Ma Yunfeng rolled his eyes at Zhang Yi without a trace, it seemed that the regiment he belonged to was also marching towards here, maybe the Japanese reinforcements didn't come, and his backup arrived first. Without waiting for Ma Yunfeng's eyes to retract, something strange happened to him, and Zhang Yi, who was facing away from him, said a little arrogantly, "I just don't know how many rescuers these three boys can bring when they go back, if the Japanese come less, I'm afraid Willis will be unhappy."

Do you think that you thunder people can't be killed, and you think that the Japanese soldiers are less than enjoyable? Dog's day said big things, Ma Yunfeng muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it. "Captain, those three boys ran out of the city and spread their legs, we looked like they were going in the direction of Xiahe Village, Xiao Cui chased down with his two brothers" Wang Chen, who disappeared after entering the city, ran back from outside the city, and he was with the footman who didn't like to talk.

"Xiahe Village?" Zhang Yi muttered a few words in his mouth, took out a map from the leather bag on his waist and checked it on the bonfire. To say that this Laiyuan county is not big, but there are many villages and towns around it, the Xiahe village that Wang Chen just mentioned, is on the edge of the Xiangshui River 20 miles southwest of Laiyuan, the stone bridge across the Xiangshui River is Shanghe Village, and not far south is Liulin Town, the Japanese army also stationed a small team of Japanese soldiers and 200 imperial troops in Liulin Town.

"Those three boys should have lost Liulin Town and moved the rescuers" The map in Zhang Yi's hand was captured by the Japanese army, which marked more than a dozen villages and towns around Laiyuan County and the artillery towers built by the Japanese army. "Wang Chen, immediately contact Willis, ask him to pay attention to the Japanese puppet army coming from the direction of Liulin Town, the stone bridge on the Xiangshui River is the key, as long as the stone bridge is guarded, the Japanese puppet army can only turn to Zhongyang County" Willis's infantry regiment has 4,000 people, and it is easy to deal with hundreds of Japanese puppet troops, the meaning of Zhang Yi's words is not to ask Willis to take the initiative to attack, but to guard the Xiangshui River, after taking Laiyuan, Zhang Yi They need time instead of fighting with the Japanese puppet army.

Finding a suitable airdrop site is the main task that Zhao Zhi gave Zhang Yi before leaving, and taking Laiyuan County is just one of the prerequisites for completing this task. Laiyuan, like Zhangwu County, is a hilly, mountainous and plain terrain, with the CCP base in northern Shaanxi behind it and the Xiangshui River flowing endlessly in front of it. When Zhao Zhi formulated the attack plan, he specifically took Laiyuan as the preferred target, not only extracting the strongest Zhang Yi squadron from the scout detachment, but also specially drawing an infantry regiment from the Jewish First Army to cooperate with the battle, the purpose of which was to use the terrain of Laiyuan to maximize the consumption of the Japanese puppet army.

"Company Commander Ma, the county seat has been taken by us, let's talk about our respective operational tasks now, maybe we can cooperate" The sky has already begun to brighten up a little, Zhang Yi thought of a reason, and began to fool Ma Yunfeng. The leading commanders of the scout detachment were all trained by the old mercenaries, and naturally they inherited the calculations and cunning of the old mercenaries, Wang Chen had already told him that Ma Yunfeng They were only the vanguard of the national army, and there was a whole national army behind them to come to Laiyuan here.

Willis's Jewish infantry regiment wants to help defend the Xiangshui River, and also fight guerrillas with the Japanese puppet army according to the terrain, and he can't spare manpower to garrison Laiyuan County, Zhang Yi and Willis are now alone, they need a solid back line, so Zhang Yi hit the idea of the National Army, and it's a big deal to give them the county seat. Ma Yunfeng was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Yi's sudden burst of enthusiasm, but he didn't think that Zhang Yi was fooling him, let alone the idea that this scout captain with only 30 or so subordinates was fighting their national legion.

"Our task is to go out as the vanguard company to investigate, open the way to Luliang for the follow-up troops, and cooperate with the action plan of the Second War Zone to attack and harass the Japanese puppet army in this area" Ma Yunfeng said their task realistically, this is not something that needs to be hidden, and Ma Yunfeng feels that Zhang Yi is a companion who has just fought side by side with them, and it seems a little unauthentic to deceive them.

"Oh, that means Company Commander Ma, you still have troops from the national army behind you? How many people are there? Zhang Yi dragged out his emphasis, and unabashedly asked about the number of follow-up national army troops. Finding the airdrop site is simple, but Zhang Yi still needs enough manpower to improve the airdrop site, and he also needs to have enough troops to defend it, so the national army troops that are still on the way have become Zhang Yi's hope, only in this way can Willis's Jewish infantry regiment free up energy to deal with the Japanese puppet army troops who came to invite the battle.

"A group, only one day's journey from here" Ma Yunfeng didn't notice the meaning of Zhang Yi's words, but replied lightly.

