The screen zooms to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Not only the brigade chiefs of the 386th Brigade have strong confidence that the Second Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and other units can capture Jinzhong County, the same is true for the chiefs of the headquarters.

At this time, the vice president was looking through the window in the direction of Jinzhong County and said, "It's getting dark, so the battle in Jinzhong must be over, right?"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "I believe there will be good news from the 386th Brigade soon."

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff changed the subject and continued: "What I am curious about now is what kind of results the Second Independent Regiment and other units have achieved. Whether they have wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong City, and how many slaves have been wiped out.

Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Taiyuan."

Vice President: "This is also what I am curious about. I hope this guy Wang Chengzhu can bring me another surprise."

As soon as the vice president finished speaking, a communications soldier hurried over with a translated message.

He walked up to the deputy boss, stood at attention, saluted and reported: "Report! Brigade 386 sent an urgent message. Brigadier Chen said that the Second Independent Regiment and other units have successfully captured Jinzhong County and wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city."

"In addition, they also wiped out a lot of the Japanese reinforcements from Taiyuan, but the specific data will not be known until they compile statistics."

"Okay! That's great!" After hearing this, the vice president couldn't help but applaud.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "By the way, as far as I know, the new brigade commander of the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade, Naoomi Hattori, was also in Jinzhong City. I wonder if he was killed or captured?

"

Signal Corps: "Brigadier Chen didn't say that. He only said that the Second Independent Regiment and other units wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong City."

Vice President: "Call back the 386 Brigade immediately and ask about this matter."

Telegrams went back and forth, and the 386th Brigade did not know whether Hattori Naoomi was alive or dead, so they sent another inquiry telegram to the Second Independent Regiment, and finally got an accurate answer, and reported it to the headquarters as soon as possible.

After receiving the news that Hattori Naoomi had been shot dead, the deputy general manager couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face: "It's such a pity. If we can capture this old devil Hattori Naoomi alive again, our Eighth Route Army can at least expand its regiment."

The deputy chief of staff smiled nonchalantly and said: "Boss, every officer of the Japanese army is more arrogant than the last. Naoomi Hattori has been captured by our army once before. He is obviously not willing to suffer such a humiliation.

Take it twice.

Presumably when Jinzhong County was captured, Hattori Naoomi knew that there was no hope of breaking through, so he chose to commit suicide by drinking bullets."

"Well, that should be it."

The vice president nodded. If he knew that Wang Chengzhu had the opportunity to capture Hattori Naoomi again but killed him directly with a knife, he would definitely reprimand him for being a prodigal and ask him to pay for it.

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "It's a pity that Naomi Hattori was killed, but the Second Independent Regiment and other troops captured Jinzhong County this time and eliminated a large number of reinforcements from the Taiyuan direction, so the spoils will definitely be huge."

It’s enough to make up for this loss.”

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff continued: "In total, Hattori Naomi should be the fourth Japanese major general killed by Wang Chengzhu, right?"

Deputy CEO: "Three to be precise. Although Kazuo Watanabe, the previous major general commander of the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade, died because of Wang Chengzhu, he was not shot to death by Wang Chengzhu, but committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"Yeah."

The deputy chief of staff smiled and nodded. It was not that he had a bad memory. The reason why he said this was to pave the way for the next words.

Then he said: "Boss, when Wang Chengzhu captured Jinzhong County this time, he not only annihilated at least one regiment of Japanese troops, but also killed a major general brigade commander and a colonel commander. The loot captured must also exceed the previous ones."

Any battle can be said to have achieved an unprecedented military exploit.

I wonder how you plan to reward him?"

Hearing this, the deputy CEO's face immediately darkened: "Gong is merit, fault is fault, these are two different things. Wang Chengzhu disobeyed orders on the battlefield without asking for instructions, and he still wants a reward?

It’s enough to punish him!”

The deputy chief of staff still had a faint smile on his face: "Boss, Zhu Zhu is not only a good fighter, but also a good hand at developing troops and raising military expenses.

Let’s not talk about how many weapons and equipment Wang Chengzhu has seized in the past few days and how many troops he can help the Eighth Route Army expand.

Just those few millions found in the ocean will at least allow our Eighth Route Army to not have to worry about military expenditures for a long time to come.

With this money, we can buy medicines, which can greatly reduce the non-combat casualties of our Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, the Hundred Regiments War has just begun, are you really willing to punish Wang Chengzhu at this juncture?"

Of course, the deputy boss was reluctant to punish Wang Chengzhu. This guy was different from Li Yunlong. Although he disobeyed orders on the battlefield, he never stabbed Lou Zi.

And strictly speaking, Wang Chengzhu's right to kill first and then report later was given to him.

But as the top commander, the deputy CEO has far more issues to consider than others. He must not act based on his personal thoughts, but must consider the overall situation.

The anger on his face was all disguised, and the purpose was to show a fair and strict image, but in fact, he was already happy inside.

It had only been about half a year since Wang Chengzhu had truly emerged, and his military exploits had already exceeded those of the other Eighth Route Army troops combined, and he had never made any mistakes. Where could he find such a reliable and useful commander?

Didn't you look at Yan Laoxi next door? Are you almost hungry?

There is also the chairman of the committee who is far away in the mountain city. He has praised Wang Chengzhu more than once. Although he praised the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which seems to be praising ***, everyone knows that the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army is actually the Eighth Route Army.

If we weren't worried about unnecessary friction between the two armies, which would affect the overall anti-Japanese situation, and were worried about Wang Chengzhu's stance.

I believe that both Yan Laoxi and the chairman of the committee are very willing to poach Wang Chengzhu and promise him a huge salary.

You don't even have to worry about Wang Chengzhu's position.

At present, Wang Chengzhu has become a banner and the belief of countless Chinese people.

The power of faith is endless.

Therefore, the Chairman of the Generalissimo does not need to give Wang Chengzhu military power and send him to the front line. He only needs to keep him in the rear and offer him as a flag, which can achieve the effect of boosting military morale.

Because he has proven more than once that even though the Japanese army is very powerful, it is not invincible!

Therefore, how could the boss really punish Wang Chengzhu? What he is really worried about now is how to reward Wang Chengzhu for his great military exploits.

The boss pretended to think carefully for a while, and then slowly said: "As for how to deal with Wang Chengzhu, we will wait until the Hundred Regiment War is over. For now, let him serve on the front line and make meritorious service."

The deputy chief of staff showed an expression like "I've seen through you" and smiled without saying a word...
