"Oh my God, there are so many..." Before he read the specific numbers in the supplies list, Mr. Peng exclaimed. His right hand holding the supplies list began to tremble. Even the Chief of Staff, who had been busy next to the sand table, heard this.
After Mr. Peng's exclamation, he put down his work, came to Mr. Peng's side and began to read.
When they were looking at the list of supplies, their expressions were constantly changing. When they finished reading the list, smiles appeared on their lips. It was obvious that this smile came from their hearts.
"Captain Guo, are all the numbers above true?" President Peng asked tentatively.
"Yes, Comrade Chief, there are a total of 300 gold bars, 12 heavy machine guns, 6,000 rounds of bullets, 12 mortars, 1,200 rounds of artillery shells... 36 grenade launchers, and 1,800 rounds of grenades." Guo Ziming treasured the materials he escorted.
He told the two excited chiefs in front of him.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, now that's it. With the addition of these weapons, the combat effectiveness of our guard regiment will not be as simple as raising one level. There is also so much gold, and now our military expenditures have been secured. Maybe we can also
Is there any leftover?" Mr. Peng slapped the table and said excitedly.
"Company Commander Guo, please tell your commander that President Peng and I thank him. When he comes to the headquarters, President Peng and I will treat him to dinner." As the chief of staff, Zuo Quan saw the smile on President Peng's face.
He also answered with a smile.
"Yes, Comrade Chief, I will definitely convey this sentence to our commander." Guo Ziming saluted and replied.
"Well, Captain Guo, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, you go down first and take the soldiers to the headquarters for dinner. You have come a long way, and our headquarters should also express your gratitude." President Peng said happily.
"Reporting to the two chiefs, there is one more thing. The commander asked me to personally deliver a letter to you." Guo Ziming looked around and replied.
"Uh, what's the letter? Show it to me." At this time, Mr. Peng really hoped that Liu Hua could give him another surprise and said quickly. After saying that, he saw Company Commander Guo undressing his cotton uniform and taking off his clothes.
An envelope with a warm body was taken out from the crack of the pocket.
"Mr. Peng, from the Chief of Staff..." Seeing these words on the envelope, Mr. Peng's face immediately became serious.
"Comrades, you all go out first. Company Commander Guo, you also take the soldiers to eat first, and then come to the headquarters after eating. Staff Officer Wang, take the soldiers of the independent division to the cooking class for lunch." Mr. Peng was not in a hurry.
He opened the envelope and ordered other personnel in the headquarters to retreat temporarily.
"Mr. Peng, what's going on? It's so hidden..." the chief of staff asked suspiciously when he saw the last guard leaving the headquarters closing the door of the headquarters.
"Chief of Staff, Liu Hua requested that only the two of us can see this letter. I guess Liu Hua has some good battle plan in mind... Come, let's study it together." President Peng said, opening the envelope.
, took out a dozen manuscripts filled with words.
"Battle plan..." After seeing the title of the manuscript, the two of them immediately became interested and began to study it seriously. At the same time, while studying, they pointed around on the map.
"Haha, Mr. Peng, Liu Hua is very courageous. If we follow his battle plan and there are no major accidents, then Baoding County will definitely be captured. Now when I think of the mountains of supplies in Baoding County,
My mouth is watering!" After reading Liu Hua's battle plan, the chief of staff first agreed with it.
"Well, you are very courageous and mobilized a total of 8 regiments to attack Baoding County. As long as the arrangements are careful, it will be completed." Mr. Peng also answered in the affirmative.
"However, eight regiments fighting 15,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and also attacking a well-defended county town, is a bit risky... I think that the casualties of the soldiers will be very huge!" Mr. Peng was very happy.
Kuai said worriedly.
"Mr. Peng, I think you are a little too worried. Think about it, that kid Liu Hua is so weird. Look at him, when has he ever fought a losing battle? Just relax!" the chief of staff smiled.
said.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, you mean that you agree with Liu Hua's battle plan." President Peng asked.
"Yes, I agree. If we can really capture Baoding, on the one hand, we can let the people across the country know that our Eighth Route Army is not just wandering around without attacking. On the other hand, the countless ammunition and materials hoarded in Baoding County are also the reason why our Eighth Route Army is now
Continuing, since the Japanese army occupied the entire North China, our Eighth Route Army basically relied on captured ammunition. Now that so much ammunition is placed in front of us, we have to collect it." The chief of staff expressed his opinion.
"Okay, since the chief of staff agrees, I agree too. All plans are in accordance with the actions in Liu Hua's battle plan. All two regiments of the 129th Division are under the command of Liu Hua, the independent division. In addition, all guerrillas around Baoding are also under the command of Liu Hua.
We must all be at Liu Hua's disposal, and we will accompany Liu Hua to fight a big battle against the Japanese army." Mr. Peng said with high spirits.
"Mr. Peng is so courageous. Let's reply a letter to Liu Hua. Before the battle starts, it's best not to use the radio." The chief of staff couldn't help but admired.
