After the winter rain continued and the fighting rested for a while, a staff officer with an excited face strode into the headquarters of the Jiangfang Group Army, and then went straight to General Liu Xing's office. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Report!"

"Come in—"

The staff officer strode to General Liu Xing's desk and stood up and saluted.

"Chief Liu, the situation has been verified clearly, Deputy Head Liu, who came back from the breakout, is not lying, this is the news sent by the Shanghai Station of the Bureau of Statistics and Survey, please take a look." The staff officer handed a telegram to General Liu Xing.

Liu Xing hurriedly took the telegram, and quickly finished browsing the ten lines at a glance, and a rare smile appeared on his haggard face.

The telegram was sent from the Shanghai Station of the Bureau of Statistics and Survey, and through their huge intelligence network, it was confirmed that there was indeed a force of the National Revolutionary Army in Suzhou to destroy the headquarters of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Army, resulting in the death of one lieutenant and five junior commanders.

In addition, in the process of withdrawing westward, this force eliminated at least one cavalry squadron and one Shaozuo of the devil's pursuit force, and this force has attracted the attention of the dispatch army command, and ordered the front-line troops to encircle, pursue, intercept, and eliminate them.

"It's really good, immediately forward the telegram to the Central Daily and the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, I want to ask for credit for Deputy Regiment Commander Liu!" General Liu Xing's excitement is indescribable.

Although Liu Ming's series of achievements are too ordinary compared to the just-concluded Songhu Campaign, now hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated and suffered heavy losses, and they have relied on a lone weak brigade to fight for hundreds of miles, and they have such a good record, it is very different.

In the Battle of Songhu, the National Revolutionary Army lost hundreds of thousands of troops, inflicted heavy casualties, and then collapsed for thousands of miles, losing the rich Jiangnan region to the Japanese.

In the face of the terrible situation of successive defeats on the frontal battlefield, not only did the people panic and began to flee with their families all day long, but even the withdrawn troops became depressed and had no morale at all.

The Japanese army swept towards the capital Nanjing, like an avalanche, unstoppable, with a broken army with low morale, no one had confidence in trying to hold Nanjing.

The outcome of the Battle of Songhu has shrouded the land of China in a haze, and the arguments of the destruction of the country and the arguments of surrender are even more noisy.

In such an environment where the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, there is such a lone and weak brigade that not only fights alone and does not surrender in the face of the encirclement and interception of the enemy's heavy troops, but also inflicts heavy casualties on the enemy.

Their resolute, brave, and fearless spirit of sacrifice in the face of a ferocious enemy is like the sunshine piercing the haze, which is enough to lift the morale of the army and the people! Boost the determination of the whole people to resist the war!

In the past half a month, there has been news of the defeat and fall of the war, and Liu Xing believes that if this news is published, it will surely set off a frenzy and greatly encourage the morale of the army and the people.

"What are you still doing, hurry up." Seeing that the staff officer was still in place, Liu Xing hurriedly urged.

"Yes!" There was excitement in the staff officer's voice, they hadn't heard of a victory for a long time, and this victory was enough to sweep away their decadence.

Liu Xing was pacing excitedly in the same place, and since Liu Ming's achievements were true, he decided to use Liu Ming and their deeds as the target of propaganda and widely publicize their deeds, so as to achieve the effect of inspiring the morale of the army and the people.

Now the people need a victory too much, and Liu Ming and their appearance is just in time, and the honor belongs to them is indisputable.

"Please come to me, Deputy Head Liu." Liu Xing instructed the guard standing at the door.

Liu Ming and the others broke through the siege and returned to the area controlled by the National Revolutionary Army after arduous efforts, and they were still very nervous, after all, they lost contact with the commander, and then retreated all the way here.

But unexpectedly, they were not reprimanded in any way, but were well served with food and drink, and the wounded were well treated.

Liu Ming inquired about the people around him and learned that it was not only them who retreated, but hundreds of thousands of troops all retreated.

Because of General Liu Xing's orders, Liu Ming and his group of personnel who came back from the siege were treated very well, and they were all sent to Jiangyin County, where they changed into dirty and sour tattered military uniforms, took a hot bath, and changed into clean and tidy new military uniforms, and the whole person took on a new look.

Although the front line was fiercely fighting, Liu Ming, who stayed in Jiangyin City, did not have any combat missions, except for sleeping or eating, and they suddenly became idle when they had nothing to do.

Although there is a war going on near Jiangyin City, there are still many residents stranded in the city, and in addition to trusting the defenders, they are reluctant to buy their own family business.

Although the devil's plane often wanders over the county seat, the anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the Jiangyin fortress are not vegetarians.

Many restaurants and restaurants in Jiangyin County are still open, entertaining the soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army who fought bloodily, and Liu Yidao, who has nothing to do, and others have also left the station one after another after getting Liu Ming's permission and went to the city to stroll.

They seized a lot of good things on the battlefield, exchanged them for money, and then ate and drank nonsense, for them, their heads were pinned to the waistband of their trousers, and they saw more of the cruelty of war, so they naturally enjoyed it for a while if they could.

Although Yang Ling and the others did not break through and make Liu Yidao and the others sad for a while, they soon put their sadness behind them, fighting is to die, anyway, they have seen a lot of scenes of life and death, but they don't care anymore, and they will soon forget Yang Ling, who was considered dead, in the midst of eating and drinking.

Liu Ming's injury is not healed, so he naturally can't follow Liu Yidao and others to wander around the city, but Liu Yidao and others naturally won't forget him, and every time they go out, they will bring back good wine and meat, so that he can enjoy it without leaving home.

Liu Ming, who was lying in bed recuperating from his injuries, did not know that a great opportunity was about to befall him and his brothers.

When Liu Ming and the others were full of food and drink and had nothing to do in Jiangyin City, Yang Ling and the others who were still in the occupied area were not treated so well.

The drizzling winter rain made the land muddy, the bad weather made the devil reconnaissance plane unable to go to the sky, and Yang Ling, who was hiding in the village, also rarely got a chance to breathe.

Yang Ling simply ordered the team to temporarily hide in the village, they had long been exhausted from the vicious battle all the way, and now the continuous winter rain provided good cover, and the devil would not be able to get to the countryside for a while, so he just seized the time to rest.

Although the old smoking gun suggested that he should break through in the direction of Jiangyin, after all, he was not sure to stay in the occupied area.

But Yang Ling has his own considerations, they have been tossing too much these days, the blockade of the devil soldiers must have been strengthened, and they may not be able to successfully break through and go back.

In addition, even if you successfully break through and return to Jiangyin, it won't play much of a role, just a few dozen people and devils can solve it with a few shells, which is not cost-effective.

Instead of taking the risk to break through, it is better to rest in hiding, and after the rest, you can wait for the opportunity to stab the devil, why not.
