"By the way, instructor, didn't we capture a group of puppet soldiers? You should examine them first. If there are no bad deeds, you can mobilize them first to see if they can be allowed to join our Eighth Route Army. Now we have suffered huge casualties. What will happen next?

We still have to fight a fierce battle, and there is a serious shortage of soldiers now."

"Here, let me give it a try." Yang Junjie said a little surprised.

They came to the front line full of enthusiasm, full of confidence and high enthusiasm, thinking that their knowledge and theory would definitely help the soldiers and improve their combat effectiveness. However, the reality hindered them.

His theories are incomprehensible to others, and his knowledge cannot be used by others. It is shameful. He thinks he is a soldier, but in the eyes of his comrades, he is a useless scholar.

This was a big blow. He had to learn everything from scratch and began to slowly explore. Now he really has no confidence. He always feels that many people are not communicating on the same channel. How can he persuade and mobilize the other party to join the Eighth Route Army?

"That Battalion Commander Zhang, why don't you replace him with someone else? Comrade Chen Haoming, the instructor of the Seventh Company, is pretty good." Yang Junjie reminded, now he knows that his only weight is dumplings in a teapot, and he only has a full belly of knowledge and theory.

It can't be poured out.

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said: "Xiao Chen is good, let him assist you."

Yang Junjie: "..."

Big brother, uh no, brother, everyone is older than you, right? Is it really okay to call me Xiao Chen?

Zhang Yunfei didn't know the slander in his partner's heart. He was very satisfied with Yang Junjie's recent performance.

It’s good that he can adopt the airs of an intellectual and calm down to learn and do things sincerely.

But this is not surprising. The cadres of the Eighth Route Army are really quite squeamish. Besides, no matter that era, the army is a melting pot. No matter what you look like when you come in, you will eventually become the same.

The instructor of the Seventh Company recommended by Yang Junjie can be regarded as a capable person. You must know that it is not easy to partner with He Jicheng. Of course, Deputy Chief of Staff Qian and him have stumbled.

But this Chen Haoming was able to get along well with him, and he really couldn't do it without some ability.

Now that all the troops that had been dispersed and evacuated were returned to the formation, Zhang Yunfei thought about it and made some adjustments and reorganization of the troops in order to cope with the subsequent anti-mopping operations.

The disabled Ninth Company was integrated into a strengthened platoon, and this strengthened platoon was temporarily assigned to the Seventh Company, which was also experiencing serious attrition. The current Seventh Company became a strengthened company.

Now each infantry platoon is equipped with a light machine gun, and a lot of ammunition was seized this time, making their machine gun ammunition less scarce.

The ammunition they seized this time amounted to more than 2,000 kilograms, which seemed like a lot. In fact, if all 500 people shared it, it would only be thirty or forty rounds of ammunition per person.

For the Eighth Route Army, this was indeed a wealthy man's fortune, but it was not squandered, so the supply of ammunition was still a bit tight for the next battle.

Although they destroyed a puppet company and a Japanese transport team, crippled two other companies, and fought against Fenghe, they were far from damaged.

They would not give up the raids that they had prepared for so long so easily. If the Japanese and puppet troops were allowed to shorten the duration and intensity of the raids, they would lessen the damage of their large-scale raids.

Then they must take the initiative to find fighter opportunities and disrupt the enemy's combat intentions.

Moreover, Zhang Yunfei had a vague feeling that this raid by the Japanese and puppet troops might have other purposes and was not entirely aimed at his third battalion.

After he captured Fudian, it was understandable that the Japanese would carry out retaliatory raids, but gathering more than 3,000 troops at once was a bit excessive. It always felt like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

Okay, it's a bit inappropriate to compare myself to a chicken, but that's the meaning. Such an unusual troop deployment of the New City Army must have other purposes.

As a military commander, he was still a little sensitive, but he couldn't figure out for a while why the Japanese attached so much importance to his troops.

[Update soon] Zhang Yunfei did not have the ability to completely defeat the mopping up troops this time, but he still considered how to cause trouble for the enemy while reducing losses.

The more the Japanese and puppet troops tried to suppress him and immobilize him, the more he had to jump around to see what these guys were up to or what kind of conspiracy they were trying to pull off.

Therefore, we decided to take the initiative and capture the fighter planes to stab the Japanese and puppet troops' weak spots. The Eighth Route Army's raids against the Japanese and puppet troops were all done in this way.

Open up multiple points and fully mobilize the enemy. Only by mobilizing the enemy on a large scale will the enemy reveal its fox tail and reveal its hidden true strategic intentions.

Zhang Yunfei, with his keen intuition, could not rule out the real intention of the Japanese, but he could sense something about it, even though the news from Wang Zhengyi said that it was to encircle and suppress them.

But the words of the traitors and puppet soldiers themselves are not credible. He does not mean that Wang Zhengyi told lies, but how can the Japanese really believe in traitors like the puppet soldiers, who can even betray their own country.

They regarded the puppet soldiers as just dogs. How could a human explain to a dog what he wanted to do? He could only give orders.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei felt that the Japanese did not tell them the real purpose of the raid.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei guessed correctly. Ogawa Seiichi did have other goals. His raid this time was not an isolated action.

Instead, he acted in accordance with the plans formulated by the Northern Branch Front Army and the First Army's military headquarters, asking him to ensure the security around the New City area.

Of course, places like Pingchuan also received such orders, but they acted much more safely and did not carry out large-scale raids. The reason for this was that Zhang Yunfei's attack on Fu's store stimulated him.

In fact, a large number of Japanese logistics personnel were about to evacuate back to China, and as the new city was a major transportation road, it naturally became the only way to pass through it. Since a transfer station like Fudian was breached by the Eighth Route Army, it was inevitable that it would attract the attention of higher-level departments.

His reputation as Ogawa Sei is incompetent and unreliable. If the logistics personnel have problems in his defense area, he will not have to take off his military uniform. It is very likely that the military police will not invite him to tea.

He could just take a knife and make a cross on his stomach.

This was a matter of life, so Ogawa Seiichi naturally did not dare to be careless. He would rather be a frightened bird, be more careful, and control the Eighth Route Army and watch closely to prevent them from coming out to cause trouble.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yunfei feels that the combat intentions of the Japanese and puppet troops this time are always strange, they are completely following the ordinary path.
