"Sir, a telegram from the Eighth Route Army" Zhao Zhizheng was mixed in the crowd to help move a big tree that had just been cut down and put down, and Luo Ying ran to deliver a telegram to him. This is Xiaji Village, more than 70 miles away from Pingyao, and this little-known Xiaji Village is the road to Lüliang 5 miles to the west, where Zhao Zhi decided to wait to ambush the mixed Japanese puppet army from Lüliang.

"The Eighth Route Army is treating us as the second junior in the hall, and the dirty work is tiring and stuffing us here" Tang Lei and Xiao Ziyun leaned over and read the telegram, they all put on an ugly face, especially Tang Lei was extremely unhappy, "That Niu Dashan swallowed our spoils, not to mention, sir, you also persuaded them to give up the county, but he didn't listen." Our side is ready to meet the Japanese army in Luliang, more than 7,000 days of puppet army is not a small number, we still have extra manpower there to help them return to Ding'an? ”

"I said yes, don't look at the more than 6,000 people after we join forces now, but Hanks's 4,000 people are only the first time to fight against the Japanese army, and our 2,000 people from Wuxiang still need time to rest and recover their strength and state, our current situation is not at all advantageous against the mixed Japanese puppet army that came over from Luliang, Hanks hates to break his soldiers and use them as two people, where do we have extra manpower to transfer to Ding'an to help Niu Dashan defend the city" Xiao Ziyun was naturally unwilling to help the Eighth Route Army do things.

Zhao Zhi just looked at the telegram, but didn't say anything, the big war was imminent, and it was true that he couldn't spare troops to support Niu Dashan's independent regiment, and now it was not only Zhao Zhi in Pingyao who was closest to Ding'an, but also the base of the Eighth Route Army in Jindong. Isn't Niu Dashan's company from the Jindong base area of the Eighth Route Army, why didn't they directly transfer troops from the base area to support Ding'an, or did they have to send troops to help Niu Dashan defend the city and train soldiers, it was really redundant.

In fact, Zhao Zhi didn't speak for another reason, he persuaded Niu Dashan to give up holding on to Ding'an City, it was just out of respect for the anti-Japanese armed forces, but after Niu Dashan strongly rejected his persuasion, Zhao Zhi hoped that Niu Dashan could take the independent regiment to stick to Ding'an City. Among the two Japanese puppet army units from Lüliang and Jinzhong, Zhao Zhi could only choose to meet the mixed Japanese puppet army in Lüliang, and Niu Dashan's insistence on Ding'an City would share some of the attention of the Japanese army for Zhao Zhi to a certain extent.

If Niu Dashan's independent regiment insisted on pulling the banner in Ding'an City, maybe the Japanese troops who came from Jinzhong would not go to Pingyao, but would directly divert from Taigu to Ding'an, so Zhao Zhi at this time suddenly regretted that he should not say anything to stop Niu Dashan from sticking to Ding'an City. "Call back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, our department is repairing, coupled with the lack of weapons and ammunition, there is no possibility of a firefight with the Japanese army for the time being, and let them make their own decisions about the matter of Ding'an" Zhao Zhi had already planned to let Niu Dashan's independent regiment act as the bait, so he did not agree to send troops to help Niu Dashan.

"Ziyun, you immediately order someone to send a report to the military commander, and ask them to hand the news of the Eighth Route Army's formation of an independent regiment in Ding'an to the Japanese army in Jinzhong, it is best to say that the number of independent regiments in Niu Dashan is 2,000 people" called Xiao Ziyun, Zhao Zhi whispered a few words, this matter can only be handed over to Xiao Ziyun to do, and Zhao Zhi believes in Xiao Ziyun's IQ, he must be able to guess so much of his intentions, "I know, I'll do it right away" Xiao Ziyun really guessed Zhao Zhi's intentions, and turned around and left slightly. It's just that the Japanese puppet army in Luliang has more than 7,000 people, and only 2,000 of the 6,000 people in Zhao Zhi's hands have experienced wars, and Hanks's 4,000 people are still some newcomers.

"Sir, you're really not authentic, I can now understand why you left the weapons and ammunition we seized to Niu Dashan, that idiot, dare to love that it was used to tie Niu Dashan to the rope circle in Ding'an" Tang Lei rolled his eyes at Zhao Zhi without any scruples. No wonder Niu Dashan didn't say anything when they sealed those trophies, not only that, but Zhao Zhi also swept away all the mules and horses in Ding'an City on the grounds of transporting the wounded, which was originally to cut off Niu Dashan's idea of carrying those weapons and ammunition.

Niu Dashan has only one company of soldiers in his hands, there are no mules and horses, and he can't take away those weapons and ammunition just by people. The people of the Eighth Route Army were poor and afraid, and they got so many weapons and equipment at once, it is estimated that the commander of the Eighth Route Army went to Ding'an City, and Niu Dashan would not leave.

"Deputy Commander, Ding'an called back, Niu Dashan refused to withdraw from Ding'an City" Niu Dashan's telegram of disobedience was finally sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, in the telegram, Niu Dashan also explained the reasons for his disobedience, as for the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army who did not agree with his remarks, that is another matter.

