Chapter 598 The National Salvation Army's Hospitality
When everyone didn't know that the Japanese Shanxi garrison had changed their strategies and methods against the National Salvation Army, the Chief of Staff at the Battle of the Theater Command was already full of joy.
The National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment fought again, and the firefighting this time was particularly large. Mortars and heavy machine guns were used, and supplies were stolen from each other...
In this case, the fool also knew that the relationship between the National Salvation Army and the Independent Corps had reached an irreconcilable point. The two troops not only turned against each other completely, but also became enemies.
The commander-in-chief smiled as soon as he saw the information sent to the front line and was very happy to order: "Immediately send the second batch of medicines that we promised to the National Rescue Army to pass by, faster, so that the National Rescue Army can continue to work hard and continue to seize the bases of the two independent regiments."
"For the war zone, the more stale the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, the better the war zone controls them and the easier it is to command them, so we must not give them any chance to join the delegation!"
On the edge of the Yangquan Independent Regiment base, the Independent Regiment and the National Salvation Army were confronting each other across the position. Although neither side fired, the depressing atmosphere on the battlefield still made everyone feel that the two sides were at strife.
The first battalion commander He Feng, the captain of Xiyang garrison team Dong Fei, and the special battalion commander Shen Liwen... They asked for battle with them more than once, wanting to lead their troops into the base of the Independent Regiment.
Of course, their real purpose is not to fight the decisive battle with the independent group.
Although they didn't know why the relationship between the National Salvation Army and the Independent Corps suddenly deteriorated, and the speed was very fast, they suddenly turned against each other. The regiment commander even made the decision to shell the Independent Corps and grab supplies from the Independent Corps, they still vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as they imagined.
Because the battle between the two sides has been unusual from the beginning, especially the battles these two days.
The National Salvation Army seemed to be fighting very hard, and both heavy machine guns and mortars were used. Both sides fought fiercely on the battlefield.
But the independent regiment against the confrontation seemed to know in advance that every attack of the National Salvation Army was not only hit by the artillery shells that were shot in the deserted place, but also the infantry could retreat in advance every time they launched an attack to avoid the two troops facing each other.
After two days, the National Salvation Army did not kill an independent soldier, and the National Salvation Army itself suffered zero casualties.
Ordinary soldiers would feel that the Independent Regiment was collapsed by the fierce artillery fire of the National Salvation Army and would not think too much about it...
As battalion commanders, the three of them considered more comprehensive than ordinary soldiers. They always felt that something was wrong here?
When they met after the war, they suddenly found that the three people had this idea. They decided to find the leader of the regiment and hoped that the leader could solve their doubts.
But the regiment commander did not satisfy their wishes, but just let them hold their troops and execute their orders.
The three battalion commanders are not that easy to fool. The more the regiment commander doesn't explain it to them, the more they feel there is something wrong with it.
If it doesn't work, they began to figure out what secrets were hidden between the leader and the independent group from other ways.
So the three of them turned on the bombing mode and agreed. Every half an hour later, one person found the command center and asked for battle to find out the secret hidden behind the operation.
"Captain, we have been waiting here for more than ten hours. The soldiers have eaten and slept well. They are very morale. Can we continue to attack forward?" He Feng, the captain of the Xiyang Guard Team, shouted loudly as soon as he walked into the command center.
Zhou Cheng gave him a blank look, and knew very well that the little thoughts of several subordinates were also eager to tray out the real situation.
But the time is not yet ripe. Before the National Salvation Army received the medicine, any accident could lead to the termination of the war zone, so Zhou Cheng could only endure it and not tell them the real reason why he suddenly turned against the Independent Group.
Just as he was about to scold Dong Fei back, Deng Jinghua ran towards him in a hurry.
I knew that he had brought good news when I looked at the smile on my face. I didn’t care about Dong Fei, staring at Deng Jinghua and asked: “Is it a telegram sent by the deputy commander that we have received the second batch of medicines supported by the war zone?”
Deng Jinghua nodded quickly: "The quality and quantity of medicines for a total of 1,000 servings are completely fine. Our people are transporting them back to the defense zone through secret channels and will arrive before dawn tomorrow."
"It's great. With these two thousand servings of medicine, we are not afraid of the remaining 500 servings of medicine even if the war zone regrets it."
"Immediately send a telegram to Deputy Leader Tang. As soon as the medicine arrives, half of it will be sent to the front line immediately. The faster the better."
After watching Deng Jinghua leave, Zhou Chengcai turned his attention to Dong Fei: "Don't you want to know if we really become enemies with the Independent Group? Now we can tell you!"
"You call He Feng and Shen Liwen first, and then tell you in detail..."
After shutting down all the guards of the command center, Zhou Cheng spent ten minutes talking about how the National Rescue Army acted with the Independent Corps and got a lot of medicine from the war zone.
Dong Fei showed a sudden enlightenment as soon as he heard this: "I said there was a problem with attacking Yangquan County at that time. The Independent Regiment seemed to know our plan in advance. Wherever we attacked, the troops would retreat in advance, and would not give us a chance to fight head-on..."
