After listening to the leader's analysis, Chen Zhengyu showed an expression of agreement, but he still couldn't understand what the drug had to do with the telegram in the war zone.

Zhou Cheng didn't ask him to wait too long, frowned and continued to analyze: "So, with the seizure, the medicines in our hands are only enough for more than a thousand minor and serious injured people!"

"Yes, the leader!" Chen Zhengyu replied without hesitation.

The facts are in front of him, and he has nothing to hide.

Zhou Cheng was silent for a moment, but soon stared at Chen Zhengyu and asked an inexplicable question: "How many people do you think will be killed or killed in this anti-sweeping raid?"

This time Chen Zhengyu did not speak immediately.

Although the National Salvation Army has not yet figured out how many troops the Japanese and puppet troops will dispatch to encircle and suppress the National Salvation Army, a rough judgment can be made from the food, weapons and ammunition stored in Jinzhong City: their total force should be no less than 20,000, and there are also a large number of heavy artillery and chariot troops participating in the war.

In the next anti-sweeping campaign, the pressure the National Salvation Army will face will definitely be unprecedented, and casualties and various losses will be unprecedented.

Thinking of this, he already had a rough number in his mind.

But when I said something, I swallowed it back because the result I was going to say was too amazing and it would probably shake the morale and morale of the troops.

After catching the hesitation and embarrassment on Chen Zhengyu's face, Zhou Cheng suddenly answered: "You dare not say to me!"

"In order to win this anti-sweeping campaign, I have made a huge price of more than 6,000 casualties from the beginning. We only have medicines to treat more than 1,000 minor and serious wounded people. If we cannot get enough medicines before the anti-sweeping campaign, there will definitely be a large number of wounded people on the battlefield because they do not have medicine."

"The war zone sent us a telegram saying: As long as we send troops to defend Jinzhong County, they will support us a batch of medicines. I think this deal is very cost-effective."

"As long as the war zone is willing to treat us two thousand minor and serious wounded people, I am willing to gather 4,000 main forces to defend Jinzhong County and swear to live and die together with Jinzhong County!"

"Chief of Staff, please call back the war zone as I meant just now. Our National Salvation Army will do what we said. As long as the medicines given to us in the war zone are in place, I will immediately gather 4,000 main forces to station Jinzhong and defend Jinzhong to the death, and ensure that we will not take a step back!"

"Captain, you are crazy!" Chen Zhengyu shouted in disbelief.

"I exchanged the lives of four thousand soldiers for medicine to treat two thousand minor and serious wounded people. This is completely a waste of time and lost the watermelon and picked up sesame seeds. I don't agree. Even if I don't become the chief of staff, I will stop you from doing this!"

"Our National Salvation Army is good at fighting mobile warfare, and we must not rely on Jinzhong County to fight offensive and defensive wars with the Japanese and puppet troops."

"After the Japanese's mobilization began, their strength, equipment, firepower... must be all on their side."

"If Jinzhong County is surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops, our troops defending the county will be unable to escape. If they are eliminated by Japanese and puppet troops in the city, you must think twice, commander!"

Chen Zhengyu's analysis sounded very reasonable, and the few people around him all showed a expression of agreement after listening.

But Zhou Chengru didn't hear his analysis just now, his expression was calm.

Chen Zhengyu was anxious, afraid that Zhou Cheng would stick to his own opinions, so he immediately winked at He Feng and asked him to help him persuade Zhou Cheng.

He Feng is the battalion commander who has been with Zhou Cheng for the longest time, and he has been staying at the battalion commander's position because of his lack of command experience.

But he has a very high position in the commander's heart. If he helped persuade the commander, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He Feng understood the gods and quickly continued: "Captain, I think the Chief of Staff is right. This telegram is clearly the war zone wants to cheat our National Rescue Army, and use the order to defend Jinzhong to consume the troops of our National Rescue Army. We must not jump into the pit ourselves and fall into the trap."

"Even if we agree to the war zone order, we can only exchange medicines for treating two thousand people, but we have to pay the lives of four thousand soldiers. No matter what the perspective is, it is a loss-making deal!"

"Captain, you never fight a loss-making battle, so we definitely cannot accept the conditions offered by the war zone!"

Seeing that the regiment commander was still unmoved, Chen Zhengyu became more and more anxious as he looked at it. When he was about to speak again, Zhou Cheng suddenly raised his hand and interrupted: "He Feng, you are right, I, Zhou Cheng, really won't fight a loss."

"So we accept the conditions issued by the war zone. The battle to defend Jinzhong County will not lose as much as you think!"

"Impossible!" Chen Zhengyu was the first to stand up and refute.

