Yangquan, the giant city. The Jin Sui army was mixed into three brigades, and they were stationed here at this moment.

This mixed brigade has only been established for less than two months, but this young army is very combative. After the Battle of Shanxi, many numbers were faced with the problem of being canceled. It can be said that the mixed three brigades are the essence of condensing multiple troops, at least Yan Xishan himself has deep hopes for this army.

In the headquarters, Du Xingbang's eyes looked east along the Yangquan Railway. His state of mind as a newly promoted brigade commander at this time was quite interesting. In the first battle of Taiyuan City, his troops suffered huge losses, and it can be said that they were completely defeated.

However, although he lost the battle, he still entered Yan Xishan's sight, and after some investigation, Yan Xishan officially appointed Du Xingbang as the commander of the mixed three brigades.

The first time he received the letter of appointment, Du Xingbang immediately felt absurd, he lost the battle and was promoted, which was a little ridiculous, but then Du Xingbang figured out that he was promoted not because he was better, but because he was not worse.

"Brigade seat, the following has almost been integrated, and the troops can be drawn within two days."

Li Huaizhen, who was an adjutant, walked in and reported this to Du Xingbang. With Du Xingbang's promotion, Li Huaizhen has also risen with the tide here, and now he is already a major.

"Good."

Du Xingbang put down the red and blue pencil in his hand and walked up along the table.

"The chief really understands me, and this time he actually sent me to Jingcheng. Just take this opportunity to get a good look at Yue Siliang of the 424 regiment.

Speaking of which, we are really thanks to these Eighth Route Army for being able to enter Hebei this time, if it weren't for this battle they opened up a little situation in Hebei, the above really wouldn't have made this decision. ”

As soon as Du Xingbang said this, Li Huaizhen also nodded on the side.

"yes, to be honest, I still can't believe it. With less than 2,000 men in one regiment of the Eighth Route Army, he was able to cripple most of the Sasaki Wing alive, and the first time I heard about it, it was like listening to a story. ”

"Well, it's not just you, even Chief Yan was shocked when he heard about it. Although I knew that this 424 regiment was more capable of fighting after the battle of Lingqiu, I really didn't expect them to have such combat effectiveness. It is said that their battle in Hebei has already alarmed the chairman of the committee, and it seems that they want to give them a reward. ”

"Hmph, since the war with the Japanese, how many battles have we fought desperately. They had only won a small victory, and the chairman of the committee had to give them a commendation. ”

Li Huaizhen said with some unconvincing that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, and this matter is a great stimulus for him.

"Now is the period of cooperation, some things are good to understand, and you don't be unconvinced, people are really fighting this battle, there are many places worth learning from. Not to mention comparison, the 424th Regiment is indeed very clever in the coordination between various arms. We are a mixed brigade, and we must work hard to coordinate operations with multiple arms. ”

Unconvinced, Du Xingbang also has his heart, but after experiencing the fiasco of the Battle of Shanxi, he gradually learned to be modest, just like now, although he is wary of the Eighth Route Army, he will definitely not despise them.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you say that now. After arriving in Hebei, let's talk less, the cooperation period is indispensable to kowtow to the Eighth Route Army. Everyone is Chinese, and it is still good to be unanimous at present. ”

After a few words from Du Xingbang, Li Huaizhen didn't say anything anymore, he can follow Du Xingbang from Lingqiu to the present, the most important thing is that he is a reasonable person.

"Alright, without further ado, the team is about to start. The 6,000-plus people are not an easy matter, and they must be dealt with carefully. Tell Zhongshun and Fuguang that they can't be sloppy in the process of pulling out, and they must beware of sudden attacks by devils. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that when it came to business, Li Huaizhen also changed his expression, and immediately remembered every word Du Xingbang said and conveyed it.

Du Xingbang is a nostalgic person, and after being promoted to brigade commander, he still used the old subordinates of the original 128th Regiment. This time, the 128th Regiment became a mixed third brigade, and Du Xingbang was determined to be ashamed of himself.

……

There were two documents lying flat on the table of the 424th Regiment Headquarters at this time, and Yue Siliang, Di Hanming, and Wang Shuangyin sat there with strange expressions and silent expressions.

"Commander, what do you think?"

Di Hanming looked at the two documents on the table with a little headache, one of them was good to say, it was written that the superiors had a specific commendation for their 424 regiment, and after a period of discussion, the specific commendation had been conveyed.

Another document is interesting, the higher authorities sent an order saying that a mixed brigade of the Jin Sui Army will be transferred to Jingcheng in the near future, and it has not been determined whether it will be in Lubei or Lunan, and they will need to do a good job of receiving it at that time. Of course, the most important thing is that in this instruction, the tone of the superior is also very playful.

