The defeated Japanese soldiers fled back to Pingyi City. The only senior officer left was the squadron leader, and the others were all killed. The squadron leader put aside his fear, tried to cheer himself up, and counted the heads three times. Except for the two teams that stayed in Pingyi, only 548 people were withdrawn, and there were more than a hundred lightly wounded soldiers among them.

With no shortage of weapons and ammunition, it could be said that the defense of the county town by a team of more than 600 people was a sure thing, but now they feel there is no guarantee at all.

The squadron leader ordered the signalman to record the telegram and send it immediately to the Peking Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Although Shandong was already in the process of forming the Second Army, this battle was completely controlled by the Peking Headquarters.

Bin Shanyuan was drinking sake and watching the geisha performance with his chief of staff. The geisha was performing very hard, but Bin Shanyuan was not interested. The encirclement and suppression of Mengshan was crucial. As long as they could catch the geisha or kill him, the news in the occupied area would be reported as soon as possible tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon, the photos of the captured prisoners or their bodies will be transmitted to major cities via the Jinpu Line. The newspapers will quickly reprint them, and by dinner time the photos will have spread across most of China.

Bin Shanyuan drank the sake in the cup and waved to the geisha. He felt that the more people there were, the more restless he became.

The chief of staff noticed Bin Shanyuan's nervousness and felt a little amused. A commando team of seven or eight people with a cold gun had caused unrest in the Imperial Japanese Army for half a year, and even the headquarters had been affected. Now they were about to be eliminated, and even the usually calm commander could not sit still. For this reason, they could die with their eyes closed.

"Report, an urgent telegram from Captain Himetaro of Pingyi City!"

Bin Shanyuan's heart skipped a beat. Something had happened. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a captain to send a message. He exchanged a glance with the chief of staff and saw the panic in the other's eyes:

"read"!

"Your Excellency General, our troops attacked Mengshan today. During the shelling and cluster search, we were ambushed by the Yimeng guerrillas. Our troops were severely damaged. When we retreated to Pingyi City, only 548 people were left. I request tactical guidance."

What a familiar word! Tactical guidance?

Bin Shanyuan had studied everything about cold guns and the Lone Wolf Commando. Those important confidential telegrams were just ordinary documents to him. Starting from Longshan in the north of Teng County and from that loser Rensuke Isogai, he had no idea how many times he had seen the four words "tactical guidance". He didn't expect to see it himself, and it was the credit of the Lone Wolf Commando.

Bin Shanyuan was terrified when he thought about it. He suddenly staggered and almost fell backwards. The chief of staff quickly stepped forward to support him:

"General, are you okay?"

It's over. The annihilation of three thousand troops only proved one thing: Hashimoto Sakurako had betrayed him. The information received was all false. Bin Shanyuan felt very helpless. Even if he believed that the chief of staff next to him would betray him, he did not believe that Miss Sakurako, the flower of the empire, would betray him.

The facts are right in front of us. If the loss of the team is still acceptable, then Hashimoto Sakurako is a huge trouble. This famous flower has already entered the sight of many senior executives, and now she has been wasted in my hands. Trouble is coming!

The battle report of the Mengshan annihilation campaign has been circulated among the national army:

Shen Honglie, a big boss who stayed behind in Shandong Province, led a group of more than 2,000 troops. They were ambushed by a Japanese regiment in Mengyin City. After suffering heavy casualties, they occupied Mengshan. He used his eloquence to persuade the leader of the Mengshan bandit Hei Diao, and the two troops joined together to wait for the siege of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army surrounded and encircled them, the two troops exploded, killing more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, destroying the Japanese mountain artillery battalion, avenged the loss of Mengyin, and achieved impressive results.

The war situation report was full of loopholes, but strangely it was confirmed by Chongqing. Everyone knew there was a story behind it. Those who understood it understood it, and those who didn't understand wouldn't tell others even if they asked them.

The battle situation from Xinyang to Zhumadian was fierce. Li Zongren personally went to Xinyang and organized the troops of the Fifth War Zone to block the Japanese troops coming from the east and north. The Japanese troops were very crazy and their target was the city of Wuhan.

In Xinyang City, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other leaders of the Fifth War Zone were discussing the war situation report. The destruction of a Japanese regiment was worth discussing:

"My fellow officers, everyone has read the war situation report. Some people have raised some questions. I, the commander-in-chief, can assure you that this news is absolutely true."

"I know everyone has questions, but I believe you will understand if I just talk about one person."

"The Yimeng guerrillas stationed in Mengshan, led by Captain Black Eagle, are the masters of the Lone Wolf Commando's cold gun."

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. Since the withdrawal from Xuzhou, the words "cold gun" have disappeared. Although there are still some special forces similar to commandos active, nothing can be seen in the short term, but from the long-term performance it is clear that they are all fakes.

Seeing that everyone had finished the discussion, Li Zongren said with emotion:

"My dear colleagues, it's more than two regiments! Shen Honglie has eliminated more than two regiments of Japanese troops with the help of cold guns."

Seeing that his colleagues were somewhat confused, Li Zongren stood up and laid his cards on the table:

"Everyone, the purpose of this commander-in-chief raising this is not to make you admire Leng Qiang, nor to envy Shen Honglie.

You are all wise people. With our military equipment, we cannot hold on. From Zhumadian to Xinyang, and then to Suizhou and Macheng, the terrain is complex and changeable. You should go back and think carefully about how to use various terrains to defend and block. The biggest advantage of blocking in mountainous areas is that it can avoid the Japanese heavy artillery. "

"Okay, that's all I have to say. I hope you will pay attention and adjourn the meeting."

On the top of Mount Meng, Shen Honglie was discussing with Chen Feng whether to keep or go back. Originally, they had no plan to go back. There were only a few hundred soldiers left in Mengyin City, and there was no way to block the route to Yishui.

Shen Honglie hesitated, knowing that it was not appropriate to leave at this time, but his roots were in Yishui. Although he might be able to eliminate more Japanese troops here, he still had a lot of things to deal with in Yishui City, and Qin Qirong had urged him many times.

Chen Feng saw Shen Honglie's dilemma:

"Brother Shen, something happened in Yishui?"

"Not yet, but Lao Qin always urges me to go back. Brother, I know you need more people here, and you can't just leave!"

Chen Feng knew that it was unrealistic to let Shen Honglie and the Marines stay. Although he was very envious, he never thought of taking these 400 warriors:

"Brother Shen, according to information from various places, the Japanese army's heavy troops are in southern Henan and southwestern Anhui. Their most important battle right now is the Wuhan War. Shandong does not have many mobile troops. I believe Mengshan is safe for the time being. I would like to ask you a question. Can the medical conditions and medicines in Yishui be guaranteed?

Shen Honglie was a smart man. He immediately understood Chen Feng's purpose and breathed a sigh of relief. If Chen Feng wanted him to stay, he would be embarrassed to just leave. He understood Chen Feng's purpose and did not hesitate:

"Brother Leng Qiang, are you targeting these two hundred wounded soldiers? Don't worry, brother. I can't take these two hundred people back, and I don't have too many medicines to take care of them. So, brother Leng Qiang, please help take care of them."
