Since Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang finished talking, half a year has passed, and during this time, there have been no other accidents, and the new regiment has been safe and stable, and the construction of the base area is also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Now, the entire county seat of Ping'an has been made into an iron bucket by the new group, and except for the county seat, other places are under the control of the new group.

And the high-yield seeds planted by Li Yunlong who arranged for the soldiers to reclaim the land before also harvested a stubble.

Although a few months have passed now, Li Yunlong still remembers Zhao Gang's excited eyes when he calculated the yield per mu after harvesting the grain.

After all, he knows what high-yield and high-quality varieties mean to a country, especially an agricultural country like Huaxia, which has a population of hundreds of millions.

Although Zhao Gang is an intellectual, he also planted land when he was at home, and the wheat they planted before could produce about 200 catties per acre, and it would not exceed 300 catties at most, but the grain seeds that Li Yunlong seized from the devil more than doubled.

No wonder Zhao Gang was excited, it was really a bit shocking to the news, if all the land in the country was planted with this kind of grain ........., it would be a little incredible to think about it.

So as soon as Zhao Gang got the news, he forwarded the good news to the headquarters. Then the headquarters sent someone to pull some seeds, and wanted to experiment in other bases, and if there was no problem, they would carry out large-scale promotion.

………… At this time, the headquarters of the First Military Region of the Japanese Army was far away in Taiyuan. Kusuyama Hideyoshi is reporting to Yoshio Shinozuka about the battle plan he has formulated.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is my battle plan, please take a look." After Kusuyama Hideyoshi finished speaking, he handed over the manuscript in his hand.

Although the last time Li Yunlong sent troops to besiege Ping'an County, the devils have not moved during this time, it's not that they don't want to retaliate, but they really have limited troops, after all, their enemies are not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army next to them.

But now it's different, the Kwantung Army has sent several troops to support. So they now have enough troops, so Shinozuka Yoshio's first thought is to deal with Li Yunlong, after all, Li Yunlong has opposed their first army several times, and many excellent commanders are in the hands of Li Yunlong.

"Oh, Nanshan-kun, have completed the battle plan so quickly?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked with some surprise, after all, it has only been two days since he and Nanshan Hideyoshi discussed dealing with Li Yunlong, and it is indeed a bit fast to complete a battle plan in such a short time.

Although he was puzzled, Yoshio Shinozuka still took the plan, and then opened it curiously.

I found that some of the ideas in the plan written by Hideyoshi Kusuyama were still very suspicious, and then walked to the sand table and simulated the sand table and map while reading the plan.

He nodded while simulating, as if affirming Hideyoshi Kusuyama's battle plan. And Kusuyama Hideyoshi was also very satisfied after seeing Yoshio Shinozuka's actions.

"Nanshan-kun's plan is perfect, but have you noticed that there is a big loophole in this plan," Yoshio Shinozuka studied the sand table for a long time, then turned to Kusuyama Hideyoshi with a frown and said.

"Oh, please correct the Commander." Kusuyama Hideyoshi pretended to be modest and said to Yoshio Shinozuka.

In fact, he knew that the problem that Yoshio Shinozuka said was nothing more than the problem of troops, but as a qualified subordinate, he always had to leave some faults for the leaders when he was a child, so that they could find out, otherwise how to show their status as leaders.

"Nanshan-kun, the biggest problem with your battle plan is the lack of troops. However, this problem has been solved by me, and I have already applied to General Okamura some time ago to transfer some troops from the northeast side. Yoshio Shinozuka squinted at Hideyoshi Kusuyama.

"The Kwantung Army?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi asked with some surprise. "Yes, two divisions were transferred from the Kwantung Army, so that the problem of insufficient troops would be solved, and the possibility of success of this battle plan would also be guaranteed." Yoshio Shinozuka said affirmatively to Hideyoshi Kusuyama.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, if there are two divisions of the Eastern Army, then our operation will definitely be successful." Nanshan Hideyoshi said with some maneuver, after all, this is the Kwantung Army, known as the elite of the Japanese army, and has been stationed in the northeast to guard against the northern powers, so he will not go south easily, but he didn't expect His Excellency the commander to have such a big ability, and he transferred two divisions of the Kwantung Army at once.

