Colonel Okamoto agreed with the Chief of Staff’s analysis: “I have some research on the Unique Regiment. You are very correct. Now is indeed the best time for us to counterattack them. Otherwise, when they all evacuate along the railway and return to the base, we will not be able to find the target even if we want to counterattack!”

The Chief of Staff immediately showed a look of eagerness to try, thinking that the captain of the regiment would definitely issue a counterattack order immediately.

But it was indeed the long sigh of the regiment captain when he was waiting.

Then he saw him answering helplessly: "I want to lead troops out of the position immediately now, but the military headquarters issued an order to prevent attacking and defend the railway to the death. If we disobey the military order and attack without authorization, even if we win, there will be no good results in the end. Maybe we will be punished by the military headquarters!"

After hearing this, the Chief of Staff became anxious: "Then let's watch the fighter plane slip away from us?"

Colonel Okamoto was very unwilling to give up and thought of an order: "Of course not. I will send a telegram to the military headquarters now and request a counterattack!"

"Report..." Before Colonel Okamoto moved, the voice of the communications officer rang at the door.

"Come in!" Okamoto was considering how to send a telegram to the military headquarters while ordering.

The communications officer walked up to him with a bumpy face. Seeing the captain's expression calm, he had no intention of getting angry, and seemed to be in a good mood. Then he reported: "Sir, the Third Battalion is urgently telegrammed. Just now, two Eighth Route Army attacked them at the same time. The other party sent two companies in total, leaving with one blow. The Third Battalion was caught off guard, and six more Imperial Army and four Imperial Army soldiers died in battle!"

"Nani?" Colonel Okamoto thought he had heard it wrong and shouted with disbelief.

After receiving the telegram, he looked quickly. He couldn't help but shouted halfway through the sight: "Bageya Road, the Unique Regiment must be crazy! The main force has been transferred, and a group of new recruits dare to attack us. Are they not afraid of us suddenly counterattacking us and killing them a fallen water?"

The Chief of Staff immediately replied: "Captain of the United Nations, I think the Eighth Route Army is provoking us!"

"They knew we would not take the initiative, so they attacked us again and again!"

"We must ask the military headquarters for war immediately. If the Eighth Route Army comes to attack us again, we will definitely kill our positions and eliminate them all, and catch them off guard. Otherwise, these Eighth Route Army will definitely ride on our heads!"

Colonel Okamoto agreed and cursed with anger: "They are really too arrogant and do not consider our feelings at all!"

"I will send a telegram to the military headquarters now, and I will definitely tell the military headquarters to agree to our troops to counterattack the Eighth Route Army!"

The commander of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan was in a very bad mood.

He did underestimate the Eighth Route Army's determination to launch this large-scale raid.

I originally thought that the Eighth Route Army would retreat and end the battle as usual.

Unexpectedly, after the raid war began, it has been several days since today, and there is still no intention to stop. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more troops are participating, making Shanxi garrison unable to defend, and the limited troops have to run around to plug loopholes everywhere.

The Eighth Route Army that had just attacked here was repelled, and before they could even repair the railway that had been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the railway line there was attacked again...

After a few days, he thought the most question in his mind was where to draw troops to reinforce the front line...

Just as he became more and more irritable, the intelligence department sent good news in time, which made the commander's nerves that had been tense for several days finally relieved, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

The National Salvation Army, who received the first batch of compensation, sent troops to the National Salvation Army as agreed, indicating that the National Salvation Army will not be faked for surrendering to it, at least they are still on their side now.

Whether they sincerely or for the sake of the military headquarters' reimbursement, they will not fight against the Imperial Army in a short period of time.

In this case, the troops stationed by the Imperial Army on the side of the National Salvation Army’s defense zone are a bit redundant!

The commander decisively drew out two infantry brigades to reinforce other battlefields.

Other troops continued to be stationed next to the National Rescue Army defense zone, just in case, after all, the National Rescue Army there has not been really reorganized into the Imperial Army. If they suddenly repent and return to the defense zone, the Imperial Army did not even have a single force to deal with it.

Maybe today I am really working. Less than three hours after the order to dispatch troops was issued, another good news came to the command center: "Sir, the Unique Regiment has received news that the National Salvation Army is about to invade their base."

"In order to defend the base, the commander of the Unique Regiment personally led three main battalions and one artillery battalion back to the base. The troops have set out, and the combat pressure of the Okamoto corps has been reduced sharply!"

"That's great!" The army commander almost jumped up from the ground with excitement.

"It seems that our decision to recruit the National Rescue Army at all costs is correct. The troops have not been officially reorganized yet. He has really become our breakthrough for breaking the deadlock!"

"Not only did we add two thousand new forces, but we also mobilized the one regiment and forced them to send half of their main forces back to the base area as soon as they made a move!"

