The 74th Army assigned the task of defense and alert to the 51st Division, which was still on standby in the De'an area, and the final task fell to Zhou Zhidao's 151st Brigade.

The emergency assembly number rang in the evening, and the brethren who had dug trenches for a day rushed to assemble in a disorderly manner grabbing their guns.

"Quick, quick, let's go!" Lin Xiufeng, the head of the 302nd regiment, set off with the team before the troops were assembled.

Watching the troops of the 302nd Regiment set off in a mess, the brothers of the rest of the troops stationed around stood on tiptoe and watched.

"I heard that there is a fight ahead, so it's time for us to go." Some brothers held earthen bowls and watched the friendly troops marching out, looking a little excited.

"But we didn't receive the order, why did the 302 regiment start?" Some brothers also had doubts on their faces.

Someone shouted at the brothers from the 302 regiment who were running past, "Brothers, where are you going?" "

"I don't know." As soon as the words fell, the figure of the brother who answered had moved forward and mixed into the crowd rolling forward.

There was no time to mobilize the troops because of the urgency of their deployment. Ordinary soldiers didn't know where to go, they only knew that they were going to fight devils.

"Tuan Zuo, I found out clearly that Ruichang has fallen, and the 302nd regiment is responsible for going to Minshan to set up defenses. It's nothing to do with us."

Jiao Chaoming, who had been promoted to the 301st regiment, squeezed away the onlookers, and ran to the regiment leader Zhang Handuo and the others to report the situation.

"Let the brothers leave." Hearing Jiao Chaoming's answer, the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, waved the brothers to go back.

A few days ago, the 101st Division of the Japanese Army landed from Aikou Town, and the 153rd Brigade rushed to help and blocked them, but nothing happened to their 151st Brigade. This time the 302nd Regiment attacked, and their 301st Regiment did not receive an order, so it should not be a big deal.

"You said that Ruichang fell, and the 302nd regiment went to Minshan to fortify?" Yang Ling grabbed Jiao Chaoming, who was about to leave, for further confirmation.

Jiao Chaoming replied: "I heard what Staff Officer Zhou of the brigade headquarters said, and it should be true."

"It's broken, one regiment is not enough." Yang Ling slapped his thigh as if remembering something, and hurriedly called back Zhang Handuo, the leader of the regiment who was going back.

Seeing the solemn expression on the deputy head Yang Ling's face, Zhang Handuo stopped and asked, "Brother Yang, what's the problem?"

Naturally, Yang Ling couldn't say that the 302nd Regiment in his memory would encounter a strong enemy. He took a deep breath and calmed down and asked, "Tuan Zuo, why do you think the little devil suddenly attacked Ruichang?"

"The fall of Ruichang will pose a threat to our Nanxun line."

"Based on what I know about the little devil, since the little devil wants to threaten the back of my Nanxun line, it won't be enough to capture Ruichang. They will definitely take Minshan Mountain with all their strength in the next step!" Yang Ling said firmly.

Yang Ling continued: "The little devils will definitely march towards Minshan with all their strength, and the 302nd Regiment of Commander Lin will definitely not be able to stop them. They will be very dangerous. Once Minshan falls, then our troops on the Nanxun line will also be in danger .

After hearing Yang Ling's analysis, the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, also changed his face. If this is the case, then the 302nd regiment's departure may be more or less ominous.

"Go, report the situation to the brigade." Zhang Handuo, the team leader, also realized the seriousness of the problem, and took Yang Ling straight to the brigade headquarters.

But when they arrived at the brigade headquarters, the guards said that the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao had gone to the division headquarters for a meeting, and they had to rush to the division headquarters again.

At the division headquarters, they finally met brigade commander Zhou Zhidao, and Yang Ling hurriedly told brigade commander Zhou Zhidao about his analysis.

"Deputy Commander Yang, are you a little alarmist? According to intelligence, it was only a brigade under the Japanese 9th Division who captured Ruichang. It was not so much a premeditated move as a random one. After all, their direction of attack has always been to the southwest."

Facing Yang Ling's statement, the brigade chief of staff calmly expressed his rebuttal.

"What if the Japanese army changes its direction of attack? When Minshan falls, who will be responsible? At that time, the 302 brothers of the 3000nd regiment will face a division of little devils." Yang Ling was also a little anxious, and shouted loudly The chief of staff reasoned.

In Yang Ling's memory, the Battle of Minshan happened. Although he didn't remember it clearly, he knew that the devils would attack Minshan, but he couldn't produce evidence now.

"Deputy Commander Yang, even if the little devil intends to attack Minshan, the 302nd Regiment with more than 3000 people will be able to defend it for a day or two, and we will have time to reinforce it."

