Linfen, Shanxi.

The 33rd Army of the Shanxi Sui Army, General Command.

Zhang Zhengyu, the commander of the 6th Independent Brigade of the 33rd Army, looked at a Lieutenant General sitting upright in front of him and said, "Standard, this is roughly the case with the Japanese Morita Brigade.

Only the information we have received so far is that although the Japanese Morita Brigade is a mixed brigade, it is definitely a very hard bone. If you fight alone, my independent 6th Brigade has no chance of winning!"

"That's it~~~!"

The lieutenant general's brows were deeply frowning.

He is very familiar with his beloved general Zhang Zhengyu.

Knowing that he was not an iron-blooded man who was easily defeated, but before the battle began, the four big words "no chance of winning" were expressed.

Japanese Morita Brigade, a powerful opponent!

Not only is there an established artillery corps, but there is also a 2ooo cavalry regiment to assist in defense.

The addition of these two makes the Japanese Morita Brigade extremely powerful in combat effectiveness!

For a moment, the lieutenant general was also worried!

He understood what this attack would mean!

This large-scale proactive attack was the first large-scale proactive attack in North China and a milestone attempt.

Its impact is not only limited to North China, but also concerns the anti-Japanese situation in the entire China, and is an important attempt under the anti-Japanese situation in the new stage!

This lieutenant general commander is the lieutenant general commander of the 33rd Army of the Jinsui Army, named Sun Chu.

Commander Sun Chu said in a deep voice: "Zhengyu, as you said, this time, we are really a little too anxious when we are a brigade of our army against the enemy and the Japanese army. If I transfer another brigade and cooperate with your troops to fight, are you sure?"

Two brigades have a Japanese military brigade?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhengyu still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Military throne, it's not that I'm underestimating myself or looking down on the combat effectiveness of my Jinsui Army, but that we may really not be able to win this time. Even the 887th Regiment of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suffered a loss a few days ago at the hands of the Japanese."

"oh?"

Immediately, the commander of the army, Sun Chu, was shocked, "Even the iron cock Ouyang people suffered a loss in their hands?"

"Yes, the military."

Brigade Commander Zhang Zhengyu responded and immediately told the truth about the fact that Li Yunlong's troops had attacked hundreds of Japanese transport teams.

Suddenly, the military commander Sun Chu's expression was also very bad, "If this is the case, then this matter will be a bit difficult!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became a little solemn.

Zhang Zhengyu looked embarrassed and seemed to struggle. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Military Commander, Xu Beizhi said bluntly that even if he wanted to make a large-scale proactive attack, it should not start with our 33rd Army.

Shang Zhen's 32nd Army, Yang Aiyuan's 34th Army, and Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army, their combat effectiveness is far higher than our 33rd Army. If any of their troops were used to fight against the enemy Japanese Morita Brigade, the effect they would definitely receive would be much better than ours!”

Brigade Commander Zhang Zhengyu said in a little indignantly: "I just can't understand. Why doesn't Chief Yan understand such a simple truth?"

Among the several army-level combat units under the Jinsui Army, the 33rd Army is at the bottom.

According to Zhang Zhengyu's thinking logic, since it is an important attempt, we should make a concerted effort and achieve the strongest combat effectiveness against the enemy Japanese army!

He didn't understand why Yan Xishan asked his troops to attack with his name!

You should know that Zhang Zhengyu's 6th Independent Brigade had just been in southern Jinan two months ago. After experiencing a war, the personnel in his troops suffered heavy casualties and their combat effectiveness had not yet recovered.

Isn’t it a search for death to take the death of a broken brigade?

Zhang Zhengyu doesn’t understand!

He really can't figure it out!

“Oh~~~~!”

The commander of the army, Sun Chu, sighed and said, "Zhengyu, you are an excellent soldier. There is no doubt about this, but you don't understand politics.

With the strength of your troops, he is not a rival to the Japanese Morita Brigade. How could Chief Yan not understand?

This time he was to test the Japanese army's combat effectiveness at this time, and the other was to test me, Mr. Sun!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhengyu was silent.

