discussed the next action with Lao Zhao, and soon after sending Lao Zhao away, the truck rumbled back.

Dong Ku didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked that this unit was an elite selected by Liu Canghao, and they were familiar with the execution of orders, and they were already mature combat effectiveness, so he directly ordered that the guns left for the recruits were assigned to them, just one for each person, according to the information that Liu Canghao had, a squad of ten people, two snipers, two machine gunners, two secondary shooters, and the rest were AK.

He re-tied Liu Canghao and adjusted the establishment, each platoon set up an independent fire squad of four mortars, two heavy machine guns, and each company also had an independent fire platoon, so that the troops were deployed separately and had combat effectiveness, although they were slightly bloated, but the firepower was strong. At the battalion level, a reconnaissance company, an engineer company, an assault company, and a transport company are set up to ensure that each battalion has the ability to attack and defend on its own.

After Liu Canghao finished the distribution, he pondered carefully, and he found that the combat effectiveness of the troops could be known even if they did not go to the battlefield, and they more than doubled.

Especially with two sniper rifles, although there is no heavy sniper, and their people can't use heavy sniping for the time being, semi-automatic is enough.

Gun grenades also have spare, snipers, and also shoulder the task of destroying small targets. In addition, there are anti-tank groups, all AK, with an iron fist.

Clothing, they are all uniform combat uniforms, but they are not camouflaged uniforms, they do not belong to the troops of stealth raids, they still need training.

Dong Ku built this army in this way because he didn't want them to drag their feet when they followed the action, and at the same time, he knew that Lao Zhao's troops were very difficult, and they couldn't carry out the training with a large amount of exercise and bullet consumption. Lao Zhao wanted this army to return to Heilongjiang and was trained as a male division in the advance army.

After getting the new weapons, all these recruits were full of fighting spirit, and at the same time, they also understood that the combat effectiveness of the advance army was not accidental, and they carried two of them on their backs with such advanced weapons. Even the heavy sniper has an assault quick rush.

Dong Ku assigned Liu Canghao to his own team, he and Sun Yitao divided into two teams, one team entered Hebei along the direction of Dezhou, took the route to Cangzhou, he entered Shangqiu, went straight to Xinxiang, Handan, and Shijiazhuang. The two marches together.

Qu Jungang and Liu Haisong followed Sun Tao, Yu Lei and Yu Ke followed Dong Ku, the supply mainly followed Sun Tao, Dong Ku was in the minority here, and when they broke through to Tianjin, they joined forces in one place, and they could abandon the supply line of Shijiazhuang.

Liu Zhong's tiger teeth moved first. They will be responsible for seizing the main bridges along the line and knowing the movements of the Japanese army. If appropriate, I will carry out decapitation.

Everything is ready, rest for the night, and then you can set off for the north.

Although Dong Ku was distressed that he could not eat the Japanese army on the west side of Xuzhou, when he received Gu Zhutong and did not move, it was too late to send troops to pursue. He no longer cared about the small army, which escaped as a division at best.

But he believed that the rapid advance of the team could eat these fleeing Japanese soldiers in Shangqiu, sooner or later. They still can't escape.

But at this moment, Huya, who had been walking for a day, came with the news that the Japanese army in Shangqiu was evacuated in a big way, and the direction was Kaifeng.

The Japanese army abandoned Shangqiu?

This news surprised Dong Ku, did the Japanese army continue to shrink the defensive line?

Sun Tao and others were also very surprised, and they were very puzzled by the Japanese army's abandonment of Shangqiu, but at the same time, they could accept it. Shangqiu, lonely, is already a lonely city, including Kaifeng, which is also a lonely city, and they will even give up Kaifeng if they can't make it.

"Alright! Run to the right thing I want, rush together to clean up together to save trouble! ”

Dong Ku said as he tapped on the map.

Zuo Boyang also felt the same way, eating piece by piece, it is better to concentrate on the battle here, which not only saves ammunition, but also has a good effect, just like Xuzhou, strangled more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers, and the artillery shells consumed are not very many.

While they were pondering, the guard suddenly came to report that a lieutenant principal surnamed Xie had come to see Dong Ku.

The surname Xie?

Dong Ku frowned, remembering who it might be, so he shouted, "Please let him in." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the door first, apparently to pick him up.

Zuo Boyang didn't know who the person from the road was, and when they saw Dong Ku going to greet them, of course they followed closely.

When I came to the door, I was just in time to meet the people who came in. Dong Ku looked at it, and sure enough, the person who came in was Xie Jinyuan.

The moment Dong Ku saw Xie Jinyuan, he saluted, "Why did General Xie remember me here?" ”

Xie Jinyuan also saluted and said: "General Dong, after a long time, Xie came to pay a visit to thank him for saving his life." ”

"Ha Lu Ha! How can you care about the subtleties in the middle of the horses? Say, what does General Xie need for Dong? Let's talk slowly. ”

"General Dong is quick to talk, Xie is inconvenient to visit on the way to the army, and there is really something wrong with this time." Xie Jinyuan said as he walked.

"Oh? Tell me, what's going on? ”

Dong Ku said as he walked, and even Liu Zhong and the others did not introduce him for the time being.

