"What's the matter today, it's so late, why hasn't the regiment commander given the order to have dinner yet. Did the regiment commander sleep," a company commander pointed to the regimental command post not far away and said to the deputy company commander beside him.

"I don't know, but there is no news from the two regiments next to us. Maybe the regiment commanders and division commanders are in a meeting now," the deputy company commander said with the same frown.

And at this time, under everyone's gaze, the regimental command post finally had a trace of movement. Because, a few guards who were still standing around the headquarters just now immediately gathered at the door of the headquarters tent. As everyone waited, the curtain of the tent was slowly pushed open, and the regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, and chief of staff walked out of the tent of the headquarters under the "protection" of several guards.

However, to everyone's surprise, the regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander and even the chief of staff, under the protection of these guards, not only did not react, but slowly walked towards the middle of the barracks.

"Oh no, brethren, these are not brethren from the guard company. Brothers, immediately copy the guys and surround them all, they are not a guard company, the regimental commander is controlled by them. Just as everyone was making way for the regiment commander, a battalion commander looked at the soldiers of the unfamiliar guard company in front of him, suddenly reacted, and shouted an order to the soldiers who were still at a loss.

At the "click" moment, the sound of a bullet loading sounded among the soldiers. The soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who were surrounded by a guard platoon around the battalion commander immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at the "guard company" surrounded by everyone. One by one, soon, hundreds of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who had received orders around the enemy regimental commander raised their weapons in their hands.

"Head Wang, tell your people not to move. Otherwise, none of us will survive, don't forget, now your brigade commander and division commander have all been captured by us. What's more, around you, there are 20,000 troops of our reading divisions. "I saw the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army raising their weapons around them. A squad leader of a special operations brigade who was following the enemy regiment commander hurriedly said to the enemy regiment commander with a panicked face beside him.

"Yes, Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I will definitely do what you say." Looking at the murderous aura on the face of the squad leader next to him, he felt that the dagger on his neck was emitting bursts of cold light. The commander of the Jin Sui Corps hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Brothers, don't act rashly, beside me is the Eighth Route Army's Reading Force Division Special Operations Brigade. Please everyone, immediately listen to the order of the commander of the Eighth Route Army, lay down your weapons, and quickly put down the weapons in your hands" The commander of the Jin Sui Corps hurriedly ordered to the soldiers, who were holding their weapons and could fire at any time.

"Ah Eighth Route Army Commander, how can you be such a regiment commander, if we surrender to the Eighth Route Army's Reading Division, the brigade commander and division commander will definitely not let us go" As soon as the regiment commander's words were finished, among the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army beside him, it immediately caused a panic.

"Brothers of the Jin Suijun, I know what you are worried about, worried about the retribution of the commander after surrendering. However, here, I can tell you unequivocally that just last night, your regiment commander, division commander, and all brigade commanders were all captured by our special operations brigade of the Reading Division. So, you have only one choice now, and that is to lay down your weapons. I promise that as long as we lay down our arms, our Eighth Route Army will definitely not embarrass everyone. Seeing the soldiers in chaos around him, the team leader hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Why should we believe your words, besides, it's a big deal to fight to the death. As long as you have a few dozen people, I don't believe it, we have more than a thousand people, and we can't contain dozens of you. Listen, hurry up and lay down your weapons and let go of our regimental commander. Just as the squad leader's words were finished, a battalion commander of the Jin Sui Army, seeing the Eighth Route Army with only a few dozen people, shouted loudly.

After listening to the words of the battalion commander, hundreds of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army immediately raised their rifles again. Both sides are on tension and could open fire at any moment.

"Brothers of Jin Suijun, please don't make unnecessary sacrifices, although we only have a few dozen people. However, around you, there are 20,000 troops of our Eighth Route Army, which has surrounded you. As long as you open fire, I guarantee that our main forces will definitely attack. When the time comes, there will be a river of blood, please think about it carefully, there are still twenty minutes left, and our main force will attack" Seeing that the saber-rattling scene was restored again, the leader of the special operations team who led the team said again. At the same time, the right hand, which was clenched with the bayonet, once again moved a little closer to the neck of the enemy regimental commander in his arms. Suddenly, a few drops of bright red blood slowly flowed down his neck.

"Ah, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, spare the brothers, if you don't want to die, listen to my orders immediately. Around us, there were really 20,000 heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army, as well as artillery and tanks. If you want to live, give me the order of the commander of the Eighth Route Army immediately, put down the weapons in my hand, and surrender to the Eighth Route Army, hurry" I felt the stinging pain in my neck. The commander of the enemy regiment couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said to the soldiers around him.

"Regiment commander, I'm sorry, although we have to obey your orders, but if we let Commander Yan, the brigade commander, and the division commander know, we still won't be able to live." As he spoke, the battalion commander, who had just been encouraging the soldiers to refuse to surrender, slowly raised the pistol in his hand.

