Chapter 89: Death Flag

After Zhang Kang and Liao Junjie took over the troops, they both seized the time to coordinate.

Because time was flying by, the date for the troops to leave Sichuan Province was drawing ever closer.

The vanguard of the 22nd Group Army had already arrived in Jin Province.

The Xinkou Campaign in Jin Province was critical!

The Japanese troops chose Niangziguan as their breakthrough point.

They launched an attack on Niangziguan in the 2nd War Zone.

The Sichuan Army also received orders to immediately leave Sichuan Province, head north into Jin Province, and support the Niangziguan Battlefield.

"Otherwise, we'll really be going in blind once we leave Sichuan."

"Company Commander Yu, what is going on?"

Yu Hua also sent a batch of Weaponry to the 122nd Division.

The front lines were tight and in urgent need of manpower, so the Sichuan Army would leave Sichuan immediately.

He did not know what exactly Yu Hua was trying to do with this move.

As he spoke, Wang Zhizhong beckoned to Zheng Guifang.

The Sichuan Army had been poor for too long; Zhang Jiayi wanted to reach Yangping Town quickly to get his hands on this equipment.

"Division Commander, Deputy Division Commander, Yu Hua has come to report."

The Reinforced Company's equipment had been swapped back to scrap metal.

Yu Hua was summoned by Wang Zhizhong.

After all, with over three hundred people in a Reinforced Company, changing equipment in Baoji would mean hundreds more rifles.

"Let the Japanese know that we of the Sichuan Army also have the determination to kill the enemy and serve the country."

"The troops will leave Sichuan immediately, enter Jin Province, and support the Niangziguan Battlefield."

Especially when he saw how well-equipped Yu Hua's Reinforced Company was, Zhang Jiayi felt even more anxious.

Throughout the square, the common people beat drums and gongs to see off the troops leaving Sichuan.

The supplies were brought directly to the Sichuan Army units, bypassing the Nanjing Command.

Yu Hua saluted Wang Zhizhong: "Division Commander, our company guarantees to complete the mission."

Outside the city!

The commander of the vanguard Guard Company, Zhang Jiayi, came before Yu Hua.

The headquarters of the 122nd Division.

After enlisting in the Sichuan Army, he would keep at it and not let his family interfere.

The Sichuan Army didn't have good weapons to begin with, so an extra batch of equipment meant a bit more certainty on the battlefield.

In the future, when the Overseas Yu Family donated supplies to the country, they could donate a bit more to the Sichuan Army.

The Overseas Yu Family—Yu Hua had actually encountered them in Sichuan Province.

For a moment, everyone in the square, whether soldiers or commoners, followed along and recited it.

One must know, according to the orders of the Nanjing Command.

Those left behind in the Yu Family in Sichuan Province also relayed Yu Hua's words to Ma Jiuying.

After Yu Hua took over, he carried out an equipment upgrade for them.

One could see that in the center of the Death Flag, a large character for "Death" was written in powerful, sweeping strokes.

Now that Yu Hua had enlisted in the Sichuan Army, he also had people take a message to Ma Jiuying.

Zhang Jiayi was a bit confused?

"My Reinforced Company, of course, also needs to change its equipment!"

"As our division is the vanguard, we are now leaving Sichuan, and we are preparing to have your Reinforced Company and the division's Guard Company..."

"Degui, look, look... the one above is my wife."

In order to find Yu Hua, the Yu Family had kept a group of people in Sichuan Province.

Here, there were not only many munitions but also cotton quilts, cotton trousers, and cotton-padded clothes.

Yu Hua led his unit out of Sichuan.

The massive sound, like a thunderclap, soared straight into the clouds!!

After the oath-taking ceremony, the 22nd Group Army began to leave Sichuan.

The look in Wang Zhizhong's eyes as he watched Yu Hua became increasingly favorable.

"I wished to serve, but I was past the age. Fortunately, I have a son, who volunteered of his own accord."

The Sichuan Army leaving the province had to change into the Central Army equipment of Principal Chiang in Baoji.

If they went late, the equipment would be gone, and that would be a loss.

The Reinforced Company directly under the 122nd Division headquarters.

Wang Zhizhong looked at the soldiers below the stage, "The flag is here, and everyone has seen it."

