At the headquarters of the National Salvation Army of Zhangzhuang Town, the company commander of the investigation rushed in with a serious expression: "Commander, the Japanese in the county have sent troops."

"Nearly five hundred Japanese soldiers carried cannons and left the county town two hours ago, and stopped ten kilometers away from us without moving!"

Before Wang Dehou started speaking, Huang Yonggui became anxious: "Commander, what do the Japanese want to do?"

"We are still negotiating, and now we send troops to attack us. Are they going to tear up the previous negotiation agreement!"

Wang Dehou shook his head, stared at the reconnaissance company commander and asked, "What are the Japanese doing when they are parked ten kilometers away?"

"I did nothing, I only established some alert positions around the station. It seemed that I didn't plan to stay for a long time!" The reconnaissance company commander thought for a while and answered.

"I understand, this is the Japanese who put pressure on us again!" Wang Dehou quickly figured out the Japanese little rooster.

"Through this force, we are forcing us to accept their conditions. If we do not agree, these five hundred Japanese devils will definitely continue to move forward and let us feel more crisis!"

When Huang Yonggui heard the commander say that the Japanese were not really going to attack him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on his face did not disappear.

If the Japanese stay ten kilometers away for one more day, the headquarters will be even more dangerous.

If the negotiations between the two sides collapse, the Japanese will definitely launch an attack directly to teach the national rescue army a lesson.

Thinking of this, Huang Yonggui's confidence in continuing to fight the Japanese suddenly weakened. He looked at Wang Dehou with a guilty look on his face: "Commander, why don't we agree to the Japanese's conditions."

"Today they suddenly sent troops to put pressure on us, obviously disagreeing with the cooperation conditions we had proposed before."

"We only have two battalions of troops, and it's good to be able to be reorganized into one regiment."

"As far as I know, many national-savior troops behind enemy lines were only assigned to one battalion after being incorporated by the Japanese. The commander was demoted to battalion commander, or to a deputy regiment commander without real power."

"The Japanese can give us a regiment organization to let you serve as the regiment commander and I am already very proud of my appearance."

Wang Dehou refused without hesitation and said, "No, if we really accept this condition, then our battle for more than a month will be in vain!"

"I finally managed to repel the two attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops, and prove to the outside world that we have pacified the strength of the national rescue army, but we did not get anything. It would be better to accept the Japanese adaptation as soon as we came to the enemy."

"As for the other national-savior troops you mentioned, can they compare with us?"

"The organization of a regiment above his head is not as strong as our battalion. Seeing that the Japanese did not even have the courage to shoot, they ran away. I look down on such troops, let alone Japanese. If they can give them a battalion, they will give face to the Japanese."

"Although we only have two battalions and several direct companies, we are all troops that have fought strong battles, have strong combat power and are well-equipped."

"After this period of expansion, the total strength of the two battalions and direct troops has reached 1,300. The Japanese have to give us a brigade organization, both in terms of emotion and reason."

"Don't the Japanese put pressure on us at the sight? Then we put some pressure on them."

"Although the Japanese are very good at fighting, I am not afraid of them at all when it comes to conspiracy and tricks!"

"Order the first battalion to enter the position, prepare for battle, and act as if he wants to fight against the Japanese to the end."

"Then the headquarters transferred 10,000 rifle bullets, 100 rifles, 500 grenades, and 200 mines to the Third Battalion. He told Zhou Cheng that the headquarters decided to temporarily add some weapons and ammunition to them, but he must send them with great fanfare."

Huang Yonggui frowned, not sure what Wang Dehou's purpose was: "Commander, I can understand how to mobilize troops into the position, but I can't figure out the trick of giving the third battalion weapons and ammunition. What's the matter with the Japanese?!"

"If we had agreed with the Japanese and the troops were reorganized into the Imperial Army, the Third Battalion would soon become our enemy. Now I would give them guns and ammunition. Wouldn't that increase their strength and cause trouble for ourselves?"

Wang Dehou shook his head and sneered and replied: "Chief of Staff, please take a long-term vision, don't just stare at the front of you."

"If we really get a deal with the Japanese, the Third Battalion will indeed become our opponent."

"But hasn't the negotiation yet? Although we are in a bad mood with Zhou Cheng, as long as we have not yet been adapted, the Third Battalion will be affiliated with our National Salvation Army. If we use it well, they can also become the capital for us to negotiate with the Japanese."

Huang Yonggui continued to shake his head: "I still can't understand!"

Wang Dehou could only continue to explain: "While we are expanding our army, the third battalion is also expanding its troops."

"As far as I know, the total strength of the Third Battalion is almost over one thousand people. It is not only equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns, but also a special cavalry company, and even an armored vehicle. Its development momentum is very rapid. If it weren't for the title of the National Salvation Army Command, the Japanese garrison would have quelled them as their own major troubles and the number one enemy."

"We cooperated with the Third Battalion twice, not only successfully repelled the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops and severely damaged them, but also took down two captains of the garrison."

"The reality of the third battalion is getting stronger and stronger now, so we should not underestimate it. If the two sides cooperate again, it will definitely bring a devastating blow to the pacification garrison, and it may be possible to take down the county town."

"I gave weapons and ammunition to the Third Battalion to tell the Japanese that if I don't agree to our conditions as soon as possible, I don't mind going my separate ways and continuing to cooperate with the Third Battalion..."

