I rise from the sword

Chapter 333 What is Zhongrui Tuan?
The 5th Battalion Commander Li Yizhou expressed his loyalty, and everyone in the regiment headquarters felt a surge of enthusiasm, and all of them gave up the idea of ​​abandoning the defense and fleeing.

Yang Lin looked around everyone with sharp eyes, nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand to signal Li Yizhou to sit down, and said: "Although Huaxia is big, we have no way out. Besides, if we just retreat, we will never be able to defeat the enemy. Drive them out of the country!"

"So, we only have one battle, the only way to take the initiative to fight, and when necessary, we even need to take the initiative to attack!
Only in this way can we truly defeat the enemy bandits and drive them out of the country! "

After a pause, Yang Lin changed his voice, and continued, "Of course, you don't have to be too pessimistic. We not only have the determination to unite as one, but also have strong city defenses!"

"Besides, we also have the tank company and the flying brigade!"

"Originally, even if the little devils didn't come to us, I was going to fight them out. Now that they have come, it will save us a lot of effort!"

The reason why Yang Lin dared to face the 27th Division of the Japanese Army was not only because of his own excellent equipment and strong firepower, but also a more important reason, that is, the trump card of the tank company and the flying brigade.

"Yes, Tuanzuo is right, although Huaxia is big, we have no way out!

Besides, in the battle between our Zhongrui regiment and the little devil, which time didn't we fight more with less?When is it not the weak against the strong?
But in the final result, when did we not defeat the little devil?
Since the little devil wants to light a lantern in the hut, let's make him happy! "

After Yang Lin finished speaking, Battalion 1 Commander Ma Gan immediately stood up and expressed his support.

He is Yang Lin's old subordinate, and he followed him when he was in Hongyunling, and he has always supported Yang Lin's decision unconditionally.

He was also one of the few people who didn't propose to abandon the guard and run away, temporarily avoiding the edge of the little devil.

"Fight! Hit a little devil and never return!"

With Ma Gan taking the lead, the rest of the people followed suit, unanimously agreeing to stick to the county seat.

Immediately, Yang Lin and the chief officers discussed some strategies against the enemy, and then began to arrange deployment tasks for each battalion.

Fenyang County is so big, if all the thousands of officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Regiment were deployed in the county, they would not be able to use it at all.

What's more, once the Japanese army launches an offensive, they will definitely carry out a ground-to-air joint bombing first due to their urgency, so too concentrated troops is not good.

Therefore, Yang Lin only deployed three battalions in the city, namely the 3rd, 4th, and 5th battalions, and pulled the defense line outside the city.

As for the most elite 1st Battalion, [-]nd Battalion, Cavalry Battalion and other departments, they are deployed in training bases outside the city.

First, when necessary, they can cooperate with the defenders in the city to attack the little devil.

The second is to protect the flight brigade and the airport.

After arranging the tasks, Yang Lin ordered again: "From now on, all field training in each battalion will be cancelled, and the commanders of each battalion will go back to actively prepare for the battle and build fortifications. If there is not enough ammunition and supplies, they will go to the supply battalion to get it."

"Also, the little devils will attack at any time, and if you fight together, your superiors will definitely be innocent. Hou Meng, the task of reconnaissance of the enemy is temporarily in charge of the special warfare brigade, and the task of transferring the people in the city will be handed over to your reconnaissance battalion!
Immediately after the meeting, take action to move all non-combatants out of the city as soon as possible! "

"Yes, group seat!"

Usually the reconnaissance battalion is responsible for the task of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation. Although during this period of time, Yang Lin assigned the task of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation to the special warfare brigade in order to strengthen the training of the special warfare brigade, which made Hou Meng somewhat uncomfortable.

However, when the task came, he still chose to follow Yang Lin's order without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go!"

Everyone stood up one after another, saluted Yang Lin who was at the head, and then turned and left the regiment headquarters one after another.

Yang Lin is determined to stick to the county seat, not going his own way, wanting to hit a stone with an egg.

Because sticking to Fenyang County can buy time for the large troops in the World War II zone to deploy their defenses, and it can also allow the people in the city to have enough time to leave the county and move to a safe location.

There is also a more important point, that is, Fenyang County is a strategically important place, and it is also a defensive barrier for the entire southwestern region of Shanxi.

If Yang Lin chooses to flee without fighting and abandon the county seat, first of all, his reputation will be greatly reduced, not to mention giving the Japanese an excuse to discredit him. under the iron hoof.