At this moment!

As Zhang Jiayi spoke with Yu Hua, he suddenly realized.

The next day!

In the square of Jincheng, the 122nd Division held its oath-taking ceremony!

"She said her man is leaving Sichuan today to fight the Japanese."

Zhang Jiayi thought Yu Hua was preparing to exchange for an extra batch of equipment in Baoji.

After finishing contact with the Yu Family!

Seeing Jin Jizhong's regiment, Wang Zhangsheng shouted to Yang Degui beside him.

Chen Qian and Wang Zhizhong stood before the map hanging on the wall, and the two of them were currently examining the map.

Some students also wrote propaganda slogans to promote them to the common people.

"Brother Yu, I understand, I understand..."

"Company Commander Yu... what are you doing..."

Zheng Guifang went up to the stage, took off her own backpack, and took out the Death Flag from inside.

"Bestowed a flag, keep it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, wrap the body after death. Go forward bravely, do not forget your duty!"

The soldiers of the 122nd Division followed Wang Zhizhong in reciting these few sentences.

"Now, all of you follow me and recite it together."

"Now we are going to leave Chuan, fight the Japanese devils, and protect our home and country."

The soldiers all used MP40 Submachine Guns, and the Sniper Platoon still used 98K Rifles.

Hearing this, Yu Hua grinned: "Company Commander Zhang!"

"Her father deliberately presented a Death Flag."

Yu Hua led the Reinforced Company and Guard Company of the 122nd Division and set off in advance.

There were also some common people who gave the Sichuan Army some food and drink.

After a Rapid March, the four hundred-plus people arrived at the important town of Yangping in Baoji.

Off the stage!

The flag had black characters on a white background, and several lines of small characters were written on both the left and right sides of the word "Death".

"Why did you make the troops stop?"

Zhang Jiayi was very anxious; Baoji had several armories belonging to the Nanjing Command.

"The country is currently in trouble, and we in the Sichuan Army previously fought among ourselves within the province, which is a disservice to the country and the nation."

Hearing this, the two turned around, and Wang Zhizhong looked at Yu Hua.

When Yu Hua returned to Sichuan Province, this group of people sought him out.

"Didn't the order given to us by the Nanjing Command say to go to Baoji to exchange equipment?"

Because!

"Good lad, you really guessed right."

Wang Zhizhong stepped forward, "Fortunately, you lad had our Army Group dispatch scouts."

The remnants of the Sichuan Army that Yu Hua had brought earlier also merged with the Reinforced Company.

In an instant, Zhang Jiayi had an expression of "I understand you."

Wang Zhizhong had his guards unfold the Death Flag.

There was a small armory in Yangping Town.

"Division Commander!" Yu Hua looked at Wang Zhizhong, "Did you call me here to give any instructions?"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhizhong's gaze turned toward Jin Jizhong's Regiment.

Wang Zhizhong stood on the podium, looking at the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers below.

"Tomorrow, our 122nd Division, as the vanguard of the Army Group, will hold a pledge ceremony to leave Chuan."

"It's like this!" Chen Qian stood out and said: "Yu Hua, you lad fought well on the Songhu Battlefield."

"At our pledge ceremony today, there was a woman who specifically sought me out."

They had not yet discovered that Yu Hua had already entered the Division Headquarters.

After the equipment of the Reinforced Company was upgraded, Wang Zhizhong was also very happy.

The common people of Jincheng also came to the square to see off the 122nd Division leaving Chuan.

"The country is in crisis, and the Japanese invaders are ferocious. The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen."

Huang Shaohong, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the 2nd War Zone, also sent a telegram to Deng Xihou.

As for the source of the equipment, Yu Hua consistently claimed it was donated by the Overseas Yu Family.

Wang Zhangsheng was very happy and said it several times in a row.

"As the vanguard of our division, conduct a reconnaissance for our division in advance."

"Our troops have received a telegram from the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the 2nd War Zone."

"I do not wish for you to show filial piety by my side; I only wish for you to show loyalty to the nation."

Czech Light Machine Guns and Zhongzheng Rifles, as well as 82mm Mortars, and so on!

For the officers of the various units of the Sichuan Army, this was simply a godsend.
