Taiyue Mountain, Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.

Yang Dakui walked into the war room excitedly with a telegram and reported to the brigade commander: "Brig Commander, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Wang Ye have a telegram!"

"Is that true?" the brigade commander stood up and asked, "What do you say in the telegram?"

"I fought a beautiful night attack." Yang Dakui said, "occupied Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang in one fell swoop, and wiped out the two battalions of the puppet northern Henan Security Army stationed in these two villages."

Speaking of this, he added a special sentence: "Because the reconnaissance work of the Wolf Warrior Brigade was done sufficiently in the early stage and the combat plan was formulated meticulously, the entire combat operation was also very smooth. Not only did he wipe out the two battalions of the puppet army, but there were no casualties and zero casualties in the northwest Henan detachment itself!"

"Beautiful!" The brigade commander said happily when he heard this, "Beautiful job."

"It's really done pretty." Operations section chief Ma Yuan said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, there were friendly forces from the second division of Taihang Military Region at the end of the year before last year, but they fought Shangzhuang several times, but they were unable to take it down."

"You remembered it wrongly, there was indeed such a thing." Chen Mingli said, "I have also played in the fourth division, but the final result was the same and I couldn't get it."

Ma Yuan said: "But this time the Northwest Henan Detachment took it down without any effort."

The brigade commander said: "What's so strange about this? I don't see who took the action this time."

"It's just that there are fewer seizures." Yang Dakui said with a smile, "Shangzhuang plus Yangmaozhuang, and only more than 7,000 bullets and more than 300 Gongxian grenades were seized in total."

"Damn, why are you so much ammunition?" the brigade commander said in a daze, "It shouldn't be."

Ma Yuan said: "Brig Commander, this is not surprising. Since the old Japanese devil, Okamura Yiji, came to North China and became the commander of the North China Front Army, it has greatly reduced the amount of ammunition carried by the Japanese puppet army. The individual puppet army rarely carried more than twenty rounds of ammunition, the machine gun rarely carried more than two hundred rounds, and the heavy machine gun only had only five hundred rounds of ammunition."

"But this is not right." The brigade commander frowned, "even if it is based on the amount of bullets carried by Shangzhuang and Yangmaozhuang's puppet Henan North Security Army should not have only 7,000 bullets."

Yang Dakui looked at the telegram again and said, "The telegram also said that it was stationed in Shangzhuang, and the Japanese consultant who was in charge of Yang Maozhuang was secretly sold it."

"Is it being resold by the Japanese?" Ma Yuan said with a smile, "Isn't this a slaughter of the Democratic Party?"

Yang Dakui said: "I don't look at who these Japanese are with whom they are all day long. The puppet Henan North Security Army used to be the national army? And it was the national security group with the worst military discipline."

"Don't talk about these bad things." The brigade commander waved his hand, "The victory of the first battle in Henan Northwest Detachment means that he has barely gained a foothold in Henan North. The next thing to consider is to strive for one or two more big wins to open up the situation as soon as possible, and not to alert the old Japanese devil Okamura, Nishiji, is a bit difficult."

Yang Dakui said: "I believe Li Yunlong and the others can do it."

"I believe it too." The brigade commander nodded.

...

Kaifeng, head of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army.

The division commander Tokumoto Shigeta was calling Uchiyama Hidetaro, the commander of the 12th Army in Jinan.

In the Japanese war zone division, Henan belongs to the defense zone of the 12th Army, and the 35th Division stationed in Kaifeng belongs to the battle sequence of the 12th Army, so Uchiyama Hidero is Shigeta Tokumatsu's immediate superior.

"Commander, the disaster in Henan this year is beyond imagination." Shigetian Desong said, "not only the disaster in the defense areas of the Chinese army is very serious, but northern Henan, which is under the control of the Imperial Army, are also in the eastern Henan. The local Chinese people have already fled on a large scale, and a few towns are no longer ten."

"So what?" Uchiyama Hidetaro said coldly, "Disaster relief is not what the Imperial Army should do."

"Hayi, I understand this." Chongtian Desong said, "The Chinese people are a lowly race and should not exist in this world, so they deserve to be starved to death. However, the disaster in Henan is so serious. Now not only the Chinese people have no food to eat, but the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army cannot collect public grain, and our division is about to lose food."

"What?" Uchiyama Hidetaro said angrily, "What's the matter with your 35th Division?"

After a pause, Uchiyama Hidetaro said: "As early as four years ago, the base camp issued an order that except for weapons and ammunition provided by the base camp, the food and fodder are raised from the local area. Why can all grain and fodder be self-sufficient in other regions? Even Shanxi, which is not a grain-producing area, be able to self-sufficient in grain and fodder, but your 35th Division cannot self-sufficient in self-sufficient?"

"Hayi." Faced with the questioning of his immediate superior, Chongtian Desong could only explain patiently, "The commander, the disaster in Henan has not stopped in the past three years, and the people have fled in large numbers. The remaining Chinese people who did not escape also sued for eating wild vegetables and bark to barely prolong their lives, so the military rations they can collect are really limited."

