Shandong Army Second Division Headquarters.

Long Wenmei glanced at the telegram from Wang Ziqi, sighed, and finally said to his brother: "Retract the defense line and let the troops speed up the construction of fortifications, and send more people to the south to reconnaissance! The caravans on the front line should not be allowed to be released for the time being!"

Long Wenmei is not a blind man. He could not have noticed such a big move by Liu Jingxiao. He went deep into Liu Jingxiao's defense line alone. When he found that Liu Jingxiao had plans to take action, he quickly sent a report to Wang Ziqi, asking the troops to retreat to the appropriate position to maintain contact with the left and right wing troops to avoid being attacked by Liu Jingxiao. At the same time, he also asked the Fifth Division or the Shandong Army First Division to transfer to the south for reinforcements.

The troops heading south this time were all miscellaneous troops among the direct troops. Wang Ziqi's top main force, the Fifth Central Division and the First Division of the Shandong Army, had been staying in Jinan without any movement. However, Wang Ziqi believed that Liu Jingxiao's troops were repeatedly hit, and only agreed that Long Wenmei would retreat slightly, and the main force was still building fortification alerts on the spot.

Long Wenmei explained that he repeatedly asked to retreat, but his battle report was so beautiful that Wang Ziqi always thought that Liu Jingxiao had only some shrimp soldiers and crab generals left, and could be pacified in one battle. In the end, he could only set up the defense line and prepare to fight to the death. He placed the First Brigade on the front line and the Second Brigade behind. Finally, Hong Bin's breastplate cavalry regiment was arranged into a long snake formation. He said again: "Brother, the New Year is here... I'll go to Yanzhou for a good New Year first, so you can check this matter!"

Long Gongwen refused to agree, and he said, "Brother! You are not very righteous either... Isn't it just that I haven't seen Miss Cuihong for a month? Take your brother back together!"

Now there is wine and now I am drunk. Long Wenmei handed over everything to the deputy division commander and chief of staff and expressed full trust in them. He fled back to Yanzhou on December 29 to celebrate the New Year. Naturally, he was as beautiful as jade and drank all the nectar. Although Long Wenmei was trapped in the Qinlou Chuguan, she sent her greatest trust to her comrades on the front line. He thought to himself: "As soon as we fight, it is not our family who was captured or beaten to death..."

But he didn't expect that Liu Jingxiao was placing all the capital, with nearly 160 infantry companies and twenty-five special forces companies. Liu Jingxiao placing all the useful troops. Now the troops guarding his hometown in Lunan are very pitiful, only forty companies, and more than 30% are newly built troops.

Late at night on December 31, Long Wenmei's officers and soldiers were very excited and actively promoted the national sports mahjong. It was just when they were having fun. Suddenly, there seemed to be something moving outside. Everyone calmed down and then turned their heads outside.

At this time, the troops of the 17th Division had launched a full-scale attack. Guo Junqing used a big move and used seventy companies in the first wave of attacks. For a moment, the cannons rumbled, the flames flashed, and the quiet night sky was suddenly seized.

The sentries on the outpost position were about to fire, but there were already dense sounds of gunfire everywhere, as well as the sound of cannons cracking in the landslides. Then there were waves of killing sounds, like waves, and the extremely brave soldiers had already entered the position, and the first contact between the two sides had taken place in the rain of bullets.

Company Commander Sima Hong shouted and led the team into the village in person. Long Wenmei's troops quickly reacted and tried their best to defend. After a rogue of guns, the enemy retreated into a small encirclement. Sima Hong raised his arms and shouted: "Kill!"

Then he grabbed the grenade and smashed it over. Then the soldiers hit it in a burst of grenades, opening a gap in the encirclement, and then the soldiers rushed in. However, the provincial army used a bayonet to squeeze out the troops that rushed in. Seeing that they were about to be blocked, Sima Hong was so angry that he used the grenade to blow the encirclement into a gap.

At this time, Zhong Xiaodao, an intern staff officer who was temporarily assigned to Sima Honglian, was injured in the arm. He said to the two comrades who were supporting him: "You beat you yourself... I'm fine... This injury doesn't matter!" At this time, the vanguard platoon rushed into the encirclement again under the rain of bullets. After a wave of meat battles, the defenders turned around and ran into the room, wanting to continue to resist. At this time, there was another wave of grenades. At this time, someone inside shouted: "Don't fight, we surrender!"

