Nowadays, the puppet army's tactical style has changed a lot. It is not as messy as before, but has some organization. The offensive echelons are clear, the goals of the attacking combat units are clear, and the key support directions of firepower at all levels are clear.

Wang Zhengyi is quite skillful in employing people. Although the current puppet army still has many problems, it is generally good.

After their attack was repulsed by the second company, they did not retreat like a swarm of swarms, but their retreat was quite satisfactory. This performance was very good.

The entire defensive battle was very difficult for the second company. If it had not occupied this favorable terrain and built a lot of fortifications, it would have been difficult for the second company to defend against the opponent's attack.

After basically understanding the situation of the puppet troops, Zhang Yunfei ordered the Second Company and all the troops of the First Battalion to abandon the defense line in the Nanhengyan area while the Second Company was holding the defense line.

After abandoning the Nanhengyan front line, all the troops retreated to Fenling and put on a defensive posture. Zhang Yunfei's behavior puzzled many cadres and soldiers.

Fengling is the seat of the Xinnan government. In terms of wealth, it seems to be more important than Nanhengyan.

But when did the Eighth Route Army see this? Even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army could be built in a mountain village.

After abandoning Nanhengyan on the southern line, Fengling became a salient, with Wang Zhengyi to the south and the Japanese and puppet troops in New Taipei to the north.

Such a strategic layout is very problematic. From a military point of view, it is more reasonable to abandon the sealing of the ridge and concentrate troops to defend Nanhengyan. However, Zhang Yunfei did the opposite, which is puzzling.

Wang Zhengyi, who occupied the front line of Nanhengyan, continued to test with small forces. Although there was no major battle between the two sides at the line of control for the time being, conflicts often occurred.

"Captain, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? What happened to you during this time? We may not be able to deal with the little devils. We may need wingspan. After all, where is the strength? But now we can deal with the puppet troops.

, you are also timid, this is not like you." Regarding Zhang Yunfei's recent behavior, Qian Deming was holding back a lot of questions.

"Old Qian, you are the political commissar. Why are you so surprised now? It is not a good sign for others to affect your emotions and judgment." Zhang Yunfei said, both seriously and jokingly.

Now Qian Deming is less of a scholar and more of a resolute soldier than when he first joined the army.

"Captain, what you are criticizing is that my review is a bit personal. But for this battle, have you revealed anything about how you considered it?" Qian Deming deeply agreed with Zhang Yunfei's statement and immediately said to himself

Review Road.

Political commissars often have to stand on the side of absolute rationality and often act as referees. It is not a good sign to become too emotional.

"I just said that, it's not that serious." Zhang Yunfei shook his head and smiled bitterly. Qian Deming was not good at this, he was too accepting of death.

"Old Qian, our purpose in this battle is not as simple as repelling Wang Zhengyi's attack, but to neutralize the counterattack of all forces and maintain the stable development of the base area."

Although the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War is improving, specifically in the Xincheng area, it has not changed their current situation of struggling to survive in cracks.

They not only have to face the troops of the 14th Independent Japanese Brigade, but also the die-hard Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi, who has ulterior motives.

Although their base area has been expanded before, their situation has not improved substantially. Isn't the enemy's counterattack coming?

Fighting to the death with Wang Zhengyi is the worst strategy, and avoiding retreat is not a good strategy either.

Giving in will make Wang Zhengyi even more arrogant. He will only have to look at Shu and press forward step by step without end. How can they give up the entire base area?

Now they are neither fighting nor fighting, they are completely passive.

Since the defeat of this game has been determined, let's just flip the table over and make the matter bigger, attract the attention of a third party, come and intervene, and completely mess up the situation.

Therefore, facing the confident Wang Zhengyi, Zhang Yunfei gave up the Nanhengyan area and began to shrink his troops after giving his opponent a severe blow.

The first is to avoid its sharp edge, and the second is to wait for the third party to end. This is also the reason why we abandoned the defense of Nanhengyan and tried to protect the sealing ridge.

On the contrary, this effect would be lost. If he was isolated from Li Jianfeng and other puppet forces, he would have no reason to get involved.

Now, when Li Jianfeng sees that Wang Zhengyi, his old enemy, has expanded his power, he would be wrong if he doesn't interfere.

Now that Wang Zhengyi has obtained the Nanhengyan area, their offensive is much weaker.

The Nanhengyan area can be connected to the original area, and most of the area in the new city is controlled by Li Jianfeng. If Wang Zhengyi wants to develop, he must either compete with himself, compete with Li Jianfeng for territory, or develop southward.

Therefore, Nanhengyan is extremely important to Wang Zhengyi, and giving up Nanhengyan means that Wang Zhengyi has achieved more than half of the purpose of this battle.

Now that he was determined to fight to the death and defend the county committee to the death, he was not willing to fight to the death with him rashly.

Although fighting continued between the two sides, it was more of a tentative one.

Zhang Yunfei's strategy has another additional function, which is to help Ren Xiaofeng's New Seventh Regiment rescue the enemy.

The two major puppet armies, Wang Zhengyi and Li Jianfeng, are now desperately trying to expand their strength.

They have a tacit understanding, one is developing towards the south and the other is developing towards the north.

And now Zhang Yunfei is clinging to the Fengling area where they are connected, in order to attract their strength, create obstacles for them, and once again intensify the conflict between them.

Isn't Wang Zhengyi worried that he can hold on to his door, and wants to drive himself out of the Fenling area?

He could leave by himself, but Feng Ling could never be given to him, so Zhang Yunfei decided to give Feng Ling to Li Jianfeng.

In this way, they will have to confront each other again, and they will benefit from it.

As for whether the cunning Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi have seen through their schemes, Zhang Yunfei is not worried at all.

Because this was a conspiracy, and he knew it was a scheme, so Li Jianfeng had to follow through.

If you retreat from Fengling, you can guard Wang Zhengyi's eastward and northward development. If you advance, you can directly attack and threaten Fenghe. Li Jianfeng knows that it is his own plan, and he will try his best to capture Fengling.

But from a personal perspective, if Zhang Yunfei was given the choice, Zhang Yunfei would rather Wang Zhengyi control the Fenling area.

That guy Li Jianfeng is too crazy and does not do good things to the local people. Although Wang Zhengyi is not a good guy either, he can pretend, he still has to do superficial things, and his methods are relatively mild.

But strategically speaking, only if Li Jianfeng takes down Fengling can the three parties check and balance each other and form a new balance.
