Chen Fusheng immediately understood the implicit meaning of Xiao Yuan's words, and then showed a scared expression on his face.

Xiao Yuan's words were not alarmist at all, and they were very reasonable.

The reason why the Japanese expanded the garrison regiment into a garrison brigade was that Yi County was close to the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and the enemy situation was more complicated than before.

If Yi County is safe and the crisis is resolved, the garrison brigade will lose its meaning of existence.

Then, like the surrounding Eighth Route Army, it turned into a thorn in the side of the Japanese, a thorn in the flesh, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

The Japanese often do things to unload and kill donkeys, and they have seen a lot of them.

When it comes to yourself, there will definitely be no exceptions.

Chen Fusheng had already begun to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, gasped, and hurriedly replied, "Captain Xiao, your reminder is too timely." ”

"Not only can the activities of the Eighth Route Army not be eliminated in Yi County, but it must be strengthened."

"The more chaotic it is, the more meaningful the garrison brigade will be, and the more the devils will pay attention to me."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Allowing the Eighth Route Army to operate on a large scale in Yi County, killing a few devils from time to time, ambushing two transport teams, and pulling out one or two artillery towers, in addition to raising his own respect, is there another benefit for Brigade Commander Chen?" ”

Chen Fusheng was completely convinced of Xiao Yuan, and hurriedly asked, "What benefits?" ”

"By feeding the war with war and obtaining a steady supply of food and ammunition from the Japanese, we can not only secretly resell weapons and ammunition to make money, but also secretly increase the strength of the garrison brigade."

"In the troubled times, having a gun is the king of grass, and when the strength in his hand is strong, Brigade Commander Chen can be more confident"

The frightened expression on Chen Fusheng's face was replaced by excitement on the spot.

Excitedly said, "I understand." ”

"What does Captain Xiao mean to let the garrison brigade and the Eighth Route Army operating in Yi County give devils a drill?"

"It's a war!" Xiao Yuan corrected.

"Yes, it's a war!" Chen Fusheng completely understood.

"As long as there is a war, there will be people who will be injured, and weapons and ammunition will be lost."

"The Japanese still have to rely on the garrison brigade to hold Yi County, which will definitely make up for our losses on the battlefield and give us the strength to continue to fight the Eighth Route Army."

"When I was fighting, I lost ten guns and two hundred rounds of ammunition, and I reported twenty guns and five hundred rounds of ammunition, and the Japanese would definitely not suspect it."

"It is equivalent to a battle, and the garrison brigade can get ten guns and three hundred rounds of ammunition for nothing, which is definitely a good deal with a lot of profits."

"This way it works!"

Xiao Yuan suddenly interrupted: "Brigade Commander Chen, trading is a good deal, but the benefits can't be all taken by the garrison brigade. ”

"The Eighth Route Army accompanies you to fight to deal with the little devils, and it will also lose weapons and ammunition, so you can't take advantage of it."

As soon as Chen Fusheng heard it, he knew that Xiao Yuan was asking for benefits, so he thought for a while and replied: "I will make up for you the weapons and ammunition lost by the Eighth Route Army in the firefight, and the remaining weapons and ammunition will be thirty percent for your Eighth Route Army, and I will be seventy percent." ”

"The reason why I have more and less of you, I think Captain Xiao should be able to understand."

"I face the Japanese directly, and I do things under the noses of the Japanese, and any accident may cost my life, so I have to take the lion's shoulder."

"No problem!" Xiao Yuan replied.

The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the battle situation in the no-man's land did not improve much.

Last night, a total of four medium-sized strongholds were breached by the Eighth Route Army, and two reinforcements were ambushed, and the whole army was wiped out.

More than 600 Japanese troops were killed and wounded, and nearly 1,000 puppet soldiers were killed, wounded and captured.

After listening to the report of the acting chief of staff, the army commander became angry at that time, and began to be furious at the subordinates of the command, scolding everyone so much that they did not dare to raise their heads.

As the commander's deputy, the acting chief of staff must be brave enough to stand up to ease the tension and bring the commander back to his senses.

Taking advantage of the gap between the commander's breathing, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency, the front line is not without good news. ”

"After the troops attacking Huaiyuan County are in place, the newly established Huaiyuan Independent Regiment has withdrawn to the newly established base area to return to defense."

"The offensive troops are all elite drawn from Zhangjiakou and other places, and there are aircraft support, and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment is definitely not an opponent when it is newly established."

"If nothing happens, the attacking troops will be able to recapture Huaiyuan County tomorrow night, and then take the county seat as the center, slowly compress the living space of the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment, and finally completely kill the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment."

"There is also good news coming back from Yi County."

"With the support of the imperial army, the Yixian Garrison Brigade has formed two garrison regiments, and the remaining garrison regiment will definitely be completed within ten days."

"The troops are dividing their troops into villages and towns to clear out the anti-Japanese armed forces left by the Eighth Route Army and completely control Yi County."

"When Yixian is safe, the connection between the garrison regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment will be cut off by us, and the garrison regiment will be surrounded by no man's land again."

"As long as we find a way to change the situation in the no-man's land and change from passive to active, the garrison regiment will become our turtle in the urn again."

"When the imperial army recovers its strength and mobilizes a sufficient number of troops and supplies, it can launch a new round of sweeps at any time."

The heavy face of the army commander looked a lot better, and he asked with a calm face: "According to the battle report, the garrison regiment lost troops in this sweep. ”

"The General Staff has judged that the main force of the garrison regiment and the local troops add up to less than two thousand people."

"Now that the newly established Huaiyuan Independent Regiment has withdrawn its troops, it means that the garrison regiment can kill nearly 2,000 of us in one night with its own strength alone, and also capture four strongholds, even if the garrison regiment is strong in combat and well-equipped, it is not something that more than a thousand remnants of soldiers can do."

"Can anyone tell me what the Eighth Route Army is doing in a no-man's land? What is their identity, how many troops are there, and how is the equipment? ”

The Acting Chief of Staff took out another telegram report: "Your Excellency, judging from the telegrams sent by several strongholds asking for help, there are at least 6,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army operating in the no-man's land, and all of them are from the garrison regiment. ”

"Impossible?" The military commander retorted loudly.

"How long has it been since the end of the sweep, how can it be possible to expand the remnants of more than 1,000 soldiers to more than 6,000 in such a short period of time, and pull them onto the battlefield as soon as the expansion of the troops is completed, unless the garrison regiment has the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, otherwise their commanders are crazy?"

The acting chief of staff explained: "The commander is angry! ”

"The garrison regiment does not have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, but their ability to expand their troops is indeed very strong."

"Intelligence shows that after the end of the counter-sweep, in a very short period of time, they recruited 2,000 recruits from among the refugees who had been driven into their base areas by the imperial army, 1,000 from the guerrillas from various villages, and nearly 2,000 from the prisoners, adding up to 5,000 men."

"There is also intelligence that during the sweep, the garrison recruited at least 3,000 recruits from those refugees, adding up to 5,000 people."

"In the process of sweeping, at least 3,000 captive soldiers were replenished, both fighting and replenishing, otherwise the garrison regiment would not have so many troops for us to consume."
