Finally, he stared at the chief of staff and asked, "What do you mean?"

After thinking about it, the Chief of Staff decided to express his true thoughts, after all, it was related to himself and more than a thousand lives around him.

"The situation we are facing now has told us that if we don't understand that our opponents are pursuing rashly, it will be a big loss, and even a total destruction is possible. We must decisively stop this risky action because we can't afford to bet!"

"Captain of the regiment, you must be clear that once we lose the bet, everyone here may be destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. At that time, the entire Laiyuan will be gone without the Imperial Army troops that can compete with the Eighth Route Army. They can defeat each of them and take down the entire Laiyuan step by step!"

"You must never let this situation happen!" Ono said very decisively.

But as soon as he said that, he felt unwilling to accept it, and then added: "If you finish the action like this, will the warriors who have been killed in battle in the past few days be in vain?"

"No! They won't die in vain!" explained the Chief of Staff.

"According to the order, in the next half month, the supplementary troops sent by the commander to us will be renewed in 6 ways, and our corps will be expanded into a garrison brigade, with a total strength of 6,500, which is more than three times that of now!"

"If the corps commander is willing, the Laiyuan Security Regiment can also be expanded into a brigade. In this way, the corps commander's troops will increase to 10,000 people, and there will never be any shortage of troops in front of you again!"

Ono's frown stretched a lot at this time, and then his eyes shone brightly and said, "If there are really ten thousand troops, even if all the troops in the First Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army come over, I'm not afraid!"

"Captain, do you agree?" As soon as Ono showed signs of letting go, the Chief of Staff asked!

Ono nodded and affirmed: "Chief of Staff, you are right. I can't take the lives of so many warriors and take risks with me, let alone Laiyuan. Laiyuan City must not be taken back by the Eighth Route Army!"

Speaking of this, Colonel Ono changed his subject and continued: "However, the investigation and attack of the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan cannot be relaxed! Our intelligence agency must speed up the infiltration of the intelligence in Laiyuan. I don't care whether they plan to bribe the Chinese or send out an intelligence team. At most five days, I must figure out the total strength and equipment of the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan! The more detailed the better, otherwise, the intelligence consultant of the headquarters will be waiting to go to the military court!"

"As for the attack, from now on, all strongholds will be more vigilant. After the replenishment of troops, they will first replenish the troops to make them full. When the Eighth Route Army attacks, there will be no room for fighting back!"

"The other is the Laiyuan Security Corps. I agree to expand the security regiment into a security brigade. After I go back, I will apply to the commander. However, the combat effectiveness shown by the security forces in the past few days has really disappointed me. After returning, the security brigade must strengthen training. Chief of Staff, you will also transfer an Imperial Army from a squadron to join the security regiment, serving as deputy officers at all levels, and are responsible for training!"

"From now on, I don't want to see the security forces surrender to the enemy in an established system, or fight timidly on the battlefield, and they will collapse without fighting!" After thinking that the arrangement was made, Ono issued an order to retreat.

Wang Ping, who received the news, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then took the capture and prisoners to Zhangjiawan and meet with Cheng Xiao.

The village, which originally had only a few families, has become a huge military camp with the arrival of the independent camp.

At the beginning, these hunters did not agree to the independent battalion to set up the military camp here. One of the important reasons why they moved their homes here from the mountains and then made a living by hunting was to avoid military disasters.

In their eyes, if the military forces were stationed near the village, it would not take too long for the Japanese to find it here, and they would be affected by war. Therefore, after hearing Cheng Xiao's idea of ​​setting up the independent camp station here, several hunters subconsciously refused.

Fortunately, the Independent Battalion won many victories after attacking Laiyuan, and had both money and food.

Seeing that several hunters rely on hunting to make a living, and their families couldn't even eat enough, they offered to provide each hunter with 100 kilograms of white flour so that they could survive this cold winter. Otherwise, when the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, more than 30 people in Zhangjiawan would definitely be frozen to death and starved to death!

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army did not steal whatever they saw like the Central Army and Jinsui Army that they had encountered before, and in turn gave him food to his family to survive in the cold winter. These hunters were very moved and eventually gave all the open space and forests at the east end of the village to the Independent Battalion as a garrison, and gave them many mountain goods that could not be sold due to the war!

It was getting colder outside, and it was snowing in the weather. The troops had many wounded soldiers because of continuous combat. It was definitely impossible to expose them to the cold camp.

Just when Cheng Xiao was in trouble, Zhong Yusheng came back. Not only did he bring a large number of seizures, but he also brought back seventy or eighty prisoners.

As long as there is someone, everything is easy to do.

With the help of dozens of villagers in Zhangjiawan, Cheng Xiao used the puppet army prisoners in his hands to build more than a dozen wooden barracks in just two days to ensure that the people in the military camp have a place to live for the time being, and also gave the empty camp a little like a military barracks.

When Wang Ping led the team back to Zhangjiawan, the main force of the independent camp brought a lot of supplies and equipment and had to take a detour, but he had not come back yet.

Looking at the camp that had just begun to take shape but was still empty, Wang Ping was very satisfied, and when he had the idea of ​​treating it as a long-term camp for independent camps.

Even if the independent camp is expanded in the future, so there will be no more people stationed here, this camp can be regarded as a secret camp for the independent camp!

As soon as the idea was raised, instructor Cheng Xiao agreed: "I agree that I have looked at the surrounding terrain in the past two days. It can be said that it can attack and retreat and defend. It is very suitable to be a resident!"

"If the village gave us all the vacant land and forests to build camps, there is no problem with the capacity of a thousand people!"

"And there is also the geographical location here. There are more than 20 villages in the surrounding area of ​​30 miles, all of which are very large. We can completely radiate the surrounding villages step by step with Zhangjiawan as the center, and then build bases based on these villages!"

Wang Ping's eyes at Cheng Xiao changed suddenly. He thought he was just an old political worker, but he didn't expect that he was so smart in military affairs and was simply a versatile talent.

At this time, Wang Ping finally understood what Chief of Staff Tang said to him when he sent Cheng Xiao over.

"I have picked up the treasure for Cheng Xiao to come to the independent camp. I must develop the independent camp as soon as possible, and I can't lose money on Cheng Xiao."

As an all-round commander, there are talents like Cheng Xiao, the Eighth Route Army everywhere. In the future, it will be fine if you are a leader and a political commissar. Now you are a teacher for yourself, which is definitely a waste of talent.

If I can't expand the independent battalion into an independent group as soon as possible, I'm really sorry for Cheng Xiao.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping became even more motivated.
Chapter completed!
