The offices of the chiefs were also filled with smoke at this time, and there was a strong sense of depression.
"Report, the 731st Brigade of the National Army in the south and the 397th Division in the west have all advanced towards our base area. They have advanced ten kilometers. It seems that they want to stir up trouble."
"Damn it, this Chongqing government is so unreasonable. It actually adds insult to injury to us at this time. Doesn't this force us to fight them to the death?"
"Yes, these bastards are not going to deal with the Japanese now, but are here to deal with us. What do they mean? They are trying to push us to death. I can see it. Our two families will never be able to piss on each other. pot!"
"Yes, we must have a clear understanding of the Kuomintang now to prevent it from taking the wrong path again in the future. This time is a test and a lesson."
The leaders sat there and discussed loudly.
After all, the matter this time was relatively big. The national army was pressing hard on the base area, and the Japanese did not miss this opportunity.
A large number of Japanese troops were mobilized. With Qu County as the center, nearly ten thousand Japanese troops were concentrated in this area, and there were also a large number of puppet troops.
Looking at the map on the table, several leaders also fell into silence for a while.
"Chief, tell me, what do you think if we change this handover location?"
The chief also sighed, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then frowned and said solemnly.
"I think, let the Taiyue column leave Taiyue Mountain, then go to Jiexiu, stop the train halfway, and then take away all the supplies. What do you think?"
"Shiling, Jiexiu, and even other places are having a lot of trouble. I wonder if we can intercept the goods directly north of Jiexiu, so that we can give the Japanese a chance to attack the east and west, so that they don't Understand what our purpose is."
"Well, we must break out of the Japanese encirclement and cannot be passively beaten all the time. I remember the Taiyue Column. They are now facing a large number of Japanese troops chasing and intercepting them. It is just time for them to jump out of the encirclement. And if they don't jump out now, then the entire column may appear. Accident."
"Tomorrow night, all organizations will destroy the railway, but at the same time they must ensure the safe passage of this train before blasting."
"Well, although this matter is top secret, we all here know that what is sent this time is not only money, but more importantly, materials. Materials that cannot be bought with money alone. Therefore, in order to ensure this To ensure the safety of batches of supplies, we must show our sincerity."
"It does make sense. The goods are on the train now. As long as we operate properly, we can definitely make the Japanese trip in vain. At the same time, we can get those five regiments back to the defense zone."
"Originally, the north of Qu County was our best handover location. It seems that something unexpected may have happened this time, so we will think of other ways to see if there is any way to change the handover location."
"Okay, let us know immediately about this matter, otherwise we won't be able to catch up on time."
"good!"
"This is possible, and when the train arrives, we must blow up all the railways going back and forth, and let the train stop halfway. We want to wait until the Japanese army comes to support us, so that we have enough time to deal with the next situation."
Everyone has already calculated how many people are needed for this large amount of supplies. If it is less, it will not work, but if it is too much, it will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese, and it is very likely that the mission will fail again.
"This is fine. It kills two birds with one stone. There are about 3,000 people in the Taiyue Column now, which is almost enough."
"Okay, that's it. It's just that the Taiyue Column may be a little pressed for time. Let's see what we do. After all, the Taiyue Column still has some wealth."
"Let's talk about which troops are being transferred this time. After all, how much does this batch of materials weigh and how much is there? Everyone knows clearly that just for transportation, it will take almost half a regiment, or even a regiment, as well as protection along the way.
It requires at least two regiments, and the regiments must be strengthened."
"Also, order these five regiments to withdraw secretly and return to the defense area, while leaving a fascination array for the Japanese army!"
"Yes, now the northern part of Qu County and even this area are surrounded by Japanese troops. If we go there now, we will jump!"
"No, these assets can be saved in the future, but nothing can happen to this batch of supplies. Really, so the Taiyue Column must collect a large number of mules and horses, bring all light things, and move forward at full speed to try to get there before dark tomorrow night.
Before, we arrived at the designated place, what do you think?"
"Um!"
"Let's take a look, do you have anything to add?"
Next, there was another discussion. It didn't last long, but the basic orders had been issued and started to be executed.
…
In the mountains and forests in the north of Qu County, Lao Li looked at the information in his hand, his expression getting increasingly ugly.
The Japanese army's encirclement has not yet been formed, but once the encirclement is formed, the two regiments will have to shed a layer of skin even if they are not dead. Such a far-reaching gain is not worth the loss.
Faced with this situation, he felt helpless for a while.
"Report, urgent call from headquarters!"
"urgent telegram!"
When Lao Li heard about the urgent telegram from the headquarters, he was stunned. He immediately realized what was going on and quickly stood up and took the telegram from the operator's hand.
I opened it and looked at it carefully, and a smile appeared on my lips.
"Come here, give me the order to defend the first and third regiments. Immediately pack up your things, withdraw, and march all night. In addition, order the first regiment to leave a platoon of soldiers to pretend here. All of them will be withdrawn before dinner tomorrow.
Just leave the straw man alone."
"yes!"
After Minister Li received the telegram, his mood became more comfortable.
After all, we don't have to wait here for the Japanese army to encircle us. We can jump out of the encirclement earlier, which is more important than anything else.
As his order was issued, the soldiers of the two regiments immediately packed up and quietly left the mountains under the leadership of their respective company and battalion commanders.
From the time the order is issued to the complete evacuation, it only takes a moment.
After all, everyone has not even taken off their equipment and is always ready for battle. What's more, this is a temporary mission.
There are three other regiments who also received such information. Some regiments have already arrived at the designated location, and some are still on the way.
I suddenly received an order from my superiors and returned immediately.
These group leaders are also incomprehensible, but orders are orders, there is no need for any explanation, just execute them.
…
At the Yan'an headquarters, several leaders looked at the map, and then received calls back from the five regiments. This finally made them feel relieved. After all, this operation was indeed a bit risky.
"It seems that these five regiments retreated in time. If they retreat again tomorrow morning, they may be in big trouble."
Looking at the intelligence they had just received, several leaders secretly broke into a cold sweat.
"Damn it, the Japanese secretly crossed into Chencang, and secretly transported two brigades of Japanese troops into Qu County overnight since last night. They are trying to fight us, or use us to show their authority!"
"Well, there is also an extra security group in Shi Ling for no reason, and a large number of troops are also coming from the other two places. This encirclement is basically about to be formed. If there are more Japanese troops in these places, the consequences will be really unimaginable."
Several people looked at the signs on the map and had to pay attention.
"I hope they can evacuate in time overnight, otherwise, I will use their heads to pay tribute to the fallen heroes."
