Nanbatian went and returned, and he found a Japanese translator from the Feicheng gendarmerie.

When Nan Batian asked to see him, Anda was struggling to take over the strongholds on both sides of the Feiwu Highway.

Originally, the Feicheng Garrison Brigade did not need to be responsible for the safety of the Feibang Highway and the Feiwu Highway, and the safety of these two highways had always been the responsibility of the troops of the 9th Division and the 13th Division.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Feicheng Garrison Brigade only needs to be responsible for the security of Feicheng and the surrounding strongholds, of course, there is also a very important task is to collect grain, go to the counties, townships, and villages around Feicheng to collect food and food, and supply the needs of the troops fighting on the front line, because there is no food in Japan to adjust.

However, now, with the main forces of the 9th and 13th Divisions moving northward, it is no longer enough to ensure the safety along the highway with only a small number of troops, especially since the four detachments of the New Fourth Army have just captured Lujiang and Wuwei counties, which have already posed a serious threat to the various strongholds along the Feiwu Highway.

Under such circumstances, it is urgent to strengthen the security of the strongholds along the Feiwu Highway.

As a result, Tsukada Tsukashi, who temporarily assumed the duties and powers of the commander of the Central China Front, ordered the Feicheng Garrison Brigade to dedicate a part of its forces to the strongholds along the Feiwu Highway to strengthen its defenses.

Anta is struggling with how to move troops.

The Feicheng Garrison Brigade has five infantry brigades, except for the 1st Infantry Brigade stationed in Feicheng, the remaining four infantry brigades are stationed in four large strongholds around Feicheng, but the four large strongholds are only less than ten miles away from Feicheng, and it only takes half an hour to rush back to Feicheng.

The initial decision was made to draw one infantry squadron from each of the five infantry battalions to augment the various strongholds along the Feiwu Highway, but with only five infantry squadrons, he was afraid that he would not be able to solve the problem fundamentally.

Because there are about 20 large and small strongholds along the Feiwu Highway, five infantry squadrons look like a lot, but if you go to more than 20 strongholds, each stronghold is also a group, because you still have to set aside a considerable part of the troops as a support team, and you can't distribute all the troops evenly among each stronghold.

Therefore, in addition to the Japanese army, a considerable number of puppet troops must be selected to strengthen the defense of each stronghold.

Huang Shouyi's fourth regiment is the most reliable in the entire garrison division, but it is also the worst in combat effectiveness, sending the fourth regiment will not only fail to strengthen the defense of each stronghold, but I am afraid that it will become a drag on the Japanese army.

Luo Feng's three regiments are quite strong in combat effectiveness, but in terms of loyalty, it is difficult to rest assured, Anda is too worried, once the three regiments are released, they are afraid that they will not be able to take it back, maybe the four detachments of the New Fourth Army did not come, but let the three regiments cut off the lifeline of the Feiqi Highway, which will be a big trouble.

After thinking about it again and again, it seems that it can only be transferred from the First Brigade of Nanbatian.

But the first brigade of Nanbatian was originally small, and after a regiment was transferred, the strength was even less, and it was not enough to balance Luo Feng's second brigade, it seemed that it was indeed necessary to expand the first brigade, anyway, the vast occupied area was in an emergency everywhere, and the Japanese army alone was no longer enough to maintain law and order, and it was imperative to expand the Imperial Allied Army.

As soon as Anda was thinking about it, the adjutant came in and reported that Nan Batian had asked to see him.

Anda Wingman then instructed the adjutant to invite Nan Batian in, and after a while, Nan Batian came in, nodded and said Taisang.

Anda waved his hand and said, "Nansang, you came just in time, I have something I want to tell you. ”

"Taisang, please speak, listen to me." After a few months of training, Nan Batian has become more and more accustomed to nodding his head and waist, but in his heart, it is not the case at all.

"That's right, Nan-san, your first brigade has always performed very well, when Kawaguchi-san was there, he trusted you very much, and I actually trusted you too, so I decided to give you an important task, I hope you can draw a regiment from the first brigade to strengthen the defense of the strongholds along the Feiwu highway."

Speaking of this, Anda paused for a moment before continuing: "Nansang, you should know very well that I will never be able to entrust such an important task as garrisoning strongholds along the highway to ordinary troops, which also shows how much I attach importance to your First Brigade, and you must not disappoint me." ”

After listening to the translator's translation, Nan Batian's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd face.

I say your sister, what trust, what is important, who doesn't know that the four detachments of the New Fourth Army have just attacked Lujiang and Chaoxian counties, and now the soldiers have pointed directly at the various strongholds along the Feiwu Highway, and now send them a brigade to defend the strongholds, that is, let them go to death, to be cannon fodder, the dog said!

What's more, the independent regiment is about to attack Feicheng, and it is the time when they urgently need the help of their first brigade, at this time, a regiment is transferred from the first brigade to enrich the various strongholds along the Feiwu Highway. What can I do if the big thing of the head of the regiment is broken?

