It's just that the Chairman made a little miscalculation, not to mention Wang Gui, Xu Hailang and other high-level members of the Huben Group would rather die than betray Yang Chen.

Even those new recruits who had just joined the Huben Regiment were infected by Yang Chen's charisma, and it was absolutely impossible and would not betray Yang Chen because of fame and fortune.

Because they are all true loyal men, and those veterans have followed Yang Chen through life and death, and have gone through countless bloody battles.

The friendship between each other has long gone beyond the scope of officers and subordinates.

The love of life and death tempered by the baptism of war is definitely not something that can be shaken by things outside of the body such as money and status.

In the words of the veterans of the Huben regiment, for the sake of the regiment, they would even give up their lives.

How could he betray him for money and fame?

Those who have never experienced war will never understand the special relationship between soldiers and robes that can trust each other with life and death, and defend it with their lives.

Chapter 682 Susumu Fujita's Intent

After listening to the telegram, Yang Chen smiled and said: "The chairman's wishful thinking is really good, give me some rewards, let us stick to Zhoukou, and buy time for his direct troops to transfer!"

"Tuan Zuo, what do you mean, there will be no reinforcements coming from Zhoukou?" Wang Gui said.

"It's not necessarily that there will be no reinforcements, but since the little devil dared to sneak attack Zhoukou, he must have made perfect preparations.

Maybe the front line of Lanfeng has already been attacked by the main force of the Japanese army.

At that time, even if the fifth theater and the first theater want reinforcements, they will be powerless!" Yang Chen pointed to the battle map and analyzed.

"Since the Japanese already know that Zhoukou is now guarded by our Huben Regiment, they will definitely mobilize heavy troops to attack us.

In the Battle of Shanghai, Nanjing, and later the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army in Central China was almost invincible and did not suffer any setbacks.

This battle came with the prestige of victory, and it was far from being easy to deal with by the Japanese army in North China. "Wang Gui first made some analysis, and then said: "Tuan Zuo, what should we do? Should we withdraw or defend?"

Everyone didn't speak, but looked at Yang Chen in unison, obviously waiting for him to make a decision.

"Of course we must guard, even if it is not for the chairman and the national government, for the tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, we must not give up Zhoukou easily.

Besides, fleeing without fighting is not my style of Huben Group!

The little devils want to invade the Central Plains, so they have to pay a price no matter what!" Yang Chen said decisively.

"Tuanzuo is right. It's not that easy for a kid to enter the Central Plains!" Li Jiufu was the first to nod in agreement.

"I'm afraid the devils came prepared this time, and we need to make more preparations!" Sun Cheng, the battalion commander of the supply battalion, said worriedly: "We just recruited in Xuzhou not long ago, and there is also a Zhoukou security team. These are more than 2000 soldiers.

We are still relatively abundant in terms of military strength, and the only shortage is that the combat effectiveness of soldiers is slightly weaker.

I think the little devil will definitely do his best this time in order to deal with my tiger group.In addition to countless infantry, there must be a lot of artillery and tank soldiers.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

If we can find a way to strengthen our own firepower, then we won't be too passive in the next battle. "

Zhang Dali, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, immediately echoed: "I agree with this! Commander, haven't we used 155-caliber howitzers before?

That power is not a bit stronger than this 105 caliber howitzer.

Can you make a few more doors?

You don’t need too much, there are ten doors and eight doors, and it’s almost enough! "

Although Zhang Dali's words were half-joking, he didn't think it would really happen.

But Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully: "Well, this proposal is very good, I will find a way to come up with ten or twenty doors!"

As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, there was a harsh roar of an airplane engine outside.

Before the few of them could react, the sound of aerial bombardment and the roaring and strafing of airborne machine guns came one after another.

Yang Chen led the crowd and ran out of the headquarters one after another.

In the sky, at least more than 50 Devil fighter planes were carrying out almost carpet-like bombing of Zhoukou County.

Yang Chen immediately gave them an order: "You all go back to your respective posts. Since the little devil has sent a plane, it means that the infantry is not far away, so we must beware of the little devil's sneak attack.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and immediately left with their guards, braving the devil's air attack.

……

Fortunately, because the main forces of the 3rd and 9th Divisions of the Japanese Army have not yet arrived, the devil's air strike was just a simple retaliatory bombing.

After about half an hour, the Devil fighter planes returned one after another, ending the air strike.

A dilapidated county town full of collapsed houses, flames and smoke was left behind.

However, at this time, the main battalions of the Huben regiment were basically pulled outside the city.

In the east and south of the city, the construction of field ring fortifications began.

These positions are all based on Zhoukou County, because this will be the main battlefield for the battle with the Japanese army.

In addition to more than 2000 deserters from the Zhoukou Security Regiment, thousands of ordinary people in the Zhoukou area also joined the rush to repair the fortifications.

These people, who were used to doing coolie farm work, came spontaneously now to defend their homeland.

In this way, the efficiency of building fortifications was greatly improved at once.

In the evening of the same day, the main forces of the 6th and 9th Divisions of the Japanese Army arrived at the boundary of Zhoukou successively.

After the confluence of the two units, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, Nakasho Fujita, immediately joined forces with the commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke, to form a joint headquarters.

Prepare to unify the command of the two divisions and attack Zhoukou.

In the headquarters, devils gathered stars.

Ji Jialiangfu, the old devil, was the first to speak: "Fujita-kun, the Heavy Artillery Brigade will not arrive at Zhoukou until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Should we wait, or attack now?"

Fujita Jin glanced at Yoshika Ryosuke, and asked without answering, "I don't know, what do you think, Yoshika-kun?"

"From the information provided by the special high-level class, it can already be proved that the enemy army in Zhoukou is Yang Chen's Huben Regiment. This point has also been confirmed by Commander Hata Junliu.

The combat effectiveness of this army has been demonstrated in the previous Shanxi battlefield and Xuzhou battlefield.

My North China Imperial Army has suffered big losses at its hands more than once.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, it has successively created the great shame and humiliation of our Imperial Japanese Army since it entered China.
