Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

In Fangcheng, Zhang Laoer had already led his troops to capture the remnants of the 25th Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

There were more than 25 people left in the 4000th Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

When the front division was attacking, all the Shanxi-Suiyuan troops were gathered together by their division commander Xu Guodong and surrendered to the Japanese.

So the stations are too crowded.

The artillery battalion's rocket launchers did not bother them either. After a wave of firepower, only these few people were left in a division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

These people were frightened by Lin Tian's artillery fire. When they saw Zhang Laoer and his men rushing in, they just fell to the ground, put their hands on their heads and surrendered.

There was no thought of resistance anymore.

Anyway, surrender is the same for everyone. Once you surrender, there will be no psychological barriers to doing it the second time.

Besides, surrendering to the Eighth Route Army at least sounds much better than surrendering to the Japanese.

The people will not pierce their backs.

So they surrendered with a clear conscience.

However, since the officers of the 25th Division had all changed into ordinary soldiers' clothes, Zhang Laoer couldn't catch any big fish for a while.

Zhang Laoer was overwhelmed when he saw a group of Shanxi Suiyuan Army prisoners squatting with their heads in their hands in an open field. After interrogating them for a long time, he only caught a company commander.

"Reporting to the company commander, a large number of our friendly troops were spotted outside the city. They said they were three regiments from the 386th Brigade."

"Among them is our commander's family, the Independent Regiment, and Commander Li and Political Commissar Zhao are also here."

"Oh, by the way, Captain Li said that it was the headquarters that asked them to come and support us."

A soldier ran up to Zhang Laoer and reported.

"Really?! Then we have to give them a good reception. The commander is not here now, so we have to entertain her family well."

Zhang Laoer said in surprise.

He had also heard of the name of Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment a long time ago. Now when he heard that Li Yunlong was coming with friendly troops to support him, he was overjoyed and immediately took people out to greet them.

Outside the city, the iron triangle of Northwest Shanxi and Zhao Gang were standing at the city gate talking and laughing.

After all, this is Lin Tian’s territory. Even if they are his mother’s family, they have to inform him when they arrive and cannot just drive their troops in.

"Haha, three regiment commanders, Political Commissar Zhao, welcome, welcome. I am the commander of the First Division Cavalry Reinforced Company, Zhang Laoer!"

"Welcome to all the leaders. Our commander is not in Fangcheng right now. On behalf of our commander, I would like to thank you for your support!"

Zhang Laoer saluted and said with a smile.

"Oh, hello, Captain Zhang. I am Li Yunlong, the head of the independent regiment. This is my political commissar Zhao Gang. This is Ding Wei, the head of the new first regiment. This guy smoking opium is Kong Jie, the head of the new second regiment."

"You said Lin Tian isn't here? Then where did this guy go? I see you don't have many soldiers here. Did your commander lead a large force to chase the devils?"

Li Yunlong introduced that after all, Zhang Laoer was also Lin Tian's man, and even if the person opposite him was a company commander, he still had to be polite. Li Yunlong was a rough but meticulous person.

Then when he heard Zhang Laoer say that Lin Tian was not in Fangcheng, Li Yunlong immediately realized that this kid must have gone to do something big again. He became itchy and asked.

"Hey, Lao Li, you're the one who smokes opium. What I have here are all real tobacco leaves. Stop talking nonsense."

When Kong Jie heard Li Yunlong introduce himself like this, he glared at Li Yunlong with his eyes slanted, cursed with a smile, and then put away his pipe.

As soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Yes, part of the Japanese 25th Mixed Brigade escaped, and the commander led his men to pursue them. Then the th Division of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army in Fangcheng surrendered to the Japanese, and was later captured by us. I am interrogating them now."

"After a long interrogation, they only caught a company commander. It's strange that they couldn't even find a high-ranking official. These shameless guys are really good at hiding."

Zhang Laoer briefly told Li Yunlong and others about the battle of Fangcheng.

"You are a bunch of spineless people. You are thinking of surrendering to the devils before the battle even starts. It's good that you are cleaning up the mess for the commander of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

"I'll give you a tip. Gather them together and run around the square without stopping. You'll definitely catch a big fish."

Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Running laps? Running... Oh oh! I see!"

"Hahaha, thank you Captain Li, this is a great idea, thank you so much!"

Zhang Laoer immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant and hurriedly thanked him.

"Report to the head of the group, there is a call from headquarters."

The messenger came running with a telegram and reported.

Li Yunlong took the telegram, looked at it, and handed it to Zhao Gang, saying with a smile: "Hey, Old Zhao, can you show us what's written on it? Although Old Li has attended a private school for a few years, I still can't recognize all the characters."

"Hahaha, Li Yunlong, ah Li Yunlong, you used to scold me for not knowing a bunch of big characters, not knowing the shape of a carrying pole when it fell down, and you also said I was Zhu Bajie wearing glasses."

"It seems like you and I are of the same character. You are like Zhu Bajie wearing glasses. You still have to look up to Political Commissar Zhao at critical moments. When you go back, you should learn culture from Political Commissar Zhao and be a good student!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie immediately started to speak insultingly.

Just now Li Yunlong said that he smoked opium, which immediately made him fight back. This is what he calls tit-for-tat.

"Hahahaha!"

Kong Jie's words caused everyone to laugh again.

Li Yunlong's eyes were wide open as he cursed, "Kong Erleng, what the hell do you know? Can Political Commissar Zhao be as educated as I am?! Ah!"

Zhao Gang hurriedly stopped the group from playing and took the telegram.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. The call from headquarters must be something important."

"Let me read to you all. The Japanese have dispatched the 36th Division from Qucheng and are marching rapidly towards Lin Tian. Order the Independent Regiment, the New st Regiment, and the New nd Regiment to support the First Division in combat."

Zhao Gang said with a look of shock.

"what?!"

"What are the Japanese doing? Did Commander Lin make them angry?"

"A division! My goodness! Are the devils crazy?!"

"You want to eat up a whole district in one bite!"

Ding Wei heard this and said with a serious face.

"No, we can't waste any more time here. Lin Tian and the others must be under a lot of pressure right now. A division is no joke."

"Originally, I was worried. Lin Tian had already wiped out the 8th Mixed Brigade, and we didn't even see a single devil here."

"This is great. With three of our divisions plus Lin Tian's troops, we may be able to fight against this division of the devils."

"Even if it costs me my life, I will break off his two front teeth!"

"Pass my order, assemble the troops! Move quickly in the direction of Lin Tian!"

Li Yunlong was overjoyed. He was the kind of person who got excited when there was a battle to fight.

Now hearing that the Japanese had sent out a division in a rage, I immediately wanted to rush up and defeat them.
