With the large number of Japanese troops annihilated in Teng County, Xia Yang's merit points have become much richer. He spent hundreds of thousands of merit points to raise the equipment level of the Fourth Brigade to a whole new level based on the original level.
After the second level reward is opened, the things he can buy have been greatly improved compared to before.
As for the third-level rewards after the second-level rewards, the items that can be purchased are even more attractive.
Even the mountain cannon and field cannon that Xia Yang coveted can be purchased in the system. But if he wants to unlock the third-level reward, he still needs to annihilate at least 10,000 Japanese troops before he can unlock this reward.
The days without the sound of gunfire did not last long.
On March 25, the 93rd Brigade of the 31st Army of the 2nd Group Army searched for the Japanese troops northward on the Taierzhuang line. On the way, they encountered the vanguard of the Japanese army heading south.
There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides. Although the 93rd Brigade was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment, it was very tenacious in repelling the waves of Japanese attacks.
Seeing that they could not hold off for a long time, the Japanese army mobilized heavy artillery to bombard it. The 93rd Brigade suffered heavy casualties and retreated into Taierzhuang.
After receiving the news, Xia Yang stood on the battlefield from time to time and looked in the direction of Taierzhuang.
Xia Yang felt an unprecedented honor to be able to personally experience the upcoming battle and fight with these anti-Japanese comrades to resist the Japanese invasion.
At this time, stationed in Taierzhuang was the Chifengcheng 31st Division of the Second Army.
This unit is the ace unit of Sun Lianzhong¡¯s Second Group Army. It has nearly 10,000 people, is well-equipped, and has relatively high-quality soldiers. The combat effectiveness is relatively strong.
According to the original history, the Japanese army officially attacked Taierzhuang on March 27th.
There are still two days left before that time.
But Xia Yang noticed one detail, that is, according to the original historical trend, the first time the Japanese army exchanged fire with the national army near Taierzhuang was on March 23, 1938.
But now, the time for the battle between the Japanese army and the 93rd Brigade of the Chinese Army has become March 25. This is two full days later than the historical time.
Xia Yang thought about it. In this era, he has begun to influence the course of history to a certain extent.
For example, this time, his fourth brigade originally did not go to support Teng County. The 122nd Division could hold out in Teng County for at most three days before being directly defeated by the Japanese army.
But it¡¯s different now. Because of the participation of the Fourth Brigade, the Japanese army¡¯s capture of Teng County was delayed by two days. And these two days also delayed a lot of time in the follow-up.
However, the extra two days will allow the Fifth War Zone to mobilize more troops to assemble near Taierzhuang.
Because Xia Yang had stated the intention of the Japanese Tenth Division to attack Taierzhuang at a military meeting long before. The subsequent offensive and defensive lines of the Japanese army also confirmed Xia Yang's statement.
Therefore, the Fifth War Zone used this time to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and set up defenses near Taierzhuang.
In order to lure the Japanese army to fight deep in the Taierzhuang area, Commander-in-Chief Li also asked Commander Tang's 20th Army to make way for the Japanese army on Jinpu Road to allow the Japanese army to pass.
Although Isotani Rensuke was outside Teng County and Jiaxiang County, he suffered a certain degree of losses. But he is still very arrogant.
At this time, the Japanese Fifth Division's offensive on the eastern front had been frustrated.
Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong successfully blocked the Fifth Division's offensive on the eastern front, preventing the Fifth Division from joining the Tenth Division in Taierzhuang.
The real battle is getting closer and closer, and the reporter from France, Olia, is very familiar with it. Within a few days, she has become familiar with the positions of the Fourth Brigade.
Under the leadership of Cai Heyuan, what she does every day is very simple, which is to visit the soldiers and ask them some questions.
When Xia Yang inspected the position, he happened to see her interviewing a veteran of the Fourth Brigade from Shanxi.
That soldier was a soldier Xia Yang recruited near Lingqiu County. At this time, he left his hometown thousands of miles and came to fight in the Xuzhou area.
Olya¡¯s Chinese is pretty good. She held a notebook and carefully recorded it in the notebook while asking the soldiers questions.
"You are from Shanxi, Shanxi, is this here?" Olia held up a map of the Republic of China and pointed at the soldier in Shanxi.
That soldier couldn¡¯t read a map, but he knew some words because of the literacy class held by the Fourth Brigade.
?"Yes, right here, our home is here." The soldier said with a smile.
Olya asked: "China is really too big for you. Do you want to leave your hometown so far to fight here? Will you miss home?"
When the soldier heard this, he smiled gloomily and said, "What can I do if I miss home? My home is gone! When the little devils were raiding, they killed the family members, hung them on the trees, and shot them with heavy machine guns. I Only when you run into the mountains can you be considered alive.¡±
"Why are they massacring civilians?" Olya asked. In her opinion, war is a matter for soldiers and innocent people should not be massacred.
"They said we were harboring guerrillas and asked us to hand over the guerrillas, and then they started killing people. The stupid little devils never reason for killing people." The soldier said, his eyes and tone were filled with emotion. Somewhat angry.
Olya¡¯s eyes were a little sad. In fact, she had asked those soldiers in the past few days.
There are soldiers and relatives inside. But some soldiers have only one person left in the family.
Olya grew up in peaceful France. She never had good food and clothing, but she never experienced poverty, hunger, or the death of her family members due to war.
"Miss Olia, excuse me." Xia Yang said at this time.
Olya raised her head and looked at Xia Yang, and then said: "Brigadier Xia, why are you here free?"
Xia Yang said at this time: "I am here to remind you that the Japanese army will attack in a few days. Miss Olia, in order to ensure your safety, I think it is best for you to go to Xuzhou or other places." A safer place.
"This is the front line. Cannonballs don't have eyes. If I injure you, I can't afford to cause any diplomatic incident." "
But Olia said: "Thank you, Brigadier Xia. But I want to experience such a war personally. This is what I should do as a war reporter. I want to tell more about everything that happened here. Many people.¡±
Xia Yang looked at Olia with firm eyes and knew that he could not stop this girl, so he said: "Okay! Miss Olia, I won't force you. But you have to listen to Cai Heyuan, especially on the battlefield, otherwise You could lose your life." (Remember this website: www.hlnovel.com