"As soon as we finished a vicious battle, the Jin Suijun came over, don't pick peaches, right?"

Wang Shuangyin narrowed his eyes, he really couldn't help but think about it too much, the Jin Suijun's movements were a little too fast, and the battle of Nanzhang had just knocked out a large number of blank areas in Lunan, and a brigade of the Jin Suijun was about to arrive.

"Don't think about it, cooperation has just begun, and no matter what, we can't open an opening to undermine cooperation."

Di Hanming was also a little distressed, a mixed brigade of more than 6,000 people, and the momentum of the Jin Sui army was clearly a fierce dragon crossing the river. I still don't know what kind of person this military commander of the Jin Sui Army is, and if they come here, how will they respond to unreasonable demands? But even if they are rejected in their hearts, they can't do anything that hinders the overall situation at this time, cooperation is not easy to come by, and they can't go wrong here.

"What the political commissar said is right, we can't do anything to sabotage cooperation, it is necessary to respond, and we must let this mixed brigade smoothly enter the territory of Jingcheng. And in my opinion, it's not a bad thing that this mixed brigade is here at this time. ”

After thinking about it, Yue Siliang immediately made a decision, but his last sentence made Di Hanming and Wang Shuangyin look sideways.

"Isn't it? A good man still has three gangs, now is the period of cooperation, our Chinese army is naturally the stronger the better. Listening to the chief's meaning, the combat effectiveness of this mixed brigade should not be weak, if it can fight side by side with us, it will really be enough for the little devil. ”

As soon as Yue Siliang's words came out, Wang Shuangyin's expression changed when he saw him.

"Commander, are you okay today?"

You must know that Yue Siliang is not a master who easily believes in people, it is really surprising that he is saying such things now, but Di Hanming is seriously analyzing Yue Siliang's words.

"The head of the regiment makes sense, since it is a period of cooperation, then we should also show sincerity. It would be a good thing if we could really work together. Of course, we have a good idea here, but we also have to consider what if the Jin Sui army does not cooperate? Just like Shuangyin said just now, what if they really just came to pick peaches? ”

Di Hanming's analysis of problems has always been comprehensive, Yue Siliang nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then said with a smile.

"Han Ming, you are still a kind person after all. I just said that cooperation, it will definitely not be a bottomless cooperation, and it is a good thing that Jin Suijun is willing to cooperate with us. If they hadn't come with good intentions, they wouldn't have done us a loss. ”

Di Hanming and Wang Shuangyin were stunned for a moment, but they didn't speak, just quietly waited for his next words.

"In the First Battle of Nanzhang, the troops suffered heavy losses, and a large number of blank spaces appeared along the railway. We don't have the energy to manage these places yet, and the arrival of the Jin Sui army just fills this gap. It is better to hand over those lands to the Jin Sui army to manage than to let the Japanese occupy them and support traitors.

Besides, our team is actually not good at defending the city, and even if a large amount of land is handed over to us now, we don't have enough strength to garrison it, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be taken away by the little devils. Let's be honest, even if there is no transfer of the Jin Sui army this time, I will find a way to bring in some forces to ensure the balance of power in the Lunan area. ”

Yue Siliang's words made Di Hanming and Wang Shuangyin suddenly feel enlightened, but then Wang Shuangyin questioned it again.

"What the regiment commander said makes sense, at the moment we are indeed lacking in strength, but we are destined to not be like this all the time, when our strength returns to the initial state or even stronger, there will definitely be a lack of living space, what should we do at that time? You must know that it is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God. ”

Wang Shuangyin's reasonable questioning made Yue Siliang very pleased, and only through such a discussion could he come to a correct conclusion.

"What you're talking about is an issue that deserves attention, but don't forget that our development method is different from that of the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and even the devils.

They are more focused on occupying a local town, and our core strength comes from the masses.

When we fought with them at the beginning, we didn't stop us from developing the masses, and now that we are cooperating, it is even more impossible. If you think about it, it's always better to develop a mass under a friendly army than under the influence of a devil, right? ”

Yue Siliang laughed silently, Di Hanming and Wang Shuangyin understood all his thoughts, it seems that the calculating and Yue Siliang is still the same Yue Siliang.

At this moment, Yue Siliang's expression suddenly became mysterious.

"I have a hunch that this mixed brigade won't just come in casually. Since they are going to be Jiang Long, they can't be like a cat, and they always have to kill a few heads.

What we have to do is not to let this knife fall on our heads, and find a way to let them take the devils and traitors. It just so happens that Xuzhuang is a good target. ”

Di Hanming's eyes widened, and he finally understood why Yue Siliang had been letting the situation in Xu Zhuang develop, it turned out that he wanted to kill people with a knife.