Xiao Rulang also sold his strength. Before the war, he said to Changqing and Duan Haizhou: "We were unable to compare with them during the exercises. That was to let them be on the battlefield. Our brigade could not afford to lose this face! We could not lose to other brigades. Although the division commander is now lying on the hospital bed, he might still hold Dr. Chen’s warm quilt... But he knew in his heart! Our brigade was brought out by me alone from Mobei!"

Yu Changqing and Duan Haizhou gave a military salute, but it was a pity that made Xiao Rulang embarrassed. What was the use of Bai Siwen, an independent company, a real pity! The company of the old Dingbian Army has now expanded into an infantry regiment. Look at Sima Kan, twelve infantry companies have added reconnaissance, artillery, baggage, engineers and a regiment headquarters company. There are sixteen companies, so your Bai Siwen's company is better...

There are 140 people in Mobei, and now it has grown to 70 people. Finally, after thinking about it, I can't feel at ease where I use it. Xiao Rulang could only regard Bai Siwen as his own guard company.

However, Duan Haizhou and Yu Changqing immediately entered the position of the Second Brigade and the defenders were prepared and blocked the troops that rushed in several times. Yu Changqing held the pistol and shouted: "I am the regiment commander... Don't be confused, the First Company will be there for me!"

When fighting at night, the most feared thing is the chaos in the team. Although Yu Changqing usually fights and fights, he still has this common sense. At this time, a man patted his shoulder and shouted: "Captain Yu! I've sent the artillery up!"

Yu Changqing's regiment had no artillery under the regiment, so he was very happy and turned around and thanked: "Thank you, Commander Meng! I'll invite hot pot when I go back!"

Meng Dingguo shouted at this time: "Architecture! Open the position and prepare to shoot!"

The Mengding country transported four twelve-pound mountain howitzers, the most popular artillery of the 17th Division, was placed on a hill next to the village, bombarding various strongholds that were resisting from a high place, and hitting the company in succession and destroying several fortifications. As soon as the cannon stopped, Yu Changqing led his troops in, and the defenders collapsed immediately. Some immediately surrendered, and the other desperately broke back, but were blocked by Yu Changqing's troops. As for the battalion commander's strategy, he immediately found a dress for his eldest daughter to change it, and then bravely reinforced Jinan for battle.

Han Xin's brigade made little progress. Although the troops were relatively large, it was in a confrontation with another strengthening regiment of the 2nd brigade. The two sides rushed back and forth on the front line until dawn, and the battle was not resolved.

As for Chen Ce's Brigade, Liu Jingxiao's most basic unit, Chen Ce found his cadres in advance and spoke loudly: "What unit did our brigade come from the reform? (Calligraphy below: Dingbian Army Cavalry Battalion)... We are the troops brought by the division commander... But look at it now... we want to take back this first name..."

Everyone knew that Liu Jingxiao was particularly fond of Chen Ce's brigade, but he always looked at military merits. In the past six months, Chen Ce's brigade has not won the first place. He was scolded by Liu Jingxiao: "It is better to have some new troops to show off their old qualifications..."

Half of it was scolding, half of it was love, Chen Ce naturally understood what Liu Jingxiao meant, that was to let him show it. The two commanders Lu Da and Hu Bo also knew this. At this time, Chen Ce turned to Wu Canglei and said, "Canglei, I'm sorry for you this time... But don't worry, as long as this battle is fought, I will recommend you to the division commander..."

Lu Da has always rarely spoke, but at this time he spoke too much: "I, the leader of the group, just make up the numbers temporarily. You still need to do it yourself in the future. Jingxiao can trust you!"

Given that Chen Ce's brigade lacked vitality, Liu Jingxiao specially airborne a regiment commander and sent his old friend Lu Da as regiment commander. Wu Canglei had to feel wronged and transferred from the regiment commander to a deputy. At this time, Wu Canglei just smiled faintly and said, "Lu Da will do this position... As long as the troops have a way out, what are my personal gains and losses..."

He had no aggrieved expression on his face, but everyone was a basic cadre from Zhuque. If Liu Jingxiao had meat to eat, they would naturally have soup to drink. When Liu Jingxiao failed, everyone would get nothing.

Since he understood this truth, he naturally devoted himself to the battle. As for the other regiment commander of Chen Ce's brigade, Hu Bo fought his life and tried all kinds of tricks as soon as the battle started. Because he gave Liu Jingxiao a great achievement to give Liu Jingxiao a handsome man the last time, he was also punished with the punishment of "dismissing his post and retaining his post" on his back, even if the position of this regiment commander was just an "agent", so he naturally wanted to perform well.

