In the Japanese army, subordinate officers have always had the tradition of being offended. These bold subordinate soldiers use the excuse of loyalty to the emperor as a gambler's mentality. They often make some amazing actions against the will of their superiors. Sakamoto seems to be such self-righteous guys.

However, Sasaki was still very sober. He said to everyone: "You guys, I suggest that this attack will be dominated by Sakamoto Squadron, Matsui's guard team assist, and the Imperial Army will send two more companies of troops to cooperate, and Sakamoto is the commander-in-chief of the attack. As for the specific time of the dispatch of troops, it should be determined by Sakamoto."

Hearing that Sasaki made the decision so quickly, Kondo said anxiously: "The head of the agency, the Sakamoto Squadron and Matsui Police Force stationed in Mizushi were all sent out. Our army's troops will be extremely empty. Who should manage the security of Mizushi? Who should be responsible for the security of the First Army?"

Sasaki said: "The guard team is gone, my military police and detective team can temporarily take on the responsibility of maintaining public order. As for the First Army, Kondo, can't you control them yet?"

Now Kondo is the only one who opposes sending troops immediately. Seeing that he can no longer stop this impulsive behavior, Kondo sighed and stopped talking.

The big decision has been decided, and the remaining small details will naturally be arranged by commander Sakamoto. So Sasaki announced the end of the meeting and everyone walked out of the conference room.

Kondo returned to the First Army in a depressed mood. Kondo was very angry, but in order to succeed in the attack, he had to transfer two companies of troops to cooperate with Sakamoto. When he thought of this, Kondo was very angry.

Even though he was angry, Sasaki's order still had to be executed. Kondo immediately sent someone to call Liang Dagong.

When Liang Dagong came, Kondo asked Liang Dagong to prepare two companies immediately. These two companies were on standby at any time. The task was to cooperate with Sakamoto to attack the Chinese army in Sangyu Town. Of course, the First Army must also send a team dedicated to managing military supplies. The task of this team was decided last time, which was specifically responsible for registering and collecting the "requisitioned" materials.

Seeing that the devil was about to send troops, Liang Dagong took it for granted that Kondo must have agreed to send troops this time, so he naturally flattered: "Taijun is indeed wise. In this siege, the imperial army will definitely win..."

But this time he was really wrong. Kondo opposed sending troops this time. Hearing Liang Dagong say "the flag is winning", Kondo was angry and slapped him. He slapped him in the face and cursed: "That idiot Hagasakamoto wants to take advantage of the situation. Are you also a pig's brain?"

Liang Dagong wanted to flatter, but he suddenly slapped the horse's hooves. He covered his face with his hands and arched his waist and left Kondo's office.

When he returned home at noon, Liang Dagong thought that he was slapped by the Japanese for no reason today. He sat at home and cursed: "Damn little Japanese, a stupid pig-like little short, I'll come and beat me if I get angry outside. I think you will be shot when you go out this time, and there will be bombs in the aisle. The slam is not a slap in the face. You bastards will have to roll back in shame in the end."

Liang Dagong's concubine knew that he was angry today, so she persuaded him: "Don't be too angry. We are just making a living by doing things under the Japanese. As long as we live well, you care whether they are alive or alive. These Japanese dwarfs deserve to die."

Liang Dagong said fiercely: "Don't force me to be impatient. If I force me to be impatient, let's learn from Huang Yunzon..."

The concubine was shocked and hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "This is not the time yet. You can't say something randomly."

When Liang Dagong calmed down, the concubine asked him: "Will my brother go again this time?"

Liang Dagong nodded and said, "Go, of course I have to go. But don't worry, the Japanese have a squadron and a guard team this time, and the Imperial Army has two companies. Your brother is absolutely safe."

"How good it's at home in this cold weather. What kind of war do you have to fight? When will they set off? I have to prepare some clothes for my brother to protect the cold." The concubine was still very concerned about his brother, so she asked Liang Dagong.

Liang Dagong shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific date. The Japanese are so anxious. I think it's probably in these few days."

Liang Dagong left, and Tang Yun came in. He came not because of anything else, but because he brought snacks to Liang Dagong's concubine.

Women like to eat snacks. Pregnant women are particularly scheming and are very good at eating snacks. Now it is cold and Liang Dagong's concubine is getting heavier, making it even more inconvenient to go out, so Tang Yun took on the task of buying snacks for her.

Liang Dagong's concubine collected the snacks sent by Tang Yun, and then asked Tang Yun to buy him a leather coat. Tang Yun said strangely: "Didn't Commander Liang already have a leather coat? Why do you have to buy one?"

The concubine said, "This time I didn't buy it for him, but for my brother. My brother has never suffered much since he was a child. This time I went to the army to fight. If I wear thin clothes, I'm afraid he will get cold and get sick."

