When Yan Laoxi and Wen Ling were talking in the command room of the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters.

It was already very quiet in Heyuan County after 3:30 in the morning.

The gunshots and explosions caused by the sporadic exchanges of fire between the scattered and concealed Japanese troops after the fierce battle in the city, as well as some scattered soldiers from the third battalion of the puppet army who were hiding, and soldiers from the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army who were cleaning up the battlefield, have also been completely silent.

Come down.

At this time, Xu Rui had not rested yet, nor was it time to rest.

After all, no one knew whether the Japanese reinforcements that had previously reinforced Sakata Nobori would be able to counterattack with a false shot.

Xu Rui will not feel completely at ease until dawn.

Therefore, Xu Rui was still in the regiment headquarters and did not go to rest.

"Group seat."

At the regiment headquarters in Heyuan County, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu saw that Xu Rui had talked with him for a long time and discussed the details of the next control of Heyuan County and other places. Without going to rest, he advised: "Before dawn, I will be in the regiment."

The troops are on duty here to guard against Japanese reinforcements and fight back."

"If the Japanese reinforcements dare to do this, I will send someone to wake you up then!"

Xu Rui sat, waved his hands and smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, are you concerned about me?".

"nonsense!"

Luo Youdu rolled his eyes at Xu Rui and said with a smile: "That's natural. You, Tuanzuo, are the backbone of our 303rd Regiment."

"He came out from Heiyun Village and attacked Wanjia Town and Sanlipu, ambushed the Japanese who were reinforcing Sanlipu, and then attacked Heyuan County in a pincer movement. After breaking the city, they completely wiped out the rest of the Bantian Regiment and the third battalion of the puppet army. The fight lasted until after three o'clock in the morning.

Finish."

After a pause, Luo Youdu smiled and continued: "You are tired from commanding the regiment. It's time to go down and rest and catch up on your sleep."

"Anyway, the Japs' reinforcements will most likely not fight back, and the Japs' reinforcements won't be that stupid."

Xu Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not tired.".

"Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta-ta!!!"

Just as Luo Youdu was about to continue persuading Xu Rui to go down to sleep and rest, Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer in charge of the communications office of the 303rd Regiment, walked quickly. The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of Luo Youdu and Xu Rui who were speaking.

"You boy, are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Seeing this, Xu Rui thought it was an emergency report from the cavalry battalion scouts lurking on the cordon about five or six kilometers south of Heyuan County, so he said in a solemn voice: "Could it be that the reinforcements of the little Japanese have really returned to the carbine?"

"That's not it, Danzao."

Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer of the 303rd Regiment, walked up to Luo Youdu and Xu Rui, stood at attention and saluted, handed the telegram in his hand to Xu Rui, and said: "Chief of Staff, this is a message from the Second Theater Command Commander's Department.

"Electrification Commendation Telegram."

"Electrification award from the superior officer?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui couldn't help but be surprised and said: "We didn't have clear power, how did the superiors know about us?".

"Tuan Zuo, you'll know just by looking at it."

Gu Jiaping shrugged, just pointed at the commendation telegram and said.

Xu Rui didn't know why, so he unfolded the telegram and read it.

Under the light, the text on the telegram can be read clearly.

In less than a minute, Xu Rui had already read the so-called commendation telegram sent by the superior department, and then handed it to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"Group seat."

After Luo Youdu took it and read it, his expression was also wonderful, and he said speechlessly: "At this time, Chief Yan, the stingy commander of the Second War Zone, actually thinks highly of our motley army?"

"The military pay, food, ammunition and other things that have been in arrears for several years have also been replenished. However, the price is that we must be directly controlled by the commander's department remotely!"

Xu Rui snorted and sneered, and then complained: "What does Yan Laoxi think I am?".

"It's of some value, no, it's of great value, so I can't wait to seize the command of the 303rd Regiment. What a beautiful idea!"

Although I knew Xu Rui had despised Yan Laoxi in the past, I didn't expect Xu Rui to express his contempt and complain so openly.

So, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Tuanzuo, you also have to give face to Commander Yan!".

"That's not a good thing to say to Commander Yan like that!"

Xu Rui said disdainfully: "I don't know how Yan Laoxi knew about things in northwest Shanxi. After all, this stingy guy is hiding in the chief executive's department in northwest Shanxi."

