lianzhong in Taierzhuang, he ordered Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps to cut off the road to the north of the Japanese 10th Division, and then encircle the 10th Division.

Li Zongren's plan was questioned by Xu Zu, saying: "Two uncertainties. First, whether the Sichuan army can hold it for ten days; Second, although the 20th Army of Tang Enbo is in the Fifth War Zone, he may not obey our orders, he is the descendant of a veteran. Doesn't he have a nickname called "Don't Save When You Die?" At that time, Sun Lianzhong will be miserable. ”

Li Zongren thought for a moment and said, "I'm not worried about the Sichuan army. As for Tang Enbo, he can only call the veteran to come forward. He wouldn't want to see Xuzhou fall like this. ”
