Tiger Head Mountain.
Regiment Commander Qiu Ming was discussing with his staff officer Li Yong.
"Advisor Li, why don't you analyze why there's no movement from the Japanese recently?”
"After suffering such a huge loss at Mount Qifeng, not only did he not take revenge on our Tiger Head Mountain, he even shrank the range of the stronghold.”
"This doesn't make sense."
Li Yong immediately said,"
"It's indeed unreasonable."
"According to my analysis, the Japanese must be holding back their evil intentions and preparing to accumulate strength to counterattack.”
"It's also possible that the Japanese are also looking for the team that wiped out the entire squadron in Frontline Sky.”
"Another possibility is that the Japanese have been sent to the battlefield.”
Qiu Ming said,"
"As expected of our regiment's number one advisor, your analysis is very accurate.”
"Look at the newspaper. The Japanese are fighting with the Chinese army in the village of Tai 'er in Lunan. The war is very tense.”
"Right now, the war is still in the strategic defense phase. The national army has attracted a lot of attention from the devils on the front line.”
"Our brother troops are also engaged in guerrilla warfare in central and southern Shandong.”
"I believe that as long as we persevere, the Japanese's military strength and financial resources will be almost exhausted this year, and then they will stop expanding.”
"The devils in Laiyang County are already showing signs of fatigue, which is the epitome of the entire Lu War Zone.”
"Next, we must actively carry out the battle behind the enemy's back. We will fight when the enemy is tired, and we will retreat when the enemy advances.”
"There will be a tough battle to fight next.”
Li Yong nodded repeatedly after hearing it.
"Guild Leader, you're right."
"It seems that we have to increase our manpower as soon as possible, in case the Japanese don't have enough defense power when they counterattack.”
"The common people believe in our 8th Route Army because we can defend against the devils.”
Qiu Ming nodded again.
"That's right!"
"Our Eighth Route Army is a team that comes from the masses.”
At this point, Qiu Ming took a puff of his pipe."
"That's strange. Why haven't our people returned after leaving for an entire morning?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jie rushed in.
"Report!"
"Come in."
"Yo, the regiment commander and the staff officer are here.”
When Li Yong saw this, he immediately urged,
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Is there a problem with the recruitment?”
Zhao Jie nodded and told him everything that had happened.
"Regiment commander, advisor, this is what happened.”
"That Great Leader Ye of Clear Wind Camp used to keep a low profile, but now he's instigating his bandits to snatch our people.”
Qiu Ming frowned, the pipe in his hand hanging by his mouth.
"Is there such a thing?"
"There are so many bandits around Tiger Head Mountain, but no one has ever dared to snatch someone from me.”
Qiu Ming was so angry that he put out the pipe in his hand.
At this moment, Li Yong suddenly asked,"
"Wait…"
"Zhao Jie, are you sure those villagers left with Clear Wind Camp willingly?”
Zhao Jie nodded.
"Absolutely."
"But we can't rule out the possibility that they were threatened by bandits.”
"Because they are stronger than our 8th Route Army.”
Qiu Ming picked up his cigarette and took another puff.
"Tell me your reason."
Zhao Jie straightened his body and said after a brief recollection,
"They look like they were trained by the regular army. Not only are they disciplined during wartime, but their weapons are even better than ours. Our guns are mixed, but their guns are all made in Hanyang.”
"And the strange thing is that many of the bandits 'arms seem to be used to resist light machine guns all year round.”
When Li Yong heard this, he questioned,
"Zhao Jie, are you sure? There are no jokes in the army."
Zhao Jie replied,
"Yes!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the squad leader in my platoon. Regiment commander, there's a possibility. Could it be that Zhou Weiguo went straight to Clear Wind Camp after leaving Yang Village?”
"If he was the one who led the soldiers, it is possible. He has the identity of the commander of the national army, so it is not impossible for him to unify the Hanyang Empire.”
"Otherwise, it would be ridiculous for bandits to have such powerful combat strength.”
Qiu Ming immediately shouted,"
"Great Dragon!"
"Here!"
"Immediately gather all the officers above company level for a meeting!”
A moment later, the Tiger Head Mountain Regiment held a meeting.
