After figuring out what happened outside the mountain, Zhou Cheng's expression became obviously relaxed.

After staring at the map for two minutes, I analyzed: "Old Tang, Deputy Chief of Staff Li, come and see the map!"

"After the Japanese supply line was cut off, the shells they used were not replenished. Without shells, the Japanese in Donghui Town would definitely not dare to go into the mountains to chase us."

"This means that the longer the Japanese logistics supply line is cut off, the longer they will stay in Donghui Town!"

"If we can use this time, it might be a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory!"

Tang Yufeng knows Zhou Cheng best, and he understands the implicit meaning in Zhou Cheng's words as soon as he hears it: "Captain, you want to take the initiative to attack while the Japanese are trapped in Donghui Town!"

Seeing Zhou Cheng nodding in agreement, Li Honghui expressed different opinions: "Captain, I think it's too risky to take the initiative!"

"The Japanese will not watch their logistics supply line be cut off, and they will definitely find a way to recover. The distance between the county and Donghui Town is close. Perhaps the Japanese in Donghui Town will be able to replenish ammunition this night. In this way, even if we attack now, we will not do anything in one night. If the operations outside the mountain are exposed and the troops are blocked by the Japanese, it would be too dangerous."

Li Honghui's words were very reasonable. Tang Yufeng nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and then his brows frowned into the character "Shizawa". He looked at Zhou Cheng and replied: "Captain, I think Deputy Chief of Staff Li's analysis is correct. It is too dangerous to attack rashly. It is better to wait in the mountains for the Japanese to come to him!"

"But being beaten passively is not our style. If the troops are too dangerous, we will send a company out to find a way to harass the Japanese who stayed in Donghui Town."

"We are familiar with the terrain there, and with the cover of night, we will definitely beat the Japanese around!"

Li Honghui was moved and looked at Tang Yufeng and replied in admiration: "I agree to send a company out to harass the Japanese. Other troops are on standby in the mountains. If something happens to the attacking troops, the troops left in the mountains can still go out to respond, so that the entire operation can be ensured to the greatest extent possible!"

Zhou Cheng kept smiling and said nothing. After they finished speaking, he said, "I still have the opinion I just said. If you want to attack, all the main forces will come out and have a big fight with the Japanese."

"This is an excellent opportunity for us to turn defeat into victory. If we miss it, the attack will only be left in the mountains to fight the attrition with the Japanese."

"Although I believe that the final winner is definitely us, it takes too long and there will be a huge price. Compared with the two, I would rather lead the team out and fight!"

Seeing that Zhou Chengyi has made a decision, Li Honghui, as a person who cannot be completely trusted by the group leader, will definitely not be able to continue persuading him. He looks at Tang Yufeng decisively, hoping that he can persuade Zhou Cheng to stop this risky behavior.

Tang Yufeng understood Li Honghui's meaning and immediately reminded: "Captain, in addition to being easy to be exposed, I am also afraid that time is too short and not enough!"

"If the Japanese in Donghui Town get ammunition supplies tonight, they will definitely go into the mountains to chase us early tomorrow morning. Even if we can do all our main forces, we will not be able to fight any big battle in one night?"

"Instead of letting the troops go back and forth and exhausted after dawn, it is better to stay in the mountains to accumulate energy and wait until tomorrow to give the Japanese invaders a head-on attack."

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Don't worry, the attack will definitely last more than one night, and this is also a question I will discuss with you next."

"No surprise: the Japanese in Donghui Town could not receive ammunition supplies from the county town within two days!"

"This is impossible!"

Tang Yufeng's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. Li Honghui also showed a suspicious expression and looked at Zhou Cheng and asked: "There are more than 20 kilometers away from the county town in Donghui Town. Although there are Eighth Route Army guerrillas blocking the road in the middle, as long as the Japanese sent enough escort troops, the guerrillas will not do anything to them. They will definitely be able to send ammunition supplies safely to Donghui Town."

Zhou Cheng refused to say anything: "Yes, if the Japanese sent heavy troops, they could indeed send ammunition supplies safely to Donghui Town, but the key to the problem is that the heavy troops could no longer be sent to the county seat."

"Not only them, the Japanese and puppet troops who were stationed in Donghui Town, and the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked Zhangzhuang Town, could not send troops."

"Company Commander Tang reported that the guerrillas fought two ambushes in one day. The first ambush killed more than 20 Japanese devils, the second ambush killed more than 100 Japanese devils, and the two ambush also captured a large number of puppet troops, indicating that the guerrillas already have the ability to eat a Japanese infantry squadron in a short period of time."

"The Japanese and puppet troops attacking Zhangzhuang Town seem to be a lot, but the puppet troops account for the majority, which leads to their overall combat effectiveness. If they want to pose a threat to the guerrillas and have the ability to protect themselves, they have to send at least 500 people, including half of the Japanese."

"If the Japanese army really did this, there would be few troops left in Zhangzhuang Town, which would give the Chief of Staff a chance to defeat them one by one, so the Japanese and puppet troops there would definitely not dare to divide the troops rashly."

"Look at the Japanese who were parked in Donghui Town, although they still had more than 1,000 people, one-third of them were artillery and baggage troops, and the real combat troops had only more than 600."

"There are too few squadrons to be divided into one squadron. Any accident may cause them to enter the tiger's mouth. If they are divided into two squadrons, the remaining troops will not be able to pose a threat to us. If we are severely injured by us, the ammunition supply will be in Donghui Town. The Japanese will not have the strength to attack us."