"Okay, Nanshan-kun, let's start mobilizing troops according to your battle plan, the Kwantung Army of the two divisions is estimated to arrive in a few days, but then Nanshan-kun will be busy, you have to work hard during this time." Yoshio Shinozuka said to Kusunoyama Hideyoshi, and patted Kusunayama Hideyoshi on the shoulder as he spoke.

"It's not hard, Your Excellency Commander, it's not hard, it's my honor." Kusuyama Hideyoshi responded.

"Alright, let's go down and prepare." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand at Hideyoshi Kusuyama.

"Hayi." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said yes, then turned and walked out of the office. ………… Soon, the devil's side began to move troops and some materials, of course, such a big move will definitely not be able to hide the eyes of all forces and intelligence personnel.

Li Yunlong: They also got relevant information.

"Lao Li, there is news from the inside, the devil's side has begun to mobilize troops, I estimate that the devil is going to do something to us." Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters at this time and said to Li Yunlong, who was looking at the map.

Because Zhao Gang has always been in charge of the intelligence of the new regiment, when the work was assigned everywhere, Li Yunlong was in charge of the military and Zhao Gang was in charge of life, and then Zhao Gang took over the intelligence work, mainly because the intelligence work was too important, and it was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the new regiment, and Li Yunlong was not at ease when he handed it over to others.

"This devil is moving fast enough, and he has finally settled down for a few days, and he is going to do things again." After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong responded and said, "Have you been notified by the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment?" ”

"I've been informed, I've sent someone to send them the relevant information, but they also have their own intelligence officers, and they are also aware of it." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang responded: "Lao Li, this time the devil seems to be menacing, we have to prepare in advance, we can't sit still." ”

"I'm not afraid of him when he's menacing, I'm wondering if we should transfer the people, this time the devil will definitely retaliate, and the action will definitely be great, if we can't resist it, wouldn't it be a burden to our fellow villagers." Li Yunlong frowned and said his thoughts to Zhao Gang.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said: "I agree to give priority to evacuating the people, so that we will have no worries, but with so many people, where to evacuate?" Also, if we can't resist it at that time, and the base area is occupied by the Japanese army, what will we do then? Thinking of this problem, Zhao Gang had a headache, in addition to the problem of the base, here she asked has been staying for almost a year, and after a year of construction, the situation in the base has changed greatly, if you can't resist really giving up, Zhao Gang is really a little reluctant.

"Don't worry about the problems in the base area, without the worries of the people, we can let go of our hands and feet to fight with the little devils, even if we fail, we can also fight guerrilla with the little devils. And we are now not short of food, weapons, and ammunition, and we can fight as long as we want, but the devil is different, the deeper he goes into our base area, the longer his logistics supply line will be, for us, this is an opportunity, and when the time comes, it will depend on which of us can survive whom. Li Yunlong looked at the map while looking at Zhao Gang and said.

"Lao Zhao, you immediately arrange the evacuation of the masses now, I will tell the brigade commander about this matter first, and let the brigade commander come forward to coordinate the various departments. When the time comes, the devils will be repulsed, and the villagers will be moved back. Li Yunlong commanded Zhao Gang.

"Okay, I'll do it now." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang said yes and turned to leave.

Because this time the people were mobilized to evacuate their homeland, it was not a little bit of people, it was a large number of people who had to leave, except for those who wanted to stay and get close to the devils, and those who were traitors.

In the 358th Regiment, Fang Ligong was also reporting to Chu Yunfei about the devil's movements during this time.

"The regimental seat, the forward observation post and the intelligence personnel have sent news that the devils are mobilizing troops recently, and the target should be Li Yunlong's department in Ping'an County." Fang Ligong said to Chu Yunfei, who was reading a book.

