"We have too few troops in our hands, and the distance between Rehe River is far. Even if we mobilize our troops now, it will take at least one week..."

"Well, the Japanese army has done their best this time, planned carefully and acted quickly, and has indeed taken a lot of initiatives. They caught us off guard!" Lu Shan nodded.

"How can I reply to Tie Meng?" Ying Ruoyu asked.

"Let me think about it, think about it!" Lu Shan's brows frowned, and this incident really made him feel very embarrassed!

Although Chifeng now has six or seven thousand troops, most of them are newly affiliated by Cui and Shi Second Brigade. Not to mention whether these people are sincerely joining Dong Kang, their combat effectiveness is a considerable question.

Tie Meng could not understand this truth. Why did he not mention this in the telegram? Instead, he asked if he wanted to take over the defense zone of the 22nd Brigade of the Northeast Army.

Could it be that this kid's idea to attack the 22nd Brigade of the Northeast Army?

This kid is too brave. Isn’t this sincerely giving Tang Yulin and the Northeast Army a "excuse"?

Suddenly, Lu Shan couldn't help but smile. Is he getting older and less courageous, and he has been in a high position for a long time and has become more and more cautious in his actions!

It is good to be cautious, but if one person has too many concerns, it will be a little timid. If the 22nd Brigade of the Northeast Army really wants to withdraw from the enclosure, it would be fine if it is to support Lingyuan or Pingquan. If it is not, it would be to escape.

Without receiving the order from the superior, he withdrew from the position without authorization. This is a deserter. As long as the general who leads the troops is caught, there will be only one ending, and the Dharma will be rectified on the spot!

Is this Tie Meng’s idea or Geng Jizhou?

With Lu Shan’s understanding of Tie Meng, although Tie Meng is bold and meticulous, he has always been steady in doing things and does not have such an outrageous approach!

As for Geng Jizhou, he didn't know much, but he had served as a soldier under Tang Yulin, and there was always a bit of incense.

I won’t guess, no matter who came up with the idea, this idea is still very bold. The Northeast Army’s brigades are all first-level division-level units, but the 22nd Brigade also has a large number of troops. It has a total of 7,000 people, which is comparable to an ordinary division!

If the 22nd Brigade can be taken down, the strength of the Rehe Column will inevitably rise to a higher level, and the confidence in guarding Chifeng will definitely be much greater.

As the saying goes, a soldier will lead a bellowing place, and what kind of general will lead the soldiers.

The commander of the 22nd Brigade Fuchun, from Heilongjiang, has read his resume. This guy is really extraordinary and has a lot of "skills".

But his ability is not in his command and fighting. But his ability to get his wife, the generals of Rehe Army, belong to him the most wives and concubines, and two regiments under his command, one is Meng Shangpei, the man from Chengde, and the other is his nephew, Tai Yunlin, all of whom are mediocre and incompetent!

Of course, it is not an easy task to eat this 22nd Brigade, but it is a friendly army. What kind of chain effect will it bring behind it?

Lu Shan is not afraid of being in a bad relationship with Tang Yulin. After this battle, it is still a question whether Tang Yulin can stay in Rehe.

But if he gets into evil with the Northeast Army, it will not be much beneficial to the East Confrontation at present. Even if he knows that Zhang Hanqing will step down soon, go to Shanghai to treat his illness, and finally go to Europe for investigation, the Northeast Army, as a military force, will still exist in the next few years.

At least they still need to continue to deal with each other, which will also cause trouble to the old fox's situation in the Northeast Army.

The relationship is in a stalemate, and it will also affect the contact channels between the Dongkang and the pass. Unless the Dongkang can take over Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places, you will not have to worry about the attitude of the Northeast Army!

This is an indisputable fact that the Northeast Army is going downhill. Chiang Kai-shek is even more worried about the Northeast Army. Dismembering and dividing the Northeast Army is Chiang Kai-shek's consistent policy!

Instead of letting Chiang Kai-shek take advantage, why not let Cheng Quan resist?

With the current strength of the Eastern Anti-Japanese War, it is a bit difficult to penetrate North China, but it is better to make good friends with the generals of the Northeast Army, and there are tens of thousands of Northeast Army troops who came out of seclusion to assist Rehe this time!

If it can be annexed and taken for its own use, then the strength of Dong Kang will inevitably reach a higher level.

The finances of Dongkang have been alleviated to a certain extent. After the annexation, it should be affordable to remove the decay and preserve the essence. Moreover, if you can occupy more territory, you will have at least some benefits.

I was afraid that General Zhang, who did this, would vomit blood in Peking, and Mr. Jiang was also wary of him!

No matter what, it has to be faced anyway. Zhang Hanqing is still good at heart, but he is a little naive. On the surface, Chiang Kai-shek can tolerate his big belly and has a little leader temperament, but he is very cautious in his heart.

I think that those who are born in a wild way may not be favored. He never thought of being favored by him. He knew history and would not praise Jiang's stinky feet. He would not leave the bright road without leaving. That is something that a fool can do!

"Guanglang, you are a Guanglanglang. I was cheated by you. If Mr. Lu saw that I was giving him a trick, he would have to deal with me!" Tie Meng sighed to Zhou Xuyang.

"I said wolf head, don't, when I told you, you were also moved?" Zhou Xuyang said with a thunderous smile.

"Do you know, this is called private annexation of friendly troops. When this matter is spread, our reputation for the East Anti-Japanese War will become bad. In the future, friendly troops will hide when they see us!" Tie Meng said with a glaring look.

