The war room immediately fell silent.

It is already past five o'clock in the evening, and it will be less than 12 hours until dawn tomorrow.

In other words, the 386th Brigade only had less than one night to digest the results of the war, and this amount of time was undoubtedly far from enough.

Not to mention anything else, it is too late to transfer materials.

Normally, it takes at least three days to digest the results.

Having said that, if it was just a 9th brigade, the problem would not be big.

With the current combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade, I may not be afraid of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese.

But the problem is that in addition to the 9th Brigade, the Japanese also had the 3rd Brigade, the 41st Division, and even the Japanese who came to assist from Datong, Zhengding and Baoding!

At that moment, General Peng said: "Where is the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said: "Military soldiers from all departments and 3rd Divisions under the 212th Brigade are fighting to the death to block the Japanese 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division."

"But, there are not many troops that can gather in a hurry."

"The militia in the third division was poor in training and equipment, so there were great casualties."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division will arrive in Taiyuan before noon tomorrow."

"There are also Japanese troops who are coming from Datong, Zhengding and Baoding to revive, and they will probably arrive in Taiyuan before tomorrow evening."

Commander Liu said in a deep voice: "Okamura Yasuji actually mobilized so many troops to rescue Taiyuan. It seems that he was really hurt by us this time."

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said: "But this way, the situation of the 386th Brigade is very dangerous."

"Yes." Commander Liu said worriedly, "Looking at the aggressive posture of the Japanese army, it is obvious that they want to swallow the 386th Brigade in one bite!

"I'm not afraid of this." President Peng said, "As big Shanxi, are you afraid that there is no place to go? Shanxi Province is not big enough, so the 386th Brigade can jump out of Shanxi and go to Hebei."

President Peng waved his hand and said, "It's just that time is too tight!"

"What's enough for just such a little time? It's too late to transfer materials!"

"Can we think of another way to buy some time for the 386th Brigade?"

"Boss, you have used all the methods you can use." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo shook his head and said, "In order to avoid the Japanese sweeping, our troops in Taiyue Military Region have already been broken into pieces."

"It is not easy to gather so many troops in such a short time."

"Now the gathering troops have basically been completely exhausted and cannot be stopped."

"There are brother troops from other base areas, and they have basically just experienced a wave of Japanese sweeps. It is not easy to drag Japanese in all directions until now."

Commander Liu shook his head and said with regret: "Then there is nothing else. You can only let the 386th Brigade evacuate as soon as possible. As for the materials and equipment in Taiyuan City, you can take away all the materials and equipment that can be taken away."

"As for those who cannot be taken away, they can only be destroyed on the spot."

"As for the food, let's share it with the people."

Mr. Peng nodded and said, "Just call back to the 386th Brigade."

"Yes." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo agreed and turned around and left with great worries.

...

Chu Yunfei was also worried at this time.

Although he failed to win the first merit in the Battle of Taiyuan, he was still very happy to be able to break the Houzaimen with the assistance of the Independent Regiment and seize the military supplies warehouse of the Japanese army in Shanxi.

No matter what, the 358th group did not come in vain.

Not only did I sell the Eighth Route Army but I could still afford it.

More importantly, after this battle, Chu Yunfei officially entered Chairman Jiang's vision.

In order to commend their 358th Regiment's achievements in the battle to restore Taiyuan, the Ministry of Military Affairs just awarded him a third-class treasure tripod medal and a fiat currency of 50,000 yuan.

The other school officials and lieutenants also have rewards.

Therefore, this trip to Taiyuan was a lot of rewards.

But because of the harvest, I now have the worries of happiness.

Chu Yunfei didn’t know what to do with the military supplies seized from this large warehouse?

If there was enough time and sufficient transportation capacity, Chu Yunfei would of course transport all these materials back to Luliang Mountain without hesitation, leaving even a grain of millet for the Japanese.

But the problem is that they don't have time at all.

And there is no such much transportation capacity at all.

Looking at the mountains of cloth, cotton yarn and grain piled up in the warehouse, Chu Yunfei sighed.

"It's all burned." Chu Yunfei said sadly, "It's all burned, and no grain of millet is allowed to be left."

"All burned?" Fang Ligong frowned, "Tongzhang, there are at least 70,000 tonnes of grain here. The winter grain that the pseudo-government just collected last year is probably all here."

"If it is transported back to western Jin, it will be enough for the entire Jinsui army to eat for three years!"

"It's a pity that so much food has been burned all over in one fire!"

"What else can I do if I don't burn it? Leave them behind and give them to the Japanese?"

Fang Ligong immediately fell silent. Yes, I can't give it back to the Japanese, right?

The 1st Battalion Commander Qian Bojun said, "The regiment is not enough, our 358th regiment is not enough, but aren't there still hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Taiyuan City? It's not a problem to recruit 30,000 to 50,000 people, right?"

"With 30,000 to 50,000 people, even if you cannot transport these materials back."

"But at least you can carry some of it back, it's better than burning it all."

"This is probably impossible." Fang Ligong sighed, "Didn't Battalion Commander Qian feel that when we fight back this time, the people of Taiyuan are no longer as good as before?"

"So let alone 30,000 or 50,000, I'm afraid even 30,000 people will not be able to recruit them."

"They can't help it." Qian Bojun snorted, "This is for the country. Whoever dares to refuse to obey will be shot directly!"

"Fart!" Chu Yunfei said furiously, "What's the difference between doing this and the Japanese? Our Jinsui Army protects the people of Taiyuan, not to harm them!"

Qian Bojun stopped saying awkwardly.

But it can be seen that Qian Bojun was dissatisfied.

"No need to mention the matter of forcing the people to recruit people!" Chu Yunfei groaned and said to the other party, "Brother Ligong, pass on my order, no one is allowed to harass the people of Taiyuan!"

After saying that, he glared at Qian Bojun coldly and said, "Those who violate the orders should be killed without any slightest!"

"Yes!" Fang Ligong agreed and turned around and arranged for the communicator to convey orders to the battalions and companies.

After Fang Ligong had finished making arrangements, Chu Yunfei pulled his military uniform and said, "Brother Ligong, come with me to the Drum Tower to see if there are any extra trucks in the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes," said Fang Ligong, "The Eighth Route Army seized a lot of heavy trucks. They have sufficient transportation capacity, maybe they can borrow some of them."

"No matter whether there is or not, I have to ask." After Chu Yunfei said that, he pulled his military uniform and turned around and walked out of the regiment headquarters.
