Chapter 87 Zhao Gang arrives!

"That's okay!"

Xu Rui said to An Xin at this time: "According to what the chief of staff just said, when enough soldiers are recruited, the missing soldiers will be made up for you from the latest batch of recruits."

"Yes, I understand."

An Xin stood at attention and saluted.

"good!!"

Xu Rui waved his hand, signaling An Xin to go down and get ready.

After An Xin went out, Xu Rui smiled at Chief of Staff Luo Youdu and said, "This matter is settled."

"Now, it depends on whether the little devil will give us time to recruit troops."

When Chief of Staff Luo Youdu heard this, his expression was startled, and then he said with sudden realization: "Master, are you afraid that the revenge of Taro Miyamoto will come quickly?".

"You have to guard against it!"

Xu Rui stood up, pointed with his right hand at the Xujia Town, Huting Stronghold, and Hanjia Town lines on the military map placed in front of him on the table, and said: "Although these places are more than 20 kilometers away from Heyuan County."

"But if we march urgently during the day, we can reach Heyuan County in two and a half hours. Of course, the Japs on this front only have the strength of an infantry brigade."

After a pause, he weakly picked up a military kettle on the table and took a sip of water. Then he continued to point to the map and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "The threat to us is not great."

"But I'm afraid that the old Japanese leader, Taro Miyamoto, of the Fourth Japanese Brigade, will get reinforcements and quickly send troops to deal with us. Then, we won't have much time to recruit troops."

Luo Youdu nodded when he heard this. This is a very likely variable.

However, Luo Youdu said: "Although there is this possibility, given the situation of the Japanese in northwestern Shanxi, if the Fourth Brigade wants to mobilize the remaining infantry regiment from Jinghai County and other places to go north with all its strength, it will reach the Huting stronghold.

It is simply unrealistic for a Japanese infantry brigade in Hanjia Town and other front lines to go north to attack us."

"Even if Danzai is right, Miyamoto Taro may be able to get the support of an old Japanese like Shinozuka Yoshinami with additional troops, but it will take time. Without a week of preparation time, it is impossible."

Xu Rui nodded, agreeing with Luo Youdu's analysis.

"But we cannot hope that the Japanese will not send troops to deal with us in advance like Sakata Nobori did before."

Although Xu Rui commanded the battle fiercely, Xu Rui also had a cautious character who did not worry about victory but first thought about defeat, so he said to Luo Youdu: "So, Chief of Staff, try your best to recruit more than 600 people within four or five days."

Recruit all the new recruits."

"Try to complete the recruitment of new recruits in advance."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu nodded and said, "I will specifically instruct the Logistics Director Liu Dehai to start the recruitment of that boy as soon as possible."

"I will also keep an eye on it, Tuanzuo, don't worry."

Xu Rui then smiled and said: "Then the next job of recruiting new soldiers will be watched by the Chief of Staff."

"Don't worry, Tuanzuo."

Luo Youdu smiled and said.

"Tuanzuo, there are no Japanese reinforcements coming from the southern cordon to fight back. It's almost four o'clock in the morning. Tuanzu, go and rest!"

Luo Youdu saw that Xu Rui was already sleepy, so he said: "I am on duty at the regiment headquarters. If there is an emergency, I will send someone to wake you up immediately."

"ha"

Hearing this, Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief at the right time, and immediately smiled at Luo Youdu and said, "Then the chief of staff will be on duty at the regiment headquarters."

"What's the trouble!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said with a smile: "Everyone in the group, go and have a rest!".

"Okay, if something happens, wake me up."

Xu Rui was not polite. After all, it was almost four o'clock in the morning. He was indeed sleepy, so he nodded and said.

Luo Youdu nodded, and then Xu Rui walked out of the regiment headquarters, returned to his own rest room, collapsed and fell into a dream.

Luo Youdu continued to be on duty in the regiment command room in Heyuan County.

At this time, in the command room of the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters.

Yan Laoxi and Major General Wen Ling, chief of staff of the General Staff Department, waited for Xu Rui's call back. They waited for more than ten minutes until after four o'clock in the morning. The 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army did not call back to the Second Theater Command Headquarters.

"Commander, I don't know if Xu Rui's command received a power-on commendation radio from the commander's command."

Wen Ling saw that Yan Laoxi's face was starting to smell bad, so she had to say: "Maybe the other party doesn't have a radio station."

"How can there be no radio station?"

Yan Laoxi said dissatisfied: "Do you believe it? Chief of Staff!".

"Well!!"

Hearing this, Wen Ling was speechless.

It's just that although a telegraph commendation was sent to the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army in the name of the Chief's Department, it's hard to say whether Xu Rui's Department will receive it!

"No more guessing."

Yan Laoxi thought for a while. Although he was dissatisfied, what Wen Ling said was possible. He waved directly to Li Songming, the staff officer of the Communications Department of the Chief Executive Department, and said: "Send a report to Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment, and ask him to send someone.

Heyuan County, convey the orders of the chief minister."

"Ask Xu Rui to use the radio to contact the superior department when the time comes!"

Major Li Songming, the communications staff officer of the Chief's Department, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, Commander." He immediately turned back to the communications office and ordered his communications soldiers to send a report to the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

"Commander, it's past four in the morning, go back and have a rest!"

Seeing this, Wen Ling said.

"Um!"

Already knowing that he would not get a call back from Xu Rui of the 303rd Regiment, Yan Laoxi had no interest in sitting in the command room of the commander's headquarters. He nodded directly, then got up and left.

"Li Songming!"

After Yan Laoxi walked out of the commander's headquarters command room and went back to sleep, Wen Ling told Major Li Songming, communications staff officer of the commander's headquarters: "After daybreak, if there is a callback message from the 358th regiment, please report it to me first."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Major Li Songming stood at attention.

Afterwards, Wen Ling also walked out of the commander's command room and returned to his hut to rest.

As for Li Songming, who was unlucky enough to be on duty, he could only continue to sit in the communications office on the side of the command room of the commander's headquarters and stay up until dawn.

At this time, there was news that Heyuan County was recaptured by the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and the Bantian Regiment was completely wiped out.

Although Xu Rui did not make any publicity through clear calls, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, who had been paying attention to the more than 500 horses that were cut off at the puppet cavalry camp in Wanjia Town, at about 4:20 in the morning,

Got it too.

Of course, this is because of the latent investigation of Heyuan County. Not only Chu Yunfei's intelligence personnel were in the city, but also scouts sent by Li Yunlong from the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. After learning about the situation in the city, they immediately rushed back to the current location of the New Regiment.

The regiment headquarters was stationed at Zhengjiapu and reported urgently to Li Yunlong.

"Damn it, it was the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army that attacked the Bantian Regiment, and Heyuan County was recaptured?"

Facing the scouts from the New Regiment who found an opportunity to sneak out of Heyuan County and return to the Zhengjiapu Regiment Headquarters to report the situation, Li Yunlong, the commander of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "You kid can't joke, can you?"

?”.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, before the scout standing in front of Li Yunlong reporting the situation could speak, a voice came from outside the Xinyi Tuantuan Department.

"who?"

When Li Yunlong heard this sound, he had never heard it in the Xinyi Regiment, and he immediately subconsciously took out the shell gun on his waist.

However, two people walked in outside the regiment department, both wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. One of them immediately looked at Li Yunlong. After his eyes met with Li Yunlong's, Li Yunlong also froze.

"Hello, Captain!"

One of them said, "I am Zhao Gang, who was sent by the brigade headquarters to take charge of the new regiment!"
