This question really caused Zhou Cheng to ask.

In his previous life, he was a soldier, but after traveling through time, he had no administrative experience. He asked him to take care of a county with 60,000 or 70,000 people, and he had no clue at all.

I had been thinking about how to take Xiyang before, and used the treasures I had found from the secret arsenal as spoils to equip the National Savior Army. I never thought about how to manage such a large area after the National Savior Army took Xiyang.

Before, the National Salvation Army had only two towns, with a small population and a limited range, so there were not many things to be managed. Deputy Commander Tang directly took charge of himself.

Now there is one county in the defense zone of the National Salvation Military, and the population has increased several times.

His family knows his own affairs, so he will definitely not be able to manage Deputy Commander Tang, and even if he has the ability to manage, he will not have that time. After all, his main energy must be focused on the army logistics, the ideological work of the soldiers, and the intelligence collection.

Frowning and falling into deep thought...

The National Salvation Army wants to develop Xiyang into a granary and a logistics base for the troops. The military and civilians must unite, fully believe in the National Salvation Army, and obey the command of the National Salvation Army.

When it comes to uniting the people, if the Eighth Route Army recognizes itself as the second, no one dares to recognize it as the first.

Zhou Cheng thought of the division headquarters and asked the division headquarters to send someone to help him manage the place.

If the people in Xiyang could absolutely believe in the national salvation army and believe in themselves, and the military and civilians were united, Zhou Cheng would be absolutely sure to bring them out of poverty and build Xiyang into a granary, an iron barrel-like logistics base.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng immediately replied: "Let Deputy Commander Tang serve as the county magistrate of Xiyang temporarily. After I find a suitable candidate, I will appoint a new county magistrate to help us manage the local area."

"In addition, you immediately send a telegram to Deputy Commander Tang and ask him to bring Deputy Commander Yuan to Xiyang. Starting today, the National Salvation Army's headquarters will be officially transferred to Xiyang."

"The Third Battalion and the New Battalion that we just established are all transferred to Xiyang, and the speed is fast."

"Also, we will immediately arrange for people to transport all the mountain cannons, shells, submachine guns, pistols, and bullets we hid to the Japanese arsenal and write them in our battle report, as if we were seized by Xiyang."

"The last thing is to order the guard company to erect a sign of the recruitment office of the National Rescue Army outside the city, so that the people in Xiyang will know that Xiyang City has been recovered by our National Rescue Army."

"After the villagers met the requirements to join the National Salvation Army, each recruit gave 50 kilograms of white flour or millet as a settlement fee to encourage everyone to join the National Salvation Army, temporarily recruiting 800 new recruits and gathering a thousand of our new recruits."

Chen Zhengyu quickly wrote down the task. Just as he was about to leave, Deng Jinghua, deputy platoon leader of the communications platoon, suddenly came over.

All the intelligence and documents seized by the reconnaissance team from the Japanese command were sent to Deng Jinghua by Zhou Cheng, and he asked him to sort out some useful documents.

Seeing that he was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand and there were obvious signs of burning. He walked towards him with a serious face and immediately realized that something was happening: "Director Deng, have you made any important discoveries?"

Deng Jinghua quickly placed a few pieces of paper in front of Zhou Cheng, introducing one by one: "Captain, these two pieces of paper are just received by the Japanese through the radio station, which said that two reinforcements would reach Xiyang after dawn."

"A reinforcement unit has more than 400 people. They marched quickly, and half of the Japanese and puppet troops were allowed to arrive at 8 o'clock in the morning."

"A reinforcement unit has two hundred people, all Japanese devils. They came by car and could arrive at about 5:30. Now there are less than two hours left before 5:30. We must prepare early!"

Chen Zhengyu retreated as soon as he heard this: "Captain, there is really not much time left, how can we fight?"

"Of course it's a pot of stew..." Zhou Cheng replied without hesitation.

