Ge Kunshan's contact with Jin Dapeng is really more and more frequent, under the instruction of Liu Goat, Liu Shi and several logistics team soldiers around the county government all day long, as long as Ge Kunshan leaves the county government, Liu Shishi and they will always follow Ge Kunshan until Ge Kunshan enters another place. On the contrary, Jin Dapeng was much more vigilant, he not only arranged light and dark sentry posts in the barracks, but also deliberately built a sentry tower in the barracks, and anyone within 100 meters of the barracks could not escape the eyes of the fixed sentries on the sentry tower.

As the time entered May, the streets and alleys of Mengcheng began to diffuse the tense atmosphere before the big war, and the source of this tense atmosphere came from the troops of the 2nd Regiment of the 173rd Division who arrived in Mengcheng one after another. Since the first day of May, the 2nd Regiment of the 173rd Division, where Jin Dapeng belongs, has been moving troops to Mengcheng one after another, from the initial one company to the current two battalions, only two days have passed.

With the continuous increase of the 173rd Division's troops, Ge Kunshan is now going to the barracks more and more, and the time he stays is beginning to become longer and longer. "Zhou Yuan, the deputy commander of the 173rd Division, is coming?" This news was enough to make Liu Goat, who was having dinner, lose his appetite, but he had to continue to ask questions to the visiting Ge Kunshan, because Zhou Yuan's arrival would directly affect the next arrangement of the garrison.

After Zhou Xiong, who was taught in public, recovered from his injuries, he did not come to Tang Cheng or Liu Shishi to trouble them, but Liu Goat knew that Zhou Xiong would not give up, and Zhou Yuan's arrival would inevitably make Zhou Xiong arrogant again. For this Zhou Yuan, Liu Goat really doesn't know anything about it, and the first time he heard Zhou Yuan's name came from Jin Dapeng's mouth, but since Zhou Yuan can get the rank of major general, I think this person will never be a simple person.

Ge Kunshan had to go to see Jin Dapeng almost every day, and he also knew some news about Zhou Yuan from Jin Dapeng's mouth, but he would not tell Liu Goat the news he knew so lightly. Liu Goat took Lao Xu to Li Linge's house, Ge Kunshan also knew about it, he knew that Lao Xu was the person in charge of the logistics of the garrison regiment, and he took the person in charge of money and food to the Li family, Liu Goat would definitely not go to Li's house for personal matters, and he had already clearly expressed his differences with Li Linge in front of Liu Shange, but Liu Goat still wanted to go to Li Linge, so he couldn't complain that he didn't help him.

In Ge Kunshan's vague words, Liu Goat guessed that he couldn't get the news he wanted from Ge Kunshan's mouth today, and sure enough, Ge Kunshan seemed to be just to disgust himself, but said that Zhou Yuan would rush to Mengcheng in the near future, and then said goodbye and left. The barracks of the garrison regiment were brightly lit at night, and Liu Shanyang, who had sent Ge Kunshan away, summoned all the officers to a meeting in the barracks to discuss how to deal with the upcoming Zhou Yuan.

Liu Goat was actually not worried about Zhou Yuan, but he beat Zhou Xiong, as long as it was his own side that took care of it, that is, Zhou Yuan wanted to ask for an explanation for Zhou Xiong, and he would not shoot Tang Cheng and Liu Shishi. Liu Goat is worried about the Japanese army in the direction of Bengbu, the Japanese army's delay in going north makes Liu Goat very worried, the Japanese army will never give up after suffering a big loss in Xuzhou, they will go north along Bengbu sooner or later. If the Japanese army intends to attack Mengcheng, relying on the garrison regiment and a regiment of the 173rd Division alone will not be able to stop the Japanese attack.

"Tangcheng's 1st Company will go to Beishan to garrison tomorrow, Liang Dahu's 5th Company will stay in the county seat, and the other three companies will step up training according to their daily schedules, reducing the troops guarding the checkpoints outside the city from one company to one platoon at each checkpoint." On the huge sand table, Liu Goat planted a lot of small flags on behalf of the troops, and the flag marked with the word 1 has been moved to the location of Beishan by Liu Goat, which used to be the nest of Beishan bandits.

"What am I going to Beishan for?" Tang Cheng was confused by Liu Goat's order, Beishan now except for those craters, other things have already been bulldozed by the militia, the 1st Company went to Beishan and didn't even have a thatched hut to sleep in, you must know that the 1st Company now has a scale of 240 people. When Liu Goat gave the order, Liang Dahu didn't dare to raise objections, and only Tang Cheng was not afraid, so Liang Dahu and several of his officers were all looking at the sand table with fake looks, but they all pricked up their ears and waited for Liu Goat's reaction.

