A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Tianhao received the telegram.
Then he quickly put away the radio and looked at Commander Chen seriously.
"Commander Chen, we are in trouble. Let the comrades get up and evacuate immediately. If my guess is correct, Itamoto's division has already been dispatched and is heading towards several county towns."
"If we are slow, we will collide with them and probably wipe out all the two or three thousand of us. They are a division, not a division or a regiment."
"Reply?"
Commander Chen was also stunned and asked seriously.
"One word: yes!"
"ah!"
Commander Chen never expected that Zhang Tianhao's telegram would be responded to so quickly. This was different from what he imagined.
But Commander Chen stood there again, his brain working rapidly, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
After all, he wasn't sure whether Zhang Tianhao had really contacted Yan'an and so quickly.
He stood there, and after about ten minutes, he saw his correspondent running over with a message in his hand.
He quickly took it over and looked at it.
Then I saw that there was only one word in the message: Yes!
Commander Chen was a little shocked when he saw this dichotomy. At the same time, he looked seriously at Zhang Tianhao, who was standing opposite him.
"Mr. Zhang, you are amazing!"
"After the announcement, everyone immediately packs up their things and retreats immediately. At the same time, the fifth company is dispatched to conduct reconnaissance directly to the front in a fan shape."
"Everyone is 200 meters away from each other so they can see each other. If there is a problem in the front, those behind will retreat immediately and report directly."
"yes!"
As Commander Chen issued the order, he saw a large number of soldiers being woken up from their sleep. Then he rubbed his eyes, without even having time to wash his face, and directly assigned manpower to start carrying them and prepare to leave.
And over there, there were even more harrassing horses and carrying them. The troops of the third battalion were able to barely take away all the supplies.
Even so, everyone is a little tired and their steps are a little hurried.
After less than an hour of rest, there was nothing anyone could do.
As the team continued to move forward, it was just that the mountain road was not that easy to walk. Although they were only walking at the foot of the mountain, it was still quite strenuous to walk.
"Commander Chen, if possible, I suggest arranging two companies of troops to directly build some mines or trip mines on these roads. This can greatly reduce the marching speed of the Japanese army."
"In addition, if the time is right, we can shoot the Japanese army directly in the forest. After two shots, we have to change places. Otherwise, according to our speed, we may just collide with the Japanese army."
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"This is not a coincidence. According to what you said, after receiving the order from inside, I calculated the time and found that it is very likely that we will collide directly. Therefore, if we want to pass safely, we must stop the Japanese army's marching speed. What do you think?"
Zhang Tianhao made calculations as he walked. When he thought his thinking was mature, he began to put forward his own opinions to Commander Chen.
"This, this..."
Commander Chen did not expect that Zhang Tianhao would think so far-reaching, and could not help but look at Zhang Tianhao carefully again.
"You command a large-scale battle?"
"No, but I have assisted, made suggestions, and formulated combat plans. I think my identity is top secret. I believe Commander Chen knows it, right? Only the two of you know. This is the most sincere thing I can say."
Zhang Tianhao whispered something in his ear, and then stepped aside again.
As for what Commander Chen chooses next, that's up to him.
"Command a large-scale battle!"
It can be said that there are very few people who can carry out large-scale battles, definitely not battles involving one or two regiments, but at least ten divisions or more.
But when Zhang Tianhao said this directly, he really couldn't think of who the other party was for a moment.
Now his surname is Zhang, and as for his face, I have never heard of him.
Of course, if Zhang Tianhao removes the disguise from his face, then most people who have read the newspaper will probably recognize him.
After all, the price of the bounty on his head is too high, and it's a bit ridiculously high.
He took a deep breath. Even he had never directed him, and even he had to pay attention to the sudden appearance of such a person.
The identity of such a young man is definitely not simple.
If you can reveal so much to him, you must treat him as one of your own. The most important thing is that the other party's status on the opposite side is definitely very high.
"Um!"
Commander Chen once again followed Zhang Tianhao and started walking forward.
When the sky dimmed again, Zhang Tianhao looked at the sky, with a trace of fatigue on his face. But it was just a trace.
The tired look on the faces of Commander Chen and others became even stronger.
As for the gunfire heard in the middle of the night, no one mentioned it, but Commander Chen knew in his heart that this time it was just a step too fast. If he had been a step slower, he might have really hit him.
You must know that the distance between the Japanese army and them is less than five miles.
It was five miles away, and in front of it was a company that had set up mines and the like.
If you were later, you might be targeted by the Japanese army. Even if they ran over, they would still have sweat on their foreheads.
This sweat really made him admire Zhang Tianhao in his heart.
"Report!"
At this moment, a correspondent in front ran over, saluted Commander Chen, and said loudly: "Report to Commander, our leading troops are almost at Anjiagou. The First Battalion has sent a request for instructions whether to enter Anjiagou."
?”
"Anjiagou?"
Zhang Tianhao also recalled it quickly in his mind, and at the same time, his expression became serious.
"Xiao Zhang, what do you think?"
"The urgency is over now. If we are more anxious, it will be counterproductive. We want to give the Japanese the illusion that we are in a hurry, and then the Japanese army will definitely speed up their march."
"And Anjiagou is an important stronghold. It is very likely that the Japanese troops retreating to Zhongyang are heading in the direction of Anjiagou."
"They are not in a hurry. If we are in a hurry, then we will stop. If they are in a hurry, then we will have to slow down. Therefore, we are not rushing forward now, but slowing down and leaving the front camp about five miles east of Anjiagou.
Rest in the woods around here and be sure not to make a sound. If nothing happens, a Japanese brigade should pass by here, maybe even more."
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, are you a little worried?"
"No, if it is the Japanese, they will never let go of this opportunity, and they are likely to establish a stronghold in Anjiagou to directly block our army. This can buy other troops time."
"The problem now is that we cannot be exposed. It is obvious that we are hiding and the Japanese are hiding. Once this is reversed, we will not even know how to die!"
"oh!"
As soon as Commander Chen heard this, he said something to the correspondent and held a meeting with several people to determine the next action.
After all, it was difficult for him to make judgments over Anjiagou. He could only discuss with the deputy commander, political commissar, and several chief officers what to do next!
Now it's a question of whether it's urgent or slow. If it's urgent, it's still a rapid march. If it's slow, it can give the troops time to rest and adjust!
But Zhang Tianhao has nothing to do with the choice. He just needs to wait for the results of these people.