"A group, the number of people is a little small" Zhang Yi sighed pretendedly, successfully attracting Ma Yunfeng's attention. "We got the news that the Japanese army is hoarding a lot of food and materials in Laiyuan, and the Japanese army originally stationed in Laiyuan has a reinforced brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the reason why the number of Japanese puppet troops in the county town is not much, it is because most of the Japanese puppet troops originally stationed here went to Luliang to rescue, and we will leave here after taking food and supplies, but in this way, I am afraid that Laiyuan, which has just been recaptured, will have to be returned to the Japanese."

"Don't you still have 4,000 people outside the city?"

"That's because you are not familiar with Laiyuan here, there are not many Japanese puppet troops in the city, but there are several villages and towns around Laiyuan that are stationed in the Japanese puppet army, and the Xiangshui River not far from here is the border of Luliang, once the Japanese puppet army rushed to the rescue got the news and turned around, our little people were not enough to carry food, and there were still people there to fortify the county to resist the Japanese army who came back to help" Zhang Yi deliberately made a bitter face, showing a look of annoyance to Ma Yunfeng.

In fact, Zhang Yi didn't want to drag Ma Yunfeng's national army into a desperate situation, he just wanted to use the strength of the national army to hold on to the county for a few days, he needed a bait to lure the Japanese puppet army back to help, only then could Willis's Jewish infantry regiment have a chance to attack the Japanese puppet army that returned to Laiyuan. "Company Commander Ma, you just said that your mission is to open up a passage to Luliang?" Zhang Yi seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his head to look at Ma Yunfeng.

"Company Commander Ma, can you discuss with your regiment commander, Laiyuan is not very far from Luliang, if you want to go to the border of Luliang, you will inevitably be surrounded and pursued by the Japanese puppet army, you are afraid that the strength of an infantry regiment alone is not enough, it is better to use this Laiyuan County as a base for you first, and use Laiyuan County as the center to consume the vitality of the Japanese puppet army, if this is the case, the 4,000 people we left outside the city may be able to help you" Looking at Ma Yunfeng silent, it was obviously almost the time, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to throw out his olive branch.

"Captain, you are too insidious, just pull a regiment of the national army into the water, you be careful that the Second War Zone is looking for our husband to settle accounts, I heard that the Second War Zone has had a bad time recently, the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi is crazy to find trouble for them, and even the troops of the Eighth Route Army seem to have suffered losses" When Ma Yunfeng used the radio to contact the follow-up troops, Wang Chen whispered to Zhang Yi, if he couldn't even see Zhang Yi's careful thoughts, then he was in vain in the scout detachment.

"If you say that, you can explain why there is a national army here" Zhang Yi unconsciously played with the lighter in his hand, still thinking about what Wang Chen just said about the national army's second war zone. If it is really as Wang Chen said, the national army to which Ma Yunfeng belongs should be a unit belonging to the Second War Zone, and it should be a partial division thrown out by the Second War Zone to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi, which is a bait. The purpose of doing this in the Second World War Zone is only one, to divert the Japanese puppet army that is confronting them head-on, at least partially, so that the Second War Zone, which has been squeezed to the extreme, can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Orange, immediately send a report to the headquarters, tell Mr. about the appearance of the National Legion in Laiyuan, and say that the Second World War Zone has the idea of throwing bait to lure the enemy, and ask if we can join forces with this National Legion who is on the task of decoy" Zhang Yi pulled Wang Chen and gave a few words in a low voice, the latter nodded and ran quickly to find the radio soldiers of the scout squadron, preparing to transmit the news back to Zhao Zhi who was sitting in Zhangwu County.

Zhang Yi's guess is right, the National Army's Second War Zone has indeed fought a few battles with the Japanese puppet army in the recent period, because Zhao Zhi's Spark plan began to enter the second step, the entire North China region has become a pot of porridge, and the Japanese army is temporarily unable to increase troops in Shanxi, but even so, the Japanese puppet army stationed in Shanxi is almost out of breath in the Second War Zone. In such an environment, the Second War Zone had no choice but to send out a few infantry regiments with good combat strength to the north, in an attempt to create a connection between Taiyuan and North China, and to make a momentum of attacking Taiyuan, so as to induce the Japanese puppet army fighting against them to return to the northern Shanxi region.

Just as Zhang Yi didn't know that there was a national army here, the Second War Zone didn't know that Thunder had sent troops to advance into the northern Jin region, if an agreement could be reached between Zhao Zhi and the Second War Zone, then the few troops before Thunder would have the possibility of joining forces with the bait troops of the National Army, and it would be a win-win situation for both public and private.

If Ma Yunfeng's infantry regiment can really stay to help defend Laiyuan County, then Zhang Yi's plan to set up an airdrop site in Laiyuan County can be implemented. What's more, after Willis's infantry regiment and the national army join forces, the strength will exceed 5,000 people, and if you want to kill these more than 5,000 people here in Laiyuan, the Japanese can't do it without tens of thousands of people, but unfortunately the Japanese army doesn't have tens of thousands of people on the front line of Luliang.
