When Zhou Cheng sent a telegram to Chen Zhengyu, the commander of the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army stayed beside him.

After reading the telegram, he made a decision on the spot: "Chief Staff Chen, you Captain Zhou are so polite. Even if you don't have the ammunition on the telegram, we will definitely help the National Savior Army!"

"Although it was very adventurous to attack the railway station just now and the troops paid a considerable price in the battle, we seized nearly a battalion of equipment and made tens of thousands of sets of cotton coats and quilts. We made a lot of money just by these spoils!"

"Now, if there is something to do in the National Salvation Army, let our Independent Corps help. As the leader of the Independent Corps, I will definitely sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!"

"In addition to the base areas of the fourth battalion, the first, second and third battalions have more than 1,100 people left. They are all active near us and can participate in the battle at any time!"

Chen Zhengyu knew that the Independent Group would definitely help, but he didn't expect that Captain Li was so happy. Because the leader sent a telegram, he took out his own family's assets.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Thank you, Captain Li for his support, but the commander said in the telegram that you must accept the ammunition."

"In the next battle, no matter what equipment and ammunition we seized or according to the rules in the first half of the night, we will all be in the independent regiment, and we will not take a single bullet from the National Rescue Army!"

"I just thought about it. If I want to attract the attention of the Japanese again and force the Japanese army to Yangquan to dispatch troops, it is not enough to just attack the Zhengtai Railway. I must attack their main force!"

"Fight against the second team of the Honda United!" Captain Li blurted out.

"The first team suffered a loss in our hands just now. We won't be fooled by us anymore. We will definitely not be so easy to fight!"

"The second brigade has just come from the pacification and is not familiar with us. The troops can launch an attack while they are not yet firm in their foothold and severely damage them!"

In terms of the level of commanding wars, neither Chen Zhengyu is the opponent of Captain Li.

Seeing that Captain Li was full of excitement, he quickly asked: "Captain Li, do you already have an idea?"

In the next battle, the protagonists of the battlefield were mostly independent regiments. In order to achieve the greatest results at the minimum cost and complete the task smoothly, Captain Li will definitely not hide it privately.

Facing Chen Zhengyu's eyes, he replied: "The Japanese army had just taken back the artillery tower from us, but the artillery tower had been completely destroyed by us, and he also drove nearly a kilometer of railway."

"The entire Second Battalion still has eight or nine hundred people. It is impossible to live in a pile of ruins that have lost its defensive significance. If we attack other railway stations and artillery towers along the railway now, no, we just need to take a strong attack posture. This Japanese devil will definitely go all out to reinforce the battlefield and destroy us."

"We gather all the main forces to block the second brigade's must-pass road. If we encounter a suitable terrain, we will directly ambush them at any cost and try to severely damage them. This will make the Japanese feel that the strength of our Yangquan Independent Group is far beyond their predictions. If we want to defend the Yangquan section of the Zhengtai Railway, we must continue to increase troops to Yangquan."

"In addition, if the National Rescue Army Defense Zone does not have defensive pressure, Chief Chen, you can also appropriately reveal the true identity of the troops so that the Japanese army knows that the National Rescue Army has come to Yangquan!"

"The national rescue army has limited troops and has troops to cooperate with our independent regiment in Yangquan. There are fewer troops that will break the pacification section of the Zhengtai Railway, so that the Japanese can be more at ease from pacifying the troops and reinforce Yangquan!"

Chen Zhengyu's admiration for Captain Li can be described as provocative.

It was only a few minutes since I received the telegram from the regiment commander, and Commander Li had already thought about the tactics and tactics of dealing with the Japanese. He definitely did not have such ability.

In shock, he quickly replied: "The several garrisons stationed in the Japanese defense zone have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and we have also left two main battalions and a large number of militia troops in the defense zone. If the Japanese really dare to take advantage of the situation and lead a group of new recruits who have not yet formed combat effectiveness to attack us, I promise to cause them to suffer heavy losses. So our true identities can be revealed, and the troops will fight as the National Salvation Army from now on."

The command center of the Yangquan Japanese military brigade, after receiving the death order from the commander to repair the railway at the specified time, Major General Honda was even more sleepy.

My nerves were always tense, fearing that the Yangquan Independent Group would destroy too many railways and would not end it in the end.

It was not until the Second Battalion recovered the artillery tower and defeated the Eighth Route Army on the railway line that Major General Honda's tense nerves sootheed.

The Yangquan section of the Zhengtai Railway has more than two brigades, and the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is no match for the two brigades with ability.

Contact the Chief of Staff as soon as possible and asked him to divide a part of the road repair team to Yangquan to repair the railway that had just been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

After all the matters were arranged, Major General Honda seemed to be an athlete who had just finished a marathon, sitting in a chair with a tired face, not wanting to move for a moment.

He was too tired and seemed to have done nothing, but since the railway was attacked, his nerves were tense all over his body, constantly mobilizing troops to analyze the enemy situation, and issue combat orders...

