From the perspective of the Japanese.
Under normal circumstances, the order that was conveyed to the subordinate troops indicated what kind of order they were about to execute.
However, Zhang Qian didn't know if they would send out soldiers to inform their subordinates of the actual retreat direction.
Since he couldn't know the truth, guesses could only be guesses.
If it was a guess, there was a possibility of failure.
Since that was the case, the best way was to ambush them separately.
As for what kind of results they could obtain, it would depend on luck.
If they were heading towards the retreat route of the First Regiment, Zhang Qian could guarantee that he would be able to annihilate all these Japanese at Liang Fengshan.
However, if it was the other way around, he could not guarantee it.
Let's see how Ma Shan Zhan will command the battle.
Of course, Zhang Qian had his own selfish reasons for making such an arrangement.
Although Ma Shan Zhan was a national hero, he was also one in history. However, if he grew stronger in Xishan Province in the future, he would be a potential danger to Zhang Qian even though he was not an enemy on the surface.
If the Japanese really retreated to the path they had ambushed, the remaining Japanese troops would be enough to make Ma Shan Zhan suffer.
A not-so-powerful force in Xishan Province was Zhang Qian's last choice.
································
The retreat of the Japanese had left the entire northern part of Xishan Province empty.
The remaining three regiments of the Self-Defense Division began to clean up the battlefield.
Other than heavy weapons and cannons, all the ordinary rifles were given to Ma Shan Zhan.
As a part of this battle, they had paid a great price.
If he took all of them away, it would be a little unkind.
Furthermore, these single-shot rifles were nothing to Zhang Qian.
He was only interested in the machine guns, mortars, and grenades.
This way, if there was an opportunity to cooperate in the future, there would not be any misunderstandings or differences between them.
Other than the mortar battalion of the 1st Regiment and the Artillery Regiment, which were sent to ambush the fleeing Japanese soldiers, Zhang Qian led the remaining soldiers of the 3rd Regiment and the Artillery Regiment back to his hometown.
The battle here would soon catch the attention of the Japanese, and 80,000 soldiers were wiped out. Even for the Japanese, it was very painful.
Zhang Qian found it hard to believe that the Japanese would remain indifferent to his and Ma Shan Zhan's actions.
Next, the Japanese would definitely retaliate.
The earlier they returned to Xishan Province, the earlier they could make preparations.
The following battle would determine the fate of the entire self-defense division.
································
Just as Zhang Qian and Ma Shan Zhan had finished their battle in the north, the forces in the south had already learned of the war they had started here.
However, even though they were shocked by Zhang Qian and Ma Shan Zhan's generosity, they didn't have the energy to care about it.
Because just now, the national army's Zhang Xueliang, just like in history, started an internal incident in the national army!
With the country in danger, the generals led by him and Yang Hucheng jointly proposed to stop the internal civil war in Xishan Province.
At the same time, they would acknowledge the existence of the army, Ma Shan Zhan in the northern part of Xishan Province, and the Xishan Province Self-Defense Division. They would join forces to resist the invasion of Japan!
Of course, Old Jiang was also temporarily detained by Zhang Xueliang just like in history.
Facing such a situation, Old Jiang had no choice but to compromise.
In the end, the national army acknowledged the existence of the supply army, Ma Shanzhan, and the self-defense division, and joined forces to resist the war.
When Zhang Qian, who was in Xishan Province, received the news, it was already the next day.
However, Zhang Qian was very agreeable to such an action.
Joining forces to fight together was the general trend, and it was not something that a single person could stop.
This was the common wish of the Chinese people!
During the war, whether it was the national army, Ma Shan Zhan or Zhang Qian.
They belonged to the same resistance team.
However, there were a total of 29 armies.
Ma Shan Zhan was the 7th division, Zhang Qian was the 9th division, and the remaining 27 divisions were the national and supply divisions. (I believe everyone knows what the army is, so I won't say it.)）
They were both official ranks of the country, regardless of their strength.
Their respective armies did not interfere with each other.
It was equivalent to acknowledging the status of these private armed forces and showing goodwill.
At the same time, it also showed the intention of their national army to resist.
After this incident, the entire Southern Army began to march toward the battlefield.
After learning about the changes in the national army, the Japanese army also began to speed up the stabilization process.
They would quickly increase the number of troops in the occupied area and eliminate the armed forces.
In the entire Xishan Province, the largest armed force was Zhang Qian's Self-Defense Division, which was now the Ninth Army.
Other than that, there was Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army.
Although the Jin Suijun was actually a national army, they were now divided into the north and south, so the entire Jin Suijun could only temporarily listen to Yan Laoxi's arrangements.
The current Jinsui Army was holed up in the southwest of Xishan Province, dealing with the Japanese.
The military general in charge of the entire Xishan province immediately sent an order to the Japanese troops stationed in Xishan province after learning that the Chinese army was participating in the war.
He made Zhang Qian's self-defense division the primary target of the Japanese army in Xishan Province.
At the same time, the military would send air support!
They had to destroy Zhang Qian's self-defense division in a short period of time. Otherwise, the Japanese army would be pincered by the Jinsui Army and the Ninth Army.
Therefore, from the perspective of the entire Xishan Province and even North China, destroying the 9th army was the top priority.
After the Japanese army in Xishan Province received the instructions from the Japanese military headquarters, they quickly withdrew their forces. Only 40,000 troops were left at the front line of Xishan Province to deal with the Jinsui Army. The remaining 110,000 regular troops began to surround the Zhangjiapu area in the north.
The 110,000-strong army was truly menacing.
Zhang Qian, who had a sharp intelligence tool, knew the Japanese's plan to encircle and annihilate him like the back of his hand.
Zhang Qian was also very worried about this.
Before attacking Xishan, Zhang Qian knew this moment was coming.
The enemy was strong and he was weak. This situation was inevitable.
Even if he didn't attack the Japanese army in Xishan, it would only delay the arrival of this day.
When the time came, it would be really uncomfortable to be attacked by the Japanese from both sides.
Therefore, Zhang Qian never regretted his decision.
After that, at twelve o'clock, a chapter was sent first. After that, he would update ten chapters one after another. It was not the kind of ten chapters with a thousand words to make up the numbers, but ten chapters with a full weight of two thousand words. If the number of users reached 1,000, they would go crazy. Even if they didn't sleep, they would update 20 times on the first day. After that, he would update the game daily. The better his results were, the more guaranteed he would get.
If the number of users reached 1500, that would mean 1500 users. Ten daily updates!
Don't brag. The new book period was due to the exposure of the new book, so they did not dare to move too fast. After that, he went all out.
I won't say any more nonsense. I sincerely hope that all the readers will support me and help me!!!
