Chapter 47: The Bloody Battle of Liu Jipao 6

  After the two scouts left, Zhang Mingyu immediately called Wang Mingzhang in Tengxian: "Brother Wang, can you help me get 100 sets of Japanese military uniforms?"

  On the other end of the phone, Wang Mingzhang furrowed his brow and thought for a moment: "My brother, what do you want that little devil's military uniform for?"

  "Big brother, don't mind me for now, I just ask if there is any," Zhang Mingyu explained.

  "Is that batch of ghost military uniforms confiscated by the Chief of Staff last time still there?"..."Still there!"

  "Brother, the devil's military uniform we captured last time is still with us. We'll send someone to deliver it to you!" Wang Mingzhang said over the phone.

  "Alright, Wang Dage doesn't know that the key to defending Tong County lies in these 100 sets of Japanese military uniforms! Hurry up and send them over!" Zhang Mingyu said excitedly.

  Wang Mingzhang listened and said: "I will send someone to deliver it immediately, as it concerns the safety of Tong County."

  After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mingyu shouted loudly: "Li Gang, Tie Niu."

  Yes!

  "Assemble the guard squad! Be ready for battle at my command"

  "Yes!"

  Zhang Mingyu ordered again: "Commander Liu Zhihui, I want to borrow a few soldiers from you to carry out a special task, is it convenient?"

  Liu Zhihui stood up straight and said: "Director Zhang, you can choose whatever you like, as long as it's something that catches your eye, feel free to take it away!"

  Zhang Mingyu said: "Then I won't be polite, let's go to the battlefield"

  Zhang Mingyu arrived at the front line of the Sichuan Army's position accompanied by Liu Zhihui. Many Sichuan soldiers saw Zhang Mingyu and Liu Zhihui arrive, and they all stood up to salute. Zhang Mingyu found a relatively high place to stand on and shouted loudly: "Sichuan brothers, you are all good! You have worked hard! Now I need 50 soldiers to go with my guard platoon to carry out a difficult task, it is possible that no one will return from this mission. Who is willing to go?"

  The Sichuan soldiers were discussing in a low voice, but no one dared to speak out. Zhang Mingyu spoke loudly again: "General Liu Xiang once said that as long as the Sichuan people don't die out, China won't perish! The Sichuan brothers are all iron-like men, how did they become soft eggs like dog shit now?"

  "What you said is nonsense! Sichuan people are not afraid of death, I'll go with you!" a burly Sichuan man said in a thick Sichuan accent.

  "I'm going too! Screw that little bastard!"

  "I'm going too! To hell with those damned Orientals!"

  A group of Sichuan men spoke in their local accent.

  Zhang Mingyu selected fifty strong and capable men to take away, and said to the remaining Sichuan soldiers who still wanted to participate: "The rest of you brothers are also good! There is another fierce battle waiting for you here, and the heavy responsibility of defending Liujipu has fallen on your shoulders."

  "General Zhang can rest assured that those little devils will not be able to pass through here unless they trample over our corpses." Liu Zhihui said loudly.

  At this time, the sky was pouring down heavy rain, and in February and March, the weather in the north was still very cold. The soldiers' uniforms were all soaked through, and the Sichuan soldiers were still wearing straw sandals, which were soaked in icy water, enduring the icy rain that pierced to the bone, guarding their positions.

  The 10th Army of Japan has been ordered to rush, but the heavy artillery regiment is stuck in a small village fifty kilometers away from Liujiazhuang due to muddy roads caused by heavy rain, and the devil's car responsible for transporting large guns cannot arrive. A reinforced squadron was sent by Sergeant Ogawa to guard it.

  In order to meet the Fifth Division in Tai'erzhuang on time, the Japanese Central China Area Army urged the Higuchi Detachment to capture Tong County immediately, so as to open up the road for the Tenth Division to attack Tai'erzhuang.

  Upon receiving the order, Higuchi Morimoto immediately ordered the 10th Infantry Brigade, which had just arrived, to attack Liujiazhuang. The commander of the 10th Infantry Brigade, Akachiba Hachiro, personally led two main battalions to attack Liujiazhuang. Upon learning that Japanese reinforcements had arrived, Zhang Mingyu urgently ordered Zhang Biao's 1st Regiment to reinforce Liujiazhuang. Zhang Biao's 1st Regiment was Zhang Mingyu's trump card, with slightly better combat quality and firepower than the 2nd Regiment.