"Damn, Camp Commander Wang, what do you want to do, immediately put down the weapons in your hands and let the brothers surrender. You don't want to live, brothers still want to live," looked at the muzzle of the black hole, and the regiment commander hurriedly said.

"Bang" A sharp gunshot reached the ears of the regiment commander. The head of the regiment closed his eyes tightly, waiting for death to come. But to his surprise, after a few seconds, he still didn't feel any pain. Out of curiosity, the head of the regiment slowly opened his eyes. I saw that a few meters away, the battalion commander, who had just wanted to shoot at him, was holding his bloody right hand and squatting on the ground. And the rest of the soldiers, seeing the scene in front of them, were all in a panic, and the muzzle of the gun was raised again.

"Regiment commander, regiment commander, it's not good, something is wrong" Just when everyone was at a loss, a herald rushed towards his regimental headquarters with a sweaty head. But when he rushed into the encirclement and saw the captured regiment commander, he was immediately stunned, not knowing what to do?

"Xiao Wang, in such a hurry, is something wrong?" Seeing the stunned herald, a cautious battalion commander, he hurriedly asked.

"Battalion Commander Li, something is wrong, something big is wrong. Our brigade commander, division commander were captured by the Eighth Route Army" saw the commander of the first battalion. The herald was visibly relieved and quickly replied.

"What? The division commander and the brigade commander were captured by the Eighth Route Army? The second battalion commander asked in disbelief. At this moment, the muzzles of the hundreds of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army on the periphery of the encirclement had unconsciously lowered a lot after hearing this astonishing news.

"Brothers of the Jin Sui Army, you have all heard it, and now your division commanders, regiment commanders, and brigade commanders have all been captured by our Eighth Route Army. As long as you lay down your arms, I promise you, you will not be harmed in any way. Even if you go back and continue to be a soldier, your Commander Yan Xishan won't say anything. Now there are only fifteen minutes left before the attack of our main forces, please think about it quickly. At this moment, the squad leader Ma Shan seized this favorable opportunity and said loudly to the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army beside him.

And after listening to the squad leader's words, although the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army did not have any reaction. However, at the same time, they turned their eyes to the two remaining battalion commanders of the entire station. However, to the disappointment of these soldiers, the only two remaining battalion commanders were also frowning.

"Brothers of the Jin Sui Army, there are still ten minutes left" Just when hundreds of Jin Sui soldiers were waiting for the orders of the two battalion commanders at a loss, the squad leader once again loudly said the remaining time.

"Commander, something is wrong, something is wrong. Around the barracks, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army were found. The peripheral troops asked for instructions on whether to open fire immediately to block the Eighth Route Army troops on the periphery. Just when the two battalion commanders were at odds, another exclamation reached everyone's ears.

"Brothers of the Jin Sui Army, our main force has already begun to move. There are only eight minutes left until the final total time. Two commanders of the Jin Sui Army, do you really want to see so many soldiers lose in vain in the artillery fire of the civil war? The team leader didn't have any expression on his face, and continued to order.

"Brothers, lay down your arms. We are soldiers to fight devils, not civil wars. Obey my orders, lay down all their arms, surrender to the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and surrender to the heroic troops of the resistance. Finally, after a fierce ideological struggle, a battalion commander let out a long sigh and said loudly.

"Brothers, all obey the orders of the commander of the battalion. We joined the Jin Sui Army to fight the little devils, and we must not die in the hands of our own people without knowing it. They all obeyed the order, laid down their arms, and surrendered to the heroic troops of the resistance. As soon as the first battalion commander finished speaking, the remaining battalion commander immediately chimed in.

In this way, under the orders of the two battalion commanders, the hundreds of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who surrounded the soldiers immediately put down their weapons one after another and surrendered. As for the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army on the periphery of the position, under the orders of the two battalion commanders, they laid down their weapons one after another and walked out of their positions. In less than five minutes, more than a thousand soldiers of the Jin Sui Army, to everyone's surprise, all laid down their weapons.

"Hurry up, immediately send a signal to the captain and the main force, and let the main force immediately send troops to receive prisoners" Looking at the more than 1,000 Jin Sui army prisoners in front of him, the leader of the special operations team who led the team couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly ordered to one of the team members beside him. "Bang" A sharp gunshot rang out, and a signal flare flew into the sky.

Soon, in the sky above the entire Jin Sui army's residence, one after another signal flares sounded.

"It's finally over. The first brigade of the directly subordinate column was ordered to disperse into the position of the Jinsui army with the battalion as a unit and accept prisoners. The remaining three regiments, left on guard. "Watch one flare after another burst into the air and explode. Liu Hua, the division commander who had been nervous, couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and ordered with excitement on his face to Shen Qinghua, the commander of the first brigade in front of him.

