The destruction of two Japanese divisions put great pressure on the Jinpu Line. Previously, in order to encircle and suppress Mengshan, the 32nd Division stationed on the Jinpu Line had been transferred away. Now the 32nd Division was completely wiped out, and not even a single soldier escaped. The Jinpu Line immediately became tense.

Judging from the current situation, once several forces take action against the Jinpu Line, it will be difficult for the stationed divisions to resist. The Jinpu Line is too long. The area north of Jinan is okay, but the area south of Xuzhou is very restless. If there is a problem from Jinan to Xuzhou again, the entire line may be paralyzed again.

Bin Shanyuan continued to draw troops from all over North China. Problems anywhere else would not be a big deal, but problems on the Jinpu Line would threaten their own safety. Even if the base camp was full of thousand-year-old turtles, they would not continue to tolerate it.

Not only the Jinpu Line, the Japanese troops stationed in Linyi were also very nervous. A regiment of 3,000 soldiers was previously considered a waste of talent, but the annihilation of two divisions in the field made the regiment commander, Colonel Eisaburo Ikeda, instantly nervous, and he broke out in a cold sweat after receiving the news.

In the past, the special forces of the Yimeng guerrillas often came to harass. Ikeda Eizaburo had some ideas. He wanted to find an opportunity to set a trap, encircle the special forces, and then attack the reinforcements. If the Yimeng guerrillas were eliminated, even if only a part of them were eliminated, he, Ikeda Eizaburo, would rise to fame. Now he is somewhat glad that he did not find the opportunity, otherwise his grave would probably be overgrown with grass.

The two annihilation battles completely reversed the situation in the Yimeng Mountain area. In the past, they were worried that the Japanese army would attack at any time. The two battles gave the three forces confidence. Now the Japanese army is afraid that they will expand outward. It is harmless to the east or north, but once they expand to the west or south, it will immediately threaten the Jinpu Line and the Jianghuai Line. To defend the Jiang, we must defend the Huai. Now no one dares to bet on the idea of ​​a cold gun. If the cold gun really disrupts the Jianghuai line, the Japanese army's control over the rear will be in chaos.

Chen Feng doesn’t have too many thoughts now. As a person who has been through it, he understands that the anti-Japanese war is not a matter of overnight, and the current task is still to concentrate on business.

Each of the four regiments has a size of one thousand people, and there are more than one thousand people on the mountain. The two successful annihilation battles have made Chen Feng's mind active. He plans to continue to expand the team. The four regiments at the foot of the mountain will reach eight thousand people, and the number of people on the mountain will also reach three thousand.

With more than 10,000 soldiers, plus the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment, the Japanese army is not without the ability to fight if they really send three or four divisions to encircle and suppress us. However, we cannot be impatient now. We must wait until the four divisions gain a firm foothold and completely control the area. Three months, three months will be enough time.

On July 1939, 7, the rewards that had been long in coming came. The reward measures were announced to the entire army, and the entire army was called upon to learn from them. The Yimeng Guerrillas joined forces with the Lunan Detachment to annihilate the Japanese Fifth Division. The Yimeng Guerrillas joined forces with the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment to annihilate the Japanese 3nd Division. The rewards were issued at the same time, with the Yimeng Guerrillas rewarded with oceans, the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment each with oceans. The rewards were generous, of course, but there was still a big gap compared to the rewards given to the direct central army. During the Battle of Wuhan, the th Army was rewarded with oceans for annihilating half of the Japanese regiment. This is incomparable.

On top of Mount Meng, Chen Fengzheng and Shen Honglie were drinking wine and discussing the next development plan when Li Yunyan came in with a telegram.

"Captain, the rewards have arrived, all troops are alerted."

“How many tens of thousands?”

"We have 200,000, Commander Shen got 100,000, and they also gave us a reward of 100,000."

"It's a lot. Let's contact Johannes and order some more MG42s! The troops have responded that this thing is useful for hitting anything. Let's also order some more bullets. Let's pay half the price for each gun and bullet"!

"By the way, wait a minute, Brother Shen, you also have 100,000, do you want to place an order together?"

Shen Honglie hesitated. There was no shortage of weapons and ammunition in Menglianggu. If he ordered another batch, he really didn't know where to put them.

"Alas, brother Lengqiang, I have everything I need, yet I am worried!"

"Yunyan, order some anti-aircraft machine guns and bullets for Brother Shen as well. They'll cost half the price. Go ahead!"

Li Yunyan saluted and left. Now when she and Song Zihan were alone facing Chen Feng, she no longer saluted. However, in the presence of outsiders, she still maintained the minimum military demeanor.

Shen Honglie did not have any objection to Chen Feng's unauthorized decision, because he understood that Chen Feng would not do anything without a purpose.

"Brother, tell me! Is the route unsafe?"

"The route is fine, but we must be cautious about Germany's policies. The conflicts between Germany, France and the UK are growing, and war is likely to break out. In addition, they are now flirting with the Japanese. Once they restrict the export of arms to us, it will be difficult for us to get more arms."

"That's true, but what about your Shenlong Bazooka? What if they change their mind?"

"I'm not afraid. If they dare to go back on their word, they can talk to the British, Americans or Soviets. Because I have mastered the core technology, they dare not lose any of it."

"That's good, that's good, come on brother, have a drink and talk to big brother about what to do next."

"Brother Shen, we are not outsiders, I will tell you whatever you want to say"!

"Brother, you are being too polite. Don't I know you? No matter how you arrange it, I will carry it out unconditionally. As your big brother, I will stick to my word. Even if you ask me to lead the team down the mountain to fight the Japanese to the death, I will not say a word."

"Brother, this is serious. My idea is to expand conservatively. We should not attack the Jinpu Line and manage the place we occupy now well. The development of the Yimeng guerrillas to the west only reaches Yangcheng Shanting and Taierzhuang. There is no restriction to the south and north. You must manage the eastward line well, especially the sea route from Yishui to Juxian and Shijiu south. You must control it in your own hands. If you have spare capacity, you can infiltrate in the northeast direction of Qingdao."

"Brother, I will listen to you, but why don't we attack the Jinpu Line? If we focus on the Jinpu Line, we will not lack anything."

"Brother Shen, we don't have the strength yet. The Jinpu Line is easy to attack, but if the Japanese really come to besiege us at all costs, we can't stop them. We must hurry up and develop, lie in wait, and wait for the next big move by the Japanese. Once a large-scale battle begins, that will be our chance. We must immediately cut off the Jinpu Line, march into the central mountainous area of ​​Mount Tai, and connect all the hilly areas in central Shandong."

Shen Honglie's face was flushed with joy. He still didn't consider it comprehensively! He was used to eating sweets. He only thought about making some profit and following the cold gun. Everything else was good, but he had less and less strategic vision.

Come, have another drink. Big brother is excited. Don't worry, brothers. From Yishui Yinan to Juxian Shijiu, I will make this line airtight. But if I am really unable to do it, you will have to help.

Chen Feng drank the wine in the bowl and dropped the bowl on the table.

"Don't worry, big brother. The Third Regiment will advance to Dingzigou. One is to attack Linyi, and the other is to escort you."
