The results of the four main battalions of Xiyang County's National Salvation Army have been summarized here one after another.

Deputy Commander Tang Yufeng was in a state of grief and joy, and with the battle losses and results he had just counted, he was both surprised and heartbroken: "Captain, our four main battalions fought ten ambush battles yesterday, plus cold guns, cold cannons and landmines killed, we wiped out more than 900 Japanese devils and seized a large number of weapons and equipment!"

"But our losses were also great, especially at the beginning of the fight, the Japanese did not understand us, nor did we understand them, and they treated them as garrisons. As a result, they were far underestimated their combat effectiveness. After suffering losses, they adjusted their tactics and tactics, and then turned defeat into victory and took the initiative in the battlefield."

"We sacrificed a total of 438 people and seriously injured 36 people throughout the attack."

"I was shocked when I saw this result. The proportion of soldiers sacrificed too high, and there were almost no serious injuries. For this reason, I went to the Third Battalion to take a look."

"In previous battles, the 38th Great Cover was strong in penetration. As long as it was not hit to a fatal position, it basically penetrated two holes at one time. As long as the wound was controlled, most of the soldiers could survive."

"Yesterday, the gunman's gunman's gunshots were simply weird. Not only did they shoot accurately, they bite the flesh, but they also stared at the soldiers' heads. Among the soldiers who died in the third battalion, more than 50% of the soldiers were shot in the middle of the eyebrows and were shot by the Japanese riflemen. About 30% of the soldiers were killed by grenades and grenades, and less than 20% of the soldiers died in the Japanese light and heavy machine gunmen."

Speaking of this, a hint of gratitude suddenly flashed on Tang Yufeng's face: "This unit is much more powerful than the garrison team we encountered before. Not only are the soldiers' shooting skills better, but their ability to adapt and cooperate on the battlefield are also very powerful."

"Fortunately, Commander, you asked us to take the initiative to attack, and to severely damage the Japanese when they didn't understand us and weaken their strength. If they wait until they are fully familiar with our tactics and tactics before fighting, it will be difficult to destroy nearly a thousand of them like now."

Zhou Cheng's expression was very serious, and he could not tell at all about the joy after winning the battle, and he was even a little solemn.

The results of nearly a thousand people were completely within his expectations. After all, the National Salvation Army dispatched four main battalions, one artillery battalion? Two direct companies? One cavalry company, a total of more than 3,000 people.

But the casualties of the attacking troops were far beyond their expectations.

Although the Japanese army dispatched a field infantry regiment? But the Eighth Route Army divided half of its troops? The National Salvation Army was about to face only 2,000 Japanese soldiers.

This means that the military strength advantage on the battlefield is all on our own side? In addition, the national rescue army also has the advantage of time and place, so the troops should be able to defeat their opponents easily? I never expected that they would still pay such a big price.

It can be seen that the Japanese field troops are indeed very powerful? Deputy Commander Tang’s introduction just now is not exaggerated at all.

I immediately asked: "In addition to the seriously injured, we lost nearly 500 people and almost lost three infantry companies. How did the regiment headquarters plan to make up for these vacancies?"

Tang Yufeng was prepared: "Last time to attack the occupied area? We not only seized a large amount of supplies and food? We also captured thousands of prisoners."

"After mobilization, more than 700 prisoners have voluntarily requested to join the National Salvation Army and are undergoing training in the recruit battalion. I plan to supplement the troops and weaken the impact of the recruits on the overall combat effectiveness of the troops as much as possible."

"No problem!" Zhou Cheng agreed with the answer.

Then he turned his attention to Chen Zhengyu: "Chief of Staff? After yesterday's defeat, what's the Japanese today?"

"If we dare to leave the county town and sweep the occupied area? Our troops must continue to work hard and kill hundreds more people? The field infantry corps are directly destroyed!"

Chen Zhengyu shook his head: "I guess the Japanese are afraid of being beaten by us!"

