Zhou Cheng was right. The Japanese army had planes and heavy artillery that had not been on the battlefield, so no one knew whether the next battle would occur.

If it appears, the troops guarding the castle will not even have a chance to retreat and will be torn into pieces by air bombs.

The National Salvation Army has taken advantage of the Japanese twice based on the castle, and should be stopped in moderation. Regardless of whether the Japanese army will dispatch planes and heavy artillery, they should be treated with caution and should not take risks with the lives of the soldiers.

But Yuan Shushan has already forced himself into a desperate situation. If he let go and retreats now, he will definitely become a laughing stock of the national rescue army. It will definitely be very difficult to establish prestige.

So he could only walk one way to the black and continue to with Zhou Cheng.

"Airplanes and heavy artillery! This is impossible. We are just a local army. Commander. Do you think the Japanese will use heavy artillery and planes on us?"

"The Japanese army on the front line rarely uses aircraft and heavy artillery as one of our main divisions, let alone a local unit, so the Japanese will definitely not dispatch aircraft and heavy artillery to deal with us. You are too worried about it, regiment commander."

Zhou Cheng was almost unable to suppress his anger, and he had already expressed his reasons. Yuan Shushan still bit his own point of view and refused to let go. This was too ignorant of the times.

Since Yuan Shushan is so ignorant and wants to fight for power with him to the end, he doesn't mind seizing this opportunity and slapping him hard once and giving him a heavy lesson.

He snorted coldly and asked, "It seems that Deputy Commander Yuan doesn't look down on us to pacify the National Rescue Army! Don't forget that you are the Deputy Commander of the National Rescue Army. If you belittle your troops in this way, you will not be afraid of the soldiers below being disheartened."

"The reason why the National Salvation Army can make the Japanese hate it to the core and win multiple awards in the war zone is that the soldiers fought with their lives with their swords and guns. How can you underestimate our National Salvation Army like this!"

Zhou Cheng's words were too ruthless. After listening to them, not only did the cadres who supported Zhou Cheng show dissatisfaction with Yuan Shushan, but those cadres who had a good impression of Yuan Shushan also became dissatisfied with the former National Rescue Army.

The National Salvation Army has made a contribution to their achievements today. Yuan Shushan said this and denied their contribution.

"You..." Yuan Shushan was a little scared. The regiment commander wanted to force himself to the opposition side of the National Salvation Army.

If you admit that you are the enemy of the entire National Salvation Army, not to mention fighting for power and profit, even gaining a foothold is a problem.

Cold sweat kept coming out from his back. If he took off his military uniform, everyone could see that the shirt Yuan Shushan was wearing was soaked in sweat.

I quickly explained: "Captain, I have no intention of belittling the National Salvation Army. I am just stating a fact."

"On the front battlefield, the Japanese army rarely used aircraft and heavy artillery when attacking one of our main divisions. In terms of overall strength, our National Salvation Army is definitely not as good as a main division on the front line, so it is even more impossible for the Japanese to use precious heavy artillery and aircraft on us!"

Zhou Cheng shook his head and denied: "No, you said it wrong! In the eyes of the Japanese, our threat is far more than an ordinary main force on the front line."

"Everyone knows that the main force of the Japanese army who attacked us this time was transferred from Yangquan. The Japanese commander was also the commander of the major general brigade who came from Yangquan. Now he is opposite us."

"Deputy Commander Yuan, you came from the war zone and are very familiar with the situation in the war zone. Then tell me: When the Japanese army attacked the war zone, was there any main division that forced the Japanese major general brigade commander to go to the battlefield in person?"

"This..." Yuan Shushan couldn't say it anymore, and was so anxious that he began to sweat coldly on his forehead, racking his brains to think about solutions.

Li Honghui also joined the National Salvation Army with an unknown purpose. Now that he has realized the reality, he has to surrender, and then slowly wins Zhou Cheng's trust and has some rights within the National Salvation Army.

At this time, another deputy commander was sent to the war zone. Although both sides belonged to different departments, his arrival would definitely separate his own rights, so Li Honghui didn't like him from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Yuan Shushan was defeated by Zhou Cheng, Li Honghui saw an opportunity to drive Yuan Shushan away from the National Salvation Army and decided to step on the spot: "Captain, although I am not in the Second World War Zone, I have some sources of intelligence."

"Most of the main divisions of the Japanese offensive theater were led by the corps captains, and only a few main divisions with particularly strong combat power were led by the brigade commander."

"Our National Rescue Army has repeatedly severely damaged the Japanese and puppet troops, forcing the Japanese brigade commander to lead troops to attack us personally. From this point of view, our threat in the eyes of the Japanese is indeed beyond many main divisions on the frontline."

"The Japanese even dispatched the Major General Brigade Commander. It was not surprising that they dispatched the planes in the next battle. Moreover, in order to deal with us, the Japanese had dispatched the planes twice. Today, they suffered two losses on our machine gun castle. I think they had at least 80% chance of dispatching the planes to bomb our positions!"

Yuan Shushan lowered his head in pain. He was defeated and replied in a heavy tone: "Captain, you may be right. I agree to withdraw the troops!"

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly and replied: "I am the commander of the National Salvation Army, and it's not your turn to speak!"