"General Dong, Xie Mou came this time to fight side by side with you again, I wonder if it is an honor for Lu Dao to take a curtain call?"

"Together?"

Dong Ku paused, this was the only possibility he hadn't thought of. He knew that Xie Jinyuan had returned to Gu Zhutong and was promoted to lieutenant general and division commander. Gu Zhutong didn't move, did he want to disobey the order and come over to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance without permission? Is this a personal act or a ......

With a brain teaser, he didn't answer right away, let in, and entered the reception room. When the tea came up, Dong Ku loved you one by one and introduced it to Liu Zhong and the others, and then asked: "General Xie, I don't know if you are here or ......?"

Xie Jinyuan seemed to have expected Dong Ku to ask this, and when the voice fell, he took over and said, "General Dong, Commander Gu wants to carry out the order, he asked Xie to convey his apologies for letting go of the Japanese troops on the west side, and at the same time, he also ordered Xie to follow General Dong and continue to attack together. ”

Four divisions......

Dong Ku and the others glanced at each other, and Dong Ku asked puzzledly, "Didn't your principal already order the military operation to be stopped?" It's ......"

Xie Jinyuan smiled bitterly and said: "You may understand this, there are many countries in the mediator, in order not to offend these countries, they can import medicines, machinery, weapons, etc. from these countries, and they have no choice but to be wronged, but the principal is unwilling to pause so much, so that the Japanese army can breathe, so Commander Gu accompanied those field observers to settle in Suzhou, Xie took four divisions, quietly changed guards, rushed to Xuzhou, joined the sequence of continuing the attack, and strived to expel the Japanese army from Lu as soon as possible." ”

Xie Jinyuan's words surprised Dong Ku. In this way, the national army did not give up the idea of continuing the offensive, and Lao Chiang came to the left and right, which ensured the cooperative relationship with his own side, and was able to obtain enough benefits in Lao, the United States and other countries. The most critical point, Dong Ku estimates that Lao Jiang is worried that he will share the territory with Lao Zhao, let him watch the excitement next to him, this will resist the Japanese, unanimously with the outside world, he can't make any moves yet, once the time has passed, the momentum here has grown enough, and then it will be too late to turn his face, it is better to maintain the previous cooperation method, and he will also be able to recover some territory.

Thinking of this, Dong Ku felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, they were still calculating with each other, and they didn't know that the real crisis of Lu Dao was in the great powers.

However, he was quickly relieved, as the head of state, it was inevitable to think about it, since he sent troops, then this could also make his march faster, anyway, it was not a bad thing.

He glanced at Zuo Boyang and the others, and when he saw that they were all silently bowing their heads, he knew that they were thinking the same as himself, so he raised his head and said, "I understand, since this is the case, General Xie is welcome to join the offensive sequence, and let us fight side by side again!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha! Xie has been looking forward to it for a long time, and it is Xie Mou's honor to be able to fight side by side with General Dong again. ”

Xie Jinyuan laughed. He knew that Commander Gu and the chairman of the committee sent him because he was familiar with Dong Ku and could also gain Dong Ku's trust. Sure enough, there was nothing unusual about the trip, and everything went well.

Why didn't Dong Ku know the reason why Xie Jinyuan was sent? It's just that I'm afraid of my own suspicion.

With four divisions, with four divisions in front of you, fifty or sixty thousand people, you can already allow yourself to move all the way and sweep everything you pass. Otherwise, his own troops are really thin.

The next thing is simple, Dong Ku once again allocated two divisions to Sun Tao to strengthen Sun Tao's combat effectiveness and ensure the supply line, and it is enough for him to only bring ten divisions on his side.

After briefly telling Xie Jinyuan about the route of the attack and the position of the march, Xie Jinyuan got up and left, gathered his troops, and entered the Xuzhou defense area without mentioning it.

When Gu Zhutong passed the news that Dong Ku did not reject Xie Jinyuan and agreed to join the attack sequence to Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and

His thoughts were the same as Dong Ku's guess, he was afraid that Dong Ku would share all the territory with Lao Zhao, so that he would be difficult to control. Now that cooperation has been resumed, he can go all the way north, at least, he can get half of the north of the river, so that the whole territory will not be divided between the advance army and Lao Zhao.

When Xie Jinyuan's troops arrived, Dong Ku had already arranged his position, let him follow the left and right flanks of the army, and after Zhang Zizhong's four divisions were in place, the four divisions on one side would advance at the beginning and push forward, so that all the remnants of the place where he passed could be cleaned up, and the remaining troops could be reduced to clear those puppet troops and small groups of Japanese troops.

Japanese army, of course, he will not leave one, the puppet army, in addition to killing some irons, he is really difficult to start as a soldier, but he is unwilling to manage them, and he can't let it go, so he handed over the puppet army all the way to Lao Zhao and Gu Zhutong.

Here, Xie Jinyuan followed, and those puppet soldiers didn't have to worry about themselves, wasting food.

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, Dong Ku left a brigade in Xuzhou, and the army set off in the rising sun. The front end of the team was full of self-propelled artillery and trucks, and they rushed all the way to Shangqiu...... (To be continued......)
