"This puppet army has 3,000 people. Although it is a mob, they are also trained and armed by the Japanese. Be careful!" Lu Shan said.

"Will they not come to Taonan, but went to other places?"

"It shouldn't be. The Xing'an Security Army was supported by the Japanese, and the weapons, ammunition, food and salary were all provided by the Japanese. The actual decision was the Japanese consultant."

"That's a problem. I ordered Wang Rong to be careful and to prevent the counterfeiter from attacking sneak attacks!" Lu Shan added a sentence to Wang Rong's telegram.

"yes!"

Outside Tongyu City, Wang Rong led the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 9th Brigade of the East Anti-Japanese War and the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters to attack Tongyu County.

Tongyu County stationed the Fifth Cavalry Detachment of the Puppet Manchukuo Taoliao Army and an artillery brigade, with the detachment captain Zhang Junwu and the artillery captain Liu Benshan!

The two soldiers and horses combined were only 1,500, and the total strength of the police and the requisitioned civilians was less than 2,000.

Wang Rong's 9th Brigade combined with 4,000 people. In order to defeat Tongyu in one fell swoop, he lost all the strongest troops, and there were only two regiments and some logistics troops to siege Taonan.

If the Taonan defenders chose to break through at this time, it would be hard to say, and Wang Rong took risks in this move.

Once the Taonan defenders noticed that the attacking forces outside the city were reduced, and after receiving the news that Tongyu was besieged, the Japanese and puppet troops in Taonan City were likely to choose to break through!

But the timid Zhang Haipeng may not have the courage to make such a choice, and the Japanese consultants in the city may not agree!

In the Japanese dictionary, breaking through is running away, which is a manifestation of cowards. It is absolutely not allowed.

They would choose to defeat the enemy head-on rather than jump out of the enemy's siege. Of course, not all Japanese commanders are like this, and they are also clear-headed.

However, Zhang Haipeng's Japanese adviser, Colonel Ryo Sakuma, was a Japanese soldier who was fanatical about the spirit of Bushido.

After receiving the news that Tongyu was attacked, Zhang Haipeng's first idea was to be finished. This time his life might end in Taonan City.

However, Sakuma Ryozo immediately understood that the reason why the attack strength of the army outside the city had dropped significantly was that the division of troops!

This was a commander who defeated the army outside the city, and he immediately encouraged Zhang Haipeng to launch a counterattack.

Of course, Zhang Haipeng also wanted to fight. If he could defeat the Eastern Anti-Japanese War, he would have a glimmer of hope. So, with the support of Japanese advisers, he ordered the Taonan puppet troops to fight back on the whole line!

The Japanese consultant overestimated the Taoliao puppet army and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the encircled Dongkang.

If Zhang Haipeng chose to break through, he would definitely choose a point and rush hard to break out of the encirclement.

In this way, they might have the chance to rush out, but they mistakenly think that they have the ability to defeat the Dong Kang, launching a comprehensive counterattack, with equal strength and dispersed!

This is exactly what I want!

Concentrate your strength to attack a little. Perhaps the Eastern Anti-Japanese Forces besieging Taonan have the opportunity to rush out because of insufficient troops, but disperse the attack. Then there is no chance at all!

The attack launched by the puppet army in Taonan did not achieve the effect they wanted, but instead a large-scale turn against each other appeared in front of the formation!

The Taonan puppet army had already had enough of the resentment of the Japanese army's commander team in the previous battle. They were not very motivated. In this way, they would have the opportunity to gain freedom, of course they would be welcome!

So some family members were worried about Taonan City and did not dare to come over. As long as they had no scruples and were unwilling to be a cow for the Japanese traitors, as long as someone took the lead, they would naturally fall to Dong Kang's arms!

I thought it was my men who were extremely brave, but who knew that they had surrendered directly to the enemy on the battlefield with weapons!

Upon receiving this news, Zhang Haipeng's face was as angry as white paper and almost passed by without breathing.

The Japanese military adviser also angrily scolded Zhang Haipeng for being incompetent, which made Zhang Haipeng's subordinates even more dissatisfied.

For a time, the relationship between the Taonan garrison, the Japanese advisory group and the Japanese army stationed in Taonan became quite subtle!

When Lu Shan received the news, he laughed loudly. The Japanese and Zhang Haipeng shot themselves in the foot!

Leading an army to break through is the best strategy. If Zhang Haipeng chooses this path and commands properly, there is a great hope of survival.

Zhongce did nothing and continued to stick to Taonan, and there might be a glimmer of hope.

This counterattack is a difficult strategy. Although there is a little hope, he chose a strategy that is not consistent with himself. Once he fails, the consequences will be very serious!

In addition, the battlefield was fled on a large scale, the defenders' forces were greatly reduced, their strength was greatly weak, and their morale was poor, which was completely self-digging.

If there were no foreign aid, Taonan and Zhang Haipeng's fate would have been destined!

After half a day of fierce battle, the Ninth Brigade had captured most of Tongyu's county town. It was a miracle that the Tongyu puppet army could persevere until this time.

