In Xuzhou, the third batch of elite Sichuan troops dispatched by Liu Xiang have also arrived here, and have successfully obtained approval to proceed inside the city.
However, the commander who brought the troops to Xuzhou was not the four capable generals under Commander Liu Xiang, Pan Wenhua, Tang Shizun, Wang Lingji, and Wang Zuanxu.
It was a newly promoted commander named Chen Youde.
He had never heard of a figure in history, but he was the most capable officer among the elite Sichuan troops who had been carefully reorganized. This was why Commander Liu Xiang fell in love with him.
This time Liu Xiang handed over all 5,000 elite Sichuan troops to him to lead them to Xuzhou, in order to hand them over to He Feiyang, who was still fighting in the capital, to lead them to continue killing the Japanese invaders to the end.
As for Commander Liu Xiang, it was because after Chairman Chang arrived in Chongqing, he had been lowering his moral standards. He even wanted to withdraw from the world, not care about worldly affairs, want to take good care of himself in old age, and live a good and comfortable life.
’s approach.
This was completely different from his previous ambitious ideas.
But for him, no matter what the final choice was, he was still focused on how to fight against the Japanese aggressors and protect his family and country.
So the elite Sichuan troops who went to Xuzhou this time were all carefully selected by him.
And this time, the person who sent reception personnel to arrange for these Sichuan troops to enter the theater in Xuzhou was Commander Li, the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater.
In order to deploy the rear city of Xuzhou, Commander Xu is very busy. Not only does he have to arrange the distribution of all combat defense lines for the 27 infantry divisions and 3 infantry brigades under his jurisdiction, and guide the combat deployment,
Various combat meetings will also be held to discuss how to prepare for the Japanese air attack on Xuzhou and the fifth theater.
Of course, it also includes defense against the Japanese fleet and the army's combat deployment for future attacks.
But even so busy,
After Commander Li heard about the elite Sichuan Army troops personally selected by Commander Liu Xiang, upon their arrival, he immediately arranged for his loyal subordinates to prepare these Sichuan Army troops who came here to fight against the Japanese invaders.
A place to stay and a place to stay,
There was also the matter of meals, which he also needed to make arrangements for.
He was even prepared to personally go over to comfort these Sichuan troops at the appropriate time, when he was done with his busy work, to give a good impression to these Sichuan troops who came to the front to kill the Japanese, and to boost their morale.
In order to defend Xuzhou well, Commander Li didn't mind working harder and being kinder to the soldiers and civilians.
As long as he can kill the Japanese, he welcomes them.
"Hiss! Is this Xuzhou?"
"It's much better than our Sichuan. If Xuzhou is so prosperous, then I believe the Songhu side will be even more prosperous and lively. What a pity! We don't have the opportunity to visit Songhu and participate in the battle!"
"Otherwise, I will definitely be able to see Songhu. What is it like?"
"I heard that it is the most prosperous and largest international city in the country!"
“Beautiful as heaven on earth!”
"As long as you have money, you can buy any good thing!"
When Chen Youde led all his Sichuan troops to the city of Xuzhou,
The adjutant beside him, Wu Xing, was also very excited. He kept looking around at the scenery around him and making comments.
"Don't worry about it, let's get to our accommodation first and wait until we get settled before we take a look!"
"I heard that Commander Li will come to see us again, so you and others should be good and behave better for me, so as not to lose the face of our Sichuan Army!"
"Don't lose the face of Commander Liu Xiang, and the face of our future new commander He Feiyang!"
"Our future commander is still leading his troops to fight to the end in the capital, killing the Japanese!"
But for Wu Xing, his confidant and lieutenant,
Chen Youde did not talk too much about Xuzhou’s scenery.
Instead he scolded.
Because they had just arrived in Xuzhou, they really didn't know a lot of things, so they had to be cautious to avoid anything bad happening and affecting the reputation of their Sichuan Army.
Therefore, Chen Youde was very cautious and strictly required the self-discipline of the Sichuan troops under his command.
Don't let them have any random behavior,
"Yes! Sir!"
Seeing Chen Youde's serious reprimand,
The confidant adjutant Wu Xing also quickly shut up and apologized.
But he was still curious, looking around as he walked.
And among the Sichuan officers and soldiers behind him, many of them looked curiously at the bustling street scene around them.
Until their eyes were attracted by Yang Sen's Sichuan Army troops,
Then I stopped looking around,
Then he turned to look at the Sichuan troops on Commander Yang Sen's side.
In Xuzhou City, two Sichuan troops suddenly appeared.
No, it's three Sichuan troops,
Because Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army and Yang Sen's Sichuan Army encountered each other unexpectedly in Xuzhou City.
The Sichuan Army's 22nd Group Army, which has the worst weapons and equipment among the Sichuan Army, and the Sichuan Army's commander Wang Mingzhang of the 122nd Division, also appeared in this street.
And he also noticed two friendly Sichuan troops that he was familiar with.
