When Meng Da was preparing for the wedding, the Japanese army began to march towards Hangzhou. Zhao Wenlong came to Kaihua County with an anxious look and said pleadingly: "My dear nephew, it is related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Hangzhou City. Tao Guang's
The army is defeated, you must lead the civilian army to protect Hangzhou!"
"There are so many troops in the Third War Zone, don't they know the importance of Hangzhou?" Meng Da didn't not send troops, but he didn't understand that the Kuomintang had so many troops not to protect the security of Zhejiang Province, which really made him unable to see through
.
"Hi! The jurisdiction of Gu Zhutong's third war zone includes southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, eastern Jiangxi and Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. The front stretches for 00 kilometers, and the contact area with the Japanese and puppet army defense areas is very large. Don't say he is incapable, even if he has him
I won’t give my all!” Zhao Wenlong had a sinister look on his face, he was already extremely disappointed with the army’s combat effectiveness.
Meng Da is in trouble. If the people's army sends troops, I am afraid that the suspicious Chiang Kai-shek will aggravate his suspicions. If the troops are used under the banner of Zhejiang police, there is no guarantee that they will not be incorporated by the National Government. He hesitated for a long time before telling the problem and asked Zhao Wenlong to explain it to him.
He came up with a good idea. The police chief burst out laughing when he heard it: "My dear nephew, this matter can be easily solved!"
"Oh?" Meng Da thought it was very troublesome and he didn't know the solution.
"The Hangzhou Municipal Government has made the decision for you. In order to ensure that Hangzhou is not occupied by the Japanese army, we have jointly submitted a petition asking the civilian army to dispatch." Zhao Wenlong smiled slyly. He knew that Meng Da understood the weight of it, and Principal Jiang would not lose the support of the people and become a refugee because of this.
military.
"How many people do our people's army have in the five counties around Hangzhou? Besides, you also know that their training time is too short. I'm afraid this battle will be very difficult!" Meng Da was very cautious, but he knew that troops must be sent.
"The people of Zhejiang still have the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice!" Zhao Wenlong said firmly: "Just fight, we will be responsible for all the aftermath."
"Okay!" Meng Da slammed his fist on the table, and a solid mahogany Eight Immortals table collapsed. Xia Langzhong looked at his son in fear, and Meng Da couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Wenlong laughed happily and joked to Xia Langzhong: "It's a good sign, I'll knock the little devil down with one punch!"
"I don't care whether there is a war or not, you must bring your daughter-in-law with you!" Xia Langzhong pushed Heidi forward without any doubt and said to Zhao Wenlong: "Who said loyalty and righteousness cannot be both good and evil? You cannot delay fighting the Japanese or having children."
"Good idea!" Zhao Wenlong smiled and bent over, casting a strange look at Meng Da.
"Dad, this is a bloody battle!" Meng Da felt embarrassed, marching and fighting with his wife, isn't this a joke?
"You are not a soldier, so you have to put your country first and take care of your family at the same time. Heidi, give dad some peace of mind, and I will be able to hold my grandson when you come back." Xia Langzhong chuckled and asked his son to go to war as soon as possible.
The troops were about to go on an expedition, and the folks from Kaihua County crowded outside the city gate to see them off. Fang Zhenshan led the independent division as the center army, and Lu Shijie led the cavalry as the vanguard. Meng Da took the wine bowl handed over by the county magistrate and drank it all in one gulp, with a sonorous and powerful voice.
He shouted: "Folks, if Hangzhou is not protected, it will be difficult to save Quzhou. In order to prevent our homeland from being occupied by the little devils and becoming slaves to the subjugation of the country, we will fight against the Japanese army!"
"Fight!" the villagers shouted loudly, waving their arms, and stuffed the food they prepared into the hands of the marching soldiers. Zhao Wenlong looked at the mighty and majestic troops excitedly, and he never expected that the civilian army's equipment was so good!