"It turns out that all this was a scene we performed with the independent group..."
He Feng showed a surprise expression of surviving the disaster, and the concerns and worry on his face disappeared completely at this moment. He looked at Zhou Cheng and replied happily: "It's better to be revenge without rebellion!"
"Captain, you don't know. When I received the order to attack the independent regiment, I was shocked and hesitated whether to execute the order!"
"Now I can finally feel relieved. It turns out that we have not turned against the independent group."
Seeing that they were so excited that they were about to jump from the ground, Zhou Cheng quickly reminded: "I have told you the secret, but you cannot reveal it to anyone without my permission."
"When you leave this command center, you must ruin this secret in your heart. No one can reveal it, including your deputy battalion commander."
"We spent such a price on acting with the Independent Group. In addition to being jealous of the medicines that the War Zone promised to support us, it also allowed the Japanese army and the War Zone to relax their vigilance against us."
"In the previous anti-sweeping campaign, the Independent Regiment secretly supported us and cooperated with us more than once. Although the actions were very hidden, the Japanese and puppet troops and the war zone still found some clues. Once we really united with the Independent Regiment and established an offensive and defensive alliance, not only will the Japanese and puppet troops be more and more concerned about us, but will draw more troops to deal with us in the future, so that we will never have peace. The War Zone will also try every means to deal with us and destroy our alliance."
"Since they don't want to see us and the independent group alliance so much, we are as they wish, not only will we stop alliance, but we will also turn against each other and become opponents."
"With this move, the war zone's concerns about us are not that heavy. The Japanese will also feel that they have the opportunity to defeat us in one by one, and then slow down their attacks on us. Then our national rescue army and the people in the defense zone have a chance to breathe, so we can seize the time to have a good rest!"
"Report..." When Zhou Cheng was about to continue speaking, the guard company commander Liang Hongjiang suddenly appeared at the command office.
"Come in!" Zhou Cheng decisively spoke with his three subordinates, looking at the door orders.
Liang Hongjiang hurried in and reported: "Captain, a businessman came from behind the position and said that there was a way to easily regain the weapons, ammunition and food that the Independent Regiment snatched from Yangquan County, especially the medicines and oceans stored in the city by the Japanese and puppet troops, but they had to see you before speaking... We checked and he did not carry any weapons!"
"Businessman?" Zhou Cheng frowned and asked back.
Liang Hongjiang nodded: "From the clothes, he really looks like a businessman, and he introduces himself to himself and says that he is a businessman. I don't know if he has any other identities."
"No matter what we ask, he said he would only speak when he saw you!"
Zhou Cheng's frowning brows quickly stretched out, and he made a thoughtful judgment: "The businessman should be just the superficial identity of this person. If I guess correctly, he either comes from the Second World War Zone or comes from the Japanese!"
Seeing the three battalion commanders showing a puzzled expression, Zhou Cheng immediately explained: "The Independent Regiment seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food from Yangquan County. This matter has not been announced yet. Ordinary people must not know it, so this merchant must have an army background."
"He mentioned medicine and ocean in his words that Liang Hongjiang had just brought. We all know that this is fake news made up by the Japanese, and even fewer people know about it. Except for the war zone, the Japanese, us, the Eighth Route Army, no fourth-party force knows about this."
"The Eighth Route Army will definitely not send people to help us attack their own troops, so there will be only war zones and Japanese."
"They wished that we would fight to the death with the Independent Regiment on the battlefield. When they saw our National Salvation Army stopping by the Independent Regiment Base and not moving forward, they must be afraid that we would not fight anymore, so they retreated and sent people to help us, tempted us to enter the Independent Regiment Base and continue to fight with them!"
Dong Fei was most angry and started to curse after hearing this.
"Captain, there is no good thing for these people. I'll go out and kill him now!"
Zhou Cheng did not respond, his brows frowned again, staring at the map and fell into deep thought.
No matter who sent the people outside, the purpose is only one, and find a way to continue to fight the Independent Corps and the National Salvation Army.
Zhou Cheng was thinking about whether he could use this matter to gain some more benefits.
If you want to take the opportunity to cause trouble, the prerequisite is to understand the other party’s identity and then you can prescribe the right medicine.
Seeing that Dong Fei was eager to try, he just waited for him to nod and then rushed out, Zhou Cheng decisively pulled him back: "What's the hurry? No matter what the other party's identity is, he has arrived at our doorstep. He must meet him when he meets him, otherwise others will say that our national rescue army has no way to treat guests."
"Company Commander Liang, you send someone to bring him here immediately. I want to ask questions myself!"
When Liang Hongjiang left, Zhou Cheng stared at the three battalion commanders and explained: "I don't care about the other party's true identity for a while? What's the purpose of coming here? You can only listen and not speak unless you get my permission!"
"If you can't do it, you can go out now!"
After hearing the leader's words, the three of them could only suppress their restless hearts and force themselves to calm down...
