About three miles away from the team headquarters, Zhang Junhao led Commander Zhao, Commander Li Baomin of the Security Corps, and officers above the commander of the Special Melee Team, lined up to salute Commander He Shaozhou.

Commander He Shaozhou and his party had dozens of people, all riding on horseback.

Commander He Shaozhou dismounted and returned the greeting.

Commander He Shaozhou looked at Zhang Junhao and laughed and said, "Col. You come to Lishui and win three battles and three victories, which has profoundly changed the situation. General Li Jue, commander-in-chief of the 25th Army, ordered me to come and understand the situation and provide guidance on the work in the future."

Zhang Junhao smiled and said, "The army commander came to Lishui, and Lishui can be safe from worry."

Commander He Shaozhou waved his hand and said, "Find a place to talk."

Zhang Junhao said loudly: "Please talk to our team headquarters."

He Shaozhou got on the horse, and Zhang Junhao got on the horse, and his team walked towards the English School.

He Shaozhou asked curiously: "Where is your guard?"

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "The abbot of Lingshan Temple came to inspect, and I sent a guard to escort him back to the temple."

He Shaozhou nodded and said, "This place is the focus of the Japanese army. Your safety is crucial. You must have a considerable number of teams accompanying you at any time."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Thank you, the commander, for your concern."

In the conference room of the team headquarters, because the conference room was small, He Shaozhou's subordinates did not enter the conference room. They were led by Wang Jinxian to the guard barracks to rest.

Commander He Shaozhou sat in the chairperson seat, and Zhang Junhao sat on his right hand.

Everyone else sat down at the table.

Commander He Shaozhou looked at Zhang Junhao and said, "Our reconnaissance personnel found that the Japanese army had formed two new teams, one was the Nara Detachment and the other was the Harada Mixed Brigade. These two teams were very powerful, each with more than 5,000 troops. After the research of Commander-in-Chief Li Jue, I agreed that these two teams were built for Lishui. We judged that one of these two armies will attack Suichang directly and the other will attack Lishui."

Zhang Junhao took a deep breath and said, "A Xiaojunjiang brigade gave us a headache. Suddenly, two more brigades are coming, so the trouble is so big."

Commander He Shaozhou nodded and said, "The opinion of General General Li Jue and I is that you will defend Lishui and defend Lishui City at all costs. We firmly withstand the Japanese attack on the front line of Songyang in Suichang and consume the Japanese army one after another. In the direction of Jinyun, the 32nd Division of the 9th Army and other divisions of the 9th Army in the direction of Jinyun, will not allow the Japanese army to come. Luo Juntong 21st Division and other divisions of the 9th Army, especially the 33rd Division, attacked the Xiaojunjiang Brigade together. We do not seek to eliminate it, but only hope that we can hold it back and prevent it from concentrating its forces to attack Lishui."

Zhang Junhao sighed and said, "Can the 9th Army temporarily drag the Xiaojunjiang Brigade? Lishui was attacked by the Japanese army on three sides. How could we just a few people defend it?"

Commander He Shaozhou looked at Zhang Junhao and said, "If the Xiaojunjiang Brigade rushed over, there will be no division of the 9th Army that can stop it. You can only rely on your special melee team to find a way to block the Xiaojunjiang Brigade."

Zhang Junhao sighed and said, "Captain He! According to your statement, Lishui can only be up to us to stick to it!"

Commander He Shaozhou nodded vigorously and said, "The purpose of my visit is to explain the situation to you personally. If you defend Lishui, you will defend the strategic fulcrum of the 25th Army. If Lishui is lost, the Japanese army will attack Songyang, Suichang on both sides, and the entire front that the 25th Army will hold will collapse. A large amount of Japanese materials can be transported from sea to Wenzhou and then from Wenzhou to Quzhou front."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "I understand, please don't worry, I just want to find a way to protect Lishui."

He Shaozhou was the commander of the 88th Army and had no right to guide the work of the 9th Army, the commander of the temporary 9th Army, so Commander He Shaozhou only spoke to Zhang Junhao.

In fact, Commander He Shaozhou didn't have to come to Lishui in person, he just had to take a telegram and talk to Zhang Junhao.

Commander He Shaozhou came in person because Commander He Shaozhou attaches great importance to Zhang Junhao and wants to inspire Zhang Junhao's fighting spirit by visiting Zhang Junhao.

After the commander He Shaozhou finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Zhang Junhao sent He Shaozhou and his party.

Before leaving, Commander He Shaozhou said to Zhang Junhao: "Col. I won't say anything else. I just say that if you can keep Lishui, even if I personally owe you favors. I won't say such big talk as life and death in the country and nation. I just say that I'll ask you to help me and hold Lishui for me."

