"About five kilometers to the northwest, there are troops approaching. They may be our own. Go and contact the other party to see who is coming."

"good."

Chen Hansheng agreed and led people to the front.

He is an officer of the 29th Army. He has more dealings with troops in the northwest.

In fact, the 29th Army was also part of the Northwest Army. The Shanxi-Sui Army was also part of the Northwest Army. The two are very closely related.

Monitor the map silently.

Chen Hansheng quickly joined the white dots, and then a dozen blue dots followed Chen Hansheng.

Zhang Yong tidied his clothes.

A bit miserable.

But it doesn't matter.

That's what the battlefield is like.

Just get used to it.

Soon, Chen Hansheng arrived with a colonel officer.

The opponent has obviously not entered the battle yet. He is quite clean. He may have just arrived from behind.

The colonel officer came to Zhang Yong, stood at attention and saluted.

"Commissioner."

"Hello."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Reach out and shake the other person's hand.

This is more intimate.

"You are..."

"Reporting to the Commissioner, my humble position is Yu Defei, the leader of the 13th Army Supplementary Regiment."

"Thirteenth Army? Supplementary Regiment?"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

It was actually the Thirteenth Army, Tang Enbo's starting army.

Before, when he was at Shimen, Zhang Yong did not know the composition of Tang Enbo's troops in detail.

I didn't expect that the Thirteenth Army was actually here.

Came in advance? Or...

"Where did you come from?"

"Huai'an. Tianzhen."

"oh."

Zhang Yong quietly checked the map.

It turns out to be west of Zhangjiakou. I’m confused. Where were they stationed before?

I continued to ask and learned that the Thirteenth Army had been participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. After the Northwest Incident, it also participated in the encirclement of the Northeast Army.

Finally, the troops went all the way north and stationed in the west of Zhangjiakou.

Why are you stationed here?

It is estimated that the Jinsui Army is divided, or divided.

The Jin-Sui Army actually had two officers. One was Yan Laoxi and the other was Chief Fu.

Chief Fu was originally Yan Laoxi's subordinate, but later he went to Suiyuan and gradually established his own business. Lao Jiang also strongly supported it. As long as it could weaken Yan Laoxi's strength, Lao Jiang supported it.

The purpose of stationing the Thirteenth Army west of Zhangjiakou was to suppress Yan Laoxi and prevent him from putting pressure on Chief Fu.

Lao Chiang was not good at doing good things, but he was proficient at doing bad things.

The Northwest Army was defeated by him. The Northeast Army was also defeated. The Sichuan Army is now also divided into four parts. The Shanxi-Sui Army has also been divided.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuming also suppressed the Yunnan Army. Du Yuming bombarded Mount Wuhua. He used very drastic measures, which seriously damaged his reputation.

Du Yuming finally entered Gongde Forest. It must be said that it was closely related to the bombardment of Mount Wuhua.

In the end, the hard core of the Gui family is left, and I can't figure it out.

However, little Zhuge was so smart that he went to Taiwan with his biggest rival. Naturally, he died a violent death.

"You are here..."

"Defend the flanks. Prevent Japanese raids."

"Where is your main force?"

"In the area around the south entrance."

"oh."

Zhang Yong thought for a while.

It seems that I am still a little far away from the south exit.

That is to say, we haven’t entered the real battlefield yet.

"How is the battle at Nankou?"

"We are still in a stalemate. The Japanese invaders have taken turns to attack, but they have all been repulsed."

"What are the troop casualties?"

"Reporting Commissioner, I don't know. But our division's Chief of Staff Wu will be arriving soon. You can learn about the situation from him."

"What's the name of your chief of staff?"

"Wu Shaozhou."

"Wu Shaozhou?"

Zhang Yong felt that this name was a bit familiar.

I should have some impression of it somewhere. But unfortunately, I can't remember it for a while.

The chief of staff of the division seems to have some status. I guess he is in the second or third phase of Huangpu?

"Yes."

"How old is your Chief of Staff Wu from Huangpu?"

"Reporting to the Commissioner, Chief of Staff Wu graduated from the Guizhou Martial Arts Hall. Not from Huangpu."

"No wonder..."

Zhang Yong is thoughtful. It turns out he is not a student of Huangpu!

No wonder he can only be chief of staff.

Let's just say that all Huangpu students directly lead the troops and do not serve as staff officers.

This can be regarded as an unspoken rule among Huangpu students. Even if the official position is one level lower, they are all military officials.

It means company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, corps commander. Or add a deputy word in front of it. But I will definitely not be the chief of staff, because the chief of staff has no real power.

Would you like to ask Li Yunlong to be the chief of staff?

I don’t understand why Zhang Dabiao was appointed as chief of staff. He’s not professional enough!

Zhang Dabiao is a good fighter. What kind of strategy can he use?

"Let's do this. You send someone to report to your chief of staff that I have brought some ammunition. Ask them to send someone to carry it. Or you can help carry it."

"Commissioner, where is the ammunition?"

"Come with me!"

Zhang Yong took Yu Defei to the canyon behind.

It's so easy to deliver goods in mountainous areas. Just find a valley.

The canyon is filled with all kinds of ammunition.

The number of firearms is not enough, but there is plenty of ammunition, including cannonballs.

Since there is still a confrontation at the south entrance, it means that the defense line has not been lost. Then continue to fight.

Let the Japanese pay more casualties and a heavier price.

"so much……"

Yu Defei was surprised.

That much ammunition, estimated to be hundreds of thousands of rounds?

In addition to bullets, the most important ones are artillery shells, mortars, and 75mm mountain guns.

The national army is also very short of ammunition.

Except for a very small number of main troops, the other troops are not enough to form a base.

Bullets are a bit better, they can be produced by themselves. Cannonballs can barely be produced, but the quantity is very small. It can only be used by the main force.

Fortunately, this Thirteenth Army is Tang Enbo's starting army. It can also be regarded as one of the main forces.

"Move them all!"
