The other side.

Zheng Qianyi also returned to Heyuan County and reported the news of Qian Bojun's acceptance to Ichiro Hirata.

"Yoshi!"

Ichiro Hirata was overjoyed when he heard the news and said: "Mr. Zheng, you are really my best friend in the Empire of Japan. Our Empire of Japan will definitely not treat you badly!"

"However, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, I need to trouble you to make another trip to Lijia Town and tell Brigadier Qian that I will mobilize heavy troops to attack the 358th Regiment's defense area early tomorrow morning to create conditions for him to lead his troops to leave Lijia Town.

"

Although Zheng Qianyi had already told Qian Bojun about this matter before, in order to have a complete plan, Hirata Ichiro felt it was necessary to inform Qian Bojun again.

"It is my honor to serve the Imperial Japanese Army!"

Before Zheng Qian had time to take a breath, he immediately rushed towards Lijia Town from Heyuan County.

…

eight pm.

The company commanders of each company of the Independent Battalion finally arrived at the headquarters of the Independent Battalion.

Wang Chengzhu, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, looked around and said, "I believe you must be curious as to why I suddenly summoned all of you to the battalion headquarters?"

Everyone nodded.

Wang Chengzhu asked himself and answered: "The reason is very simple. Qian Bojun can't sit still and is ready to betray the enemy!"

"This morning, that traitor Zheng Qianyi secretly went to Lijia Town again. When they came out of Qian Bojun's camp, Qian Bojun, Zheng Qianyi, and Zhang Fugui all had expressions on their faces that were not seen last time.

smile, so it is not difficult to judge that their conditions should have been negotiated."

"Moreover, after sending Zheng Qianyi away, Qian Bojun summoned his confidants and held a secret meeting."

"Although I don't know the content of their meeting, I think it must be related to their counterfeit plan."

"So, if nothing else happens, Qian Bojun will rebel in the next two days."

"It could be tomorrow, or it could be the day after tomorrow."

"Here is a distribution map of Qian Bojun's troops. Take a look at it."

With that said, Wang Chengzhu took out the troop distribution map drawn by Tang Ziyi and motioned for everyone to come over and watch.

After everyone had seen it, Wang Chengzhu pointed at the map and said: "Look, although Qian Bojun's troops are not concentrated in Lijia Town, but are dispersed in several nearby towns and important checkpoints, but if they

If you want to rebel and surrender to the enemy, you will definitely go to Lijia Town and meet up with the battalion commander Qian Bojun."

"And what we have to do is to control them all before they complete their assembly!"

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice and continued: "Now I will arrange the specific combat tasks."

"The reconnaissance company is responsible for intelligence reconnaissance. It will be dispatched tonight. It will go through the night and keep an eye on the movements of Qian Bojun's companies. If there is any slight movement in Qian Bojun's department, they will come back and report to me immediately!"

"In addition, the second company is responsible for controlling the second company of Qian Bojun's department, the third company is responsible for controlling the third company of Qian Bojun's department, the fourth company is responsible for controlling the fourth company of Qian Bojun's department, and the fifth company is responsible for the fifth company of Qian Bojun's department.

"

"As for the First Company and the Artillery Company stationed in Lijia Town, I will personally lead the First Company and the special forces to deal with it!"

"Qian Bojun's department has a total of 5 infantry companies, and our independent battalion also has exactly 5 infantry companies. It happens that one company controls one company of Qian Bojun's department!"

"In addition, the cavalry company acts as a reserve team, responsible for guarding and plundering the formation. Also, while we are launching operations, the baggage company must also act together to quickly clean the battlefield and deliver the captured trophies in the shortest possible time.

Transport them back to our defense zone."

After listening to Wang Chengzhu's deployment, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Hailang said with some concern: "Battal Commander, Qian Bojun's troops have more than 2,000 troops. As Yan Laoxi's direct ace troops, they are also extremely well-equipped and their combat effectiveness is terrifying.

Not much weaker than my independent battalion."

"If we go head-to-head like this, I'm afraid we may not be able to eat them all, right? Even if we can eat them, I'm afraid we will pay huge casualties."

"So, should we concentrate our superior forces and directly attack Lijia Town? As long as we control Qian Bojun, we can prevent his troops from committing treason!"

Wang Shugen, Tian Shuisheng and others also echoed: "Yes, yes, what the deputy battalion commander said makes sense!"

Wang Chengzhu smiled and said: "How to just prevent Qian Bojun from defecting to the enemy, the deputy battalion commander's proposal is of course the best choice!"

"However, my plan is not just to prevent Qian Bojun from defecting to the enemy, but also to eat up the equipment of his battalion!"

"These are Yan Laoxi's direct troops, well equipped!"

"Since they don't use these equipment to fight the Japanese, let us the Eighth Route Army come!"

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice and continued: "Of course, the deputy battalion commander's concerns are not unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed not that easy for our independent battalion to eat up Qian Bojun's men."

"However, after Qian Bojun turned against the enemy, the situation became different!"

"I believe that those who voluntarily followed Qian Bojun and surrendered to the enemy were only a small number of people, at most his confidants. The rest of the soldiers were either deceived or coerced. How much combat effectiveness can such a unit have?"

"As long as we make Qian Bojun's attempt to betray the enemy known to the public, and then use the pretense of helping Chu Yunfei suppress the rebellion, I believe we can easily control Qian Bojun's soldiers!"

"They don't even need us to take action, they will have civil strife on their own!"

After listening to Wang Chengzhu's analysis, Xu Hailang suddenly felt enlightened. His eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's go back and prepare immediately!"

"In addition, time is tight. The fourth company, fifth company, and baggage company also need to be dispatched overnight to move closer to Qian Bojun's defense area!"

"yes!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Seeing that the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu did not arrange a task for himself, Liu Qiang couldn't help but said anxiously: "Batalion Commander, what about our artillery company?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Although Qian Bojun wanted to rebel and surrender to the enemy, the soldiers under his command did not necessarily want to be traitors. Therefore, our counterinsurgency mainly focuses on disarming and suppressing, and does not need to eliminate them all like we did with the Japanese."

Therefore, there is no need to use heavy firepower weapons!"

"Your artillery company and reserve company are responsible for guarding the station to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the situation!"

"yes!"

Hearing what battalion commander Wang Chengzhu said, Liu Qiang could only nod his head in agreement.

…

After the meeting, Wang Shugen led the reconnaissance company into pieces and penetrated into Qian Bojun's defense area overnight.

Xu Hailang, Tian Shuisheng, Chen Xi and Chen Xiao immediately returned to their company headquarters to prepare.

Wang Chengzhu also led the Langya Special Forces, the Fourth Company, the Fifth Company, and the Baggage Company, and headed toward Qian Bojun's defense area overnight.
