Chapter 136 Great gift of weapons!
The headquarters of the Teng County Army was already filled with cheers, and the successive victories made everyone extremely excited.
They actually defeated several Japanese regiments in one day, which made them feel like they were in a dream.
Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing admired their commander Tang Enbo even more. Without Tang Enbo's order, it would be almost impossible for them to win so much credit.
Now that we are here, it is just around the corner to be promoted to an official position.
Thinking of this, everyone had a smile on their face.
Now that the 10th Division has been wiped out, more troops can be mobilized for the attack.
Although Nie Ziwen still didn't trust the 4th Division and the 89th Division very much, in order to achieve greater results, he could only trust them temporarily once.
"Now the enemy's main force has been reduced to Jiehe Town and Binhe Town. My plan is to dispatch armored troops to directly move the front to Zouxian County and Taiping Town."
"For the enemies in Jiehe Town and Binhe Town, I suggest that we should surround them heavily, and then continuously weaken their strength. Finally, we can encircle them again for reinforcements."
Nie Ziwen said to them.
Although the Communist Party has now achieved a major victory, there is still a hidden danger in the Communist Party, that is, the command authority is not clear, which makes Nie Ziwen very worried.
Now the army in Teng County is mainly divided into three parts. One part is the 98th Army headed by Nie Ziwen, and their strength is also the strongest among them.
To be honest, Nie Ziwen was really unwilling to ask Nie Ziwen to obey the command of other troops.
The other part is the 22nd Army headed by Sun Zhen. Although they are not strong, Sun Zhen has the highest position.
Moreover, Sun Zhen's Sichuan Army is a local army. Let the direct descendants of the Central Army in the 85th Army listen to the command of the Sichuan Army. It will simply cost them their lives.
The last part was the 85th Army composed of the 4th Division and the 89th Division, but Lu Mingxuan sent him a secret message and he could not obey the command of the 85th Army under any circumstances.
In this way, the command authority of the Teng County government has become a confusing matter, and no one wants to listen to other people's commands.
This made Nie Ziwen feel worried. Unclear command authority was really a taboo for military strategists.
So now all military operations have to be negotiated. Fortunately, the war is progressing smoothly and these contradictions have been covered up.
What Nie Ziwen was worried about was that if the war suffered a setback, conflicts might arise within the government and the enemy would take advantage of it.
"There are at least 20,000 Japs in Binhe Town and Jiehe Town now. It is already very difficult for us to surround these Japs. Isn't it too risky to continue to advance the front to Zouxian County?"
Chen Daqing disagreed a little.
In his eyes, 20,000 Japs were already a very powerful fighting force. Surrounding 20,000 Japs with their strength was probably their limit.
"It doesn't matter. I will concentrate all the artillery on these two places before dark for intensive bombardment. I believe it won't be long before they are unable to counterattack."
Nie Ziwen was not worried at all. Aren't there just 20,000 little Japs? If I were in the wild, I would have pushed them away.
After hearing his words, Chen Daqing couldn't help but shrink his head. He knew how powerful the 98th Army's heavy artillery was.
If the 98th Army could carry out intensive shelling of these two small towns for an hour, then the losses of the little Japanese would have been very heavy.
"I agree with Mr. Nie's opinion."
Sun Zhen said.
Chen Daqing and Zhang Xuezhong looked at each other and said, "Okay then. We don't have any objections either."
"Now that everyone agrees, let's discuss the deployment of troops."
Seeing this, Nie Ziwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Communist Party can unite as one, there will be no problem in winning this war.

"Baga Yalu! You are all a bunch of losers! You are all a bunch of trash!"
Inside the Zouxian headquarters, Nishio Shouzou was like a wounded lone wolf, constantly cursing.
The Japanese in the headquarters were frightened when they saw the violent Nishio Juzo, and acted cautiously, for fear of accidentally offending him.
At this moment, a messenger ran in. Seeing this situation, he was a little at a loss.
"What's happening on the front lines?"
