With the four columns with unified strategic awareness, Deng Chenggong's order was naturally implemented soon. In order to use the results of this battle to enhance the morale of the militia column, Deng Chenggong asked the Telecommunications Office to secretly send this battle situation to the commanders of various militia regiments.

It was also proposed that in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, all military achievements only need to be informed of the headquarters, and no one is allowed to disclose the results of the war. Moreover, if necessary, when conducting a large-scale battle, it is best to put on the military uniforms of the National Party or other forces to fight. In a quiet voice, throw this "black pot of honor" to the governments and warlord forces from all sides that need military achievements to appease the people.

The commanders of various militia regiments who received the telegram immediately felt that the commander was really too dark, but at the same time, they felt that this approach was undoubtedly the most appropriate and safe way of development for the militia columns who are now in a strategic dangerous place.

Another war report sent to the internal telegram was sent clearly nationwide in the name of the 141st Division. The first reaction of all forces who received the telegram was that this country's military advisor was falsely reporting his military achievements. However, at the risk of deceiving all citizens, few officers dared to do this kind of military achievements.

After some consideration, various forces sent congratulatory messages to Shang Zhen, the commander of the 32nd Army. Shang Zhen, who was dizzy to defend against the invasion of the Japanese, was originally thinking that the 141st Division was too brave and dared to falsely report his military achievements as soon as he received the clear telegram.

According to him, the 141st Division had evacuated Xingtai the night before yesterday, and is now less than a day away from Shijiazhuang, the 32nd Army. What are they here to kill the brigade commander of the 108th Japanese Major General and kill thousands of Japanese soldiers?

After asking the radio operator to send a message to the 141st Division to ask what the military telegram was like, Shang Zhen also began to guess whether the 141st Division would leave a small army to block the attack when it retreated. It was this retained blocking force that by coincidence shot and killed the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander, and caused such heavy losses to the Japanese army.

Only this assumption can explain the possibility of this clear-code telegram. But what he didn't know was that the commander of the 141st Division who also received the clear-code telegram was "TMD, who is the one who is indifferent!" After thinking for a long time, he finally felt that it was possible that this matter was done by a militia column that robbed a large number of combat preparations.

But when he calmed down, he felt that if this military achievements really fell on him, he didn't have to think that his military rank could be improved one level. He thought that he might have been given the rank of lieutenant general because of this telegram, the commander of the 141st Division felt that he could lead the pie that fell from the sky without saying a word?

Just when he was fantasizing that he might be promoted to lieutenant general, the telegram from the adjutant general's headquarters came over, and when he saw the commander Shang Zhen, he was obviously questioning. The division commander realized that such a false military merit could not be done at all. First, he was in a sensitive period of the national war of resistance, and second, his division's troops were all in the marching process. As long as they were asking a little, they knew that this battle was not fought by their division.

Thinking that the pie might turn into a discus after eating it, the 141st Division Commander asked the adjutant to report the situation he guessed to the military headquarters with an encrypted telegram. Shang Zhen, who received the encrypted telegram of the 141st Division, suddenly realized, but to his surprise, how could this militia column that had been staying in the countryside of the mountains have such great strength? This kind of victory that can be called a great victory is simply impossible without some real skills.

Realizing that he might have underestimated the real power of this militia column, Shang Zhen immediately found the chief of staff of the military department. After listening to the other party's speculation, Shang Zhen resolutely realized that this militia column should not be ignored.

At the suggestion of the Chief of Staff, Shang Zhen quickly reported this situation to the Military Information Office of the President of the National Government. I believe that Jiang Baldy, who had no military achievements to block the people's mouths, would bring this credit to himself without hesitation. At that time, Shang Zhen would not risk taking military achievements, but was afraid that in order to change the current sluggish situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he would still have to reward the 32nd Army.

As expected, Jiang Guangtou, who was anxious and angry at Nanjing, was getting angry when he received a clear report from the 141st Division. He sighed that Shang Zhen was a tiger general and summoned senior military and political officials of the Presidential Office to discuss how to commend the 32nd Army.

Unfortunately, less than half of the meeting was opened, and the confidential secretary hurriedly sent Shang Zhen's telegram over. Jiang Guangtou, who was originally excited, immediately frowned and scolded: "My grandma Xipi, I have been fighting this military achievements for a long time by those militia."

Uh! As soon as these words came out, the senior military and political officials who attended the meeting immediately stopped discussing the commendation. After reading the telegram one by one, the Minister of Defense He Yingqing, who knew that the president was defeated by the telegram, said: "President, since this war happened within the jurisdiction of Commander Shang, I think this military achievements are nothing to count on them. After all, the 141st Division is responsible for Xingtai City Defense. Since the militia column thinks that this military achievements should belong to the 141st Division, why should we be confused about who fought the war?