His opponent was the brigade headquarters of the Second Brigade, an infantry regiment and an artillery company. There were many enemy positions nearby. The battle was very fierce, and there were fierce gunfire everywhere. The explosions of grenades and shouts of killing were echoed in the air. The shining flames and sparks were everywhere. The provincial army used the walls and stone houses to resist desperately, and there was also a set of firepower organizations. Later, the provincial army simply ignited a torch and illuminated the position like daytime.

Hu Bo once personally directed a company to assault in. As soon as he entered, the opponent first had a volley of guns and grenades, and then used a bayonet formation. The troops could not stand their foothold and were forced to retreat, with great casualties.

At this time, several cadres suggested: "Captain, it seems that Lu Da's forward is moving forward very quickly! Should they ask them to transfer some troops to reinforce?"

Hu Bo said firmly: "No! They also need to develop an offensive! This is related to the outcome of the entire battle, and it must be taken down before dawn..."

Yanzhou. Chunhua Tower.

After staying on the front line for a long time, Teacher Long couldn't help but miss the most interesting people here. These girls were also very considerate of Teacher Long and shouted: "Uncle... You haven't been here for a long time. Have you forgotten me... I miss you so much..."

He was so trembling that he couldn't shake anymore, and he was secretly happy: "This sucker is here again..."

Unfortunately, Commander Long did not have the ability to eat aphrodisiacs by pounding. He called six girls. He was defeated in less than ten minutes after he went into battle and fell on the bed and slept like a dead pig. The girls welcomed such guests the most.

When he was sleeping until two or three o'clock, Long Wenmei felt someone shaking her body hard. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw that it was one of her adjutants. She couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Only then did I realize that I was lying alone on the bed. The girl who was attracted by the price didn't know which bed she ran to. She couldn't help but feel energetic and was ready to scold her. At this time, the adjutant's words scared him: "Teacher Commander, it's not good! Liu Jingxiao's troops are coming!"

Long Wenmei immediately said, "Hurry! Has you reached Yanzhou? So fast! Hurry! Help me prepare some cash, get another set of plainclothes, and get another bicycle... I want to break through to Jinan to meet Governor Wang, and ask him to send troops to support him quickly... By the way, the train will be connected, so why not buy a train ticket!"

The adjutant explained: "No... the enemy is attacking our division fiercely, and the troops can't stand it anymore! Division commander, please go back to the front line to command..."

At this time, Long Wenmei suddenly heard the sound of gunfire in her ears, but she asked him to go back to the front line to die, so she refused to do so. He said, "No! I have to call the King of Kings to inform him and ask him to send troops to rescue our army..."

As for the King of Governor? He couldn't receive this telegram because he found a very important problem: the deputy chief didn't know which brothel Wang was in tonight. Finally, he found out that the King of Governor had changed his skills and liked mature women. He was sleeping in a shabby house with a middle-aged woman from somewhere in his bed. As a result, the deputy chief had not spoken yet, and the King of Governor, who was excited, was really the Thunder God of the World, shouting: "I'm sleepy! Let's talk about what happened at dawn! Otherwise, I'll kill you..."

The deputy chief took a walk outside the room of Duke Wang's room all night. When the sun shone, Duke Wang stretched out and found that the front line had already fought. He couldn't help but curse: "I've notified me until now, I've killed you..."

But he thought happily again: "Liu Jingxiao is seeking death... Obviously he is not strong enough... ordering the First Division to prepare to dispatch..."

On this night, Liu Jingxiao was also unaware of her eyes all night. Although Liu Jingxiao's body has recovered a lot during this period, she is still very haggard. Guo Junqing said: "I will take charge of military affairs, and Xianqiu will be responsible for government affairs. You can rest well! I will not inform you if I have to..."

Liu Jingxiao also knew that his body could not withstand the troubles of daily business, but tonight's club attack. When Liu Jingxiao heard the constant sound of gunfire on the front line, she couldn't sleep. Dr. Chen was very concerned about him and kept chatting with him, but Liu Jingxiao put her mind on the front line.

Dr. Chen looked at his absent-minded look and comforted him: "Sleep well... Everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow..."

Her attitude was very gentle. Liu Jingxiao always felt that she had a little bit of Yan Aoshuang's shadow. Suddenly he remembered something very important and said to Dr. Chen very sincerely: "Doctor Chen, there is one thing I have always forgotten to ask you..."

Dr. Chen whispered: "What's the matter?"

Seeing her so gentle, Liu Jingxiao became even more embarrassed: "I'm really embarrassed...just..."

Dr. Chen asked with a smile: "Tell me..."

Liu Jingxiao squeezed her timidly for a long time before she said something.
