Faced with the increasingly depressing atmosphere of the command center, the Chief of Staff had to stand up and take out a stack of telegrams to introduce: "These are several war reports that the military headquarters received before you came!"

"The Jingxing Coal Mine was captured five or six hours ago. The troops that reinforced the Jingxing Coal Mine were also ambushed by the Eighth Route Army halfway. Four of the six troops were destroyed, and the remaining two reinforcements were also severely damaged by the ambush. Less than 20% of the troops were successfully broken."

"There are six artillery towers and strongholds in the pacification section of the Zhengtai Railway and the Yangquan section at the same time. The opponent's artillery fire is very powerful and the offensive is very fierce. You can tell at a glance that the opponent is a national rescue army."

"As of now, more than half of the artillery towers and strongholds have lost contact with the Pingding section of the Zhengtai Railway and the Yangquan section, and more than 2,000 troops of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army."

"According to the previous combat methods and practices of the National Salvation Army, all railway lines occupied by them will be devastatingly destroyed, so the Pacification Section and Yangquan Section of the Zhengtai Railway should be finished."

"In addition, the troops left by the National Salvation Army in the defense zone also launched an attack on the surrounding Imperial Army last night. So far, we have lost 18 large and small strongholds and artillery towers, 1,342 people from the Imperial Army, 1,863 people from the Imperial Army, and a large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition."

"These losses were caused by the military headquarters' failure to grasp the movements of the National Saving Army in time, and the front-line troops were caught off guard by the National Saving Army!"

"If the intelligence department could grasp the trends of the National Salvation Army earlier and we were ready earlier, the front line would not have lost so many troops!"

After listening to the Chief of Staff’s explanation, the intelligence officer could only bow his head and admit defeat.

The loss has already happened. If the commander really intends to hold him accountable, he will be unable to escape the blame. He can only stand aside with his head down, hoping that the commander's anger will be calmed down soon...

The Chief of Staff saw the concerns of the intelligence officer and was willing to help him. After all, everyone was a colleague who was just having sex. Today he helped him and made a good relationship. Maybe he could save his life tomorrow.

Immediately analyzed to the commander: "Sir, the matter has happened, and the attack of the National Salvation Army is still continuing. We must find a way to break the deadlock immediately, otherwise the losses of the Shanxi garrison will increase."

"In addition to the national rescue army, we also need to increase troops to protect the railway line and block the attack of the Eighth Route Army."

"Because we were deceived by the National Salvation Army, the Okamoto United suffered heavy casualties and almost lost its combat effectiveness. The Eighth Route Army's Unique Regiment is using the Okamoto United as a breakthrough point to expand its results, and has also assigned many troops to reinforce other Eighth Route Army units."

"If we cannot block the attack of the single regiment as soon as possible and block them in our base, the other surrounding imperial troops will definitely double the pressure because of the Eighth Route Army's extra new force, and then our losses will increase."

"We also need to increase troops to the Jingxing coal mine. Under the joint attack of the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army, in just one night, our troops stationed in the coal mine and surrounding railway lines were completely lost. If we do not send troops to plug this loophole as soon as possible, the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army will definitely use the Jingxing coal mine as a breakthrough point and continue to expand the results of the battle."

"In the end, the troops stationed on the edge of the National Salvation Army's defense zone. In order to deal with the large-scale raid war launched by the Eighth Route Army, we drew a lot of troops from there, and the remaining troops will definitely not be able to stop the National Salvation Army's attack."

"It is impossible to increase troops wherever we can, but we cannot let the troops on the blockade be defeated by the National Salvation Army."

"Instead of letting them be killed by the National Salvation Army, it is better to take the initiative to give up those strongholds and artillery towers that are destined to be unable to defend, concentrate troops to defend the railway line, and deal with the Eighth Route Army."

"Compared with the National Salvation Army equipped with fine grain, Beizhi thinks the Eighth Route Army is better at dealing with it."

"As long as we protect the railway line, our contact with the outside world will not be interrupted. The front army can send us ammunition supplies and replenish troops as soon as possible through the railway line."

"When we accumulate enough strength, the effect of attacking the National Salvation Army will definitely be better."

