"Ha, a mere division commander dares to threaten me?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth.

He knew about the 66th Division, which belonged to the 34th Army of the Jin-Sui Army and consisted of the 171st, 172nd, and 173rd Brigades, with more than 20,000 men.

Not only were they formidable, but they also ranked quite high in the Jin-Sui Army.

But so what?

In the face of absolute power, all fancy tricks are useless!

"Return the telegram to Liu Shiying: if he wants these three regiments, he can bring the 66th Division to take them himself. I'm waiting for him!"

When he said the last sentence, Lin Feng suddenly raised his voice.

"Yes, sir!" the communications soldier replied, then turned and ran out.

......

Jinan, Pier 67.

Liu Shiying stood by the dock, his face ashen.

"Commander, what do we do now?" Huang Zhongchang asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to fight!" Liu Shiying said through gritted teeth. "Damn it, this little independent regiment is lawless and dares to poach our members. I want to see just how much this Chen Ergou really has!"

"Send a telegram to the 171st, 172nd, and 173rd Brigades, ordering them to encircle the Wu'an Township Independent Regiment! We must teach this Chen Ergou a lesson, otherwise, they'll really think I'm afraid of them!"

"yes!"

"etc!"

Liu Shiying suddenly called out to Huang Zhongchang, who was about to leave.

"What's wrong, Commander?"

Liu Shiying waved his hand: "Send another telegram to the 129th Division, saying that our 66th Division is going to attack the Independent Regiment. Are they just watching the show, or are they helping the Independent Regiment? They can't bear the responsibility of undermining the united front of the War of Resistance."

"clear."

Huang Zhongchang nodded emphatically, then turned and walked out.

Liu Shiying's eyes gradually turned cold, and a strong sense of murderous intent slowly rose up.

Didn't the Eighth Route Army not recognize this independent regiment?

He wanted to see if the 129th Division would get involved.

If they intervened, he would report the matter to the Second War Zone and the Supreme Command.

If they don't interfere, he'll take down the Independent Regiment, making it disappear forever!

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

Thinking of this, Liu Shiying couldn't help but grin.

Half an hour later, a steady stream of telegrams were sent to each brigade.

A meat grinder plan targeting the Independent Regiment has officially begun.

…………

The 129th Division's forward command post on the Jinzhong battlefield.

The division commander was staring at the battle sand table in front of him, his brows furrowed.

"Report, a telegram from the 66th Division of the Jin-Sui Army!"

"Read it!" The division commander waved his hand.

"Liu Shiying, commander of the 66th Division, ordered the 171st, 172nd, and 173rd Brigades to encircle the Wu'an Township Independent Regiment, demanding that our 129th Division not interfere. If we interfered, he would report it to the Second War Zone and the Supreme Command on the grounds of undermining the united front against Japan, and hold us accountable."

Upon hearing this, the division commander's brows furrowed even deeper.

Liu Shiying has him cornered, she's actually using this to threaten him?

After thinking it over, the division commander decided not to intervene.

Firstly, Chen Ergou's Independent Regiment has indeed gone too far recently, causing widespread panic throughout Jinzhong.

Secondly, he had stated beforehand that the Independent Regiment was not part of the 129th Division's organization, so no matter who complained, it would be useless.

Thinking of this, the division commander shook his head: "Transfer Liu Shiying's telegram to the Independent Regiment intact."

"yes!"

After the communications soldier finished recording, he immediately returned to the independent regiment to relay the order.