"The warriors at the frontline call for the surrenders to be lenient. If they resist stubbornly, they will be killed without any hesitation!" Wang Rong ordered with murderous intent.

"yes!"

In the north of Tongyu County, in a valley, a cavalry of nearly 3,000 people quietly ambushed here, silently.

"Mr. Sasaki, you should be able to attack. Zhang Junwu and Liu Benshan have already arrived five telegrams for help!" This cavalry is Guo Wenlin's unit of the pseudo Xing'an Garrison Army.

"Captain Guo, be careful not to be impatient!" Sasaki said slowly.

"Mr. Sasaki, how can I not be anxious? Once the East Anti-Japanese conquers Tongyu, it will be too late for us to attack again!" Guo Wenlin said,

"No, we have to choose the best attack time, don't act rashly!" Sasaki came.

"Why?"

"The Chinese army knows our existence. They don't know where we are now, so they must be prepared. At this time, we may not be able to defeat the other party and save Tongyu City!" Sasaki said, "If they wait until they get where we are, they will naturally relax their vigilance!"

"How did they discover our whereabouts?" Guo Wenlin asked.

"I have sent out a small army and they will act as ours, so that once the Chinese army is reconnaissance, the Chinese army sieges will naturally relax their vigilance!" Sasaki said.

"But how do we know the news they knew?" Guo Wenlin asked in confusion.

"Let's know when their scouts come back!"

"I understand!" Guo Wenlin nodded.

"Report to the commander. I found that the cavalry in the East Anti Resistance came back from the west of the city, and the horse was very fast!" the correspondent reported.

"Yaoxi, the Chinese army was indeed fooled!" Sasaki Dao smiled proudly, "Captain Guo, now you can order your troops to prepare for attack!"

"Okay, Mr. Sasaki!" Guo Wenlin nodded.

Temporary Command of the 9th Brigade Outside the City.

"Report, the investigative platoon leader Tian Liye is back!"

"Liye. What are your discoveries?" Wang Rong handed Tian Liye a cup of warm water.

Tian Liye drank all a cup of warm water in two gulps, then wiped his mouth and said, "Brig Commander, we found a cavalry with a large number of people. We didn't dare to get close to each other, but it depends on the length of the team, which is at least three or four thousand people!"

"Three or four thousand people, are they Xing'an puppet troops from Guo Wenlin's army?" Wang Rong frowned slightly, "Where is it?"

"Here!" Tian Liye pointed at the map.

"Longshan?"

"Yes, it's in Longshan. I asked the nearby herders. They said that the place is Longshan!" Tian Liye said.

"Longshan is at least seventy or eighty miles away from Tongyu County. Why didn't Guo Wenlin's troops take the main road but take the small road?" Wang Rong was very surprised.

"Maybe they were afraid of being ambushed by us, so they did not take the main road, but took the small road. This way, although it was a little later, it was safer. The road was in line with the current situation of the Xing'an Army!" Chief of Staff Li Yun said.

"No, they are cavalry, not infantry, and there is no need to be afraid of ambush. Four legs always walk faster than two legs, so this is a suspicious enemy soldier!" Wang Rong said decisively.

"If this is a suspicious soldier, the enemy may be near us!" Li Yuan was shocked and then judged.

"Where can we hide three or four thousand people nearby?" Wang Rong asked, "Hurry up and invite the guide here!"

After asking, the guide hesitated for a moment and said a place that only there might be so many people hidden there without being discovered.

Because the locals never go there.

"Brig Commander, send someone to see where to see it right away?" Li Yuan suggested.

"No need, if there is really an army hidden there, it will be too late for us to go now!" Wang Rong shook his head and said.

"What should we do? This place is less than ten miles away from us, and the cavalry can arrive in ten minutes. Now is the important time to attack the city. Once this cavalry is killed, our losses will be immeasurable!" A layer of sweat appeared on Li Yuan's forehead, and his face was anxious.

"Didn't we leave a cavalry company? Can we block one?"

"A cavalry company can only block for a few minutes at most, but it is three thousand strange soldiers!" Li Yuan said.

"Chief of Staff, calm down, you must not be distracted at this time!" A cold light flashed in Wang Rong's eyes, "The enemy is cunning, are I, Wang Rong, not prepared?"

"Brig Commander, what do you mean?"

"I also have an ambush!" Wang Rong sneered!

"We also have ambushers, where are they?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Why have I never heard of it!"

"The time has not come, so you naturally don't know, Chief of Staff." Wang Rong said, "But it's almost time now!"

"Communication!"

"road!"

"Send a telegram to Commander Hu Baoshan immediately and tell him that he can move!" Wang Rong ordered!

"yes!"

"Hu Baoshan, Hu Baoshan from Zhanyu's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army?" Li Yuan asked in surprise.

"It is Hu Baoshan from Zhanyu. He has agreed to accept our reorganization. In the future, everyone will be a family. His troops will be streamlined and reorganized to supplement our 2nd regiment!" Wang Rong explained, "This is an agreement between President Lu and Hu Baoshan. As long as we fight eastward to advance to Taonan, he will lead his army to join us!"

"There is something like this?" Li Yuan was extremely surprised.