  For this matter, Zhang Biao had found Zhang Mingyu to make trouble more than once, and was scolded back by Zhang Mingyu. The soldiers of the whole regiment were also mobilized. As soon as they received the order, they quickly rushed to the front line. Zhang Mingyu said to Zhang Biao on the phone: "You little bastard is always complaining, now your regiment has a chance, I want you to hold Lyu Ji Slope for 10 hours, if you can't hold it, I'll shoot you!"

  "Master, rest assured, I guarantee completion of the task!"

  Put down the phone, Zhang Biao immediately ran out to gather his troops in person and shouted loudly at his own team: "Brothers, the instructor said that good steel is used on the blade, now the real fierce battle has come, and it's up to our regiment. The second regiment of that little rascal is still not working! But the instructor gave us a death order, asking us to hold on to Liupo for ten hours. Do you guys have confidence?"

  "Yes!" The warriors who had been stifling their anger for half a day all shouted in unison.

  "Alright! Brothers, this time if we can't fight our way out, even if Commander Zhang doesn't shoot me dead, I'll still be driven to death by those rascals from the 2nd battalion. And you guys will also be trampled underfoot by those sons of bitches from the 2nd battalion and won't be able to hold your heads up high!" Zhang Biao rallied his troops with these words.

  If Zhang Mingyu heard this, he would at least be locked up for a week.

  "Don't worry, Regimental Commander! Our regiment will always be the number one regiment of the Independent Division. The second regiment can forget about it." a battalion commander said.

  Soon Zhang Biao led his more than a thousand mixed-up soldiers, and rushed to Liujipao like wolves. Lai San saw a group of them rushing forward like madmen, and asked loudly: "Hey! You little rabbits of the First Division, why are you running so fast? Are you going to reincarnate?"

  At this time, Zhang Biao loudly replied: "You little rascals, watch closely from behind and see how I beat the little devils! Haha!"

  Lai San immediately ran to the command center and found Zhang Mingyu, asking: "Commander, why did they let the 1st Regiment go up? Isn't it our 2nd Regiment that's supposed to be on guard?"

  Zhang Mingyu replied, "You guys rest well in the back, brothers have been fighting all day and are very tired. Prepare to reinforce a regiment at any time." Lai San wanted to say something else, Zhang Mingyu said directly, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have the leisure to chat with you now, I need to take the special forces out for a trip. After I leave, Zhang Biao will be in charge of commanding the entire division. If there are those who do not listen to orders, military law will be enforced."

  "Yes! Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely cooperate well with Old Zhang!"

  Zhang Mingyu nodded and immediately said to Liu Tianjie behind him: "Liu Team Leader, please take your team to the front slope now to coordinate with my team. We must hold on for more than ten hours."

  "No problem! I'll go right now!" He said and strode out of the command center.

  Zhang Mingyu then said to Liu Zhihui, "Trouble Brother Liu to take your brothers to the outer defense line of Tong County to prevent the infiltration of small Japanese troops."

  "Please rest assured, General Zhang. As long as we are on the battlefield, not a single enemy plane will be able to fly past." Liu Zhihui stood at attention and said.

  After making the deployment, Zhang Mingyu called Zhang Biao on the front slope to entrust him with the agency of the instructor. Turning around to Li Gang, he said: "Special warfare team assemble!" Fifty Sichuan soldiers and fifty devils wearing military uniforms sent from Tengxian County quickly assembled in front of Zhang Mingyu's command post.

  After Zhang Biao received the order from Zhang Mingyu, he commanded his troops to rush to repair the position in front of Liuji Slope, while Akai Hachiro also mobilized his two battalions for a pre-war general mobilization, hoping to capture the Liuji position and open up the road for the troops to Tong County. Just as the Battle of Liujislope was about to begin, a team of over 100 "ghost soldiers" set out from the Independent Division's temporary command post, sneaking into the Japanese army's rear, and all of this was seen by two women.