"I agree..." Just like that, Liu Hua's battle plan was approved by the headquarters without any twists and turns.
A few days later, the independent division headquarters.
"Report…"
"Come in..." Liu Hua ordered, and at the same time, he raised his head.
"Ah, it's Captain Guo, you're back..." Liu Hua was excited when he saw Captain Guo Ziming standing in front of him, who was going to the headquarters to escort supplies.
"Report to Commander, the guard regiment has successfully completed its mission. This is a reply from the head of the headquarters." Guo Ziming replied.
"Okay, you have worked hard. I will definitely give credit to your comrades in the first company when the time comes." Liu Hua took the envelope and replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Commander. Commander, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Hearing that the Commander would collectively mark the merits of his troops, Guo Ziming really wanted to run back to the station now and tell his soldiers the good news.
.
"Well, you go back. By the way, when you go out, inform the political commissar and chief of staff to come to my place. Just say that I have important things..." Liu Hua nodded and ordered.
"Yes, Commander..."
Looking at the back of Guo Ziming as he left, Liu Hua slowly opened the envelope and saw that in addition to his battle plan, there was also a reply letter signed by President Peng and the Chief of Staff.
"Comrade Liu Hua: The Chief of Staff and I have read your battle plan. After our research, we believe that as long as there are no accidents, your battle plan... In addition, there is the contact information of the 129th Division in the envelope. Regarding
For specific command issues of the troops, you can discuss them directly with Commander Liu. In addition, I wish you a complete success in this campaign and bring out the momentum of our Eighth Route Army. Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army Peng Dehuai. Deputy Chief of Staff, Zuo Quan...?"
After reading Mr. Peng's reply, Liu Hua couldn't help but feel excited, with a silly smile on his lips. Nothing changed until the political commissar and the chief of staff walked into his office.
"Commander, what happened, I hope you are happy." The political commissar reminded him when he saw Commander Liu Hua sitting on a stool and smiling stupidly.
"Well, political commissar and chief of staff, you are here and I am making you laugh." Liu Hua suddenly realized and replied sheepishly,
"Commander, what are you happy about? I see you are happy." the chief of staff asked with interest.
"Haha, political commissar and chief of staff, you will know after reading this letter." As he said that, Liu Hua handed the reply from President Peng to the political commissar in front of him.
"Commander, the headquarters has agreed to our plan. That's great. After holding back for so long, we can finally fight again." After reading the content of the reply, the chief of staff, standing behind the political commissar, became excited before the political commissar could speak.
said.
"Haha, not only did they agree to our battle plan, they also asked the 129th Division to cooperate with us. Haha, you see, this is the contact information with the 129th Division...'" Liu Hua smiled and waved the code book in his hand.
.
"Great, if we have the cooperation of the 129th Division, we will definitely be able to take Baoding..." The chief of staff, who knew Liu Hua's battle plan, said excitedly.
"Commander now has an order from the headquarters. When are you going to set off? How many people will you take?" the political commissar also asked with a smile.
"Political Commissar, it's the same as before. You stay in the base area. I, the Chief of Staff, will bring the artillery regiment, the cavalry regiment, the quick reaction brigade, plus the cooperation of the Third Army divisional troops and several regiments of the 129th Division operating around Baoding.
, the total strength is no less than eight regiments. As for the specific departure time, it depends on the preparations of the soldiers and each unit? Political Commissar, what do you think?" Liu Hua replied.
"I agree with your plan. You can also bring the special operations brigade with you. It is enough to leave a guard regiment around our headquarters." The political commissar nodded.
"Thank you, political commissar. After the chief of staff and I leave, you will have to worry about the affairs in the base area again." Liu Hua replied sheepishly.
"You kid, why are you being polite to me, a big brother? Really, it's decided. In the name of the headquarters, we will send electricity to all participating troops to prepare them for battle and be ready to go at any time..." Political Commissar
Speaking as a big brother.
"Okay, Chief of Staff, you give orders to each unit. I will go to the Houshan Arsenal in the next two days. I will leave the headquarters to you for the time being. I will come back in two days." Liu Hua said with a smile. In fact, Liu Hua
In the battle plan, Liu Hua did not write down one battle detail. This battle mode has been in Liu Hua's mind for a long time. The reason why he did not write it down is because the current independent division does not have this kind of equipment.
"Commander, go to the arsenal? You don't know any engineering skills. Wouldn't going to the arsenal cause trouble?" the chief of staff who was assigned the task replied dissatisfied. At the same time, the political commissar also showed doubts in his eyes.
"Two big brothers, I will only go there for two days. You will know in two days. This will play a very important role in the success or failure of our battle." Liu Hua answered affirmatively.
"Then you go ahead. The preparations before the war are left to me and the chief of staff. I don't know what you are thinking, you are so mysterious." After hearing Liu Hua's affirmative answer, the political commissar did not say anything.
What.
