Liuhe County.

The 3rd, 4th, and 6th regiments of Shao Benliang's division have been assembled, and the Japanese Onizuka Brigade is already on its way to Liuhe County.

Just half a month ago, Shao Benliang boasted to his Japanese master that there was no Zhang Guanyi.

However, Shao Benliang does have some skills, especially when fighting in the mountains.

He himself is a bandit, and it is a basic survival skill to cross the snow through the forest and sea.

Before Zhang Guanyi did not bring the independent division here, Shao Benliang had helped the Japanese successfully inflict heavy losses on several anti-Japanese teams many times, and even two or three of them were completely annihilated by the old Seventh Regiment under his command.

The news that Zhang Guanyi was going to form the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army on the basis of an independent division appeared on the desk of the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Tonghua, Nishitani, as early as half a month ago.

For Zhang Guanyi, the people of Xigu can be said to hate it deeply.

Before the independent division came to this area, with the help of Shao Benliang, the Xigu generation had basically swept away the anti-Japanese troops in the Tonghua area, and those who escaped by luck disappeared due to the lack of men and guns, and hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and did not dare to come out at all.

However, after Zhang Guanyi came with the independent division, he had several small-scale exchanges with Shao Benliang's troops, winning more and losing less, effectively suppressing Shao Benliang's arrogance, and also reorganizing the teams that had been broken up by Shao Benliang before and integrating them into the independent division.

Now, he is going to set up the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, how can Nishitani allow such a thing to happen in his own defense area?

He once laughed at Nomura's incompetence, and now he is also moving in that direction, which he simply cannot face and accept.

For this reason, the Nishigu Dairen had already reprimanded Shao Benliang several times for this matter, and ordered him to eliminate the independent division in the shortest possible time.

And Shao Benliang is absolutely loyal to the Japanese, and there is no deliberate release of water at all.

He is, indeed, and some are not Zhang Guanyi's opponents.

First of all, Sanyuanpu was attacked, and his materials became the guarantee for the soldiers of the independent division to survive the winter, and then there were several collisions in succession, and he almost did not take any advantage.

He knew very well in his heart that if this situation continued, his Japanese master would probably have to cut him!

This time, when he heard that Zhang Guanyi was going to expand on the basis of an independent division and form the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, Shao Benliang immediately found Xigu Dai and volunteered to lead his troops to clear it.

According to Shao Benliang's idea, even if he still can't take advantage of anything, he can at least prevent Zhang Guanyi from uniting with other anti-Japanese forces.

If the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army is really established, he, the "commander", will definitely be the leader, not to mention that he will have to worry about his life if he doesn't get it right.

The people of Xigu also knew that Shao Benliang had some skills, otherwise he would not have reused him at all.

Although Shao Benliang was frustrated again and again before, at least he was able to confront Zhang Guanyi, and his ability to fight in the mountains and forests was indeed something that the current Japanese soldiers and commanders did not have.

In order to ensure this victory, Nishitani also specially applied to his superiors to transfer the Onitsuka Brigade to cooperate with Shao Benliang's operation, and strive to annihilate Zhang Guanyi and the independent division in one fell swoop.

When Liu Cheng led people to Liuhe County, Zhang Guanyi had already made combat arrangements.

This is the first time Zhang Guanyi has seen Liu Cheng's team after the establishment of the independent battalion, and I have to say that it really scared him.

The nearly 100 war horses alone made Zhang Guan's heart beat when he saw it, he never thought that in just a few months, Liu Cheng would be able to come up with a cavalry company!

There is also the uniform clothing worn by the soldiers of the independent battalion, which Zhang Guanyi did not expect at all.

The batch of fabrics that Qian Lu got was darker in color, a bit like the color of the Guojun generals, but a little lighter, and it looked like an indescribable momentum.

When Duan Jinghe saw Liu Cheng, he immediately hurried to catch up, patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder with both hands, and laughed loudly:

"Okay, brother, it's really fucking Shibei for three days, when you look at it, as soon as you wear this clothes, the little devil has to pee his pants when he sees it!"

As he spoke, he walked to the side of a war horse, stroked the mane of the war horse, and said "tsk" in his mouth:

"Look, look, authentic war horse! These are all shipped from China by little devils, which is rare! Hello, you can get hundreds of horses as soon as you get it, you are sincere to make my brother's eyes hot! Hey, let's discuss, can you give me a horse? ”

Liu Cheng didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded with a smile.

Before he came, he had already thought that this time he would leave a war horse for Zhang Guanyi and several commanders with higher positions, which naturally included Duan Jinghe.

After he told Zhang Guanyi about his plans, Zhang Guanyi just smiled and waved his hand and said:

"No, what's the use of giving me a horse? Let me run on horseback when I am in danger? What about the soldiers? If you can get me 5,000 horses, then I'll do it. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"But you can give Battalion Commander Duan a horse, he is now the commander of the mortar battalion, a total of four mortars, get the car to pull it just right, and the marching speed can be faster."

Liu Cheng saw that Zhang Guanyi really didn't want it, so he didn't insist anymore, and picked a horse on the spot and gave it to Duan Jinghe.

Duan Jinghe was not polite, took the reins of the horse from Liu Cheng's hand, turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, shouted "drive", and the war horse jumped out like an arrow off the string.

Looking at Duan Jinghe's back, Zhang Guanyi and Liu Cheng looked at each other and smiled, and no one spoke.

They all knew in their hearts that Zhang Guanyi had just seen that Duan Jinghe really liked war horses, so he deliberately said that.

Otherwise, the total weight of the mortars of that era, whether sixty or seventy-five millimeters, would not have reached such a level as to affect the speed of the march.

Zhang Guanyi took Liu Cheng to his room and explained in detail the battle plan and the tasks that the independent battalion needed to complete.

This time the movement is indeed not small, one side is Shao Benliang, who is good at drilling mountains and forests, and the other side is the Onitsuka Brigade.

And what Liu Cheng has to do is to lead the independent battalion to drag down the Onizuka Brigade and prevent them from joining Shao Benliang's army, otherwise, Zhang Guanyi's independent division may be in danger.

Liu Cheng didn't say a word, and agreed to come down at that time.

The two were talking when there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Liu Cheng hurriedly got up and went over to open the door, and there was a teenager who was not a few years older than him standing outside.

The man first leaned into Zhang Guanyi's ear and whispered a few words, then took a half step back, straightened up, and waited for Zhang Guanyi's reply.

Zhang Guanyi twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, raised his head and pointed at Liu Cheng and said to the man:

"Zhang Xiruo, this is Battalion Commander Liu of the Independent Battalion."

As soon as the three "Zhang Xiruo" came out, Liu Cheng's face changed suddenly......
