  "Commander, we currently know nothing about the specific situation of the Red Army. I think our top priority right now is to keep this matter confidential and not let it leak out. Additionally, we should dispatch a large number of reconnaissance troops to gather as much information as possible about the Nationalist army's situation and troop deployment in Puzhou County. Then, we can retake Puzhou from the Red Army and absolutely cannot allow the situation to become more severe..." The Chief of Staff reminded.

  "Alright, Chief of Staff. I'm leaving this matter to you, and I want to know the result in one day." Wang Jingguo slammed his hand on the table and said firmly.

  What Wang Jingguo and the chief of staff did not expect was that at this time, the county seat of Pucheng had only ten teams left. As for the other two teams of the 4th Division, they had already left Pucheng County on the second day after entering the city, replenishing ammunition and supplies, and took a large amount of captured materials and equipment to the activity area designated by the army corps headquarters.

  "Report to Commander Zhang Lianchang, the battalion commander has ordered you to report to the battalion headquarters immediately... there is an urgent task..." Just as Zhang Hua was thinking about when the troops would be transferred. The battalion communication officer came to his front and said loudly.

  "Team leader found me, and another task is coming? Alright, I'll go right away.... Old Guo, the troops will be handed over to you for training..." Zhang Hua nodded in response, saying to his chief of staff Guo Chengzhu beside him, then turned around and followed the team's communication officer, running towards the team headquarters.

  "Reporting to the battalion commander, Scout Company Commander Zhang Hua, has arrived for debriefing..." Soon after, Zhang Hua rushed to the entrance of the command post and loudly shouted at the battalion commander and chief of staff inside.

  "Zhang Hua has arrived, come in and take a seat..." Seeing Zhang Hua, the team leader who had been frowning immediately relaxed his brow and smiled at him.

  "Captain, Chief of Staff, is there a mission?" Zhang Hua asked impatiently as he walked into the command center.

  "Old Yang, see I told you so, Zhang Hua this kid must be eager to get the task." The chief of staff said with a smile after hearing Zhang Hua's words.

  "Yes, there is a mission. Zhang Hua, I'll ask you first. This time your special operations company has added so many new recruits. After just two days of training, how has the combat effectiveness of the troops recovered?" At this time, Yang Yong, as the regiment commander, was most worried about the more than 100 new recruits in the special operations company, fearing that these new recruits would affect the combat effectiveness of the entire special operations company.

  "Please rest assured, Commander, the combat effectiveness of our troops is not a problem at all. Please assign the mission to the Chief of Staff, and the Special Forces will guarantee its completion..." Hearing the commander's question, Zhang Hua immediately knew that there would be a tough battle ahead for his special forces, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he confidently replied.

  "Alright, you have spirit...... Zhang Hua, you also know the situation in the city. Now, two of our four regiments' other brigades have already left, and our tenth brigade is about to leave as well, advancing towards Guxian County. Based on our current intelligence, within the area where our fourth regiment operates, aside from the main force of Wang Jingguo's two brigades with over 4,000 men, the remaining troops are basically just security regiments. If we blindly advance towards Guxian County and Wang Jingguo's two brigades take advantage of this to pursue us... considering our tenth brigade's strength, the consequences would be unthinkable. So..." Regiment Commander Yang Yong stared at Zhang Hua in front of him, not continuing to speak.

  "Commander, I understand. You want to leave our special operations company behind, holding up the two main forces of the Shanxi Army, so they can't pose a threat to our main force..." Seeing the commander's hesitant gaze, Zhang Hua immediately reacted and replied.

  "That's right, let your special agents stay behind and think of every possible way to hold back the two main forces of the Shanxi Army." Zhang Hua immediately understood what he meant. Yang Yong showed a relieved expression and nodded his head.

  "Please rest assured, Commander, the Special Forces will guarantee the completion of the task. However, Commander, how long can our Special Forces hold off these Shanxi troops? When should we head to Guxian and rendezvous with the main force?" Zhang Hua asked.

  "For two days, as long as your special agent troops hold on for two days and block the Jin-Sui army's two regiments to the west of Puzhou, it will be considered a completed task. Rush to Guxian and merge with the main force..." The team leader Yang Yong replied firmly.

  "Yes, Captain, mission will be accomplished." Zhang Hua replied firmly.

  "Alright, very well. Chief of Staff, brief Zhang Hua on the current situation around the county town and the enemy's troop deployment." Seeing Zhang Hua's confident smile, Regimental Commander Yang Yong nodded his head in satisfaction.

  "Yes, Old Yang... Zhang Hua, the situation is like this. According to the intelligence sent by our underground party, except for Wang Jingguo, all the other Jin-Sui troops did not know that our army had occupied the county seat of Pucheng. In other words, Wang Jingguo concealed the news that the county seat was occupied by our army..." The chief of staff introduced with a smile.

  "Chief of Staff, are you saying that the occupation of Puxian County's county seat was not reported by Wang Jingguo?" Zhang Hua asked in surprise.

  "Yes, according to the intelligence provided by the underground party, it is indeed so. Moreover, our scouts discovered a number of Shanxi-Shaanxi army spies outside the city today. If I'm not mistaken, they should be reconnaissance soldiers sent by Wang Jingguo's troops to investigate the military strength of our forces in Pucheng County. Then, depending on the situation, take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Pucheng County and retake the county seat into their own hands..." The chief of staff said affirmatively.

  "I see... Thank you, Chief of Staff. I understand the situation now. Please rest assured, the Special Forces will guarantee the completion of the mission." Zhang Hua nodded thoughtfully and guaranteed.

  "Alright, you go prepare now. The main force will leave the city before noon...the rest is up to your special forces unit..." Yang Yong nodded and watched Zhang Hua leave.

  Zhang Hua returned to his company without any rest. He immediately called back his three teammates to the company command post. He told them everything about the mission he received at the regimental headquarters, including the enemy situation around the county town mentioned by the chief of staff. He informed his platoon leader, chief of staff and deputy platoon leader of all the details.

  "Old Zhang, with our special operations company's 300 men, we're up against two enemy regiments with over 4,000 men. The disparity in troop strength is too great, it seems this battle won't be easy to fight..." Xu Bin, the instructor, was the first to speak after listening to Zhang Hua's introduction.

  "Yes, it's not easy to beat, otherwise the regiment commander wouldn't have offered a reward for our special operations company." Old Guo, what do you think..." After hearing the instructor's words, Zhang Hua nodded and shifted his gaze to the chief of staff, Guo Chengzhu.

  "Old Zhang, I think that with the current equipment and troops of our special operations company, taking down a regiment of the Shanxi Army shouldn't be too difficult. I was thinking, if we can find a way to make the Shanxi Army divide their forces, we can defeat them one by one, and those 4,000 Shanxi soldiers will eventually be defeated by our army." Guo Chengzhu, who is very skilled in guerrilla warfare tactics, proposed immediately.
