Started as a security team, developed into a heavy armored synthesis division

In Xiao Dingfang's memory, the fall of Anqing was achieved through coordinated operations by the navy, army and air force.

That is to say, after the fall of Shucheng, the Sakai Detachment of the Japanese Army went south and cooperated with the navy's ships and aircraft to capture Anqing.

Now, the Sakai Detachment was blocked on the road. Not only did it fail to move south, but it also lost a regiment.

However, Anqing still fell, and the Japanese army still did not encounter any resistance or counterattack during the process, which directly caused the Wuhan National Government to lose this important barrier.

Luo Chuliu felt heartbroken about this, because it was their Sichuan Army that was defending Anqing, and this was a disgrace to them.

However, Xiao Dingfang didn't feel anything about this, and it was difficult for him to say anything, because no one could tell what the specific situation of the Sichuan Army stationed in Anqing was, not even Xiao Dingfang.

After all, it was someone else's army, accepting other people's orders. In addition, given the special status of the Sichuan Army, there were inevitably some tricks and shady operations.

Therefore, Xiao Dingfang did not think much about it. The key point was to improve his Tiger Mountain and build up his Moon Mountain base.

However, two days later, the National Army's Military Intelligence Bureau gradually obtained information that the Inoki Regiment had disappeared, and ordered nearby troops to fully investigate the whereabouts of the Inoki Regiment.

After all, the other side is a squadron. What if this squadron suddenly appears from somewhere? Wouldn’t that be bad?

So just like that, Xiao Dingfang annihilated...

Uh, no, it was a regiment of the Central Army! The intelligence about the annihilation of the Inoki Regiment and the seizure of the Inoki Regiment flag was dug out and soon placed on the principal's desk.

At this time, he was still angry about the fall of Anqing, and when he was told that there was good news, he simply couldn't believe it.

"What? You said that Xiao Dingfang annihilated an enemy regiment and seized the regiment's flag?"

He asked as he picked up the telegram in disbelief.

"Yes, after Xiao Dingfang's troops killed Major General Nakajima Man in Sanbing Town, they evacuated Sanbing Town in time and stationed at Laohushan in Lujiang County, a hundred kilometers away.

Then they recruited new soldiers on the spot, and now their number is close to 3000.

In the battle of Zhangjiagoudi, they took advantage of the terrain and some mountain artillery captured in Sanbing Town to trap more than 4000 Japanese soldiers in the depression, making it impossible for the Japanese troops to deploy, and thus completely annihilate them. "

The speaker described it vividly, as if he was personally commanding the battle.

As for the 155mm and 105mm cannons, Luo Chuliu did not mention it in the telegram. Well, Xiao Dingfang did not allow it. He only said that the artillery used were several mountain cannons captured in the battle of Sanbing Town.

Nonsense, if the 155 cannon and the 105 cannon were to explode, he would either be transferred to Wuhan or sent to attack Hefei.

Or they could just hand over the weapons and send them to Wuhan, under the pretext of fighting the war!

Are you kidding? That's a 155mm cannon, something that even his German-equipped division doesn't have.

Only the Central Army's reorganized 24th Mechanized Artillery Regiment had 150 mm howitzers.

Now your entire infantry regiment needs to be equipped with 155mm cannons?

You are infantry, infantry. Why do you want an infantry regiment equipped with heavy artillery? Do you want to go to heaven?

Now, under the protection of Luo Chuliu, Xiao Dingfang only has a few mountain cannons in his hands, and he doesn't take it seriously.

He even wishes you had a few more mountain cannons so that he could fight more beautiful battles for him and bring honor to the Central Army.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Dingfang chose a good position.

Tiger Mountain directly cuts off the center line of the Anhe Highway, so the Japanese army cannot communicate with each other from north to south, which relieves a lot of pressure on our soldiers on the north bank of the Yangtze River. "

"Yes, this place has a favorable terrain backed by the remaining range of Dabie Mountains. Tiger Mountain is like a nail that pierces directly into the mouth of the Japanese army.

