    In the Nanjing mansion, Cai Gongshi was packing up documents. Since Yang Qiu had decided to go to the north to take charge in person, he, the secretary-general, had to be more prepared.  In addition to the books and documents he usually needs to read, there are also some personal belongings, which he needs to worry about.

    To be honest, he is as worried about this battle as everyone else. Although he has seen the combat capabilities of many troops since he became Secretary-General Yang Qiu, and has seen equipment that he could not even imagine in his first half of his life, not every unit of the National Defense Force is an elite.  , in addition to the five divisions and three ** brigades that followed Yang Qiu in the early years, there are only four central guard divisions that can fight the Japanese army. However, it is impossible to mobilize all the elites for this battle, and the 104th Division has been confirmed to be stationed.  Nanjing will not leave. The 3rd Division needs to help defend the southeast and Shanghai. The 5th Division is deployed in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, so only six main divisions can be invested.  Fortunately, Song Ziqing was afraid of an accident and temporarily transferred back the Sixth Brigade, which had been stationed in Xikang for a long time. However, this move was also more risky. After all, Britain and Japan were allies. Without the deterrence of the Sixth Brigade, the army, which had been unstable, would only  We can rely on the 8th Brigade and the National Guard stationed in Sichuan.

    With the exception of six divisions and one ** brigade, the rest of the troops invested were ineffective. Even if Song Ziqing, Cai E and others continued to strengthen their troop training, only God knows whether they can be put to use.

    After packing up, he looked at his watch. Cai Gongshi wanted to go upstairs to inform him of the time, but stopped. The couple were usually busy with work and rarely got together. They didn't know how long it would take this time, so they were about to call the train station to inform them.  After waiting for a while, Rui Yao rushed in, looking anxious: "Mr. Cai, Brother Yang"

    Cai Gongshi had met Rui Yao many times, and also knew about Yang Qiu's partnership in opening a shipping company with her. He also knew that there was such a close affection between the two. Commander Yang was outstanding in the military and performed well in politics, but in  He seemed to be very reluctant to let go when it came to the issue of men and women, so he made the girl wait for several years.  She secretly laughed in her heart and wanted to take the opportunity to make a match, so she simply pointed upstairs: "It's up there." Ruiyao was anxious about Yang Qiu, so she forgot to ask if Miao Luo was there and ran upstairs, causing Mr. Cai behind her to laugh secretly.

    In the bedroom, Miao Luo's eyes turned red and she clutched Yang Qiu's arm. In the past, she went out to do errands, but this time she had to go to the front line in person. Guns don't have eyes. If anything goes wrong thinking of these  She was so confused that she wished she could keep him here, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. All her thoughts finally turned into one sentence: "Be careful."

    Yang Qiu felt very sorry for Miao Luo. After marrying her, she kept getting together and going away more. For a woman, marrying someone like him is really not a good choice.  He gently pinched her white cheeks and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, if more than a dozen divisions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers can't protect me, then I might as well take you to America to be a fool."

    Miao Luo sniffed and whispered, "Chen Hua, how about I send a telegram to ask my eldest brother to come back"

    "Brother is doing a good job in Guangxi now, but sending a telegram makes him worried. Besides, I still have Lei Meng here." As soon as Yang Qiu finished speaking, Rui Yao rushed in from outside and said nervously: "That elm lump  Can you do it? Why don't I go with you."

    "Senior sister" Miao Luo, who had been holding back his worries just now, saw her and threw herself into his arms as if seeing a relative and started twitching. After seeing this, Ruiyao became even more nervous and opened her coat to reveal the strength inside.  Pretending: "I am also the leader of a gang. Normally four or five strong men can't get close to me. You can feel more at ease if I go to the junior sister."

    In fact, Yang Qiu also knew that Rui Yao was interested in him, so in the past few years, his sister-in-law would come to stay at home from time to time when she was alone. However, he always had a knot in his heart, fearing that if the news about his concubinage spread, it would affect other people's views on the National Society.  At this moment, he was very grateful to see her risking his own safety. He took a few steps forward and looked at her beautiful eyes full of worry, and suddenly hugged her: "Take good care of Luo'er, I will be fine."

    "You" Rui Yao was startled by his sudden move and was wrapped around her before she could react. Unfortunately, the time was too short and Yang Qiu let go without even tasting the taste.  But this action still made her pretty face blush, and she gouged out Yang Qiu's eyes fiercely. It didn't sound like she was angry, but it seemed like she was sayingyour wife is still here.

    Miao Luo, who had just left Ruiyao's arms, was also slightly stunned. He didn't know what he thought of and bit his lip without saying anything.  While the two women were busy with their own thoughts, Yang Qiu had already looked at his watch and grabbed his bag: "The time is up, take good care of yourself, I'll be fine."

    The two girls were still worried about Yang Qiu and held each other's arms to send him downstairs. But as soon as they reached the bottom, Song Ziqing rushed in and almost hit the guard carrying the suitcase. Seeing his face turned red and in such a hurry, Cai Gongshi was worried.  Jump!  Thinking of the core battle of the past few days, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Is it Motian Ridge?"

    "Yes!"