"A Japanese who strengthened the squadron all took cars to reinforce Xiyang. According to the calculation of a car with fifteen Japanese soldiers, the Japanese army dispatched at least fifteen cars. If these cars can be captured, our National Salvation Army can set up its own car transport team. In case of war, we can send the mobile troops to any place in the defense zone to participate in the war within two hours, greatly increasing the mobility of the troops."

"Guardian, notify the captain of the investigation team, Wang Tieshan, to come and see me immediately."

"All heavy machine guns and mortar troops transferred from the 1st and 2nd Battalion, and the fire platoon of the Guard Company will gather and standby immediately and be ready to set off at any time."

"Chief of Staff, please arrange for people to strengthen all the light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers we just seized to these troops..."

Wang Tieshan ran to the command center in just five minutes, and Zhou Cheng said nothing nonsense: "Captain Wang, Deputy Platoon Leader Deng of the Communications platoon just found two important information from the documents you seized: a Japanese in the reinforcement squadron marched in a car to reinforce Xiyang, and there was an hour and a half outside the city."

"I will give you all the war horses seized by the troops in Xiyang and the war horses brought by the troops, and ask the reconnaissance team to arrive in front of the Japanese as quickly as possible, force them to give up the car, and use their legs to marches to reinforce Xiyang City."

"This is the first task, and there is a second task below: After the Japanese reinforcements abandon the car, the reconnaissance team must seize the convoy at the minimum cost, seize the Japanese transport car, and then hide it!"

"How is it, are you confident to complete these two tasks!"

For the reconnaissance team, these two tasks are too easy.

As long as the troops rushed to the front of the Japanese and exploded the official road, the car would not be able to leave.

After the Japanese reinforcements changed to infantry and left the convoy, the convoy was left with at most some Japanese drivers and a team of guards. The reconnaissance team even dared to break into the Japanese garrison command, so it would be very easy to clean up dozens of car drivers and guards.

He answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, the investigation team guarantees to complete the task..."

As soon as Wang Tieshan left, Zhou Cheng also stood up from his position: "Chief of Staff, you stay in the county, I will lead the troops to fight against the Japanese reinforcements and strive to stew them in one pot."

Shen Liwen was the company commander of the spy company. As soon as he entered the National Salvation Army Defense Zone with the Arsenal Guard Company, he was pulled to the room by Yuan Shushan to talk for two hours.

Yuan Shushan told Shen Liwen that among all the deputy regiment and above officers of the National Salvation Army, he was the only one who was trusted by the war zone, and he would take over as the commander of the National Salvation Army in the near future. He also promised Shen Liwen the position of battalion commander and asked Shen Liwen to work hard for him.

At that time, Shen Liwen received the order that he obeyed the command of Deputy Commander Yuan. In addition, he was a newcomer and did not know the internal situation of the National Salvation Army. There was no way except to agree to Yuan Shushan.

But Shen Liwen did not really decide to work hard for Yuan Shushan.

He hid behind enemy lines for more than half a year, and saw many intrigues, and gradually developed a cautious personality of not making decisions easily when encountering problems.

Otherwise, he would have been swallowed up completely by some people who are interested in the enemy.

Temporarily agree to Yuan Shushan's request, and wait until he stabilizes the national rescue army and finds out the situation before deciding whether to follow Yuan Shushan.

When he first met the group leader, he was shocked by Zhou Cheng's youth and generosity.

Not only did he accept himself joining the National Salvation Army, but he also raised his rank one level. More importantly, he expanded the garrison company into a strengthening company and became the current spy company.

Chen Liwen is completely acceptable to replace the two platoon leaders of the spy company.

Put yourself in the position of the regiment commander, in order to ensure that the spy company has no intention, they may insert more of their own people.

Because the National Salvation Army did not have extra heavy weapons and had insufficient troops, the fire platoon of the spy company was just an empty plague, but Chen Liwen was already very satisfied and felt that the regiment commander was not as unbearable as Deputy Commander Yuan said.