This place is a strategic location.”

"Yes, that's right, this place must be defended.

And Tiger Mountain, Tiger Mountain, hi, this name is not bad either!"

Having said that, he turned around and ordered domineeringly:

"Order, Xiao Dingfang's unit of the 3rd Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the Central Army must hold the Tiger Mountain defense line.

They want to cut off the Japanese army's Anhe Highway traffic line like a tiger, and relieve the pressure on our main battlefield along the Yangtze River.

In short, as long as we are at the battlefield, we will live and die with it!"

"Yes, the chief is wise."

The man came to flatter, but after the flattery, he lowered his head and asked carefully:

"However, Xiao Dingfang's Third Regiment annihilated a Japanese regiment and also seized the regiment's flag. What kind of reward do we need to give them?"

"Ok?"

When it comes to rewards, he was stunned for a moment. Yes, with such a great contribution, it seems that he deserves a reward.

So he said, “Well, rewards are a must.

However, Xiao Dingfang had just annihilated a Japanese regiment, so he certainly had no shortage of weapons and equipment.

As for troops, Lujiang, Daguan and Tongcheng areas had not yet fallen, so he could recruit as many soldiers as he wanted.

How about this, to reward Xiao Dingfang's troops for their heroic fighting, let the Ministry of Finance take out 5 silver dollars as a reward."

After these words came out, the visitor's eyes rolled, and then he said awkwardly:

“The war situation on the front line is tense now, and the Ministry of Finance cannot come up with so much money.

And there is another point, that is, now Hefei, Shucheng, Anqing and other places have fallen, and our army's land transportation to Tiger Mountain has been cut off. Even if we want to send silver dollars, there is no way to reach Tiger Mountain. "

Hearing this, he immediately became angry, raised his hand and started to curse:

"Look, look at them, the Sichuan Army.

A regiment of our Central Army can completely wipe out an entire Japanese regiment and kill a major general.

What about their Sichuan Army? They can’t even defend Anqing. What about the military pay and weapons I gave them? Are they just using them as firewood?

I think what Yan Laoxi said about them being beggars is absolutely correct. They are really useless!"

Hearing this, the visitor lowered his head and said nothing. He really wanted to say: In the Battle of Xinkou during the Battle of Taiyuan, two divisions of your Central Army were defeated by an enemy regiment. What do you say about this?

Of course, he would not say these at the moment. Saying this in front of the other party would be courting death. He would also be playing a double act with the other party.

So the visitor smiled and asked, "What about the 5 silver dollar reward?"

In this regard, he could only sigh: "There is no other way, I can only inconvenience Comrade Xiao Dingfang.

Let’s say that now that Anqing has fallen and the fighting on the front is tense, we can no longer worry about the Tiger Mountain defense line. We will just keep the 5 ocean reward and make up for it later.

I hope Comrade Xiao Dingfang will continue to work hard to defend the Tiger Mountain defense line, contribute to the Battle of Wuhan, and fight for the great cause of our party and country! "

"Yes!"

Just like that, with the cooperation of the two, Xiao Dingfang not only did not get any rewards such as weapons and equipment, but even the pitiful 5 oceans were lost.

Are you kidding? If you don't reward me at that time, you still hope that I will give you a share later? You are dreaming.

But there is no way around it, since Xiao Dingfang is just a grassroots.

If he had any connection with Huangpu, even if his grades were so poor that he couldn't graduate, Wuhan would definitely reward him generously and drop him off across the ocean.

Unfortunately, Xiao Dingfang is a pure grassroots.

In his opinion, being able to promote the other party from the position of a security corps commander to a regiment commander of the Central Army was already a great blessing.

In the face of this great gift, it is your duty to wipe out an entire regiment of the Japanese invaders.

"By the way, we must send a telegram immediately about our Central Army completely annihilating a Japanese regiment.

We must send a telegram to the whole country, so that the people of the country and the people of the world can see the brilliant achievements of our Central Army. "

"Yes."