Seeing this hesitant messenger, Nishio Shouzou said angrily.
Looking at Nishio Juzo, whose face looked fierce as if he wanted to eat people, heavy drops of cold sweat fell from the head of the messenger.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, the trapped defenders tried to organize a breakout, but the enemy's armored vehicles were too powerful, and all our breakout operations failed."
"Moreover, the enemy has organized a large number of heavy artillery to carry out fierce shelling on Jiehe Town and Binhe Town. The four brigade commanders at the front sent emergency telegrams asking for help. They hope that you, Commander, can send troops to support immediately."
"Another request for help! Are they all pigs? There are so many people who can't break through the enemy's encirclement?"
Nishio Hisao couldn't help but said angrily.
He has lost count of how many telegrams he received today asking for reinforcements. Why is everyone asking him for reinforcements?
Where could he find so many reinforcements for them?
"Your Excellency, Commander, do you think we should send troops to rescue them? We will rescue them first and then talk about other things."
Seeing that Nishio Hiszo was in danger of losing his mind, Chief of Staff Suzuki Suzuki hurriedly persuaded him.
"Okay then."
Nishio Juzo thought for a while and said.
But after saying that, he was in trouble again because he didn't have many troops left.
All four infantry brigades and two cavalry regiments were sent out, leaving only the baggage regiment, engineer regiment and artillery regiment.
But even if he sends out the baggage regiment and engineer regiment, he may not necessarily be a match for the enemy.
At this moment, huge explosions suddenly came from the city.
"What happened outside?"
Nishio Hisao couldn't help but said in shock.
Not long after, a messenger suddenly ran in in a panic.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, a large number of enemy armored forces have appeared outside our city, and they are conducting violent shelling on our city walls."
"Na Ni? They actually came over?"
Nishio Juzo said with a look of disbelief.
"That's right."
"Bagaya Road! Why don't you organize soldiers to defend it!"
Nishio Hisao couldn't help but said angrily.
"Hi!"
"Assholes! You are all a bunch of damn bastards! I will never let you go in the 98th Army!"
Nishio Juzo said with an angry look.

While the defenders of Teng County were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren, received a secret telegram.
After reading this sealed message, Li Zongren's face showed a smile of surprise.
"Brother De Lin, what happened to make you so happy? Tell me and let everyone be happy."
Zhang Shouling, senior staff officer of the Fifth War Zone, saw his appearance and quickly joked.
"The commander of the 98th Army, Lu Mingxuan, sent a telegram saying that he plans to donate weapons and equipment to 10 German weapon divisions in the Fifth Theater Zone. Some of the equipment is already on the way to be transported."
"He wanted to hear my opinion on which troops should be given to these weapons to have the greatest impact."
Li Zongren laughed and said.
"What did you say? The equipment of 10 German weapon masters? Could it be that the 98th Army already has too many weapons to use up?"
After hearing what he said, Zhang Shouling couldn't help but turned pale and said, "You are right. If you don't believe me, just see for yourself."
After Li Zongren finished speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Zhang Shouling.
Zhang Shouling quickly looked at it carefully. After reading it, he simply couldn't believe his eyes.
"My dear, there is such a good thing in the world, giving away guns, cannons and bullets for free. This is the equipment of 10 German weapon masters, and it is given away as a gift? Has the German weapon master become so worthless?
?”
In the domestic mind, German armorers are synonymous with power. Each German armorer is equipped with a large number of mountain artillery, field artillery, combat defense artillery and anti-aircraft artillery. This was simply unique in China at that time.
After hearing what he said, Li Zongren also smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not expect that such a thing would happen.
Lu Mingxuan actually took out the weapons and equipment of 10 divisions at once, which was really a big deal.
If there are 10 German weapon masters in the fifth theater, then the army's strength will increase explosively, and blocking the little devil's attack will never be a dream.
The key now is which troops these weapons should be distributed to. If this issue is not handled well, it may cause great conflicts within the **.
Li Zongren thought to himself, this is really a difficult problem! (To be continued...)
