The air of despair spread to the battlefield of the Japanese army.

Although the little devil is ready for the annihilation of the whole army and the idea of fighting to the death, ...... Really when the soldiers of the Ninth War Zone rushed up, this group of little devils still showed desperate looks on their faces.

The garrison troops of the Japanese army's current defense line saw the attacking soldiers rushing up, but in a short period of time, a gap had been torn open, and all the nearby soldiers were killed.

The attacking troops did not pursue, but firmly held the current defense line of the battle situation, wiped out all the stubborn Japanese troops, and then built a defensive front, and then waited for the arrival of the large army.

At present, it is the most critical time, and there is no need for the Ninth Theater to rush forward, what they should do is to fight steadily and steadily, further compress the scope of the Japanese army's activities, and firmly suppress them, so as not to give them a chance to breathe.

As long as this can be done, the Japanese army will be defeated!

What's more, in this way, it can also reduce their losses - although General Xue Yue has issued an order to attack at all costs, the damage that can be avoided still needs to be avoided, and fearless casualties should not be made.

The battle continues under such circumstances.

Just when the battlefield on the front line was still scorching, at this moment, a brigade commander in a brigade of the Eighth Route Army base in Central China was receiving several guests.

"Brother Luo, Commander Liu, welcome! You are welcome to come, this is really making our trip shine! An officer in a black coat with two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army said with a laugh.

In front of him, there is a team of more than a dozen cavalry, and if Chen Qingzhi is here, I am afraid that he will be able to recognize them at first sight, these two people are Luo Cheng and Liu Zhiyu!

The people who came were none other than Liu Zhiyu, commander of the Seventh Column in the Hunan and Jiangxi regions, and Luo Cheng, chief of staff.

After obtaining the permission of the superior leaders in Yan'an, the two immediately mobilized the seventh column to prepare for the march, while the commander and chief of staff came to Central China in advance to connect with the local Eighth Route Army troops to discuss the strategy after the joint force.

After they came to Central China, their first stop was here.

Hearing the words of the brigade commander at this moment, Liu Zhiyu and Luo Cheng dismounted one after another, and then greeted them with a smile.

Liu Zhiyu hugged the other party even more heartily, and then laughed and said: "Okay, you old Chen, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still a crepe!" I don't know you old boy? That's a big word and I don't know a basket, now give me a bite to chew the words to show that your old Chen is educated, isn't it? ”

As soon as these words came out, if they were placed on someone who was not very familiar, I am afraid that they would immediately feel a little unhappy in their hearts, but this Lao Chen was not annoyed, but excitedly punched Liu Zhiyu in the chest, and laughed: "Your old Liu is not bad!" Now it's all mixed up with the commander of the column! If you really talk about it, I'll call you a sir when we meet! ”

"you!" Liu Zhiyu scolded with a smile.

The two of them said some words as if they had been separated for a long time, many of which were mockery, although the two were not annoyed, the guards and soldiers brought by Luo Cheng and Lao Chen were all frowning.

"Although it has been a long time since we have been apart, Lao Liu has been so bad as soon as they meet, in case it is ......" Luo Cheng thought with some worry in his heart.

And the two guards also looked at Luo Cheng and Liu Zhiyu vigilantly, especially Liu Zhiyu, watching him taunt and attack his brigade commander from time to time, and even constantly taunt and dig up the roots, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

It seemed that he sensed that something was wrong with this situation, Liu Zhiyu came to his senses, and then hurriedly put his arm around Lao Chen's shoulders and said to Luo Cheng: "Lao Luo, let me introduce you!" ”

"This is Lao Chen, Chen Er's fool, a veteran of our Red Army's Long March, when I was a platoon commander in the past, this kid was my platoon deputy, and he had a lifelong friendship!" Liu Zhiyu said with a smile.

"You're only two fools, and your whole family is two fools!" Lao Chen scolded with a smile, and then said to Luo Cheng: "Brother Luo Cheng, don't listen to Lao Liu's nonsense, he is the second fool, my name is Chen Erzhuang, and I am now the brigade commander of our base area!" ”

"Hello Brigade Commander Chen!" Luo Cheng said with a smile, and then shook hands with Chen Erzhuang.

He can only see it now, no wonder Liu Zhiyu and Chen Erzhuang lost each other as soon as they met, it turned out that they were both old comrades of the Long March, and they were all lifelong friendships.

He understands this kind of friendship.

That's how I was completely relieved.

"Come on, let's stop standing stupidly, go in first, let's go in and talk in detail! I heard that you are coming, and I have been ready for a long time, although there is nothing else, but I am sure that I will not be able to treat you badly! Brigade Commander Chen said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's get inside! I rushed over all the way, ate dry food every day, and the bird had already faded out of my mouth! Liu Zhiyu hurriedly urged.

The group all went in, and the other soldiers were all arranged by Brigade Commander Chen to eat, but Liu Zhiyu and Luo Cheng were called into the house by Brigade Commander Chen and made a small stove.

Brigade Commander Chen called his chief of staff to accompany him, and the four of them gathered in a circle and did so.

"Wow! Lao Chen, you can do it! I didn't expect to see you for a few years, but you're really rich! Seeing the things on the table, Liu Zhiyu was suddenly surprised.

In addition to meat, there are also seized canned fruits, canned meat, canned fish, and even foreign wine and cigarettes on the table, which clearly means that he has become rich.

"Hehe...... "Hearing Liu Zhiyu's words, Chen Erzhuang said a little proudly: "That's!" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, although I am only a brigade now, I have three infantry regiments, a cavalry battalion and even an artillery company, adding up to more than 5,000 people, most of them are 38 big covers, and a small number of medium formal, big swords and spears have basically been eliminated, and even Hanyang has been assigned to the militia by us!"

"In addition, there are dozens of light and heavy machine guns, more than 20 large and small mortars and grenadiers, and even the radio station is about to be rationed to the battalion level!"

Chen Erzhuang took a sip of wine, with a blush on his face, and there was a sense of pride in his speech, full of wealth.

And hearing Chen Erzhuang's words, Liu Zhiyu and Luo Cheng were really moved.

I couldn't help but glance at each other for a while, and they all saw a touch of shock in each other's eyes.

"I said Chen Er is a fool, you kid is really a rich man! Obediently, even the cavalry battalion and artillery company have been pulled up by you, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, this is so fucking rich! Liu Zhiyu said with some amazement.

He never imagined that Chen Erzhuang's troops were so well-equipped!
