Three days later.

Luoping County.

A county seat located behind the town of Luo.

At this time, many troops were stationed in nearby towns and villages overnight, and they also carried guns and cannons, and it seemed that they were going to fight.

And it was a regiment stationed very close to Zhang Dashan.

Boom boom...

Suddenly, there was a burst of artillery bombardment.

It's like a battle is about to start.

Zhang Dashan, who was sleeping, was frightened when he heard the sound of shelling: "What's the matter?" What's going on? “

"......" Many officers also got up, and when they heard the sound of cannons, they all looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't know what was going on?

"Why don't you hurry up and take a look." Zhang Dashan hurriedly asked people to investigate what was going on with the sound of the cannons?

Boom boom...

Another burst of artillery fire rang out.

"Report." At this time, a soldier on duty ran over and shouted.

"What the hell is going on with the cannon fire outside?" Zhang Dashan saw the soldiers on duty hurriedly running over and hurriedly asked.

"Report to the regimental seat, there are a lot of soldiers from the Eighth Route Army gathered outside, they are engaged in military performances, and there is an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, and two infantry battalions." The soldier on duty reported truthfully.

"What? So much? Do you know what kind of troops the other side is? Zhang Dashan knew that according to the current calculation, the strength of the army had exceeded one regiment.

It's completely to fence off the town of Luoping.

"I inquired, they are soldiers of the independent regiment, and they said that they were conducting military exercises nearby." The soldier continued in response.

"And when did they say they were going to do the drill?" Zhang Dashan continued to ask.

"I don't know, they said it could be a day or two, maybe three or five days, maybe longer." The soldier continued.

Multiply!

When all the officers heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

A day or two?

Three or five days?

Maybe longer?

You don't need to think to know why the Eighth Route Army's military exercise is completely aimed at them in Luoping County.

Zhang Dashan was a little puzzled, does the independent regiment have so many troops? If they used the entire regiment to encircle Luoping County, wouldn't Luocheng be empty?

Obviously, Zhang Dashan thought so, and that was because the intelligence work was not done properly.

Why?

At this time, the independent regiment was not only the strength of one regiment, but almost close to the strength of a brigade, such a terrible force encirclement and suppression, even if the strength of two regiments was put in front of Luoping County, it was not too much.

"Anything else to report?" Zhang Dashan felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"Report, there is another thing, I heard from the people of the Eighth Route Army, and there will be a regiment of troops to participate in the military exercise in a while." The soldier continued debriefingly.

"What? And the strength of a regiment? Which troops? Zhang Dashan felt that the strength of a regiment was enough for him to think, wouldn't another regiment not have enough brains?

"I heard that it's also an independent regiment, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, they said that, and I also reported it." The soldiers on duty still went out to learn more about it, after all, they are only military exercises, and they are not fighting, they can still go out to see and ask!

"Alright, you can go on." Zhang Dashan felt that his brain was completely bad.

Two regiments?

Does the Separate Regiment have so many troops?

"Tuanza, I heard before that the independent regiment has made a fortune, and the strength of the battalion below is constantly expanding, I heard that there are almost ten battalions." At this point, an officer stood up and said.

"What? The strength of ten battalions? Zhang Dashan stared at his officer with wide eyes.

"Yes, I only heard about it before, but it has not been confirmed, so I didn't take it seriously, now I look at the strength of four battalions outside, if two more battalions come in a while, or more to prove that the previous legend is true." The officer had only heard about it before, and felt that it was completely the Eighth Route Army exaggerating to brag about itself.

Today's situation seems to have some of this flavor.

"I'll call the Traveler right away and see what the Traveler has to say." Zhang Dashan felt that his brain was completely insufficient, so he could only call the brigade headquarters to ask for instructions.

Not for a while.

All officers waited before calling.

Outcome...... Can't get out.

Multiply!

Everyone gasped.

"It looks like our phone equipment has been stuck, and it's almost impossible to get in touch with the outside." Zhang Dashan said with a frown.

"Tuanza, what should we do now?" The other officers all looked at Zhang Dashan and asked.

"How long will we be able to sustain our food?" Zhang Dashan looked at the officers and asked.

"Two days, if you eat less, you can last three or four days." The officer in charge of logistics responded.

"When will our supplies arrive?" Zhang Dashan continued to ask.

"According to the stipulated date, it should be able to arrive today." The military officer in charge of logistics continued to respond.

"Okay, then we'll see." Zhang Dashan hoped that the supplies could arrive in time, and if the supplies could come in, they would not be afraid of being consumed with the people of the Eighth Route Army, and if they couldn't get in, they would be very passive.

"Tuanzao, do we want to meet Zhou Weihua, the head of the independent regiment? Maybe it would be better to meet and talk? One of his officers said suggestively.

"We're definitely going to talk, but we'll wait and see, and we'll talk about it if our supplies don't come in." Zhang Dashan just wanted to see if the supplies could come in: "There is also a signal corps sent out to contact the brigade headquarters, so that the brigade headquarters can quickly reply." ”

"Yes." The officers responded.

Zhang Dashan also took people to the front of Luoping County to have a look.

Not for a while.

Zhang Dashan and other officers appeared on the wall of Luoping County, using binoculars to look at the black oppressive troops.

"Tuanza, there's a situation over there." An officer pointed in an easterly direction.

Zhang Dashan used a telescope to look east.

I saw that some troops were entering the exercise area of the Eighth Route Army.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Dashan can see clearly that the strength of three battalions has joined the exercise, and there are also troops pulling artillery shells, and so on.

Multiply!

Sure enough, yes.

It seems that the legend is true.

I'm good.

How did the people of the Independent Regiment develop so many soldiers?

A full seven battalions of troops are engaged in military exercises, as well as training, and so on.

How many troops do you still have in Luo Cheng??

However, it is only about half an hour from here to Luocheng.

Even if the enemy attacks, they can rush to support in time.

"Tuanza, it seems that the rumors that the independent regiment has ten battalions of strength are true." The regimental chief of staff was also quite surprised, he had not taken the rumors as a matter a few days ago, but now that he had suffered a loss, he knew that they were true.

"Let's wait and see, when our supplies arrive, don't say that they have to practice for three or five days, even if the exercise is half a month, it will not be a problem." Zhang Dashan seemed to be looking forward to it, and felt that it was time to fight wits and courage with the independent group.