When the commander called, his nerves were the tightest...

I've been busy until now, and I can finally take a breath.

But this good mood was broken after only half an hour, and the nervous figure of the telephone soldier appeared in front of him again.

"God of General, another artillery tower in the Yangquan section of Zhengtai Railway was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and requested reinforcements..."

The brigade commander did not raise his head and directly ordered: "Let the Second Battalion kill him."

"The Eighth Route Army Yangquan Independent Regiment has limited troop strength. A strengthened battalion's troops are staring at the First Battalion and leaving some troops to defend the bases. The remaining troops must be on the battlefield."

"This time the Second Battalion must surround them, gather and annihilate them, and don't let the Eighth Route Army slip away from their noses!"

After the telephone soldier received the order and left in a hurry, Major General Honda stood up from his chair and walked quickly to the sand table: "The contact between the command headquarters and the Second Battalion cannot be interrupted. If there is any situation, it will be reflected on the sand table as soon as possible."

On the battlefield, half an hour passed in a flash.

But when he arrived at the command center, half an hour actually made Major General Honda feel like he was living like a year.

I kept waiting by the sand table for good news from the second brigade, but no matter how anxious I was, there was no movement in the telecommunications room.

"General, is there any news from the Second Battalion?" The communications officer suddenly ran in to report, attracting the attention of everyone in the war room.

Everyone, including Major General Honda, stared at him with anticipation.

Starting from the first half of the night, the war room received all bad news, and everyone urgently needed good news to ease the tense and depressing atmosphere here.

Major General Honda didn't say nonsense and said bluntly when asked: "Have they successfully reached the battlefield and have they surrounded the Yangquan Independent Regiment that broke the railway."

"This Eighth Route Army is too arrogant and we must find a way to kill them!"

The communications consultant was very embarrassed: "They haven't reached the battlefield yet..."

"As soon as the troops left the garrison, they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army. After bloody battles, the reinforcements have broken through three lines of defense in a row, and there are still the last three kilometers across the battlefield. They should be able to reach the battlefield soon!"

Major General Honda was very disappointed, his hands were clenched into fists due to anger, and he wanted to get angry, but at the last moment he held back.

The battle is not over yet. If the telegram is sent to scold the Second Battalion, it will definitely affect their morale and morale.

Take a deep breath and command in his tone as calm as possible: "Let them speed up the marching, and this time you must not let the Yangquan Independent Group escape again!"

The communications officer came back in less than twenty minutes after leaving this time, with his face obviously heavier than before.

Before Major General Honda could speak, he hurriedly reported: "General, the Second Battalion was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army one kilometer across the battlefield. The troops directly lost more than one infantry squadron, and a large number of soldiers were injured."

"As soon as the remaining troops rushed out of the ambush circle, the Eighth Route Army, which had already captured the artillery tower, took the initiative to evacuate the battlefield, and did not give the Second Battalion a chance to encircle them."

"There is one more thing: the Second Battalion found many figures of the National Salvation Army among the Eighth Route Army participating in the war!"

"They suspected that the National Salvation Army had arrived in Yangquan. The attack artillery that the Eighth Route Army suddenly equipped must have been brought by those National Salvation Army."

Major General Honda's first reaction was to disbelief: "Hasn't the National Salvation Army been pacifying the railway that attacked us? Why did he run to Yangquan? Did the Second Brigade misread it?"

The communications officer shook his head: "General, if there is no factual basis, I believe the Second Battalion will definitely not dare to send such a telegram."

"If the National Salvation Army really enters Yangquan to assist the Eighth Route Army in combat, the problem of why the Yangquan Independent Regiment suddenly has artillery will be solved!"

Major General Honda's face suddenly became gloomy and he cursed at the door.

"Where is our intelligence officer? I immediately called him over. It was such a big deal that the National Salvation Army entered Yangquan, but the intelligence department did not receive any information at all. What did they do for food!

The intelligence officer trotted all the way to the war room.

When he saw the heavy expression on Major General Honda's face, the person in charge felt a thrill, and a bad premonition flashed.

Before I could speak, I heard the brigade commander's swearing voice: "Bageyalu, what is your intelligence system for? After so long, have you not figured out where the attack artillery in the hands of the Eighth Route Army came from?"

"And their firepower can be more than doubled overnight."

Seeing that the intelligence officer was stunned by his question, he didn't say a word of explanation, and he lowered his head as soon as he entered the door, Major General Honda's anger became even stronger.

He threw the telegram that had just been sent by the communication film, pointed at the nose of the intelligence officer and continued to scold: "Are you deaf? I didn't hear my question just now, why don't you speak?"

"Look at the telegram on the ground. So many people in the intelligence department are not as good as the front-line combat troops. They all figured out how the attack artillery equipped by the independent regiment came from. After you checked for so long, there was no news at all. It disappointed me so much!"

The intelligence officer was scolded and speechless because it was indeed his fault. He could only lower his head and bear the anger of the brigade commander.
Chapter completed!
