    Chen Daxing was indeed saved. That night, Wang Jinna spent more than eight hours carefully removing the nearly fatal bullet from his pericardium, and then carefully sutured his wound. However, within a month or two,  I'm afraid his wound won't heal well. It won't take too long to heal. He just needs to regain his strength, but it will take half a year.

    Chen Daxing¡¯s newlywed wife didn¡¯t know about the situation until the next day, and came over to see him in tears. He hadn¡¯t woken up at that time.

    That night, Zhang Xian was indeed exhausted. As soon as he fell down, he slept for two days and two nights. During this period, the division commander and chief of staff came three or four times, but he did not wake up.  Wang Jinna has always been by his side, so when he woke up, the first thing he saw was Wang Jinna.  The two people seemed to have a lot to say, but others did not give them the opportunity to be alone together. That Xiong Sanwa was a brainless person. When he saw Zhang Xian woke up, he happily spread the news everywhere. For a while, Zhang Xian's battalion commander's dormitory  There was an endless stream, from top to bottom, the division commander, chief of staff, deputy division commander, as well as Wang Yuanling, Zhang Muli, Huang Xinyuan, as well as the following company commanders, company deputy, platoon leader, and squad leader. Everyone cared about him very much and wanted to  Know how he rescued the Yankee.  In fact, Chang Liqiang, Xiong Sanwa and Liu Xiaohu had already told everyone this many times before Zhang Xian woke up, but everyone still wanted to hear Zhang Xian tell it in person.

    Commander Hu told Zhang Xian that the 11th Division had received the award from the commission.  That Mike was sent to Chongqing. Chennault personally expressed his gratitude to the commissioner. When the commissioner was happy, he gave the 11th Division a commendation order and also issued a fourth-class Yunhui Medal to Zhang Xian.

    ¡°But Zhang Xian felt that he was somewhat short-changed for this military medal. The real hero should be Ma Wenlong, not him.  Of course he also knew that the commissioner would never award a medal to a commander of the New Fourth Army.

    Peng Tianguang, the commander of the 18th Army, also came once. He came to personally award medals to Zhang Xian. Although there was some distance between him and the commander of the 11th Division, he still showed a very generous attitude in front of this middle- and lower-level officer.  He also rewarded Zhang Xian with three hundred yuan, which was almost four months of Zhang Xian's salary.  For ordinary people, these three hundred oceans are a lot of money, and they can only buy enough salt for one or two years; but for Zhang Xian, there are all the supplies needed for life in the military camp, and he himself  I still had an income of more than 80 yuan a month, so I distributed all 300 yuan to my brothers.  Chen Daxing needed to rest because of his injury, so Zhang Xian gave him one hundred yuan.  Chang Liqiang, Liu Xiaohu and Xiong Sanwa, who went on the mission with him, each paid fifty yuan.  Zhang Xian did not keep the remaining fifty yuan for himself. Instead, he paid another fifty yuan and collected a hundred yuan to ask the cook to go to the countryside to purchase some meat and improve the food for the whole battalion of soldiers.  The whole camp was happy.

    In the following time, life returned to the previous situation. For Zhang Xianhe and the independent battalion, they continued to train, reinforce fortifications, and take precautions.  The Japs on the other side of the river also became quiet and stopped destroying and attacking Shipai. This kind of tranquility made people feel very uncomfortable, and everyone vaguely felt that the enemy seemed to be brewing some conspiracy.

    Sometimes, Zhang Xian would lead people to quietly cross the river and do some work such as sabotage and harassment behind the enemy.  And these tasks are often assigned by the above.  Zhang Xian knew that if he had his own intelligence personnel in Yichang City, there would definitely be corresponding transmission channels. When this information is transmitted, it will eventually form a mission, and he and his independent battalion will unknowingly become  the ultimate executor of these tasks.

    In the next few months, Zhang Xian's missions were all risky guerrilla activities. He robbed the Japanese's baggage convoy and burned more than ten cars of Japanese rations; he led his troops to conduct an attack on the Tumenya Military Airport.  Assault, more than 20 Japanese planes were blown up; the Japanese patrol boats cruising on the river near Yichang were lured, so that they were eventually sunk by the national army's artillery, raising the entire river defense to a higher level; five Japanese patrol boats were attacked at night on the banks of the Yichang River.  It built a fortress to ensure that grain ships from Dongting Lake could move up to Sichuan smoothly; it assisted the navy in laying mines on the Yichang River so that Japanese warships would not dare to leave the port easily.

    Although these tasks are dangerous, they will deal a heavy blow to the enemy.  Every time, Zhang Xian was able to complete it successfully, so that he became the most dazzling edge of the 11th Division and even the 18th Army. Even the theater headquarters as far away as Enshi could hear this name frequently.  Only the officers of the 11th Division, such as Commander Hu and Chief of Staff Luo, knew how thrilling and life-threatening Zhang Xian's honors were behind him!

    ****************

    Another year has passed, but the Spring Festival of the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943 AD) was not peaceful.

    In the summer of the previous year, due to the bombing of the Japanese mainland by the American Allied Forces, JapanThe Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign was launched with the purpose of destroying the airports along the coast of Zhejiang. The campaign did not end until September.  This battle ended with the victory of the Japanese and the defeat of the Chinese army. The Japanese got the result they wanted, and the Chinese and American air forces had to move the airport backwards again, to places such as Hunan and Guangxi in the middle of the land.  From this time on, Zhijiang Airport became the largest air force base in China's theater.

