After returning to Yangquan, the first thing Yuan Shushan did was to figure out everyone's reaction to this battle, especially those soldiers and soldiers who defected to him.

The result disappointed him.

The officer who rushed to express his loyalty to him a few days ago, today he saw himself as he saw the plague god. He hid as far as he could, and both sides did not even have the chance to speak.

After several main battalions moved, less than 20% of the officers were willing to continue to surrender to them.

If Yuan Shushan knew that there were still several officers who were willing to continue to surrender to him, he would be the inner responders arranged by Tang Yufeng, and Yuan Shushan would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!

On the way back to the command center, I bought a bottle of wine from somewhere and planned to drown my sorrows with wine.

As soon as I arrived at the room, I met Xue Ya and came to see her: "Report to the Chief, this is an urgent telegram sent to you by the war zone."

Yuan Shushan subconsciously believed that this was the war zone that asked him to suspend his actions and not to anger Zhou Cheng's order.

He took out the password book and threw it on the table, with a frustrated command: "You can help me translate, and just tell me the content after you finish!"

Today's incident had a great blow to Yuan Shushan. He felt that after he lost the opportunity to turn the tables, he would never have the chance to take over the command of the National Salvation Army in the future.

Moreover, in order to save his life, as Zhou Cheng's prestige in the National Salvation Army grew higher and higher, he would bow his head to him in the future and compromise with him, so that he could not feel his hostility.

In this case, it is better to give up the unrealistic ideas that were once before.

The password book is the best way to keep secret contact with the war zone. Throwing the password book to Xue Ya is undoubtedly to show Zhou Cheng that he will have no secrets or hostility in the future.

Looking at the password book on the table, Xue Ya was very excited.

She wanted to get it more than once so that all the secret traffic between Yuan Shushan and the war zone could be translated out.

But Yuan Shushan brought the password book with him every day, and except himself, everyone else did not even have the chance to encounter it, let alone get the contents in the password book.

Today, Yuan Shushan was like taking the wrong medicine and actually gave her the opportunity to contact the password book. Xue Ya couldn't even understand why this was done if she wanted to break her head.

But she knew in her heart that this might be the only chance for her to get in touch with the codebook.

In order to get the password book she had dreamed of, she decided to take this opportunity to memorize as much content in the password book as possible.

I naturally picked up the password book and recorded it in my heart while translating it...

But in order not to arouse Yuan Shushan's suspicion, as soon as the time for a normal telegram was reached, she put away the password book and walked to Yuan Shushan.

"Sir, the war zone said in a secret telegram that the National Salvation Army raided the Zhengtai Railway last night as a scene. The negotiations between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese did not break down. You are asked to continue to act according to the original plan."

"After completing the mission successfully, the war zone will only expand the National Salvation Army to the Independent Brigade, appoint you as the brigade commander, and you will also reward you with 10,000 yuan!"

"What?" Yuan Shushan thought he had heard it wrong, and shouted at Xue Ya with disbelief.

"The war zone said that the negotiations between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese did not break down, and the negotiations went very smoothly. The military operation last night was a scene with the Japanese in order to stabilize the morale of the troops!"

Yuan Shushan snatched the telegram from Xue Ya. After reading it without missing a word, he almost jumped up from the ground with excitement: "God has eyes! Even God doesn't want to see me so depressed."

"That's great. As long as Zhou Cheng plans to continue to surrender to the Japanese, I will have a chance to turn the tables!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shushan suddenly heard that Xue Ya was probably no longer her own person. When she thought that she had just shown her password book, a lot of cold sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.

I thought about the process of asking Xue Ya to translate the secret message just now.

After confirming that Xue Ya didn't have time to memorize the content of the password book, Yuan Shushan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the password book on the table into his arms. He looked at Xue Ya with a serious threat: "No one can disclose the content of the secret message, otherwise you will not only lose the position of the communication queue, but also will not be able to save your life. Do you understand?"

Xue Ya quickly replied: "Please rest assured, I understand the rules of confidentiality. This is a secret telegram given to you by the war zone, and I will definitely not leak it."

"If you hadn't asked me to translate just now, I would definitely not have touched the contents!"

"Just remember, you go down first!" After saying all the warnings that should be given, Yuan Shushan decisively issued an order to expel guests.

Then I began to think about my next actions in my mind.

First call together the deputy company commander who continued to defect to him, tell them the secret telegram from the war zone to stabilize the morale of the army and let them continue to support themselves.

Then, just like before, continue to look for goals in the team that can be won over.

But the effect is very little. Although he swore to tell everyone that the National Saving Army robbed the army was a scene with the Japanese. The regiment commander Zhou Cheng would soon surrender to the Japanese, and the National Saving Army would be adapted into the Imperial Army.

But everyone doesn't believe it.

During the battle to rob the army, everyone saw the railway being bombed, the National Salvation Army seized countless weapons and ammunition from the army, and many soldiers also saw the Japanese and puppet troops who were killed.