"So far, the regiment headquarters has not received any news of a Japanese army leaving the city? I suspect they want to be turtles with heads!"

Zhou Cheng's face flashed with confusion: "Hide in the city as a turtle? Are they not going to be occupied outside the city?"

"The current Japanese soldiers are not as good as before? Especially the Japanese troops in the occupied areas, except for weapons, ammunition and soldiers that need to be supplemented by superiors, they usually have to solve all their daily rations. If they do not control the occupied areas as soon as possible, what should they do next year's rations?"

"Old Tang, please inform Deputy Commander Zheng immediately and find out the next trend of the Japanese at all costs and see if they are planning any new conspiracy."

"Chief of Staff, you have arranged for the troops to keep an eye on the Japanese in the city to death. No matter what abnormal movements they have, they must report to me as soon as possible."

"Other troops rest on the spot, replenish combat losses, restore combat effectiveness, and decide how to fight next after we figure out the new trends of the Japanese army?"

The next morning, Zheng Yunshan found the information Zhou Cheng wanted: "The regiment commander, it has been found out. The Japanese army decided to temporarily abandon the occupied areas outside the city, concentrate their forces to defend the county town and important transportation roads, and wait until the garrison and field troops recover their strength before attacking us and regaining the occupied areas."

"Just just transferred to the middle of the Japanese in Yangquan, all the officers above the squad leader concentrated on learning the tactics and tactics of our National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army to understand us."

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up and he had an idea in his mind: "We will take over all the occupied areas that the Japanese don't want. Although they cannot develop into defense areas, it will definitely be fine to develop into guerrillas like the Eighth Route Army."

"Let Deputy Commander Tang and Chief of Staff come to see me immediately. Speed ​​is faster. This is a big gift given to us by the Japanese for free. We must take it down!"

As soon as the two walked into the war room, Zhou Cheng handed over the information sent by Zheng Yunshan.

Tang Yufeng's reaction after reading it was completely opposite to Zhou Cheng. He withdrew his gaze and looked at him and a hint of worry flashed on his face.

"Captain, I think the new brigade commander of the Japanese was more difficult to deal with than the original brigade commander."

"It was too unexpected to face the meeting gifts prepared by us and the Eighth Route Army for him."

"It means that the brigade commander is very cautious and does not care about the details. He can remain rational in the face of such a large loss, which is difficult for ordinary people to do."

"It is better to give up the occupied areas outside the city than to restore the strength of the troops first. Understanding us means that he is full of confidence in the future counterattack, and believes that he will definitely be able to regain the occupied areas in one battle and grab the food they need from us."

"From this, the first attack against us after the Japanese army recovered its combat effectiveness will be unprecedented. Eighty-most will concentrate all their troops and firepower to deal with us first, and then turn around to deal with the Eighth Route Army, and also give us one by one to defeat us."

"The five garrisons under the Japanese have recovered to more than 4,000 people, and the field troops still have more than 2,000 people, but they will definitely get some supplements. Based on the 3,000 people, we will reduce the remaining troops to defend the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese army can gather at least 5,000 elite troops to attack us. With the puppet army, it will be no problem to collect 10,000 people!"

"Since the establishment of our National Salvation Army, we have not even fought against the 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops, let alone ten thousand people. I am worried that we are not opponents?"

A battle with more than 10,000 people participating can be called a battle.

The next battle between the National Salvation Army will be held in the Japanese and puppet army, which Chen Zhengyu dared not even think about.

A regiment's troops could actually touch the nerves of tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops and force them to attack the National Salvation Army together.

As the chief of staff, Chen Zhengyu felt both proud and worried.

Looking around the country, no regiment can alarm so many Japanese and puppet troops, and the National Salvation Army where they are located has done it, which shows how high the national Salvation Army is in the minds of Japanese and puppet troops.