"So that's the case." Eitaro Uchiyama said, "But there are not many military rations in Jinan. Otherwise, I will go to Peking in a few days. I will report your information to the General. Hebei is a grain-producing area. You should have a way to raise military rations for you."

"Hayi." Shigeta Tokumatsu said, "Then I'll hang up first."

"Wait." Uchiyama Hidetaro said, "There is another situation that you need to pay attention to."

After a pause, Uchiyama Hidetaro said again: "Just received a notice from the intelligence department of the Front Army Command, Chongqing has selected a young officer named Chu Yunfei as the major general commander of the 89th Division."

"It is said that this person was born in the Shanxi Sui Army and caused a lot of trouble for the Imperial Army when he was in Shanxi."

After a pause, he said, "So, the intelligence class judged that after this person takes office, he will most likely pursuing the Chi Dianyuan tribe and Zhao Xunqi tribe in Sen County. Therefore, you need to hurry up and take the recruitment of Chi Zhao and Zhao. You can no longer make them hesitate. You must be ordered to make a final decision before the New Year."

"Hayi." Shigeta Desong said, "I understand."

As soon as the phone was hung up here, he turned around and saw Chief of Staff Rishiro Shirataki walking in.

Moreover, Shirataki Rishiro's face looked embarrassed, as if something bad happened.

Sure enough, Shirataki Rishiro paused his head as soon as he came in and said, "Secretary Commander, something happened in northern Henan."

"What happened in northern Henan?" Chongtian Desong asked with a frown, "Is it because Chi Dianyuan has repeated it?"

"Chi Dianyuan?" Shirataki Rishiro said for a moment, "Uh, it's not Chi Dianyuan, Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang, which were stationed in northern Henan, have lost their lives. There are more than 600 soldiers of the Imperial Army stationed in Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang, and only two Imperial Army soldiers escaped. The six consultants sent by the Imperial Army have also sacrificed their lives for the holy war."

"Shangzhuang? Yangmaozhuang?" Chongtian Desong's brows frowned suddenly.

I originally thought that something happened to Chi Dianyuan's tribe and Zhao Xunqi's tribe in Sen County, but in the end there was a problem with Shangzhuang and Yangmaozhuang in Xingkou, Fukou. Will there be some connection between the two?

Shirataki Rishiro asked, "Teacher Commander, do you seem to have concerns?"

"It's not a concern." Chongtian Desong waved his hand and said, "It was the intelligence class of the Front Army Command that just provided us with a very important information. It said that Chongqing sent a guy named Chu Yunfei to serve as the major general commander of the 89th Division, and it is very likely that it came from Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi's troops in Sen County."

"So that's it." Shirataki Rishiro suddenly said, "that makes sense."

"It makes sense?" Shigetian Desong was stunned for a moment and asked again, "What does it mean?"

Shirataki Rishiro said: "Second Commander, didn't I just say that the security army in northern Henan in Shangzhuang and Yangmaozhuang were not completely wiped out. Did two people escape?"

"According to these two people, the troops attacking Shangzhuang were wearing gray cloth uniforms."

He paused and said, "And he heard two of them claim to be from the 1st Brigade of Chi Dian Yuansun when they were talking."

"Baga!" Shigetian Desong said with a frown, "How can you believe such nonsense? Perhaps it is because the Chinese government forces deliberately pretend to be Chi Dianyuan's troops, and this is not impossible."

"Teacher Commander Hideaki." Shirataki Rishiro said, "I just doubted before."

He paused and said, "Combined with the situation the division commander just said, I can basically conclude that this matter must be what Chu Yunfei did. The purpose is to destroy the trust between Chi Dianyuan and the Imperial Army, and then prevent the Imperial Army from recruiting and enrolling Chi Dianyuan's troops. If the Imperial Army can be induced to send troops to suppress Chi Dianyuan's troops, it would be best."

"Will that be the case?" said Desong Shigetian. "It has not been long since the intelligence department obtained this information. Can Chu Yunfei arrive in northern Henan so quickly?"

Shirataki Rishiro said: "The division commander may not need Chu Yunfei to come in person."

"What do you mean?" Chongtian Desong said, "Chu Yunfei would not arrive. With only the thousands of defeated soldiers of the 89th Division, he could enter northern Henan without knowing it, and he could still take down Yangmaozhuang, Shangzhuang overnight?"

Shirataki Rishiro said: "The division commander, even if Chu Yunfei comes in person, it is probably impossible to transform the remaining troops of the 89th Division in a short period of time. Yes, Chu Yunfei does have some ability. He also caused great trouble to the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi when he was northwest of Shanxi, but he does not have the magical ability to turn stones into gold."

"So what?" Shigeda Tokumatsu said, "What do you think is going on?"

