It was another sunny morning, and the radio broadcast north of the Suzhou River rang again. The people in the concession had become accustomed to hearing it twice a day. Even if there was no war, they still hoped to hear news about the lone army;
They are now accustomed to hearing Yang Yuchen's voice. With the increase in the popularity of Sihang Warehouse Radio, the name of military reporter Yang Yuchen has also become a household name. Her daily personal diary of the military has been serialized in the Central Daily News, helping the Political Department Harshly harvested a group of public opinions.
"Good morning, listeners, I am your old friend Yang Yuchen..."
When Wu Tielin heard Yang Yuchen's voice as expected, he felt endless energy all over his body. The lone army was still fighting, Shencheng had not fallen yet, and his home was still there!
The broadcasts of the Lone Legion have become the spiritual support of many people in the concession. As long as the Lone Legion is still there, they are full of confidence in life. In their view, the Lone Legion is invincible.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Compatriots, listen, the Japanese have begun to attack again!
The lone army will not be afraid of any Japs, so let the Japs' artillery fire be more intense.
We are going to fight the Japanese. See you tonight. "
Wu Tielin was not worried because of the sudden appearance of Japanese artillery fire, because he believed that the lone army would definitely be able to defeat the powerful enemy. In the evening, there would be another big victory, and their family would have to buy a bottle of wine and a few pieces of meat.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace. He had to work hard. The lone army had been persisting in the war. What reason did he have for not working hard? He wanted to save enough living expenses for Xiaoli, and then he also wanted to find the lone army and join the army, following Captain Luo. Fight the devil.
"Reporter Yang is right. Without a country, how can we have a home? No one can live a comfortable life until the Japanese are driven away. I don't want my future children to be slaves to the subjugation of the country!"
At the lone army headquarters, Luo Ying said vigilantly:
"Today's artillery preparations were different from before. The fire was much more accurate and more violent. There was even the sound of 75mm mountain cannons. I dared to have mountain cannons shell the building without worrying about the shells falling into the concession. I have such confidence. It can only be the Japs’ standing army division, and the Japs have changed their generals!”
At this moment, secret telegraph operator Hu Xiaoman ran over and asked him to report:
"Captain, I received a notification from the division headquarters that the Japanese replaced Black Gouzi with the Thirteenth Division."
After hearing this, the staff of the regiment changed their expressions. The combat effectiveness of a field division was not comparable to that of the novice Marine Corps. The real test of the lone regiment was coming.
Luo Ying took the message casually and said disdainfully:
"What happened to the elite of the Japanese army? My lone army was fighting against the elite of the Japanese army!
It's really not a challenge to keep fighting against these noobs like the Japanese Marine Corps. Now it's better, it's our old rival, the Thirteenth Division;
It's not like we haven't learned this before. They should be scared when they see us. Last time we wiped out a large group of theirs, but this time we still made them pay a heavy price and let them take a detour when they see our lone group in the future. "
Xie Zhongyuan could naturally tell that these were the morale-boosting words of the regiment leader. Even if a Japs from a Grade A division came, they could not rob them without fighting. He immediately took the words and said:
"Okay, the regiment commander is right. When the soldiers come, they will be blocked. When the water comes, the soil will cover them. When the Thirteenth Division comes, they will destroy the Thirteenth Division."
The staff officers who were still a little fearful before immediately regained their confidence. With the regiment leader here, there is no strong enemy that cannot be defeated. Now they, Luo Ying, have a fascination-like trust. Since the regiment leader said that they can be destroyed, they will definitely be able to defeat them. They never came back, and their morale was instantly restored to its original state.
Luo Ying said it lightly, but it was to encourage the soldiers. He still attached great importance to the Thirteenth Division. After all, it was a permanent division of the Japanese. Their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Marines with two swords.