"As long as you confirm that the main force of the only regiment has really returned to the base and then fight with the National Rescue Army and be dragged by the National Rescue Army to their own base, the Okamoto Regiment can also draw two infantry brigades to reinforce other battlefields."

"You immediately sent someone to keep an eye on the only regiment of the rescue troops to make sure they will be dragged by the National Rescue Army in the base area, prevent them from replacing pillars and set traps for us!"

As soon as the intelligence officer left, the communications officer ran in: "Sir, Okamoto United's emergency telegram!"

The Chief of Staff received the telegram and only glanced at it, a smile flashed from the corner of his mouth: "Sir, Colonel Okamoto is thinking about it with us!"

"After knowing that the main force of the Unique Regiment returned to the aid base, he wanted the military headquarters to agree to their counterattack plan: take advantage of the insufficient troops of the Unique Regiment's left-behind railway line and catch them off guard. If he could take the opportunity to severely damage the remaining troops of the Unique Regiment, the Okamoto Regiment could also draw a large number of troops to reinforce other battlefields!"

The commander nodded with relief: "This idea is good, but the Okamoto United can't attack yet!"

"The base area where the main force of the only regiment returned to the aid is not very far away from the railway line. If the Okamoto United attacks now, those returning troops can return to the railway in just a few hours. It would be bad if the troops sent by the Okamoto United were blocked outside!"

"You can call Colonel Okamoto now. The military headquarters agrees that they will take the initiative, but they have to wait a little longer. It is confirmed that the main force of the only regiment will fight with the national rescue army. The two sides have fought together, and it is impossible to return to the aid railway line and then attack again!"

Gangtou Village is a small village in the only base area next to the Japanese and puppet army occupied.

After learning that the National Salvation Army was about to invade the base, the people in the village were moved away.

A company's local troops began to build defense lines based on the village.

When the regiment commander brought the aid troops back to the place, the local troops had already dug a ring of fortifications around the village.

Before he could take a breath, the guard company commander ran towards him, looking hurried.

"Captain, someone is looking for you at the entrance of the village. He claims to be your old friend. He also asked me to tell you that there is a big business to negotiate and then I will see him!"

The leader laughed after hearing this, and the tired expression on his face disappeared at this moment. He was very happy to answer: "I am indeed an old friend!"

"Take him in immediately, remember to keep it confidential!"

"The guards of the command center should also be doubled, and no one is allowed to approach within twenty meters of the surrounding area!"

An hour later, the leader personally sent his old friend to the entrance of the village, and then the main force of the only group stationed in the village began to get busy.

Some people dig trenches, some people build bunkers, and some people dig holes through walls and tunnels in the village... They are posing as if they want to build the village into a fortress!

At the same time, Zhou Cheng led his troops to march 20 kilometers away.

When there were less than three kilometers left of Gangtou Village, he decisively ordered the troops to stop and camp.

The Japanese Major who followed Zhou Cheng quit and hesitated to remind him: "Captain Zhou, why don't you leave? The soldiers are so fast. There is a single base in front of us. If we kill us now, we will definitely be able to drive straight into the single base and catch them off guard!"

The Japanese promised compensation has not been obtained yet, and Zhou Cheng couldn't go too far with these financial owners and hesitated for an explanation: "I just got news from the vanguard troops that the main force of the only regiment has entered Gangtou Village, with almost three battalions of troops. We can't kill them now and not only can't catch them off guard, but they will also be hit head-on by them, and they will suffer heavy casualties!"

"The troops stopped here to rest for a few hours, and then killed them after dawn. We rely on our firepower advantages to compete with them in the battle against Gangtou Village!"

"And I heard that the Eighth Route Army is particularly good at fighting guerrilla warfare and night warfare. We are like throwing ourselves into the trap, hitting their minds and using our own weaknesses to attack their strengths!"

“It’s different after dawn!”

"Although the Eighth Route Army is very powerful, their artillery troops are not as good as us!"

"We can use artillery shells to fight, and we will definitely achieve the greatest results with the minimum cost!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Cheng led his troops to appear less than one kilometer away from the village Gangtou Village.

The Eighth Route Army in the village seemed to be ready for battle, and there was no movement from outside.

Zhou Cheng waved his hand, and more than a hundred soldiers rushed out of the team with guns, and Cheng ran towards the village with their sparrows!

"Da da da da...Da da dong dong..." The dull light and heavy machine gun strafing sounded quickly in the village.

The vanguard troops quickly rushed to the ground, life and death were unknown, but the gunshots in the village scared Zhou Cheng and the Japanese Major because the counterattack firepower in the village was too strong.

The tentative troops retreated five minutes later, led the company commander to Zhou Cheng's location and reported loudly: "Captain, there are at least one battalion of Eighth Route Army stationed in the village. When we attacked just now, they only warned us to shoot, so none of the tentative troops were injured!"

"If we continue to attack, the bullets they fired will definitely hit us!"
