What should I do next after a big victory? Ma Qian'an deliberately threw this problem to Zhou Yucheng.

This old guy was so blinded by this brilliant victory that he was so bright that he was so bright that he hugged Ma Qian'an when he saw him tightly and pounded and expressed his "mood".

"Then you need to say? Take advantage of the victory and eliminate the 59th Regiment." Zhou Yucheng was very excited, but immediately said with some concern: "They have been hit by a rocket, and now they may become frightened birds, and they are afraid they will not be able to catch them."

Lao Zhou is really a "pioneering" person, Ma Qianan shook his head helplessly.

Although it was a big victory, the comparison of enemy and us did not undergo a fundamental transformation. The Japanese were still very good at soldiers and food, and the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were still weak. Although they could form a certain advantage in the local area to annihilate part of the enemy, just like today, this is not the norm, and such opportunities cannot be captured at will.

Although the 59th Regiment was bombarded, it may not be damaged. Hundreds of rockets hit such a large area, killing and injuring 300 people was the result of the smoke from the ancestral tomb. With the current direct subordinates of the corps and hundreds of young and strong men who had just picked up weapons, they wanted to chase more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers? Besides, there was a 11th Brigade over there, pushing so many enemies? I am not stupid.

"No!" Ma Qian'an looked directly at Zhou Yucheng's eyes and retorted slowly: "Now we need to retreat, and it's not a small retreat, but a large retreat. Retreat far away, so that the Japanese can't touch their heads."

In Ma Qian'an's eyes, the first phase of the anti-encirclement and suppression was completed with the elimination of the 15th Japanese Regiment as the terminator. It has been successfully completed. Now we should try to minimize contact with the Japanese, play hide-and-seek with them in the mountains, dragging them down.

More importantly, it is necessary to accumulate manpower and material resources during this period, recruit new soldiers and reserve enough ammunition.

This is also an effective way to maintain strength. Now every soldier is precious. Ma Qian'an also plans to use them as backbone to expand the army. If he is exhausted, he will lose all possibilities. The backbone will not cut one after another like cutting leeks. It is far from the critical point where the hematopoiesis speed is greater than the blood loss speed. If the elite soldiers lose too much, it will be difficult to recover their vitality, let alone the violent soldiers based on this.

As long as we don’t fight hard with the Japanese, our Anbin Column has thousands of elite soldiers, will we not be able to hold on next spring? Soviet Americans have been struggling in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan for more than 20 years, with such modern weapons and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but they still can’t do anything to resist just a few thousand rebellious forces?

As long as we persist until next spring, the Americans should take action in Nanyang no matter how much the Kwantung Army is transferred to the south, which will be a great opportunity for our Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. It’s not that I, Ma Qian, is worried about being dirty, just want to save my strength and watch allies and the Japanese killings kill and fight to death. I am really too weak now and need you to pull it. Sam, I am retaining the fire for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Your brother will turn a blind eye. Anyway, you have to fight with the Japanese. Just pretend that you didn’t see what I did.

Under Ma Qian'an's order, the headquarters of the Anbin Column retreated 50 kilometers northward and reached the deep mountains at the junction of Xing'an East Province and Xing'an North Province. The other detachments also retreated ten to twenty kilometers one after another, maintaining a close attitude with the enemy. The combat density suddenly decreased a lot, and casualties quickly decreased.

However, Ma Qian'an has a delicate heart, but Americans may not be foolish than him.

Bolani, the special envoy of General Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, once again found Ma Qian'an.

Along with Bolani, Stilwell's private consultant Davis, Ma Zhanshan accompanied two Americans to receive Ma Qian'an at his command post.

General Lao Ma urgently recruited Ma Qian'an to come. Even though Ma Qian'an was dissatisfied with eight points, he had to come "at the order". Lao Ma mysteriously said in the telegram that there was a big event, but he did not explain what the big event was, which made Ma Qian'an uneasy and had to come to find out the truth and reality in person. After a few days of trekking, Ma Qian'an finally arrived at the new and old nest of Ma Zhanshan. This place is relatively safer in the border area.

After entering the command post, Ma Qian'an first stared at Ma Zhanshan's big bald head, hung his military cap on the wall and then complained: "What are you doing? It's so mysterious. I'm fighting a war. If there is nothing to tell you what is important in person, I will never come again. Is it fun to be tricked by you?"

Look at what you said, kid? Ma Zhanshan was happily waiting for Ma Qian'an to come to greet him. Unexpectedly, he complained so much that he wanted to slam the table and was worried that there were international friends present. He had to suppress his anger and glared at Ma Qian'an, pretending to be disregardless and replied in a calm tone: "A bastard, let you come and see you impatient. I am not idle when you fight. The ashes bags transported from the Japanese attacked me, which contained seventy or eighty donkeys."

This is a "blame talk" between the two. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and Ma Zhanshan both intercepted the donkeys transporting bags of ashes by the Japanese, and knew that each donkey could carry about 3,040 ashes of dead Japanese.

Ma Qian'an's eyes lit up. Old Ma's record was also good. He reimbursed more than 3,000 Japanese devils in more than a month.

But compared to me, it is far behind. Old Ma killed 3,700 Japanese soldiers, and I only had 6,000 soldiers. During this period, all the detachments had a record of at least 8,000 Japanese reimbursed in the hands of the Anbin Column, and I was the main force.

After thinking about it, Ma Qian'an felt a little satisfied. He wanted to make a few fucks, and the two Americans sitting in the shadow couldn't help but stand up and interrupt.

In fact, Ma Qian'an had already seen Bolani sitting there, and Ma Qian'an just pretended to be invisible. We have to hold on to the momentum first. You are coming to me, not me wanting to find you.

The first thing he said was not Bolani, but another guy with blue eyes, gray-white hair, and long face, and a "thick" look on his face. He looked about forty years old and his hair turned white, and I don't know if he had less gray hair.

Ma Qian'an stared at the guy with a squinted eye, and he was very "malice" in his heart.

Bolani is Stilwell's person, so it must be the old guy Stilwell who wants to find us again.

Stilwell's life is not easy now. This guy commanded the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar and ruined the two best main divisions of the National Government Army. He had unshirkable command responsibilities and was criticized with evil comments. Three months ago, Chiang Kai-shek even proposed to replace him and let him go back to his hometown to carry the child, but hesitantly took back the suggestion, allowing Stilwell to escape the disaster.

Ma Qian'an had a clear understanding of Stilwell. No matter how he disliked the Chiang regime or expressed his affection for Yan'an, his starting point was his own loyalty to the United States, and the first thing he considered was the interests of the Americans.

Disgusted with Chiang's regime, denounced the defeat of the government, demoted the incompetence of the generals of the Guo army, and fought for command of the Chinese theater. Behind all this, there are distinct interests of the Americans. He pointed directly to a central point, that even if Chiang's army was strong, he could better and more eliminate the Japanese, in order to reduce the casualties of the US military on the Pacific battlefield in the future.

As for the proposal to properly arm the Eighth Route Army, the starting point is undoubtedly like this: the Chinese who can be armed and fight against them, so that they can defeat more Japanese people.

In order to force Chiang Kai-shek to submit and become the "Supreme Emperor", Stilwell artificially controlled the speed of the "Lease Act" materials flowing into China, and it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of private revenge.
