"This time the time is tight and the mission is heavy. When our Fourth Division was resting, we delayed the attack time ordered by the column headquarters. This time, I will rely on you."

Shen Yi remained silent for a long time after hearing this. The ten regiments of the Fourth Division had all experienced war, and it was only a matter of time before they could sweep across the Peiping-Tianjin area. However, he was not sure whether they could capture Peiping-Tianjin within the time set by the column commander.

Bo Guangbai looked at the silent Shen Yi and knew his concerns. He patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, there are not only the 10 regiments of the 4th Division participating in the battle this time, but also the 6 regiments of the 3rd Division. The 5th Division is advancing in the Pingjin area, with a total of 300,000 people."

Hearing this, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This way he felt more confident. At least he would have mobile forces at hand.

"Boss Bai, I feel relieved when you say that. If there are only ten regiments, the soldiers will be very tired because they can't take turns fighting in the continuous battles."

Bo Guangbai chuckled and said to him teasingly, "Comrade Shen Yi's worries are reasonable, but don't worry, the five independent regiments of the Fourth Division are already on standby at the front line, serving as your general reserve."

Shen Yi was overjoyed and complained to Bo Guangbai: "Boss Bai, it's boring to chat like this."

"Hahahaha" As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, the two of them laughed at each other.

When the laughter died down, Bo Guangbai said solemnly, "There is another reason why I asked you to lead ten regiments north this time, which is to buy time for the Fourth Division to reorganize five ace regiments. The Northeast is different from the interior. We need a strong enough army to protect our border!"

Looking at Bo Guangbai's serious face, Shen Yi immediately understood what he meant and quickly responded: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Bo Guangbai was about to say something when he heard the guard outside the door rushing in to report: "Boss Bai, Boss Shen, 102 is here."

The two were shocked when they heard the words, then ran out of the command center with smiles on their faces to greet them.

As soon as they arrived at the command center, they saw 102 getting off his horse. The two of them hurriedly went up to salute: "Hello, Chief!"

102 looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Master Bai, will you mind my sudden visit?"

Bo Guangbai smiled and said sincerely, "It is a great honor for our Fourth Division to have you here, Commander. Please come in, please come in."

The guards urged the three of them to enter the headquarters. 102 looked down and saw the letter of appointment that Shen Yi had placed aside. He turned around and looked at Shen Yi and asked, "This is the captain of the Luyu Corps, Comrade Shen Yi, right?"

Shen Yi nodded and replied, "Commander, it's me."

"Good! Good! A hero emerges from youth!" Looking at the childish Shen Yi, 102 praised.

"I took a look at the order issued by your commander this time. Although it can be seen from it that he cares about the people in the occupied areas, the pressure on you is still too great."

"I have read Commander Xiao's telegram of March 3. Commander Xiao's words in the telegram are too harsh. Your Fourth Division has been fighting in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Shandong for more than a month. It is totally unacceptable for a tired division to rush north without resting and replenishing troops."

"Moreover, the Central Committee has also issued an order to our Ludong Military Region, asking me to lead 100,000 cadres to the north to provide logistics for your division."

"When we get to the Northeast, we will have to work together for a long time, so I came to see you today because I haven't explained to you the problem with Zhang Ziyong before."

102 sat there calmly and spoke, and the two of them also sat there and listened attentively. When they heard that they would work with 102 again in the Northeast, they were instantly overjoyed.

You have to know that in the entire Jiaodong front-line battle, if the 102nd Division had not done the work in the rear, the th Division would not have been able to expand to troops in such a short period of time, and would not have been able to turn the initial disadvantage in troop strength into a one-to-one strength match with the Japanese.

And from the history they are familiar with, they can understand that without 102, there would be no million-strong army.

"We are deeply honored to work with the leader," said Bo Guangbai.

"The issue of Zhang Ziyong should be handled by the commander. After all, we are military personnel and it is not appropriate for us to interfere in political affairs."

"This time, the progress to the north still depends on you."

...

Outside Yanmen Pass, the officers' corps had been fighting fiercely with the Japanese invaders for an entire night.

Watching the Japanese retreat, Yishui Xiaoxiao also spat and ordered Zhanlongxi: "Notify the division headquarters and ask them to lure up all the idle officers. I want these Japanese to know that when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, grandpa is their ancestor."

It's no wonder that Yishui Xiaoxiao was so angry. Night combat and hand-to-hand combat have always been our traditional skills. I didn't expect that this group of Japs took advantage of the cover of darkness to sneak into the position of the Third Battalion last night and caught the Third Battalion off guard.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the Yishui people sent out the second battalion as a reserve. The two sides fought fiercely for a whole night before defeating the Japanese.

In the positions built by the players based on the terrain, corpses were piled up layer upon layer, and the rainwater mixed with blood in the trenches was high enough to cover people's ankles. This time the players really showed their blood and strength.

Zhan Long Xi sighed softly. He knew that with the advantage of the officer corps, there was no need to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese. But now everyone was angry and was ready to crush the morale of the Japanese here.

"I will contact the principal and ask for their opinions, but I suggest that we use our regiment's allowance to recruit a group of players from Cang County in northern Hebei and other martial arts schools. After all, we have been at peace for a long time, and many people don't know how to fight with weapons anymore."

"Okay, you draft the telegram and I'll sign it."

......

Principal Hu, who was studying in northern Shaanxi, felt a headache after receiving a telegram signed jointly by the officers' corps and the four brigades. Their previous idea was that the railway engineering troops would go up and annihilate these Japanese devils with superior firepower.

But no one expected that after the officers' corps was sent to delay the Japanese attack, they suddenly became furious and one after another clamored to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

Principal Hu was very much in favor of the front-line's decision. After thinking about it, he called together the players of the reorganized division to discuss the matter.

When Bai Cang heard the decision made by the frontline, he asked in surprise: "Hand-to-hand combat? Are they crazy? We have an absolute advantage in firepower. As long as there is enough time and supplies, they can slowly eat away at the group of devils. The loss of hand-to-hand combat is too great. I don't agree!"

"Hand-in-hand combat has always been a fine tradition of our army. Now I'm stating that I agree to the application for the front-line position. Besides, even if we don't agree, they still have ways to recruit players, right?" Xingxingdiandian held a different opinion.

As soon as Xingxingdiandian finished speaking, the two people in the room fell silent. The officers of the Chen Hubai Corps were their real backbone and they all made a living by the salaries given to them by their superiors.

In order to compensate them, half of the merits of the officer corps would be left to them, so that if any of them encountered an emergency and urgently needed funds, they could exchange a few inner places for cash for emergency use.
