There was only one class of little devils in the place where the Japanese army cooked, but they were busy eating thousands of people. There were already several groups of little devils who had come to pick up food on their own, and they did not have the slightest suspicion about the two fighters of the special operations brigade.

"This is for Your Excellency the Commander, this is for you, if it's not enough, you can come back and get it later!"

The little devil is quite good, knowing that it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers do not go hungry, after all, the logistics are good, and the soldiers can have better energy to deal with the enemy.

The two fighters of the special operations brigade took food, but went straight to the two places where the lights were on, and as soon as the command of the little devil was determined, they immediately gave their team leader a signal, and then acted.

The other teams of the special operations brigade also used the cover of the night to sneak into the city wall as much as possible, after all, controlling the commander of the little devil may not be able to make the little devil on the city wall obediently restrained, so the preparation should be the most comprehensive.

The soldiers of the special operations brigade quickly figured out the situation of the little devil's headquarters, and in the little devil's headquarters, in addition to the commander of the little devil, there was only one soldier standing guard.

In the direction of Shuozhou, Cun Qi began to sleep in his temporary headquarters since he got Liao Fan and they had arrived in Datong, and when he woke up, it was already dark.

Cunqi looked at his watch, it was already eight o'clock in the evening at this time, but for Cunqi, the time was just right.

"Are the troops ready?" Cun Qi asked the head of the regiment beside him.

"I have asked the commander of the first battalion and the commander of the second battalion to take the troops around Shuozhou, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach their destination in half an hour! Things are going well and should be able to get the job done soon! ”

"Well done!"

"Inch staff, even if our operation is successful, will those people listen to our command? It's a life-saving job. ”

"Didn't you explain to the first battalion commander before you left?" Cunqi looked at the head of the regiment in confusion and asked.

"I've explained it, but isn't there a case for everything?"

"Even if there is a problem, we don't lose anything, the final result is that we are withdrawn to Sanyin for repair, anyway, such a good weather, we are idle, and there is nothing to lose!"

Ever since Cunqi arrived in Shuozhou with his troops and played with the little devils, Cunqi has been planning another operation, anyway, all the Japanese troops in the strongholds around Shuozhou have been withdrawn to Shuozhou City. As for the rest of the things, Cun Qi is also idle, and as for the work of sweeping the tail of the little devil, let him do it.

Since the news spread that the New 33rd Army began to move north, the puppet army on the border between Shuozhou and Datong has been in a panic, and they have already heard about the prestige of the New 33rd Army, as long as the puppet army is obedient, the New 33rd Army will not do anything with them.

For the Japanese, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is really not very good, and the little devils don't want to see these puppet troops. Now it's too late for them to protect themselves, where can they care about the life or death of the puppet army.

So when the little devil ordered the troops to withdraw into Shuozhou, he ordered the puppet army to stick to the strongholds in place and ordered them to wait for help.

The puppet army is not all fools, understand what this order means, that is, if the troops of the new 33rd Army do not come, they can spend all day and drink, there is no one to restrain them, and the stronghold where they are is in heaven is heaven.

If the troops of the New Thirty-Third Army come, then they will be abandoned, and it is likely that the stronghold will be their gate to hell.

The stronghold of the puppet army tonight is not destined to be heaven, and of course, the troops of the New 33rd Army have no intention of pushing them into hell, because now after the New 33rd Army captures Datong, it will need a large number of troops to maintain local law and order and prevent the counterattack of the little devils. Or the new 33rd Army needs to rapidly expand its forces and prepare for the second phase of the offensive.

Even if you start directly from the puppet army, it is easy to have problems in terms of combat effectiveness. But it's better than recruiting people directly from the local population and then training them again.

Moreover, the strength of a unit's combat effectiveness depends largely on the commander, if the commander can't play a role, Cun Qi doesn't mind putting a few machine guns behind this group of puppet troops......

Now that the puppet army has enjoyed the blessing of power, it should also make a little contribution to the War of Resistance against Japan. This is the choice that Cunqi gave to the puppet army.

However, the purpose of Cunqi's troops is not only for these puppet troops, in Cunqi's heart, these puppet armies are not worth their hard work.

Over the past two years, the New 33 rd Army has had a clear understanding of the situation on the territory of Shanxi, and every month, the New 33 rd Army will once again update and popularize the changes in the situation of the Japanese forces in Shanxi and some important local events.

Shanxi is rich in coal resources, and you can dig out coal with a pickaxe, so Shanxi is full of large and small coal mines, since there are coal mines, someone must come to mine, and the little devil will certainly not do such a hard and tiring job.

In addition to capturing local Zhuangding to mine coal and transport coal resources, prisoners of war became the best choice. Prisoners of war served as soldiers and carried guns, and their bodies were stronger than the local people, so the Japanese army preferred to use prisoners of war to dig coal.

