Chapter 352: The Frontline
The newly transferred political training section chief has learned from the past, and he also knows that this veteran is not good at being unruly, so he learned to be obedient, no longer troubled the brothers, and discussed everything with Yang Ling, the deputy head of the regiment.

Yang Ling naturally knew that although they had a slight upper hand in the open and secret battle with the previous political training section chief, it was all due to the huge pressure on the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao.
After all, the war on the front line is now in full swing, and all departments are paying close attention to military training, so they have appropriately released water on political training.
But there is a limit to everything, if you don't know how to do it and continue to work against the people in the Political Training Department, I'm afraid that even the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao will not be able to give the boss an errand.
Therefore, when the new chief of the political training section politely discussed with him, Yang Ling did not reject the face of the white fat political training chief, and finally decided to conduct military training five days a week and political training for two days.
Although this result made the head of the new political training section dissatisfied and felt that the time of the political training was a bit short, Yang Ling also had his own reasons.
"Section Chief Zhou, it's not that I don't pay attention to political training, most of our regiment are recruits who have been reorganized, and they can't even hold their guns, and this military committee will review us immediately, who will be responsible for making a fool of yourself when the time comes?"
"Take a step back and say, this Xuzhou front line is fighting fiercely, we may be pulled up and desperate at some point, if we don't seize the time to train and improve combat effectiveness, can you bear to watch these brothers who don't know anything go to death in vain?"
Yang Ling told the truth, so that the new section chief, who was dedicated to political training, had to make temporary concessions.
"Since Deputy Head Yang said this, I myself deeply understand, but the brothers must all be present for the two days of political training every week, and there can be no absence, after all, this political training is a matter explained by the chairman, Deputy Head Yang, you also let me have a good relationship."
"Okay, I promise that no one will be absent until the time" Yang Ling saw that the chief of the political training section respected him, and he was not good at sweeping the other party's face, so the two sides reached a private agreement, five days a day of military training, two days of political and ideological education and study.
The agreement made both parties happy, the new political training section chief was able to complete his own tasks, and Yang Ling could also let the brothers combine work and rest while the political training was taking advantage of the political training.
The training of the troops was carried out in an orderly manner, and while Yang Ling was paying close attention to the training, he would read the front-line battle reports and the newspapers of various newspapers every day to understand the situation of the war.
In this era of backward communications, there were limited channels to learn about the outside world, and Yang Ling could only spy on the situation through newspapers and war reports issued by the army.
During this period of their political training, the Battle of Xuzhou was already in full swing, and the troops of the Fifth Theater fought on the north and south fronts under the command of General Li Zongren, the commander, and achieved quite a good record, among which the troops of the 11th Group Army in the south fought in the Chihe Blockade Battle for more than a month, but annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese troops, which greatly boosted the anti-Japanese morale of the military and people throughout the country.
In addition to the victory of the Chihe Blockade Battle, there were also many other good news, General Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army cooperated with the 51st Army in Linhuai Pass, and the Bengbu line also made many gains, although the Japanese 13th Division was violent, it was difficult to survive.
Although General Li Zongren placed the main force in the north to resist the Japanese southward advance, the 10th and 5th divisions of the Japanese army were sharp and had occupied a large area of cities and towns, and the situation was not optimistic.
Among them, the Seya detachment of the Japanese army attacked Lunanteng County with all its strength and advanced to the Taierzhuang area with all its might.
Taierzhuang is the gateway to Xuzhou, where the headquarters of the Fifth Theater is located, and Lunan Tateng County is the gateway to Taierzhuang, and General Li Zongren, who is full of miscellaneous troops in his hands, handed over the task of defending this place to the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army transferred from the Second Theater.
After tens of thousands of troops of the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army captured Zou County, they rushed straight to Teng County without stopping, and the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army arranged on the periphery could not stop the advance of the Japanese army, and many troops sacrificed their entire battalions and entire companies on the positions, and the battle was tragic.
The 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army Wang Mingzhang, which was guarding Fuji County, was not frightened by the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, but relied on the broken city wall to resist to the death, and the two sides fought fiercely from the 13th to the 17th.
In the face of the Japanese army that invaded Teng County, the remaining Sichuan soldiers resisted bravely, and the division commander Wang Mingzhang commanded from the front, and the two sides fought for another day and night, and finally only hundreds of wounded soldiers who were lying on stretchers and could not move were still alive.
In January, Liu Xiang, the commander of the Sichuan army, left behind before his death in Hankou Hospital: "The enemy will not leave the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to his hometown for a day." The Sichuan army on the battlefield shouted this slogan and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
This group of Sichuan troops who did not want to be in the second theater came to repay General Li Zongren's kindness in taking him in, and secondly, to listen to the last words of the commander of the Sichuan army who died of illness.
"All the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army from the division commander Wang Mingzhang and below were martyred, and none of them surrendered."
When Yang Ling saw the news in the newspaper with his own eyes, he couldn't help but tears in his eyes, these stubborn Sichuan men did not disgrace their hometown fathers and elders in the end, they are real heroes.
Because the Sichuan army held back the pace of the Japanese attack in Teng County, General Li Zongren was able to calmly mobilize troops in Taierzhuang to arrange defenses.
The Japanese army then pressed Taierzhuang, and Chi Fengcheng, the commander of the 31st Division responsible for guarding Taierzhuang, led more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to defend Taierzhuang.
The 31st Division successfully dragged the Japanese army to Taierzhuang, and Tang Enbo's corps took the opportunity to outflank it from the periphery, putting the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang in a dangerous dilemma and had to break through to survive.
General Li Zongren commanded all kinds of troops to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, although the Japanese army finally succeeded in tearing the hole and running away, but more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded.
Since the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, this was the first major victory of the Chinese army on the battlefield in which more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated, so that the dark clouds shrouded in people's hearts were swept away, and the whole country was excited.
Although Yang Ling's 74th Army was training in Wuhan, the news of Taierzhuang's victory came, and the brothers were unprecedentedly excited and excited.
The victory in Taierzhuang excited the brothers, who trained harder and were eager to go to the battlefield.
After the great victory in Taierzhuang, General Li Zongren quickly dispatched troops to counterattack and expand the results of the battle, and successively gathered 60 divisions with a total of 670,000 troops in the Xuzhou area.
The defeat of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang made them not reconciled, but used part of their forces to contain the Chinese army head-on, and secretly transferred the 3rd, 9th, 13th, 16th, 114th, 14th, 10th, and 5th divisions to the Xuzhou area, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Chinese army in Xuzhou.