The puppet army was about to go to Sangyu Town again? Tang Yun felt aroused his heart and began to talk.

Because Tang Yun is a young man from Asia Trading Company, Liang Dagong's family often comes and goes. Liang Dagong's concubine is now very familiar with Tang Yun, so she does not hide anything from Tang Yun. When Tang Yun asked casually, Liang Dagong's concubine explained what she knew about the recent siege.

After getting the accurate news, Tang Yun immediately returned to Wantong Trading on the grounds that he needed to buy leather coats. When he returned to Wantong Trading, Tang Yun immediately reported the news that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to send troops to Yan Boling. Unlike the last time, Tang Yun basically figured out the time when the enemy sent troops this time and found out the exact enemy's strength.

Tang Yun went to buy a leather coat. Yan Boling once again summoned the military command personnel to start checking the situation reported by Tang Yun. After multiple verifications, Yan Boling finally confirmed that the news that Tang Yun obtained was true and that the Japanese and puppets will have a major action in the past few days.

Yan Boling wrote two more notes like last time, then put two carrier pigeons to send the information back to the third brigade.

The enemy had so many troops this time, and Li Qinglin didn't dare to be careless after receiving the information. He immediately summoned Han Jizhong and all the squadron leaders to hold a military meeting in Qinghe.

Regarding the Japanese and puppet forces this time, Li Qinglin and the others still believed that they would adopt the tactic of attacking along the route and detouring the other route. Therefore, the tactics of restraining the frontal people and eliminating the detoured enemy last time remained unchanged. However, given the significant increase in the enemy's troops this time, Li Qinglin and the others made major adjustments to the last time's trooping force.

The main targets of the adjustment are the Seventh Squadron and the Eighth Squadron. In addition to leaving the necessary personnel, other personnel of these two squadrons immediately entered Qinghe to provide reinforcements or attack at any time.

This time the Japanese had a squadron and a security team, with a number of about 230 people. The puppet army sent two companies. According to the strengthening of the company's strength, the puppet army had a total of more than 300 people, and the Japanese and puppet troops had a total of nearly 600 people, which is a big number.

The third brigade currently has only about a thousand people, among which some troops must be left in Niuwangzhai, Xiashangu and Motianling, and then non-combatants such as kitchen squads and baggage squads were removed. Therefore, the third brigade can only draw about 700 people to the battlefield, and such troops are not advantageous compared with the opponent. Considering the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, Li Qinglin now clearly feels that the troops in his hands are not enough.

In this case, Han Jizhong proposed a solution, which was to supplement the militia. The specific method was to let some militia help defend Xiashangu, Niuwangzhai and Motianling. All the officers and soldiers of the third brigade could be drawn out; in order to allow the main force to concentrate on fighting, Han Jizhong also suggested that some militias join the front-line troops, and these militias were responsible for leading the way, alerting, transporting ammunition, and rescuing wounded soldiers, so that the third brigade could liberate some of the troops.

After such a long period of training, there were more than 40 militia groups in the defense zone of the three brigades, with nearly 800 troops, of which there were 400 troops trained by the three brigades and owned guns. In view of the current situation of the militia, Han Jizhong proposed to further integrate the power of the militia.

The specific approach is to use the existing militia as the basis, each village militia will set up a squadron, and ten squadrons will form a squadron, and all squadrons will gather together to form a militia team. This militia team must be strictly controlled by the third brigade. They are still responsible for local public security and other affairs in normal times, and will cooperate with the third brigade to fight during wartime.

The method proposed by Han Jizhong was very praised by Li Qinglin. Li Qinglin believed that if the militia was really built like this, it would be similar to the guerrillas on the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, he made the decision on the spot and immediately agreed to Han Jizhong's plan to reorganize the militia.

As the enemy is facing, the military meeting must be held briefly. When everything is settled, the squadron leaders of each squadron hurried back to prepare for the war, and Han Jizhong immediately began to reorganize the militia.

The first thing to do is to determine a leader when reorganizing the militia, Li Qinglin first thought of Wang Leshan from Chenjiazhai. On the night when the bandits from Motianling attacked Chenjiazhai, Li Qinglin had already seen that Wang Leshan had certain organizational talents and military command capabilities. The leader of this newly established militia was really his.

The leader has decided, and the name of the militia has become another problem. As the saying goes, "The name is not right and the words are not right." In the past, everyone generally called these civilian armed forces militia. Now that an armed force has been integrated, it is necessary to take a loud name, because having a loud name also has the effect of boosting morale.

After everyone's efforts, the newly established armed forces were finally named "Wan'an County People's Anti-Japanese Security Group". The newly established brigade was called "First Brigade of Wan'an County People's Anti-Japanese Security Group". The captain of the first brigade was Wang Leshan...