But there are too many Japanese and puppet troops over 10,000, just as Deputy Commander Tang said just now: No one knows whether the National Salvation Army can withstand so many Japanese and puppet troops' attacks.

There was no clue in my mind, and then I used to turn my attention to Zhou Cheng: "Captain, I support Deputy Commander Tang's judgment. If the Japanese army abandoned the occupied areas outside the city to gather tens of thousands of troops to attack us in the future, then this may not be a good thing for us."

"If more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops were lined up, the team alone would be more than ten kilometers. When the troops attacked from pacification and the vanguard troops reached Donghui Town, the troops behind the hall had not yet left the county town."

"There are too many troops, I dare not think about it!"

Zhou Cheng finally spoke: "Old Tang, Chief of Staff, I have the same idea as you."

"After this period of reorganization, we fully understand that our Japanese and puppet troops will definitely gather heavy troops to attack us, regain all occupied areas in one battle, and get rid of us by the way, and steal the food we seized from the occupied areas."

"I guess ten thousand people will be short by then! But I have confidence in our National Salvation Army!"

"There are two main factors: one is that the Japanese and puppet troops did not launch an attack now. They are still training the troops. Understand us, the general attack time will definitely be half a month later. We can use this time to transform the necessary path of the Japanese and puppet troops into a huge battlefield."

"When the Japanese and puppet troops decided to attack us, they were attacked continuously when they left the city. When they passed through the occupied area and entered our defense area, the participating troops had suffered heavy casualties..."

"There is another factor in addition: Although the Japanese hid in the city as turtles, we still have ways to continue to consume their strength."

"In addition to the county town, they must defend, the occupied areas, the Zhengtai Railway and many important transportation routes cannot be destroyed by us, otherwise the Japanese in Shanxi will have a lot of trouble."

"We are not easy to fight in the county town, but we can fight the major traffic roads and the Zhengtai Railway, force the Japanese who are trapped in the county town to fight us, and then harass them and consume them at all costs."

Chen Zhengyu's eyes lit up: "Windraw the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops to attack us in the future through attack, and then increase our strength against the Japanese and puppet troops through large-scale construction of fortifications. If the two roads advance together, our chances of victory will definitely increase greatly."

"No matter what the final result is, we will prepare for this first, and we will definitely be prepared for any trouble..."

When several people began to refine how to build fortifications and how to force the Japanese out of the county town, the communication platoon leader Xue Ya suddenly appeared at the door of the war room.

Zhou Cheng thought that Yuan Shushan would have something to do when he was calm for a few days, so he quickly let her in.

"There are all people here. If you have any questions, is Deputy Commander Yuan taking any new actions?"

Xue Ya shook her head: "Report to the regiment commander, Deputy regiment commander Yuan did not take action. Is the war zone giving us an order to the National Rescue Army?"

"War zone?"

Including Zhou Cheng, several people all showed a puzzled expression on their faces.

Since Yuan Shushan became the deputy regiment commander, the war zone has been disliked by the National Salvation Army and rarely takes the initiative to send telegrams to the National Salvation Army.

Zhou Cheng remembers correctly that he has not contacted him for more than a month since the war zone. If he really has something to do, he will contact Yuan Shushan directly.

But no matter how big the conflicts there are between the two sides, the war zone is the open superior of the National Salvation Army, and the superficial respect is still necessary.

With doubts, he took the telegram, looked at three lines at a glance, and quickly browsed, and then his brows frowned.

While handing the telegram to Tang Yufeng, he said, "The war zone allows us to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army's field troops transferred to Yangquan. If they can be eliminated, they will be dragged on the Yangquan battlefield. I don't understand why this is?"

"We are hundreds of kilometers away from the front line. Even if we eat up the infantry corps brought by Honda, it will not affect the war zone. Is there any mystery in this infantry corps?"

Zheng Yunshan thought for a while and replied: "It shouldn't be there! As far as I know, this infantry corps is an ordinary field infantry corps, without any special or any special commander?"
