The command of the First Army of the Japanese army quickly issued an order, and the Japanese troops in Shanxi Province began to carry out it overnight.

An infantry wing and a cavalry wing of the Fifth Division quickly returned to the formation of the Fifth Division, the reinforcements of the 20th Division also quickly returned to their original positions, the headquarters of the 40th Brigade was relocated to Shouyang County, and the 79th Wing was stationed in Pingding County, Xiyang County and other places.

At the same time, here in Pingding County, the 79th Wing was stationed in the first brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness, and at the same time, the rest of the auxiliary forces arranged by the headquarters of the First Army also quickly rushed to Pingding County.

An infantry brigade, a mortar brigade, an armored vehicle brigade, a tank squadron, and when the order was given, the chief of staff of the First Army, Hashimoto Group, after consulting the commander of the First Army, Kiyoshi Kazuki, also sent a puppet infantry regiment of a certain unit of the newly surrendered Northwest Army to Binh Dinh County to garrison.

The 20th Division Headquarters issued instructions to set up a garrison headquarters in Binh Dinh County with the designated garrison of the First Army, and Kawagishi Fumizaburo took Takano Shuichi, the captain of the Nakasa Brigade of the First Brigade, as the garrison commander, responsible for the unified command of the Japanese puppet army troops.

At the same time, in Xiyang County, which is closest to Pingding County, there are the headquarters of the 79th Wing of the Japanese Army and the second brigade of the 79th Wing, and Yangquan County, which is also not far from Xiyang County, is garrisoned by the division headquarters of the 20th Division, and the Japanese army can be said to have carried out a key defense of Pingding County.

The Japanese troops adjusted their deployment overnight, and they also gave up monitoring the village of Nanzhuang.

When Sun Weiguo arrived at one o'clock in the morning, he asked Zhang Dajun to return to Nanzhuang Village with the reconnaissance team first.

After the reconnaissance team conducted a careful reconnaissance of the vicinity of Nanzhuang Village and determined that all the Japanese troops had withdrawn, Sun Weiguo let the soldiers of the county brigade and the people return to Nanzhuang Village.

However, in order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Nanzhuang Village, he sent the reconnaissance squad to Chengguan Town to conduct reconnaissance, and at the same time, the troops of the cavalry battalion were also scattered around Nanzhuang Village.

When they came to the top of Nanzhuang Village again, the faces of the military families became pale, and they looked at Nanzhuang Village in front of them and couldn't help but shed tears.

Even veterans who have experienced life-and-death battles, seeing Nanzhuang Village completely bombed into ruins, they feel very uncomfortable.

Zhong Jian's brows furrowed tightly, he didn't speak with a blushing face, but his eyes were extremely annoyed.

Even the political commissar Shen Wei couldn't help but clench her fists, and a solemn expression appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

"Comrades, this is war, war is cruel, especially in the face of inhumane Japanese beasts, war is even more cruel. We will sacrifice a lot of people, and our homes will be destroyed many times.

But the little devils think that their slaughter will make us afraid, and their destruction will make us lose the confidence to resist, then it is very wrong, how many people we die, we will still fight, our homes are destroyed, we rebuild, we will continue to resist. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at the soldiers and seemed to be affected emotionally, and he was very worried that the destruction of Nanzhuang Village by the devil soldiers would hit the confidence of the soldiers.

He stood up with the support of Wang Erzhu and others, Sun Weiguo looked at the soldiers and military families, and he said in a solemn tone.

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, the soldiers and military families, their eyes looked at Sun Weiguo at the same time.

"The battalion commander is right, the little devils think that if we destroy our homes and slaughter our relatives, we will be afraid. But we are not afraid, as long as the little devils are in our land, we will fight them to the death. One of the fighters raised his arms and shouted.

"Expel the Japanese and return my mountains and rivers! Resist the war to the end, unswervingly! ”

Sun Weiguo roared loudly, his eyes obviously with murderous intent.

In the past, Sun Weiguo knew how cruel the devil soldiers were, but when he came to this era of the Anti-Japanese War, he saw the cruelty of the devil soldiers with his own eyes, these are two different concepts.

No one can imagine the anger in Sun Weiguo's heart when he watched the innocent people being slaughtered by the devil soldiers, and no one could understand Sun Weiguo's helplessness when he saw his home being destroyed by the devil soldiers again and again.

The devil soldiers are simply a group of beasts in human skin, and they no longer have the last bit of conscience of human beings.

They can do anything, but they will never know that they will not bring the resisting soldiers to their knees.

The soldiers know what the devil soldiers do, and they will fight the devil soldiers more firmly until the last breath.

"Expel the Japanese and return my mountains and rivers! Resist the war to the end, unswervingly! The soldiers and their families shouted loudly.

The warriors who had begun to have emotions instantly regained their confidence, and they formed various moods into flames of revenge.

If your home is destroyed, you can re-establish it, and as long as you are alive, you must fight the devil soldiers to the end.

The fighters began to enter the village of Nanzhuang, where they began to sort out the houses that had been bombed into ruins.

The military families waited, and some young women began to enter the village to rest.

Some skilled fighters built makeshift houses out of simple timber for the wounded to rest.

Because it was the end of December, and the night was very cold, Sun Weiguo didn't care so much, he began to let the soldiers light the fire, and as the matches burned, the air became warmer.

Liu Qian, her father and the doctors of the military sub-district checked on the wounded, the soldiers sorted out Nanzhuang Village, and the military families began to make hot millet porridge.

Sun Weiguo lay on the marching bed, he was close to the fire.

Looking at the burning flames, Sun Weiguo's face was flushed.

"Commissar, see if we can make some armbands." Sun Weiguo saw Shen Wei coming over, and he said softly.

"Armbands? The armband of the Eighth Route Army? Shen Wei said suspiciously.

"The number and position of the unit can be indicated by the badge, and the armband I plan to make does not write eight roads, but other four words."

Sun Weiguo shook his head, the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army all have armbands, but the armbands are only marked with the word "Eighth Road".

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Shen Wei had a puzzled expression on her face, she didn't know which four words Sun Weiguo wanted to use to write on the armband.

"Weiguo, what four words are you going to write on the armband, do you want to ask the chief for this matter?" Shen Wei said with some embarrassment.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army all have uniform dress requirements, and even people like Vice Chairman Zhou and others have to wear standard military uniforms with military ranks.

Although the county brigade belongs to the local armed forces, Sun Weiguo asked for a unified gray military uniform from the military subdivision.

If they engage in specialization, it will inevitably have a bad impact, and Shen Wei can't agree to it at will.

"Give me back the mountains and rivers, write these four words on the armband, you do this matter first, and I will ask the chief for instructions." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone, this was the first time he had almost explained to Shen Wei in a commanding tone.
