Their troops are placed here to contain the Japanese forces. Now that the Japanese are raiding everywhere, they can't do any big things, but at least they have to ensure that the Japanese in Pingchuan have no time to spare and don't dare to divert their troops to support other places.

So they can't really just hide away. This place is their base. If it is wantonly destroyed by the Japanese, it will also be a blow to their morale.

They can't defeat the main force of the Japs, but they can always find some of the Japs' weak points and give them a hard hit if they have the chance.

Chen Youquan was still a little confused about Zhang Yunfei's thoughts, so he asked: "Old Zhang, should we jump out of the outside line? There are too many Japanese this time. If we attack one area, it is very likely that

We will be surrounded by Japanese soldiers on all sides, which is too dangerous."

In Zhang Yunfei's view, his partner is a little transparent and has a weak sense of presence. In Chen Youquan's view, his partner has a pretty good personality, but of course, he is not easy to get along with.

He has a distinct personal character. Well, another way of saying it is that he is very opinionated, which means it is difficult to accept other people's suggestions. Fortunately, although he is young, he makes no mistakes in the decisions he makes.

And he is not a person who likes to argue. As long as there are no issues of principle involved and the matter can be solved, he will turn a blind eye as a good old man and not interfere too much.

But this kind of important matter, which is related to the life and death of the whole detachment, is not a trivial matter. Naturally, he has to express his own opinions. He still feels that it is better to play it safe.

"Old Chen, now the entire eastern and southeastern Shanxi are integrated. There is no such thing as an outside line. Where can we retreat? Now there are blockades and encirclement networks of the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere. We jumped out and went to other places.

He is even more unfamiliar with the place and is more passive. It is better to deal with the Japanese here." Zhang Yunfei still maintains enough respect for his partner who supports him to the maximum extent. Naturally, he must explain this important action to him clearly.

Get his understanding and support.

Now that wars are raging, where is the so-called safe place? It's okay for a small guerrilla force like them. They can still find a place to rest for two days. Like those large forces, there are too many people and they can't hide their whereabouts.

In order not to be surrounded by the Japanese, we had to keep moving.

Chen Youquan is an honest person. This kind of people do not fight or rob, but when they are certain about something in their hearts, they cannot change it. In the end, they were not able to convince him, but he also accepted Zhang Yunfei's point of view to a limited extent. Well, that is, he reserved his opinions.

.

However, one advantage of people like him is that no matter how much he disagrees with your opinions, he will not hold you back. He will also complete the tasks you give him with all his heart and soul.

Under the cover of darkness, their team of sixty or seventy people began to turn around, making a big detour, crossing the Japs' blockade, and marching towards the back of the Japs' troops.

Both of them were conducting pre-war maneuvers, but none of them expected that they would encounter the same old opponent from last time.

In Ogawa Seiichi's opinion, this is a group of local Eighth Route Army soldiers. According to the practice of the Eighth Route Army, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are poorly equipped and have poor weapons. They generally do not leave their bases very far and are not associated with the troops that attacked them last time.

.

As for the Eighth Route Army, it is naturally impossible to obtain information at the brigade and squadron level, so we still know nothing about the numbers of the troops for this invasion. However, Zhang Yunfei is used to referring to Pingchuan Garrison. Well, this is the same as their Pingchuan garrison.

The detachment names are closer.

According to Zhang Yunfei's guess, the Japs in these two squadrons were probably a squadron left behind by the Japs who went south, plus a squadron drawn from the Pingchuan garrison.

With limited intelligence clues, this can only be regarded as a bold guess, because the number of Japanese soldiers going south was only three squadrons, which was obviously one squadron less according to the formation of the brigade.

He had long speculated that the Japanese from Pingchuan wanted to take advantage of the east wind to carry out mopping-up operations, and as soon as the Japanese from the south arrived, they would start mopping up. It was obvious that there were troops from the Japanese from the south.

Of course, this is just Zhang Yunfei's habitual analysis and does not have much practical significance. Anyway, for the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare, it is enough to know how many Japanese soldiers there are. As for other things, it does not have much significance.

He did not know that Ogawa Seiichi's troops existed in the county, nor did he know that the Otsuka Brigade was missing a squadron of troops when it went south.

The Japanese like to engage in tactical penetration, and the depth of penetration is so great that after receiving an urgent order, the Otsuka Brigade naturally could not wait until the squadron that had traveled too far returned to build up.

In fact, the Japanese's large-scale changes of positions were very frequent. For example, at the beginning, the Taniguchi Division's defense area was in southern Hebei, but the Eighth Route Army ambushed his intervening troops in eastern Shanxi.

When the Taniguchi Division was defending Jindong, Zhang Yunfei's troops encountered the Jingguan Division's troops in Jindong and were directly disabled.

Ogawa Seiichi was a member of the Ushijima Division, but they penetrated deeply into the dancers' defense area. This was the enemy's penetration force, which was often dazzling.

This time Ogawa Seiichi carried out the sweep with great caution. Not only did he have to complete the task, but he also had to complete it beautifully and perfectly in order to change the impression of incompetence he left on others.

It's not that he can't feel the contemptuous looks cast by others, but what can he do? In the face of the facts, any excuse is feeble, so he can only use his performance to prove again that it was just a fiasco caused by accidental factors, not

Even if he is incompetent, he will not be able to escape the blame in the end.

He also wanted to prove himself, and he could never leave the army in despair with the shame of being incompetent and the contempt of everyone. This was his last chance to prove himself, so he shamelessly took over this task.

This little bit of shameless behavior is nothing to him. This is probably the last chance to prove himself. If he loses this opportunity to prove himself, he will really lose his face in the future. Now he still cares about that little bit of shame.

what.

The most humble person is invincible. Otsuka and Maeda were directly defeated. What the heck, they are Lieutenant Colonel and they are Majors. If they don't release military power, they can only be their deputies. They look at themselves with contempt.

, with their pride, how could they be willing to submit to themselves?

His calculations were very accurate. When he squeezed into the sweep queue in such a rogue way, the two guys immediately withdrew.

Looking at the marching queue, Ogawa Seiichi was slightly in a trance. This was the last time he would lead the army. Thinking about his past, it made people feel sad. For this war, he was full of good wishes. This is

God-given opportunity, this is God's opportunity for him to make contributions. In peacetime, it is basically impossible for him to be promoted to the rank of general. Only war can allow him to show his talents, stand out, and enter the rank of general.
