I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 699 The war zone commander has already discussed it with Commander Song

Commander Zhou: "Major Fan, the battlefield has not been cleared yet, should we..."

Fan Shitou looked around and said, "General Zhou, look, the battlefield has been bombed into this state.

Is it necessary for our four armies to stay behind to clean up the battlefield?"

The four army commanders looked at the battlefield around them and were horrified.

It seems that Major Fan has tried his best to achieve the goal of sending out the entire army.

He had already planned it out, so just now, he deliberately blew up the Japanese troops and their equipment.

It means that the troops of the four armies have no place to stop at Zhaojiapozi!

Commander Li asked: "Major Fan, aren't you in a hurry? The troops have been traveling for several hours and they need to rest..."

Major Fan: "Just now Commander Song sent an urgent telegram..."

Commander Li: “Major Fan, you are from the Jiangnan Station District after all.

We are the troops of the Ninth War Zone, and we have our own commander-in-chief..."

These words were rather unpleasant to the ear. They were clearly accusing Fan Shitou of overstepping his authority and of secretly supporting Song Wenwan.

The commander of the 99th Army was shocked when he saw this. This Commander Li was going to do something bad!

Commander Li and Commander Zhou arrived late and did not see the scene of the earth-shattering collapse just now.

When Commander Li said this, he seriously offended Major Fan and Commander Song.

At this time, Major Fan was not as furious as everyone imagined. He remained very calm and stood in front of several superiors.

"My Lords..."

The commander of the 99th Army felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Major Fan's tone might imply that he was just doing business as usual.

"Report to the superiors, I have just received a telegram from Commander Song.

Just yesterday afternoon, our Jiangnan Militia Fourth Division, together with the 73rd Army, jointly attacked the Japanese Sixth Division.

In the area from Linxiang Mountain to Liuyang River, the entire 6th Division was annihilated, and not a single member of the Japanese 6th Division escaped.

At the same time, an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion of the Japanese 9th Brigade were annihilated.

The commander of the 99th Army then realized that it was no wonder that so few Japanese troops escaped and they were able to deal with them so easily.

It turned out that a small half of the Japanese troops of the 9th Brigade were left behind on the banks of the Liuyang River by Dongfang Shang and Commander Qian's 73rd Army.

Major Fan then said shockingly: "Commander Song, I have already discussed it with the commander of the theater.

The credit for completely annihilating the Sixth Division and one regiment of the Ninth Brigade has been attributed to the 73rd Army.

Commander Qian dispatched the 73rd Army and annihilated a division and a regiment.

You dispatched four armies of troops to annihilate half of the Japanese brigade.

Is this merit enough for the four of you to share? Are you willing to be outdone by Commander Qian?

Now the Japanese 3rd Division and 40th Division are fleeing frantically towards Wuhan.

Under the leadership of Division Commander Wen Yibai, all members of our First Jiangnan Militia Division have set up a net and are waiting on the south bank of the Miluo River.

As long as you get behind the enemy, the 3rd and 40th Divisions will definitely be doomed this time."

Commander Sun of the 99th Army said in surprise: "Could it be that Commander Song meant that the credit for the encirclement and annihilation of the 3rd and 40th Divisions..."

Major Fan: “Just as Commander Sun said, our Commander Song and the theater commander have already discussed it.

It requires your four armies to block these two divisions of the Japanese.

The credit for annihilating two enemy divisions this time will be shared equally by your four armies.

Our Jiangnan Militia Division will return to the Jiangnan War Zone after the Changsha Defense War, and all our achievements will not be reported."

Commander Sun grabbed Major Fan's hands and shook them enthusiastically.

"Major Fan, this gift from you is really too big.

After the war, we in the Ninth War Zone will definitely invite Commander Song to have a drink.

Major Fan must come along then, hahahaha..."

Commander Zhou said worriedly, "Major Fan, there are two divisions of Japanese soldiers ahead.

I wonder if we can stop them with just our four armies?"

Major Fan: "When the Japanese 40th Division was crossing the Yougang River, one of its regiments was destroyed.

They lost another regiment in subsequent attacks and now have only about 15,000 people.

The 40th Division is still relatively good. The current situation of the 3rd Division is even worse than that of the 40th Division.

Their losses were slightly less, but the Third Division was now out of ammunition and food.

Did you know that their breakfast the day before yesterday was borrowed from the Sixth Division?

They are just two stray dogs, can't you stop them?

Even if we just use artillery shells to bomb them, the Japanese won’t be able to break through our encirclement.”

Now that things have come to this, what reason do the four commanders of the National Army have for not sending troops?

Half an hour later, they left a battalion of soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Then the soldiers of the four armies of the National Army launched a huge march and rushed to the south bank of the Miluo River.

Commander Li, who was just arguing with liaison officer Fan, was also among them.

Major Fan generously expressed his personal opinion, saying that now we must unite as one and put the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war first.

As long as everyone is willing to work hard to fight the Japanese, we are all good friends.

In fact, Commander Sun of the 99th Army understood what Major Fan meant.

As long as you beat the devils, we can talk about anything. If the devils are beaten and run away, we can talk about it separately.

However, he did not want to meddle in so many trivial matters. Commander Sun was from the Central Army, so he was naturally arrogant when speaking.

His own troops are the original Guangdong Army, so he just needs to take care of himself and has no time to get involved in the conflicts between other factions.

The four armies of the National Army went through a night of forced march in the cold wind.

Finally, at dawn, we arrived at the south bank of the Miluo River, about 20 kilometers away.

The most tired ones are not their infantry, but their artillery.

Commander Sun saw the power of artillery against the Japanese in the early hours of this morning.

So he simply sent out his own guard battalion and gathered together the horses of the four armies.

No matter what, we must let the artillery cannons help when we go to war with the Japanese.

They were now not far from the south bank of the Miluo River.

The sound of gunfire over there had already come from far away.

When Commander Sun heard the sound of artillery fire, he knew that the troops of the First Division had already engaged in a battle with the Japanese.

He came over specifically to ask Major Fan for his opinion.

Let's see whether we should continue to move forward and join the battlefield, or rest here first to recover our strength.

Major Fan: "Commander Sun, it is not time for us to rest yet.

We need to dig three trenches first as a blockade line.

The artillery must also build artillery positions, determine target parameters, and be ready to engage the Japanese at any time."

At this moment, the four army commanders didn't understand why Major Fan made such arrangements.

Commander Li: "We have four armies, but we ran around all night in a hurry.

Isn't it just to cooperate with your First Militia Division to completely wipe out the Japanese?

Now that we're here, you don't let us attack.

Mr. Fan, do you look down on me? I have never been afraid of fighting the Japanese. "

Major Fan was secretly amused when he saw Commander Li, who was in a hurry to fight the Japanese.

Seeing that you still know how to take the initiative to fight the Japanese, I can temporarily forgive your unreasonableness.
