Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 449: The Japanese Landed and Stolen the House

449 The Japanese landed and stole the house

After reading the telegram, Takano Atsuo looked at everyone and said, "Commander Matsui ordered us to land tomorrow morning."

"In that case, let's land tomorrow morning.

It just so happens that I am getting tired of waiting.”

Takano Atsuo said with a smile.

The Japanese telegram from Matsui Iwane did not explain why they were so anxious to land.

Takano Atsuo also didn't know that the Japanese had just suffered a huge defeat on the main battlefield on the front line.

At the same time, in the mountainous area west of Wenzhou, there is a place called Tianshui Village.

A huge recruit training camp was built here more than a month ago.

It was Zhou Xinghai who ordered the migrant workers to build the third recruit training camp.

At this moment in this recruit training camp, on the vast training ground, recruits were standing there in the rain.

"Stand up straight, everyone."

Zhou Xinghai, who was also caught in the rain, walked past these recruits and shouted loudly.

"Do you think you can take a break and not train just because it rains?

Dream about.

We have to train even when it rains.

The Japanese may attack at any time, and they will not stop attacking just because it rains."

Zhou Xinghai shouted loudly.

He has been training these thousands of new militia recruits for more than half a month.

Just as Zhou Xinghai returned from participating in the Battle of Fuzhou, he happened to catch up with Ye Qingshan leading his troops to the Jinhua front.

Originally, Zhou Xinghai had made plans to follow with his militia.

But later, Ye Qingshan gave Zhou Xinghai a completely different order.

Not only did they not transfer Zhou Xinghai's militia to the front line to join the war.

Zhou Xinghai was also asked to urgently recruit a group of new soldiers in the rear and complete the training as soon as possible.

Also, they had to be on guard against the possibility that the Japanese might land at any time and attack their hometown.

Zhou Xinghai felt helpless that he could not go to the front line to fight the Japanese.

However, he also knew that there were too many important facilities in the base at this time, which contained too much of Ye Qingshan's hard work.

There must be no problems in my hometown.

In the end, Zhou Xinghai chose to stay in his hometown and help Ye Qingshan guard important facilities such as the arsenal.

As for recruiting and training new soldiers, that is even simpler.

Zhou Xinghai was already familiar with the process of recruiting new soldiers.

In addition, the news that Ye Qingshan is rich and his soldiers are treated well has long spread throughout southern Zhejiang and Fujian Province.

The people are all willing to join the 86th Army, so there is absolutely no shortage of manpower.

Therefore, in less than half a month, Zhou Xinghai recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers and directly expanded five new soldier militias.

After Zhou Pingkou attacked Fuzhou City directly, thousands of reserve troops that had been transferred from their militia were replenished.

At this time, Zhou Xinghai had a total of ten militia groups under his command.

The number of people exceeds 20,000.

Of course, half of them, all five militias, were new recruits.

This is the group that Zhou Xinghai was training at this time.

The remaining five militias have already been organized into armies.

Currently they are distributed in Wenzhou City, Arsenal, Yandang Mountain Defense Line and other places.

"dinner time!"

After the training, the recruits rushed into the cafeteria trembling and feasted.

Although the training in the militia is hard, the treatment and food are excellent.

There is oil and meat in almost every meal.

In this era, this is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.

Therefore, no matter how Zhou Xinghai tortured these new recruits, no one complained.

Moreover, the improvement in food over the past half month has made these young men in their twenties and thirties stronger in physique.

"Everyone give me a bowl of ginger soup, don't let me get sick from the cold."

Zhou Xinghai still had a stern face as he walked through the cafeteria and shouted.

"Old Zhou, do you think the Japanese will really come and attack our base again?"

While eating, Zhou Xinghai's partner, another colonel of the National Army asked.

"I'm really looking forward to the devils coming.

Otherwise, if I train so many soldiers, won’t they have to be sent to the front line as reserve troops?

If the Japanese really dare to attack our base this time.

It's just right, let the devil see how powerful our militia is."

Zhou Xinghai said seriously.

In addition to being responsible for the daily security of the base, their militia is also responsible for the daily security of the base.

Another huge use is to serve as reserve troops for the main force.

If the fighting on the front line doesn’t end in another half month.

The new recruits trained by Zhou Xinghai will be sent to the front line and handed over to Ye Qingshan.

Therefore, Zhou Xinghai really hoped that the Japanese would come.

By then, he could give the landing Japanese a big surprise.

On the morning of the fourth day, the heavy rain finally stopped and turned into light rain.

On the turbulent sea, the Japanese troop transport fleet and escort fleet approached the coast.

On Daluo Mountain in Longwan, there are two guard posts set up by the First Regiment of the Militia.

From here, you can clearly see the situation on the sea to the east.

Today, two soldiers who were on guard duty as usual were smoking and chatting at the sentry post.

"Damn it, it's all because of the heavy rain these past two days. Our duty has been extended."

A soldier complained.

"Okay, there's nothing to complain about.

The salary for guard duty here is two more dollars per month.

It's not that dangerous.

I wish I could stand guard here all the time."