Since joining the Jin army, Sun Chu has followed Yan Xishan as an intern platoon leader. Since then, he has fought fiercely for decades and has been promoted. He has gone from a lower-level officer to a senior general and has become the current lieutenant general commander.

Logically speaking, Sun Chu should be Yan Xishan's direct lineman.

But this is not the case!

Sun Chu has never gained the complete trust of Yan Xishan and is regarded as a "miscellaneous brand" among his direct lineages, quite similar to Wei Lihuang's position in the Central Army.

In fact, he was just a way to use his relationship. He served as the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief at the time of war. Once the matter was finished, he would transfer government affairs and seize his military power.

Despite this, he only cared about the kindness of the gift that Yan Chuangcai had rewarded and was always loyal to Yan. Since the Xinhai period, many generals from southern Jin in the Jin army have turned against Yan. Some people have also instigated him to gain self-respecting troops and surrender to Jiang himself;

Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was a military talent and had tried to attract him several times, but Sun Chu was unmoved. He often told people, "Mr. Yan is my old commander. I was promoted and cultivated by Mr. Yan. I cannot be rebellious in the middle. In the future, I will jump off the cliff and I will jump off the cliff and roll the ditch."

~~~~~~

"Martial throne, is this battle really inevitable?"

Zhang Zhengyu asked in embarrassment that he understood the difficulties of this battle. Even if the two brigades of Jinsui troops fought together, he was not optimistic.

Because this battle is likely to turn into a shocking war!

The Japanese army participating at that time may not be just a Japanese Morita brigade!

The Japanese troops around them may also participate!

Or the Eighth Route Army units around Baiqu City may also have a melee if the battle is extremely affected.

Zhang Zhengyu said in a deep voice: "Military, this battle will break the balance and is very likely to evolve into a large-scale battle of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, I am humble to advise you. If this battle can be avoided, you must not be forced!"

"hehe!"

At that moment, the commander of the army, Sun Chu, smiled helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Captain Yan's order, do you say I can make the decision?"

This battle is inevitable!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Zhang Zhengyu saluted the army solemnly and said, "Since there is no way to avoid it, please rest assured. My Zhang Zhengyu and our independent 6th Brigade will fight to the death. Even if they are all killed in battle, they will not be famous for our 33rd Army!"

"Okay, OK, OK!"

The army leader Sun Chu immediately stood up excitedly and said, "I would rather break than bend and look at death as if I were home. This is the Zhang Zhengyu I know."

"Thank you, Junzu!" Zhang Zhengyu said modestly.

"Zhang Zhengyu, this time I will transfer the 2000 Brigade of the 71st Division, the strongest combat effectiveness of our 33rd Army, to let them cooperate with your troops to fight. In this battle, you, Zhang Zhengyu, are the commander-in-chief, and are fully responsible for this battle!"

Army leader Sun Chu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the military seat!"

Zhang Zhengyu replied loudly.

The White Tiger Base Area of ​​Taihang Mountain.

The White Tiger Base Area at this site is particularly lively. The people from every household walked out of their homes and gathered at the entrance of the village.

Many ordinary people are waiting for Ouyang.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "Hey, this welcome work shouldn't have been so popular, and the impact is not very good."

"Hahaha!"

Liu Tongluo laughed and said, "Political Commissar, this is nothing. You are not unaware of our brigade commander's prestige in the base area. The people are sincerely supporting our brigade commander. If you change to someone else, you can try it?

To put it bluntly, even if the headquarter is here, there is no such scene, right?"

Long Dagu, the leader of the new group, also smiled and said, "We have controlled the welcoming work with the greatest efforts. Otherwise, the people in the villages around our base will have to come!"

At this moment, many of the commanders and fighters directly under the brigade department were also standing at the entrance of the village, waiting for Ouyang.

Yang Zhihua, Li Dazhi, Gao Zhihang, Long Fei, Sun Desheng, Zhang Mazi, Tang Shiye, Ding Dafanpan, Shunliu, Ye Cunxin, Dai Tianli, Ma Jiujin, Dai Ruobing, Dai Ruonan, Xiao Ya, etc.

At the same time, there are other powerful generals summoned, which are also here.