"The new captain of the Japanese devils will definitely not allow this to happen. They will either make concessions to us or offer negotiation conditions that are more conducive to us."

Huang Yonggui finally understood and his face was full of admiration: "Gao! Commander, this move is so powerful. The Japanese who negotiated with us know that they will definitely make concessions in the future. I will make arrangements now and order the baggage team to replenish weapons and ammunition for the Third Battalion."

When Zhou Cheng came back to the third battalion of Donghui Town, he ran into Li Honghui who wanted to find him as soon as he came back.

"Battery Commander, there is something happening in the headquarters!" Li Honghui reported straight to the point.

Behind Li Honghui is Chongqing, which has a very large intelligence network. He will definitely not joke with himself on such matters.

The good mood brought by winning the battle in Baijing Town was gone all of a sudden, and he asked with a serious look on his face: "Tell me more specifically!"

Li Honghui thought and reported: "The Japanese and Wang Dehou had contact with each other and had a formal negotiation: the Japanese hoped to reorganize the National Rescue Army into a regiment of the Imperial Army. Wang Dehou did not want to adapt for the time being, but just wanted to cooperate secretly with the Japanese and not violate each other."

"Because the gap between the conditions and requirements proposed by the two sides is too big, no negotiations have been reached for the time being, and the second round of negotiations is being prepared."

Zhou Cheng sighed and replied helplessly: "Wang Dehou has taken this step!"

"Once they are adapted into the Imperial Army, we will become an isolated army, facing the pressure of the garrison independently, and we must prepare in advance and find ways to destroy their negotiations if possible."

"Even if Wang Dehou can't continue to help us share the pressure from the Japanese, it's okay to stay neutral, instead of becoming a hostile side and turning the gun to attack us."

Li Honghui hesitated for a moment and continued to report: "The war zone has also heard of Wang Dehou's desire to surrender to the enemy and become a traitor."

"The army of pacifying the national rescue has been commended many times by the war zone and is also called a model of the anti-Japanese troops behind enemy lines. If the Japanese surrender to the Japanese and become traitors, it will definitely bring huge public opinion pressure to the war zone, greatly weaken the enthusiasm for the war zone for war zone resistance, and damage the morale and morale of the military and civilians."

"I got some news: the war zone has sent people to contact you. If Wang Dehou really surrenders to the enemy and becomes a traitor, I hope the Third Battalion can carry the flag of pacifying the national rescue army and continue to fight the Japanese in pacifying."

"If you can do it, you will be the next commander of the National Salvation Army and will be directly under the command of the War Zone Command."

"The person who contacted you should be on the way, and you will be here in the past two days."

Zhou Cheng's reaction was very calm.

He had guessed what Li Honghui said long ago.

If you take a step back, even if no one comes from the war zone, you will carry the flag to pacify the national rescue army.

Only in this way can I have the orthodox status to continue to fight the Japanese and make my own follow-up plans.

So his mind was not about what Li Honghui said, but about how to minimize the impact and losses caused by Wang Dehou's surrender to the enemy.

He immediately asked Li Honghui: "Deputy Battalion Commander Li, you have been in the headquarters. Are there any familiar officers in the first and second battalions?"

"If there is any, can you contact us? When Wang Dehouzhen decides to surrender to the enemy, he will be brought over, lead the troops out of Wang Dehou's control, and come to the third battalion to continue fighting the Japanese."

"This can not only weaken the losses caused by Wang Dehou's surrender to the enemy, but also hit Wang Dehou's arrogance."

"Let Wang Dehou understand that not everyone wants to be a traitor with him."

It is too big for Wang Dehou to surrender to the enemy. If the operation is done well, the impact and losses can be minimized. If the operation is not done well, it is likely to bring a devastating blow to the third battalion.

Li Honghui did not reserve the issue of his life and death. After thinking for a moment, he trayed the person in his hand.

"Meet one deputy battalion commander and two company commanders!"

"But they are not Wang Dehou's confidants. Now it is a critical moment when Wang Dehou negotiates with the Japanese. They must have been targeted. It is difficult to bring out the entire company's troops. Maybe they will lose their wife and their troops."

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up and replied: "Contact them first and tell them not to act rashly."

"I will find a way to solve other problems to ensure that they are safely out of Wang Dehou's control!"

At this moment, the Investigation Platoon Commander Tang Shengbo suddenly appeared at the door: "Battery Commander, there is an emergency."

"Early early this morning, the garrison dispatched half an infantry brigade and rushed straight to Zhangzhuang Town with mountain cannons. Finally, they stopped ten kilometers away from Zhangzhuang Town and remained motionless."

Li Honghui suddenly became excited: "It must be the Japanese who had broken the talk with Wang Dehou, and I'll send troops to put pressure on them!"

Before Zhou Cheng could speak, there was another sound of horse hooves outside. When he arrived at the command department, the sound came to an abrupt end. Then he saw a cavalry correspondent rushing in with gasps.

"Battery Commander, the headquarters just heard the news: We temporarily added a batch of weapons and ammunition to us, and we were loading two large vehicles in total. On the way we came, let us send troops to respond!"

Zhou Cheng was puzzled at first, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had already seen why the headquarters had sent him ammunition at this time.

Although Wang Dehou is about to become an opponent, he can't help but sigh: "This Wang Dehou is not very good at fighting, but no one can compare to him when he is scheming."

"He used our third battalion!"
