On December 23, the Fengguang Regiment withdrew from Qingzhou. On the 24th, the Independent Division moved in.
Zhou Weiguo also withdrew to Zibo along with Fengguang Sanlang and others. Of course, Zibo originally had a garrison. In this way, even though Zhou Weiguo and the others were outsiders, they also encountered not so friendly treatment compared to the original garrison. However,
The Scenery Alliance had plenty of supplies and was not too upset. After all, a team like the Scenery Alliance who took the initiative to retreat did receive a lot of looks.
"Your Excellency, Captain, they have gone too far!" Ji Yongmu said angrily. When they arrived in Zibo, they were not provided with accommodation. In fact, the defenders here did not even have a good tone.
"You can't blame them for this." Fengguang Saburo sighed. He had already made such preparations, but as long as he could save his soldiers, no matter what, he had already telegraphed to the headquarters that all members of their unit were safe.
Withdraw. The headquarters would not let a combat-effective unit be left waste like this. Moreover, the troops in Dongying did not retreat. Of course, Saburo Fengguang knew that the troops there must also have plans to retreat.
"Your Excellency, the captain of the unit, is right. Now, in their eyes, we are deserters and defeated generals. Naturally, they don't want to see us." Zhou Weiguo said, "So, we must make some achievements."
"Takahashi-kun is right." Katori He said, "Your Excellency, Captain, although we have not received a good settlement now, we still have our own dignity after all."
"I know, let's do this for now." Fengguang Saburo waved his hand, not caring.

Tada Shun's face looked ugly, and Yoshikawa Shin's face didn't look good either.
He didn't expect the Fengguang Regiment to retreat directly. He intended to punish him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. After all, it was a fantasy for a Regiment to block the independent division.
The reason why Yoshikawa Nobu's face turned ugly was because he confirmed that more than half of the people who had previously infiltrated into the Laiyang area had been exterminated, leaving only a small number of people. This was something he never expected.
It can be said that when facing the independent division, they really struggled step by step and suffered heavy losses. The special forces in Yunmen Mountain sacrificed themselves, and the losses were already huge. As a result, most of the intelligence personnel in the Laiyang area were lost. Now, look at the scenery.
Jun Tada even felt a little lucky about Saburo's retreat.
"Maintain the status quo, reduce soldier casualties, and wait for the internal strife of the Chinese people." Shun Tada said, "Moreover, this is also in line with the policy of the big men in the base camp."
Yoshikawa Nobu nodded and sighed, "It's really scary. An independent division actually makes the empire feel helpless everywhere."
"It's just temporary. To suppress the independent division, new fighters must be developed. When the fighters developed by the empire can suppress the independent fighters, our opportunity to counterattack will come." Tada Shun said, "But before that,
What we have to do is to preserve our strength as much as possible."
"I see."
"As for the arrangements for this regiment, let's arrange for them to return to Laiwu where the 78th Brigade is stationed. Those in the province will be looked down upon in other places."
"Hi!"
…
On the 25th, the Independent Division launched an attack on Dongying. The Japanese troops in Dongying were unable to resist and gave up their position.
As a result, Qingzhou and Dongying were restored.
This news seemed to have dropped a bomb in China, which had been quiet for several days. The people praised the Independent Division and compared the soldiers of the Independent Division with the National Army troops.
At this time, the national army was inactive and even attacked the Eighth Route Army, which was resisted by the people.

"Bastard!" Lao Jiang slammed the table again, "He is trying to trap us in injustice. What are the people saying now!" Of course, if Zhou Weiguo knew this, he would definitely refute, you
He has done so many unjust things, are he still afraid of being accused? In Zhou Weiguo's view, Chiang Kai-shek has ignored the national conditions too many times, and even if he can't persuade him to come back, there is no need to discuss it with him anymore.
After all, Tao is different and they do not seek each other.
"Principal, calm down." Dai Li said in a low voice, "After all, the fight against Japan is still the top priority now. Naturally, the people don't understand. They only see that there is still so much territory occupied by the Japanese. From different angles, they naturally see the same things.
It’s different. What the principal has to do is not just take back the country.”
"Hey, you still understand me." Lao Jiang sighed, "If you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."
"yes!"

"This is great!" Li Chang clapped his hands. Although he was removed from the position of group leader, as long as he stayed in the new regiment for one day, he would be the group leader, and he was planning to leave.
"Dabiao, have you chosen the person you want to send for training?"
"Captain, everything has been chosen!"
"Okay, wait until I leave. Listen to the political commissar, do you hear me?"
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Okay, remember to cover me! I leave it to you, Dabiao!"
"Yes, leader!"
…
"Stand at attention! Take a break! I'm telling you, this time, you are going to the independent division to receive special training. You have learned your skills and come back from me. Do you hear me?"
"yes!"
"Today, the Japanese are still occupying a large area of our land, and we haven't relaxed yet! When the time comes, you will also rank your own results. The bottom 10 people will wait and see when they come back."
"yes!"
Li Chang, who was standing in the crowd, rolled his eyes. This stupid Kong Er was just holding a chicken feather as an arrow and kept talking for a long time. This time, he was dressed up and pretended to be an ordinary soldier. However,
He also had to be careful, otherwise it would be bad if he was discovered.
"Okay, let's go! Remember, we must reach Laiyang and the independent division safely! Of course, we must also protect the people and not violate discipline!"
"yes!"
"Set off!"
There were 150 people in the group, so they lined up neatly and started to set off.
Li Chang stood in the middle, not attracting attention. His escape plan this time was very successful, "Hey, Kong Er and Ding, bye bye!"
Li Chang would not have known that when his team finally reached the Independent Division, only two-thirds of them were left.

Liu Yuan received the telegram and told them that the personnel Li Chang and the others had agreed with Zhou Weiguo to help train the soldiers of the special force had already set off.
"Hey, some people stick to their old roots and don't know how to make progress. Sooner or later, they will be replaced." Li Weimin sighed, indicating something.
"What can we do? We can't change his mind, we can only do our best. Qingzhou and Dongying have just been taken back, so we must pay attention to everything. Although this time it went smoothly, there will be many nails left by the Japanese."
Liu Yuandao said, "Chen Wu, you should investigate this aspect carefully."
"yes!"
…
"The superiors ordered us to go to Laiwu and meet with the brigade commander." Fengguang Saburo handed the telegram to everyone and said.
