Ten battalions and three companies.

When they heard this number again, everyone opened their mouths.

Although the organization of each unit during the Anti-Japanese War is very different, many units within the Eighth Route Army are seriously overstaffed, and even a regiment can be expanded to a scale of three or four thousand people at this stage, but there is no such elite main force as the Tiger Guards that directly has ten battalions.

At least it does not exist yet.

"No wonder we rejected your suggestion to evacuate!"

At this time, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but say with emotion and admiration: "This guy has quietly mastered such a large-scale army! If we don't count the powerful Japanese aviation forces, he is indeed capable of competing with the Japanese divisions in terms of ground forces!"

"Commander!"

A general beside him said in a daze: "It's the Tiger Guards! Before this, I have never heard of any regiment that dared to fight against the Japanese divisions!"

"Yes!"

This statement was quickly agreed by everyone.

Regiment against division!

Is this simply a joke?

If it was before, everyone would have thought it was a fantasy.

But now, although everyone does not think that Lu Zhixian can defeat the other side, they can't help but feel full of emotion when they see the current configuration.

At least it can barely compete with the other side!

Of course, the premise is not to count the Japanese aviation forces.

"Commander!"

The chief of staff frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although Lu Zhixian's current actions are indeed extremely reckless, we can't just do nothing."

"How many troops do we still have near Heyuan County?"

"There are still two regiments."

"Only two regiments?"

The commander-in-chief's face froze slightly when he heard this.

"Yes."

The chief of staff nodded and said: "In order to open up the battlefield in northwest Shanxi, our main force has been drawn in batches. Now there are not many troops left in southwest Shanxi. Currently, only two regiments can participate in it, and most of their weapons and equipment are relatively incomplete!"

Everyone present also looked embarrassed.

In such a large-scale fierce battle, it is really difficult for two regiments to change any situation.

"Damn it!"

The commander-in-chief at this time also had a grim expression on his face. He said in a deep voice: "Although Lu Zhixian was indeed extremely reckless this time, the Tiger Guards are an anti-Japanese armed force after all. We, the Eighth Route Army, must not watch him being destroyed by the enemy. Pass on my order, order the unit to wait for an opportunity to support and give full help!"

"Alas - that's all we can do."

The chief of staff was helpless and regretful when he heard this.

However, the commander-in-chief at this time waved his hand and said seriously: "Although our strength in southwest Shanxi is weak, it is not impossible to counterattack in other places."

"What does the chief mean?"

"Let's start the raids against the devils on the main transportation routes in various parts of Shanxi Province!"

"Great!"

Everyone present was excited to hear this.

The chief of staff was also excited and said: "In this way, the only target of the Tiger Guards is the Japanese coalition this time, at least the Tiger Guards can be relieved of their worries. Moreover, the Tiger Guards have attracted the attention of the Japanese in the south, and we can also get an excellent attack environment when launching a large-scale raid!"

...

"Didn't retreat?"

Chu Yunfei, who was on the way to evacuate, was stunned.

Fang Ligong quickly replied: "Yes, Commander! I just got the latest news. The Tiger Guards led the entire regiment and some of the elite members of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to enter Heyuan County a few days ago, and now dozens of small-scale fierce battles have broken out at key transportation routes in various places. Both sides have won and lost, and the current situation is still extremely stalemate."

"Damn it!"

Chu Yunfei was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Is Lu Zhixian crazy? No matter how strong his Tiger Guards are, how can they be the opponent of the Japanese division? According to the news from the headquarters, the Japanese army this time is probably close to 30,000 people! The commander this time is Kato Kiku, who is known as the venomous snake. As long as the front If they are defeated, the Tiger Guards will pay a heavy price!"

"Commander!"

Fang Ligong said in a deep voice: "To be honest, the current situation is also caused by the Tiger Guards themselves! Facing such a powerful opponent, they not only did not retreat, but also directly confronted! After all, they are only a reinforced regiment. Now they want to fight against the devil's division. Isn't this courting death?"

"Don't mention this matter again!"

Although Chu Yunfei was also angry at Lu Zhixian's recklessness, he hesitated a little and quickly said: "Pass my order! The 358th Regiment will immediately return to Heyuan County!"

"Commander!"

Fang Ligong's face changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "We just receivedThe headquarters has ordered us to evacuate immediately. You are defying the headquarters' orders! Moreover, we are nearly 200 miles away from Heyuan County now. Even if we rush back quickly, it will take at least several days!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chu Yunfei said solemnly: "If Qian Bojun did not have the help of the Tiger Guards when he rebelled, my 358th Regiment would have become a laughing stock of the world!"

"Commander!"

Fang Ligong did not deny it, but gritted his teeth and said: "In the past six months, our Tiger Guards have suffered many disasters because of Lu Zhixian. The previous report in the Central Daily News said that Lu Zhixian was completely using our 358th Regiment! Several leaders of the headquarters are still extremely dissatisfied with my unit!"

Chu Yunfei's face was slightly hesitant.

But it was only for a moment.

He immediately waved his hand and said: "If it were anything else, I, Chu Yunfei, would never care, but now we are fighting the devils! Let's not talk about the friendship between us and the Tiger Guards who jointly sniped the 29th Brigade heading south. Just because the Tiger Guards are now facing the Japanese division, my 358th Regiment must help them!"

"Regiment Commander--"

"Pass my order, everyone rush to Heyuan County immediately!"

...

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Artillery continued to roar outside Heyuan County, and unprecedented fierce battles continued to break out.

Although the Japanese vanguard troops showed terrifying combat effectiveness and launched continuous and powerful attacks on many places with small forces, the Tiger Guards mostly relied on hillsides, hills and other favorable terrains to launch sniping. The Japanese attack was obviously ineffective. If it hadn't dispatched the aviation force early, the entire battle situation would have been firmly controlled by the Tiger Guards. .

I have to say.

The power of the aerial bombers is indeed extremely strong.

Compared with the past.

This time, the Japanese air force started to move out early.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Various aerial bombs kept flying in.

If most of the positions of the Tiger Guards were not set up near the hillside and had powerful anti-aircraft weapons, these few rounds of joint attacks alone would be enough to make them suffer! Even so, such continuous attacks put the Tiger Guards under considerable pressure.