Seeing the chief of staff standing and talking without pain in his back, Yang Ling really wanted to go up and punch him, but now he has no proof, everything is from his own memory, so he is helpless.

"You guys go back first, I already know about this." Just when Yang Ling wanted to continue talking, brigade commander Zhou Zhidao issued an order to evict the passengers.

Yang Ling wanted to say something else, but Zhang Handuo, the head of the regiment, secretly tugged at his sleeve, bid farewell to the brigade commander, and pulled Yang Ling away.

"Young people nowadays are so impetuous. After receiving a compliment from the teacher, they think they can do everything. Do you really think that our staff members are for nothing?" Watching Yang Ling and the others leave, the chief of staff shook his head helplessly.

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao also said with a smile: "It's always good for young people to have some drive. It's better than some people who eat vegetarian food. Don't worry too much about it."

"But you also have to be disciplined. The army has military regulations, and we can't let them do anything wrong, otherwise it would be a mess." The chief of staff said with emotion.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Brigadier Zhou Zhidao ended the topic.

Text Chapter 439 Emergency Rescue

Yang Ling's report to the brigade headquarters was not taken seriously because of the interference of the chief of staff, which made him very annoyed.

But most of what he knew came from his own vague memory, and now he couldn't come up with convincing evidence, so he was very helpless.

Thinking that the 0nd Regiment, which had gone to the front line of Minshan Mountain, might encounter a strong enemy and lose many excellent soldiers, he couldn't calm down and was a little upset.

"Brother Yang, don't blame me for talking too much. The chief of staff is our chief after all. Don't talk back to him in the future. If things go on like this, it won't do us any good."

Seeing Yang Ling's complexion a little bit bad, thinking that he was unhappy about being pushed back by the chief of staff, Zhang Handuo sighed, and still expressed his inner thoughts.

Although Zhang Handuo didn't like those people in the staff office, he also knew that if he confronted them, they would definitely suffer.

Yang Ling complained dissatisfiedly: "As a staff officer, you must know the situation of the enemy's and our troops' as well as the terrain, climate, roads and other conditions in the combat area so that the commander can make correct decisions. Do you see what our staff officers have done?"

Zhang Handuo also shook his head slightly. If the staff really did what Yang Ling said, how could their troops always fall into a passive state.

Their brothers threw their heads and blood for the life and death of the nation and were not afraid of death, but Yang Ling didn't want them to be killed by the group of advisers who talked on paper.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that Yang Ling was in a bad mood, Zhang Handuo changed the subject in time.

Yang Ling stopped in his tracks, looking at the darkened camp amidst the rolling hills due to the blackout, he took a deep breath and said, "I can't count on going to the brigade headquarters. Now I have to send someone to remind Commander Lin. I hope there will be time."

Zhang Handuo agreed with Yang Ling's opinion, turned around and told the adjutant: "Immediately ask the communication team to send someone to ride a fast horse to the 0nd Regiment to remind Commander Lin Xiufeng that the [-]th Brigade of the Japanese Army may also be marching towards Minshan Mountain." , let him pay attention."

"Yes!" After a moment of hesitation, the adjutant paid a military salute and quickly stepped into the darkness, intending to remind them in the name of friendly troops.

Although their 51st Division can be regarded as the main infantry division in the sequence of the National Revolutionary Army, the radio station is only assigned to the brigade level, and units below the regiment and battalion rely on temporary telephone communication.

And now that Lin Xiufeng's 0nd Regiment was on its way to Minshan, Yang Ling and the others could only send out communications soldiers, hoping to make it in time.

Yang Ling thought for a while and said to Zhang Handuo: "If they encounter the Japanese army in Minshan, our regiment will inevitably be involved in the battle, and we have to prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry."

The deployment of troops is not simply a matter of walking away. Preparation of dry food, dismantling of heavy weapons, loading and unloading of ammunition, packing of salutes, assembly of battalions, and marching order of troops will delay a lot of time.

Zhang Handuo also knew very well in his heart that if the 0nd Regiment really fought with the Japanese army, their regiment would definitely not be able to escape and would have to send reinforcements up, so he had no objection to Yang Ling's proposal, so be prepared.

"Then let's split up. I'll go back to the regiment headquarters and gather the staff to formulate a marching battle plan. You split up and notify each battalion to be ready to move out at any time."

The regiment leader Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling left in a hurry after saying goodbye, and Yang Ling also went straight to each battalion to notify them separately.

"Deputy regiment, are we going to fight?" Wang Huzi and the others immediately became excited when they heard that they were ready to attack at any time.

These days, they have been digging trenches and training in De'an all day long, and their hands are already itchy watching the friendly troops fighting lively in front.