"The war zone gave us the condition to defend the county town. Without their orders, no one could take the initiative to retreat!"

"After the Japanese and puppet troops began to sweep the Japanese and puppet troops, they would definitely attack Jinzhong first, and our troops defending Jinzhong would definitely be surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops. At that time, Jinzhong County will become a meat grinder that consumes a lot of our troops."

"Not counting the troops that provide cover outside the city, those troops trapped in the city by the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely have no way to survive!"

"I lost four or five thousand people for a Jinzhong county town, and they were all sacrificed. How could I not lose money!"

"The total strength of our National Salvation Army is only more than 10,000 yuan. If Jinzhong loses four or five thousand main forces in one battle, we will not have mobile troops to use for the next anti-sweeping, so we can only defend passively..."

He Feng nodded repeatedly when he heard this and immediately expressed his agreement.

Zhou Cheng smiled unexpectedly, then stared at Chen Zhengyu and asked: "Chief of Staff, who told you that after the troops guarding the city were surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops, they could only defend the city and the entire army was destroyed and wait for death!"

"You won't forget how you entered the county town so quickly, right?"

"typical!"

Chen Zhengyu reacted very quickly and quickly guessed Zhou Cheng's thoughts: "Captain, don't you want to use the tunnel to withdraw our troops guarding Jinzhong County to the death, right?"

After saying that, he frowned and analyzed: "A method is a good solution, but in this way, we disobeyed the orders of the war zone to defend Jinzhong. This is a matter of disobeying military orders. If the war zone uses this matter to punish us and punish us, our national-savior army will not be able to clear the clear way of jumping into the Yellow River, and its prestige will also be greatly damaged!"

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "The war zone order must be defended to the death, but when it is time to retreat, we still have to retreat."

"But the whole thing must be kept secret, so that the Japanese and puppet troops and the war zone feel that the defending troops have survived and died with the Jinzhong County, especially the Japanese. As long as the Japanese feel that they have successfully wiped out all the troops of our National Salvation Army defending the county, even if there is any doubt in the war zone, there is no way for us!"

Seeing Chen Zhengyu frowning and falling into deep thought, Zhou Cheng continued to analyze the feasibility of this matter.

"We defended Jinzhong County to fight offensive and defensive battles with the Japanese. We have both military strength and firepower advantages over the Japanese. It seems that we are at a disadvantage. But as long as we use tactics and tactics well, Jinzhong County will not only not become a meat grinder that consumes our national rescue army, but will instead become a large number of meat grinders that kill and injure the Japanese and puppet troops with vitality!"

"First, it will severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong County, which will make the Japanese and puppet troops feel that they have severely damaged us in Jinzhong County, so they will more or less have some underestimation of the enemy in the subsequent sweep."

"If we can seize one or two fighter jets and send troops withdrawn from Jinzhong County to assault the Japanese, we may be able to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops and win one or two big victories!"

The more Chen Zhengyu thought about it, the more excited he became. At some point, the worried expression on his face had disappeared completely.

Looking at Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up, he replied: "I think this method is feasible!"

"After the troops evacuate from Jinzhong County, we can arrange a large amount of gunpowder at the tunnel entrance, and wait until the Japanese enter the yard where the tunnel is located suddenly detonated, creating the illusion that we and the Japanese die together."

"When the Japanese completely occupy Jinzhong County, they will definitely report to the superiors that they have successfully wiped out all the troops defending Jinzhong County, so as to enhance the morale and morale of the troops, and give an explanation to the superiors!"

Zhou Cheng immediately agreed: "This proposal is very good and can be written into our combat plan to defend Jinzhong County. But we can only blow up three tunnels, and the remaining three tunnels will continue to hide, so that we can use them when we attack Jinzhong County three times in the future!"

Chen Zhengyu nodded immediately to express his support, watching Zhou Cheng continue to propose: "Captain, since we can get so many benefits when we defend the county town, then if we want to play, we can play a big game with the Japanese and puppet troops, and directly increase the strength of defending Jinzhong County to 6,000 people."

"I think the war zone will definitely be willing to see us send more troops to defend Jinzhong, so that we can consume more troops through Jinzhong County!"

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "If we defend Taiyuan City, it would be fine to leave 10,000 troops."

"Jinzhong County is too small and there are too many defensive troops, and a heavy artillery shell from the Japanese cannon can blow down all of us. The casualties of the troops will definitely increase sharply, which is not cost-effective!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhengyu suddenly thought of a question that had not been solved yet and continued to ask: "Captain, then how do you plan to defend Jinzhong County to the end?"

"You said just now that after the mobilization begins, 80% of the Japanese and puppet troops will first besiege Jinzhong County."

