When the first division retreated, it may be said that it was a defeat. The blocking troops arranged by Zhang Huairen did not obey the orders at all and ran faster than the vanguard.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not pursue it, and the First Division was able to escape successfully.

After Zhang Huaifeng learned about it, he immediately called Zhang Huairen and asked, "Didn't you attack Niutou Town? Have you been ambushed?"

Zhang Huairen said with lingering fear: "On the way back, I encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Fortunately, both sides were about to retreat at the touch, and we had no casualties."

If he fights with the Eighth Route Army local troops, his first division will have no problem, and Zhang Huairen will rush to the front line. If he encounters the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the First Division may be gone. Zhang Huairen still has this self-knowledge.

Zhang Huaifeng asked: "What's going on in Niutou Town? Why did he come back without a shot?"

Zhang Huairen said angrily: "It's gone long ago, and I can't even see a mouse. The Communist Party is trying to strengthen the walls and clear the country, and the people regard us as bandits."

Zhang Huaifeng murmured: "How could the Eighth Route Army be prepared?"

It takes time to firm the walls and clear the fields, at least half a day. Even if the Eighth Route Army noticed the actions of the First Division, they had to figure out the intentions of the First Division and then arrange the firmly blocks and clear the fields in Niutou Town, at least more than one day.

The total time it took for the first division to go to Niutou Town was not yet a day.

In other words, the Eighth Route Army in Niutou Town knew the intention of the First Division in advance.

Zhang Huairen also realized it at this time and asked, "Does the eldest brother feel that the news has been leaked?"

Zhang Huaifeng nodded and said in a deep voice: "This is for sure. I am worried that the Japanese will suspect that we are acting with the Eighth Route Army."

Zhang Huairen said in surprise: "How is this possible?"

If he acted, he would definitely know. Besides, the First Division also had a fight with the Eighth Route Army. If he acted, he would have escaped so miserably?

Zhang Huaifeng suddenly said: "We have nothing to do this time. What do you think the Japanese will think? In this way, you will gather the troops immediately, including the small dock."

Zhang Huairen said in surprise: "Now?"

Zhang Huaifeng said in a deep voice: "Yes, right now!"

Zhang Huairen smiled bitterly and said, "The troops have not yet been built."

Zhang Huaifeng asked: "How many troops can we master now?"

Zhang Huairen said: "Not one battalion, my guards only come back for one squad."

Zhang Huaifeng said angrily: "How did you become a teacher?"

Zhang Huairen said disapprovingly: "We will come back one after another tomorrow. The sheep that were released will come back to find food."

It is natural to carry a gun and eat food. His troops are not trained enough. If they are not fighting a battle with the wind, it is normal for them to not be able to contact each other for a while. After two days, all the troops will be built, at most ten days and a half months, and many of them can come back.

Zhang Huaifeng sternly said: "Tomorrow? Not even a minute later!"

Zhang Huaifeng said in a deep voice: "Then let's go all the troops. The Eighth Route Army at the small wharf is a miscellaneous unit, with at most one squadron and one battalion of troops should be enough."

Zhang Huairen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, how can we command the temporary teams of various troops? The troops of a battalion cannot exert the combat effectiveness of a battalion, so maybe..."

In front of Zhang Huaifeng, naturally he cannot tell lies.

Zhang Huaifeng said helplessly: "Okay, let the Second Division go."

Zhang Huairen sighed: "It's cheap Zhou Cigong."

Zhang Huaifeng cursed: "Who made you not be successful?"

The First Division is his elite unit, but it has not been used in the hands of Zhang Huairen. The current First Division is still the best equipment, but its combat effectiveness may not be the strongest.

Zhang Huairen asked: "How do you report to the above?"

Zhang Huaifeng asked casually: "How do you want to report?"

Zhang Huairen said with serenely: "Although he was defeated in Niutou Town, it is true that the First Division occupied Niutou Town. Even if he retreated later, it is true that the occupation of Niutou Town. As for the encounter with the Eighth Route Army, the First Division was almost dispersed, which shows that the battle was very fierce. The First Division won the victory and the Eighth Route Army fled in panic."

He had long been familiar with this kind of thing. When they were the Third Security Division, they were behind enemy lines. Every time they fought with the Eighth Route Army, they would not "return with great victory"? Even if they were beaten to the ground, they would definitely eliminate a large amount of live power of the Eighth Route Army.

If all the Eighth Route Army that the Third Security Division "eliminated" in recent years were added together, it is estimated that the Eighth Army would have been eliminated several times.

Zhang Huaifeng shook his head gently: "The Japanese are not that easy to fool."

Zhang Huairen said: "We are just saying the facts. Of course, there is no statistics on the losses of the Eighth Route Army, but it is definitely not light."

Zhang Huaifeng said: "You write a report first, I'll inform Zhou Cigong."

After Zhou Cigong received the order, he immediately held a combat meeting. But before the meeting, he sent a telegram to Jiang Risheng to inform him of the matter.

Jiang Risheng then sent Zhou Cigong to take Chitto Zhuangji with him and verify with his own eyes that the Second Division had swept the Eighth Route Army's base for the Eighth Route Army in the small wharf.

The situation of the First Division, Akato Suji has reported it. As Jiang Risheng expected, the Japanese were very dissatisfied with the performance of the First Division.

The defeat in Niutou Town shows that the First Division was slow to move, which allowed the Eighth Route Army to evacuate smoothly. Later, the encounter with the main force of the Eighth Route Army almost fled, which disappointed the Japanese.

Jiang Risheng reminded that this may be a scene between Zhang Huaifeng and the Eighth Route Army Exercise.

Wushan Yingyi made different opinions at that time, and Jiang Risheng made a suggestion to see if the first division and the main force of the Eighth Route Army encountered a real or fake attack.

If it is a real fight, the first division will inevitably suffer losses. If it is a fake fight, Jiang Risheng also believes that it is a fake fight. At most, it is pretending and there will be no casualties in the first division.

In the past, I was afraid that the First Division would conceal or falsely report it. There were Japanese advisory groups and invaded spies, and the situation of the First Division would be reported soon.

Wu Shan Yingyi handed Jiang Risheng a piece of paper and said with a sneer: "Jiang Sang, the report from the First Division is here."

Zhang Huairen's first division returned in vain and encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army halfway and was about to collapse. However, in the report, the first division reported this as a military success.

Are all Japanese deaf and blind?

After reading it, Jiang Risheng said, "As expected, Zhou Cigong sent a telegram, and Zhang Huaifeng asked him to lead the Second Division to surround the small wharf, which was also the base of the Eighth Route Army. I think Zhou Cigong would still be lost."

Wushan Yingichi sneered: "Is it necessary to act like this?"

Wu Shan Yingyi said: "Zhang Huaifeng needs us to believe that he really surrenders. After we lower our vigilance, he will let go of cooperation with the national army, or directly turn the gun and attack the imperial army."

Wu Shanying shook his head: "When he was in the Third Security Division, he did not dare to attack the Imperial Army."

Jiang Risheng said: "At that time, the Imperial Army was strong, so of course he did not dare to have any bad ideas."
