After the communication soldier finished speaking, Yang Jing immediately finished his speech, ran down the general station, and went up to him and asked, "What information?"

"The New Fourth Army Independent Regiment sent from Huoqiu County!" The correspondent came to Yang Jing, saluted him first, then stretched out his hands and handed a telegram to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing took it and frowned immediately.

"The Japanese actually gathered troops in Hefei?" Yang Jing murmured to himself, then turned his head to Ma Tong on the side and said, "Ma Tong! Notify the battalion commanders and the company commanders of each directly affiliated company, and immediately go to the regiment commander for a meeting and tell them that there is an emergency military information!"

"yes!"

Ma Tong responded to the promise and immediately left with several brothers from the guard company.

Yang Jing briefly explained and ordered the company commanders of each company to lead the troops to continue training, and then urgently returned to the regiment command center located in the city.

Afterwards, Yang Jing immediately sent a telegram to the head of the Fifth War Zone via the radio station.

In terms of name, the battle sequence of the Tiger Ben Regiment is still in the fifth war zone.

At the same time, Yang Jing also hopes to obtain some useful information from them.

Because, the National Party’s intelligence network is generally far stronger than the underground party organizations.

Not long after the message was sent, Yang Jing received a call back from the Fifth War Zone.

At that time, General Li Delin had already gone to Wuhan to report his duties, so General Bai Jiansheng temporarily took over the command of the Fifth War Zone.

Bai Jiansheng highly appreciates Yang Jing's strategic vision and tactical command ability.

Therefore, in his call to the Hu Ben Regiment, he not only confirmed that the intelligence of the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment was completely true, but also shared the information known to the Fifth War Zone Chief Office with Yang Jing.

Holding the telegram, Yang Jing frowned and said, "I actually dispatched an army of 100,000. It seems that the Japanese are really anxious this time!"

At this time, Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Liu Yue, Tuoer, and Long Yun all received notifications one after another and rushed over.

Fan Tietou was anxious and asked directly as soon as he entered the door: "Group, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Yang Jing said with a serious expression: "Just just received reliable information, after this period of rest, the Japanese army should be ready to attack Wuhan!

In addition, they also assembled 100,000 troops in the Hefei area. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be for us!"

"I'm good! A 100,000 army?" Fan Tietou was shocked: "The Japanese are so big, right? While attacking Wuhan, they even gathered so many troops to deal with us!"

The 3rd Battalion Commander Chen Lin not only did not fear, but instead showed a proud expression and said, "That means that our Tiger Ben Group is awesome, so the Japanese will spare no expense and send so many troops to encircle and suppress it!

Otherwise, if it is another army, I won’t want this treatment yet!”

The chief of staff, Ma Haifeng, who was seriously injured and recovered, was calmer. He picked up a baton and walked to the battle map, pointed to the map and analyzed: "I see, the Japanese gathered 10 armies in Hefei, not just to eliminate us.

Instead, we shoulder two strategic goals, the first is to eliminate us and the New Fourth Army troops entrenched in the Dabie Mountains.

Second: Follow the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, cross the Dabie Mountains, and conquer Huangchuan, Luoshan, and Xinyang, an important town in southern Henan!

Finally, we will join forces with the main force of the Japanese army in North China to go out to Wusheng Pass and go south along the Pinghan Railway to attack Wuhan!"

Yang Jing nodded deeply and gave him a thumbs-up look.

After careful cultivation during this period, Ma Haifeng's strategic vision has been greatly improved.

Because in history, the Japanese did this.

It’s just that the time should be earlier and the troops should be invested less.

Historically, the Japanese army only invested 400,000 troops, and the offensive route was divided into three groups, one of which cooperated with the naval fleet and advanced along the north and south sides of the Yangtze River to the west.

The second route was dominated by the Japanese army in North China, and launched an attack from north to south along the Pinghan Railway line from north to south from the Central Plains.

The last route was to go out to Hefei, first conquering Lu'an, Huoqiu, and Jinzhai. Then cross the Dabie Mountains, conquering Shangcheng, Huangchuan, and Xinyang, then joining forces with the Japanese army in North China, heading south along the Pinghan Railway to go out to Wusheng Pass, conquering Suizhou, and Xiaogan.

Finally, the main force of the Central and Japanese army advancing west with Shuojiang will attack Wuhan.

At the same time, the purpose of dividing troops in this way is to restrain the Chinese defenders' forces in the battle of Wuhan.

Then, he used his powerful ground-air firepower to defeat them one by one.

"No matter how many purposes this Japanese army has, one thing is certain, that is to come for us!" Yang Jing was sitting down and said with a dangerous attitude: "So, we must be prepared for the war as soon as possible!"

"If the Japanese really dispatched 100,000 troops, we can't resist even with the assistance of the New Fourth Army!" Bi Yuntao said with a brow: "So, we have to think of a complete solution!"

"Yes, although our Hu Ben regiment has just completed its expansion, more than half of them are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Moreover, they have only been in the army for less than a month, and all kinds of basic training have not been completed, so their combat effectiveness is not strong!" Ma Haifeng nodded and echoed: "So, I think it's better to avoid the edge for the time being!"

