In early November of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Longshan Military Camp of the Zhiheji Security Corps.

Today is a cold wind, and snowflakes fall gently in the sky from time to time.

Different from the silence outside, the Longshan military camp was noisy and lively. Teams of fully armed infantry emerged from the barracks and lined up on the playground led by the officers.

Armored tanks rumbled out of the warehouse, and there was a 105 howitzer hanging behind the 30 m3a1s of the armored commando.

About half an hour later, the playground of the entire Longshan Military Camp was filled with swords and guns, and chariots were lined up, with murderous intent.

Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo walked out of the regiment headquarters in brand new military uniforms surrounded by the guards and came to the temporary station on the playground.

After taking the stage, Qiao Anbang looked around and saw a group of fully armed soldiers standing on the playground. The officers and soldiers were energetic and arranged in a large square array, neatly arranged, and densely packed steel guns and bayonets made people excited and proud.

"Brothers, today the Japanese invaders have offended our China, killed our compatriots, humiliated our country, and plundered our land. At this time of national crisis, anti-Japanese patriots from all over the country have moved forward enthusiastically and sweared to resist to the death. Our security team cannot be left behind. Today, we are here to swear. From today on, all the soldiers of our security team must remember: one breath remains! The battle continues! Exit the Japanese invaders! Return my country and mountains!"

"Expel the Japanese invaders! Return my country and mountains!"

"Expel the Japanese invaders! Return my country and mountains!"

"Expel the Japanese invaders! Return my country and mountains!"

More than 5,000 security team soldiers raised their fists and shouted in unison!

"Set out!" Qiao Anbang nodded with satisfaction, and immediately waved his hand.

"Yes!" All the officers and soldiers agreed and immediately started boarding the train in an orderly manner under the leadership of battalion commanders of each battalion. After going to Nanjing for nearly three or four hundred kilometers, Qiao Anbang did not want his soldiers to walk hundreds of kilometers in the cold weather to join the war. In this way, when the troops arrived in Nanjing, they would probably be exhausted before they could fight the Japanese.

Therefore, he specially mobilized 200 military trucks to transport all infantry, plus the tractors and ammunition trucks of the artillery battalion of the baggage troops. The total number of trucks in the regiment has reached nearly 500.

Nearly half an hour later, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers were basically boarded. Zhang Xudong was ordered to lead the reconnaissance company to set out first. More than 20 m3a1 armored search vehicles and dozens of side tricycles drove out of the Longshan Military Camp first and took the first step in the iron-blooded journey of this steel hero.

The convoy drove out of the military camp in an orderly manner and slowly headed towards the southwest. The health team was at the end of all units, and the last one left the military camp. When all the vehicles had already left the military camp, Chu Yan quietly boarded the last truck.

The convoy of the vanguard reconnaissance company was forced to stop as soon as it reached the west gate of Zhiheji. Zhang Xudong, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, got off the car and saw that the entire west gate was full of people. The leader was the old man Qiao Siyuan and Qiao.

Zhang Xudong quickly ordered someone to notify Qiao Anbang.

"There are a large number of people in the west of the deputy city, which seems to be seeing us off!" The scout came to Qiao Anbang's car and stood attentively.

"What? Saying for farewell?" Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo asked while being surprised.

"Yes, it seems that the leader is Mr. Qiao." The scout replied with his head down.

The two brothers looked at each other, then pushed the door and got out of the car at the same time, and strode forward.

When I arrived in front of the convoy, I saw that the entire west gate was full of people. The crowd even filled the roads outside the city, and the city walls were full of people.

"Dad, second brother!" Qiao Anbang saw Qiao Siyuan and Qiao An's family in front of the crowd and hurried forward.

"Second, dad, why are you here? What's going on?" Qiao Anguo asked with confusion.

"Yes, why are there so many villagers in my dad?" Qiao Anbang looked at the people around him and asked.

"Anguo, Anbang, my father knows that you will send troops to fight against Japan today, so I will work with the whole city's fellow villagers to strengthen you! I hope you can kill more Japanese pirates on the battlefield and serve the country with loyalty!" Qiao Siyuan said sonorously.

"Dad!"; the two brothers felt sore on their noses and almost burst into tears.

"I think of our great China, with heroes emerging for thousands of years; all dynasties are extremely strong, and all the barbarians of the outside world bow down and submit to their subordinates. Now China is weak in modern times, but it is bullied by only Japanese pirates in the East. All Chinese children are really ashamed of our ancestors and ancestors!" Qiao Siyuan said this and said with a strong voice: "Bang'er, you must remember that this time we will send troops to fight against Japan, we will definitely show the majesty of our Chinese soldiers. Chinese men stand tall and stand tall, and are not afraid of the clown in the East! We will be with our fathers and our hometown elders, and wait for you to return with triumphant success!"

"Well, please don't worry, my father, I will fight for the enemy bravely, be loyal to the country, and be filial to the nation. As long as you have a breath, you will definitely fight to the end of the war!" Qiao Anbang was deeply moved and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Brother, third brother, the battlefield is unpredictable. You must take good care of yourself. My father and I are waiting for you to return triumphantly at home." Qiao An's family, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and said.

"Second brother, I will be virtuous if I go to fight against Japan this time. If I succeed, I will meet in my hometown. If I am unfortunate to die for the country, I will be virtuous for me and give my father a care for my old age!" Qiao Anbang said his heartfelt words.

"Okay, don't say these unlucky words! You and your elder brother must return safely. The three of us brothers will respect our father together and provide him with care for his old age and see him off." Qiao An said.

"Second, I'll leave you with the Longshan Military Camp and Factory. We've left you an infantry company. If the troops are insufficient, you can recruit some new recruits by yourself and expand your strength. You must protect the Longshan Military Camp and Factory." Qiao Anguo told seriously.

"Well, brother, don't worry. I will definitely protect the military camp and factory!" Qiao Anjia nodded and responded.

"Kings and drums are beating! We will strengthen our soldiers for our children!" Qiao Siyuan shouted loudly.

Some people holding suona, gong and drum, immediately began to play, and some people gave up firecrackers. Under Qiao Siyuan's leadership, the people stood on both sides of the road and made way for the security team.

"Self-loyal to serve the country, expel the Japanese invaders, and return my country!"

"Self-loyal to serve the country, expel the Japanese invaders, and return my country!"

Under the leadership of Zhang Xudong, more than a hundred soldiers from the reconnaissance company shouted loudly, which immediately resonated with the people present and the officers and soldiers of the regiment.

Amid the farewells of thousands of people, Qiao Anbang took all the officers and soldiers of the security team to officially go on the expedition.

The marching route formulated by Qiao Anbang in advance was that the troops set out from Zhiheji, went south to Mengcheng, Huaiyuan, Bengbu and other places to the north of Nanjing. However, due to heavy snowfall in the entire northern Anhui area, the roads were muddy and difficult to move, which brought great difficulties to the mechanized marching of the security regiment.

It took ten days for the security regiment to arrive at Chuzhou, less than a hundred miles away from Nanjing. At this time, the Battle of Songhu had completely ended, Shanghai was falling, and all the troops of the National Army were retreating towards Nanjing, and the prelude to the Nanjing defense battle had already begun.