The chief of the army's attention and anger were successfully transferred by the chief of staff to the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bageyalu, I can't help but want to kill the National Salvation Army immediately!"

"They are so hateful that they actually played so many of us in the applause. I must avenge this revenge. If I don't completely wipe out the national rescue army, and if I don't kill Zhou Cheng, I will die with my eyes open!"

The Chief of Staff was very anxious, afraid that the commander would be lost in anger. He ignored the reality and impulsively led his troops to attack the national rescue army for revenge. Then the situation of the Shanxi garrison was in danger.

I quickly reminded: "Sir, I think twice, and I want to kill Zhou Cheng immediately and wipe out the National Rescue Army. But we have no strength to deal with the National Rescue Army at all."

"The troops stationed in Shanxi are not strong enough, and now we have to withdraw half of our troops to deal with the raids launched by the Eighth Route Army, and then reduce the troops against the Second World War Zone and the troops defending the rear. We can no longer withdraw troops to attack the National Savior Army."

"Originally, we had no troops to block the national rescue army in their defense zone, but they actually used a surprise attack to severely damage our troops stationed on the blockade line."

"If all our troops left behind the blockade line are killed by them, the future attack on the National Salvation Army will draw more troops from other places."

"For the sake of the overall situation, please bear with it, keep our existing troops and avoid greater losses, otherwise it will take a lot of time for us to just transfer troops in the future!"

"Baga!" The commander suddenly pulled out his command knife and slashed hard at the table in front of him.

The sharp command knife easily cut off the corner of the table, which shows how angry the commander was at this moment.

After a while, the commander calmed himself down from his anger and took a deep breath to order: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Sooner or later, I will cut off Zhou Cheng's head personally, otherwise I will have no shame to continue."

"Chief of the Staff, your analysis just now is very correct. In order for us to attack the National Salvation Army as soon as possible in the future, we must do everything possible to reduce the losses."

"I'm going to order that all the troops stationed on the national rescue line will retreat, and the nearest county town will be guarded to wait for assistance."

"The remaining troops in the Yangquan section and Pingding section of the Zhengtai Railway also retreated, concentrating all the scattered troops in nearby counties."

"Combined with our aviation troops, half of the planes were used to attack the National Rescue Army, and half of the planes were used to attack the Eighth Route Army, and used our air superiority and artillery advantages to consume the forces of the National Rescue Army and the Eighth Route Army, and force them to end the battle as soon as possible."

"As for the Eighth Route Army, I have called the Shijiazhuang garrison and asked them to send an infantry corps to reinforce us. The cavalry group in the north also promised to draw a full-scale cavalry corps to reinforce us."

"When these two foreign players arrive, the Eighth Route Army, which lacks heavy weapons, will definitely not be our opponent."

Jingxing Coal Mine, more than 2,000 National Rescue Army and more than 5,000 Eighth Route Army, guerrillas, and ordinary people... were desperately rushing to the mountains to transport supplies and equipment.

More than 2,000 absent from work were not idle, and a team of 100 people were rushing to transport equipment under the organization of the National Salvation Army.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the equipment and supplies that could be moved in the mining area were transported away, and even a screw was not spared.

"Weng buzz..."

Amid the dull roar, three Japanese aircraft suddenly entered everyone's vision.

Guard Battalion Commander Liang Hongjiang ran over with a nervous look on his face: "The Japanese plane is here, protect the regiment commander and leave here immediately!"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Cheng didn't move, looking at the empty mining area not far away, analyzing: "The bombing target of the Japanese plane is the main force of the National Salvation Army, not me, Zhou Cheng."

"Have I asked you to prepare everything?"

Liang Hongjiang was embarrassed to scratch his head: "Don't worry, the materials for smoking are ready!"

"Light the fire now!" Zhou Cheng ordered decisively.

The three planes were getting closer and closer, and Zhou Cheng could already see their silver-white fuselage, and a large amount of smoke was rising from the mining area not far away.

At the beginning, it slowly rose, and after reaching a height of 70 or 80 meters, the black smoke gathered together slowly spread around, and finally formed a large area of ​​smoke, like a dark cloud, covering the mining area tightly. The planes in the sky must not see the real situation of the mining area.
