At the Pingding County National Salvation Army Command, at around 10 o'clock in the evening, Deputy Regiment Commander Zheng Yunshan suddenly ran in with a very nervous expression.

After confirming that there were no outsiders in the war room, I walked to Zhou Cheng and whispered: "Captain, I just got the news that the second attack of the Japanese Shanxi garrison on us should have begun."

"The Eighth Route Army's intelligence personnel lurking in Taiyuan sent a message: At least one infantry corps Japanese troops drove into the railway station this morning and did not come out. Because the station was very tightly guarded, our intelligence personnel could not get close, so they didn't know what the Japanese army was doing at the railway station. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, two consecutive military trains were driven in Taiyuan Railway and drove along the direction of Chaoyangquan on the Zhengtai Railway!"

"I think these two armies are loaded with the secret forces of the Japanese attacking our second time."

Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu responded quickly: "Captain, I agree with Deputy Commander Zheng's judgment."

"The Japanese want to defeat us in the second attack. The best way is to take advantage of our attack on the surrounding garrisons, and suddenly dispatch heavy troops to raid our empty rear, first attack Huanglong, destroy the arsenal, and then attack us from behind. Cooperate with the garrisons to attack several main battalions in front and back, so that we can defeat us at the minimum cost!"

Zhou Cheng agreed with the analysis of the two people very much, stared at Zheng Yunshan and asked: "Tell me about the latest achievements of the Eighth Route Army around him?"

Zheng Yunshan immediately replied: "The Yangquan Independence Regiment is besieging the Japanese and puppet troops who returned to Yangquan City to aid, and has taken down Yangquan City. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese and puppet troops will be wiped out in one hour and then continue to attack the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the front line."

"Although the results of the other troops are not as good as those of the Yangquan Independent Regiment, they have all killed at least one squadron of the Japanese."

"In addition to the killing of our National Salvation Army, more than half of the garrisons stationed around us have been killed or killed."

As soon as Zhou Cheng heard this, he walked to the map: "With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be fine to hold up a few garrisons with more than half of the casualties."

"Chief of Staff, our troops can retreat, but in order to continue paralyzing the Japanese, letting the Japanese troops coming from Taiyuan City have the courage to enter our defense zone so that they can close the door and fight the dogs, I decided to give the Japanese another trick to replace the pillars."

"Old Tang, you cooperate with the Chief of Staff and organize the militia to replace the main force."

"Each main battalion left a infantry company with the largest casualties, cooperated with the militia to defend our positions to prevent the Japanese army from suddenly killing us and retaliating."

"The other troops were hiking in the morning and walking at night, and secretly rushed back to Xiyang to stand by."

"If I were the Japanese commander, I would definitely do what the Chief of Staff had analyzed just now: take advantage of the empty defense area troops and attack Huanglong, first destroy the arsenal, kill the weapons and ammunition we reserved in Xiyang, and then destroy the regiment headquarters that was still in Xiyang County, and finally turn around and fight back to the front line!"

"I want to use six main battalions and twelve main companies, one artillery battalion, one cavalry company, one spy company, and one guard company. A total of more than 3,000 troops were deployed in Xiyang, killing all the Japanese soldiers entering our defense zone, and fighting the Japanese garrison in Shanxi who wanted to attack, we had no troops to send."

"Deputy Commander Zheng, please contact the Eighth Route Army in the surrounding areas and ask them to strengthen their attack on the Japanese garrisons and strive to prevent a garrison from attacking our national rescue army in the next three days."

"Chief of Staff, come with me, take a radio station to Xiyang, and command the troops to fight at close range."

"Deputy Commander Zheng and Deputy Commander Tang stayed behind to pacify, with Deputy Commander Tang as the main force, completely controlled and pacified, and prevented one soldier from entering pacifying."

The Second World War Command, looking at the intelligence sent by the intelligence department, was particularly excited and ran to the commander-in-chief to report the good news as soon as possible.

"Commander-in-Chief, the commendation telegram you sent to the National Rescue Army has responded!"

"Our intelligence personnel lurking in Taiyuan City reported that the Japanese army drew an infantry gang and a large number of artillery and cavalry from the Taiyuan garrison. They secretly advanced east by train and went straight to the National Rescue Army defense zone. They planned to take advantage of the National Rescue Army counterattacking the surrounding garrisons and attack Huanglong, first destroying their arsenal and command center, and then destroying them one by one, and destroying several main battalions scattered on the front line."

"The Deputy Commander Yuan, who was sent to the National Salvation Army in the War Zone, reported that Xiyang Hehe Peace has no more than two companies left in the remaining main force, and the others are militia units with little combat effectiveness. The Japanese army only needs to send an infantry brigade to take Xiyang!"

"Because of our commendation telegram, the Japanese army increased the size of the secret troops from two brigades to one corps. There will definitely be no accident this time, killing the National Savior Army in one battle!"

The commander-in-chief's face quickly rose, showing an unexpectedly confident smile, and then ordered: "Let me find a way to deliver this information to the national rescue army!"

The Chief of Staff was shocked after hearing this, and he shouted in discomfort: "Why?"

"If the National Salvation Army knew in advance that the Japanese were planning to attack Huanglong, the National Salvation Army would definitely transfer troops from the front line to support Xiyang. Maybe it would turn defeat into victory, so wouldn't the National Salvation Army survive?"