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei put the book in his hand aside, then raised his head and said, "I have expected it a long time ago, Li Yunlong made such a big move before, and it is impossible for the devil to leave it alone, but I didn't expect that this day would come so late." Let the forward observation post pay close attention, the devil has waited so long before acting, he must have been gathering strength, and the scale of this operation will definitely not be small. This time, even if I wanted to help him Li Yunlong, I was powerless. Chu Yunfei said with some emotion.

"Tuanzuo, it doesn't matter if you help the Eighth Route Army or not, what will Li Yunlong of the new regiment be swept away by the devils? I don't care either, but now I'm more concerned about whether our 358th Regiment can protect itself in this devil sweep. Fang Ligong held his glasses with his hand and said seriously: "If you can't, I suggest that you still apply to the Commander's Department to retreat and transfer our defense area to another place." Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei was silent, in fact, he still wanted to make a move in this sweep of the devil and compete with the little devil, not just for Li Yunlong, but he had some other ideas, but he also knew the strength of his 358th regiment, and knew the consequences of his own confrontation with the devil.

So that's why he's been hesitant.

"Okay, forget it, send a telegram to the Chief's Department, report the situation here to the Chief's Department, and see what they say, this time, we will act according to the orders of the Chief's Department." Chu Yunfei finally thought about it, then slapped the table and said to Fang Ligong.

After finishing speaking, Chu Yunfei looked outside the room again, and then said to himself: "Brother Yunlong, this time the elder brother can't help it, you can ask for more blessings." Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, for fear that he would regret it, Fang Ligong hurriedly said: "Yes, Tuanzao, I'll go and send a telegram to the chief's department now to see what their opinions are." ”

"It's really raining and the wind is full of buildings." Looking at the back of Fang Ligong leaving, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then sat down and continued to read.

He wasn't worried at all, he looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and the purpose of asking Fang Ligong to send a telegram to the chief's department was to retreat, because he knew that his commander would definitely prefer to let him retreat, and the telegram was just to find a reason, plus Fang Ligong was originally sent by Yan Laoxi to inspect him, and he believed that Fang Ligong would do everything well.

………… At this time, the Eighth Route Army Brigade also got the news of the devil's transfer. Brigade Commander Chen was standing in front of the map and watching the situation between friend and foe.

He didn't understand, Li Yunlong didn't do anything during this time, why did the devils gather on his side, even if Li Yunlong stabbed Lou Zi, it was half a year ago.

"Brigade commander, according to the information that our intelligence officers have worn, it is said that Yoshio Shinozuka may also transfer the Kwantung Army, and the strength is about two divisions, and it is not clear which two divisions are specific." The chief of staff said to the brigade commander who was looking at the map.

"Oh, the Kwantung Army is back too?" The brigade commander's brow furrowed even more when he heard this.

"Yes, and this battle plan was formulated by Kusuyama Hideyoshi himself, and he also added some new and suspicious ideas to this plan, but we don't know what it is." The chief of staff said to the brigade commander.

"It seems that Li Yunlong is really in trouble this time, so we can't sit still, can we get the transfer of the devil's material transfer this time. In such a big battle, the combat materials they brought with them were definitely not enough, and if they wanted to transport the materials over, they would definitely have to pass through our defense area, and then let the troops block them. The brigade commander thought for a moment and said to the chief of staff beside him.

"Yes, brigade commander, I'll give combat orders to the troops below now." Hearing the words of the brigade commander, the chief of staff immediately turned around and left, going to give orders to the troops below.

……… And Yan Xishan at the headquarters of the Jin Suijun also got the information sent by the inside, after all, he has been operating in Shanxi for so many years, even if he is evacuated from Taiyuan now, he also has a lot of eyeliner when he is evacuated, so there is no wind and grass in Taiyuan City, he can get the news.

"Sir, the commander of the 358th Regiment Chu sent a telegram saying that the devils would launch a major military operation against the new 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment next to their defense area, so they sent a telegram asking what we should do, and they are still waiting for our orders." Hearing his staff officer's words, Yan Xishan thought for a while and then replied: "Tell Chu Yunfei to evacuate the defense area for the time being, and return after the devil's combat operations are over, so as to preserve the vitality first." ”
