After scolding him, he stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "How long can the food supplies in Commander Zhang's hands last?"
"At least half a month!" the chief of staff replied.
"Originally, there were only ten days of food supplies, but because one of the main divisions was attacked and killed by the Japanese, more than half of them were killed, and then there was a lot of extra food supplies!"
Chief Yan's mood became even worse. He frowned and cursed: "The Japanese are not good people either!"
"The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese all want to get benefits from my Jinsui Army. Sooner or later, I will make them pay back twice as much!"
"Chief of Staff, order the logistics department to immediately raise two months of supplies for Commander Zhang and his companions, and deliver them to Linfen City within half a month!"
"At the same time, two more independent divisions will be deployed to reinforce Linfen City, and they will be put under the command of Commander Zhang!"
"Linfen City is just our first target to control southwestern Shanxi."
"Tell Commander Zhang that once the time is right, immediately send troops to occupy several counties around Linfen City. Garrison a main force regiment in each county to completely control these counties and expel the Eighth Route Army from this area!"
The chief of staff hesitated and reminded: "They will definitely not leave these counties so easily!"
"And we can't use force to drive them away from those places. It must be very difficult to do this!"
Chief Yan cursed angrily: "The Eighth Route Army is a human being! A human being must eat, right?"
"You need food to eat. As long as we cut off their food source, I don't believe they will stay there and not leave!"
"When the troops went to Linfen, they brought more civil affairs officials with them. The Japanese took a look and found that the government systems in those places were directly devastated, and the Japanese also established a puppet government."
"After the Eighth Route Army occupied that place, they established the so-called anti-Japanese government..."
"In my opinion, whether it is a puppet government or an anti-Japanese democratic government, it is illegal. Only the Shanxi Provincial Government established by officials appointed by me personally is legal!"
"When the army takes control of those county towns, it will immediately establish county governments!"
"Old man, I believe that we Shanxi people still believe in me, Mr. Yan, and believe in the government established by us Shanxi people!"
"As long as our government controls the people and taxes, the Eighth Route Army that loses the support of the people will become a lonely army. It will either retreat or disband, and there will be no other way to survive!"
The chief of staff smiled and complimented with excitement: "The commander is wise, and I will arrange the humble post immediately!"
Fengxing Town is the station of the Jinsui Army. A regiment of the Jinsui Army is stationed here.
After nearly half a month of renovation, the original Japanese and puppet army garrison in Zhendong near the highway has been completely renovated.
Not only did the area double, they also dug a deep trench two meters deep and three meters wide around the camp.
Although there is no water in it, for ordinary troops who want to rush into the station through a storm, the deep trench is still a difficult hurdle to overcome!
Not to mention the deep trench, the Jinsui Army also built more than 20 machine gun fire points of various sizes inside the deep trench.
With the powerful interception firepower and the obstruction from behind, Nuo Da's station was directly turned into an indestructible fortress by the Jinsui Army.
The darkness that shrouded the station slowly dissipated, and the Jinsui Army patrolling around the station was slowly exposed.
However, there was still no movement inside the station.
Except for the smoke that began to rise from the cooking squad barracks, both officers and ordinary soldiers were still asleep.
"Dududu..."
Suddenly, a loud trumpet sounded outside the station.
The patrolling and vigilant Jinsui troops were startled and immediately rushed into the nearest position to prepare for battle.
Although it was almost dawn, the sky was still gray and only a few dozen meters away could be seen.
What the Jinsui Army did not expect was that not only did they not receive an enemy attack, they instead heard the slogans produced by the troops during training.
"What's going on!" The regiment leader, who only put on a military coat and returned to the position, asked eagerly.
"Hello, regiment, I still don't know...it seems like someone is training outside our station!" the company commander on duty reported for a moment, stunned.
The regiment leader's brows suddenly wrinkled: "It must be the Eighth Route Army!"
"Send someone over immediately to check and find out what the situation is!"
The scouts who went out have not returned yet, and the regiment leader has already used the telescope to see clearly what is happening on the other side of the road.
On the wasteland two to three hundred meters away from the road and more than 500 meters away from where I was stationed, more than a thousand Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appeared overnight!
Half of the troops are setting up barracks and half are training.
Even though he was far away, he couldn't see clearly even with a telescope.
But the loud shouts of killing made him vaguely feel that these soldiers were not ordinary soldiers.
The regiment leader roughly counted and found that the Eighth Route Army unit closest to him had less than 200 troops and should be a company.
But their shouts of killing were louder than the more than 500 people in his own battalion, and they were full of murderous intent!
In addition to the murderous intent, what shocked the regiment leader the most was the equipment of this Eighth Route Army unit.
They were neatly dressed in military uniforms, with armed belts tied around their waists. Everyone had a rifle on their shoulders, and they were all wearing 38 caps!
At this time, the chief of staff next to him couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tuanzuo, is this still the Eighth Route Army we know?"
"An infantry company not only has one rifle, but also several submachine guns, five light machine guns, and three little devil's grenades!"
"Isn't the Eighth Route Army all beggar troops? When did the equipment become so good!"
At this moment, the group leader suddenly saw something, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Look inside the military camp!"
"There are actually six heavy machine guns in the northeast corner!"
"There are also three mortars, two little Japanese infantry guns, and six mountain cannons in the middle of the military camp!"
"What kind of Eighth Route Army is this? It only has about a thousand soldiers, but it has more heavy weapons than our entire regiment!"
"Our regiment is considered the main regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. The entire regiment only has nine mortars in total, and no infantry cannon or mountain cannon!"
Just then, the company commander who went out to conduct reconnaissance came back with a very ugly look on his face.
"Regiment leader, I asked clearly. They are the troops of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but they refuse to disclose the specific number and organization!"
"They also said that they were ordered to station there. From now on, that will be their station, and they will never move without orders from their superiors!"
Just as the regiment commander was about to get angry, the chief of staff next to him had already shouted: "Regiment commander, look at their artillery station!"
"All the artillery is pointed at us. What do they want to do? Are they going to attack us?"
"hiss……"
The leader first took a breath, and then his face turned pale.
Three mortars, two infantry guns, and six mountain cannons, all with their muzzles pointed at themselves!
The six heavy machine guns we just saw are also moving towards the road!
Although he knew that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to fire artillery, the regiment commander still felt scared.
Half of his regiment is composed of newly recruited soldiers. Once such a powerful artillery fires on him, even if he is protected by a station, the entire regiment will suffer heavy losses. It may even collapse on the spot after being bombed and directly lose its combat effectiveness!
After shaking his head to keep himself calm, he stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "This matter must be reported to the military immediately... You stay here and keep an eye on it, send someone to continue negotiating with them, and be sure to understand their purpose!"