I already thought that Tang Cheng would have such a reaction, so Liu Goat's face showed an expression that he knew you would look at Tang Cheng like this, "Mengcheng is not as good as Nanjing, once the Japanese army fights, it will not be able to stop the Japanese attack by defending the city alone, so we also need to deploy mobile forces outside the city." If the Japanese army attacked the county seat, the 1st Company stationed in Beishan would be responsible for sneaking up on the rear of the Japanese army, and it would be best to defeat their baggage troops or force the besieging Japanese troops to divide their troops. ”

Liu Goat's remarks are reasonable, among the 5 companies of the garrison regiment, only the 1st Company in Tangcheng has the most veterans and the strongest, and the bandits everywhere in the 1st Company a few days ago can be regarded as making those guys see blood, compared with the other four companies, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Company is obviously the strongest. After listening to Liu Goat's explanation, Tang Cheng, who wanted to say something more, could only pout his lips and say no more, but looking at his eyes, he was obviously still a little unhappy with Liu Goat's arrangement of the 1st Company.

"Your remaining four companies, I want each of your companies to draw out a part of the ammunition to support the 1st company, once the Japanese army attack, they will not be able to get ammunition supplies from Beishan." Although they were a little reluctant, Liang Dahu and the four company commanders still nodded. Only Lao Xu secretly gave Tang Cheng a look, signaling that Tang Cheng didn't have to worry about ammunition, obviously Liu Goat's order was not just for Tang Cheng's 1st Company.

Following Lao Xu's eyes and sweeping around the faces of several other company commanders, Tang Cheng somewhat understood the reason for Liu Goat's order, and among the five companies of the garrison regiment, one of the company commanders was Ge Kunshan's person. Liu Goat asked other companies to support ammunition to Tang Cheng, the purpose was just to prevent that company from defecting to Zhou Yuan with weapons and ammunition, Liu Goat also knew that the company commander would inform Ge Kunshan of this matter, and he also wanted to use this order to give Ge Kunshan a warning.

The meeting convened by Liu Goat in the middle of the night only lasted for a short time and ended hastily, and among the five companies of the garrison regiment, only one of Tangcheng was connected to specific orders, and the other companies were still preparing around the county seat. Tang Cheng, who was puzzled, stayed after the meeting, he wanted to ask why his 1st Company was transferred to Beishan, so he didn't believe Liu Goat's lie that he wanted the 1st Company to copy the back road of the Japanese army, a company composed of routs wanted to copy the back road of the Japanese army, which was simply wishful thinking.

"Transferring your 1st Company out of the county is not just to leave a way back for the garrison regiment, it is mainly to guard against Zhou Yuan, most of your 1st Company are veterans who have fought in battles, if Zhou Yuan is not a worry-free person, he will definitely fight the idea of our garrison regiment, instead of waiting for him to take away all the people who can fight in our hands, it is better to send you and the 1st Company out first." There were only two people left in the command post, Liu Goat and Tang Cheng, and Liu Goat finally told the truth, he was worried about Zhou Yuan.

"But Jin Dapeng has also been to Beishan, he should have seen the terrain of Beishan, if this Zhou Yuan must deal with us, the 1st Company can't hide in Beishan at all, so it's better to let the 1st Company stay in the city." Tang Cheng has also seen the training of those soldiers under Jin Dapeng in the past few days, although their training is not as intense as the training of the garrison regiment, but those guys have basically seen the real battlefield. Except for the veterans of the 1st Company, the rest of the soldiers in the garrison regiment are all civilians who have only received a few months of training, and the garrison regiment without the 1st Company may not even be able to stop a company of Zhou Yuan.

"You don't need to say it anymore, you will do it when you are told to go to Beishan, the Japanese army will come as they say, now is not the time to procrastinate." Although Liu Goat knew that Tang Cheng was worried about himself when he said that he wanted the 1st Company to stay in the city, the order had been issued and would never be changed, no matter whether Tang Cheng wanted to do it or not, the 1st Company would go to Beishan. From the beginning of the night battle outside Guanghua Gate, Liu Shanyang has regarded Tang Cheng as his successor, if the Japanese army is strong this time, Mengcheng must not be able to hold it, in order to leave a fire for the second company, Tang Cheng must leave and cannot stay in the city.

"Most of the people in your company are veterans, and the platoon commanders arranged for you are not bad, although they are not as good as the people in our original second company, they are also stronger than ordinary guys, and you can't be too stingy in front of them, otherwise you won't be able to control them." Tang Cheng knew that the stinginess that Liu Goat said was not that stinginess, and the stinginess that Liu Goat said was the attitude and decisiveness towards things and people. Liu Goat is not worried about Tang Cheng's ability to fight now, he is just worried that Tang Cheng is still lacking in dealing with people, because Tang Cheng's age is a hard injury.

"Do you remember the tunnels dug by those bandits in Beishan? You take the 1st Company into the North Mountain, immediately dig the tunnel, and prepare a few more exits. In case this Mongolian city can't be defended, we might as well have a place to hide and escape, and this matter can only be left to you, and I can rest assured. Liu Goat tried his best to fool Tang Cheng, but the latter really believed Liu Goat's words.

Liu Goat and Tang Cheng chatted for a long time, but no one knew what they said, Liu Shishi led people to surround the command post, and no one could get close to the command post. By the time Zhou Yuan arrived at Mengcheng with his troops the next day, Tang Cheng and his 1st Company had already appeared in Beishan, accompanied by Jiujin who was ordered to guard the Beishan checkpoint.
