"Reporting to the political commissar and chief of staff, the range of influence of the 150-watt radio station is 5 kilometers, and the range of influence of the 60-watt radio station is 2 kilometers. However, if we use the three radio stations at the same time, their range of influence will exceed ten kilometers.
Scope." Wu Xin answered confidently.
"Okay, very good, Captain Wu, very good. I hope your electronic unit can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army on the battlefield and make meritorious service." The political commissar nodded excitedly.
It was already twelve o'clock in the night. In the mountains at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, a group of cavalry troops was slowly shuttling through the mountains and forests. Although there were countless torches for lighting among the troops, there were still many casualties.
The soldiers fell off their horses, but this was in a dense forest, and the thick thatch did not cause much damage to the soldiers.
Following the cavalry unit, slowly looking back, a unit of about one battalion was sandwiched between the cavalry units, carefully shuttling through the dense forest. No need to guess, the unit in this battalion is Liu Hua, the commander of the Independent Division.
, Chief of Staff Li Qing's two guard troops, and the remaining company is the soldiers of the newly formed electronic detachment in the base area. The cavalry troops in front and behind are of course the cavalry regiments responsible for security along the way.
This unit set out two days ago. Although the Japanese army has not made any major moves against the base area in the past few months. However, this does not mean that the Japanese army has relaxed its attack on the independent divisions of the Eighth Route Army gathered in the Jinyi base area. Except for
A large number of intelligence personnel were dispatched to infiltrate the base area and engage in espionage wars with the intelligence and security offices in the base area. Reconnaissance planes, fighter jets and other aircraft were constantly dispatched every day to search for important facilities and targets in the base area for bombing. More
The important thing is to find out the possible troop movements of the independent division and judge the possible battles of the independent division from the troop movements.
In order to prevent the Japanese Air Force from discovering the mobilization of the Independent Division troops and the purpose of the operation of the Independent Division, the soldiers had to fly day and night, avoid the detection time of the Japanese aircraft, and secretly reach the Third Army Division. It took two days.
It has passed. In the nights of the previous two days, the troops marched more than 150 miles. They successfully crossed two railway lines that were heavily defended by the Japanese army and arrived at the junction of the two provinces.
"Chief of Staff, map..." Liu Hua, riding on a war horse, said to the Chief of Staff next to him. At the same time, he walked to the side of the marching queue and stopped.
"Commander, you see, we have reached this position now. We are still about 100 miles away from the connection point discussed by Commander King of the Third Division. It is estimated that tomorrow night we will pick up the comrades from the Third Division.
Up there." The chief of staff spread out a map on the ground, took out the captured flashlight, and shined it on the map at the junction of Meng County and Fuping County.
"Well, Chief of Staff, most of us here are cavalry. They are marching very fast. We should have no problem reaching our destination on time. I'm just worried about the remaining troops. Although they set off in front of us, they carry too much supplies.
, It is difficult to speed up the march on such a rugged road, especially the artillery regiment, which is carrying Taoist robes and artillery shells. I am afraid that they will not be able to reach the designated position on time!" Liu Hua asked with a worried look on his face.
"Commander, according to our latest statistics on the marching situation of each regiment, there are a lot of situations. Look, should you send a telegram to each regiment and ask them to speed up the march!" Chief of Staff Li Qing suggested.
"No, we are marching in the dark. We cannot speed up any more, otherwise our troops will be regarded as non-combat casualties. In this way, you can send a telegram to each unit and tell them that we will give each unit an extra day to let them
You must arrive at the designated location on time!" Liu Hua ordered.
"Yes, Commander, I will send the report right away..." The chief of staff nodded in agreement with Liu Hua's opinion.
"Well, after sending the telegram, we will continue to set off and try to enter the Fuping County area before dawn. Otherwise, after dawn, there will be so many of us and we will not even have a hiding place." Liu Hua replied.
The next night, the troops were also racing against time. Since the troops had already entered the Fuping County area, which is the edge of the base area of the Third Army Division, there was no need for the troops to continue walking into the deep mountains and old forests, and they were walking on fairly flat mountain roads.
, the troops' marching speed unconsciously nearly doubled.
Next to the commander Liu Hua were also the chief of staff Li Qing, the commander of the cavalry regiment Wang Hu, and the captain of the electronic detachment Wu Xin. While everyone was discussing the current battle situation, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and they saw
A cavalryman rode a fast horse and ran towards his position.
"Commander, could something happen?" Looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer, the Chief of Staff Li Qing next to him frowned.