    The outbreak of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War also temporarily calmed down the battlefields in Hubei and Hunan during this year.

    But the calm is only temporary.  As soon as the Spring Festival arrived, the Japanese launched another round of attacks. This time the target was the entire Jianghan Plain and the opening of the Yangtze River waterway from Wuhan to Yichang.

    South of the Han River in the Jianghan Plain, north of the Honghu Lake of the Yangtze River, west of Shayang, and east of Wuhan, there are two divisions of the National Army stationed. The counties to the east are the headquarters of the 128th Division affiliated to the Fifth Theater, while the west is close to Jiangling  Shashi is the headquarters of the 118th Division of the Sixth War Zone.  The commander of the 128th Division was named Wang. Because of his bravery in combat, everyone called him Wang Laohu. What is interesting is that this division is not a direct line of the national army, but a unit of the Northwest Army in Yang Hucheng.  Wang Laohu led his troops to fight in Henan and Shandong. Finally, after the Wuhan Battle, he was stationed in Xianning in southern Hubei. He was worried that Tang Enbo of the Ninth War Zone would dismember him, so he killed the deputy division commander he sent. He led his troops to cross the Yangtze River westward and integrated them after the Wuhan Battle.  The defeated armies of all parties, bandits, and local armed forces formed a powerful force of nearly 30,000 people in the 9th Brigade and 18th Regiment, and became the feudal lords of one side.  In desperation, Chongqing had no choice but to classify its troops as subordinates of Li Zongren in the fifth theater.  Although Wang Laohu had a tense relationship with Chongqing, he was able to get along with Mu and cooperate with the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army to the north. He also fought several tough battles with the Japanese and annihilated thousands of enemy invaders, which the Japanese did not dare to underestimate.  However, Wang Laohu was never ambiguous in the fight against Japan, and he was never soft-hearted. Because he controlled the strategic area of ????Jianghan Plain and stared covetously at Wuhan, an important town in central China, he also became a confidant of the Japanese.

    Zhang Xian, the tiger king, has seen this before. When he led his troops back to Shipai from behind enemy lines, he passed by his defense area and had a chance encounter with Commander Wang. At that time, Commander Wang wanted to keep Zhang Xian with him.  He was offered the position of regimental commander, but Zhang Xian politely declined.

    The Japanese's battle plan has long been drawn up and is divided into three periods. In the first period, it will take one week to defeat the 118th Division of the National Army and occupy the left bank of the Yangtze River from Jiangling to Shishou; in the second period, it will take another week to attack Honghu.  The nearby 128th Division of the National Army, Wang Laohu's division, launched an encirclement and suppression campaign to completely eliminate the threat from Wuhan and capture the entire Jianghan Plain.  In the third period, it will take another two weeks to use part of the army to occupy key areas on the south bank of the Yangtze River and open up the golden waterway from Wuhan to Shashi in one fell swoop.

    On February 13, the Japanese army was assembled, and 100,000 troops gathered on both sides of the Yangtze River.  The first battle started in Jianli. That day happened to be February 15th, the first day of the first lunar month. A regiment of the 44th Army of the Sixth War Zone was celebrating the New Year nearby. The Japanese were caught off guard and were defeated in a hurry. The next day  , the Japanese invaded Jianli City.  By the 18th, the Japanese had forced back the 118th Division of the National Army in Jiangbei and completed the first phase of the plan.  After the 118th Division broke through, they crossed the Yangtze River and went south, and were reorganized into the 87th Army.

    While the Japanese were attacking, the Japanese troops in Nanchang, Yueyang, Zhijiang and other places feigned attacks on the Chinese troops facing them to contain the national troops.

    After completing the first phase of the plan, the Japanese immediately started the second phase of the plan.  Because a brigade commander in the 128th Division was a traitor, the fighting lasted from the 18th to the 25th. Wang Laohu, the commander of the 128th Division, was injured and captured, and many soldiers were forced to surrender.  It is worth mentioning that when the 128th Division was besieged, the neighboring national troops in the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater refused to help. Instead, they used them as bait and concentrated the 22nd Army and the 2nd Army.  A large number of troops including the 10th Army and the 6th Army launched a counter-encirclement attack on the Japanese and puppet troops. They killed and wounded more than 13,000 Japanese and puppet troops, captured more than 5,000 people, and killed the commander of the Japanese 58th Division.  A major victory for Ichiho.  After the battle, an unrecognizable corpse was found in Wang Laohu's headquarters. The national army thought that Wang Laohu had sacrificed his life for the country. For publicity purposes, they posthumously made him a second-level general of the army and awarded him a first-level general.  A Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun.

    After successfully completing the second phase of the plan, the Japanese immediately prepared the third phase of the plan.  Beginning on March 2, they seized beachheads such as Huarong, Shishou and Public Security on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Although the national army also fought for it several times and exchanged fierce fire, although the counterattack made progress, it was finally abandoned due to the tenacious resistance of the Japanese army.  By the end of March, the national army stopped attacking and adopted a defensive posture, and the Battle of Jiangbei came to an end.

    But this is not the end of a battle, but the beginning of a bigger battle!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
