The adjutant who came here happened to hear the report of the messenger. He was anxious at that time and asked anxiously in response to the messenger's terrified eyes: "You said that the National Salvation Army lurked two battalions of troops outside the city, so how many troops have they entered the city now?"

"At least one battalion!" The messenger replied immediately!

Seeing that the adjutant did not respond, he immediately told all the things he saw when he came to the command center.

"They had a very powerful combat power at the front company, and they were equipped with five or six submachine guns. The troops drove the way with submachine guns, and they used submachine guns to shoot with suspicious targets. After entering the city, they felt like they were entering a no-man's land. They attacked forward for hundreds of meters in a few minutes without encountering any blockade!"

"Sir, you must transfer immediately! The attack speed of these national-savior troops is very fast, and I guess they will be able to reach the command center in three or four minutes!"

Perhaps in order to prove the messenger's report, as soon as he finished speaking, a sound of submachine gun shooting "da da..." reached everyone's ears.

The adjutant was even more anxious than before: "Oh no, the National Salvation Army that entered the city has reached three or four hundred meters away. The guards immediately distributed half of their troops to block them and bought time for the command to transfer their positions!"

After giving the order, the adjutant stared at Master Sakuragi and asked for instructions: "Sir, in order to block the attack of the National Salvation Army, the troops in the city were all taken away, so the National Salvation Army that entered the city was so easy to kill here, and you must transfer immediately."

"There are the most garrisons in the north of the city. I beg you to move to the north of the city and strive to break out of the county with the cooperation of the garrison in the north of the city!"

At this time, Major Sakuragi had already figured out his current situation, and the heavy expression on his face had been covered in despair. After hearing the adjutant's suggestion, he shook his head without hesitation, and then sighed: "The county town is lost. What's the use of running out alone? Will I be sent to the military court by my superiors?"

"Let everyone in the command be ready for combat, build a line of defense with the war room as the center, and block the National Salvation Army that attacked our country at all costs, without waiting for a step back."

"I will send a farewell telegram to the military headquarters to report what we encountered tonight: the National Salvation Army is no longer the same as before. The ordinary county town will not only not stop their attack, but will also become our grave. When fighting against the National Salvation Army, the Imperial Army will never use the previous fighting style to deal with them."

"After sending the telegram, I will guard the command center with everyone, and die together!"

In the Taiyuan Japanese Army headquarters, since the news of the breakup between the National Rescue Army and the Imperial Army reached here, the commander never showed any smile on his face.

The situation facing the Shanxi garrison is the same as the army commander's mood, getting worse and worse.

In order to prevent the National Rescue Army from making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace behind the Imperial Army and take the opportunity to expand its defense zone and expand its strength, the commander had to dispatch troops along the railway to encircle them.

At this moment, the large-scale raid of the Eighth Route Army against railway lines and major transportation routes was not over.

After the initial panic and passive defense, the Shanxi garrison paid a huge price and finally stabilized the situation and entered a stage of confrontation and stalemate with the Eighth Route Army. No one could do anything to anyone.

At this time, any party's strength changes will break the deadlock, resulting in the victory balance being biased towards the party with the advantage in strength.

The military headquarters dispatched troops along the railway to encircle the national rescue army, and the forces confronted the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield were naturally less, and the balance of victory would naturally be biased towards the Eighth Route Army...

Faced with this crisis, the only way the commander could think of was to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, temporarily stabilize the situation, and then send telegrams four or five days to the Front Command for help, asking them to mobilize troops from surrounding provinces to reinforce Shanxi.

After a few days of hard work, the crisis faced by the Shanxi garrison was finally resolved by the commander. Reinforcements from Henan and Chahar arrived in Shanxi one after another and blocked the Eighth Route Army's offensive at noon.

As long as all subsequent reinforcements sent by the Front Army were in place, the Shanxi garrison would have the strength to counterattack the Eighth Route Army and regain the railway lines and transportation routes they captured.

This was good news, but before the commander had time to be happy, the farewell telegram sent by Heshun County was delivered to him.

For the army commander, the loss of Heshun County not only means that the Shanxi garrison lost more than 3,000 troops, but also means that the National Salvation Army had an additional county territory.

With the speed of the national rescue army pulling troops and fully mastering Heshun County, the troops of two thousand people will definitely be expanded.

In time, the overall combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army will be further improved, which is a situation that the commander would not want to see if he was killed.

The current National Salvation Army is already a hard bone that is difficult for Shanxi garrisons to break. If they have more than a few thousand troops, the difficulty of Shanxi garrisons to break it will be further increased.

In addition, the commander also had a more thorough understanding of the strength of the National Salvation Army.

My previous understanding of the National Salvation Army was all from intelligence, and there must be untrue content.

The overcoming battle in Heshun County could not be faked. With the strength of a garrison brigade, the National Salvation Army conquered more than 1,000 imperial troops and nearly 2,000 imperial troops in one night. If it weren't for the farewell telegram sent by Heshun County, it would have been before his eyes, and the commander would have thought that the two sides of the battlefield would have had a stunning exchange.

In his impression: only the Imperial Army has the strength to conquer a county town with more than 3,000 people defended by two thousand troops.

Unexpectedly, the roles of the two sides were exchanged tonight. The National Salvation Army, which had more than 2,000 people, actually captured Heshun County, which had more than 3,000 troops in just half a night...

This battle shows that the national-salvation army with the same force is no less weak than the imperial army.

Faced with such a strong opponent, the commander was helpless and only hoped that the Eighth Route Army's attack would end soon, so that he could gather heavy troops to deal with the national rescue army and not give them time to continue to grow and grow.

"Sir, in addition to the Heshun County, we have two other county towns that were also attacked by the National Salvation Army!" The Chief of Staff reminded him very worriedly.

"Compared with Heshun County, the two counties have more troops, and the city defense fortifications are also stronger. It is definitely no problem to persist until dawn!"

"But if there are no troops to reinforce them during the day, the two counties will definitely not be able to stand tonight. The military headquarters must make a decision as soon as possible whether they break through after dawn or continue to defend the enemy."

"This time the attack on our National Salvation Army was abnormal, and all kinds of shells were like they didn't have money. When they encountered a slightly harder bone, they would bombard them with guns."

"The farewell telegram from Heshun County said: The Xiyang Garrison, the National Salvation Army, dispatched at least four mountain cannons and eight mortars, and equipped with more heavy weapons than our infantry brigade. It took more than a thousand shells in a few hours of attack, which was simply unimaginable before."

"Although they had artillery in the past, they would stay at critical moments to hit us with a fatal blow. No matter how large the battle is, they would use cannons to come up!"

"Bizhi thinks this is very strange. The National Salvation Army has 80% of the source of shells that we don't know. Otherwise, the shells they have in their hands will be less than one shot. We will definitely not dare to bombard us with artillery so unscrupulously."

"The intelligence department must figure out this matter as soon as possible, otherwise we will suffer a great loss in the future."

"There is another thing we should pay special attention to: after the National Salvation Army used artillery on a large scale, under the same force, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army no longer have any artillery advantage in front of them!"

"In the future, when we encircle and suppress the National Rescue Army, in order not to be suppressed by the National Rescue Army artillery units, the military headquarters must strengthen a certain number of artillery units for the front-line troops."

"If you want to gain an advantage in artillery battle and destroy the artillery troops of the National Salvation Army, it is best to draw heavy artillery troops to participate in the war!"