"Not to mention the county town, after losing hundreds of people in a row, no one can send troops or soldiers to send ammunition to Donghui Town, unless the Japanese don't want the county town to destroy us, this is obviously impossible."

The more Li Honghui listened, the more shocked he became. The leader analyzed it so well. As he listened, the worry on his face began to disappear, and then he continued to think along with Zhou Cheng's thoughts.

Seeing the regiment commander suddenly stopped, he immediately said: "If the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangzhuang Town and the county town have no soldiers available. If the Japanese want to restore their logistics supply line, they can only transfer troops from Yangquan, which is closest to us, and there are troops to be adjusted!"

Zhou Cheng looked at Li Honghui with a hint of appreciation: "The fastest transfer of troops from Yangquan to the railway is to be reached in one hour."

"But the two guerrillas that are active between the county town and Donghui Town are not vegetarians and have poor equipment. No one can compare to them when fighting guerrillas and mobile warfare. I will order them to hold back the Japanese and puppet troops as the commander of the National Salvation Army and continue to cut off the Japanese army's logistics supply line."

"As long as they can hold on for two days, I will be confident that I will fight a counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountain and will severely damage them!"

Li Honghui was persuaded by Zhou Cheng, and his eyes lit up and replied: "Captain, I think this method is feasible now. How do you want to fight?"

Zhou Cheng quickly sorted out the ideas in his mind, and then ordered: "Travel in three parts: the first step, all the reconnaissance companies were dispatched to find these two guerrillas and ordered them to continue to prevent the county from transporting ammunition supplies to Donghui Town. A bullet was not allowed to be sent to Donghui Town within two days."

"Second step: The new recruit battalion stayed in the mountains, and the Ninth Company strengthened a heavy machine gun and a mortar, took the initiative to attack, and sneaked into the Japanese devils parked in Zhangzhuang Town, making them feel that our main force of the National Salvation Army is still here."

"Fourth Company, Fifth Company, Guard Company, Cavalry Company, Packet Company, Chariot Platoon, and the remaining artillery of the artillery company come with me to reinforce Zhangzhuang Town."

"Pick up the persimmons and pinch them. Let's first work with the Chief of Staff to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangzhuang Town, and then turn around and clean up the Japanese in Donghui Town."

"Old Tang, Deputy Commander Yuan, Deputy Chief of Staff Li stayed here, I will lead the reinforcements!"

The Japanese Army Command of Donghui Town, after dinner, the brigade commander was not sleepy at all. He stood in front of the map to study the topographic map between the county town and Donghui Town.

More than 20 kilometers are not far away, and not near. There are a large number of hills and mountains along the official road. A few hundred troops hide in the ravine. Unless the Japanese army sends troops to conduct a network-style search, it will be difficult to find them.

The brigade commander now has an idea to find the mysterious enemies of the sneak attack transport team as soon as possible, kill them, and restore the supply line between the county town and Donghui Town.

Time passed by seconds, and the brigade commander drew circles all the places on the map where people could hide, a total of fifteen.

Put down the pencil and order the Chief of Staff: "Send someone to send this map to the reinforcements coming from Yangquan, so that they can search the locations marked by me on the map as quickly as possible, and 80% of the enemies who ambush the transported transport are hidden in these places."

"But one thing must be remembered that the troops must not be divided when searching."

"This enemy has the ability to wipe out one of our infantry squadrons. If they rashly divide the troops, they will definitely defeat them one by one!"

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff quickly took the order.

A few minutes later, five cavalrymen rushed out of Donghui Town with maps.

"Dadada..."

The brigade commander who had done this big thing just sat down and before his butt was warmed up, a string of guns rang out outside the town.

His brows frowned unconsciously, but he did not get angry.

Because he guessed in the afternoon that the National Salvation Army would not miss the opportunity to attack him at night tonight, his subordinates had already prepared for this.

All the left-behind troops lived in the town. If the National Salvation Army used gunfire like last night, the casualties would be greatly reduced, and the houses in the town would also be razed to the ground by artillery fire. Then they would not be able to give an explanation to the people, so they would most likely not use mortars tonight.

As long as there is no artillery, the National Salvation Army's sneak attack troops can only make small fuss outside the town, and cannot threaten the safety of the main force.

With this idea, the brigade commander's frown just now stretched out: he believed that the patrol and guard troops outside the town could protect the safety of the garrison and fight back the sneak attack troops of the National Rescue Army.

Lying on the chair, I closed my eyes and rested, thinking back and forth whether there were any loopholes in my arrangement.

Five minutes later, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded at the door, and then a cavalry with blood rushed in, with a panic report on his face: "Sir, when we left the town to deliver the map, we were intercepted by the National Savior Army. They were equipped with three machine guns, one of which was a heavy machine gun. The four cavalry among us were killed on the spot, and I was the only one who was shot and dropped. I ran back with two legs. You must avenge the cavalry warriors who died in battle!"

"Nani?" The brigade commander stood up from his seat.

My face paused, and I thought of a loophole that I hadn't thought about for a long time.

Although the National Salvation Army cannot threaten the imperial army in the town without using artillery, it can lie outside the town and ambush the troops they sent out.

I didn't expect this just now, but the five cavalrymen were severely injured as soon as they went out.

If I were more cautious just now and sent telegrams to the reinforcements through the radio station, the few cavalry would not have to die.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. The brigade commander could only suppress his anger in his heart and ordered dissatisfaction: "Telect to the reinforcements directly and use radio to inform the enemy where they might be hiding."

"From now on, no one can leave the town without my orders, and the violators will engage in military law!"
