The first battalion troops easily solved more than 700 bandits, Huang Gang immediately began to give orders, the first company's machine gun platoon, the second platoon, and the third platoon quickly went to Houzhang Village to pick up the company commander Wen Zihan and the first platoon, and the battalion commander Huang Gang led the first company of machine guns, the second company of infantry, and the third company to Zhangliji.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of August 22, 1938, the troops of the 1st Battalion gathered in Zhangli to defeat the bandit troops led by Zhang Guangtou, and then the troops of the 1st Battalion began to disperse.

The main force of the first battalion was led by the battalion commander Huang Gang to Zhangliji, while the main force of the first company was to rescue the company commander Wen Zihan and the first platoon troops who were trapped in Houzhang Village.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the first battalion captured Zhangliji, and at the same time that the main force of the first battalion captured Zhangliji, the troops of the first company completely surrounded and annihilated more than 100 puppet troops and more than 300 bandits in Houzhang Village.

After Guo Qing, deputy commander of the Second Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, sent over by Guo Qing, the commander of the Second Division of the Imperial Army, learned that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had entered Zhangliji, the troops of the Sixth Regiment immediately began to abandon the operation against Houzhang Village, and the Sixth Regiment of the puppet army quickly returned to the county seat of Linzhang County.

As night fell, the lights began to come on, and in Haowang Village, Linzhang County, Sun Weiguo's headquarters had been formally established here.

Yue Wu, the chief of the Operations Section, walked quickly to Sun Weiguo with a telegram, and Yue Wu's face was full of joy.

"Commander, the independent regiment called, Huang Gang's first battalion has successfully captured Zhangliji, the first battalion has annihilated a total of 15 puppet troops, 732 bandits, and the first battalion has seized a large number of property in Zhangliji, these properties have the ocean, gold, some land deeds and jewelry."

After Yue Wu came to Sun Weiguo, he immediately made a report, and when it came to the harvest of the first battalion, Yue Wu was extremely excited.

"With such a big gain, what are the casualties of the first battalion?" After Sun Weiguo heard this report, he was also slightly surprised.

According to Sun Weiguo's calculations, it would take at least one day for the first battalion to fully grasp the Zhangliji area, but the first battalion completed the combat mission so quickly, which made Sun Weiguo a little stunned, but Sun Weiguo was worried that the first battalion would suffer too many casualties.

"There were no casualties in the first battalion, but more than 70 were wounded." Yue Wu immediately replied.

After hearing this casualty figure, Sun Weiguo was relieved, and he and Zhao Lerong came directly to the map.

The first battalion easily captured Zhangliji and captured a large amount of booty, and Sun Weiguo was naturally happy.

You must know that up to now, the tanks of the armored battalion have not been replenished, and these captured property Sun Weiguo is ready to be divided into three parts, one part will be returned to the people, one part will be handed over, and the remaining part will be used to ask Catherine to buy weapons and ammunition for herself abroad.

Of course, relying solely on seized property may not be enough, and this requires donations from Chen Aihua and other overseas Chinese.

"Commander, the bandit troops are under the combat effectiveness, if they fight a defensive war, they can barely fight with us, but if they fight sports and encounters with us, they will definitely not be our opponents, and the next operations are still suitable for sports and encounters, if we can mobilize the puppet army and bandits, we had better fight ambush warfare, with our current weapons and equipment to fight ambush warfare, it will definitely be a battle with zero casualties."

Zhao Lerong checked all the detailed combat contents of the first battalion sent by the independent regiment, and he learned the true combat effectiveness of the bandits.

After Sun Weiguo heard Zhao Lerong's suggestion, he nodded, and he decided to advance the time for the troops to attack.

After Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong agreed, Sun Weiguo began to send telegrams to various ministries and issued operational orders against the puppet army bandits in Linzhang County.

The combat missions of the various ministries remained unchanged, and Sun Weiguo issued a separate combat order to the cavalry battalion according to the report of the intelligence section.

The cavalry battalion troops should immediately go to Huilong Town, because Sun Weiguo knew that Huilong Town was the nest of the puppet army bandits in Linzhang County, so he wanted to fight back to Longzhen first, so as to mobilize the puppet army bandits in Linzhang County, so as to create favorable fighters for the various departments.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of August 22, 1938, the troops of the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the 3rd Artillery Battalion began to carry out operations against Zhangliji, Coriander Battalion, and Ducunji respectively.

Ge Haifeng's cavalry battalion troops quickly went to Huilong Town to mobilize the puppet army and bandit troops in the county seat of Linzhang County.

In the county seat of Linzhang County, in the headquarters of the First Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, Cheng Wenxuan sat on the wooden Taishi chair, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Originally, according to Cheng Wenxuan's plan, he was going to wait until the Eighth Route Army troops and Guo Qing's troops were defeated, and then he was dealing with the Eighth Route Army troops.

In Cheng Wenxuan's view, Guo Qing's troops and the Eighth Route Army troops are fighting, so even if the Eighth Route Army troops win, their own casualties will be very large, and at that time, they will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate the Eighth Route Army troops.

But what Cheng Wenxuan never dreamed of, hundreds of troops of the Eighth Route Army easily solved more than 1,000 bandits and more than 100 imperial troops in Zhangliji, and there were no major casualties among the troops of the Eighth Route Army, when he knew about it, he immediately ordered his troops to quickly evacuate back.

At this time, Cheng Wenxuan's heart was very complicated, and he didn't know how to deal with the next situation.

The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army troops exceeded Cheng Wenxuan's expectations, even if he still has more than 3,000 puppet troops and thousands of bandits in his hands, but in the face of the Eighth Route Army troops, he has lost confidence.

"You came just in time, Brother Guo Qing, I already know about the things in Zhangliji, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is probably beyond our imagination, if you and I can't fight against the Eighth Route Army with one heart now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to survive this crisis."

When Cheng Wenxuan was in a dilemma, Guo Qing walked in from the outside quickly, and before Guo Qing could walk in, Cheng Wenxuan walked out and said.

Since becoming the deputy commander of the First Division of the Imperial Army, Cheng Wenxuan has settled his home in the county seat of Linzhang County, and he has lived a free life in the county.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army are coming, and Cheng Wenxuan knows that if he can't defeat the troops of the Eighth Route Army, then his free days will come to an end.

And once the troops of the Eighth Route Army conquer the county seat of Linzhang County, then all his property in Linzhang County will become the spoils of the Eighth Route Army, which Cheng Wenxuan does not want to see.

If Cheng Wenxuan didn't care about uniting with Guo Qing against the Eighth Route Army before, but now Cheng Wenxuan is willingly united with Cheng Wenxuan.
