The commander of the Chinese army, General Chen Cheng, was also aware of the existence of Liao Fan's troops.

General Chen Cheng: "Have you found out, which unit is it, and which unit is it in this area?" ”

"Report to the general, we're investigating." A staff officer said.

"Hopefully they can hold out a little longer, just give us a day and I will be able to withdraw the troops. Chairman Chiang was still pinning his hopes on intervening with the Western countries, and our troops were all defeated. Check them out, contact them, let them resist, and ask them about their specific situation. ”

At this time, an intelligence officer rushed into Chen Cheng's headquarters: "Report to the general, find out, according to the retreating soldiers, there is a regiment commander who temporarily pulled up a team of 5,000 people from the retreating soldiers, collected weapons and ammunition along the road, and went to resist the Japanese attack." ”

"What? Pulled up temporarily? Who is this regimental leader? Which troops? Chen Cheng asked in a series of questions.

"We don't know any of this, and none of the retreating soldiers have heard of this man." The intelligence officer replied.

"Old Yuan, check it, the commanders of all the participating troops, and see who it is." Chen Cheng ordered a staff officer beside him.

"Yes." A staff officer replied.

"Report to the general, among all the troops participating in the battle, there are three regiment commanders who have not withdrawn until now, and one of the regiment commanders under Division Commander Zhu is stationed in the area of Qinghe Town, and has not yet been contacted."

"What's the name of that regimental leader? Can you get in touch with them? Chen Cheng asked.

"Report to the general, because of the urgency of the war, many of the officers promoted below have not had time to report, only the division level has saved their information, and Division Commander Zhu has died in battle when he was transferred to the western front to defend. They were improvised, there was no telegraph at all. The staff officer surnamed Yuan said.

"Send scouts, we must contact them, we really have to thank them for blocking the Japanese attack, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

At this time, the Japanese army headquarters also wondered where a unit with such strong combat effectiveness came out, could there be an ace army under the Kuomintang that they didn't know.

"Report to Kameda Osa, we have intercepted the enemy's telegram about the enemy in front." An intelligence officer reports.

"Oh, bring it here." The intelligence officer handed the document in his hand to Kameda Osa, who looked at the intelligence, "Position: Lieutenant Colonel Acting Regiment Commander, age unknown, experience unknown, once led his subordinates to attack our logistics transportation line. ”

"Baga, what does your intelligence department do for food? A bunch of rice buckets, is this also intelligence? How many such officers there are in China, we don't know anything. Kameda angrily threw the cup out of his hand, "Hurry up and find out their equipment, how many people there are, if you delay the fighter, you will have to bear all the consequences." ”

"Report to Dazuo, the commander of China judged that they were a makeshift patchwork force, and they were ignorant of their existence at first, and they were in contact with the China army." said the intelligence officer.

"Temporary composition? It is simply impossible, it is impossible for a temporary constituent army to have such a strong combat effectiveness. Kameda believed that his troops were the elite of the Japanese army, and that the temporary formation of the Shina people could not resist their attack at all.

"Report to Dazuo, they are indeed temporarily formed, and the composition is very mixed, our scouts report that they have the Central Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Guangdong Army." The intelligence officer explained.

Kameda thought for a while, clenched his fists and said: "Hurry up and find out the identity of their commander, I want to know who he is, and contact other troops to let them assist, surround the troops on the position, and kill all of them if there is no one left on the position." "This afternoon's attack has cost him a large battalion of troops, the first time in three months that he has suffered such heavy losses.

Liao Fan on the position was checking his positional defense line, not knowing that the commanders on both sides were investigating him.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, how are the casualties of the troops?" Liao Fan came to Battalion Commander Zhao's position.

"Report to the chief, it's okay to hide your strength for the first time, and the casualties are relatively small, but the continuous attacks of the little devils have made the casualties of the troops bigger and bigger." Zhao Dahai saw Liao Fan coming over and reported his casualties and ammunition consumption.

"The ammunition is quite sufficient, take care of the wounded, withdraw them first, and sleep well tonight, the little devils have not figured out our bottom, and they will not rashly attack." Liao Fan said.

"Sir, there is one more thing, we only have enough to eat for two days, and if we are surrounded tomorrow, the brothers may be defeated without a fight." Zhao Dahai expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao, I will definitely lead the troops to break through tomorrow night." Liao Fan didn't tell Zhao Dahai where to go after breaking through, Liao Fan didn't know how many brothers on this position were willing to follow him, if he told them now, the morale of the army would be in chaos at that time, let alone break through, and the whole army might be wiped out now.

"Fanzi," Liao Jundong rushed over and greeted Battalion Commander Zhao, "Fanzi, I took someone to the south to reconnoitre, there are little devils' armored vehicles on the road, it seems that the little devils are mobilizing their forces and planning to surround us." ”

"Brother, it's not normal if the little devil doesn't surround us, I just remembered to mobilize troops tonight, and the siege should start this afternoon, the little devil seems to be really worried that we will run away tonight." Liao Fan said.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, are there any mines in the troops?" Liao Fan thought that tomorrow the little devil Ken would send tanks and armored vehicles to attack.

"Yes, but not much."

"In this way, you work hard again tonight, take the mines, and the grenades, bury the mines and the grenades together, both in the places where there is cover on the offensive line, and make breakfast for the little devil tomorrow morning. Okay, let's go and prepare. "Liao arranged.

The next day, Liao Fan was really surrounded by imps, who used more than a dozen tanks and a division of troops. Liao Fan saw these through the binoculars: "Good guy, you really look up to Lao Tzu, you can drag so many troops, and it can be regarded as buying more time for the retreating troops." "In fact, Liao Fan himself is very nervous, I don't know if these temporary patchwork troops can sustain today's one-day attack, if the defense line is broken, he has not thought of a way out, he can only die.

After breakfast, the little devil began to bombard Liao Fan's position indiscriminately, attacking under the cover of tanks. After Liao Fan blew up the two tanks, the little devil really went to find a bunker, and happened to be hit by the mine that Liao Fan asked the troops to bury last night, and the little devil hiding in the bunker was instantly blown to pieces.

"Let the artillery company, aim at the infantry behind the tank and open fire, go quickly." Liao Fan grabbed the side of the soldier who ran past him and ordered.

"Boom Boom"

"Hahaha, little devil, let you taste the taste of being bombed." Hiding in the bunker, Liao Fan watched the little devil being blown up into the sky, and was very happy.

The little devil infantry was bombed and began to retreat, and without the coordination of the infantry, the little devil's tank was greatly threatened, and after being blown up two more vehicles, it began to retreat.

"Baga, they actually have artillery, why didn't they have any intelligence yesterday." One of the commanders of the little devil slapped the table, "Tell our artillerymen, mark the location of the artillery positions in China for them, and blow them up for me." "The commander of the little devil began to feel that the Chinese commander in the opposite position knew him well, but he knew nothing about him.
