When Ichiro Watanabe led the hundreds of remaining Japanese devils to return to the county town, Liu Dazhu and the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion had already left the county town. Looking at the broken command center, the corpses all over the ground, and the empty arms warehouse, Ichiro Watanabe almost went crazy.

Ichiro Watanabe's eyes were red and grabbed a Japanese staff officer, and shouted in a stern manner: "Baga, why is this happening?"

The sad Japanese staff officer only knew how to keep "Hi, Hi, Hi...".

Ichiro Watanabe returned to his command room in a daze, knowing that he was in danger of being blamed today. Today's defeat, hundreds of elite imperial elites died. A few days ago, he arrived in Xin'an County from Shijiazhuang. The supplies of a field corps that were ready to be transported to Taiyuan in a few days were transported by the Eighth Route Army. These were enough for me to cut a caesarean section to thank the Emperor. Thinking of this, Ichiro Watanabe faced the east and used his command knife to make a standard cross on his abdomen, making loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

Not long after Zhang Yunfei led the special forces to the Third Battalion Command, he heard an urgent footstep from outside. Not long after, the instructor Fang Zheng pushed the door and came in excitedly and said to Zhang Yunfei: "Battery Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Dazhu and the others are back."

"Oh, okay! Instructor, let's go to the village entrance to welcome our triumphant heroes." Zhang Yunfei also said with a smile on his face.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw soldiers lined up in a long queue and slowly coming. Each soldier was smiling and full of energy. Each soldier was carrying several guns, and some were carrying a whole box of ammunition. Behind the soldiers, there were hundreds of ordinary people who were pushing wheelbarrows or driving ox carts. It seemed that this time I went to the county town, I had made a lot of money and made a lot of money.

Seeing the battalion commander and instructor standing at the entrance of the village to welcome the soldiers, Liu Dazhu walked forward quickly and stood attentively to report: "Report to the battalion commander, Liu Dazhu successfully completed the task and led the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to return successfully."

Zhang Yunfei patted Liu Dazhu on the shoulder and said, "Dazhu is a good person, and it did not disappoint us."

A big victory was won today, and the entire 3rd battalion was filled with joy. Zhang Yunfei also specially ordered the kitchen team to add food to the soldiers tonight. In the evening, the kitchen team slaughtered another big fat pig. At night, the entire 3rd battalion was filled with a charming aroma of meat.

In the evening, in the conference room of the 3rd Battalion Command, Zhang Yunfei convened all military chiefs and above platoon commanders of the 3rd Battalion to have a meeting. Today, he won such a big victory, and he must summarize it carefully.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the comrades who were sitting neatly and smiling and said, "Comrades, today we won a great victory, annihilated hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and seized more equipment and supplies. The number was counted before the meeting. We seized more than 3,000 Type 38 fast guns, more than 200 crooked machine guns, more than 100 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and hundreds of thousands of bullets. In addition, 12 Type 92 infantry cannons and 36 60mm slap guns were seized. The shells had 5 bases. More than 100 Thomson submachine guns and several sniper rifles were found in this batch of supplies. These happened to be the supplies urgently needed by our special forces."

"Battalion Commander, our 3rd Battalion is rich now, and it is more generous than Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army." Company Commander Wang Haiyang said with a smile. After hearing the company commander's words, the other comrades showed their eyes of agreement.

"Actually, the battalion commander has not finished speaking yet. The first company commander is right. Our 3rd battalion is now really rich. Among the seized equipment and materials, there are more than 50,000 yuan in the ocean, more than 100 kilograms of gold, more than 1,000 stones of grain, and a large amount of cotton and cloth, some medicines, and thousands of new Japanese military uniforms?" The instructor also added happily.

When the instructor said that so much real money had been seized, the platoon leaders of each company had been coming back to their senses for a long time. After a while, everyone laughed and applauded.

Seeing everyone's joy from the bottom of their hearts, Zhang Yunfei pressed his hands down, and everyone suddenly became quiet. Zhang Yunfei continued: "We currently have a large number of weapons and equipment, and the troops need to accelerate their development. I decided to draw 30 veterans from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies to form a 4th company, artillery company, heavy firepower company, and battalion-directed guard platoon. The recruit company has finished training and supplemented each company."

As soon as Zhang Yunfei's words stopped, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Dazhu asked anxiously: "Battery Commander, how do you equip the personnel and weapons of each company and platoon?"

