Once Shen Quan takes Ping'an County, the Japanese will definitely mobilize all their forces to deal with the new regiment. This will definitely be a fierce battle.
In addition to troops, large-scale wars also require more material and food support.
These all take time to prepare.
According to Shen Quan's vision, after taking Ping'an County, he will develop his own arsenal, hospital, canteen, etc.
We must know that counties are always much better than towns, and there will be many resources that can be mobilized.
After Zhao Gang listened carefully, he nodded and said: "This Chief Yan is really thoughtful. Old Shen, you have to be careful and don't be knocked down by sugar-coated bullets named Yan."
Shen Quan smiled: "I wish Commander Yan would send me more sugar-coated bullets. I, Shen Quan, will take care of them."
This... although it sounds really unkind.
But it seems pretty good.
…
…
Chongqing mountain city.
This is the highest command center of the national army, and countless combat orders are issued from here.
At this moment, in the office building.
headquarters
There was a knock on the door.
At this moment, the commander was looking at the battle map hanging on the wall. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he opened his mouth slightly and responded: "Come in!"
The next second, the door was opened.
Mr. Dai, the head of the military command, walked in.
The commander saw Mr. Dai and asked, "What happened? Do you have to report it early in the morning?"
Mr. Dai replied: "Report to the principal, we have just received a telegram from the World War II zone. Because the content is important, we are bothering you."
Commander: "Oh, what's the content?"
Mr. Dai: "It's about the Eight-Road New Group Shenquan."
Chenquan?
New group?
The commander thought of this name in just a moment: "Isn't this the hero in the Wujiapo battle? What happened to him recently?"
Mr. Dai: "According to the intelligence we have, this Shen Quan led the new regiment to take away the Japanese stronghold of Huting, and also wiped out a senior Japanese officer observation group."
"This observation group was personally ordered by the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army Okamura Neiji, and its leader is Lieutenant General Hattori."
"In addition to one lieutenant general, this observation group also includes three major generals, and countless junior and senior officers."
"And Shen Quan, with only part of the new regiment's troops, killed all the Japanese senior officers."
"In other words, in the battle at the Huting stronghold, the new regiment not only wiped out the Japanese observation group and uprooted the Huting stronghold, but also annihilated thousands of Japanese."
Hearing this, the crutch in the commander's hand was so shocked that it fell to the ground. Mr. Dai quickly bent down to pick it up for the commander.
At this moment, there was no expression change on the Commander-in-Chief's face, just like a dead corpse, without any change.
Throughout the years of the Anti-Japanese War, if the national army killed a Japanese soldier at the rank of colonel, they would be rewarded and promoted. It would take a long time for this to happen.
And a small new regiment actually killed a lieutenant general and three major generals in a battle, which made the commander simply couldn't believe it.
After being stunned for a long time, the commander came back to his senses and said: "I really didn't expect that the strength of the new regiment has reached such a terrifying level, and even killed Hattori Naomi!"
"wonderful!"
"wonderful!"
"It's really wonderful!"
After coming back to his senses, the commander looked uncontrollably excited.
Mr. Dai: "Yes, even though their weapons and equipment are very backward, it is incredible that they can still achieve such impressive results!"
"Especially the killing of Lieutenant General Hattori Naoomi. This is the highest-level Japanese we have killed since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War."
The commander said excitedly: "Give me a commendation, a big commendation!"
"Not only will military expenditures be allocated to the new regiment, but we will also be given a batch of weapons and vigorously publicized so as to boost the morale of the soldiers on the front line."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Dai was stunned.
For a long time, although the two sides have a cooperative relationship on the surface, they have been at each other's throats secretly.
Especially the commander, who has always hated the Eighth Route Army.
But Mr. Dai never expected that he would be so generous as to give military expenses and weapons and equipment to the New Regiment.
Mr. Dai asked cautiously: "I don't know what the standard of the reward is, please make it clear!"
The commander thought for a moment and said boldly: "The military reward is 30,000 yuan. As for the weapons, there are 200 Zhongzheng rifles, two heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, and five mortars."
Good guy, this is a big deal, enough to equip a reinforced company.
This also shows how much the commander loves Shen Quan.
The commander was also a shrewd man. Seeing that Mr. Dai did not continue to ask, he took the initiative and said, "Do you know why Xinyi Tuan is rewarded with such great fanfare?"
"I don't know, but you must have the principal's reason for doing this."
"You have always had this temper. You are cautious about what you say and do, for fear of giving people an excuse."
Mr. Dai lowered his head slightly, just smiled awkwardly, and did not answer.
"To tell you the truth, now that the war of resistance has entered a stalemate stage, the confidence of the soldiers is constantly being consumed."
"There are even rumors among the people that we are going to fail. Everyone thinks that the Japanese are going to win and they are fighting passively."
"And now that the new regiment has won such a powerful battle that even Naoomi Hattori was killed, we just took this opportunity to publicize it.
We must let the soldiers know that the little devils will lose and that we, the sons and daughters of Daxia, are capable of driving them out. "
"Wise leadership!"
When the commander stopped speaking, Mr. Dai quickly agreed.
"It's up to you to handle this matter personally. All newspapers under our control must use the most important pages to publicize this matter."
"The department you lead will also secretly add fuel to the flames and use this incident to push my anti-war sentiment to a climax!"
"Yes, I understand!"
The commander nodded: "By the way, you have to do something for me. Find out the relevant information about Shen Quan as soon as possible. I want to understand this person's life."
The commander of Shancheng also began to pay attention to Shen Quan.
After the battle in Cangyunling, Shen Quan attracted the attention of the mountain city commander.
Now that the new regiment has once again achieved great military success, people are even more curious about Shen Quan's life.
"Okay, I'll go down and arrange for people to collect them!"
During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Dai's men were all-pervasive. From top to bottom, from the top to the grassroots, there were Mr. Dai's spies, and there were so many of them that they were countless.
With such a powerful information network, it is not difficult to find out Shen Quan's life.
"Well, I'll report it as soon as I have the information."
Mr. Dai: "Okay!"
…
The next day, under the personal control of Mr. Dai, more than 20 newspapers in the mountain city publicly reported the news of the victory of the Huting stronghold, and solemnly promoted the contributions of the New Regiment and Shen Quan.
For a time, Xinyi Tuan and Shen Quan became famous fighting heroes throughout Daxia, causing huge repercussions. Even the foreign forces in the concession began to notice the name Shen Quan.