Strategically, we can despise the enemy, but we must pay attention to tactics. Fortunately, the 13th Division has just been rebuilt. They are all reserve personnel. Compared with elites like the 9th Division, the 6th Division, and the 2nd Division, it is still There is a big difference;
The reason why the 13th Division and the 16th Division are famous is that they are the most brutal, massacring cities at every turn, including the two "Hundred Killer" second lieutenants of the 16th Division. The civilians are more ferocious than anyone else. They are real beast troops. It would be best if such beasts can kill more in Sihang Warehouse.
At the Japs headquarters, Colonel Liangjiao, the old rival of the Lone Corps, was observing the Sihang Warehouse with a telescope. He saw that the warehouse was riddled with bullet marks, and the military flag on the roof was tattered and disfigured, but it was still fluttering in the wind tenaciously. .
"Umezawa-kun, I have inquired clearly. The defenders on the opposite side are the 88th Division Independent Battalion that previously wiped out my first battalion. Now it has been renamed the Lone Corps. The commander, Colonel Luo Ying, is an old friend of ours."
Lieutenant Commander Ryokkaku said coldly that he had high hopes for the Second Battalion, and it would be better to recruit a general than to provoke him, so he used Luo Ying's independent regiment to provoke him. As expected, Major Umezawa was fired, and immediately asked Ryokkaku Yezuo shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty Colonel, Major Nishikawa is a close friend of your subordinate. The First Battalion died tragically at the hands of Luo Ying's lone army. My Second Battalion requested to act as a vanguard and capture the Sixings Warehouse in one go to avenge the warriors of the First Battalion!"
This is what Liangjiao Zuozuo wanted, so he nodded with satisfaction and said: -
"Yoshi, there is no problem with Umezawa-kun's bravery in destroying the lone army. The first brigade is all newly recruited, so its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the second and third brigade, and the third brigade has not fought against the lone army. experience of;
So Umezawa-kun’s second team is the best choice!
Umezawa-kun, you should know that the lone army is not easy to fight. When they were only a battalion, they crippled the first group and caused a lot of casualties to your second group.
As for Luo Ying, a tough opponent, I asked someone to check his information before I came here. If I didn't check, I wouldn't know. Once I checked, I was shocked. It was not unjust that the First Brigade fell into his hands. "
Seeing that the captain was in a lively conversation, Major Umezawa said very cooperatively:
"Yo Xi, is there a story in this? I'm sorry that I'm ignorant, but I'd like to hear the details."
Ryogakusaku was very satisfied with Umezawa's cooperation, and said with a smile on his face:
"This is related to the reputation of the Navy Red Deer. Just listen to it. It can come out of my mouth and enter your ears. It must not be passed on to outsiders. It must save some face for the Navy Red Deer.
When Major Umezawa heard the joke about the Navy Red Deer, he immediately became very interested. There were few army officers who didn't like to see the Navy Red Deer be embarrassed. "
Seeing that Ryokkakakusaku had whetted Major Umezawa's appetite, he smiled and said:
"I wonder if you have heard the rumor that the two commanders of the Shanghai Special Marine Corps died in the same unit?"
Naturally, Major Umezawa has heard of it. It is said that good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Naturally, such a shameful feat of the Marine Corps quickly spread throughout the Army Officer Salon. Of course, officers of Umezawa’s level also heard about it in private. have been;
After hearing the hint from the captain, he understood immediately and asked in great shock:
"Your Excellency, you mean that this army is Luo Ying's lone army?"
Liangjiao Yezuo nodded sternly and said:
"To be precise, it should be called the 88th Division Independent Battalion. This is a very ferocious force. The commander Luo Ying is as cunning as a fox, as ferocious as a tiger, and as tough as a wolf. He is a very difficult opponent. What I am telling you is, I don’t want to make fun of the navy, but I want you to know what a difficult opponent you are about to face, and you must not take it lightly;
All the imperial soldiers who had slighted Luo Ying are now going to the Yasukuni Ghost Society to enjoy the incense of the people! "
Major Umezawa bowed carefully to Ryo Kakuzu, and then said loudly:
"Thank you for reminding me, I will go all out to eliminate all the isolated troops."