Shirataki Rishiro said: "The division commander, the attack on Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang is likely to be the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit District, but I dare to assert that the Eighth Route Army and Chu Yunfei must have reached some kind of cooperation. In this cooperation, the Eighth Route Army can gain benefits, while Chu Yunfei can achieve the intention of alienating the Imperial Army and Chi Dianyuan's troops."

After a pause, Shirataki Rishiro said again: "Chu Yunfei and the Eighth Route Army have always had a good relationship."

"So that's how it is." Shigeta Tokusong said suddenly, "this is logically reasonable."

Shirataki Rishiro said: "Second Commander, this will be taken seriously, especially for Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi's recruitment. Otherwise, they will form an alliance with the Eighth Route Army or be clamped by Chu Yunfei's 89th Division, and the situation in the entire northern Henan will be reversed, and our 35th Division will not be enough."

"This is the problem." Chongtian Desong said with a frown, "Chidianyuan and Zhao Xunqi were already swaying. If we were too anxious, they would probably be on the verge of starting a price."

Shirataki Rishiro's eyes rolled and said, "The division commander, there is a way."

After a pause, he said, "Didn't Chu Yunfei join forces with the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit District. The Eighth Route Army pretended to be Chi Dianyuan's troops to attack Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang, and used this to destroy the relationship between Chi Dianyuan's troops and the Imperial Army? We might as well make a plan and directly give Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang to Chi Dianyuan."

"Yo Xi." Chongtian Desong's eyes lit up and said, "Chi Dianyuan, Zhao Xunqi's troops had an agreement with the Eighth Route Army. According to this agreement, Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang should belong to the Chi Dianyuan Defense Zone. Therefore, if the Imperial Army really gave Shangzhuang and Yang Maozhuang to Chi Dianyuan, he would definitely ask for territory from the Eighth Route Army."

He paused and said, "But the Eighth Route Army will definitely not give Chi Dianyuan."

"Hayi." Shirataki Rishiro said, "In this way, Chi Dianyuan's troops will inevitably attack each other with the Eighth Route Army. As long as there is a conflict between the two sides, whether the Eighth Route Army wins or Chi Dianyuan's troops win, the relationship between the two families will inevitably be in the same situation. Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi must find a backer for themselves."

Shigetian Desong said: "The question is, do you really think Chi Dianyuan has the courage to attack the Eighth Route Army?"

Shirataki Rishiro said: "Second Commander, it doesn't matter whether Chi Dianyuan has the courage or not. The Imperial Army can help him attack the Eighth Route Army."

"Yo Xi." Shigetian Tokusong's eyes lit up instantly, and he said happily, "You mean to let the Imperial Army pretend to be Chi Dianyuan's army and attack the Eighth Route Army? This is a really good idea."

"So." Shirataki Rishiro smiled, "As long as Chi Dianyuan asked the Eighth Route Army for Shangzhuang, then this armed conflict between the two sides will inevitably be inevitable."

"There is another question." Chongtian Desong said, "How do you make sure Chi Dianyuan won't find Chu Yunfei as his backer?"

He paused and said, "You said just now that Chu Yunfei and the Eighth Route Army have always had a good relationship. Maybe Chu Yunfei has the ability to settle this conflict between Chi Dianyuan and the Eighth Route Army?"

Shirataki Rishiro waved his hand with a smile and said, "Teacher Commander, you have just been transferred from the country and are not very familiar with the urinary nature of the Chinese government army. If you have contacted senior generals of the Chinese government army, you will never be so worried. In short, Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi will never find Chu Yunfei as their backers, because in this way, their troops will definitely be annexed by Chu Yunfei, and then they will lose the foundation for their survival in northern Henan."

"Baga." Shigeta Tokusong cursed, "So complicated?"

Shirataki Rishiro smiled and said, "If you understand the human nature of the Chinese people, it will not be that complicated."

"I have no interest or time to study their human relationships and worldly ways." Shigetian Tokumoto said, "That is to say, as long as a small army impersonating Chi Dianyuan's men attack the Eighth Route Army and provoke their conflicts, the Imperial Army would just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, waiting for Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi to come to us on their own initiative."

"Yes." Shirataki Rishiro nodded, "That's it."

"Yo Xi." Shigeda Tokushin said happily, "Then you can make arrangements quickly."

"Hayi." Shirataki Rishiro paused his head, turned around and went out with a saber.

...

The Shang family has been suppressed, and the Shang family compound has also become the headquarters of the Northwest Henan Detachment.

In addition, Li Yunlong also planned to set up his headquarters in the Shang Family Courtyard from now on, because the Shang Family Courtyard is large enough to even accommodate the entire detachment. There are ready-made fortifications such as trenches and walls outside the village.

At this moment, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Ye were sitting by the fire pit of the headquarters, discussing how to open up the situation.

Just as he was talking, Lao Wang walked in with a large basin of sheep offal.

"Old Wang, be careful of your feet and never fall." Li Yunlong quickly stood up to make way for a gap.