"Whether you agree or not, the order to withdraw troops must be executed unconditionally."

As the saying goes, the king is successful and the enemy is defeated. Since Yuan Shushan is defeated, he can only let Zhou Cheng deal with it. After listening to Zhou Cheng's words just now, although he was very dissatisfied and frustrated, he could only listen honestly.

The episode of the front enemy command came quickly and ended quickly.

After Yuan Shushan was defeated, several swaying officers immediately cheered up and looked at Zhou Cheng with a clear look of awe.

After the battle just now, Yuan Shushan will definitely not be able to rise in a short period of time. If they are still restless and obey orders, and fight the Japanese, they will be the next one to be dealt with.

In the next half hour, the Japanese army did not launch an attack, and the battlefield that was lively for an hour suddenly became particularly quiet.

As the saying goes, the quieter the pre-war, the greater the conspiracy the opponent is brewing.

At this time, Zhou Cheng became increasingly sure that the Japanese would transfer planes to participate in the battle. If the Japanese did not attack, they would have more time to relocate their positions and defenses, which would definitely be detrimental to their next attack.

But the Japanese did this, which means that they have a trump card in their hands that can instantly destroy their arrangements.

The only trump card Zhou Cheng can think of is the airplane.

When an aviation bomb comes down, even the most powerful machine gun castle will be razed to the ground, the anti-cannon hole will become vulnerable, and the soldiers will still be killed when they hide inside.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng decisively ordered: "Retreat all the remaining troops on the second and third lines of defense, and the troops are ready to take big steps and retreat directly into the mountain!"

Seeing Zhou Cheng's expression on his face was particularly serious, Tang Yufeng knew that this decision must have been decided after careful consideration by the regiment commander, and immediately took the order: "I will arrange for the troops to retreat now."

"Where is the radio operator!" Zhou Cheng continued to order.

"Come!" Xue Ya ran to Zhou Cheng in a straight military uniform.

This was the second time he had stood in front of Zhou Cheng at such a close distance since joining the National Salvation Army.

Although both of them stayed in the headquarters, Zhou Cheng deliberately avoided her no matter what he did. If he had a task, he would arrange her if he could. Therefore, the two sides had basically no intersection, and Zhou Cheng didn't want to have any intersection with her.

But I have to admit that Xue Yayuan is a big beauty. After wearing her straight military uniform, she better sets off her already good figure.

If it weren't for her special mission, Zhou Cheng would have really thought of chasing her.

But when he thought that she joined the National Salvation Army to monitor herself and seize power with her, Zhou Cheng's appreciation for her immediately turned into disgust.

Shaking his head, throwing these messy thoughts away, and a very serious order: "Send a telegram to the Chief of Staff immediately. The Japanese are likely to dispatch planes to attack us. The troops must be prepared for air defense!"

"The Second Battalion decided to give up the positions outside the mountain in advance and continue to fight the Japanese after entering the mountain. The First Battalion will determine whether the troops will be fought or withdrawn, and he will be in full command."

"Yes! Leader!"

After handing over the written message to Zhou Cheng for signature, Xue Ya did not even reply and walked directly to the radio station next to her.

She could see clearly the disgust expression that flashed on Zhou Cheng's face.

She was able to become a second-level telegrapher because of her excellent grades during her studies. Although the tasks she is now performing are a bit shameful, she is a soldier and her superiors must obey the orders. If Zhou Cheng has any dissatisfaction, he can go to the war zone, what does it have to do with her, and why do he hate her so much?

Xue Ya is also a proud person and will not use her hot face to stick Zhou Cheng's cold butt.

Zhou Cheng was confused by Xue Ya's decisive departure.

Didn’t he come to monitor himself? How dare he shy his face at himself? She was not afraid that she would transfer her from the headquarters in anger? Although she was sent from the war zone and held the Shangfang sword, as long as she did not drive her away from the National Salvation Army, she still had the right to stay away from her.

She was particularly surprised by her reaction, but she didn't take this matter seriously. The military situation was urgent and she didn't have the time or energy to think about these problems.

"Buzz buzz..." The sudden roar of the engine suddenly rang in the air, and slowly spread from far to near to Zhou Cheng's ears.

Everyone, including Zhou Cheng, rushed out of the command center as soon as possible and looked at the sky with their heads raised.

In the direction where the sound came, two black dots slowly appeared on the edge of the sky.

As time passed by, the black dots became larger and larger, and finally turned into two silver-white fighter jets.

At this time, the roar of "buzzing..." had become deafening, and the two planes also drove over everyone's heads and began to hover over the battlefield.

Everyone's faces showed shocked expressions because of the arrival of the plane, and they looked at Zhou Cheng and Yuan Shushan from time to time.

The look at Zhou Cheng not only increased a bit of awe, but also increased admiration from the bottom of his heart.

He was so amazing that he said that the plane came over and it would come, including Xue Ya.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the look of Zhou Cheng looking at him, he had to admit that he was still very good at fighting the Japanese.

The eyes of Yuan Shushan were filled with sarcasm.

I just swear that the Japanese could not send planes to attack the National Savior Army, but now the Japanese slapped him hard with the facts!
