Heyuan County
"Taijun, there is bad news." Jiang Deshui, the top officer of the puppet army in Heyuan County, reported nervously to Ichiro Hirata.
"What bad news?" Ichiro Hirata raised his eyebrows. The new regiment of Tubal Road attacked Xiaowangzhuang and Xiaolizhuang. The encirclement and suppression force had just been assembled and was about to set off. At this time, another bad news came. ?
Could it be that the new group has launched another attack?
"Qiujiazhuang was occupied by the new regiment..." Jiang Deshui did not finish his words.
Ichiro Hirata's eyes widened: "Baga, what are you talking about? Has Qiujiazhuang been attacked by a new group?"
Qiujiazhuang can produce 800,000 kilograms of potatoes every year, which is an important source of military food. How can we lose it?
Besides, Qiujiazhuang's defense system is very complete. Even if the new regiment has Italian artillery, they don't have enough artillery shells to attack Qiujiazhuang.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Jiang Deshui hesitated.
After he learned the news, he obviously didn't want to believe it at all.
But when he understood the whole story, he had to accept it.
Although Qiujiazhuang's defense is very complete, their military commander has a fatal weakness.
Snapped!
Ichiro Hirata slammed his fist on the table so hard that the phone almost fell to the ground.
"Baga, this is impossible. With the conditions of Tubal Road, it is impossible for them to capture Qiujiazhuang!" Ichiro Hirata roared.
"Taijun, you should still remember that before Commander Qiu was promoted, he had just surrendered to the Imperial Army. In order to prove his loyalty, the Imperial Army asked him to slap his father, and the Imperial Army's bayonets were placed on his neck. Well, he just didn’t take action..." Jiang Deshui said.
"Baga, stop talking nonsense, how did the new group of Tubal Road capture Qiujiazhuang." Hirata Ichiro interrupted Jiang Deshui. He was not interested at all in these trivial matters such as sesame seeds and rotten millet.
"The New Regiment of Tubal Road captured Cui Baozhong from Wanjia Town and learned from Cui Baozhong the true location of the grave of Commander Qiu's father. Tubal Road went to dig up the bones of Commander Qiu's father and framed him for hiding three boxes of penicillin. Commander Qiu The commander was forced to send troops, but he was heavily ambushed by two regiments on Tubal Road..."
"Isn't there only a new group? Why are there two groups?" Ichiro Hirata interrupted suspiciously.
"I'm not sure about this. In short, their ambush strength is at least 1,500 people." Jiang Deshui replied.
"Baga, it seems that this new group has become a huge problem." Ichiro Hirata gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Deshui: "You will immediately dispatch another group, and you must eliminate the new group for me."
"Taijun, please mobilize another regiment. The strength will exceed 3,000. This is a bit overkill." Jiang Deshui paused.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. It's definitely not an accident that the New Group can rise suddenly." Ichiro Hirata said solemnly, "I feel that the New Group is a bit like Mao Zhu. They were inconspicuous at the beginning. They developed their strength secretly. This is the same as Mao Zhu. Similarly, they don’t grow very long at first, but their roots continue to absorb and accumulate nutrients. Once the time is right, moso bamboo can grow to twenty or thirty meters high in half a year. I think the same is true for this new group. Now If they break out, they must be eradicated with all their strength, and we cannot allow them to grow and develop."
"Yes, Taijun, I will draw another ball right away." Jiang Deshui nodded.
"This time, you will personally lead the troops." Hirata Ichiro said, "I will send an imperial army squadron to follow."
"Taijun, there is no need to dispatch the imperial army. I will lead three regiments..." Jiang Deshui wanted to say something.
Ichiro Hirata interrupted: "The terrain over there is complicated, so we must not underestimate the enemy."
"Okay." Jiang Deshui accepted the order.
"What's the situation at Qiujiazhuang now?" Ichiro Hirata asked.
"Tubal Road dug away the potatoes. Although Zhuangzi was destroyed, they could not destroy the land." Jiang Deshui replied.
"Send people to re-establish Zhuangzi. This important land for military supplies cannot be discarded." Hirata Ichiro said.
"Yes." Jiang Deshui withdrew.
"Hmph, the new group will cease to exist soon." Hirata Ichiro hummed.

Eighteenth Army Headquarters
The deputy commander-in-chief was looking at the map with the chief of staff when someone came to report: "Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division is here."
"Old Chen is here?" When the deputy commander and chief of staff heard this, they both looked a little stunned, but still said: "Let him in."
"yes."
Before Brigadier Chen came in, the deputy commander said: "Old Chen, if he doesn't hurry up and take down Qiujiazhuang, what is he doing here?"
"Could it be that Lao Chen has already captured Qiujiazhuang?" The chief of staff said, "Don't forget, Lao Chen is one of the Three Heroes of Huangpu, and this time there is Italian artillery to help."
"If this is the case, then our headquarters will be embarrassed to let him hand over this Italian cannon again." The deputy commander pretended to be difficult.
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Whoever can maximize the benefits of the cannon should be qualified to obtain this cannon. Lao Chen of the 386th Brigade is obviously capable."
"Wait until he comes in and ask." The deputy commander nodded.
Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade came in and saluted the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff: "Hello, sir, and chief of staff."
"Old Chen, are you here to tell us the good news?" The chief of staff looked at Chen Geng's expression, and it didn't look like he was telling us something bad.
"Chief of Staff, Boss, the 386th Brigade has finally fulfilled its mission and has captured Qiujiazhuang." The brigade commander replied, "The potatoes have been dug out and are being transported."
"What, did you defeat Qiujiazhuang so quickly?" The deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff were both stunned.
Although they guessed that the brigade commander probably captured Qiujiazhuang.
But when they actually heard the news, the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff were still very excited.
At present, the Eighth Route Army's troops are developing too fast. On the surface, there are only three divisions, but in fact the size of the army has exceeded 200,000.
The army expanded too quickly, and there were many disadvantages, such as insufficient guns and ammunition, and a shortage of food and supplies.
The seizure of the potatoes from Qiujiazhuang can greatly alleviate the urgent need.
"Yes, Qiujiazhuang has been captured." The brigade commander nodded.
"Not bad. As expected, he is a top student trained by Whampoa Military Academy. He really did a good job." The deputy commander rarely praises people.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I have already told my division commander about some situations in advance, but the division commander is busy and does not have time to come together, so he asked me to come and report to you face to face." The brigade commander faced the deputy commander-in-chief's praise. His expression is still a little...how should I put it, in short, he is a little more confident.
That bastard Li Yunlong stabbed Lou Zi and gave the weapons and ammunition from Qiujiazhuang to the Independent Regiment. When the division commander found out about this, he was very angry.
The division commander didn't want to come to the headquarters, so he asked the brigade commander to come.
The deputy commander-in-chief is now boasting, so he should be more confident that the Italian artillery belongs to the 386th Brigade.
If the Italian artillery cannot be retained, not to mention the brigade commander who will not let Li Yunlong go, the division commander will have to beat him up.