Although the Zhongrui regiment has grown a lot during this period of time, it is still an extremely difficult task to stick to Fenyang County.

Because the combat effectiveness of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army should not be underestimated.

Prior to this, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army in the World War II zone assembled several brigades in an attempt to block the offensive of the Japanese 27th Division.

Unfortunately, except for the Wenshuiguan defense line that the 27th Division did not attack, the rest of the defense lines were almost completely broken by the 27th Division.

In just a few days, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army won successive battles and captured several counties and dozens of villages and towns.

The road was unstoppable, and he reached the territory of Fenyang County.

The most important thing is that the Zhongrui Regiment has long been a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, and when the 27th Division launches an attack, the Devil Aviation will definitely cooperate with them and provide them with strong fire support.

However, Fenyang County is not as good as Jiaocheng Mountain. It has no scattered and complicated terrain. Even if the smoke is released to obscure the sight of the Devil Air Force, it is difficult to achieve the same effect as in Jiaocheng Mountain.

Because, even if the little devil's aerial bombs miss, without strong enough fortifications, it will still cause great damage to the ground troops.

Yang Lin naturally knew this too!
However, facing a powerful enemy, it aroused his inner fighting spirit.

Of course, he will not underestimate the enemy, but will go all out.

From this moment on, all members of the Zhongrui Regiment entered a state of combat readiness. The officers and soldiers never left their guns, never removed their armor at night, and stayed on the ground with food and drink 24 hours a day.

It is worth mentioning that the five excavators are really easy to use, they are simply artifacts for digging field fortifications.

After half a month of intensive training, the officers and soldiers of the tank company have become a group of graduates of Nanxiang Technical School.

They manipulated excavators to dig trenches outside the city overnight, which saved a lot of energy for the officers and soldiers of the battalions...

All night.

The next morning.

There are several excavators working overnight, and Zhongruituan's defense line can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

After one night, the officers and soldiers of each battalion built a defense line several kilometers long outside the city.

Yang Lin didn't sleep all night, and he patrolled the positions all night, instructing the officers and soldiers of the various battalions of the Zhongrui Regiment how to build fortifications according to the topography, soil quality and other factors.

"Listen to me, all of you, you must not cut corners when building fortifications, let alone take chances, because this thing can save your lives at a critical moment!"

"There are too few firepower points here, call in a few more machine guns, and here, deploy a few more anti-aircraft machine gun positions, by the way, don't forget to deploy some inflatable models to attract the firepower of the devils..."

While patrolling the position, Yang Lin reminded the officers and soldiers who were busy deploying defenses.

At this time, a soldier suddenly hurried over along the trench.

After saluting Yang Lin, he reported: "Reporting to the regiment, the commander of the 5th Battalion just called, saying that there are many refugees in their defense area who want to enter the city, and there are also some broken soldiers who have withdrawn from the front line. I also want to go to the city.

5 Battalion Commander, according to your order, did not agree with these fleeing civilians and the defeated soldiers entering the city, and there seems to be a little conflict between the two sides..."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Yang Lin frowned.

Friction and conflict between troops is not a trivial matter. You must know that both sides have weapons and equipment in their hands. If some stunned young man suddenly fires a shot, it may lead to a fight.

However, these guys are really fat enough, a group of rout soldiers dare to do things on his territory...

In order to avoid unnecessary accidents, Yang Lin rushed to the 5th Battalion's position immediately after learning about the general situation.

10 minutes later.

"Are you all against each other, a group of big soldiers, dare to block my way? Quickly get out of the way and let us enter the city. This matter will be over, otherwise don't blame me for not being sympathetic!" A leading major general shouted.

Perhaps it was because of the refutation of his face, which made him extremely dissatisfied, with a gloomy expression on his face as a major general.

This means that the opponent is the Zhongrui Regiment, if it was replaced by other troops, if a mere major dared to block his way, he would have been slapped by a few big ears.

"That's right, don't you understand what our brigade commander said? Hurry up and get out of the way, or we will shoot!!!"

A group of rout soldiers, relying on the strength of their brigade commander, pretended to be powerful, and prepared to break into the defense zone of the 5th Battalion with curses.

There were about 800 soldiers who retreated, and they were crowded together, wearing the uniforms of the Central Army.

The rout soldiers were all disheveled and had no morale at all, but at this time because of the support of their brigade commander, each of them looked arrogant.

