The raid launched by Xincheng this time can only be regarded as a small-scale clearing of the countryside. The devils will do this kind of thing every now and then.

At least in Ogawa Seiichi's understanding, it was a force deterrent to squeeze the tentacles of the Eighth Route Army out of the new city and prevent it from developing and growing.

As for the elimination of the Eighth Route Army, he never thought that the Eighth Route Army was not so easy to eliminate. The imperial army spent a lot of money and continued to strengthen public security. Not only did they fail to wipe out the Eighth Route Army, but they became more and more powerful.

Ogawa Seiichi is a little different from other devils, that is, as long as you don't come to trouble me, I will just keep the door closed and live a happy life of my own.

Ogawa Seiji regarded it as a routine counterattack and didn't pay much attention to it. He only sent a dozen Japanese soldiers to supervise the battle, and then handed over the matter to Li Jianfeng of the security army, and ignored the rest.

Li Jianfeng was not as comfortable as Ogawa Seiichi when he accepted the task. He was asked to fight against the extremely vicious Eighth Route Army.

Although he claims to have more than 3,000 people under his command, he is engaged in enfeoffment, and at least most of them are similar in nature to Wang Zhengyi, and they only obey his orders in name.

Of course, these guys are not as thorny as Wang Zhengyi, and they are not able to compete with him. At least on the surface, they must be respectful and sincere, and they still obey orders in general matters.

But when it comes to their own interests, that's not the case. It's impossible to get them to serve you sincerely.

Take this operation as an example. He, Li Jianfeng, organized it with full authority and was not led by Taijun. These guys were all very cunning and shied away from the important task of defending the place.

So he could only send his direct subordinates to carry out the mission, which was not a good thing. Once his troops were severely damaged, he would really be unable to subdue these guys. Wang Zhengyi would probably be the first to attack him.

He was resisting this battle from the bottom of his heart, and really wanted to just deal with it casually, but Miura Yohei was a battlefield madman, and with such an advisor here, he would never be allowed to fight.

Li Jianfeng now regrets a little. Why did he do so much? A subordinate of the deputy captain of the detective team died, and he was shot by the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, if I had just treated it as an eight-pronged anti-rape operation and simply hid in the county seat without leaving, nothing would have happened.

He had a headache and insisted on meddling and making the matter bigger. Not only did he lose most of the manpower he had assigned to the detective team, but now he had to go into battle himself to clean up the holes that were getting bigger and bigger. Why bother!

Facing the advancing enemy troops, Zhang Yunfei was not worried about the safety of his troops, but he was also not in a good mood.

This group of Japanese and puppet troops are like locusts passing through the border, leaving a mess wherever they pass.

This requires them to be prepared and fully prepared to evacuate in normal times, so that they can still bear this loss.

However, we are in a special period now. The people in the base area are suffering from severe drought and are already barely surviving. If they are destroyed by the enemy again, it will be even worse.

Other things can be taken away, but the crops and seedlings in the fields cannot be taken away. These were saved by the military and civilian efforts to fight the drought and took a lot of effort. If they were destroyed by the enemy.

The days to come will be difficult, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death.

Zhang Yunfei was caught in a dilemma. According to the Eighth Route Army's tactical thinking, the best strategy is to retreat when the enemy advances and avoid its edge.

However, according to the actual situation, he is not allowed to retreat blindly and preserve his strength.

It seems that the battle between himself and Li Jianfeng is inevitable.

Zhang Yunfei was not very clear about the combat effectiveness of Li Jianfeng's puppet army. This guy cherished his wings very much.

They had had some confrontations before, but Li Jianfeng did not show all his special skills.

This time, he wanted to see the truth, but judging from what he knew, there was a difference between closeness and distance. Li Jianfeng still put a lot of effort into his immediate confidants.

They also intercepted a lot of supplies in private, and their equipment and treatment were slightly better than those of other puppet troops.

There are approximately three battalions of Li Jianfeng's immediate subordinates. In terms of establishment and equipment level, each battalion is fully staffed.

In addition, this time the puppet army also equipped a firepower battalion composed of two heavy machine guns and four mortars. The infantry were all equipped with 79 rifles.

Let’s not talk about the combat power. Just talking about this configuration, like that, at least it looks no worse than the New Ninth Regiment, and it has a lot more troops than itself.

However, although their light and heavy weapons are not much stronger than those of the New Ninth Regiment, they are backed by the Japanese and the eccentric boss Li Jianfeng.

In terms of ammunition supply, they are much more generous, so in terms of ammunition quantity, their New Ninth Regiment is far behind the opponent.

It can be seen that Li Jianfeng has put a lot of effort into his trusted troops. This is also the confidence for him to resist Wang Zhengyi and subdue the leaders of the puppet army in Xincheng. This is the first time that all the troops are deployed, showing all their strength.

Out.

Looking at the situation map of the enemy and ourselves on the map, Zhang Yunfei almost knitted his brows. Although the Japanese had reduced their troops, they often guarded the blockade and stopped dispatching.

However, they have expanded the puppet army. Now in the Xincheng area, the Japanese troops are seriously insufficient. However, the puppet army's power has increased greatly, and the Xincheng is defended very tightly.

Just when Zhang Yunfei was thinking about how to deal with the current complicated situation, Qian Deming walked in and saw Zhang Yunfei staring at the map in a daze. He did not disturb Zhang Yunfei but sat aside silently.

Although Qian Deming did not interrupt himself, Zhang Yunfei still woke up from his reverie, shook his head and said: "It's a bit of a headache, old Qian, we are under a lot of pressure this time, and the current changes in the enemy situation are not good for us!"

"Look at the current situation. I feel that these puppet troops are not here to sweep away, but to compete for territory. Look at the positions they are stuck in. No matter where we attack, we cannot avoid the defense zones of these puppet troops. I didn't expect this.

Li Jianfeng still has two brushes."

"..."

Qian Deming, who didn't know much about military matters, was still confused when he saw how he was pointing at the map.

Seeing Qian Deming looking at him, Zhang Yunfei realized that he was not Ren Xiaofeng. He couldn't understand the detailed combat deployment, so he simply explained: "Let's put it this way, the puppet army's march route is very complicated this time."

It’s interesting. We can cover up from the east and adopt a centralized garrison posture. This is driving away wolves and devouring tigers, forcing us to fight with other puppet troops!”

Qian Deming still didn't understand what Zhang Yunfei was talking about, but as a cultural person, he still understood the meaning of driving wolves and devouring tigers. If he understood correctly, what Zhang Yunfei meant was that Li Jianfeng wanted to drive them through other pseudo-prefectures.

The army's defense zone achieves the purpose of killing people with a borrowed knife.

As for where to rush, it goes without saying, of course it is to the west to the area where the river is closed.

His meaning was very obvious, as if to say, I am ready, brother, you only have two choices, either fight with me, or go and play with Wang Zhengyi!