Yang Jing thought for a while and said, "Although the Japanese have 100,000 troops, the National Government will never sit idly by and watch the Japanese take the mall easily, Huangchuan, and threaten Xinyang and Wusheng Pass!

So, we are not fighting alone!”

After pausing, Yang Jing continued: "Of course, even if there are no reinforcements and friendly forces fighting side by side!

We can also adopt the method of breaking the whole into pieces, and use the vast Dabie Mountains to engage in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare with the Japanese!

This is our home court!

It is difficult for the Japanese to play their strategic roles such as tanks, aircraft, and even other heavy weapons!

As long as they dare to pursue them in depth, we can rely on the terrain to build layers of traps!

Then use mobile warfare to find opportunities to concentrate superior forces and launch a counterattack!

In addition, our Tiger Ben regiment is not inferior to the Japanese army in terms of light firepower configuration!

By then, let alone the Japanese devils only have 100,000, even if there are 200,000, we can eat them a little bit!"

As soon as Yang Jing finished speaking, a communication soldier suddenly rushed in from outside and saluted him: "Room, General Bai Jiansheng, acting chief of the Fifth War Zone Chief, was urgently sent!"

Yang Jing frowned and waved his hand and said, "Remember!"

"The enemy's heavy troops gathered in Hefei, and the troops were aimed directly at Huoqiu, Jinzhai, and the mall, Huangchuan!

I specially ordered your troops to stick to the defense lines of Jinzhai, Huoqiu and other Dabie Mountains. I have drawn the 28th Corps of Liu Ziliang and the 26th Army of Xu Yuanquan to help your troops!" The correspondent soldier said, "General Bai reiterated that our troops must stick to Huoqiu for more than seven days to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements!"

Rai'er said in a angrily voice: "My old man treats our Hu Ben Group as a firefighting team. What's the danger? Push us in!

Songjiang is like this, Kunshan is like this! This is the case in Xuzhou battlefield later, and it is still the case now!"

Yang Jing raised his hand to stop him and said, "Rait your ears and be careful! I said that my brothers from the Tiger Ben join the army to fight against Japan and fight against the Japanese in order to protect the country and to promote peace, and to the dignity of the Chinese nation!

It is for our descendants to stand proudly on the top of this world, to hold their heads up and proudly introduce to others that I am Chinese!

Instead of seeking pleasure and getting rich!

The more we push towards the dangerous place, the more we show our importance!

At the same time, it can also reduce pressure to other friendly troops. Isn’t this the fundamental meaning of the existence of my Tiger Ben Regiment?”

Rake ears don't say anything more.

Yang Jing said again: "Since Chief Bai has already made combat deployments, let's discuss the specific defense deployment next!"

As he said that, Yang Jing turned his head to look at the communications soldier and ordered: "By the way, you call Chief Bai immediately and say that my Tiger Ben will definitely stay in Huoqiu and Jinzhai for more than seven days!"

"yes!"

The communication soldier stepped forward and saluted, responded with a loud promise, and then turned around and left.

Yang Jing began to formulate defense for each battalion.

After the Tiger Ben Regiment recruited new recruits.

The 4 main battalions, as well as the artillery battalions and the logistics battalions have all returned to a scale of 1,500.

The replenishment battalion also reached 1,200 troops.

There are 300 people in the reconnaissance company, 300 people in the cavalry company, 300 people in the guard company, and 150 people in the sharp gun company.

The Special Forces Brigade also replenished its troops and restored to a full 120-person organization.

With the newly established communication company and a garrison equipped for field hospitals, the total strength of the division is nearly 12,000.

If you want to stick to Jinzhai, the people will definitely be evacuated.

Otherwise, the Japanese soldiers will be at the city and surrounded Jinzhai County.

When the war begins, the casualties of innocent people will be severe.

So, Yang Jing ordered Wang Dali and Bi Yuntao to lead the 1st battalion to evacuate the people in the city and lead them to move to the mountainous areas for temporary escape.

All the other departments were left to build fortifications.

At the same time, a group of strong and strong civilians were recruited from the people, leaving behind to help build fortifications.

As the people were about to evacuate, Yoshiko Kawashima naturally could not lurk in the city anymore.

In order to avoid exposure, she had to follow the people out of the city and hide in the mountains.

Before leaving, he sent the news that the Hu Ben Group might have to defend Jinzhai County to Okamura Yanji, who was far away in Hefei.

At this time, Okamura Yasuji's 100,000 troops had basically been assembled, and all that was left was the logistics supply troops, and they were still transporting various strategic materials continuously.

When I learned that the Hu Ben Group not only did not escape, but also had to stick to Jinzhai County.

This made Okamura Yanji very happy.

At this time, the Japanese army gathered in Hefei, including the 6th Division, the 13th Division, the 101st Division, and the 106th Division, plus the independent mixed 14th Brigade.

The total force is nearly 110,000!

It is worth mentioning that due to the successive defeats in the Battle of Fuyang and Funan, and the age of Tani Shou, he was transferred back to the base camp.
