Zhou Heng didn't think too much about women. It was mainly because it wasn't the right time. He had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to talk about love.
However, his subordinates didn't seem to think so. When they heard that their regiment commander had helped a pretty widow bury her father-in-law and that she wanted to repay him, all of them immediately became gossipy and ran to see what that woman looked like.
According to Meng Fan's description, the woman was very beautiful, but she looked very powerful. She even had a child. Their leader had never married, so he might not be able to control that woman.
Everyone needed something to cheer them up on the boring journey. Zhou Heng was too lazy to explain, so he let them talk so that they wouldn't be too nervous.
However, what he couldn't understand was that Shangguan Jieci seemed to be really attached to him. She would send him porridge every day, the kind of porridge cooked by the rice balls they gave out. She couldn't enter the regiment headquarters, so she asked the jinx to send it over. So many people knew about it, and it made it seem as if there was really a relationship between them.
However, this matter would at most cause Zhou Heng some distress. It wasn't a big deal. Right now, his energy was focused on the two Japanese army regiments chasing after them.
Even though the air force had bombarded them multiple times, they still managed to catch up to them. In the end, they were not fast enough with the refugees. The third battalion at the rear had already started to come into contact with the Japanese scouts.
Fortunately, they had already entered the border of Yunnan and the Nu River was right in front of them. Even if something happened, they could run across the Nu River in a fit of anger, but this was not what Zhou Heng wanted.
He wanted to leave a nail on the south bank of the Nu River, and at the same time, fight a good battle with the Japanese. This battle was not only to defeat the two Japanese teams behind him, but also to show the people on Chan Da's side.
He wanted to show the defeated soldiers of the expeditionary army their fighting strength, the people of Chanda to see their ability to fight against the Japanese, and even more importantly, to let those big shots know his strength.
"The Japanese will probably catch up to us tomorrow, so we will have a life-and-death battle with them at the Nu River. I have chosen the Southern Heavenly Gate as the location of the battle. This is the Huitong Bridge. I have already ordered the engineering company and the troops stationed at Chanda to build fortifications at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
At that time, we will have 24 105mm American M2A1 howitzers, 8 M4 tanks, and about 20 fighter jets and bomber support. I wonder if you have the confidence to defeat the two Japanese teams behind us?”
When it came to firepower support, Zhou Heng was very proud. His heavy firepower was something that even the current US Army did not have. This also gave him the confidence to defeat two regiments with one regiment.
Hearing that there would be so many heavy firepower reinforcements, Long Wenzhang's eyes lit up. He was now the commander of the 4th Battalion. Zhou Heng selected those who still had the will to fight from the scattered soldiers of the expeditionary army to form the 4th Battalion to increase their strength.
"Oh my god, is our regiment commander the illegitimate son of the president of the M Nation? A regiment actually has such heavy firepower and plane support. If I had this ability, I would have chased the Japanese away long ago.”
"You look so ignorant. Our regiment commander said that we will expand into a division in the future. By then, we will not lack 155mm howitzers and heavy bomber. It was the kind of plane that could carry seven to eight tons of bombs.”The Lost Dragon said proudly.
"Sigh, sigh, I asked you to come to the meeting to talk about how to fight, not to brag. Tell me, what do you think?”Zhou Heng said seriously.
"Then what else do we need? Since our firepower is so strong, then let's fight the Japanese openly and let them have a taste of being bombarded. At the same time, let everyone see the ability of our 3rd Regiment.”Meng Fan said bluntly.
His words were also approved by everyone. They had never had such an experience before. In the past, the Japanese would chase after a division or even an army of the People's Party. The Japanese had strong firepower and brave soldiers. Now, they wanted to let the Japanese have a taste of this feeling.
Zhou Heng asked the newly recruited expeditionary officers. They said the same thing. The 3rd Regiment was well-trained and had strong firepower. They could fight the Japanese head-on and show them how powerful they were.
Since everyone said so, Zhou Heng would not object." Since that's the case, then let's do it. Now, let the wounded and refugees speed up and cross the river. The soldiers of the expedition army will be the reserve team and wait behind the Southern Heavenly Gate."
Once we arrive at the Southern Heavenly Gate tomorrow, we will order the mortars to fire at the rear. Make a big scene and take good pictures. I will send these to Yucheng and publish them in the newspapers. Let the people of the country see your heroic bearing. Don't disappoint me tomorrow.”
This time, everyone's eyes lit up even more. The opportunity to make a name for themselves had arrived!