"Damn it! You can't beat the little devils, but you are the number one in the den! If you dare to break into the defense line of my Zhongrui regiment, you can try it. It's your heads that are hard, and the old men's guns are hard!"

The veterans of the Zhongrui Regiment are all those who have been to the front line, killed devils, and won battles. The recruits are also full-blooded and passionate men. When faced with provocations from the opponent, they are also fearless went back.

"I don't care if you are the Zhongrui regiment or what kind of regiment, if you don't let us go, we will really shoot!"

"Damn it, try it!"

"If you don't get out of the way, we will suddenly jump on you..."

The soldiers on both sides began to curse, and they pointed their guns at each other. Although they were still trying their best to restrain themselves without the order of the chief, there was still the possibility of their guns being fired at any time.

After a while, Yang Lin walked over with a large stride.

Seeing that the scene was extremely chaotic, he immediately raised the tweeter that he had prepared in advance, and shouted loudly: "Damn it, who is causing trouble on Lao Tzu's territory?"

Yang Lin had already emphasized his tone, coupled with the blessing of the tweeter, this made his voice spread like thunder.

When had the soldiers around heard such a loud voice, they couldn't help but tremble with fright, and they immediately silenced and stopped the quarrel and conflict.

Standing not far away, the major general of the Central Army looked at Yang Lin who was approaching, and immediately cursed in an arrogant tone.

"Damn, dare to play prestige in front of me?"

Yang Lin glanced at the major general coldly, but didn't talk to him. This made the major general feel contemptuous, and he immediately raised his voice and said, "I'm not cowardly, a colonel and an officer dare to despise me and a major general. Don't you know how to salute?
Could it be that this is how your Zhongrui regiment behaves, relying on a little military merit to be lawless? "

If this was an ordinary major general, he wouldn't dare to talk to Yang Lin like this.

However, he was from the Whampoa family, and he was also Wei Junru's confidant.

Wei Junru's status is incredible. Not only is he the deputy commander of the Second War Zone, but he is only inferior to Yan Laoxi in the entire Second War Zone.

But he has another identity, that is, he is the speaker of the Central Army in the second theater, and he is the confidant of Chairman Jiang.

Therefore, Wei Junru's confidants can also be regarded as Chiang Kai-shek's confidantes.

This naturally gave the major general officer a superior qualification.

Of course, if it was just these things, he would naturally not trouble Yang Lin.

The reason why he deliberately troubled Yang Lin was because he was Yan Zhirou's suitor.

And he also learned that Yan Zhirou seemed to have a crush on Yang Lin...

"Hehe, lawlessness? You deserve it! I even killed several of the little devil's generals. Are you still afraid of you, the defeated general?"

"As long as anyone with a bit of blood and a sense of shame will not and dare not play official power after defeat!"

"It's good for you. A defeated general still has the face to show his authority in front of me. Who gave you the courage? Is it worthy of the military uniform you are wearing? Ah!!!"

Yang Lin's words made the other party flush with embarrassment, and the soldiers who lost the army also bowed their heads in shame. Facing Yang Lin's questioning, they had no courage to speak back.

The air froze for a few seconds, and an adjutant next to him seemed to want to flatter the chief, and immediately scolded: "Who are you, a small colonel dares to be so rampant, do you know that what you are facing is It's Song Jiacheng, commander of the new 3rd Brigade of the Central Army!"

"Zhongrui Group, Yang Lin!"

Yang Lin replied lightly.

"Ah, you are Yang Lin, the head of the Zhongrui regiment?"

When the major's adjutant heard Yang Lin's self-report, his chrysanthemum tightened in fright, and the rest of the rout soldiers stepped back timidly.

However, thinking that his commander was the brigade commander of the major general, and he was also the chairman's confidant, the major's adjutant quickly stabilized his mind.

He continued to hold on and said: "Hmph, even if you belong to the Zhongrui Regiment and have won a few battles, don't you have no commanding officers?
Seriously speaking, what is your small Zhongrui regiment? "

"Hehe! You ask what our Zhongrui regiment is? Well, I'll tell you now!"

Yang Lin smiled coldly, and said coldly: "In a word, we will fight the little devils that your new 3rd Brigade of the Central Army can't win, and we will defend the positions that your new 3rd Brigade of the Central Army can't defend!

Let's cut first and play later, with the permission of the theater chief!

This is the Zhongrui Group! "