"However, Yan Laoxi already knows the situation here. It seems that there may be a rat active in the city!"

When Luo Youdu heard this, his expression immediately became serious and he said in a solemn voice: "Shuo Shu?"

"Tuanzi, are you talking about there being intelligence agents of the Governor's Department lurking in the city?"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "This is possible.".

"After all, after we annihilated the rest of the Bantian Regiment, we did not choose to electrify the enemy openly and publicize the result. But at this time, we received a telegram of commendation for electrification from the superior department. The superior officer department knew what was going on here. Moreover, it was confirmed that it was us.

Only those who did it in the 303rd Group will choose to be rewarded with power.”

After a pause, Xu Rui continued to speak solemnly to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "So, there may be intelligence agents from the Chief's Department lurking in Heyuan County in the city. This is a high probability."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible for Yan Laoxi to see the situation in Heyuan County in the night sky?"

Luo Youdu shook his head. The last sentence was of course Xu Rui's joke.

"Group seat."

Luo Youdu thought for a while and said: "If there are intelligence agents lurking in the city under the superior department, it will not be easy for us to find them at night."

"Especially now, it's not easy."

Xu Rui nodded, and then asked Gu Jiaping, who was in charge of communications: "Has the Communications Department intercepted the fact that in addition to our radio station sending reports, there are other radio stations secretly appearing in the city?".

"Yes! Group seats!"

The answer given by Gu Jiaping surprised Xu Rui and said: "There were only two radio signals in the city, and the intervals were during and after the fierce battle."

"Moreover, the other party is sending reports very quickly. The radio signals we intercepted cannot be deciphered quickly at all. They are veteran intelligence experts who are good at sending reports."

Hearing this, Xu Rui suddenly became alert.

"Damn it, is it really Yan Laoxi who has intelligence agents from the Chief's Department secretly operating in this city?"

Xu Rui didn't expect that this possibility really existed as he said before.

So, Xu Rui asked Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer: "Can you find it?"

"Tuanzuo, we can intercept the radio waves emitted by the radio stations that appear in the city, but the time is too short. Moreover, we do not have the detection equipment to lock on the lurking enemy radio stations."

Gu Jiaping spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice! Let's sit together."

"Hey, I get it."

Xu Rui also felt helpless. Gu Jiaping was right.

It would be great if when the weapon lottery system is turned on, the novice gift package given to him is a device to detect the location of the radio station.

It's a pity that the system's newbie gift package at that time was ten heavy machine guns.

However, who would have thought that such a situation would arise at this time and that detection equipment would be needed.

Putting aside this helplessness, Xu Rui said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Chief of Staff, it seems that there may really be intelligence agents from the Chief's Department lurking here in the city.".

"It's just that we can't find it now."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu gave a suggestion and said: "If you have time, maybe you can get a set of equipment to detect the location of the radio station.".

"It's just that I'm afraid it will take time. After all, things that can detect radio equipment are not strictly controlled by the Japs, but only available in places such as the Chief's Department."

Xu Rui nodded, and Luo Youdu did not say anything about asking the commander to give them a device for detecting the location of the radio station for the 303rd Regiment, because he knew it would be impossible.

"Chief of Staff, let's not worry about finding out whether there may be radio stations and intelligence agents hidden in the city by the Chief of Staff. Let's first take a look at Yan Laoxi's telegraph commendation sent in the name of the Chief of Staff, as well as the order of the Chief of Staff.

What do you propose?"

Xu Rui pointed to the telegram of electrification and commendation that Luo Youdu placed on the table after reading it, and said.

"Forehead!!!"

Luo Youdu was speechless for a moment, but after thinking about it quickly, he smiled and said: "Regiment leader, didn't you just say that it is impossible for Commander Yan to give such an order, and the command of our 303 regiment will really be handed over to Yan Laoxi.

”.

"Wouldn't that restrict our 303rd regiment?"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "That's right!".

"Yan Laoxi wants to take over the command of our 303rd Regiment through power-on awards, as well as repaying the military pay, food, grass and ammunition that were owed to our 303rd Regiment before. That is a dream."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued to say contemptuously: "I will not recognize Yan Laoxi's commanding ability."

"In the Battle of Xinkou, this guy didn't even send troops to defend his flanks. Even a man who is an armchair strategist understands that during a war, troops must be sent to defend his front and flanks."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "That's what Tuan Zuo said."
