After taking away the pistol at the head of the bed, the rich man Zhang finally saw the figures of the Eighth Route Army behind him.&1t;/p>

"Chief of the Eighth Route Army, although I am the president of the Maintenance Association and serve the Japanese, I have never done anything that is harmful to the world. They are all forced by the Japanese. Don't kill me. I have money. I will give you all the money in my family!"&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, we won't kill you!" Hong Ruijun, who was standing in front of him, affirmed.&1t;/p>

"We have investigated your matter clearly. If you want to kill you, you will not be able to speak at all. I just cut off your neck!"&1t;/p>

"We come here today, and there is only one thing, that is, to give you a chance to redeem your sins!"&1t;/p>

The rich man Zhang was obviously relieved and replied: "Please rest assured, I will definitely redeem my sins!"&1t;/p>

Early the next morning, Zhang Caizhu announced the expansion of the guard team as the president of the Maintenance Association. The Eighth Route Army of a company drove into the village, put on the cloak of the Maintenance Association Guard, and trained for the Maintenance Association Office~&1t;/p>

Hong Ruijun also moved the Guard Battalion Department to the maintenance office in the village.&1t;/p>

"Battery Commander, after statistics, we fought eight ambushes during this period, killed 259 Japanese and puppet troops, captured 653 puppet troops, and killed more than 100 people! After mobilization, 438 people were willing to join our Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese!" The instructor of the guard battalion reported with excitement on his face.&1t;/p>

"In addition, we also won seven maintenance associations, and the prisoners maintained the association office had 238 guards. After mobilization, half of the prisoners expressed their willingness to join our Eighth Route Army!"&1t;/p>

"In addition, a total of eight guerrillas nearby found us and asked to join us. Except for the three we sent out equipment a few days ago, the other eight guerrillas were very poor, but they had a lot of troops, and they were all tested veterans! There were a total of 234 people!"&1t;/p>

"Now I have expanded the two and three companies into battalions according to the order, each battalion under its jurisdiction."&1t;/p>

"The seven maintenance meetings we have won, except for the battalion and one company that occupy one, the remaining six maintenance meetings each company that occupy one. Moreover, these six companies are fully equipped and have a complete equipment. We are strengthening training..."&1t;/p>

"The only problem now is here. When will the company expand, how to expand, and where will the troops come from, you still need to decide on this!"&1t;/p>

Hong Ruijun replied with a smile on his face: "I don't have any idea that the troops will run so quickly~"&1t;/p>

"We are not in a hurry here. According to the information, the main force of the Japanese army gathered in Liu Town is distributing ammunition and preparing ammunition supplies. This is obviously the rhythm of going out to fight. When they leave, we have the opportunity to expand our troops and make a big comeback in the Japanese occupied area!"&1t;/p>

"In addition, the first company cannot move for the time being... The other two companies have been expanded into battalions. Although the troops have increased by more than three times, their overall combat effectiveness must be much worse. At this time, we must have a fist force in our hands, and the first company is this fist force."&1t;/p>

"We will be able to expand when the other two battalions initially form combat power!"&1t;/p>

Linfen City Japanese Army Division Command, Fujino has developed blind confidence in his subsequent attack.&1t;/p>

More and more imperial troops in the occupied areas were attacked, and the news was not unavailable to his ears. However, his mind was already all on the upcoming attack and ignored it.&1t;/p>

The Chief of Staff was very anxious. He was so familiar with every move of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in the occupied areas outside the city, and it was almost exactly the same as the way the New Regiment had developed from small to large.&1t;/p>

He could not imagine what size the guerrillas would have in a while: a battalion of hundreds of people, or several battalions of thousands of people...&1t;/p>

However, the division commander's mind is not here at all.&1t;/p>

I have reminded me several times, but the division commander Fujino always has an indifferent expression to make me feel at ease and not be anxious.&1t;/p>

Fujino is not worried. The Chief of Staff can only try to reduce the losses of the Imperial Army within his own rights, so that the development of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas will be slower.&1t;/p>

But without the troops, his actions were more like a futile preparation.&1t;/p>

Today there is still one day before the troops send troops, so he decided to persuade Fujino to pay attention to his rear.&1t;/p>

"The division commander, according to the information, there were problems in Xiangyan Village and seven or eight surrounding villages. On the surface, the Maintenance Association was still working for the Imperial Army, but in fact, those Maintenance Associations were working for the Eighth Route Army. Those villages had secretly become the territory of the Eighth Route Army, and there were a large number of Eighth Route Army troops in it to train!"&1t;/p>

The Chief of Staff said the news has not been finalized, but in order to make Lieutenant General Fujino pay attention to his rear, he couldn't control so much, so he said it directly!&1t;/p>

Fujino, who had been indifferent for several days, had moved for the first time on his face.&1t;/p>

After finding Xiangyan Village on the map, he stared at the Chief of Staff and asked: "In other words, this area has been secretly developed by the Eighth Route Army into their so-called base?"&1t;/p>

"How many Eighth Route Army are hidden inside!"&1t;/p>

The Chief of Staff hesitated for a moment and replied: "The specific number of people is not clear, but there must be hundreds of people!"&1t;/p>

Fujino's tense nerves suddenly relaxed: "Just this point, the occupied area surrounded by the Imperial Army, only a few hundred Eighth Route Army scared you like this, it's too much trouble!"&1t;/p>

"Chief of Staff, our urgent need to attack the new regiment base, kill and severely damage them!"&1t;/p>

"If you are distracted by these trivial matters, then should this attack be carried out!"&1t;/p>

"Don't forget that the front army is still staring at us, waiting for our good news!"&1t;/p>

"And southwestern Shanxi cooperated with our infantry regiment to take action, restraining the troops of at least 4,000 new 1st regiment of the Eighth Route Army. As long as we move here, we will definitely catch the new 1st regiment off guard, making them unable to defend!"&1t;/p>

Just as the Chief of Staff's face became more and more worried and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, Fujino's words changed and he followed and added.&1t;/p>

"But your worries are not unreasonable!"&1t;/p>

"The Eighth Route Army's troops are now too fast, and they are very cunning. They must be strangled in the bud!"&1t;/p>

"Tomorrow's offense remains unchanged. A strengthening squadron from the left-behind troops in Linfen City and a regiment of the Imperial Army. Kill them at dawn tomorrow morning and kill them!"&1t;/p>

"Hi! The division commander is wise, let's arrange the humble position now!"&1t;/p>

The atmosphere of the new first regiment command center was very serious. More than a dozen staff officers, telephone officers, and radio operators came in and out in a small room and sent the news from all over the place to Zhong Chenggong. After Zhong Chenggong summarized it, the useful news was sent to the regiment commander Wang Ping.&1t;/p>

"The leader of the regiment, Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe, are under great pressure. In order to deal with us, the Japanese have used all their assets this time." Described the successful report of Wang Ping after submitting a telegram.&1t;/p>

"A infantry gang is equipped with a heavy artillery brigade and a field artillery brigade. When we encounter our position, we will use artillery shells. In just one day, the casualties of the troops will reach a battalion. The front-line positions are almost destroyed!"&1t;/p>

"Then I won't fight against the Japanese!" Wang Ping frowned and decided.&1t;/p>

At the beginning of the battle, everyone wanted to block the Japanese directly outside the base area and minimize the casualties and losses in the base area. Now it seems that this wish is impossible to realize!&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