Zhang Junhao stood attentively and said loudly: "Please rest assured, if I, Zhang Junhao, cannot defend Lishui City, I, will come to see you. But you must also do me a favor."

Commander He Shaozhou patted Zhang Junhao on the shoulder and laughed and said, "Brother, why are you busy? If you just say anything, I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Once the Xiaojunjiang Brigade pounced from the direction of Wenzhou, the progress must be informed to me in time. You must know that there are only a few people in my team. It is impossible to block the Japanese army like building a dam. The brigade can easily bypass the brigade. The number of people is small and the control surface is small. You should know this better than anyone else. Only by touching the Japanese army's offensive route and using ambush methods can we defeat the Japanese army's attack."

Chief He Shaozhou Army laughed and said, "No problem, my 88th Army specially sent a reconnaissance team to monitor the movements of the Japanese army and reconnaissance the Japanese army for you. Our military radio station keeps in touch with your radio station. I will inform you in time if there is any situation."

Zhang Junhao was overjoyed, stood attentive, saluted, and said, "As long as there is a precise attack route for the Japanese army, I will guarantee that I can defeat the Japanese army."

Commander He Shaozhou nodded and said, "Please."

Chief He Shaozhou's army laughed and turned over the horse, waved his whip, galloped towards the airport without looking back. It was obvious that Chief He Shaozhou wanted to walk eastward, cross Oujiang and return to Songyang.

Zhang Junhao and others returned to the conference room to continue the meeting.

Zhang Junhao stood and spoke.

Zhang Junhao said: "What Commander He said, you should hear clearly. Lishui can only rely on us to stick to it. Leader Zhao's delegation built two defense lines on the small road. The first defense line was arranged with one battalion, and the main force was placed on the second defense line. The security team arranged two battalions as reserve teams and stayed in Lishui City. Once needed, reinforcements were immediately provided. There was also a battalion to repair the airport and take good care of the wounded. The special melee team responded manually, focusing on dealing with the attack of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade. We must keep in touch with each other and support each other. If Captain Zhao encounters difficulties, he must inform me as soon as possible. I will conduct an assessment. If it is necessary to draw the special melee team to reinforce."

After the meeting, Zhang Junhao invited everyone to drink and celebrate the great results of the ambush of Japanese planes.

Zhang Junhao respected Captain Zhao and said, "Captain Zhao, it is rare to fight in life. If we don't fight this time, we will never have a chance to fight in our lives."

Captain Zhao laughed and said, "Col. Zhang, are you still worried about me? My team has been fighting for the last one, and I will pick up the gun myself."

Zhang Junhao also laughed and said, "Okay! In order to defend Lishui, we fought with the Japanese army."

Captain Zhao also laughed and said, "Yes! In order to protect Lishui, we fought with the Japanese army."

The two clinked their glasses and drank the wine in the glass with great pride.

Late at night, Zhang Junhao sat alone at the table, lit candles, and drank tea.

Because I was happy, I drank more, and I slept for a while, and when I woke up, I felt very thirsty.

Zhang Junhao dipped his fingers into tea and drew pictures on the table, guessing the Japanese army's attack route.

By the sea is the Xiaojun River Brigade, and there are two brigades in Quzhou and Longyou directions about to pounce. One brigade must directly attack Lishui, and the other brigade attacks Suichang. There are heavy troops on the front line of Suichang and Songyang, and even if it cannot stand it, the Japanese army cannot come easily. You can ignore that line for the time being.

In the Longyou direction, the Japanese army would definitely go to Wuyi direction first and pounce on the small path. Because there were at least two divisions of the 9th Army in Jinyun direction, the Japanese army would have to fight with the 9th Army team on the Jinyun Highway. It seemed that they would only walk on the small path. In other words, Commander Zhao would directly face the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army.

Zhang Junhao stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

There was a light knock on the door, and Zhang Junhao stopped and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

"Me!" Li Li's voice.

Zhang Junhao opened the door quickly.

Zhang Junhao asked in a low voice: "It's so late, why haven't you been sleeping yet?"

Li Li smiled and said, "I just washed up and poured water out of the house. I saw that there was light shining here, so I came to see you. Why haven't you slept yet?"

Zhang Junhao looked at the picture drawn with tea on the table and whispered: "There are powerful Japanese troops on all sides of Lishui. I am thinking about the Japanese route of operation in each direction and the defense of the 25th Army."

Li Li smiled and said, "Let's study together."

Zhang Junhao sat down, and Li Li sat down too. Li Li clamped Zhang Junhao's legs with her legs, looked at Zhang Junhao's eyes, and said with a charming smile: "I have been attending combat meetings. After listening to it for a long time, I know how to fight. Do you want to hear me tell you how to fight this war?"