For the sake of Shanxi's coal, the Japanese army could concentrate a lot of prisoners of war on the border of Shanxi, among which the 10,000 prisoners of war captured in Zhongtiao Mountain were mining coal in the mines around Shuozhou.

Cun Qi came for these prisoners of war in Zhongtiao Mountain, he was a division commander in Zhongtiao Mountain, I believe that many people will know him when these prisoners of war come, as long as he stands up, I believe that more than 10,000 prisoners of war are still willing to obey his command. So Cunqi is very confident.

Now the opportunity is rare, the Japanese army has withdrawn, and the 10,000 prisoners of war are all under the care of the puppet army, in the eyes of Cunqi, these puppet troops are just decorations, and there is no difference between there and not.

"But we don't have that many weapons to equip these soldiers, and we can't last more than two days!"

What the New 33 rd Army strives for in its operations is to make a quick turn, because the New 33 rd Army's logistical capability is not strong, and it is okay to fight at home, ensuring that all kinds of materials can be delivered to the troops in a timely manner; if the battle line is lengthened, problems will begin to arise in the supply of all kinds of materials.

The best way to strike at a unit that lacks supplies is to delay time, you can hold it out in one or two days, and in four or five days you will run out of ammunition and food, and even if there is a strong battle, you will have to withdraw your troops.

"Hasn't San'in City been taken down?"

"Yes, last night, our troops took over the county seat of Sanyin!"

"Arrange for a company of soldiers to pick up supplies!"

"Staff officer, let's not talk about whether the materials in Shanyin City are enough to equip so many people, you are also a person who has been a division commander, this is not something that can be decided casually with dozens of guns, and the deployment of so many materials must be reported to Brother Fan and Minister Sun of the Logistics Department!"

The county seat of Shanyin was under the control of the new 33rd Army, but the warehouses and important materials in the county town of Shanyin were sealed, at least until the logistics department finished counting the materials, these materials could be used.

Cunqi planned everything, but he didn't expect that in the end, there was a problem on his own side. In the past, when Cun Qi was the division commander, he only needed to ask the people in the logistics department for supplies and other things, and he never thought about it so much, but now he realized that there was something wrong with him.

"You take the troops to guard the position for me, and I'll go find Brother Fan!"

As the saying goes, the supply of materials is related to the victory or defeat on the battlefield, and the victory or defeat is related to the life and death of these thousands of people, of course, Cun Qi will not let go of such a good opportunity, so he decided to find Liao Fan and let Liao Fan promise them the materials in Shanyin City to be transferred at will.

"Staff officer, it's not good for us to capture so many puppet soldiers and rescue so many prisoners of war, there's no need to compete with the Japanese army in Shuozhou City, right?"

Shuozhou City is not comparable to Datong, although the fortifications outside Shuozhou City have been destroyed, but the Japanese army in Shuozhou City can not lose at all, to take Shuozhou City is not only a matter of material supply and troops.

Regarding Cunqi's idea, the officers present all understood that if they really followed Cunqi's plan, they successfully took Shuozhou City, which would not only be a great achievement. It can be said that the anti-Japanese situation on the ground in Shanxi will be changed as a whole.

But if you want to take Shuozhou City, there are too many variables, not only the material, but also those prisoners of war who have just come out of the mining area, how much their combat effectiveness still exists, this is all variables.

Cun Qi looked at the expressions of everyone present, and it was clear that no one was willing to support him in doing so.

This is not a question of whether they have made meritorious achievements in war or not, and as officers of the New 33rd Army, they must be responsible for the troops. If Cun Qi really gave the order for them to attack Shuozhou, they would definitely attack with their troops without saying a word. But in the end, the troops were lost, and Shuozhou City could not be captured, who would bear the responsibility?

Although Cun Qi is now their top boss, he is still the head of the guard regiment, and after this battle, maybe he will have nothing to do with them anymore. In the end, there was a mess that had to be cleaned up by the officers present.

"Staff officer, I suggest that we write a report on the situation here and report it to Brother Fan, at least let the rescued prisoners of war have a full meal and a good rest!"

The Japanese prisoners of war are overworked, and these prisoners of war must need to rest when they are rescued, and it is irresponsible to send them to the battlefield as soon as they are rescued. Although these prisoners of war were not soldiers of the New 33rd Army, they were still Chinese.

Cun Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and suppressed the impulse in his heart: "You can watch this matter, and when the troops come back, we will retreat!" If it is not yet dawn when all the troops are withdrawn, we will launch an attack to test the situation of Shuozhou's city defense. ”

In the end, Cun Qi decided to give up the plan of attacking Shuozhou in an all-out way, but he still did not give up and wanted to test the real situation of the Japanese army in Shuozhou City.