In this way, Liu Hua received several spare radio stations from the logistics department, and hurriedly walked to the arsenal on the back hill under the puzzled eyes of the political commissar and chief of staff.
Since Liu Hua paid a sudden visit this time and did not report the arsenal, after passing several tight blockades by the guard regiments, the cave where the arsenal is located appeared in everyone's sight. Before they could reach the entrance of the cave, they heard the sound of the cave.
The buzzing of the internal motor and the sound of metal clashing are constantly in my ears.
"You guys just wait outside with the radio. I can go in alone." Liu Hua ordered the guards behind him.
"Yes..." Upon hearing the commander's order, about a company of guard soldiers quickly dispersed from the cave entrance and entered a state of alert.
Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and entered the cave alone. After turning a corner of the cave, he entered a very large cave. The entire cave was brightly lit with lights, and several diesel motors were driving the machines.
It rotates rapidly, providing sufficient power to several machines in the arsenal.
Although the arsenal lacks copper ore, the entire bullet production line has stopped operating. However, soldiers are working on several other production lines, including grenades, mortars, and landmines. Liu Hua walked around the arsenal and finally found
Liu Bo, director of the arsenal, is instructing soldiers to install artillery shells.
"Director Liu, you are very busy..." Liu Hua shouted loudly behind him.
"Ah...Commander, why are you here..." When he heard someone calling him, Liu Bo quickly turned his head and looked at Commander Liu Hua standing in front of him in astonishment.
"What's wrong, I can't come... Haha, it seems that the soldiers are very motivated..." Liu Hua pointed at the soldiers who were working and said.
"Commander, no, I just thought you came suddenly without any preparation...Commander, what are you doing here today?" Liu Bo asked Liu Hua to a relatively quiet place.
"Well, there is something I need help from the comrades in the arsenal. Director Liu, I would like to ask if there are any soldiers or technical workers in the entire arsenal who are particularly proficient in radio. I hope he can help me modify a few radio stations.
Liu Hua nodded and replied.
"Yes, there is another person who used to be an expert in this field. I will call him for you right now. Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, come here..." Liu Bo shouted loudly to the busy workshop. Different
As soon as I met, I saw a polite technician wearing glasses running over.
"Director, what's the matter? I'm busy right now. The logistics department just sent two radio stations, and I'm repairing them now?" A young man named Xiao Wu complained to Liu Bo dissatisfied.
"Xiao Wu, we will repair it later. Look, who is here." Liu Bo pointed at Liu Hua behind him and said.
"Ah, Commander, how are you, Commander..." Seeing Liu Hua behind him, Xiao Wu became obviously cautious.
"Comrade Wu, hello! I asked Factory Director Liu to call you here because I want you to do a favor and help me modify a few radio stations. This will be of great help in our fight against the Japanese." Liu Hua shook his hand.
Xiao Wu's hand in front of him said.
"Commander, tell me, as long as it's to fight the Japanese, I'll risk my life to do it." Xiao Wu couldn't help but blushing when he heard that he was fighting the Japanese.
"Okay, Comrade Wu, the past is past. Then, you follow me." From Xiao Wu's expression in front of him, Liu Hua could tell that he and the Japanese army must have a very big hatred, and quickly comforted him, with
The two people came out of the cave.
"Commander, what do you need me to modify?" Xiao Wu asked in a much better mood after leaving the cave.
"That's right, Comrade Wu, you are an expert in radio. Think about it, can we use the radio to convert it into a large signal jammer? It can also be said to be a signal source. It emits a powerful signal and interferes in a certain area.
The internal enemy's signal transmission makes our enemy's radio station unusable. Of course, I don't know the specific plan. This is just an idea of mine. Whether it can be successful or not, I need your opinion..." Liu Hua simply introduced.
"Well..." After listening to Liu Hua's words, Xiao Wu began to think deeply, but within a minute, he nodded.
"Commander, I understand what you mean. According to the principle, this plan is feasible. However, in order to achieve such an effect, the radio station transmitting the signal must be a high-power radio station. In addition, we must also understand the communication signals of the Japanese army.
.In this way, we can send out the same signal as the Japanese army through our own high-power radio station. Because the radio station we send out the signal is very powerful, we will definitely be able to cover up the signal sent by the Japanese military radio station..." As a radio expert,
Xiao Wu quickly understood what the commander said and said it very professionally.
"Yes, it's what you said. How about it, Comrade Xiao Wu, is it possible to modify a radio station like this?" Liu Hua asked quickly.
"Commander, I can give it a try, but I need a high-power radio." Xiao Wu nodded and replied.
"Okay, it would be great if it can be modified. We have radio stations. Last time we attacked Jinzhong, we mixed up several high-power radio stations from the Japs' logistics warehouse, all of which were 60 watts. There was even a 50-watt radio station.
I brought all the power radios today, which one do you use..." Liu Hua said excitedly.
"Commander, of course, the greater the power, the larger the affected area will be after modification. As for the specific affected area, we still need specific experiments." Xiao Wu answered modestly.