"What is this Niu Dashan doing? He really thought that he could defend Ding'an City with the independent regiment he had just reorganized, it was ridiculous, it was just nonsense" Zuo Quan was very annoyed, and slapped the telegram in his hand on the table. He knows the combat power of Thunder, the troops with such combat power as Thunder have all chosen to evacuate Ding'an, what kind of ability is he Niu Dashan, he dares to shout that he can hold Ding'an, don't you know that the Japanese army has mobilized troops from Jinzhong to go south to Ding'an?

"Then give Ding'an a report, order Niu Dashan to withdraw from Ding'an City immediately with the independent regiment, if he can't rush to the Jindong base within four days, his regiment commander will stop doing it, and go back to the headquarters for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is still short of a horseman to feed the horses" Peng Dehuai was also angry. As soon as Niu Dashan became the commander of an independent regiment from the company commander, he dared to start negotiating conditions with the headquarters and pulling sheepskins; if every military cadre of the Eighth Route Army negotiated conditions with the headquarters in this way, then the Eighth Route Army would not fight this battle in the future.

The harshly worded order was sent to Ding'an City, and it arrived in Niu Dashan's hands in a few moments, and the signature of this telegram was Peng Dehuai, and the content and tone of the telegram made Niu Dashan quickly summon his battalion and company commanders to come over and discuss countermeasures. "Commander, in my opinion, let's withdraw according to the order of the headquarters. If you look at the fact that it has only been half a day, the headquarters has sent two telegrams in a row ordering us to withdraw from Ding'an, and besides, our independent regiment really needs training and rest."

A battalion commander under Niu Dashan told the problems of the independent regiment in a matter-of-fact manner, but unfortunately most of the people in the independent regiment have been carried away by the successive victories of the Japanese army, and they have forgotten that these victories are all made by thunder, and the slightest relationship with them is at most to pick up a bargain on the cross slope, so after the battalion commander's words came out, most of the battalion company commanders who were called to the meeting looked sideways and looked at each other sideways.

"Regiment leader, I see that the headquarters is in a hurry to transfer us back to the base area, and Zhao Zhi, who must be thundering, said strange things at the headquarters, it is nothing more than that we sealed all the loot so that Zhao Zhi could not come to the stage, he wanted to use the hands of the headquarters to clean us up. The other may also be for this batch of trophies, I heard that the headquarters has begun to form a new unit, and the weapons and ammunition in our hands are enough to arm more than 4,000 people, such a big piece of fat, how can those people at the headquarters let it go" The guy who thought he had analyzed it was in place was a little proud, but he didn't know that the other people also rewarded him with a roll of the eyes.

", you don't talk about other people's thunder and Mr. Zhao, when the first fight started, we and people Thunder just said okay, heavy weapons belong to them, light weapons belong to us, seal all weapons and ammunition, we are not authentic, we are already lucky that people Thunder didn't take it on the spot, you really don't take Thunder's people seriously? If you have the ability, why don't you say in front of Zhao Zhi, "Niu Dashan didn't give the company commander who spoke just now a good look, before the formation of the independent regiment, this kid was just a platoon commander, and his tone became a lot bigger after he was promoted, and he didn't even blink an eye when talking about other people's thunder."

"Then what do you say we should do? Obediently return to the base area according to the orders of the headquarters, what should Ding'an City do? Don't want such a good situation? Niu Mingshan, the commander of the first battalion under Niu Dashan, also agreed with the resolution of holding Ding'an City and taking the opportunity to expand the area controlled by the independent regiment and unite with the Jindong base area. After the thunder defeated the ghost brigade, the area around Ding'an was searched and cleaned up, and the anti-Japanese armed forces active in this area also carried out corresponding encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Japanese puppet army.

"Call the headquarters again and ask the headquarters to consider the independent regiment staying in Ding'an" After weighing it again, Niu Dashan made a decision, as Niu Mingshan said just now, it is a pity to give up Ding'an now. "By the way, let our vigilant troops out, guard the areas around Ding'an, once you find traces of the Japanese puppet army, you must immediately send back the news" Niu Dashan did not take Zhao Zhi's advice seriously, he just overestimated the combat effectiveness of his independent regiment, but this does not mean that Niu Dashan is a stubborn person.

"Deputy commander, the telegram just sent by Lei Ting, they said that Lei Ting has just experienced continuous combat, the soldiers have a lot of physical exertion, they need to rest and rest, and they have insufficient ammunition in their hands, and the matter of Ding'an is best handled by ourselves" The telegram sent by Lei Ting made Peng Dehuai and their people in the command department a little confused.

"Don't guess, people don't want to go to the troubled waters of Ding'an City, Zhao Zhi is not optimistic that Niu Dashan's independent regiment can hold Ding'an City, but Niu Dashan also thinks that Zhao Zhi persuaded him to evacuate Ding'an is harming him" After reading the message sent by Lei Feng, Peng Dehuai was a little crying and laughing, this Zhao Zhi was indeed like a loach and did not lose his hand, and he found that the momentum was not right, so he immediately picked himself up first, and he really didn't eat at all.
