After a few days of marching, the Independent Brigade finally arrived at the predetermined combat position, Dingyuan!

Chen Qingyi took the lead, rode a horse at the front of the team, took out a telescope, and looked at the Dingyuan County in front of him.

There are not many people in the entire Dingyuan territory, there are no people between the villages and towns, even in the county seat is sparsely populated, and the entire Dingyuan has become a wasteland.

This is because the war is approaching, and the inhabitants of this area have basically been dispersed by the troops and moved to other places.

As for some of the people who remained, they were basically young and strong laborers who had been brought up by the signs, on the one hand, they could transport some grain and grass for the troops, and on the other hand, they could temporarily organize themselves when the war situation was urgent, and give them a gun, so that they could catch up with the battlefield to fight.

Retracting his gaze, Chen Qingzhi said to a soldier beside him: "Call back to Shangfeng, just say that our independent brigade has rushed to Dingyuan and is preparing to build a defensive position!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldier nodded, then put down the radio he was carrying and sent a message to his superiors with the other soldier.

After sending the telegram, Shangfeng sent a reply, the specific combat task is to let their independent brigade build a defensive position in Dingyuan, wait for the arrival of the Japanese army, and wait for the order at any time to support the friendly forces in Chuxian, or when the friendly forces in Chuzhou retreat, give a response!

The task is very simple, Chen Qingzhi nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Dingyuan position is in the second-level defensive position in the Battle of Xuzhou, and the forward position is still in Chuzhou, while their Dingyuan position is still behind, and in the early stage, there is no need to encounter the Japanese army in the first time.

It's an easy task!

Chen Qingzhi had been prepared for this task, after all, in Shangfeng's eyes, their independent brigade was just a newly established unit, and most of them were recruits.

If it weren't for the tight strength of the Xuzhou battle this time, I am afraid that they would not have pulled their independent brigade to the battlefield.

After figuring out the combat mission, Chen Qingzhi glanced behind him, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Stationed in Dingyuan! ”

With an order, the troops slowly moved again and headed towards Dingyuan County.

However, what Chen Qingzhi didn't expect was that as soon as he walked to the city gate, he was stopped by a team of soldiers stationed at the city gate, and the team suddenly stopped.

Looking at what seemed to be something wrong in front of him, Chen Qingzhi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Why didn't the troops enter the city? ”

"Brigade seat, our vanguard was stopped by the soldiers stationed at the city gate, and it seems that there was some quarrel!" A soldier who came running from the front said loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi frowned, drove the war horse forward, and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”

When Chen Qingzhi came to the city gate, Fang Xiaodong, the commander of the first regiment, was arguing with an officer, Chen Qingzhi drove forward and asked, "What happened?" Why didn't the troops enter the city! ”

"Traveler!" Hearing the voice, Fang Xiaodong looked back, but saw that it was Chen Qingzhi, and immediately saluted, and then said, "This person is obstructing our troops from entering the city!" ”

The officer on the opposite side saw Chen Qing coming before, and when he saw the military uniform worn by Chen Qingzhi and the rank on his neckline, his originally arrogant attitude was somewhat restrained, but he still said a little arrogantly: "Isn't what I said wrong?" Why did a ragtag army that didn't know where it came from need to enter the city? Our troops are stationed in Dingyuan County! Go outside the city and defend yourself! ”

Hearing this tone and words with some contempt, Chen Qingzhi suddenly became angry, looked at the person, and said coldly: "Who are you?" That part of it? ”

"It turned out to be a major general and brigade commander! It's rude! Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, the man pretended to have just seen it, and then said: "We are a unit under the 31st Army, and the humble position is Zhang Zhisong, the commander of the 566th Regiment of the 135th Division of the 31st Army under the jurisdiction of the 11th Group Army, and I have seen the commander!" ”

There was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

When saluting Chen Qingzhi, it was also a little casual and perfunctory, which clearly did not take Chen Qingzhi seriously.

"It turned out to be from the 31st Army!" Chen Qingzhi frowned, a little displeased.

For this 31st Army, Chen Qingzhi has also heard of it.

The commander of the 31st Army is Liu Shiyi, a famous general of the Gui family, who fights fiercely and is quite disciplined, and is a great general, and the 31st Army he leads is a unit of the Gui family, which is brave in battle, but such a unit ......

Although the 31st Army fought a great battle, there were too many people, after all, there were all kinds of birds, and Chen Qingzhi did not expect that there were still so many people under the 31st Army who would reject the miscellaneous troops.

Although Chen Qingzhi knew that the rejection of miscellaneous cards by these descendants was very serious, he didn't expect that they would be rejected to this point!

A mere regiment commander dared to be so disrespectful to him, a major general and brigade commander, and even blocked his troops from the city gate.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi glanced at this Zhang Zhisong, and after the other party saluted, he continued: "This commander, the position of Dingyuan is critical, in order to prevent mistakes, so our 135th Division is stationed here, so we won't worry about your troops, or you can pull the troops to the south of Dingyuan City, in this way, our two troops can still watch and help each other, if the Japanese army attacks, we can also have a response, right?" ”

"If both troops are stationed in the city, each defending its own defense area, it is not very convenient to command, in case one of the troops can't hold it, the other party can't reinforce it in time!"

Although Zhang Zhisong's remarks are reasonable and well-founded, the meaning of his remarks is clearly to look down on the combat effectiveness of the independent brigade and think that if their independent brigade is stationed in Dingyuan, it will not be able to resist the attack of the Japanese army.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi smiled.

At this time, Huzi happened to drive his horse over, and when he heard this, he was immediately furious, and he waved his hand and whipped Zhang Zhisong's body, and scolded: "Pickled goods, blind your dog's eyes, and don't look at what kind of troops this is!" ”

"Do you know who you're talking to? It's like eating the bear's heart and leopard gall! ”

Huzi scolded and roared.

"You...... How do you hit someone! The ragtag troops are still so arrogant, believe it or not, I sent troops to disarm you all! Huzi directly pulled out a bloody mark on Zhang Zhisong's shoulder with a whip, and immediately pulled Zhang Zhisong out, shouting in disbelief.

"Still disarmed? Which green onion are you! Hearing this, Huzi sneered and said: "Even if your division commander comes, you ask him if he dares to talk like this to our brigade!" ”

"Which troop are you? There's a kind of newspaper to get your name on! Hearing this, Zhang Zhisong gritted his teeth and shouted.

The scar on his shoulder and the scorching pain made Zhang Zhisong a little angry, and he couldn't wait to report to the division seat now and disarm this unit!

"Prick up your ears and listen to me! We are the independent mixed Zhongzheng Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 15th Group Army, and standing in front of you is our brigade seat Chen Qingzhi! ”

Huzi said loudly.