"My father spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for this army." Meng Da said with emotion as he watched the artillery regiment and the anti-aircraft artillery and air defense battalions set off one after another.
"These weapons -" Zhao Wenlong was astonished. Needless to say, the artillery regiment, especially the four anti-aircraft guns and twelve anti-aircraft machine guns, were completely unequipped.
"These were thrown down by the defense troops of the weapons and ammunition depot. When the Chairman of the Generalissimo asked the troops to blow up these things, I forced them to stay." Meng Da told the story of the defeat of the Japanese army. If these things were not there, it would be difficult.
Dealing with little devils.
"The scorched earth is fighting the war. How can we fight the war if we destroy all our belongings?" Zhao Wenlong knew that this was Chiang Kai-shek's bad idea. The destruction of the bridge only slowed down the pace of the Japanese attack. Could it be that the houses and other things could not be moved back to the island country?
There were nearly 20,000 soldiers and thousands of vehicles of various types on the expedition. Especially the artillery regiment towing the vehicles roared away, shocking the people of Kaihua County. Zhao Wenlong and Xia Langzhong, the county magistrate, shook hands and said goodbye, got on their horses and said to Meng Da: "
Let's go?"
"Let's go!" Meng Da took the war horse from Zhang Shun, picked up Heidi and flew off.
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed happily. They all knew that this foreign girl was Meng Da's fiancée, but they never expected that the two of them were so cheerful.
"Did you miss me?" Seeing Mengda treating her like this, Heidi couldn't help but lay in his arms and asked.
"I was thinking about what you and Crazy Qiu planned." Meng Da chuckled, deliberately making the little woman happy.
"Pfft!" Heidi smiled. She said quietly: "It's been a year before I know it."
"Yeah, life flies by so fast!" Meng Da recalled the night three years ago when he and Qiu Qingquan were drinking, and Heidi came in to pour wine for the two of them. He was so drunk that when he woke up
I found a beauty lying in my arms.
Heidi really fell in love with Meng Da, but she knew that Meng Da would not dare to take her home privately without the Xia family's elders speaking up. The clever girl simply ran to Kaihua County alone and begged Mr. Xia and his wife to let Meng Da marry her.
As a wife, thinking of the torturous waiting these days, she moved closer to her husband's arms: "I will give you a son!"
"Hahahaha!" Mengda sneezed and laughed, pointing to the sky and saying: "This has to be decided by Grandma Zi and the Jade Emperor! Remember, you are my wife, and I will still treat you sincerely even if I don't have a son!"
The troops were advancing at full strength. Lu Shijie led the cavalry to go straight to Hangzhou day and night. However, the Japanese army had already begun to attack the north gate. The police force suffered serious casualties due to Japanese aircraft bombing and artillery fire. The cavalry finally arrived in time, ignoring Lu who was resting.
Shijie pulled out the box cannon and shouted loudly: "Brothers, keep the little devil back!"
"kill!"
The little Japanese were attacking the fortifications outside the city, and were dumbfounded when they saw the cavalry galloping over. With the lightning speed of chasing the wind and the intensive firepower of twenty-gun box guns, the Japanese army could no longer attack the north gate. Lu Shi
Jie cleverly mixed the troops with the Japanese army. The Japanese aircraft in the sky could only stare at the Imperial Japanese Army falling in blood one by one.
"Baga!" The Japanese army relied on their air and artillery advantages. When attacking, they first used aircraft and artillery to attack the position, and then began to charge under the cover of machine guns. The 114th Regiment of the 18th Division Fukuoka had sparks in its eyes, and it was about to
After conquering Hangzhou, such a mighty army suddenly came over!
"Colonel, our troops are finished!" Yazaki watched one of his troops fall in front of the position for a moment, put down his telescope feebly and howled.
"Reinforcements are coming!" All the police on the city wall stood up and shouted. They finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the militia came, the city of Hangzhou would be able to block the Japs' attack.
