The reconnaissance team's melee assault ability was too strong. Before the Japanese commander could even warn the reinforcements and superiors, the telecommunications room was occupied by a string of gunfires of "da da da...", and he himself fell to the ground in the explosion.

In the division command center more than 100 kilometers away, everyone was waiting behind the radio to wait for news. Some were nervous, some were excited, and some were looking forward to it...

"Didi...Didi..." I don't know how long it took, but the quiet radio station finally moved, and the signal lights kept flashing, which meant that there was a signal access.

The radio operator quickly put on his headphones to adjust the frequency, and recorded the telegram code while receiving the signal...

The message is very short, with only six words: "Successfully captured the stone gate", but it is very exciting.

"Teacher, it's done! The military news for saving the country, they really took down the stone gate in just over an hour!" The Chief of Staff, who received the telegram, was very excited, clenched his fist and waved it hard, and shouted loudly, with the joy being speechless.

The political commissar said in a breath: "The National Salvation Army successfully took down the Shimen, and we won half of this battle tonight!"

"According to the plan, they will divide some forces to protect the arsenal and material warehouse in the city. The remaining troops will continue to eliminate the remaining enemies in the city, and prevent the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops from jumping over the wall and destroying materials!"

"We must also seize the time and immediately arrange the mobilized local armed forces and the people to transport supplies to the city, and also deliver all the transportation we gathered to Shimen."

"Information shows that the materials in Shimen City are piled up like mountains. We must transport them out of the Shimen before dawn to prevent the Japanese army from dispatching planes to bomb the Shimen after dawn!"

The division commander suddenly ordered: "Send another telegram to Chen Zhengyu, the chief of staff of the National Salvation Army!"

"Order the National Salvation Army to send all artillery and heavy machine gun troops involved in the siege to marche and reinforce the aid forces, especially the Eighth Route Army troops responsible for the aid forces."

"Although they added a lot of heavy weapons before the war, they were still more than one level lower than the number of artillery and heavy machine guns equipped by the National Salvation Army!"

"With the National Salvation Army's artillery and heavy machine gun troops, the pressure to attack and annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops will be much less!"

The Chief of Staff looked at the division commander in surprise and asked: "It is still the same as before to send a telegram asking them to cooperate!"

The commander seemed to have made a decision in his heart and answered without hesitation: "Send it out in the form of an order!"

The political commissar immediately saw the purpose of the division commander and immediately responded: "Before, due to formal needs, the superiors approved Comrade Zhou Cheng to fight against Japan and fight against the Japanese as the National Rescue Army."

"There is a change in form. After this battle, the strength of the Japanese garrison troops in Hebei will definitely be severely damaged, and the strength of our Eighth Route Army will increase greatly. One will rise and the other will decrease. Unless the Japanese gangs increase their troops to Hebei, the situation of anti-Japanese resistance in Hebei will definitely get better and better."

"The Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi are gathering all mobile troops to siege the National Salvation Army defense zone. I don't know that Comrade Zhou Cheng has returned to the defense zone and has laid a net of heaven and earth for them."

"As long as Comrade Zhou Cheng kills or severely damages the Japanese and puppet troops, the anti-Japanese situation in Shanxi will get better and better, and Comrade Zhou Cheng will not need to continue to fight the Japanese under the hat of a national rescue army!"

The Chief of Staff understood: "Chief, do you want to change the national rescue army back and let them put on the Eighth Route Army uniforms again?"

The teacher nodded and said, "It's time to let Comrade Zhou Cheng come back!"

"As long as Zhou Cheng commands the left-behind troops in the defense zone to defeat the Japanese, the division headquarters will start to reorganize the Eighth Route Army?"

"As for the number and organization of the National Salvation Army in the future, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the headquarters before the final decision can be made. After all, their total strength has exceeded 10,000 people, and it is no longer a main regiment of that year. In addition to conventional infantry, there is also a reinforced heavy artillery battalion, a reinforced cavalry battalion, an air defense battalion, and a chariot battalion... The organization is small, and even if Zhou Cheng has no objection, other comrades will have opinions!"

"After sending the order from Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu, send a telegram to all the aid forces: Tell them that the Shimen County has been taken down, and the National Salvation Army will draw a large number of artillery and heavy machine gun troops to reinforce them!"

"Let them not be anxious, be sure to fight steadily and wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops at the minimum cost!"

ty. The commander of the Japanese army did not know the bad news that Shimen County had been conquered by the National Rescue Army.

If he takes a step back, even if he knows, he has no choice. Instead, he will order the Chief of Staff to continue to speed up the offensive.

The National Salvation Army can conquer Shimen in such a short time, further prove that the main force of the National Salvation Army is still in Shimen and the defense zone is empty. The offensive troops commanded by the Chief of Staff will definitely destroy their nests before the main force of the National Salvation Army returns to the aid defense zone, leaving them nowhere to go.

Before ten o'clock, they got into the warm bed and fell asleep.

In Shouyang Butler Village, more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops commanded by the Chief of Staff, camped here to rest.

Except for patrols and guard posts, most of the Japanese and puppet troops have fallen asleep.

Although there was no big battle in the day just now, there were no sporadic sneak attacks along the way, and they rushed for thirty or forty kilometers. Everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and hid in the barracks and slept soundly after dinner.

The Chief of Staff and the two captains did not sleep, and they were filled with excitement.

During the afternoon marching, they defeated three companies of the National Salvation Army in a row.

According to information: the main forces of the National Salvation Army are equipped with all Japanese equipment, sufficient ammunition and strong combat power.

Although the National Salvation Army they defeated in the afternoon was wearing a uniform that only had for the main force, the weapons in their hands were varied, including Hanyang, Liao Type 13 rifles, and Shanxi 38 large covers... It was very messy, and the soldiers had very little ammunition on their bodies. You can tell at a glance that they were local troops of the National Salvation Army.

But they used the banner of the main force to block them. After a few people analyzed it, they all felt that the National Salvation Army was bluffing, hoping to use some fake main force to scare them, slow down their offensive speed, and buy time for the National Salvation Army to transfer logistics agencies and arsenals.

"Chief of Staff, Bei Yi feels that our attack speed will be accelerated tomorrow!" a captain suggested.

"This afternoon, the fake main force of the National Salvation Army, we defeated, once again proved that the National Salvation Army defense zone was gone, which could threaten our main force. Their logistics agencies and arsenals were about to enter the mountain!"

"If they cannot intercept before they enter the mountain, there will definitely be a large number of national rescue troops who will become the fish that escaped the net in this encirclement."

"There are also the supplies they brought into the mountains. If they are scattered and hidden, it will be very difficult to find them. When the sweep is over in the future, and the remnants of the National Salvation Army return here, they can use those supplies to develop and grow again, and the results of our launch of this attack will be greatly reduced!"

Another captain immediately supported: "We did walk a little slow this afternoon!"

"The troops are too cautious. When they encounter valleys and complex terrain, they always stop first. They dare to continue to move forward after the investigation is no problem. It took at least an hour to delay!"

"If we don't waste this time, we can chase at least seven kilometers forward!"

"Tomorrow, it's best to cancel all these unnecessary reconnaissances. Just send a squadron to the front of the front to open the way for us!"
