When the time reached midnight, the entire army rested near the edge of the mountain forest, each holding their own weapons.
All the supplies they brought were piled together in a forest, and there were a large number of soldiers on guard around them.
In order to ensure safety, directly arrange a battalion of troops to guard.
As for transportation, it is also a battalion. It can be said that in addition to the vanguard battalion, there are five battalions that also take turns carrying supplies forward, which can save the physical strength of most soldiers.
But Zhang Tianhao stood beside a tree, looking up at the dark night sky, but he didn't feel sleepy at all and was still full of energy.
Compared with the entire camp, he alone seemed like a whole world.
Quiet and refreshing, it is a unique scenery in the mountains and forests.
"Xiao Zhang, why don't you sleep? Go get some sleep first, otherwise, you won't have much energy!"
At this time, Commander Chen came over, looked at Zhang Tianhao who was standing aside smoking, and whispered advice.
"Commander Chen, I can't sleep. It's not that I don't want to sleep, but I just can't let go. You also know how important this batch of supplies is."
"For this batch of supplies, it can be said that I haven't had a good night's sleep for several months. I have no choice but to get used to it."
Zhang Tianhao also gave a sleepy laugh. If it weren't for his strong body and only three or four hours of rest every day, his body might have collapsed.
"Don't worry, I believe we can go back safely!"
Commander Chen also smiled and comforted.
"No need, Commander Chen, is there anyone else here? If possible, arrange a few teams to directly investigate the first few places in a fan-shaped manner."
"Although we have vanguard troops, we still need to strengthen vigilance on both sides and do more reconnaissance. I always feel that things are not going so smoothly. If possible, can you tell me about the distribution of Japanese troops around and the Japanese march route?
?"
"This, no problem!"
After a while, an oil lamp was lit and came directly in front of Zhang Tianhao, and a map was laid directly on the ground.
Next, Commander Chen began to mark out the distribution of Japanese troops in various aspects and the marching routes of some Japanese troops.
Zhang Tianhao sat there, looking at the map, and then at their location. He also wanted to think about whether there would be any problems with the direction they were heading.
"Commander Chen, send a report to Yan'an immediately and ask if they are adopting a foreign attack plan to reduce the pressure on us. If this plan is really adopted, we may be in trouble."
For ten minutes, Zhang Tianhao looked at the map carefully, and then analyzed the map carefully.
Suddenly I felt something bad, and an unknown feeling came over my heart.
Of course, this is not the instinctive feeling of his body, but the result of his own analysis.
"How is it possible? This is a new road for us, and no one knows our route forward."
Commander Chen was also stunned and immediately retorted.
"Commander Chen, you see, if we use foreign methods, then these counties will be empty, and most of the Japanese troops inside will be used to relieve the siege of Qu County."
"The question is, now that the Japanese troops are going back, do you think they can still make it in time?"
"The most important thing is, will they be ambushed by us when they are on their way? Even if we do not ambush, are they afraid?"
"Then what should we do at this time? If we are afraid, we need to reduce our marching speed and increase our reconnaissance efforts."
"What's more, they have already gone through a forced march and are physically exhausted. They are not strong enough to support them for long distances. So how can these Japanese troops guard the county town? They can only mobilize troops from other places."
"Look again, there are only a few places to mobilize troops, the Taiyuan line, and these few places. If we mobilize, what will happen? These places are exactly the territory of your Taiyue Column. You leave
Yes, but they don’t know.”
"Once mobilized, if you give them a fatal blow, wouldn't that be asking for death?"
"If you look at this place again, the Banmoto division has more than 20,000 people. It can definitely be divided into several brigades and directly rush to these counties for support."
"And they must pass through these places, but look, does our route overlap with theirs? Once it overlaps, do you know the consequences?"
Zhang Tianhao directly expressed his worries in one breath, and even gave Commander Chen a detailed analysis of the possibilities.
"It's really possible. If there is no movement in Yan'an, then everything will be fine. Our journey has basically been safe. If there is movement, help us share the pressure. You know the consequences."
“Sometimes it’s better to be still than to move.”
Commander Chen couldn't help but frown when he heard this, especially since Zhang Tianhao also analyzed it, which gave him a bad feeling.
"Correspondent, send a report immediately and ask the headquarters if they are using the foreign movement plan to support us?"
He realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately gave serious instructions to the correspondent beside him.
"I have a radio station here. You can use it first. There is no need to trouble the comrades. They are also tired. Let them rest more."
"oh!"
Commander Chen was also stunned, and immediately saw Zhang Tianhao take out a relatively small radio station from his huge backpack and place it directly on the ground.
This is a low-frequency radio station, a five-watt small radio station, and relatively speaking, it is more compact.
"Hey, why is your radio station so small?"
"The latest radio station is a small radio station made using integrated circuits. Unfortunately, the one I built is only five watts, and larger ones will not work!"
"You did it?"
"Is this difficult?"
Zhang Tianhao rolled his eyes, took out an antenna from his bag, hung the antenna directly on a branch, and installed the power supply.
He carefully turned on the power and saw that the radio was working normally, then he said to Lao Chen: "Is it you or me?"
"It's better for my people to distribute it. If you don't know the radio code book, it's all in vain!"
At this time, Commander Chen seemed to have remembered that Zhang Tianhao could send the message, but he did not have the code book, so he still had to wake up his own people.
"Okay, you go ahead and call me. I'll send you a message here to remind you."
"Um!"
Zhang Tianhao turned on the radio, then adjusted the band and frequency, and then sent the message directly to Yan'an.
Yan'an also quickly received Zhang Tianhao's telegram.
It can be said that Minister Li has not slept well these past few days. After all, the matter this time is a bit too big.
"Report, Minister, urgent call No. 2!"
Just as I was dozing off, there was a knock on the door and an angry report.
"Emergency call No. 2!"
With a sudden move, Lao Li jumped up from the big chair, almost knocking over the table and flying out.
"Xiaoyu, come in!"
"yes!"
Xiaoyu opened the door, walked in with the telegram, and handed it directly to Lao Li, who was rubbing his eyes.
"What's going on with No. 2?"
"No. 2 asked, do we use foreign methods to help them reduce stress?"
"Ah, how did No. 2 know that we use foreign methods to help them relieve stress?"
When Lao Li heard this, he suddenly woke up. He looked blankly at the telegram in his hand and asked a question with some stuttering.