At that moment, Nan Batian said with a bitter face: "Taisang, this is not appropriate, right?" If we want to say that there are many people, the second brigade has a lot more people than our first brigade, and if we want to say that the combat effectiveness is strong, the combat effectiveness of the second brigade and the third regiment is recognized as the first in the whole division, so why can't our first brigade take on such an important task? ”

After listening to the translation, Anda said, "Nansang, you disappointed me too much when you said that. ”

Disappointed, Nan Batian cursed viciously in his heart, but on the surface, he said with a flattering face: "It's not impossible for Taisang to transfer troops from the first brigade, it's just that our first brigade has a small number of troops, and this guy has transferred a regiment of troops, isn't it even less, so Taisang, look, can you recruit some troops?" ”

"Recruitment?" Hearing this, Anda Wing Tai smiled slightly, this was originally a sweet date that was prepared to be given to Nan Batian, and he nodded happily and said, "This is a trivial matter, you can just do it yourself, but I have to state in advance that the imperial army can provide weapons and equipment, and you have to find a way to solve it yourself." ”

"Hay, Hay, I understand." Nan Batian's wish was fulfilled, and he nodded again and again.

After sending off Nanbatian, Anda asked the adjutant to call the four large strongholds around Feicheng, and at the same time notified the 1st Infantry Brigade stationed in the north of the city to let the five captains come to the headquarters for a meeting to arrange the dispatch of troops.

(Dividing Line)

After entering Feicheng, Xu Rui and the Wolf Tooth Team did not go to the traffic station of the party organization, nor did they go to the fortress household, but hid directly in Nan Batian's house, it was daytime at the moment, and it was not suitable for outdoor activities, so the members of the Wolf Tooth Team were hurrying to sleep and recuperate.

Xu Rui is no exception, even if he is a genetically modified person, he still needs to rest.

It's just that the subtle sound made by Nan Batian when he came back still woke Xu Rui up.

Xu Rui went out quietly, without alarming the sleeping team members, and then stopped Nan Batian in the courtyard.

"Commander, are you going to get up?" Nan Batian knew the Wolf Tooth Squad's style of going out day and night, so he was a little surprised and said, "It's still a few hours before dark." ”

"Can't sleep." Xu Rui said a sentence, and then asked, "What did Mrs. Anda say about the expansion?" ”

"Anda agreed to this." Nan Batian nodded, and said, "But there is a moth." ”

"Moth?" Xu Rui's heart froze, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Nanba Tiandao: "Anda will transfer a regiment from the First Brigade to strengthen the strongholds along the Feiwu Highway, so that there will be fewer troops who can participate in the operation. ”

"That's right." Xu Rui immediately frowned when he heard this.

The fact that Anda was too far away from the first brigade of the puppet army to strengthen the strongholds along the Feiwu Highway is nothing in itself, because now the Feiwu Highway is indeed facing a serious threat from the four detachments, and strengthening the defense of the strongholds along the highway is also a matter of course, Xu Rui is worried that after the first brigade is taken away by a regiment, the chances of winning the battle in Feicheng will be at least two points smaller!

The composition of the first brigade of the puppet army is complex, there are bandits, homeless people, security regiments and even Huidaomen armed forces, and its combat effectiveness is also uneven, but no matter what, there are more than 4,000 people, and they can never be counted on to fight a tough battle, but when the independent regiment opens up the situation and lets them fight a good battle, its destructive power is absolutely not to be underestimated!

But now that a guy has let Anda Wingtai drain half of his troops, his destructive power will be dwarfed by much, and the reinforcements of the four detachments will not be able to arrive so quickly, and the one to two hours in between will depend on the independent regiment itself, and the independent regiment only has less than three battalions of troops, and it is too much pressure to eliminate the remnants of the devils in the city and resist the devil reinforcements from various strongholds outside the city.

If you are not careful, the independent regiment may really be handed over to Feicheng!

In addition, Xu Rui has another layer of worry, after the first brigade transferred a regiment, Nan Batian secretly moved the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment into Feicheng in the name of recruitment, but the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment of nearly 1,000 people are incompatible with the rest of the puppet army regardless of physical condition or momentum and temperament.

At this time, how to hide people's eyes and how to keep it secret is also a big problem.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Rui suddenly said, "It seems that it is necessary to contact Luo Feng." ”

"Contact Luo Feng?" Nan Ba Tiandao, "Commander, wouldn't this be too risky?" If Luo Feng really voted for the little devil with all his heart, wouldn't it be troublesome? ”

"It's okay, I know it." Xu Rui waved his hand, and said, "Just take this opportunity to contact Luo Feng, if he is really a hardcore traitor, then take the opportunity to kill him, first muddy the water in Feicheng, and spoil the matter of Anda Wingtai sending troops to reinforce the strongholds along the Feiwu Highway, if he is not a traitor, hehe, then we have a greater hope of taking Feicheng in this battle!" ”