"Yes, division commander" Because the troops have surrendered, in the face of the well-equipped Eighth Route Army troops, there is no resistance in the huge barracks. In less than an hour, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Jin Sui Army were all concentrated. At the same time, a large amount of weapons and ammunition were also quickly transported by the soldiers to Jiexiu City by car.

"Report to the division commander, the commander of the Jin Sui Army, Wang Jing, the division commander, asked to see you, and he is now outside the headquarters." Just when the division commander Liu Hua was standing in the tent that should have belonged to the headquarters of the Jinsui Army, waiting for the soldiers to send specific results. Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations team, reported loudly.

"Huh? Wang Jingguo? Let him in," Liu Hua nodded and ordered.

"Contemptible Wang Jingguo, I've seen Division Commander Liu" As the curtain of the tent door opened, a soldier wearing a lieutenant general's uniform walked into the command headquarters. looked at Liu Hua in front of him and said loudly.

"Master Wang, I have admired my name for a long time. You know, I've admired your name for a long time, and I really didn't expect to meet in this way. However, as a senior officer of the Jin Sui Army, Division Commander Wang should know that I was forced to do so. The entire Shanxi Province can be said to have been bought with the lives and blood of the soldiers of our reading division, and it is reasonable for us reading divisions to retreat. Looking at Wang Jingguo in front of him, Liu Hua did not hesitate, and immediately returned a military salute and said loudly.

"Hehe, Master Liu, I know this. There are two reasons why I am in a hurry to see you today: one of the reasons is to thank you for not killing more than 10,000 brothers under my command, after all, they are all Shanxi fathers and elders who participated in our Jin Sui Army in order to resist the war. Another reason, I want to know, how Division Commander Liu intends to treat the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers under my command. Seeing Liu Hua and Liu, who were called heroes of resistance by the Chinese people in front of him, Division Commander Wang Jingguo did not hesitate, and quickly said the reason for his coming.

"Hehe, Senior Commander Wang, as for the first thing you said, that is my duty, after all, we are all squadrons, and I don't want my soldiers to die in the civil war in vain. So, you don't need to thank me for anything. As for the second reason you mentioned, I can tell you explicit right now. As for the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers and your final way out, it depends on the sincerity of your Commander Yan Xishan. However, I can assure you that I will never embarrass these more than 10,000 officers and soldiers. Looking at the serious face of Master Wang Jingguo in front of him, Liu Hua said.

"Then thank you, Commander Liu, I am in the prisoner of war camp, waiting for your good news."

Less than five minutes after Wang Jingguo left the headquarters, Shen Qinghua, the commander of the first brigade, rushed into the tent where Liu Hua was full of excitement: "Report to the division commander, all the results have been counted. ”

"Hehe, Brigade Commander Shen, look at your expression, if nothing else, the results must be very big! Hurry up and tell me how much money this Yan Xishan has invested for us. Looking at Shen Qinghua with a smile on his face in front of him, Liu Hua asked with a smile.

"Yes, Commander. According to statistics. We killed a total of 124 Jin Sui soldiers and captured 14,386 prisoners. Among them, one enemy mountain artillery battalion was captured, totaling 12 75-mm mountain guns. Three artillery batteries totaled 36 82-mm mortars. 12 anti-aircraft machine guns, 102 heavy machine guns, 346 light machine guns, 11,349 rifles, 1,086 pistols and submachine guns. In addition, a total of 124 carts of various ammunition and baggage were seized. Speaking of this, Shen Qinghua paused. And then he said.

"Division commander, as long as we have this batch of equipment, we can expand the six main regiments."

"Brigade Commander Shen, don't be too happy, this batch of equipment may not be anyone's yet. However, don't worry, this time, I will definitely let this Yan Xishan lose his wife and lose his soldiers. By the way, there's an important thing for you to get done. Liu Hua is very satisfied with such a result.

"Division Commander, you just give the order!" Shen Qinghua didn't hesitate and replied loudly.

"Well, here's the case. Of the more than 10,000 Jin Sui troops we captured, almost half were recruits who had just joined the army. Your task is very simple, to recruit soldiers from among these captives under the banner of our readers. However, it must be remembered that officers above the platoon level should not be allowed as much as possible. But if you really meet a talent, you must find out his background. Liu Hua ordered.

"Commander, don't worry, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing, and there is absolutely no problem." Shen Qinghua replied with confidence on his face.

At the same time, just when the six main regiments led by Liu Hua and half of the special operations brigade solved a reorganized division of the Jin Sui Army that went to Jiexiu. The troops led by Chief of Staff Li Qing also did not spend much money to solve the Jin Sui Army of a reorganized division in front of them.

"Report to the division commander, telegram from the chief of staff, report to the chief of staff, the battle has ended, a total of 14,568 people below the enemy's division commander have been captured, and countless weapons and ammunition of various kinds have been captured." Just when Liu Hua was overflowing with the victory of this special operation, the communications staff officer rushed into the headquarters and informed Liu Hua of the astonishing news.
