Just when Zhang Tianhao was sitting there in a daze, he saw Commander Chen's correspondent running directly in front of him and saluted.
Zhang Tianhao also immediately returned the gift.
At the same time, he touched his head, opened his mouth slightly and asked, "Why did Commander Chen ask me to come over?"
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I don't know either!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhang Tianhao followed the correspondent and walked towards a few people not far away. After all, he also wanted to know what Commander Chen meant.
…
Inside the Taiyuan headquarters, the Japanese commander in Taiyuan was looking at the telegram that had just been sent in the morning, with a gloomy expression on his face.
More of a puzzle, after all, the Eighth Route Army forced the train to stop last night.
"Have you checked it? Is there any damage to the bus?"
"There is no loss, but there is one strange thing, that is, the contents of the train car hanging at the end have been emptied."
"Check it, check it for me, it must be found out. What is it that they emptied out of the last train?"
"Commander, we have already passed through Peiping. They just have some bowls and a stove for making fire for cooking. There is nothing else."
"Baga, how could it be possible that these things were evacuated and sent from Peiping? Do you think we are all fools?"
"I've checked it all, and it's true!"
At this time, the Colonel of the Military Police also stood up and said seriously: "One of our agents also followed behind and checked. They are all these things, and many of them have been damaged."
"When he was in Taiyuan the night before yesterday, he called me. He just felt that Mr. Zhang was a little weird. After all, he did not compete for money in business, but he went to all the trouble to get it from Peiping to Quxian. The result is now like this."
"For this reason, I asked him to follow him to Qu County. As a result, we checked and found that he was missing. I suspected that he was dead. He was a senior agent who had been in China for more than ten years."
"Have you checked that Mr. Zhang?"
"I checked, but nothing was found. Moreover, when he bought the goods, he bought them under the imperial name of Waseda Hideyama, and they were still shipped on the train."
"It's just that we checked all the subjects of this country in Peiping, but they haven't been found yet. This will take time!"
"Baga, this person must be a fake. People from the empire will never betray the empire. Check, we must find out this person who has shown off his beauty early."
"Hi!"
"Besides, is a regiment of the Eighth Route Army just here to move these stoves? Are you kidding me?"
"Also, where did this regiment of the Eighth Route Army come from? Let me check it now. What is the real intention of this Eighth Route Army?"
"Hi!"
"Report, we found a small group of the Eighth Route Army on the road south of Xiaoyi yesterday, about the strength of a company, but they seemed to have known that we were going to pass by, and laid a lot of mines there. They fired for about a quarter of an hour.
They all retreated and retreated directly south."
"anything else?"
The commander's face became gloomy one after another as he listened to the reports from the people below.
"Actually, it's nothing, but the Eighth Route Army over in Yan'an already has about four regiments on the move, heading towards several of our predetermined goals."
"As for where we are now, we don't know yet."
"Baga, check, we must check this out, and this regiment that suddenly appeared, check it out for me, we must check it out, there are so many Eighth Route Army troops in our defense area, we don't know how they appeared
Come on, this is all your dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty."
"I'm sorry, Commander!"
"Now is not the time to say sorry. Find out for me. Where did this regiment of the Eighth Route Army go? You have to find out for me."
As he spoke, he directly drew a circle on the map, and then growled in a low voice with a gloomy face.
Obviously, he was also a little confused by the inexplicable operation of the Eighth Route Army.
"Hi!"
…
"Mr. Zhang, let's take a look at the situation here. We have just received news that a Japanese army of about two brigades in the south is heading towards Anjiagou. Should we wait now or pass quickly."
"I think we need to rest now. We must rest. You have not rested for two days and two nights. At the same time, eat something to replenish your strength. Otherwise, you will not have the strength even to fight."
"In addition, it is estimated that there will be Japanese troops stationed in Anjiagou. The purpose of our whereabouts is to keep secret, not to have a direct conflict with the Japanese troops. Our successful arrival in Yan'an is our victory."
Zhang Tianhao calmed down his thoughts before speaking calmly.
"According to the marching speed of the Japanese army, we can't outrun the Japanese army. We might as well save our energy. Although we can resist the Japanese army in two brigades, we will kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred ourselves. This is not what we want.
.”
"Then where do you think you can rest?"
"Rest in the woods six to ten miles away from Anjiagou, and keep a lookout two kilometers away at the same time, so as to have a timely response."
"It is estimated that we can only walk in the afternoon. We still have five kilometers to go. We may not be able to walk there at night. We may have to turn south instead of going directly to the west."
"And the Japanese are not fools. He will discover our whereabouts. It is very likely that in the afternoon, these Japanese soldiers will discover our whereabouts. After all, we have left many traces where we have walked."
"Our current goal is to get rid of the Japanese army's pursuit and not give the Japanese army a chance to surround us. Therefore, I suggest taking Songjiagou, then directly crossing this area, taking Majiashan, and then heading west."
Zhang Tianhao looked at the map and said seriously.
"Only when we enter the mountains can the Japanese be confused as to what our purpose is."
Commander Chen and others were confused after listening to Zhang Tianhao's analysis. After all, if they walked this way, they would have to walk at least thirty or forty miles more, and there was also a quite mountainous section of the road.
"However, the speed of our march will be greatly slowed down, making our march more difficult. Most importantly, we will not be able to reach the headquarters early."
At this time, Political Commissar Wang also put forward his own opinions.
"No, compared with safety, it is nothing for us to suffer a little. As long as we are safe, we will reach the headquarters sooner or later."
"In addition, when we pass by, we can hand over some of the wounded to local organizations so that they can develop locally and reorganize into a company or even a battalion, leaving some revolutionary seeds in the local area."
"After all, these wounded are not really injured, but are tired and their bodies can't keep up. There is nothing we can do about it. Now our goal is to complete the mission and put the others in a row."
When Commander Chen heard this, he also took a deep breath.
After all, there are not a few who stay like this. At least one battalion of troops will be left behind, which will reduce the number of troops a lot.
"Commander Chen, this is all a small matter. After we go there, how long do you think it will take for you to come back? It is estimated that it will take a whole month of rest, which is already a lot, so they are just recuperating, and then we will return
Wouldn’t it be enough to recruit them back?”
He glanced at Political Commissar Wang and others and said seriously.
Commander Chen also thought deeply and couldn't help but nodded.
