One-third of the occupied areas were stolen by the Eighth Route Army, which means that the brigade will collect one-third less food this year.

If more than 7 million kilograms of grain stolen by the National Salvation Army were reduced, the brigade would have collected less than 13 million kilograms of grain, and even the grain collection task indicators issued by the Front Command to the brigade could not be completed.

If the headquarters knew that it had returned from the attack on the Eighth Route Army and was defeated, the Guanghuang Army would have lost more than 3,000 people, and almost half of the entire mixed brigade was injured and half, and it would be impossible for it to remain in the position of brigade commander if it was strong.

In less than a day, the Front Army Command issued a transfer order: the brigade commander was indeed transferred to the headquarters for another appointment. The new brigade commander took office tomorrow. There were 2,000 new recruits and a field infantry corps, and more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers took the train to Yangquan.

After knowing the losses of Yangquan Mixed Brigade, the Front Army Headquarters was also frightened by the strong combat effectiveness of the Punishment and the Eighth Route Army and the surrounding Eighth Route Army. They decided to dispatch heavy troops to eliminate this powerful enemy in the bud and not give them a chance to grow and grow.

Honda is a small number of newly appointed brigade commanders, from the front-line field troops, and has just been promoted from the rank of colonel to major general.

Among the more than 6,000 people who came with him in Yangquan, except for two thousand new recruits, the remaining more than 4,000 were his old troops, with three full-scale infantry brigades, one mountain artillery squadron, one large-caliber mortar squadron, one chariot squadron, one cavalry brigade, one cavalry brigade, one baggage brigade, and one guard...

Major General Honda is a general who particularly advocates offense.

On the front battlefield, the infantry corps he commanded have always been known for fighting tough battles and have hardly encountered opponents.

With his military achievements, he was promoted from the commander of the regiment to the brigade commander in less than a year, and was noticed by the commander of the front line, allowing him to continue to carry forward the style of rivalry on the front battlefield, and went to Yangquan to serve as the commander of the brigade, and took down the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army that were active in the local area.

This matter is currently limited to several senior executives of the Japanese military brigade command. The Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army that were active nearby were not aware that the Japanese army had changed their generals, and a strong enemy had also come.

The Chief of Staff hurriedly ran in at the Eighth Route Army Division deep in the Taihang Mountains, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Teacher Commander, Political Commissar, good news, great news!"

"We were active near Yangquan and fought a great victory with the cooperation of the National Salvation Army. We not only successfully repelled the Japanese and puppet troops' attacks? We also fought a large counterattack of the Japanese and Japanese soldiers? We destroyed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers and nearly 4,000 puppet troops? The prisoners alone captured more than 2,000 people? The captured weapons and ammunition were enough for them to expand two to three regiments!"

"Because the Japanese mixed brigade stationed in Yangquan was killed by us, and more than 1,000 people were killed by the pacification and national rescue army? Almost half of the casualties, the remaining troops could no longer defend such a large occupied area? Our troops took the opportunity to enter the enemy-occupied area? Not only did they successfully recover all the base areas they had lost before, but they also occupied a large area of ​​enemy-occupied areas, doubled the base areas."

"There is also food. The Japanese and puppet troops had just collected autumn grain from the enemy-occupied areas? But they had not had time to send it to the county town? As a result, all of these foods were cheaper."

"The reduction of what is returned to the common people, and the seized of local traitors, each army has harvested a total of 4.5 million kilograms of grain, plus the public grain that their respective bases can collect. This year, they can harvest at least 7 million kilograms of grain? It's enough for their existing troops to eat for two years!"

The division commander and political commissar were both stunned by the news.

If more than 2,000 Japanese devils and nearly 4,000 puppet troops were killed in one battle, can annihilate the number of enemies be considered a great victory? Not to mention the irritability of the two or three regiments and more than 4 million kilograms of grain.

I quickly took the battle report and browsed it carefully, and then the shock on the faces of the two people was replaced by excitement.

"Teacher Commander? Judging from the battle report, the reason why we have achieved such great results? The National Salvation Army played a very important role in it!" The political commissar made a sharp analysis.

The division commander nodded: "If the National Salvation Army did not launch an attack at the appropriate time? Will the Japanese and puppet troops retreat? We will not be able to win such a big battle, and maybe there will be troops destroyed by the Japanese."

"Now it seems that we had made the right move to support the National Salvation Army, which also proved that Comrade Zhou Cheng had a very good vision. Without the order of the division headquarters, he took the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops at critical moments, which not only helped the Eighth Route Army in trouble, but also fought the Japanese counterattack."

"I think this cooperation model is very good. When the National Salvation Army was attacked by the Japanese mixed brigade, the nearby Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack the enemy-occupied area, and by dragging the Japanese back, destroying their base camp, forcing the Japanese to divide their troops back to the rear, reducing the defensive pressure of the National Salvation Army."

"This time the Eighth Route Army was attacked. The National Salvation Army took the initiative to attack the enemy-occupied areas, forcing the Japanese to retreat, and let the Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese a big counterattack."

"Because both sides did not directly send troops to reinforce each other, everything was going on in secret. If the war zone really wanted to find trouble for the national rescue army, Comrade Zhou Cheng could use the word coincidence as an excuse."

"The two sides support each other, and continue to grow and grow. As long as there is no big accident, it will take no long to compress the Japanese mixed brigade into several county towns."

"Isn't Staff General Zheng being asked by Comrade Zhou Cheng to be the deputy commander of the National Salvation Army, and he is also the deputy commander who specializes in intelligence?"

"Just directly give orders to Comrade Zhou Cheng and several independent regiments near the National Salvation Army to establish direct contact, and by the way, tell the leader and political commissar of these independent regiments that the National Salvation Army is a trustworthy friendly army, let them cooperate with each other, learn from each other, and fight the Japanese together in Yangquan."

The political commissar immediately agreed: "Not only that, we must also vigorously support the National Saving Army to ensure that the National Saving Army is firmly in our hands."

"I remember Staff General Zheng told me that the National Salvation Army has always lacked political cadres. Now the troops have expanded a main battalion and a new battalion of more than 1,000 people, so there must be even more shortage of qualified political cadres."

"Comrade Zhou Cheng did not want to add burden to the division headquarters and had never spoken out. Since he wanted to vigorously support the National Salvation Army, I would like to transfer three instructors and six deputy instructors from the division headquarters to support the National Salvation Army."

The division commander thought for a while and replied: "Add a few more workers we recruited from the Taiyuan Arsenal."

"Last time Comrade Zhou Cheng asked us how many military-industrial talents we asked for, I think he must have some ideas on military-industrial."

"The development force is so powerful that it has created so many miracles for us in less than a year. The development of military industry will definitely not be bad. I think we can support it, and maybe another unexpected gain will occur."

The political commissar nodded: "Teacher, I'm looking forward to it!"

"The division headquarters does have several military-working talents sent by the underground party. They are all workers from the Taiyuan Arsenal. Because we don't have a regular arsenal, we can only temporarily aggrieved them to help repair guns in the machinery repair center. This is too insignificant. Since the national rescue army needs it, let's send it to Comrade Zhou Cheng."