"So what? That boy Fuchun wants to be a deserter. Wouldn't he give us a chance?" Zhou Xuyang said.

"Do you have evidence?" Tie Meng glared.

"There is no evidence, but their soldiers are packing their luggage and shipping supplies. What is it for not to escape?" Zhou Xuyang said, "If they want to reinforce the front line and leave a small army to guard the house, why do you need to pack up the guys?"

"What you said makes sense, but if we really want to join the 22nd Brigade, would that person be willing to stay with us to fight the Japanese?" Tie Meng hesitated.

"Don't worry about it all the time. Those who are willing to stay will naturally stay. If you don't want to, you will force him with a gun, and he will not. At that time, you can..."

"You kid is really bad. Can you think of such a trick?" Tie Meng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"This is all Mr. Lu and Wolf Head, you are well taught!" Zhou Xuyang smiled.

"By the way. The war is coming soon. That girl Xiaoying is not bad. Are you going to get married on the spot? At least one man and half a woman are left behind..." Tie Meng suddenly turned his eyes and said with a smile.

"Don't, wolf head, you're trying to harm me!" Zhou Xuyang jumped up from the stool in shock, shook his hand repeatedly, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.

"Why, you don't like that girl Gu Xiaoying. Do you like Shen Manyun or Qiu Hongmei?" Tie Meng thought and pretended.

"Wolf Head, is Sister Manyun your favorite?"

"I didn't say it, you said it!" Tie Meng retorted immediately.

"Wolf Head, you are so inhumane!"

"You said you called me wolf head, I am a wolf, how did you get humanity?" Tie Meng laughed.

"The commander laughed so happily. Is there any happy event?" Geng Jizhou walked in.

"Nothing good news, Deputy Chief of Staff Geng, you are here. Commander, you have something to do and talk slowly. I'll go out first!" After Zhou Xuyang said that, Saya ran away.

"Is this the team Zhou?"

"I fell in love with a girl, I have a thin skin!" Tie Meng smiled. Before Zhou Xuyang could walk far away, he staggered and almost fell to the ground after hearing this.

"Battle of Zhou has a favorite partner. This is a good thing. Who is it?" Geng Jizhou asked in a very gossip.

"Gu Xiaoying, the temporary captain of the women's team!" Tie Meng said.

"That powerful Gu Xiaoying?" Geng Jizhou's expression immediately became strange. What kind of man should marry a wife? This is true. A tough woman like Gu Xiaoying is afraid that a man like Zhou Xuyang will be able to subdue him in the future.

"How is the reorganization work?" Tie Meng asked seriously, occasionally saying gossip, just to ease the tension, their main task was to prepare for the war.

"Cui Xingwu is very cooperative. Our reorganization work is still going well. There are many casualties in the Shi Brigade. The soldiers and officers are still in doubt. It takes time!"

"I also know the time, but the Japanese don't have much time left. At the latest, the Japanese will attack Chifeng in large numbers the morning after tomorrow!" Tie Meng said.

"Aren't they attacking Ling Yuan?" Geng Jizhou said in surprise.

"The headquarters judges that Chifeng may be the primary target of the Japanese attack. Only by taking Chifeng and occupying Chengde can we gain a foothold!" Tie Meng said.

"The morning after tomorrow, I'll hurry up!" Geng Jizhou suddenly stood up and was about to walk out.

"Wait, Lao Geng, ask you something?" Tie Meng stopped Geng Jizhou and said.

"What's the matter?" Geng Jizhou asked strangely.

"How much do you know about Fuchun, the brigade commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Northeast Army?" Tie Meng asked.

"I don't know much, why did the commander suddenly ask him?" Geng Jizhou asked strangely.

"It's okay, I just want to know something!" Tie Meng smiled.

"I know he is an old general in Heilongjiang, and later surrendered to the Tang tribe. Among the Tang tribe, he is not the most lustful person, but he does have the most wives and concubines, and there are more than thirty families!" Geng Jizhou said.

"So many, isn't this guy afraid of flashing his old waist?"

"Why do they have a secret recipe?" Geng Jizhou said with a chuckling.

"Maybe!"

"The commander, what else do you have to ask?" Geng Jizhou asked.

"It's nothing, Lao Geng, go and do it!" Tie Meng waved.

"Staff Officer Yao!"

"arrive!"

"Is there a telegram from Mr. Lu, the headquarters?" Tie Meng kept tapping the table with his fingers. Anyone who knew him knew that this was a sign of his nervousness and anxiety.

"not yet!"

"Well, I got it, you go!" Tie Meng nodded.

Five minutes...ten minutes...one quarter of an hour...

Half an hour passed, but there was still no telegram. Tie Meng couldn't sit still, stood up and paced back and forth in the command center!

Staff Yao ran in quickly.

"Telecom from the headquarters?"

"No, Deputy Commander Zhang has arrived in Kailu. This is the Kailu war report!" Staff Yao handed Tie Meng a stack of telegrams.

"Oh, let's see!" Tie Meng reached out to take the telegram and started reading.

"So many casualties?" Tie Meng's face changed rapidly when he saw the content of the telegram.

"Commander, is Deputy Commander Zhang waiting to call back?" Seeing Tie Meng standing there motionlessly holding the telegram in his hand, he couldn't help but open his mouth to remind him.

"Call back, oh, call back, so let me think about it first, you can come back in ten minutes." Tie Meng waved his hand.

"yes!"
