A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

The leading Eighth Route Army officer had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very upright.

Zheng Kaixuan knew this person. He had seen him in a TV drama before, but he didn't expect to see him here in Heiyunkou.

"This is Captain Zheng from our Fourth Battalion," the communicator introduced.

The person opposite quickly stretched out his hands and held Zheng Kaixuan's hands tightly.

"Captain Zheng, I'm Xing Zhiguo, the new deputy commander of the independent regiment assigned by the brigade. You can just call me Old Xing. We are brothers in the same unit. I won't waste any more polite words. I have an urgent matter to ask for your help."

"Old Xing, is this about Old Kong and the Independent Regiment?"

Zheng Kaixuan was not polite either.

A hint of surprise appeared in Xing Zhiguo's eyes.

"I've heard from the brigade commander a long time ago that you, Captain Zheng, are a young and promising man with great talent. It seems nothing can be hidden from you."

Xing Zhiguo sighed.

"I was assigned to the Independent Regiment as deputy commander by the Brigade Headquarters a few days ago. These past few days, I have been trying to persuade Lao Kong to lead the Independent Regiment to cooperate with the Fourth Battalion to complete the task of blocking the Sakata Regiment."

"But this old Kong just wouldn't listen and insisted on leading the independent regiment to confront Sakata."

"I've told Lao Kong more than once that although the independent regiment now has 1,700 to 1,800 people, you have to consider who the opponent is, whether we have enough heavy weapons, and whether the team's combat effectiveness has been formed..."

Xing Zhiguo’s words scared Zheng Kaixuan.

"Wait, Old Xing, how many people did you say the independent regiment has now?"

"One thousand eight hundred, what's wrong?"

Even Zheng Kaixuan was so surprised when he heard this number.

"Good on you, Old Kong! No wonder you dared to confront the Sakata Regiment! Your independent regiment is developing really fast!"

No wonder Zheng Kaixuan was so surprised.

It has been less than a month since he and Kong Jie parted in Dazhai Town.

I thought that the number of Kong Jie's troops was not much different from that of the Fourth Battalion. I didn't expect that the independent regiment now has 1,800 people!

The Fourth Battalion was developing at a fast enough pace, but it only had 1,200 people so far, and more than 700 of them were new recruits who had just been recruited in the past two days.

"fine."

Zheng Kaixuan suppressed the shock in his heart, waved his hand, and signaled Xing Zhiguo to continue.

"Political Commissar Li Wenying and I have tried to persuade him several times, but you know, Lao Kong has a stubborn temper. Once he gets stubborn, no one can stop him. The brigade headquarters is far away, and the independent regiment still doesn't have a radio station..."

"I never expected that Lao Kong somehow managed to convince Political Commissar Li to go with the brothers to stop the Sakata Regiment without my knowledge. By the time I found them, they had already been gone for most of the day. I guess they must have already started a fight with the Japanese by now..."

Xing Zhiguo's face was full of anxiety.

"Old Zheng, Captain Kong's men are all rookies. The Sakata Regiment is the Japanese's elite. If a fight breaks out, Captain Kong will definitely suffer a heavy loss. It's even possible that the independent regiment will be completely wiped out. Please help! Hurry and take the brothers of the Fourth Battalion to support Captain Kong..."

As Xing Zhiguo spoke, he suddenly froze.

He was so anxious that he didn't pay any attention to his surroundings.

It was not until this moment that he finally realized that Zheng Kaixuan and the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion were setting up their positions.

"Old Zheng, what are you doing? Are you planning to stop the Japanese at Heiyunkou?"

Zheng Kaixuan nodded.

"That's right. Our Fourth Battalion plans to fight the Japs to the death at Heiyunkou."

"this!"

Xing Zhiguo now has the urge to curse.

He originally thought that Kong Jie and Kong Erlangzi were stupid enough.

But Kong Erlangzi at least has a regiment under his command.

Who would have thought that Old Zheng from the Fourth Battalion of the New First Regiment was much dumber than Kong Erlangzi!

What kind of people have I met here?

"No, Lao Zheng, you only have one battalion. Are you planning to fight to the death with this small number of troops against an entire regiment of the Japanese?"

"Yes, that's right."

Xing Zhiguo suddenly felt as if ten thousand alpaca horses were galloping through his heart...

You know, the main regiments of the entire 386th Brigade faced only one Japanese regiment, the 136th Regiment, in the Xiyang County area!

"So, do the brothers of the Fourth Battalion know everything? Do they all know who their enemy is?"

Xing Zhiguo looked around.

"know."

Just then, Wang Fugui happened to pass by and responded casually.

"It's just the Sakata Regiment! We've been waiting for them for a long time, and we're worried they won't show up! When we win the battle tonight, we'll treat the brothers of the Independent Regiment to some Japanese canned food..."

Xing Zhiguo patted his chest and took three deep breaths in a row before he managed to calm down.

He was almost unable to hold it in any longer.

As expected, like-minded generals lead like-minded soldiers. The soldiers under Zheng Kaixuan didn't even take the famous Sakata Regiment seriously. What's the difference between them and Kong Erlangzi and his independent regiment?

"No, Old Zheng, we only have so many troops. We should focus on harassment to delay the Sakata Regiment and hold them off for a while. There's no need to fight them to death..."

Xing Zhiguo wanted to persuade him again.

Zheng Kaixuan raised his head with a determined look on his face.

"It's not a delay. With the Fourth Battalion here, the Sakata Regiment won't be able to even think of crossing the Black Cloud Pass!"

"This……"

Xing Zhiguo was speechless. Although he was the deputy regiment commander, he was not a member of the New 1st Regiment and could not suppress Zheng Kaixuan with his official position.

Li Yunlong is not here, and the Fourth Battalion has no radio, so it is too late to go to the brigade headquarters to report the news. Now he can only sigh.

Xing Zhiguo sighed.

The most urgent task is to rescue Kong Jie and the independent regiment first. If the two forces are combined and cooperate with each other, the chances of winning will at least increase.

At this moment, a soldier riding a warhorse, waving the whip fiercely in his hand, splashing mud and water on the ground, ran towards the black cloud mouth desperately.

The warrior on horseback shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran.

"Captain Zheng! The Independent Regiment is trapped. Our Commander Kong requests that you send troops to help rescue them!"

Hearing the call from the newcomer, Xing Zhiguo suddenly became anxious again.

"Lao Zheng, hurry up! What's going on? Lao Kong and his men are surrounded by the Japanese. Let's quickly take people to rescue them. If we go too late, it might be too late."

Zheng Kaixuan nodded.

No matter what, Kong Jie and the Independent Regiment are in trouble, and he certainly cannot sit idly by and watch them die.

You can save them, but you can't mess up your own strategic layout.

"Captain of the First Company! Captain of the Fourth Company!"

"To!"

"To!"

"The Independent Regiment is in trouble. The two of you should bring your equipment, mount your horses, and help Captain Kong break through."

"Yes!"

The first and fourth companies, together, have only about a hundred people.

When Xing Zhiguo saw that Zheng Kaixuan had only sent a hundred people to rescue, he immediately became excited again.

"No, Lao Zheng, can you rescue the people from the Sakata League with just these few people?"

Zheng Kaixuan smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence.

"Old Xing, don't worry about this. We're just assisting the independent regiment in breaking through, not completely annihilating the Japanese."

"The two companies I sent out are not ordinary companies. They are the most elite spearhead assault companies of our entire Fourth Battalion!"