Their ideas were the same as the chief of staff of the war zone. The Japanese were so arrogant. How could they bow their heads to help the National Saving Army perform? And they also gave the National Saving Army so many weapons and ammunition for no reason.

Moreover, the bodies of soldiers killed in the military were all real. They felt that they did not believe that the Japanese could even give up their lives in order to act with the military to save the country.

Yuan Shushan really wanted to take out the secret telegram given to him by the war zone, but in the end he still didn't do that.

The battle between the national rescue army and the army was seen with their own eyes, and it was definitely more convincing than the secret telegrams given to themselves by the war zone.

Even if he took out the secret power himself, the impact on them would be very limited, and it is very likely that the secret power would be leaked out and let the regiment commander know that he was still splitting the national rescue army, which would be more than worth the loss.

Before robbing the army, if you are lucky, you can persuade seven or eight lower-level officers to surrender to you in a day.

When you are very lucky, you can also persuade four or five lower-level officers to surrender to you.

Now that I am lucky, I can only talk to two or three people every day. When I am unlucky, I even return empty-handed and work in vain.

Although the effect was very poor, Yuan Shushan did not give up.

Mosquitoes are small, but they are also meat. As long as they are willing to accumulate, they cannot get the strength to fight against Zhou Cheng. When Zhou Cheng decides to join the Japanese, he can lead some of his team to leave the troops and rebuild the national rescue army.

At that time, everyone would see Zhou Cheng's true face. He once did not want to be a traitor and defected to him. Later, because Zhou Cheng acted with the Japanese and stayed away from his soldiers, he would definitely be lost and turned to him again.

At that time, his strength will expand rapidly in a short period of time, and finally reach the standard of being able to fight Zhou Cheng head-on, replace him, take him down in the name of the war zone, and be the commander of the National Savior Legion...

With this dream, Yuan Shushan works very vigorously every day.

What he didn't know was that his every move was under the surveillance of Tang Yufeng.

As for his secret telegrams with the war zone, when he saw them, the same telegram would appear in Zhou Cheng's hands.

Although Xue Ya only recorded part of the password book, she had cracked part of the communications before, and all of them were added up to half of the password book.

So now, Xue Ya can translate at least 70% of the content of every secret telegram they communicate with.

If you speculate again, the content of the entire secret message will come out.

However, Zhou Cheng's attention was not on him.

The negotiations and confrontations between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese were very fierce, and no one allowed anyone to let him go. In a blink of an eye, a month passed.

If you remember correctly, the "Hundred Regiments Battle" will begin in more than half a month.

Zhou Cheng's eyes regained on the arsenal!

"Captain, you are here. If you don't come, I will go to find you!" Kong Dewen, the director of the arsenal, said anxiously when he saw Zhou Cheng.

"Is there a problem with the production of the arsenal? Or is it that the raw materials cannot be supplied?" Zhou Cheng asked quickly.

The war is about to begin. If the arsenal produces one more shell, the Eighth Route Army may suffer less casualties. Zhou Cheng is not in a hurry.

"None of them!" Kong Dewen quickly shook his head: "It's our warehouse that can't be installed!"

"Because the arsenal adjusts its production plan, concentrates manpower and material resources to produce ammunition, and reloads bullets, our daily ammunition output is twice as high as usual."

"Captain, you asked us to temporarily detain this batch of weapons and ammunition, and they have been piled up in the warehouse, and more and more, and they will be unable to put them down soon!"

After hearing this good news, Zhou Cheng's face was full of joy on the spot: "Take me to see it right away..."

The warehouse built using caves is indeed full of various boxes. Kong Dewen walked to Zhou Cheng and introduced: "Captain, this pile of bullets is produced by us. So far, there are 480,000 bullets with a total of 65 caliber bullets, of which 340,000 were reloaded bullets."

"There are 660,000 bullets in the seventy-nine caliber. Except for the 100,000 bullets that we produced ourselves, the remaining 560,000 bullets were all reinstalled. After random inspection, the pass rate exceeded 96%!"

"This pile of grenades is all produced by us. Although it is not as powerful as the grenades made by the Taiyuan Arsenal, it still has 70% or 80% of the power!"

"We have produced more than 53,000 pieces during this period, and now we can produce 1,500 pieces every day!"

"There are heavy machine gun bullets piled here, with a slightly smaller number of them, but there are also 120,000 rounds."

"The ones piled up inside are shells, all made of materials you sent by the regiment commander. There are 1,250 shells with a power of 90% of the original, and 1,400 shells with a power of 80% of the original, and 80 can be produced on average every day!"

"The warehouse next to it is considered a weapon that has been repaired this month. There are a total of 1,400 large 38 covers, 2,300 79 caliber rifles, 14 crooked handles and 21 Czech-made ones."

"There are the smallest number of artillery and heavy machine guns, only 7 heavy machine guns, 8 mortars, one infantry cannon, and one mountain cannon. The remaining heavy weapons are too severely damaged, and they cannot be repaired with the existing conditions of the arsenal!"
