There are too many people among them who can't even eat, so there is no shortage of soldiers.
Especially with Yang Chen's prestige at the top of the sky and the unique appeal of the Huben group in the world.
When it was learned that the Huben regiment planned to recruit troops, there was almost a spectacular scene of thousands of people coming to vote.
It didn't even need the Huben Regiment to set up a conscription point, and thousands of people flocked directly to the Huben Regiment's garrison.
Yang Chen sent out several battalion commanders under his command, but they were still too busy.
It is really that the enthusiasm of the people in Xuzhou to join the army is too high, far exceeding his expectations.
In less than a day, more than 5000 qualified recruits were recruited.
In this way, the strength of the entire Huben regiment even surpassed that when it first came to Xuzhou.
However, these are all recruits with no military training.
Whether it is combat effectiveness or combat quality, it is far from being comparable to the veterans of the Huben regiment.
Therefore, although the strength of the Huben Regiment has been supplemented, its combat effectiveness has not been improved immediately.
After all the battalions had replenished their sources of troops, they entered into the training in full swing.
Because Yang Chen knew that the war was not over, it had even just begun, and the Huben regiment would inevitably go to the front line again.
Therefore, he must race against time to increase the fighting power of the Huben regiment.
It is worth mentioning that after two days of training and investigation, Yang Chen transferred more than 60 elite veterans and recruits with great potential from the regiment, and added them to the Dragon Soul Special Forces Brigade.
The number of special operations brigade has reached more than 120 people, which is about the same size as a company.
Of course, they are just as a reserve team.
Only after the training has reached Yang Chen's expectations and he can take the quenching body pills can he truly become a member of the Dragon Soul Special Battle Brigade of the Huben Regiment.
……
Just when the Huben Regiment replenished its source of troops and began to rest and drill, it was hoped that the new recruits would run in with the veterans as soon as possible to form effective combat effectiveness.
On the battlefield on the southern section of the Jinpu Railway, as expected, the Japanese army in Central China successively captured Bengbu, Huai'an and other places.
The Huaihe defense line of the national army is being stormed.
Occupying a favorable terrain and an absolute superiority in strength, the defense line of the national army is fairly solid.
At least it would not be so easy for the little devil to tear apart the defense line of the national army so easily.
However, Nakajima Kojiro, who had been ordered by Kawabe Shozo to lead several small elite troops to infiltrate the Huaihe and Huaihe areas, was doing things in the rear of the national army one after another.
Kojiro Nakajima first led this elite Japanese ranger to attack many military warehouses behind the national army positions, blowing up a lot of military supplies
And attack the national army's logistics traffic lines, field hospitals and other non-combat troop targets everywhere.
As a result, the head and tail of the national army north of the Huaihe River could not look after each other, and people were panicked.In chaos, the defense line was finally broken by the Japanese army.
After the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the Huaihe River, they immediately marched northward, attacking Huaibei, Suxian, Suqian, Yingzhou and other places.
……
Chapter 656 The situation has taken a turn for the worse!
Xuzhou.
Fifth Theater Command.
General Li Delin's face became extremely serious. The current situation on the battlefield south of Xuzhou was exactly as Yang Chen had predicted, and the Huai River moat still failed to stop the Japanese attack.
Now the Japanese army is rushing towards Xuzhou with an unstoppable momentum.
"Jiansheng, what do you think we should do? Now the Central China Japanese army has dispatched five or six divisions, and more than 10 troops have broken through our Huaihe defense line.
The main soldiers are splitting up and marching towards Xuzhou separately, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us!" General Li Delin said to Bai Jiansheng with a worried expression on his face.
"At the moment, we can only take one step at a time. If necessary, we can transfer the Huben Regiment and the 74th Army to Huainan to prevent the Japanese army from going north!" General Bai Jiansheng knew that Xuzhou would fall sooner or later, but it was not too late to hold on when.
He wouldn't take the initiative to propose a retreat. It would be bad if the Chairman blamed himself for losing Xuzhou.
General Li Delin also understood General Bai Jiansheng's worries, so he sighed: "At present, this is the only way to go!"
……
A few days later, Yang Chen led the Huben regiment to rest and train in Xuzhou for 10 days.
The new recruits trained hard. Although they can't catch up with the veterans now, they still have a certain combat effectiveness.
At this time, the Japanese army in central China had already entered the city of Su County, which was less than 300 miles away from Xuzhou.
The situation in Xuzhou suddenly became precarious.
Because if this continues, it won't be long before the Central China Japanese army will be able to approach Xuzhou City and attack Xuzhou together with the 114th, 5th, and 14th Divisions.
General Li Delin was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately sent the 74th Army and Huben Regiment to the south to reinforce Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and Liu Shiyi's 31st Army.
however.
Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.
Just when Yang Chen led the troops to go south under the order and just left the border of Xuzhou.
The 16th Division of the Japanese Army marched northward by sea and went up along the Yellow River. Under the leadership of its acting division commander Sasaki and a major general, they suddenly marched and raided Lanfeng.
Gui Yongqing and others who were stationed in the Lanfeng area ignored the righteousness of the country and the nation and fled without a fight, which caused the Japanese army to easily occupy this strategic location on the Longhai Railway.
Cut off the Longhai Railway in an instant.
It also ruined the great situation north of Xuzhou!
The most important thing is that after the Japanese army captured Lanfeng.
From a strategic perspective, the North China Japanese Army, the Central China Front Army, and the 114th Division entrenched in Lianyungang have formed a four-sided encirclement of Xuzhou.
If Lanfeng is not recaptured as soon as possible, hundreds of thousands of troops on the Xuzhou battlefield will be encircled by the Japanese army, and the consequences will be disastrous.
At the same time, it also exposed the strategic ambition of the Japanese army to encircle and encircle and annihilate the main force of the Fifth Theater in Xuzhou.
The chairman of the committee who was far away in Wuhan couldn't help being surprised when he got the news.
After discussing with Chen Cixiu, He Jingzhi and others, it was decided to order Li Delin to lead the fifth war zone to immediately start preparations and abandon Xuzhou to retreat.
