    After hearing his order, the troops of the fourth brigade began to line up neatly and move forward.

    Under the cover of night, the teams of the Fourth Brigade were extremely neat, but extremely silent.  The soldiers of the 138th Brigade next to them were also in awe as they looked at these soldiers who had just come off the battlefield.

    "Prince, were you really planning to shoot him just now?" Hu San asked Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang put the Mauser gun in his hand on his waist and said, "Of course! If I don't kill him today, my surname will not be Xia."

    With that said, he shouted: "Brothers! Don't be downcast, let's sing a song!"

    "Chop off the heads of the devils with the big knife!"

    Xia Yang¡¯s voice echoed in the wasteland outside Teng County.  Hearing Xia Yang start, the soldiers walking silently also started singing along.

    Their voices were low at first, but as their emotions were aroused, their voices became more and more passionate.

    In front of them was an endless plain.  And behind them is a country that is about to fall.

    Their blood flowed on that land.  The bodies of thousands of soldiers are buried there.

    In this battle, Xia Yang's fourth brigade lost more than 800 soldiers.  The original team of more than 3,000 people was reduced to only more than 2,500 people in a blink of an eye.

    But the Japanese army also paid a very heavy price, Xia Yang learned from the rising merit points in the Huangsha Hundred Battles system.

    In this battle, they annihilated nearly 2,000 Japanese troops alone.

    When the national army at that time faced the Japanese army, even if it could achieve a one-to-one exchange of numbers, it could be regarded as a great achievement.

    What's more, in the Battle of Tengxian County, when the Japanese army faced the Fourth Brigade, they lost almost two soldiers before they could kill one soldier of the Fourth Brigade.

    But Xia Yang was still very sad in his heart.

    While grieving, he also felt angry.  If the 138th Brigade at that time could support them in time, then his troops would never have suffered such huge losses.

    Even Huang Chuan's 132nd Regiment and Commander Wang's 122nd Division would not suffer such huge losses.

    Even if the 138th Brigade does not send troops to assist them in fighting, but only allows their subordinate artillery battalions to provide certain artillery support, it can be of great help to them.

    ¡°But Wen Haoxuan didn¡¯t do any of this.  He just seemed to be watching two wild beasts fighting in a cage.  And he was just an uninvolved bystander.

    "Brigadier, why didn't you ask the 138th Brigade for help at that time? Didn't you say that? Special times require special choices." Xiao Yuebing asked Xia Yang.

    But Xia Yang said: "Boy, remember, I can beg some people, and it doesn't matter if I kneel down to beg them. But there are some people, I can't beg them. Because of these people, even if you kneel down, you can't beg them."  If he kowtows, he will only laugh at you and not provide you with any help."

    Xiao Yuebing nodded as if he understood, and then said: "Is Wen Haoxuan the kind of person behind?"

    Xia Yang said: "I don't know if he is the one, I just don't want to bow to him!"

    His voice was drowned by the footsteps of the team.  A military song passed, and the originally tired team now held their heads high.

    People in the Fourth Brigade cannot bow or surrender to anyone!

    It was already two days later when we arrived at Taierzhuang.

    While Xia Yang was on the road, he received a commendation order from Commander-in-Chief Li.

    Commander-in-Chief Li is different from the Chairman. The Chairman¡¯s commendation order is just a commendation order and nothing else.  But Commander-in-Chief Li is different. His commendation orders all come with prizes.

    Xia Yang lost more than 800 people in this battle.  But when he arrived at Taierzhuang on the first day, Commander-in-Chief Li directly added a thousand new soldiers to him.

    Most of these soldiers were recruited after simple training.  However, in the Fifth War Zone, which was short of soldiers at the time, Commander-in-Chief Li was able to mobilize such a group of troops to replenish Xia Yang, which can be said to be extremely benevolent.

    The fourth brigade is undergoing preparations in Taierzhuang. In addition to replenishing ammunition, it also conducts intensive training for the new soldiers.

    During training, let these new recruits be together with the veterans so that they can integrate into the army faster.

    In addition to these, Xia Yang also needs to deal with one more thing, and that is interviews with reporters.

    Because of the battle in Teng County, the four brigades led by Xia Yang annihilated the enemyMore than two thousand people.  Coupled with the number of enemies annihilated by the 122nd Division and the 132nd Regiment, they annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese Isoya Division in the first battle in Teng County.

    Although Teng County was lost, it was worthy of the Kuomintang¡¯s propaganda department.  After all, since the war began, the entire Chinese battlefield has basically been in defeat.

    This battle in Teng County is really too inspiring.

    In order to gain a greater advantage in international public opinion.  This time, there were even many reporters from abroad on the Xuzhou battlefield.

    Xia Yang also admires the way that the top leaders of the Kuomintang Party used the advantage of public opinion to win sympathy from the West and thus obtain equipment from the West.

    For example, during the Battle of Songhu, the "Eight Hundred Soldiers" who stayed at the Sihang Warehouse were an example of how the top leaders of the Kuomintang used it to gain an advantage in international public opinion.

    From the "humanitarian" West with a mouthful of "humanitarianism" to deceive materials and equipment, sometimes it is necessary to sell miserably.

    On the second day after arriving in Taierzhuang, Xia Yang was directly summoned to Xuzhou by Commander-in-Chief Li to attend some kind of "press conference"

    He has no interest in this "press conference" or anything like that. When he goes to Xuzhou this time, he still wants to get some more equipment.

    The best thing is to ask for an artillery battalion directly.

    Of course, he also knew that this was almost impossible.  It is not an exaggeration to say that a "motley army" like him wants to recruit an artillery battalion from above to be attached to it, but it is a daydream.

    "But the artillery battalion is not enough. Ammunition supplies and so on. If you can ask for more, you still have to ask for more."

    ¡°After all, the Battle of Taierzhuang will be more tragic than the Battle of Teng County.

    The Fifth War Zone has received news that the Japanese Tenth Division is currently undergoing repairs in Teng County.  Behind them, soldiers and various weapons and equipment were continuously transported by train.

    On the other side, in Taierzhuang, the construction of defense fortifications in charge of Commander Sun Lianzhong is also coming to an end.

    Xia Yang and his fourth brigade were stationed on a defensive line outside Taierzhuang.

    The place where he was stationed was not an important defensive position.  The little devil's main attack direction should not be placed there.  I don't know whether Commander-in-Chief Li felt sorry for his troops and didn't want him to suffer greater losses, or he didn't trust him enough and didn't dare to hand over important defensive positions to him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