Qiu Ming said to everyone,"
"Comrades, do you still remember the troops that helped us fight for reinforcements at Baqifeng Stronghold?”
"We have a lead on this unit."
The battalion commander asked,"
"Is it the national army?"
Qiu Ming replied,"
"I don't think so. The national army is still resisting the attack of the devils in Feng County. They are now retreating, and they obviously don't have the strength to wipe out the entire devil squadron.”
"Right now, the highest probability is probably Ye Chen's troops from Clear Wind Camp.”
After Qiu Ming finished speaking, the battalion commander asked,"
"That's not right. They have less than 200 people and dozens of guns. How can they wipe out a Japanese squadron?”
Qiu Ming waved his hand and said,
"That was a few months ago.”
"Recently, the news is that Clear Wind Camp is recruiting soldiers and buying horses. They even intercepted the people we planned to recruit in Yang Village.”
"The reason why Jordan was able to fight this battle is very likely because Zhou Weiguo, who had been to Tiger Head Mountain before, went to his place.”
"Their recruitment is probably to replenish the manpower lost in the fight against the devils.”
When Qiu Ming said this, the others were puzzled."
"Zhou Weiguo came to our Tiger Head Mountain? Then why did you go to Clear Wind Camp?"
At this moment, Wu Yuanshan looked at Li Yong with a meaningful look.
"Ahem…"
Li Yong cleared his throat and stood up from his seat.
"Leader, comrades, I need to reflect on this matter.”
"It's because I didn't handle my relationship with him well, so he left.”
Xu Guangrong had always been on the same side as Li Yong, so he stood up and admitted his mistake.
"Guild Leader, I was also involved in this matter.”
Qiu Ming pulled a long face."
"I just heard that he was from the national army. Now that we are facing a great enemy, what kind of magnanimity should our Eighth Route Army have?”
"However, Old Li and Xu Guangrong took the initiative to stand up, which means that their awareness is not low.”
"But let me say this too. In the future, don't let this kind of thing happen on our Tiger Head Mountain.”
"It's Guild Leader!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Yong and Xu Guangrong lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes. Qiu Mingcai gathered everyone's opinions.
"Now, let's discuss what we should do.”
At this moment, a battalion commander raised his hand and spoke.
"Let me tell you, what our base lacks the most now is a commander who has combat experience with the Japanese.”
"If we bring more than a hundred bandits to wipe out a squadron of the devils, we must recruit such a talent to our Tiger Head Mountain.”
"At this time, replenishing manpower around the base is secondary.”
"It's easy to get a thousand gold coins, but it's hard to get a good general.”
"That's right, I support the first battalion commander."”
Third Battalion Commander: " Hmph, if Zhou Weiguo is really that capable, as long as he's willing to come, I'm willing to be his Battalion Commander.”
Qiu Ming added,"
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Ye Chen is the commander of this battle.”
"Zhou Weiguo might not be in Clear Wind Camp."
"However, the strength of Clear Wind Camp needs to be investigated.”
"It's good for us to be friendly with them.”
"Uniting all the forces that can be united is the best way to defeat the Japanese.”
"In the past, I was responsible for neglecting Clear Wind Camp.”
"Since everyone has agreed, we have to send someone to Clear Wind Camp to express our stance.”
"Then the second question is, who should we send?”
Xu Guangrong immediately said,"
"Reporting, Guild Leader. Since I made this mistake, send me over.”
"It just so happens that Zhao Jie is my soldier. I can't absolve myself of the blame for such a serious conflict between him and the men of Clear Wind Camp.”
Li Yong coughed.
"Guild Leader, I can't go."
"Although I handled this matter too harshly, I can't ask a national army officer to help us fight the devils.”
"It's even more impossible to hire bandits."
Qiu Ming said angrily,"
"What's with your attitude?"
"With your attitude, you won't be able to get him back even if I asked you to.”
"Old Qiu…"
Political commissar Wu Yuanshan waved his hand to stop Qiu Ming from getting angry and continued,"
"I suggest that Chen Yi and Fan Xiaoyu go with Commander Xu.”
"Officer Chen is the best at this kind of work. Moreover, Fan Xiaoyu has contact with Zhou Weiguo and Ye Chen.”