Another veteran said, puffing out smoke.

"that's true."

"Eh? Lao Wang, look quickly."

Suddenly, the soldier next to him widened his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance. The Japanese warships were only vaguely visible at such a long distance.

Especially, because of the poor visibility due to rain, only the rough outline can be seen.

But it was eventually seen by the soldiers on guard.

When the old soldier next to him saw this scene, he threw away his cigarette butt, picked up the telescope next to him and looked at the sea.

“Fuck him.

The Japs really came to attack."

The veteran looked shocked.

"Quick, notify the captain.

The devils are coming to attack us."

A few minutes later, two Kuomintang soldiers wearing straw raincoats ran madly down the mountain to Wenzhou City to report the news.

At this time in Wenzhou City, the First Militia Regiment was stationed here.

The regiment commander was Cao Tianhai, a company commander who had retired from the 208th Division due to injuries. One of his arms was blown off while fighting the Japanese.

I can no longer stay in the 208th Division.

So, Cao Tianhai was like most of the other injured mid-level officers in the 86th Army.

He chose to retire and join the local militia, becoming its commander.

"Damn it, it's been raining for two days.

It’s finally stopping.”

Cao Tianhai was in the house, looking at the rain outside which was finally getting smaller, and said.

“Lao Liu, when the rain stops, arrange for the engineering battalion to go to the vicinity of Longwan.

Check the minefield situation.

With such heavy rain, I'm worried that the mines we laid earlier will be washed away."

Without turning his head, Cao Tianhai spoke to the chief of staff behind him.

"Row.

I'll send someone to notify the engineering battalion."

"Also, send people to relieve the guard posts set up along the coast."

Cao Tianhai continued.

As they were talking, two patrol teams outside the camp, with dozens of patrol soldiers wearing straw raincoats, came back.

Even in such heavy rain, they never let down their guard.

At this time, Cao Tianhai saw two soldiers rushing into the camp in panic, shouting:

"The devils are coming! The devils are coming!"

The next second, Cao Tianhai rushed out.

He pulled the two soldiers who entered the camp and asked loudly, "I am Cao Tianhai, please explain clearly."

"Captain, we are from the Daluo Mountain guard post.

The Japs... the Japs are coming from the sea, there are so many big Japs ships."

The soldier who ran back said breathlessly.

"Damn it, the devils are really here."

Cao Tianhai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted to the chief of staff behind him: "Quick, send a telegram to Commander Zhou.

The Japanese landed in the Longwan area.

Give the order, assemble the whole regiment and prepare for battle."

Soon, the news reached Tianshui Village, where Zhou Xinghai was training his troops.

"What! Did the Japs really come to attack our hometown?

My goodness, the commander-in-chief is really good at predicting things."

After Zhou Xinghai received the news, he was a little surprised, but then he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, who said I can't fight the Japanese just because I'm in the rear.

Look, the devils have come to our doorstep.”

"Pass the order down, new recruits, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Regiments, assemble immediately.

In addition, notify other regiments to prepare for battle immediately.

Everyone gather in Wenzhou.

Then report this news to the commander-in-chief.

I want the armory's approval order."

Zhou Xinghai gave orders excitedly without any fear.

Soon, Ye Qingshan at the front line also received news from Zhou Xinghai.

"Did the Japanese land in the Longwan area?"

After receiving the news, Ye Qingshan was slightly surprised, but then he regained his composure.

“I knew that old devil Matsui Iwane was cunning.

I will definitely not let this move go.

This move is like cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot. If it were any other national army unit, it would probably have been a sure kill."

Ye Qingshan sneered.

“Unfortunately, the old dog Matsui Iwane forgot one thing.

I am not like other national army generals.

If you want to use this trick to steal my home, you can just dream on.

Because I don’t follow the rules!

You think I only have two cars, but actually I have two more cars hidden.

You think you can turn the tables by relying on this little pawn that has crossed the river? That's wishful thinking!"

"Tell Zhou Xinghai that this group of landing devils will be handed over to his militia.

I will notify the armory and arsenal and provide them with weapons and ammunition.

I have only one request.

Destroy this landing Japanese army for me, don't let any of them escape.

Then notify Meng Jifei of the Aviation Team and tell them that they don't need to support the front line for the time being.

Fully assist Zhou Xinghai's militia to deal with the Japanese fleet at sea.

Since the Japanese navy has not learned its lesson and still dares to approach the coast of our base.

Then give me another good beating."

"Commander-in-chief, it's a good thing you didn't mobilize Zhou Xinghai's militia."

Xiao Shanling also said thankfully.

Zhou Xinghai was extremely happy when he received Ye Qingshan's order.

He said to the chief of staff next to him: "The commander-in-chief's order has come down.

Immediately send a regiment to the armory to get weapons, and another regiment to the arsenal to get ammunition.

Remember to get lots of grenades and rocket launchers, these two weapons are already in the hands of the new recruits."

Zhou Xinghai made arrangements immediately.

"Understood. I'll take people to the armory right away."

The Chief of Staff responded with a smile.