"This is exactly what I will say next. Companies 1, 2, 3, and 4 are infantry companies. Each company has three infantry platoons, a company-directed squad and a company. The company consists of a kitchen squad, a 5-person sanitation emergency team, and a small number of communication and guard personnel. Each squad is under its jurisdiction, with 12 people per squad, equipped with 8 Type 38 rifles, a crooked machine gun and a grenade launcher. The company-directed squad is equipped with 3 60mm squads, and more than 140 people in the entire company.

The artillery company was equipped with 12 Type 92 infantry artillery and 24 60mm slap guns, with more than 160 people in the entire company and several horses used to pull artillery and transport ammunition.

The heavy firepower company has three heavy firepower platoons, each of which is equipped with 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 6 crooked machine guns, and more than 120 soldiers in the company.

The battalion's direct guard platoon was under the jurisdiction of three infantry squads, all equipped with Thomson's submachine guns."

After saying this, Zhang Yunfei looked around everyone, and they were still immersed in deep shock. More than a month ago, everyone was used to the hardship of poor life. They suddenly became landlords and their roles were not changed for a while.

After a while, after everyone accepted the landlords and wealthy, Zhang Yunfei continued: "In the next stage, on the one hand, we must strengthen training, especially live-fire training; on the other hand, we must accelerate the expansion of the troops and continue to carry out recruitment work. We must all young and middle-aged people who are determined to fight the Japanese and can temporarily be trained in the recruit company. In addition, our company will be divided into nearby villages and increase the strategic depth."

The next day, each company organized its equipment and set up its own way to various nearby villages. The base area was further expanded. A few days later, several large villages around Xin'an County were stationed with Eighth Route Army troops, and some small villages had established militia teams of more than a dozen or dozens of people. Zhang Yunfei replaced the former Hanyang and old sleeves and gave them to the militia teams.

Taiyuan, the commander of the First Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Katsuki Kiyoshi and Chief of Staff were enjoying their tea. Two young and beautiful Japanese women in kimonos opposite Katsuki Kiyoshi were kneeling and serving carefully.

Holding up the exquisite teacup, Kanji Katsuki took a sip and said to the chief of staff next to him: "Mr. Inoue, the Longjing tea in China is really good, and it makes people feel aftertaste for a long time."

The Chief of Staff replied respectfully: "Hi, Commander, Longjing, Maojian, Guaji, etc. in China are all famous teas, which can be compared with the teas of the Empire."

Suddenly, a communication soldier walked quickly to Katsuki Kiyoshi with a few telegrams in his hand, stood attentively and saluted: "Commander, the Watanabe Brigade of Xin'an County is urgently telegrammed. The telegram said that Xin'an County was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The equipment of about a field corps in Xin'an County's arsenal was looted. More than 500 imperial warriors of Watanabe Brigade were broken, and Watanabe Ichinobu had a caesarean section and was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Baga, Ichiro Watanabe, this idiot." Katsuki Kiyoshi was so angry that he threw the exquisite tea cup in his hand to the ground.

"Commander, do we need to increase the garrison in Xin'an County? Xin'an County is located in the east of Taihang Mountain? If Xin'an County is occupied by China, the Eighth Route Army of the Chinese Navy will further expand their Taihang Mountain base." The Chief of Staff suggested with a solemn expression.

Xiangyue Qingsi walked to the huge military map with a serious expression and looked at the map of Xin'an County in a daze.

Currently, the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi is under the jurisdiction of the 6th, 14th and 20th Divisions. The 6th and 14th Divisions, the Jinsui Army of Yan Xishan in southwestern Shanxi and the Central Army of Wei Lihuang. The 1st Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division is stationed in Datong.

"Do you find out which Eighth Route Army unit attacked Xin'an County?" Xiangyue Qingsi looked at the map for a while and said to the correspondents.

The communications soldier stood attentively and said, "Commander, the 20th Division just said in the telegram that the 3rd Battalion of the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army attacked Xin'an County."

When he heard that a battalion of the Eighth Route Army attacked Xin'an County where a Japanese infantry brigade was stationed, Kiyoshi Katsuki said angrily: "Baga, Ichiro Watanabe is such a fool. The county town that was heavily guarded was actually captured by a battalion of the Eighth Route Army."

The chief of staff and the correspondents dared not answer the answer, so they had to stand attentively and bow their heads in front of the Qingsi Kazuki.

"Order the Ozawa Brigade of the 20th Division to be transferred to Xin'an County and strengthen the vigilance of the surrounding Eighth Routes." Xiangyue Qingji said.
