Cheng Xiao, who was a regiment-level cadre during the Red Army, was the first to react and suddenly realized his mind and replied: "I understand, battalion commander, you are consuming a large amount of veterans who are used by the Japanese to form a security brigade. According to the ratio of a veteran leading three new recruits, we ate all the veterans of the Japanese army who formed an infantry brigade last night!"

"Not bad!" Wang Ping said with satisfaction.

"The instructor's analysis is good. According to the information, the Japanese army had a total of thirteen strongholds, both large and small, outside Laiyuan City. The small ones included a Japanese infantry squad, and the large ones had a reinforcement squad to two squads, with a total force of more than 600 people. If we could eat these more than 600 Japanese in the next few days, the only veterans who had expanded the Japanese army into a mixed brigade were left in Laiyuan City."

"The expansion of less than a thousand veterans into 6,500. You are all veterans. You should be clear that this requires the Japanese army to spend a lot of time and materials for running-in training."

"The longer it takes for the Japanese mixed brigade to form an army, the more time we have to expand our strength and welcome the Japanese army's possible encirclement and suppression of our heavy troops!"

"I understand too!" Zeng Quan's heavy face was obviously much better, and then he shouted with excitement!

"Battery Commander, you just said that in the next ten days, we will have enough practical battlefields to train troops. Is it just to eliminate the limited veterans of the Japanese in Laiyuan?"

"Not bad!" Speaking of this, Wang Ping no longer concealed it and directly ordered.

"The Second Company of the Independent Battalion is equipped with a baggage squad, an infantry cannon and two mortars. It will be released on time at 12 o'clock tonight. I will circumvent and fight westward, destroy and loot all the strongholds arranged by the Japanese army outside the city!"

"After each battle, all seized materials and equipment and ammunition, including prisoners, will be sent back to the garrison!"

"Instructor, you need to draw a political cadre to follow you to recruit soldiers. If the troops take down a village, they will recruit soldiers. We must expand our strength as much as possible before the Japanese mixed brigades form combat effectiveness!"

"The Third Company of the Independent Battalion is equipped with a baggage squad, an infantry cannon, and two mortars, from west to east, the same as other tasks!"

"The first company and the guard platoon, based on the platoon, are moving around the four gates of Laiyuan City."

"The Second and Third Company will fight them outside the city, and it will not be indifferent to the city. Either send troops to reinforce or order teams outside the city to return to the city. At that time, if there are fewer Japanese, you will find a way to gather troops to eat him. If there are too many Japanese, then contact the Second and Third Company to eat him together!"

"For this operation, I will take out all the assets of our independent battalion. Whether it is a crooked hand or a Czech-made machine gun, all of which will be distributed to you. You are also allowed to keep the equipment seized on the battlefield and use it first and then hand it over after returning to the base."

"If the same is true, the 2nd and 3rd Company has an infantry cannon, two mortars, three grenade launchers, two heavy machine guns, eight to nine light machine guns, and more than one hundred 38 large covers. Not to mention dealing with an elite infantry squadron of the Japanese army, they can easily deal with their two squadrons as long as they are well arranged, it should be very easy."

"Such powerful firepower can last for up to five minutes, and it is guaranteed to eat two Japanese infantry teams!" Zhang Yunshan's face had been replaced by fanaticism, and he said with a confident look on his face.

Zeng Quan followed and asked: "Battery Commander, do I want to go out too!"

Wang Ping shook his head and refused, "No, this time the three of us went out and left them to the three company commanders to fight. If such good equipment is still unable to win the battle, how can they become battalion commanders or even regiment commanders in the future!"

"The instructor is still an old task. He mobilizes the people and prisoners to join our independent battalion, and then is responsible for taking over the supplies sent back from the mountain, and ensuring that there is no problem with the logistics supply of the front-line combat troops! Lao Zeng, you are responsible for training new recruits, and you can train as many as the instructor recruits. Also, don't be afraid of wasting bullets during the training process. If you should use live ammunition, use live ammunition. You must use the shortest time to make them initially form combat effectiveness."

"As for me, have I seized two trucks of cement and returned. I plan to use this time to prepare some surprises for the Japanese army to enter the mountains. In addition, the logistics supply of our independent battalion will also gradually change from relying on seizure to self-sufficient. As for what to do? I keep it confidential for the time being, and you will know when the time comes!"

After the entire day of aerial reconnaissance did not appear in the main force of the Eighth Route Army outside the mountain, Major General Ono's nervous heart finally calmed down.

However, the Japanese military's guards in the entire Laiyuan territory did not relax. The Japanese and puppet troops in the thirteen strongholds outside the city were not idle, urging prisoners and young men to build artillery towers day and night.

The Youhe stronghold, directly east of Laiyuan City, is nearly twenty kilometers away from the mountains where Independent Camp hides.

It seemed very far away, but after the Xiaguan stronghold was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, Youhe stronghold became the first line to defend against the Eighth Route Army.

It has been two days since the Eighth Route Army destroyed the Xiaguan stronghold, and the Japanese squadron leader of the He stronghold was also nervous for two days.

Although he was a captain, his Imperial Army warriors had only two infantry squads. As if it wasn't because this place was too important, the garrison here had only one reinforcement squad a few days ago.

But even if the Imperial Army troops have increased a lot, they are far inferior to the more than 300 elite Imperial Army troops in Xiaguan strongholds.

If the Eighth Route Army can take this stronghold overnight, it will have the ability to take down the Youhe stronghold where they are in two or three hours.

Fortunately, two days passed, and the worried Eighth Route Army, who was the squadron leader, did not appear.

Thinking of the announcement from the brigade commander two days ago, the nervousness on the squadron leader's face improved a lot, and he said to himself to his subordinates: "Is it true that the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Xiaguan stronghold was also damaged by the soldiers and generals. It takes time to recover and has no time to attack us!"

The puppet army company commander who had been patrolling for two nights in a row, immediately asked: "Sir, should we continue to be more vigilant at night? The brothers have been waiting for two nights and have to urge the prisoners to repair the artillery tower during the day. They don't have time to rest. They are so tired!"

"Of course we need to be more alert!" The squadron leader replied without hesitation.

"You don't want to execute the orders of your Excellency General? You have a few heads to let your Excellency General shoot them!"

Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, Wang Sang, you just told the truth. The Imperial Army has indeed worked hard these two days. Since this is the case, only half of the Imperial Army patrol guards will be left tonight, and the others will rest. Tomorrow night, the Imperial Army will be responsible for patrol guards!"

"As for the soldiers of the Imperial Army, I have been nervous for two hours in a row, and it's time to relax. I'm telling me that each soldier of the Imperial Army will have a can of meat tonight. Each company of the Imperial Army will have a can of meat, so that everyone can relax!"

For the puppet army, although they were working hard for the Japanese, few Japanese really valued them and valued them.

Therefore, for ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Army, they can usually eat enough. As for canned food, they dare not even think about it.

Although the Japanese army only had one can with ten people who could only get one, it was still a very difficult delicacy to stew with cabbage and radish. So, that night, both the Japanese and the Imperial Army had enough food and drink, and it was rare to relax.

As for the Japanese squadron leader and the following squadron leader, they even took this opportunity to drink a lot of sake. Then, they were slightly drunk and started to rest as soon as they had breakfast, and they couldn't stop!
