As a soldier, I am most afraid that others will say that I can't do it, not to mention that they used to be officers, and they won't admit that they can't do it, they are all a group of strong men, otherwise they will still insist on working in the army with broken arms and legs.

"Oops! A few old brothers, I didn't say you can't do it! Shen Zhengwen's head was a little big for a while, these people usually looked very gentle, but now why did they become so irritable when they went to the battlefield, "You listen to me first, okay, there are still a large number of Japanese prisoners of war in the mining area, if you take the troops away, what if the little devils in the mining area make trouble?" So someone has to guard the house! ”

"This ......" several staff officers didn't know how to refute, because what Shen Zhengwen said was very right, after all, the essential job of the mine protection team is to protect the safety of the mining area.

"Captain, we can understand this, but we can't bring any of them, right?"

They all know that Shen Zhengwen has no experience on the battlefield, and his only experience is the exercise with Ma Wanzhong's division, but the combat style of the New 33rd Army is completely different from the combat style of the little devil, and for Shen Zhengwen, a novice on the battlefield, he needs experienced people to constantly give him advice on the side.

Shen Zhengwen also seemed to understand the good intentions of the staff officers, after all, the troops were not his own, these soldiers were China's national defense forces, and it was of course best to be able to sacrifice less.

"Okay, take me and bring three people, you decide for yourself! And you two, don't go. ”

Those who are inconvenient on their legs will definitely not be able to move with the troops, after all, this battle will not end in an hour or two hours, they need a high-intensity march, and after the operation is successful, the route they have to retreat may have to go out in a large circle.

"Also, we're only going to have to bring seven days' worth of food!"

Shen Zhengwen thought about it, there will definitely be many difficulties in this battle, at least for a while they will not be able to return to Jiazhuang Town, so let the soldiers bring more food and ammunition, so as not to have a special situation and make the soldiers hungry.

After arranging everything, Shen Zhengwen began to convene various officers under his command to hold a combat meeting.

Liu Chundao and Hu Guoshan had already learned of the siege of Jingcheng, and they sent several telegrams in succession, asking if Ma Wanzhong needed support, but Ma Wanzhong replied to them with only two words: "No."

Ma Wanzhong already felt humiliated by being surrounded, and now he was sent a telegram by the other two division commanders to ask, how could he take the initiative to ask the two of them for support according to his temper.

In particular, Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong used to be old opponents of the New 33rd Army, and Ma Wanzhong refused to ask Hu Guoshan for support.

However, it may not be you who knows you best, but your nemesis. After Hu Guoshan received Ma Wanzhong's telegram, he knew that a special accident had occurred in Jingcheng, otherwise with Ma Wanzhong's temper, he would definitely ridicule Hu Guoshan in the telegram.

"Communication soldier, tell Deputy Division Commander Zhao that he is in charge of the affairs at home, and strictly prevent the little devils from Shanxi from attacking us!"

Where in Shanxi there are still troops to sneak attack them, if there is, the Japanese army would have sent reinforcements to support Datong and Shuozhou directions, and now the northeast of Jin has become a pot of porridge, and the little devil can't wait to send all the troops to the east of Jin, and he has no time to pay attention to Hu Guoshan and them.

Hu Guoshan's division can now be said to be strong and strong, and now Hu Guoshan's division has become the number one main force of the new 33rd Army, which is also reflected in the strength of troops.

Since knowing the benefits of hiding troops, Hu Guoshan deliberately left a little force to hide every time, on the surface, Hu Guoshan had 20,000 troops in a division, but he also secretly hid at least 5,000 troops.

Of course, Hu Guoshan didn't deliberately hide it and didn't report it, he originally kept it to surprise the little devil.

Now that Ma Wanzhong is in trouble, Hu Guoshan, of course, is unwilling to hide anymore, and urgently mobilizes more than 5,000 people to set off.

Hu Guoshan's first stop was the stone gate, where Liu Chun's knife master was stationed. Liu Chundao didn't know Ma Wanzhong so well, and after he received Ma Wanzhong's telegram, he really thought that Ma Wanzhong was now at ease, so he didn't care about the war in the Jingcheng area anymore.

It wasn't until Hu Guoshan came to Shimen with his troops, and after Hu Guoshan's analysis, Liu Chundao knew that the war in the Jingcheng area was a little different from what he imagined.

"Lao Hu, where did your unit come from? In order to support the Jingcheng region, you won't drain the defense forces of the three county towns, right? Liu Chundao looked at the people brought by Ma Wanzhong, and felt a little too much.

Hu Guoshan just smiled, and then said to Liu Chundao: "Don't care where I came from so many troops, but let me tell you first, my troops alone are definitely not enough, the little devil has already mobilized most of Hebei's troops, so I need to borrow some manpower from you!" ”

"Of course there is no problem with this, it is incumbent on us to rescue the Jingcheng area!" Liu Chundao immediately agreed, "But I can't draw so many troops from you, I can support 3,000 people at most!" ”

Although there is no need for many troops in the Shimen area to prevent the little devils from entering the mountain, Liu Chundao has to be just in case, during the special period, after all, they are guarding the gate of the military station, and once there is a problem, the inside of the station is likely to suffer.

