The Japanese dare not fight anymore. They are not afraid of Li Jian. The matter of the Independent Detachment can be done by two divisions together. They will definitely be able to fight the Independent Detachment in half a month.

But if that happens, they will not be able to think of the combat effectiveness of their two divisions within half a year, and their previous preparations will definitely be ruined.

There were already differences between the Japanese navy and the army. Now it seems that if the army cannot fight well, it will probably be ridiculed to death by the navy!

The Japanese urgently hope that a big victory will increase their face, and the important cabinet and other important military expenses will be allocated a little more.

The Central Army is very happy now because they received the order that they did not need to guard it, so they could retreat.

The positions were left to guard by the Third Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the Third Brigade.

At this moment, several regiment commanders of the Central Army were very disdainful because even the two divisions could not defend, how could a mere regiment be able to defend!

Although the Eighth Route Army has a large group of people and the Independent Brigade has six regiments, of course, this is just a matter of Chongqing's organization, in fact, he only has three brigades now, and the troops have not yet been expanded!

But Chongqing knew that the Eighth Route Army wanted to expand its troops privately, and there were situations where a regiment reached tens of thousands of people, let alone an independent brigade with strong troops.

With three or four ordinary regiments of the Eighth Route Army nearby, the combat power does not have to be much different from each division.

But the Japanese have two independent infantry brigades, with more than 10,000 people!

Even if you are an independent brigade, you may not be an opponent!

But this time they were wrong. Li Jian's artillery regiment has not moved yet. In addition, many of his trump cards have not been taken out, so he may not be able to recover the lost territory, but there is no problem in defending his own territory.

"The Eighth Route Army is really arrogant, but this time Li Jian is over. The Japanese have hoarded heavy troops here, unless he really has steel teeth!"

A commander of the Central Army said disdainfully that the people next to him were already packing their things and they were preparing to withdraw back to Xi'an to rest first, but no one knew that when they came, they had never fought a few major battles at all!

The Central Army in Henan still has several good troops, and at least they have fought bloody battles with the Japanese, otherwise they would have been lost to the west long ago.

"Yes! But he deserves it. Who made him offend the commissioner!"

The commander of the x4th regiment shouted with relief. In fact, he still felt very happy. After all, he never regarded the Eighth Route Army as a friendly army!

"Everyone, after all, they are all fighting Japanese devils. Don't say so badly!"

Although there are not many good things, there are also many people in the Central Army who really fight the Japanese, so the regiment commander will not take any damage. Although he also knows that there will be a battle with the Eighth Route Army in the future, he is now fighting against foreign humiliation!

"Hmph, if you can, the next time you fight the Japanese, you will be the first to join the group!"

A regiment commander shouted, "This is the leader of their fourth regiment, one of the two most popular regiment commanders of their division, both airborne, so no benefit can be lost on them."

In terms of equipment, these two regiments are definitely the worst. If the division commander didn’t want to cause disputes, their weapons would probably be very poor!

"Our group will go first, then our group will go first!"

"Yes, anyway, our two regiments, as the troops behind the rear, will continue to stay nearby for a while!"

The two regiment leaders were in conflict with these people because they did not fight the Japanese seriously and always engaged in speculation.

"Okay, that's what you said!"

"Teacher, we didn't force them. They wanted to stay here!"

Several team leaders quickly forced the two of them to stay. When the commander saw it, he pretended to ask:

"You're really going to stay?"

"certainly!"

The words have been released, how could they be taken back? And the commander probably thought about it early in the morning to leave them behind!

"Okay, I'll leave you a weapon and equipment. I hope you will fight the Japanese well on behalf of my xx2nd Division!"

A group of people finally got into the car and headed straight for Xi'an.

Little did they know that even if they temporarily retreated to Xi'an, they would be pulled back in the end because the battle next year would be very tragic.

The three battalions of the third brigade on Li Jian quickly drove to Lin Town and occupied several important nearby locations.

In fact, the Japanese in this place should not want much, unless they want to send a commando to the back of the Central Army, otherwise they would not be able to easily call them!

As for the command center, Li Jian still came early as usual, and then he was still the same as before, and lay down as soon as he wrapped his coat.

"Captain, telegram from the Third Team!"

Qin Hong put down the telegram and continued to work. At this moment, Li Jian picked it up and saw that it was some information.

"Oh, this Central Army will actually leave people behind, it's not bad..."

However, after he saw the information about the Japanese, he was not very calm because the Japanese were actually starting to change lines to transport supplies.

They no longer acted like before on the Zhengtai Road, but instead moved south from the Jinpu Line to Xuzhou, and then transported materials to Jincheng and other places.

This was awful, because they had no troops in the east, and only two independent battalions were there, and their development was greatly restricted. Li Jian had asked them to retreat west before, and the situation there was a bit dangerous.

"Captain, something seems to be happening on the third team!"

Xu Ming strode in at this moment. When the door was opened, a cold wind blew in. Of course, Li Jian was completely sleepy.

"What's wrong? Are the Japanese in the south acting?"

"Yes, the Japanese have just pulled themselves apart and have three independent infantry brigades in front of them. It seems that they are about to launch an attack!"

Xu Ming drank a cup of hot water, his face turned red by the wind. Li Jian slapped the telegram in his hand on the table and began to say:

"Don't worry, the Japanese dare not launch an attack. Their supplies have not yet been in place. If we start fighting with us now, we can use it to death!"

Li Jian believed that the Japanese knew his strength very well and did not dare to do anything randomly. At least they had to wait after the New Year. Otherwise, his third brigade would have more than 10,000 people, and even if they didn't help, they would pull the artillery regiment over and blow these bastards to death.

During this period, Daniu always nagged that his cannon had been wiped cleanly, and he was thinking about when he could fire a few cannons, otherwise the soldiers would be so nervous!

"Go and notify Jin Zilong, shrink the defense line during this period. If the Japanese come over, don't bother them. Build mines on the ground hard to see if they dare to come over?"

Li Jian shouted to the correspondent beside him, and the order was quickly issued.

Jin Zilong had received a landmine sent by the arsenal before, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. Now it seems that Li Jian had expected it!

But now the Japanese are anxious. They were not afraid to face the Central Army. These people have a bit rigid tactics, and they are not good at the commander, so they can be captured soon. But once they encounter the Eighth Route Army, the result will be different.
