Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"Great!"

Liu Quanhua had long been impatient and stood up from his stool to ask, "What is their specific deployment? Are there any special forces?"

"Brigade Commander, everything is as we expected. Zhao Qu's devils were urgently recruited from Zhongtiao Mountain. They must have abandoned a certain front. Maybe because their original combat mission was mountain warfare, they don't have armored vehicles and large-caliber heavy artillery, but they have a full artillery regiment, all 48 of which are 75mm mountain cannons!

Most of the Japanese troops have already assembled, with more than 5000 of them moving westward, probably intending to force a crossing of the Fen River and then encircle the enemy from Xiangling. The rest, including the artillery regiment, are stationed where they are.

As for the Japanese in Ganting, according to the intelligence sent by Chief of Staff Fang, they were definitely sent from Taiyuan. They also had a fully-staffed artillery regiment, but were equipped with cannons.

There seemed to be a Japanese tank squadron consisting of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles.

The remaining infantry also split into two groups, heading towards our Jiaquan and Duandian defense positions respectively, while the tank squadron stayed where it was. "

Liu Quanhua burst into laughter: "Great, this is what war is all about! The Japanese in Taiyuan are so rich that they even deployed cannons. I'm afraid it's because of the cannons that they arrived so late.

But this is what makes it fun. It's just a cannon. It's nothing compared to the L118 cannon howitzer of my field artillery battalion!"

As he spoke, Liu Quanhua couldn't help but put away his smile and sighed.

The operations staff officer asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Brigade Commander? Didn't we just agree on this?"

Liu Quanhua slammed the table fiercely. "This bastard, we agreed before that the northern front would be handed over to Chief of Staff Fang. Now, he has tanks and cannons, and we are so stingy here. We don't have any powerful guys, so it's not fun to fight!"

The combat staff said something like "MMP" but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. If the rest of the Tang army knew that they were facing a fully-strength division of the Japanese, they would definitely frown and deploy their troops. They would have to prepare at least 5 troops and then hold a meeting to make a good deployment.

But what about his own brigade commander? He actually complained that the devils were not good enough...

"Forget it, let's leave it to the chief of staff this time. When this operation is over, I will make him buy me a drink! Pass my order to the two field artillery battalions, tell them not to worry about other places, and keep a close eye on both ends of the railway line. The Japanese's division of troops is just to divert our attention. Their main force must be on the railway line, and it can only be on the railway line!

Tell them, I know they have been holding it in for days and nights, and they must have complaints in their hearts! Now the opportunity has come, take out all your anger on the Japanese, either don't take action, or if you do, you have to cripple the main force of the Japanese division!

If the front-line troops could still see the complete main force of the Japanese when exchanging fire, the commander of the field artillery battalion could go to the logistics department to feed pigs! "

.....

On September 9, the fighting around Pu County had completely ended, and the 16th Regiment took over the defense of the county town and its surroundings. This was instructed by Xu Le. Guo Ditie had experience in the security regiment and was more capable of managing the county town than the 664th Regiment and the other three regiments.

The security of the Meidongshan headquarters was now completely in the hands of the 665th Regiment, which made Zhen Zhiying sleepless all night before he finally arranged the deployment.

Nan Yao Village was almost a dead end, so the garrison strength was reduced to two companies, and one company was transferred to guard the headquarters.

In the direction of Baozidong, although there are only the insignificant Xiangning and Jixian to the west for dozens of kilometers, and then the surging Yellow River, but Xiangning to the south can lead to Hejin in southwest Shanxi, so Baozidong is garrisoned by a fully staffed battalion. What if the Japanese make a surprise move and gather heavy troops to launch a surprise attack from this most unexpected place?

There is only one road leading to Pu County from the mountain village. Although Pu County is under the control of the 176th Division, in order to strengthen the security of the headquarters, Zhen Zhiying still arranged the Second Battalion here, which is regarded as the internal defense line of the headquarters.

However, the Meidongshan headquarters only has one company from the third battalion.

Jiang Feng had no objection to this arrangement. The headquarters did not need many troops. After all, if the enemy really had the ability to attack the headquarters, even if the headquarters had a regiment it would be of no use.

As for Xu Le, he didn't care at all. The most important reason why he established the three major departments so early was...

To make it easier for myself to be a hands-off boss!

"It's been so many days, and I don't know what's going on in Linfen. Xu Da, when was the last report from the 388th Brigade?"

Xiaohuan and Xiaocui both followed the guard team to receive professional training. They didn't even come back to sleep at night. He was used to the two girls massaging his shoulders and backs, but now there was no one around, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

But Xu Le had to hold it in. After telling Xiaohuan and her sister about the matter, Xiaohuan and her sister had become one agent.

Xiao Cui is fine, she doesn't need to come into contact with the Japanese, but Xiao Huan has to follow Yamaguchi Keiko, so she must come into contact with the Japanese all the time. If she is not careful, she will be exposed and all her efforts will be wasted.

Now that time is urgent, Xu Le has no choice but to let the guard team give him devilish training, just to give him more power to protect himself in the future!

Xu Da replied: "Young Marshal, the latest report was sent yesterday afternoon! The numbers of the Japanese reinforcements have been found out. Gan Ting is from the Japanese 37th Division, accompanied by Yang Cheng's nd Division of the "National Suppression Army", one of the puppet troops, which is a regiment of cavalry.

Zhao Qu's unit was the 21st Division of the Japanese invaders that was drawn from Zhongtiao Mountain. It was one of the most powerful Type B divisions of the Japanese invaders and had strong field combat capabilities!

The report sent by the 388th Brigade yesterday showed that the various Japanese troops had already exchanged fire with Bozhuang, Yangquan, Duandian and other places, but as for the main force, there was no movement!

Young Marshal, do you want me to urge them? I think the main force of the Japanese has already started to move!"

Xu Le waved his hand and said, "No need to urge him. Liu Quanhua must have deliberately not reported it, because if he did, he would be restricted by the General Staff. I know him too well. If you urge him, you may not get any useful response, and you may not be able to contact him!

Forget it, let him go, I still trust him in fighting! Let's wait for the victory news!

By the way, the first batch of prisoners should be delivered soon. As usual, kill all the devils. As for the puppet troops, let the intelligence department investigate them thoroughly. Keep those who can be kept. Our army is short of manpower now, so those who cannot be kept will be dealt with together. "

"Okay, I'll ask the guards to assist me. I'll also tell Xu Er to focus on his political education."

"As for Pu County, ask Jiang Feng to recruit new soldiers as soon as possible. We should be able to recruit a lot of new soldiers this time. The third batch of returning soldiers has been gone for so long. I have instructed them to contact the troops around the Acropolis and bring out all the veterans and new soldiers who can be sent to the front line. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a batch of reinforcements in a month, and then we can let go and do a great job!"