"Retreat!" The cavalry showed their majesty in the first battle. Lu Shijie did not dare to stop for a long time. He waved his arm and ordered the troops to separate and retreat quickly. However, the Japanese aircraft finally seized the opportunity and swooped down to shoot the evacuating cavalry with machine guns.
"Hit them with machine guns!" When Lu Shijie saw that the Japanese air force was entangled with the cavalry, he was so angry that he ordered to shoot into the sky.
"Boom, boom—"
Suddenly, a deafening sound of artillery was heard outside the south gate of Hangzhou, and then bursts of flashing ballistic missiles were fired at the planes in the sky. The little Japanese pilot was so shocked that he couldn't avoid it and fell headlong to the ground. The other two planes saw that the other plane was there.
Despite the anti-aircraft fire, he climbed into high altitude and escaped.
"Baga!" Yazaki cursed angrily again. He already understood that Hangzhou's reinforcements were very powerful, and I'm afraid they would suffer a big loss in this battle!
The towed artillery truck quickly arrived outside the north gate. Fang Zhenshan did not wait for all the artillery fire to be in place, and began to order the artillery bombardment against the Japanese. The sky was bright with flames and thick smoke filled the air. Each artillery shell painted a beautiful light and went straight to the Japanese barracks.
Yazaki was buried in the rubble by intensive artillery fire. The other Japanese soldiers hurriedly opened it with their hands, and the two of them fled behind the captain.
"Pursue!" When Lu Shijie saw that the enemy was defeated, he ordered the cavalry to pursue the Japanese army. Zhao Wenlong and Mayor Zhou Xiangxian watched this scene excitedly. They burst into tears and held each other's hands but could not say a word.
"Open the city gate, clean the battlefield, replace the brothers from the police station, and send them to our field hospital for treatment." Meng Da rushed over and saw that the Japanese army had retreated. He hurriedly asked the independent division to start stationing fortifications to prepare to resist another Japanese attack.
"Open the city gate!" Fang Zhenshan glared at the communications company commander and asked deputy division commander Gao Hao to personally lead a group to set up defenses.
"Mighty division, mighty division!" Zhou Xiangxian was excited. He had seen countless soldiers, but he had never seen such a mighty civilian army. Especially the special agent battalion, guard battalion and other troops led by Meng Da, from equipment to appearance
admirable.
"Nephew, are you a division?" Zhao Wenlong looked at the militia troops and realized that one division of the Independent Division had already exceeded the number of men in Tao Guang's two divisions.
"Type A division!" Meng Da smiled indifferently and said to Fang Zhenshan: "Master, I will give you command of the North Gate battlefield. Divide the third regiment into three parts and take over the defense of the other three gates as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Fang Zhenshan replied simply, walked down the city wall and began to make the overall layout.
"I have prepared the city defense headquarters for you." Zhao Wenlong saw that Meng Da had not moved and reminded him in a low voice.
"Let Master Fang sit at the headquarters. I must stay and observe the situation of the Japanese army." Meng Da knew that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. He did not have time to go to the headquarters and must arrange defense issues properly.
"I feel relieved to have a leading general like you!" Zhou Xiangxian looked at Meng Da gratefully and shouted to Zhao Wenlong: "Director Zhao, let's hurry up and prepare food and supplies. Let's prepare the logistics while they fight."
Zhao Wenlong nodded and said to Meng Da cautiously: "Tonglu, Yuhang, Lin'an, Jiande, Fuyang, and Chun'an counties cannot be lost. You must find a way for me!"
"You want me to protect so many places?" Meng Da was frightened. Once the troops are divided, it will be difficult to block the Japs' attack.
"Do you want the little devils to besiege you in Hangzhou City?" Zhao Wenlong stared and shouted loudly: "The Japanese have withdrawn, and we people cannot leave. The civilian army must be responsible for protecting them!"
