At the command of the Yangquan Japanese Army Corps, Major General Honda had just lying on the bed to prepare to go to bed when the Chief of Staff's exclamation rang at the door.

"General, something happened at Chengjia Railway Station..."

"The National Salvation Army suddenly assembled a large number of troops to attack Chengjia Railway Station. The garrison commander Ono Nakasa was attacked on the way to inspect the night guard troops and died on the spot. Now the garrison commander of the fourth battalion of the Honda United acts as the garrison commander of the railway station!"

"According to his report, the National Salvation Army attacked very suddenly, and quickly took the level with lightning speed, and then pretended to be the garrison of the level to raid the receiving troops sent by the railway station. In less than half an hour, they killed their two infantry squadrons and severely damaged their artillery units."

"Now the National Salvation Army is sieging the railway station to prepare for the final general attack."

"Because the National Salvation Army carried a large number of mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars to attack the railway station, the artillery troops under the garrison were severely damaged again, and the infantry alone would definitely not last long."

"Master Ekou hopes that we can send troops to reinforce the railway station, and it is best to send an artillery brigade to the country, otherwise we cannot suppress the artillery fire of the National Rescue Army. No matter how many troops go, they will be passively bombed."

Major General Honda was stunned when he heard this, stared at the Chief of Staff and asked incredible, "Do you say the National Salvation Army takes the initiative to attack us?"

"Shouldn't they hurry up and train the troops and prepare for counterattacking our offensive? How dare they take the initiative? Aren't they worried that the offensive troops would fall into the Chengjia Railway Station and cannot retreat!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head: "I can't understand why the National Salvation Army took the initiative to provoke the war at this time."

"But I think this may not be a great opportunity to severely damage the National Salvation Army!"

Major General Honda nodded thoughtfully, but did not respond, but walked towards the war room quickly.

When I saw the sand table, I started asking questions: "How are the training of several garrison brigades? Can I participate in the battle immediately!"

"Call me the intelligence officer again. The National Salvation Army suddenly assembled heavy troops to attack the Chengjia Railway Station. They didn't have any warnings for such a big deal, which disappointed me so much!"

The Chief of Staff immediately reported: "General, the five garrisons have recovered 60% to 70% of their combat effectiveness, and can handle ordinary combat effectiveness."

"What Beizhi is most worried about now is the garrison at the railway station. The Jiangkou Grandmaster said that the National Salvation Army carried a large number of mountain cannons, infantry cannons, and mortars. If they attacked for a strong force, they could only be blasted passively, and there would definitely be heavy casualties and a huge price!"

"If we send troops to reinforce the railway station now, we can reach the battlefield within an hour by taking the railway. So please make up our minds as soon as possible whether we should send troops to reinforce the battlefield and how many people we can send over."

Major General Honda was unmoved: "Subtract the two infantry squadrons that have been eliminated, and there are more than a thousand troops stationed at the railway station. It will be no problem to persist for a few more minutes."

"We will decide how to fight back when the intelligence officer arrives!"

The intelligence officer ran all the way into the war room and saw that the brigade commander and the chief of staff were waiting for him. Thinking of the general situation learned from the guards on the way, he decided to take the initiative and not give the brigade commander a chance to get angry at him.

"Report to the chief, after learning that Yangquan Railway Station was attacked, Bei Zhi had ordered nearby intelligence personnel to go to the battlefield to investigate, and accurate intelligence should be sent back soon."

After hearing this, Major General Honda got angry: "Bageya Road, the battle has begun. What's the use of sending people to investigate? The railway station garrison has reported the enemy situation to the command center. Can the intelligence department detect another situation?"

"I want to know that none of your intelligence agencies have found any information about this attack before?"

"If I remember correctly, I have allocated a lot of funds and soldiers to the intelligence department during this period. Is this the gain from the Brigade Command that spent such a huge price on you?"

The intelligence officer was very panicked and explained: "God relieve your anger!"

"Beizhi has indeed received any information about the mobilization of the national rescue army during this period, but the mobilization of the troops was not very large, and they were mobilized in the name of training, so Beizhi did not report it."

Major General Honda felt that the secret of this battle lies in the movement of troops that the intelligence department did not pay attention to, so he asked quickly: "To be more specific, which troops have been mobilized and how did they mobilize?"

"Hayi!" The intelligence officer quickly reported.

"Half a month ago, the artillery battalion of the National Salvation Army began to conduct marching training. In order to prevent us from sending planes to attack them from the air, the entire field training was carried out in a day and night manner."

"In less than two days, the four main battalions also began to conduct field training, each training was dispatched to dispatch an infantry company, which lasted for five days, and took turns to fight."

"At the beginning, Bei Yi also found it strange, thinking that there was a conspiracy against us hidden in it, and a large number of intelligence personnel were drawn from all over the country to stare at them."

"After following me for a few days, not only did I find any conspiracy, but I also lost more than 20 intelligence personnel."

