"Master, they all say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Now that the Japanese army has arrived at the city, even if our 52nd Division has limited strength, don't we still have the 190th Division and the troops directly under the military headquarters? What's more, the so-called full force Aren't the most capable regiment-level troops in the army also around us?" the chief of staff said.
"You mean the First Regiment of War Zone Guards?" Leng Xin looked at the chief of staff, with seriousness in his eyes.
"Yes." The chief of staff nodded, "No matter what, this unit is always the elite in the theater. Although the size of the unit is about a brigade, it has rich combat experience and well-equipped equipment. It should be a regiment to fight the Japanese army. There is no problem."
"Hey..." Leng Xin sighed, "Chief of Staff, you are still young. You don't understand many things, but I can understand them too. But there is one thing you must pay attention to."
"What's the problem?" The chief of staff frowned slightly.
"The First Regiment of the War Zone Guards is well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness. This is absolutely true. But don't forget, after all, this is also a war zone security force. If they don't want to move, we really can't move them. Even if they were beaten in front of the principal, they would still be justified." Leng Xin said in a deep voice.
"Why can't they be mobilized? In the face of war, didn't even the original German weapon divisions also join the battlefield? And the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps and other teams also joined the battle? Why can't the theater guard troops join the battle?" The chief of staff frowned slightly.
"Times have changed, Peng Yu. It is no longer the time to start the war. There are very few elites left in our army, especially the elite German weapons. However, it is true that Zhang Tianhai is also a person. We only received the German weapons and equipment during the Nanjing Defense War. Now, the troops have strengthened their posture and the number of soldiers has been enriched." Leng Xin said, "If it were another person, he might not have achieved this achievement... "
"Master, I can probably understand what you mean. In order to ensure that this unit can be effective at critical moments, the commander will not lend this unit to us for emergency use, right?" the chief of staff analyzed, Pengyu is his cousin.
Leng Xin nodded and said, "You can say that! The First Regiment of the Theater Guards has indeed made their mark in the northern Jiangxi region. More importantly, they have also made achievements in other battlefields, so as long as their regiment leader If they don’t want to, I’m afraid the principal won’t want to mobilize them before the opportunity comes.”
"Then we can only rely on our own strength to resist the Japanese attack...right?" the chief of staff said.
"It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. The war situation has not yet reached its most critical stage. Our division is fully prepared and there are still three main regiments of troops. If we fight the Japanese army to the death, we can still withstand it." Compared to the Chief of Staff. Although he was worried, the teacher Leng Xin seemed much calmer. After all, he had seen a lot about the storm.
Yes, in Leng Xin's opinion, the 25th Army, even excluding the severely damaged regiment, still has at least seven regiments of main troops. Counting the military-directed troops, that means there are still eight full regiments. The troops of the 25th Army are far from exhausted.
After dawn, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Xingzi County. The national army troops defended desperately in order to resist the rapid advance of the invaders.
Fierce shouts of killing filled the sky, and telegrams about the fierce fighting in Xingzi County were circulating everywhere.
Soon, the news was sent to the Second Corps Headquarters through the 25th Army Headquarters, and was quickly reported to the Theater Commander's Department from the Second Corps Headquarters.
"Sir, it seems that this little Japan can't keep calm..." Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the Ninth Theater District, walked up to Chen Cheng with a telegram and said.
Chen Cheng gently touched the bridge of his nose and said, "How is it? Is there any new news from the front line?"
"Indeed, the Japanese army has now taken action against Xingzi County, and Wang Jingjiu's 25th Army is now resisting the Japanese forward troops." Wu Yizhihui reported.
"Brother Xiqi, I want to know which Japanese army is attacking Xingzi County." Chen Cheng turned to look at Wu Yizhi and said.
"Sir, this is the 101st Division of the Japanese Army." Wu Yizhi reported truthfully.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Cheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said: "Even the 101st Division has entered the battle. It seems that this little Japanese is really anxious and wants to capture Wuhan in a short time? Do it? Go have a great spring and autumn dream!"
"So, from Jun Zuo's point of view, this is still good news?" Wu Yizhi asked Chen Cheng.
"Yes, this is definitely good news. The Japanese troops on the front line have basically been implicated by us. Why did they take out this underwhelming 101st Division and go into battle? The reason is that they are eager to think We are trying to break the deadlock in an attempt to capture Xingzi County and then threaten our army's flanks." Chen Cheng said excitedly, his eyes already turning to the military map in front of him.
Indeed, judging from the map, the location of Xingzi County is exactly on the right side of De'an.
At this stage, the 106th Division has been severely damaged by a series of fierce counterattacks by the four divisions of the Xue Yue Corps, and has basically retreated to the second line. If the 106th Division launches the next round of fierce attacks, Previously, if the 101st Division headquarters could not reach the vicinity, it was destined to return in vain.
"Brother Xiqi, you are the chief of staff. In some places, you should be much sharper than me. Our troops have basically been divided into several lines to fight on the De'an line, Nanxun line, and Jiujiang North line. The Japanese army is advancing. Now the Japanese army on the De'an line has been repelled, so that our troops on the Nanxun line do not have to expose their positions early. But the location of Xingzi County is crucial..." Chen Cheng said meaningfully.
"Indeed, on this point, Jun Zuo's idea coincides with his humble position. Our troops must drag them in Jiangxi, otherwise when they pass through Hunan, our life will be even more difficult." Wu Yizhi nodded. , "As for Xingzi County, Wang Jingjiu's 25th Army is guarding it, so there won't be much of a problem."
"That's for sure. Although Wang Jingjiu has resigned as the commander of the 71st Army, his ability to serve as the commander of the Ace Army cannot be underestimated. Although the 25th Army is a newly established unit , but they may not be able to defend this place. Give me a death order and you must defend Xingzi County, otherwise Wang Jingjiu will come to see me!" Chen Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Junzuo!" Wu Yizhi responded. He had already felt Chen Cheng's determination. This battle was inevitable!
Under the strict orders of the Ninth War Zone Commander's Headquarters, the outcome of the Xingzi County War was already doomed.

These days I have been busy with various national and provincial inspections. As a reluctant public servant, I work overtime and diligently all day long, but I don’t have enough energy. I am afraid that I will be jointly and severally responsible for mistakes in my work.
So I can only stop updating these days. I originally thought I could update normally, but that’s not the case. Sorry!
