Loufan County, South City Gate, stationed here at the South City Gate is Fu Tao's second battalion.

In the previous battle to garrison the North City Gate, the second battalion paid a lot of casualties, Sun Weiguo let the second battalion garrison here, but also to give them a chance to rest, at present, Yin Jin's first battalion and the first and second squadrons have also come to the south gate to rest.

After Sun Weiguo consulted with the remnants of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons were all added to the 1st and 2nd Battalions, but at present these two battalions only maintain four companies.

Yin Jin and Fu Tao are both Sun Weiguo's old subordinates, and they will not have any objections to Sun Weiguo's arrangement.

After Sun Weiguo discussed with Yin Jin and Fu Tao, the troops were given priority to be replenished into the first battalion, that is to say, Yin Jin's first battalion is currently under the jurisdiction of three complete infantry companies that have just been replenished.

"Staff Officer Fan, I really didn't expect that you would come to fight with us."

A squad leader of the second battalion looked at Fan Shuming beside him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly.

Fan Shuming is not to be seen in the regiment headquarters, and almost all the personnel of the regiment headquarters and the commanders of each battalion are clear about his affairs, just to not affect the morale of the troops, and because there is no ironclad evidence for the time being, the low-level officers and soldiers do not know about Fan Shuming's affairs.

Originally, Sun Weiguo planned to send Fan Shuming to fight at the East City Gate or the North City Gate, but after Shen Wei's persuasion, Sun Weiguo finally sent him to the South City Gate, and the soldiers of the two regimental headquarters companies only followed Fan Shuming's side.

As long as Fan Shuming had any abnormal behavior, these two fighters could kill Fan Shuming on the spot.

"The troops of the Eighth Route Army have always been equal from top to bottom, so I can naturally appear here. By the way, I just saw the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander walking towards the north of the city, where are they going? ”

Fan Shuming looked at the squad leader beside him, and he said casually.

Before the Japanese army shelled the county seat, Fan Shuming saw that the position of the regiment headquarters was attacked by shells, and he knew very well that his intelligence network had begun to spread the news, but now he couldn't leave here, and he didn't know whether Sun Weiguo and others were killed.

He couldn't find out in person, he could only find out through these ordinary soldiers.

"I went to the regiment headquarters, you don't know it yet, the regiment commander organized a counterattack, those Jin Sui army troops obediently obeyed the command of the regiment commander, I heard that the counterattack won a battle, you listen, now there is no sound of guns, the little devils are scared, they dare not attack."

The squad leader took out a cigarette, he put it on his nose and sniffed it gently, he said proudly.

In the eyes of the squad leader, those Jin Sui troops are all descendants of Yan Xishan, and it is even more difficult for the officers of the Eighth Route Army to command them than to ascend to the sky.

But now, the troops of the Jin Sui army obediently obeyed Sun Weiguo's command, which made him very proud and proud.

When Fan Shuming heard the squad leader's words, his brows furrowed slightly, although he had a smile on his face, his heart was full of resentment.

"Sun Weiguo, don't be complacent, I didn't kill you this time, I will kill you sooner or later." Fan Shuming muttered to himself in his heart.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army did not attack, Sun Weiguo summoned the commanders of each battalion to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

The three battalion commanders of the 1st Reserve Regiment, as well as the commander and three battalion commanders of the 1st Independent Regiment, all came to the regimental headquarters of the 1st Reserve Regiment.

Previously, the regiment headquarters was located in the center of the county, but at present, Sun Weiguo has transferred the regiment headquarters to Beicheng District.

After the officers came to the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo first affirmed the officers' previous operations.

Especially for the operations of the 1st Independent Regiment and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, Sun Weiguo said that he would ask for credit for them.

After Sun Weiguo's words of encouragement and commendation, Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong began to pick up the baton under Sun Weiguo's eyes.

"According to the information we have, there are currently two Japanese infantry brigades here at the East City Gate, but these two infantry brigades have relatively large casualties, and they can only exert the combat effectiveness of one infantry brigade at most, and the Japanese army's wing headquarters is likely to still be in Hongyatou Village, where a Japanese infantry brigade should be stationed, that is to say, at present, here at the East City Gate, the strength of the Japanese army is equivalent to two infantry brigades."

"There are two infantry brigades and one artillery brigade of the Japanese army here at the North City Gate, and this is the focus of the Japanese attack. However, after our counterattack, the two Japanese infantry brigades suffered considerable losses, they only had more than 1,000 troops, and their artillery brigade had been defeated by us, and twelve mountain guns were being transported back to the city. ”

"There is a cavalry wing of the Japanese army here in Xicheng, they have been roaming around, and according to our judgment, this Japanese army should want to cut off our back route to Lanxian. After the decision of the regimental headquarters, we decided to crush the Japanese cavalry wing and withdraw the troops to Lanxian. ”

Zhao Lerong held the baton, he kept pointing to Lou Fan County on the map, and said in a calm tone.

As soon as his words fell, Tang Chunhua and Commander Li of the Third Cavalry Regiment showed stunned expressions on their faces, and the two of them immediately began to express their positions.

"Chief of Staff Zhao, you're not joking, although we won the counterattack just now, the cavalry wing of the little devils has not suffered any blows, and if we want to defeat them, it is simply impossible."

Tang Chunhua looked at Zhao Lerong, with a stunned expression on his face, and said with a look of disbelief.

"Even if all the troops of my 3rd Cavalry Regiment are here, it is impossible for us to defeat a cavalry wing of the Japanese army. Chief of Staff Zhao, don't be joking, not to mention that once we evacuate Loufan County, the Japanese army will definitely immediately press over and pursue us. ”

Head Li also shook his head, he said with a questioning face, he felt that Zhao Lerong's plan was completely risky.

"This plan was decided by the regimental headquarters, and you can reserve your opinions, but you still have to carry out the orders of the regimental headquarters. Staff Officer Tang, Chief Yan has given me a certain amount of power, and I will command this operation, so you can just listen from the sidelines, so you don't have to express any opinions. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Tang Chunhua, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a calm tone.

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Tang Chunhua lowered his head and was silent, he naturally knew that Yan Xishan had given Sun Weiguo a lot of power.

What Sun Weiguo wanted to do, the Jin Suijun troops could only cooperate, even if Tang Chunhua was unwilling, he had no choice.

As for Commander Li, his troops have already been dispersed, not to mention what Staff Officer Tang has no way to do, and he has no way to solve it.
