Wang Tieshan and four subordinates launched an attack at the same time. With the cooperation of the supporting troops, they rushed out of the encirclement in just one assault...

The Japanese and puppet troops in the other three directions realized something was wrong and rushed to the fire exchange point. Except for the corpses everywhere on the battlefield, Wang Tieshan and his subordinates could not see the shadows.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the commander who had been in the middle of the night was very tired. He yawned but didn't feel sleepy at all. His face was full of anxiety, and he walked around the war room with his hands on his back.

It was already dawn, and the troops searching for the mountains had not sent good news yet.

Based on their understanding of these enemies, they will disappear from the battlefield as soon as the sky is dawn, and it will definitely be very difficult to find them.

"Sir, the telegram from the search troops on the south side of the mountain has arrived!" The communications officer walked over with a heavy face.

"What happened?" the commander asked with a bad premonition.

The communications consultant nodded and replied: "Around three o'clock in the morning, the enemy who attacked them successfully broke through with a mysterious force. They only eliminated five enemies in one night, but lost more than 200 people. The captain led the team leader to request punishment!"

"How could there be such a huge gap in casualties? They are just a group of stupid pigs. So many people can't even destroy more than a dozen opponents. This is simply a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army, and it has thrown away all the faces of our Shanxi garrison!"

"Chief of Staff, you immediately count the list of all the dereliction of duty officers, demote all the ranks to one level, remove the current position, and temporarily take the position of the agent."

"If you perform well in the future, you will have a chance to regain your position. If you perform poorly, all the full positions will be demoted to deputy positions in three months."

The Chief of Staff opened his mouth, trying to persuade the commander to say a few words to the officers, but he swallowed it back.

The commander was angry and now he pleaded for the officers who had lost the battle, and undoubtedly hit the gun on the commander and scolded him.

He decided to do what the commander said first. Anyway, the demotion was temporary. After the commander's mood improved, he would persuade him and try to restore all of them to their posts in three months.

Just as the Chief of Staff nodded, the Communications Staff hurriedly appeared at the door of the war room again.

He rushed in and reported anxiously: "Sir, the telegram from the search troops on the east side has also arrived..."

"The enemies who attacked them all broke through. At around 3 a.m., a mysterious unit suddenly appeared behind the search team. They attacked from front and back, quickly tearing a hole in our encirclement, and then successfully breaking through..."

As soon as the communications consultant finished speaking, the atmosphere in the war room solidified.

The commander clenched his fists and wanted to get angry. His eyes turned red because of anger, but he couldn't curse him when he spoke.

A mountain-successing force failed to complete the task, and he could still say that they were dereliction of duty. After scolding, he punished them by demotion to serve as a warning to others.

The two consecutive mountain-successive troops did not complete the task. If all the officers in the team were demoted according to the previous handling method, the entire Taiyuan garrison would be affected and had a great impact.

The commander wanted to kill the culprit of the raid caravan attacking Taiyuan and save face, but no matter how important these dozens of people were, they were not as important as the Taiyuan garrison. The commander would never affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the Taiyuan garrison in order to capture them.

I struggled for a long time before I made a decision: "Since the enemy has escaped from the encirclement, the possibility of us finding them must be very low."

"In order to find this enemy, we have wasted enough resources and troops. If we continue to search for the entire Shanxi war situation will be affected, and we cannot lose the big picture because of small things."

"Order all troops involved in the search of mountains to return to their defense zone immediately and end the search of mountains."

"But the action of the Special High School cannot be stopped. No matter what method they use or what price they pay, I have to find out the specific identity of this mysterious enemy for me."

"There are injustice and debts. The Shanxi garrisons they have brought us these days will be returned sooner or later."

After hearing this, the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the commander who was angry would also exempt all the officers in the Sushan troops on the east side, as that would have a great impact.

Hearing that the commander did not hold the Sushan troops on the east side accountable, he immediately thought that the commander had just wanted to hold the orders of the Sushan troops on the south side accountable.

Neither of the two mountain search troops completed the task. If they were not held accountable, they would definitely not be held accountable. I promptly reminded: "Sir, should I issue the punishment orders of the southern search troops?"

"The order to punish them will be cancelled!" the commander blurted out.

At the south gate of Xiyang County, Deputy Commander Tang Yufeng, Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu, and Deputy Commander Zheng Yunshan, all guarded the city gate, staring at the end of the official road and looking up.

Although it was already three o'clock in the morning, there was no sleepiness on the faces of several people, both excited and looking forward to it.

Because they were worried that the team leader who had been in the past half a month had finally returned.

Based on their understanding of the group leader, they finally went to Taiyuan and would definitely not only pick up a few people.

Everyone is looking forward to what other treasures the team leader can bring back from Taiyuan.

"Here you..." Chen Zhengyu shouted excitedly as he looked at the fire that suddenly appeared at the end of the official road.

More than ten minutes later, a team of more than fifty mules, horses and war horses appeared at the city gate. The three of them found Zhou Cheng who was walking in the middle of the team in one night and met him at the same time.

"Hello, the leader... you are finally back. If you don't come back, I'm going to send a telegram to the superior leader!" Tang Yufeng said with a look of disaster.

Zhou Cheng smiled and didn't respond, and directly shifted the topic to the spoils he brought back: "I know you're in a hurry, so I thought about bringing you more treasures from the beginning of this trip to Taiyuan."

"Fortunately, we did not only successfully get the gunpowder experts needed by the arsenal, but also seized a large amount of supplies and funds we urgently needed in Taiyuan City."

"Old Tang, you must be very happy after hearing this."

"In addition to the supplies to the arsenal, we also brought back gold worth 400,000 oceans and Western medicine worth 400,000 oceans. You will send someone to take over immediately. Leave half of the medicine and half of the medicine and all the gold to the division headquarters."

Tang Yufeng originally wanted to curse people, but when he heard the spoils brought back by Zhou Cheng, he immediately forgot everything he had thought about. He took two steps at a time and ran directly to the Mule and Horse Team, wanting to confirm that the medicines and gold that the regiment leader just said were real.

Zhou Cheng did not stop him, but turned his attention to Chen Zhengyu: "In addition to gold and medicine, we also seized 38 war horses and supporting cavalry equipment, three anti-aircraft machine guns, and two 120mm caliber mortars, which are heavy equipment that we can't buy even if we have money."

"With them, we will have the chance to fight back when we encounter Japanese planes in the future, and unlike before, we can only be passively bombed."

"We have tried two 120mm caliber mortars in Taiyuan. Not only are they long-range, but the power of the shells is also very powerful. You can beat the Japanese mountain artillery troops on the battlefield."

"You take over these equipment immediately and then form the troops."

"Anti-air machine guns are given to the chariot platoons, and they are asked to form two air defense squads. Large-caliber mortars are given to the artillery battalions, and a heavy artillery platoon is set up specifically. Cavalry equipment and war horses are sent to the cavalry company, so that their value can be brought to the cavalry company as soon as possible."
