The Japanese Major looked red with his eyes. His empty left hand had already clenched into a fist because of his anger, and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bageyalu, how could the enemy attacking us have such a powerful artillery? He can actually use artillery fire to suppress us. I have never fought such a frustrated battle for so long!"

The subordinates also looked anxious, and they looked at the angry master who was very anxious, asking: "Sir, we must change our fighting style immediately, otherwise if the enemy continues to explode like this, the troops on the position will not be able to hold on for even half an hour!"

The master scolded angrily: "If I could think of a solution, would I still get angry here?"

"Our artillery almost lost its combat effectiveness. The enemy even had medium-sized mortars. No matter how we attacked or wherever we went, we could not escape their artillery attacks!"

"In the past, when we attacked the Chinese army, we always used artillery fire to suppress them. The situation facing the Chinese army is similar to ours now. The only way to break the situation is to go to the battlefield to fill our lives and fight for consumption with us. If they have enough troops, there is still a chance to win us. If the troops are insufficient, they are definitely not our opponents."

"I didn't expect that today it would be the opposite. The Chinese army used artillery fire to suppress us, and instead we were passively bombed!"

"In the face of artillery fire with absolute advantage, we are also helpless and have no way to defeat the enemy. The only opportunity is to learn from the Chinese army and fight for consumption with the other party. By the way, I pray that they don't bring a lot of shells!"

"Order the troops to defend their positions, and no one can take a step back without my order!"

"Try to disperse the troops as much as possible. The machine gunners should not stay in the same position for more than one minute, and try every means to consume the enemy's shells."

"I will send a telegram to the superiors for help now, asking them to send troops to reinforce us, and at least we must transfer the troops they transferred from the mining area back!"

The Taihang Mountain Division Command has been very busy for several consecutive days. Whether during the day or at night, a large number of correspondents enter and exit the war room and send the latest battle situation on the front line here.

The political commissar and the chief of staff are the two busiest people in the command center. The battle reports sent back from the front line need to be classified and summarized by the hands of the two of them before they can be reported to the division commander as a reference for the division commander to issue combat orders.

"Chief, we just received an encrypted telegram!" The communications officer walked quickly to the political commissar to report.

The political commissar knew who sent it by just a glance at the telegram in his hand. A smile flashed quickly on his face, and then walked aside to translate the telegram, very anxious.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the commander and reported with a smile: "Teacher, the secret telegram was sent by Comrade Zhou Cheng. If he takes action, he needs our help!"

"I want us to act with him again and cheat the benefits from the Japanese?" The commander blurted out after hearing this. Obviously, Zhou Cheng had asked the division headquarters to help a lot of such a thing during this period.

The political commissar shook his head: "We shouldn't need to help with acting anymore in the future. Zhou Cheng has decided to turn against the Japanese. The National Salvation Army is split into three groups to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, and is ready to give them a big gift before the Japanese are ready!"

"Good breaking!" A rare smile appeared on the commander's serious face!

"We are worried about him every day during this period, for fear that Zhou Cheng would not be sure of his position and put the hat of a rebel and a traitor on the National Salvation Army. Or if there is any accident during the operation, it will cause a catastrophe to the National Salvation Army. Don't worry now."

"By the way, I heard you just said that the National Salvation Army has divided into three groups to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, and is preparing to prepare a great breaking gift for the Japanese."

"The two of the troops must have attacked the Japanese and puppet troops around the Zhengtai Railway and the National Rescue Army Defense Zone. They took the opportunity to kill and injure the Japanese and puppet troops with a large number of vitality. When the battle ended, even if the Japanese wanted to kill Zhou Cheng alive, there would be no soldiers available, which would give the National Rescue Army a lot of preparation time. If the war could be dragged until the end of the autumn harvest, the National Rescue Army would have no worries when fighting the Japanese!"

"I can't understand the target of the third-way offensive force."

"With the strength of the National Salvation Army, the first two goals should be easily taken down and we don't need our help at all. So what Zhou Cheng wants us to help must be related to the third goal. Let's talk about it and see where the Japanese guy Zhou Cheng is targeting again!"

The political commissar was also very surprised by the third target chosen by Zhou Cheng, and answered in response to the division commander's expectant gaze: "He plans to attack Jingxing Coal Mine again!"

The division commander understood the real purpose of Zhou Cheng's battle after thinking about it, and then gave a thumbs up to the political commissar: "Awesome, the goal chosen by Zhou Cheng is so amazing!"

"In the eyes of the Japanese, the role of Jingxing Coal Mine is no less than that of railway lines and major transportation routes."

"The railway is destroyed and can be repaired in a month or two at most."

"If the Jingxing coal mine is blown up, it will take at least half a year to resume production."

"If I were a Japanese devil, I would definitely protect Jingxing Coal Mine first."

"There are many places where the railway line has been destroyed, not far from one or two locations. After the Japanese army knew that Jingxing coal mine was attacked, they would definitely send troops from nearby to reinforce the coal mine. The troops along the railway were closest to the coal mine, and they were the first to be the target drawn by the Japanese army!"

"It's hard for us to kill them when the Japanese army guarded the railway line."

"But if the Japanese army transfers them off the railway line and reinforces Jingxing coal mines, we can eliminate them in the movement."

The political commissar immediately nodded: "Teacher, you are also very awesome!"

"What Zhou Cheng asked us to help is to block and eliminate all the Japanese and puppet troops who reinforced coal mines, and to give them a day and night of attack time."

"He said in the telegram that this time, not only will the coal mine be completely destroyed, but also the absent-working puppet troops in the mining area have to take away all the equipment seized, and no screw is left to the Japanese!"

Hearing this, the division commander seemed to have thought something again, looking at the political commissar with thoughtful analysis: "The reason why Zhou Cheng chose to attack Jingxing Coal Mine was not only mobilized by the Japanese and puppet troops on the railway line, but also to create an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and destroy Jingxing Coal Mine, there should be another reason for preparing for the future!"

"Prepare for the future?" The political commissar didn't understand!

The division commander nodded: "To be precise, it should be preparing for the Japanese army's retaliatory sweep."

"In this operation, Zhou Cheng not only played the Japanese devils, but also deceived them a lot of benefits. Everyone would be angry, let alone the Japanese devils who would revenge them."

"When the Japanese know that they have been cheated, they will definitely hate the National Saving Army to the core, and then take revenge on the National Saving Army at all costs."

"The military pressure faced by the National Salvation Army will definitely be very high, and the casualties of the troops in the anti-sweeping will be unprecedented."

"In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops and have the ability to fight continuously with the Japanese and puppet troops, he must prepare a large number of replenishing troops in advance."

"Compared with the newly recruits who are recruited, many of the absentees in the mining area are from prisoners. Not only does it save the training of the new recruits, but it also has a lot of combat experience. You can replenish the troops by taking them back!"

The political commissar understood and suddenly realized it and replied: "It's true that Zhou Cheng took the Jingxing coal mine and brought back absentees and prisoners, which means that the National Salvation Army will have more supplementary soldiers with rich combat experience."

"These supplementary soldiers are secret troops that the Japanese and puppet troops do not know. If the Japanese and puppet troops still retaliate against the national rescue army according to the old rules, they will definitely suffer a great loss in the face of these supplementary soldiers!"
