"The supplies troops left behind by the Japanese are easy to talk to the artillery troops. They build roads in front, so we can follow them and destroy the road again, block them in the defense zone and clean up slowly!" Zhou Cheng looked at the map to analyze!

"What is difficult is two Japanese light infantry. After one unit is attacked by us, the other unit will definitely retreat when the situation is not good!"

"They don't carry heavy weapons and can go anyway. We want to send troops to intercept them but don't know where to stop them!"

"To avoid this accident, I decided to fight two battles together and eat two light infantry at the same time!"

Tang Yufeng did not object. Zhou Cheng kept hiding the unplayed trump card, giving him enough confidence and answered with confidence: "It is a bit risky to fight two battles at the same time, but it is not impossible."

"The defense zone has lurking six independent battalions, and the three independent battalions fought a lot of battles outside Taiyuan City. Although there have been some reductions in personnel, their combat effectiveness has not been reduced."

"In addition to the three reinforced battalions provided by the garrison, the cavalry battalion, the mobile battalion, two heavy mortar companies, and two air defense companies, we can directly participate in the battle more than 7,500 troops, nearly twice as many troops as the Japanese, and the firepower is stronger than them. As long as you choose the decisive terrain and time, you will be sure to win at least 80%!"

Zhou Cheng was more confident than Tang Yufeng and immediately responded: "Old Tang, you underestimate our troops too much. I think we have at least 95% chance of winning in this battle."

"Since the target of these two Japanese and puppet troops is the logistics agency of the regiment headquarters, field hospitals and arsenals, we will release these two baits and bring the Japanese into our scheduled battlefield!"

"In the eyes of the Japanese army, there is no main force in the defense zone that can threaten their safety, and there must be no concerns when pursuing it."

"You can also arrange several companies to block the road, and then hold on for a few minutes and pretend to be defeated, so that the Japanese will chase them even more unscrupulously!"

"My initial idea is to fight Japanese ambush in Yelangyu and Niutou Mountain."

"The logistics agency of the regiment headquarters moved towards Yelangyu, attracting the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked our Shouyang direction. The field hospitals and arsenals moved towards Niutou Mountain, attracting the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked our Yangquan direction, and drawing out an independent battalion to divide into two groups, blocking the Japanese and puppet troops in a layer by layer with companies."

"They not only want to reassure the Japanese and puppet troops, but also control the pursuit speed of the Japanese and puppet troops to ensure that both Japanese and puppet troops enter the preset pocket array around 5 pm."

"The first independent battalion, the seventh independent battalion, the eighth independent battalion, the strengthening battalion sent by the Shouyang garrison, the strengthening battalion sent by the Xiyang garrison, and a large-caliber mortar company to arrange a pocket array in Yelangyu, and ambush the Japanese and puppet troops there. I personally go over and command!"

"The Second Independent Battalion, the Third Independent Battalion, the Ninth Independent Battalion, the Tenth Independent Battalion, the Strengthening Battalion, the Mobile Battalion sent by the Yangquan Garrison, plus a large-caliber mortar company, and also set up a pocket formation to clean up the Japanese and puppet troops coming from Yangquan. Lao Tang, you are responsible for commanding."

"The cavalry battalion and two air defense companies are divided into two parts. Immediately reinforce the Yangquan garrison and the Shouyang garrison to intercept the Japanese troops' baggage, artillery, and chariot troops left behind!"

"As long as we eat all the Japanese and puppet troops that invade our defense zone in one bite, the Japanese Shanxi garrisons will not have the strength to attack us again in the next year."

"Maybe the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi will be declining and will never stand up again if they never recover!"

As night fell, the stone gate, which had been quiet for a day, became lively again.

One after another, the national rescue army emerged from the dense forest where they hid during the day and surrounded the stone gate again.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the Shimen immediately became nervous and prepared for battle.

The commander rested for several hours during the day and was obviously much better than yesterday. When he walked into the war room, he asked seriously: "Chief of Staff, how are you doing to recruit expatriates to join the war?"

"Very smooth..." The Chief of Staff was happy to answer: "Although there were not many expatriates in the city, we still armed a reinforcement squadron!"

"The headquarters has equipped them with the best weapons and ammunition, and they can go to the battlefield at any time!"

The commander shook his head calmly: "Forget it when you go to the battlefield, the expatriates are not soldiers after all, and they have no combat experience. If they are sent to the top of the city, the National Rescue Army can blow them up and collapse them with a few rounds of shells!"

"Then is the purpose of the commander arming them?" The chief of staff was ready to let the armed expatriates go to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the commander had no idea about this and could only continue to ask.

"Go to guard the warehouse, replace all the guards that defend our warehouse, and reinforce the city!"

"There are also fifty armed expatriates who come to protect the headquarters and transfer the headquarters' guards to the top of the city!"

"Our recent reinforcements will be able to reach outside Shimen City for more than an hour. As long as the city defense forces persist for a while, the National Salvation Army that attacks our country will be attacked from both sides. We can also take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and kill the Imperial Army's major concerns!"

In order for the commander to see their hope of guarding the stone gate.

The Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army, which were responsible for the fight against the aid, never attacked the reinforcements, and only sent a small number of troops to slow down their marching speed and consumed their troop.

Only after the National Salvation Army conquered Shimen and captured all the materials and ammunition reserved by the Japanese army in Shimen City, will the attack on the aid troops take real action and encircle and annihilate all the reinforcements.

The Japanese commander did not know that the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army had already set up a net of heaven and earth for him.

"Boom..." Before the sky was dark, a violent explosion sounded on the city wall.

The commander immediately ordered: "The National Salvation Army has begun to attack the city. The offensive will definitely be even stronger than last night! Immediately replace all the guards in the city onto the top of the city. As long as we withstand the first three attacks of the National Salvation Army, we will win!"

Next to the largest material warehouse in Shimen, a reconnaissance team was hiding in the yard, waiting quietly for the best attack moment.

Wang Tieshan's eyes never left the telescope.

As soon as the cannon sounded on the top of the city, he was about to call his subordinates to touch the door of the warehouse.

The twenty or so Japanese left behind the warehouse were all guarding the door and built defense lines based on two heavy machine gun positions.

If you want to take down the warehouse, you must first take down the Japanese defense line at the door.

Before the people moved, more than twenty expatriates appeared in Wang Tieshan's vision and headed straight to the door of the warehouse.

He knew about the Japanese army organizing expatriates to participate in the war during the day. Although he didn't take them seriously, if these armed expatriates cooperated with the Japanese to defend the warehouse, they would more or less cause some trouble for the next action.

Wang Tieshan frowned immediately.

An accident happened at this moment.

After entering the warehouse, more than 20 armed expatriates immediately took over the defense line. The Japanese guards guarding behind the defense line began to assemble, carrying two heavy machine guns and heading towards the nearest east gate.

Wang Tieshan was very happy when he was in a false alarm.

The combat effectiveness of armed expatriates is definitely not as good as that of the Japanese. The Japanese army asked armed expatriates to take over the warehouse, which was tantamount to giving the warehouse free of charge to the National Savior Army.