"Of course I know this, three thousand people are enough!"

Although Hu Guoshan usually has a bad temper, he is not without emotional intelligence. The New Thirty-third Army is a whole, and since he followed Liao Fan, he has understood. Therefore, of course, the rescue cannot be done only by their division.

Otherwise, after the war, Liao Fan asked why Liu Chundao did not arrange troop support, which would obviously embarrass Liu Chundao at that time, which was obviously not conducive to the unity within the New 33rd Army.

And with Ma Wanzhong's temper, if only Hu Guoshan's troops came to support him, Ma Wanzhong would definitely feel aggrieved, and only Ma Wanzhong could compete with Hu Guoshan's division in the new 33rd Army, but now that he has fallen to Hu Guoshan to support him, how can he feel good in his heart.

In view of these two considerations, Hu Guoshan decided to take a trip to the stone gate.

There are some things that Hu Guoshan is also very clear, that is, it is impossible for the Japanese army to give up on Jingcheng, just as it is impossible for the Japanese army in Shanxi to give up on Heshun County.

But Hebei is not different from Shanxi, Shanxi was attacked on three sides at the beginning, but Hebei did not have so many worries, so the little devils could draw troops from the rear as much as they wanted, until they drove the new 33rd Army back to Taihang Mountain.

Liu Chundao asked Tian Ziqi to follow Hu Guoshan with a regiment of troops, and he was ready to listen to Hu Guoshan's dispatch at any time.

Hu Guoshan knew very well that even if he had a force of 8,000 people in his hands, after arriving in the Jingcheng area, it was nothing more than delaying the time of the little devils. If you want the little devil to give up the attack completely, just beating around Jing Cheng will definitely not solve the problem.

After Hu Guoshan arrived at Jingcheng with his troops, he immediately put his troops into battle, and the scale of the battle expanded again.

Although Hu Guoshan knew that this would not solve the fundamental problem, he did not find the flaw of the little devil now, so he could only temporarily let the troops enter the battle to reduce the pressure on Jing Cheng.

Ma Wanzhong had already ordered his troops to withdraw into Jingcheng City, and the Japanese army also took this opportunity to occupy all the outlying positions outside Jingcheng City and prepare to launch an attack on Jingcheng City.

But Ma Wanzhong obviously felt that the firepower of the Japanese army attacking Jingcheng had weakened, and took this opportunity Ma Wanzhong began to order all troops to take turns to rest, after all, the battle had been fought for so long, and the physical strength of the soldiers was huge, and now that there was an opportunity, of course better news was needed.

In the wilderness east of Shuozhou, the sun had already risen in the east, and after organizing several attacks, the commander of the first battalion looked at the soldiers with tired faces behind him, and knew very well that it was impossible for them to break through.

The Japanese army has more and more troops, but the number of troops in their hands is getting smaller and smaller, let alone those puppet soldiers and rescued prisoners of war.

The first battalion commander was a little desperate, there were so many people, the little devils would definitely not keep them, and when they ran out, the little devils would definitely slaughter all these prisoners of war.

The commander of the first battalion has ordered the troops to switch from offensive to defensive, and some bloody men have taken the initiative to supplement their troops, which makes the first battalion commander feel gratified, at least these prisoners of war are not numb, as long as people are not numb, it means that they can still be saved.

The Japanese army seems to know that the first battalion commander does not have much food in their hands, and they did not attack them, once these people run out of food and do not need to attack at all, these people will definitely take the initiative to surrender, and then the little devils will shoot and slaughter directly.

A similar situation occurred east of Shuozhou and Yujing, except that in Yujing, the New 33rd Army surrounded the Japanese army, and in this place, the Japanese army surrounded the New 33rd Army, but both sides waited for the enemy inside the encirclement to consume food and had no combat strength before making a move.

Liao Fan, who was far away in Datong, didn't know that the soldiers of the two battalions were in trouble, and at this time he was packing up his things in the little devil's headquarters, although the valuable information was burned by the little devils, but this place was really a good choice as the headquarters.

Now that Datong City has been recovered, Liao Fan needs to arrange the defense of Datong City, after all, the north of Datong is still facing the threat of the Japanese army from the Suiyuan area, at least he can't put all the hope of dragging the little devil on the Seventh Army.

Just when Liao Fan was deep in thought, Liao Fan received information from the direction of Hebei, and the Japanese army in the direction of Hebei was carrying out a large-scale mobilization, and the target was the Jingcheng area.

Now that Liao Fan is not in the headquarters, the information description is not detailed enough, and he has no way to judge the situation in the headquarters.

"Communication soldier, you hurriedly rush back to the station, tell Staff Officer Li, and let him coordinate Hu Guoshan's division and Liu Chundao's division to support the Jingcheng area!"

Liao Fan obviously didn't know that Hu Guoshan had already led his troops to Jingcheng.