The commander-in-chief suddenly snorted coldly, then stared at the chief of staff and asked: "Do you think the National Salvation Army still have the capital to turn defeat into victory?"

"This..." The Chief of Staff immediately frowned.

The commander-in-chief explained confidently: "The main force of the National Salvation Army suffered heavy casualties, but in order to prevent the Japanese army from launching a second attack, they had to gather all their remaining troops on the edge of the defense zone to confront the surrounding garrisons."

"Even if the National Salvation Army knew that the Japanese army sent an infantry gang to attack Xiyang, they could only draw some of their troops back to Xiyang, otherwise the troops left on the front line would not be able to stop the Japanese garrison."

"The Japanese army in Xiyang County has strong strength. Without reinforcements, it would be easy to take it down."

"If a part of the national rescue army returns to Xiyang, only one thousand people can cause a lot of trouble for the Japanese army to capture Xiyang, and can also eliminate many Japanese devils in the battle."

The Chief of Staff was very smart, and the Commander-in-Chief understood it at a glance. He suddenly realized and shouted, "I understand!"

"It is best for the war zone to be the Japanese army and the National Rescue Army to kill both sides. If the Japanese are allowed to easily eliminate the National Rescue Army, the Japanese will lose one opponent and can concentrate their forces to deal with us."

"If they suffered heavy casualties in the second attack on the National Salvation Army, the pressure on the war zone will be reduced."

"The raid troops were secretly drawn by the Japanese from the Taiyuan garrison. Once the casualties are heavy, the Japanese army will definitely demolish the east wall and repair the west wall, and mobilize troops from other places to supplement the losses of the Taiyuan garrison. Looking at the entire Shanxi, only the front line can transfer troops back to Taiyuan."

"Your move is so powerful that it not only achieved the purpose of killing the National Savior Army, but also drained the last little value of the National Savior Army, and truly killed two birds with one stone!"

"I'll make arrangements now, so that the National Salvation Army will last for two more days and help us kill more Japanese devils before the destruction."

Zhou Cheng, the Xiyang County National Salvation Army, rushed forward and finally returned here at five o'clock in the morning.

Just as I was about to take a break, the radio started to ring as soon as it turned on.

Deng Jinghua glanced at the flashing signal light and made a judgment: "It was an emergency telegram sent by Deputy Commander Tang!"

The tired expression on Zhou Cheng's face disappeared instantly, and he stood behind Deng Jinghua with a strong temper and watched him receive the telegram.

He had just left for a few hours to calm down, and only when he encountered an emergency that Tang Yufeng could not solve would he be so anxious to send a telegram to himself.

"It's a piece of information!" Deng Jinghua put down his headphones and reported.

"Deputy Commander Tang said that the information was sent to them by the war zone. The Japanese did secretly draw a unit from the Taiyuan garrison to attack our defense zone. There was an infantry gang, a cavalry brigade, and a mixed artillery brigade, with a total force of more than 4,000!"

After hearing this, Chen Zhengyu frowned: "Captain, when did the war zone become so good!"

"Didn't they always want to use the Japanese to get rid of us? This attack was a godsend opportunity, but the war zone told us in advance that the enemy situation was not reminded to prepare and turn us into victory?"

"Or it is said that this information is fake. The war zone also wants to interfere, use the fake information to confuse us and help the Japanese kill us together!"

Zhou Cheng didn't understand at first, but after thinking for more than ten seconds, he understood. He shook his head and replied: "The war zone is still the same war zone. The original intention of trying to kill people with a knife has not changed."

"As for this information, I am 90% sure it is true."

"The reason why the war zone did this is to squeeze out all the surplus value of our national rescue army!"

"In the eyes of the war zone, no matter whether there is this information or not, our national-savior army will definitely be defeated in the next battle, but there are some people who will say the truth."

"Without intelligence support, Xiyang County will be without defense. It will definitely be much easier for the Japanese army to attack. It only takes a small price to take Xiyang, destroy our arsenal and regiment headquarters, and achieve the goal of directly attacking Huanglong."

"With this information, the results will be very different."

"After we are prepared, we will definitely draw troops from the front line to help Xiyang, prevent the Japanese army from occupying Xiyang, and protect the arsenal and regiment headquarters."

"The Japanese army will be unable to move forward in the attack and pay a huge price, and end up killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 by themselves. Only such a result can the war zone truly reap the benefits."

Chen Zhengyu finally figured it out, and the confusion on his face immediately turned into anger, and he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and cursed.

"It must be so. The war zone wants our National Rescue Army to fight more Japanese soldiers before it is destroyed, and in the end they will take advantage of themselves."

"Luckily, we have to be prepared, otherwise we will be counting the money for them if we are sold in the war zone."

After the scolding, the anger on Chen Zhengyu's face was replaced by concern again.

Regardless of the conspiracy in the war zone, an offensive force of a corps is a fact.

Although the regiment commander had prepared for a long time, he replaced the pillars and dispatched a large number of troops from the front line to help Xiyang, all of these troops had only more than 3,000 people, a total of 1,000 fewer than the Japanese army.

More importantly, after the first round of counter-sweeping, the recruits supplemented by each company have not yet truly formed their combat effectiveness, resulting in the combat effectiveness of these more than 3,000 troops is not as good as the two thousand people before counter-sweeping.

The huge gap in force and strength are like two insurmountable mountains, which stand in front of you and the regiment commander. If you don’t find a way to climb over, the National Salvation Army will still be defeated.