"At that time, the advantage of troops, equipment, and firepower are all on the side of the Japanese, and they will also have air support. If I were asked to defend the county town, the defending troops would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and I could not rely on Jinzhong County to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Zhou Cheng was very confident in analyzing: "Working against the Japanese head-on battles with the Japanese, no matter how many troops we have, isn't enough for Japanese planes and heavy artillery to bomb!"

"So if we want to rely on Jinzhong County to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops, we must first let the Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft lose the threat, and we cannot attack us on the battlefield or severely damage us!"

Chen Zhengyu's brows frowned again.

He racked his brains to recall all the tactics and tactics he could think of, hoping to find a tactic that could make the Japanese planes and heavy artillery useless, and finally he really thought of one.

Looking at Zhou Cheng, he asked with thoughtful look on his face: "Street Fight... Commander, you won't let us fight street fights with the Japanese in the city, right?"

Zhou Cheng smiled: "Those who know me are the Chief of Staff!"

"If the Japanese and puppet troops dare to send heavy troops to siege Jinzhong County, street fighting is the only way to severely damage them."

"When fighting street battles, the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, and the initiative in the battle is in our hands. As long as we arrange it properly and have ammunition sufficient, a warrior can kill more than two Japanese devils at will!"

"When we take the initiative to evacuate Jinzhong County, it will be fine to kill four or five thousand Japanese devils!"

Chen Zhengyu's brows suddenly relaxed, and he immediately agreed: "Street fighting can indeed weaken the threats of heavy artillery and aircraft to us."

"Especially after the Japanese and puppet troops strangled us, in order to prevent accidental injuries, their planes and heavy artillery will withdraw from the battle. At that time, both sides will fight for light weapons!"

"This matter is decided!" Zhou Cheng made a decision immediately.

"You will immediately draw a call back to the war zone. We are willing to assemble 4,000 main forces to defend Jinzhong County, but the war zone must support two thousand servings of our medicine."

"I took the guards to the city for two more rounds. Since I decided to fight street battles with the Japanese here, we must build more street battle offensives and arrange the entire Jinzhong County town into a battlefield."

"After Deputy Commander Tang arrived, he not only had to arrange for the transportation team to transfer and seize, but also transferred all the people in the city outside the city!"

"Tell the people in the city that in order to compensate everyone for their losses, we will compensate all the people who cooperated with us to avoid war."

"If any fellow villagers' houses are destroyed by us during the battle, our national rescue army will compensate them at the price!"

Chen Zhengyu objected again: "I don't agree!"

"Captain, do you know how many ordinary people are in Jinzhong County? According to the compensation standard you just did, we would spend 100,000 yuan just to transfer the common people. This is not a compensation for destroying the house, it is too expensive!"

"Then it's a big ocean, no more!" Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment to make a decision.

"This is not our defense zone. People's food, clothing, housing and transportation after they leave the city have to solve the problem. Now the world is so difficult, many people cannot live if they leave the county town. If we don't give them some compensation, it would be like letting them go out of the city and die."

"These oceans are indeed a bit too many, but we don't need to pay for the old money!"

"We attacked the county town for the second time and wiped out seven or eight thousand Japanese and puppet troops, and we should be able to seize a lot of oceans!"

"In the past month when the Japanese run Jinzhong County, not only have many traitors who were evacuated with the Japanese, but also many people have chosen to be traitors. Now that the Japanese have been killed by us, we should also find trouble for them and make them pay the price for their stupid behavior!"

Chen Zhengyu understood the implicit meaning in Zhou Cheng's words as soon as he heard this: "Captain, you hand over this task directly to me and give me a battalion of troops to ensure that those traitors will be able to be even more destined!"

The Second World War Command, looking at the call sent by the National Salvation Army, the Chief of Staff’s first reaction was that he did not believe it.

Fools can also see the purpose of the war zone trying to make the national rescue army cannon fodder.

In order not to send commendation telegrams to the National Saving Army and enhance their influence, the war zone deliberately used the defence of Jinzhong County as a condition to threaten the National Saving Army.

If the National Salvation Army does not agree to defend Jinzhong County, the war zone does not need to send them a commendation telegram;

The National Salvation Army agreed to defend the county town of Jinzhong to the death. They would definitely pay a huge price in Jinzhong. The war zone used a commendation telegram and a small amount of supplies to exchange the lives of thousands of National Salvation Army, and the war zone would not suffer any losses!

For the war zone, I definitely want to choose the second way to save the country.

But the National Salvation Army would definitely not be so stupid. They took thousands of soldiers to take risks in Jinzhong County, so the Chief of Staff felt that the National Salvation Army would definitely choose the first path.

I never expected them to choose the second path.