When the regiment headquarters decided to attack Xiyang, the spy company was also transferred to the scene.

Chen Liwen's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of bad premonition appeared.

He is a fairly qualified soldier and has an understanding of the strategy of siege.

As the attacking side, it is destined to suffer heavy casualties under the desperate attack of the defending troops.

Generally speaking, the attacking side will send many troops to consume the defenders' forces and ammunition before the general attack, which is the so-called cannon fodder troops.

Chen Liwen subconsciously believed that the regiment commander should use the spy company as cannon fodder and take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

With this idea, Chen Liwen's good impression of Zhou Cheng was suddenly gone.

The siege battle started, and the spy company was not used as cannon fodder as he guessed. Under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns, the offense and defense seemed to have been replaced, and the Japanese and puppet troops defending the walls were more like cannon fodder...

I thought it would be a siege battle with heavy casualties, but in the end I only paid a small price to enter Xiyang City...

Until now, Chen Liwen is still immersed in the joy of the troops winning the battle.

"Company Commander Chen... Is Company Commander Chen here?" A voice suddenly rang outside the door.

Chen Liwen was finally pulled back to reality and hurried out of the company: "I'm here..."

It was a messenger beside the regiment commander. Chen Liwen knew him and asked quickly: "Is the regiment headquarters have a mission?"

The commander immediately replied: "The regiment commander asked the spy company to gather and standby immediately and be ready to leave the city to carry out missions at any time."

"In addition, the regiment headquarters will draw four gunners from the artillery company to join the spy company and assist the spy company in forming a fire platoon."

"We seized a lot of mortars and heavy machine guns in Xiyang City. The regiment commander decided to replenish the firepower of the spy company first. Two mortars and two heavy machine guns will be delivered soon, and three Czech-made ones will be sent."

"The regiment headquarters provides you with gunners, but the machine gunners, deputy shooters, and ammunition players must solve the problem by themselves. After the battle is over, the regiment headquarters will draw people from the recruit battalion to make up for the vacancies in the spy company!"

After the messenger said that, he left the secret service company's base.

Five minutes later, as soon as the spy company completed the assembly, a large cart full of weapons and ammunition and several soldiers walked towards him.

"Report to the company commander, I am the squad leader of the first mortar platoon of the artillery company. I was ordered to report that the regiment will supplement the mortars, heavy machine guns, Czech-made, shells, and bullets of the special agent company, are all in the car!"

The excitement in Chen Liwen's heart is no longer described in words.

He walked quickly to the cart, patted the mortar barrel, and touched the body of the heavy machine gun... He looked like he couldn't let go of his hands, and his face was full of smiles.

The deputy company commander who was transferred to the Special Service Company was also very excited. With these heavy weapons, the title of the Special Service Company strengthening company finally deserves its name. He quickly reminded: "Company Commander, with equipment, the troops may have tasks at any time. We should build a firepower lineup as soon as possible. It is best to join the battlefield in a while."

"Yes, set up a fire platoon now!" Chen Liwen answered happily, and then turned his attention to his subordinates.

According to his initial idea, the fire platoon must be controlled by himself, so the platoon leader must be his confidant.

But now his thoughts have changed.

The regiment commander trusts himself so much, gives him face, asks for guns and cannons, and if he is still cautious about him, he would be too sorry for his conscience.

Moreover, none of the squad leaders under his command really understands mortars. If they are allowed to be fire platoon leaders, they will be outsiders and command experts, delaying the development of fire platoons.

He immediately turned his attention to the squad leader of the artillery squad who had just been transferred to the spy company: "What's your name?"

"Report to the company commander, my name is Xue Shan..." The squad leader quickly answered.

"Very good..." Chen Liwen immediately ordered: "From now on, you will be the fire platoon leader of the spy company. Do you have the confidence to lead this army well..."

Xue Shan is also a cheerful person, without saying a word of nonsense, and replied loudly: "Company Commander, you trust me so much, I, Xue Shan, will definitely not disappoint you..."