    Song Ziqing excitedly saluted Yang Qiu, handed the telegram to him and said: "The telegram from Zian (characterized by Yue Peng). Yesterday."At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the 1st Brigade, the 38th Brigade and the 41st Brigade launched a general attack on the remnants of the Motianling Araki Regiment at the same time. It has lasted 29 hours since 10 o'clock in the morning. Although the Araki Regiment burned the regiment flag and launched a jade-breaking attack at the last moment,  But they were all beaten back by the troops. The preliminary results have come out. A total of more than 6,400 people from the Araki Regiment were killed, and the remaining less than a thousand people were all injured and captured!  Wing Commander Sadao Araki committed suicide by disemboweling himself. The wing flag was burned, but the flagpole and braid have been found and the pilots are transporting them back to Beijing.  "

    "Very good!"

    Before Yang Qiu could read the battle report, all the guards beside him jumped up. Even the steady Cai Gongshi waved his fist fiercely. The two women behind him also had beautiful eyes shining, leaning on each other and smiling sweetly. Even the worries in their hearts could not be alleviated.  few.

    Song Ziqing took note of everyone's performance and was indescribably happy because this was the goal he wanted to achieve in this battle. In addition to taking advantage of Japan's early opportunity to underestimate the enemy and knock out the forwards to give a serious boost to their morale, this was also a rare opportunity to improve the nation's morale.  The opportunity for morale and the regiment flags were all burned, which meant that from now on, the 38th Regiment of the 16th Division, which was running rampant south of Fengtian and northeast of Korea, was completely gone!

    However, the cost of this battle was also extremely high. Not to mention the 48 heavy artillery pieces and 2 armored battalions mobilized to annihilate the Araki Regiment, a total of 4 brigades were mobilized, with a total troop strength of 24,000, and 8 types of ammunition of various types consumed.  Ten thousand shots were fired, and nearly 4,000 soldiers were spilled on the battlefield. Especially the elite 2nd Brigade was basically paralyzed. It was impossible to recover within half a year.

    The price was expensive. Although it seemed that the journey was going smoothly, Yang Qiu could see many problems. The 2nd Brigade was already one of the most elite forces in his hands, and the individual firepower was armed to the teeth. The fact that there were such heavy casualties made him heartbroken.  I have to praise the Japanese army, and this is still in a field environment where the Araki Regiment is unaware of the situation and despises the pride of going deep alone. If the Japanese army uses such equipment to defend Motianling, the cost on their side will definitely be greater.

    But this sacrifice is worth it, no matter what!  The complete annihilation of a large elite unit of the Japanese army proved that they can also be defeated!  It further proves that the gap between the National Defense Forces and the Japanese army is not unreachable, and the 16th Division only has half its strength left!  As long as this news comes out, the morale of the second-line troops will definitely rise greatly, and the whole country will also gain a lot of confidence in winning!

    "Send a nationwide telegram! No matter what method is used, the captured fragments of the coalition flag must be reported tomorrow morning!" When Yang Qiu handed the telegram to Cai Gong, he looked back and saw the two women quickly getting into the car.

    Shortly after the special train left Pukou Pier, the news of the Battle of Motianling finally began to spread outside after being concealed for several days. The first people to get accurate information were Germany and the United States. This was because observers from both countries had witnessed the battle with their own eyes.  war, and was very interested in the new artillery and light machine guns and other equipment brought out by the National Defense Forces.

    "What!"

    "What!"

    "This is real?"

    Exclamations spread rapidly from the German and American embassies, followed by cheers or silence. Such explosive news in the Far East cannot be concealed at all. The difference is only a few days earlier and a few days later.

    The United States, which was not very interested in the war, saw the possibility of using China's hand to contain the increasingly restless Japan. However, Prince Hangel and Reinhardt were breathing heavily in response to the telegrams sent back by the observers.  Neither of them believed that the Wehrmacht could defeat Japan, and that it would only be a draw at best. Therefore, the idea of ??the two of them, and even of Germany as a whole, was to provide support and then disrupt the Far East, forcing Britain, France, and Russia to shift some of their energy here. But now the two countries  People have some ideas.

    Judging from the news sent back by several observers, the number of Wehrmacht equipment such as armored vehicles and heavy artillery is still very small. If Germany can make up for this shortcoming, does it mean that it can completely change the division of power among the Far East countries?  !

    When the two of them were immersed in calculations and thinking about how to report back to the country, Russia, which was close at hand and was most concerned about this war, was even more surprised and crazy. The White-haired General's house was filled with roars all day long: "Quick, send a telegram back to the country, and send it directly to  Your Highness the Queen! This is a good opportunity for us to take back Sakhalin! Nothis is a good opportunity to march into North Korea!"

    It¡¯s chaos, the whole Far East is in chaos!

    The result of the Battle of Motianling was like someone smashing open a pressure cooker that had been boiling for a long time, and hot steam suddenly spurted out. When the British and French embassies told the news to Japan's temporary minister to China Tsuneo Matsudaira, he  He even thought that this was enemy propaganda, and his face gradually became serious until more and more news was confirmed.

    When Japan¡¯s domestic discussion believed that it would only take three months to completely defeat China and annex Manchuria and Mongolia to achieve supreme feats, when the lingering sounds of cheers for war were still lingering in the sky, a loud slap suddenly struck!

    Early the next morning, a photo appeared in every newspaper across the country. The photo showed a section of the flagpole and flag that was somewhat burnt.?, below the photo are rows of eye-catching titles.

    "Great victory in Northeast China!"  ¡·

    "On the day of rampage in Fengtian, the 38th bandit was completely destroyed!"  ¡·

    "Witness that the myth of invincibility has been shattered!"  ¡·

    "Pull down the flag!  ¡·