"After some thoughts, we think we are overthinking. The National Salvation Army is indeed conducting a very ordinary military training and does not take the opportunity to hide our military operations."

"In addition, the National Salvation Army was also suffering heavy casualties in the battle with us, and urgently needed to be remediated. Huye gave up his focus on these training troops and sent only a small number of intelligence personnel to continue to pay attention to them!"

"I never expected the National Salvation Army to be so tolerant. After practicing outside for half a month, it took me a lot of time to expose my true purpose."

Major General Honda understood the general after hearing this, and then stared at the intelligence staff and asked: "According to what you meant just now, each main battalion of the National Salvation Army only dispatched one company's troops every time the training was trained, and all other troops were left at the garrison and remained unmoved. Does it mean that the National Salvation Army that was attacking the railway station had only four companies of troops?"

"This is impossible!" The intelligence chief was rushed to answer before he could speak.

"The Imperial Army stationed at the railway station has more than 1,000 people, and there is also a battalion of Imperial Army to cooperate in combat, with a total strength of more than 1,500 people. No matter how arrogant the National Salvation Army is, he dare not use four companies to attack us, unless they don't want those attacking troops."

The intelligence officer quickly explained: "Report to the chief, the troops of the National Salvation Army to attack the railway station should have more than four infantry companies."

"With the knowledge of the National Salvation Army, as long as it is a large-scale battle, their guard companies, spy companies, and cavalry companies will participate in the battle."

"These three companies are all different from ordinary main companies. They have strengthened the company's organization, not only with a large number of troops, but also have strengthened a lot of mortars and heavy machine guns."

"I haven't figured out the true situation of their cavalry company yet."

"They are too cunning, marching fast, coming and going without a trace, and often splitting troops, so it is difficult for our people to lock them up."

"But Beizhi has already figured out the situation of their guard company and spy company. If they are merged together, the overall strength of these two strengthening companies is no worse than any of the main battalions of the National Salvation Army. They must have participated in the battle to attack the railway station."

"In addition to the four main companies, a cavalry company with unknown real strength, and an artillery battalion, the total strength is definitely no less than 1,500 people!"

The Chief of Staff thought for a moment and agreed: "This is almost the same."

"At the same force, as long as they have absolute firepower advantages, they have the chance of winning!"

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment: "I know why the National Salvation Army took the initiative to attack the artillery units in the railway station."

"They have no advantage in military strength, and they can only seriously damage our artillery at the first time. Their artillery can dominate the entire battle and suppress the garrison at the railway station."

"In addition, they took the initiative and ate the two infantry squadrons of the railway station garrison with lightning speed, resulting in the superiority of troops to them. The railway station garrison is even more dangerous, and we must send reinforcements in time."

Major General Honda still didn't say anything, but his face was already gloomy and terrible.

He stared at the intelligence officer and asked seriously: "You are sure that most of the forces of the four main battalions of the National Salvation Army are at the garrison. There are only four main companies and some direct troops attacking the railway station."

The intelligence officer has just taken office less than a month ago, and his prestige has not been established yet, nor has the opportunity to prove to the brigade commander that he is capable of taking this position.

If he faces such a simple problem as the brigade commander, he will admit defeat and will not be able to stay in the position of the intelligence commander for a long time.

In addition, the intelligence officers who are focusing on the National Salvation Army are all arranged by themselves. If even they are not trustworthy, the intelligence department will be completely rescued. It is better to disband.

So he had to answer this question positively, either affirming or negative.

Take a deep breath and face the brigade commander's suspicious gaze, affirming: "I am sure that all the main forces of the National Salvation Army stay in their respective garrisons and have not moved. If the commander does not believe it, just send someone to investigate. I am sure that I dare to use my head as a guarantee!"

"Bageyalu..." For some reason, Major General Honda suddenly cursed after hearing this.

The Chief of Staff was puzzled and asked quickly: "Sir, please calm down. Is there something wrong?"

Major General Honda shook his head: "No problem, I'm too self-indulgent!"

"I originally thought that the National Salvation Army suddenly attacked the railway station was also an opportunity for us. After listening to the information, I realized that I was thinking too much. The National Salvation Army was too cautious and did not give us any opportunities or loopholes!"

The Chief of Staff asked thoughtfully: "Sir, you want to mobilize troops to raid their rear while the National Salvation Army attacked the railway station, but their main force was not mobilized, so we lost this good opportunity to severely damage the National Salvation Army?"

Major General Honda nodded: "Our opponents are too cunning and very cautious. What shocks me even more is their increasingly powerful military strength."

"Without mobilizing the main force, it is really scary to draw only a few main companies and some direct troops to attack the railway station stationed at more than 1,000 imperial troops!"

"I don't think about it anymore. Since the National Salvation Army does not give us the chance to raid their rear, we will not be self-indulgent. It would be nice if we could eat up more than a thousand people attacking the railway station, especially if they attacked the railway station's killer artillery battalion. If they eat this force, the overall combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army will be reduced by at least 20%!"