Besides, when the director Xu and other director of the North China Column got married last time, we also sent representatives and gave them 300,000 yuan of military expenditure. This military merit belongs to our national party, and I am afraid that no one can take it. Now the militia column is unwilling to take over this military merit. I think they are worried that they will anger the Japanese army, and that the Japanese army will take revenge on them at that time.

But putting this military merit on our heads will enhance the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the national army to fight against Japan, and will also make warlords from all sides stop talking about the war of resistance of our army. In my opinion, this is a matter of killing a few things at one gossip, so why is the president angry about it?"

He heard the Minister of Defense He Yingqing say this, President Chiang suddenly felt, "Yes! This militia column has given military expenditures, and he is also under the jurisdiction of the 141st Division. Compared to the fact that this military merit really falls on the head of the militia, how can these millions of regular troops deal with it?"

With this consideration, President Jiang quickly sent the commendation order as a clear telegram. As expected by the Chief of Staff of the 32nd Army, Shang Zhen not only received a blue sky and white sun military merit medal, but also raised his military rank one level. As for the commander of the 141st Division, he was promoted to the commander of the lieutenant general after arriving in Shijiazhuang as he wished.

However, what Ling Shang Zhen and the 141st Division Commander did not expect, and the Japanese North China Front Army, who received the news that the commander of the 108th Major General was shot dead in Xingtai City, quickly locked in the troops that had just entered Shijiazhuang. So much so that in the later battle of Shijiazhuang, the rest of the soldiers who surrendered to the Japanese army had to survive, but the soldiers of the 141st Division could not escape the crazy revenge of the Japanese.

Of course, the militia column that gave the credit for free also quickly received the so-called military merit rewards secretly sent by the representatives of the National Party. In addition to a batch of guns and ammunition, plus a 100,000-ocean hush fee, Deng Chenggong felt that President Chiang was quite authentic. At least he didn't seem too stingy in this regard!

Not long after Xingtai City was occupied by the Japanese army, several Japanese troops besieged Shijiazhuang and were preparing to launch an attack on this important military center in North China. Shang Zhen, the commander of the 32nd Army, who had been regarded as a hero of the War of Resistance, looked at the Japanese army's offensive route and combat troops on the combat map, and felt that the consequences of defending Shijiazhuang would be a loss. But he had just been commended by the State Government. If he retreated without fighting, he was afraid that he would be in a bad mood to stay in the army.

Therefore, Shang Zhen gritted his teeth and began to mobilize a large number of military and civilian forces to build permanent fortifications near Shijiazhuang. In the end, he decided not only to fight this battle, but even though he knew that he could not win, he decided to give the Japanese army a firm defense in Shijiazhuang. Even if he fought all his 32nd Army, the Japanese would feel distressed at that time.

Compared to Deng Chenggong, who had begun to surround Shijiazhuang to dispatch troops and generals, and did not even say politely, he calmly charged Chiang Kai-shek ban fee. According to the intelligence provided by the column intelligence department, he planned to take advantage of the attention of both sides of the war to lead a unit to secretly sneak into the Jingjing Coal Mine not far from the Zhengtai Railway near Shijiazhuang when both sides were focusing on Shijiazhuang.

Deng Chenggong's idea for this coal mine that was already under an ungovernmental jurisdiction was to remove all the machinery and equipment on the mine, and even the mine that was opened was blown up. In short, even if the coal mine would eventually fall into the hands of the Japanese, he would have to make the Japanese pay a high price for restarting the coal mine.

During this period, the militia column, which had been working in the demolition office, according to their own identity as a "landlord", whenever the national soldiers of a county town retreated to Shijiazhuang, they would quickly move into the city for large-scale demolition and concentrate all the materials in the rear base to store. This blatant robbery allowed the strategic materials stored by the militia column to be directly improved.

The steel plant, which was originally in its initial construction, has also been demolished to countless scrap steel, which ensures that the steel in the arsenal will be supplied by itself.

The remaining steel was forged into various steel and sent to the subordinate base areas to speed up the construction of permanent fortifications. If someone enters the base area now, he will find that there will be at least several castles hidden underground or watered with steel and concrete on the second side of the village. The entire base area presents a busy but not chaotic preparation scene!

However, with the start of the steel plant, the coal stored at the base was already in a hurry. Deng Chenggong, who learned about this situation, immediately set his goal in the early stage that intelligence officers had been sent to the undercover Jingjing Coal Mine. Because when he learned that the Japanese army was not far from Jingjing Coal Mine, the management and workers of the coal mine were running so fast. In addition to some money and property, the equipment on the mine and thousands of tons of high-quality coal mined were completely unprotected.

In order to transfer this batch of coal as much as possible, Deng Chenggong led the special forces and the second militia regiment, and cooperated with thousands of nearby reserve militias, and had quietly marched to the vicinity of Jingjing Coal Mine.