"I don't see it... Now that we have entered the base area of the Third Army Division, what else will happen?" Liu Hua thought for a while and said.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, he is Comrade Li Hao, the commander of the reconnaissance company of our cavalry regiment..." After seeing the appearance of the cavalrymen who came, Li Hao quickly wanted to introduce him to two people.
"Huh..." Soon, the cavalry stopped in front of everyone.
"Reporting to the commanders, the Cavalry Regiment's reconnaissance company has contacted the Third Army's divisional reconnaissance unit that came to meet them. Please give instructions to the commanders..." the cavalry company commander replied loudly.
"So quick, haha, hurry up, bring over the comrades from the third division who came to support us..." Liu Hua said happily.
Soon, the same cavalryman followed Captain Li just now and quickly came to Liu Hua and others.
"Reporting to the commanders, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Third Army Division has been ordered to come to the rescue and ask for instructions from the commander." The cavalryman responded with a military salute in front of Liu Hua and others.
"Ah, it's Lao Wang. Haha, I didn't expect that your boy became the commander of the cavalry battalion so quickly. Haha, you didn't disgrace our cavalry regiment." When he saw that the person who came to meet him was actually the one he stayed on.
Wang Hu, commander of the cavalry company in the third division, ignored the commander and chief of staff beside him and rushed to speak.
"Hey, Commander, do you still remember me? Here, Commander Wang takes great care of our cavalry and gives priority to replenishing our cavalry battalion. You see, in less than a few months, I have
Four companies of troops." The commander of the cavalry battalion on the opposite side replied sheepishly.
"Haha, not bad, I have learned a lot... Uh, by the way, I almost forgot, this is the commander of the base area, this is the chief of staff..." Only then did Wang Hu realize that he had forgotten the commander next to him, and saw the commander was
Looking at himself with a smile, he felt a chill in his heart, and quickly introduced him to the cavalry battalion commander in front of him.
"Report to the commander, comrade chief of staff, and the commander of the cavalry battalion of the third army division came to respond on the order of Commander Wang. Please give instructions to the two leaders..."
"Haha, I don't take the instructions seriously. I just heard what you said. You did a good job. In less than three months, the army has grown from one company to four companies. Very good. This time we are here to see your cavalry.
How is the battalion's combat effectiveness?" Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Yes, Commander, Chief of Staff, the cavalry battalion will definitely live up to your trust." The battalion commander replied quickly.
"Okay, Battalion Commander Wang, how far are we from your pickup point now!" Liu Hua quickly returned to the topic and asked.
"Commander, there is still about an hour to go. Commander Wang is now at the headquarters in Xiazhuang Township. Commander, please follow our cavalry battalion." Battalion Commander Wang replied.
"Okay, your cavalry battalion will lead the way." As he spoke, the troops began to move forward.
Sure enough, less than an hour after the army marched, a village with lights appeared at the front of the army. You know, at this time, and still in the mountains, there were only a handful of ordinary people who could light lights.
Number. In the village in front of us, there are indeed many houses with lights on. Needless to say, this is the headquarters of the Third Army Division.
"Chief, the headquarters has arrived...it seems like our commander and political commissar are at the entrance of the village..." Upon seeing the headquarters, the commander of the cavalry battalion, who had been following Liu Hua and others, quickly introduced them.
"Okay, comrades, work harder and get over there..." As he said that, Liu Hua sped up his horse.
"Division commander, chief of staff, you are here..." Before he reached the entrance of the village, he saw Wang Nanhu, with the political commissar and several cadre-looking comrades coming to greet him.
"Haha, Commander Wang, Political Commissar Chen...you have worked hard too..." Liu Hua jumped off the horse and held their hands.
"Division Commander, Chief of Staff, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year! Haha, anyway, we met today, and we will definitely have a good chat tonight. Also, the headquarters has prepared hot meals and dishes for the soldiers.
Soldiers, have a good rest. Tonight, let’s get drunk and have a good chat, and the chief of staff, Wang Hu... Come, come and have a drink with me..." Seeing the commander and chief of staff in front of him,
As well as his former comrades Wang Hu and Wang Nanhu couldn't help but burst into tears and said excitedly.
"Okay, let's get drunk tonight..." Chief of Staff Li Qing replied with a smile.
"Commander Wang, you immediately arrange for the soldiers of the cavalry regiment to camp. Be quick and ensure that every soldier has hot meals and hot vegetables to eat tonight. Also, stew all the injured mules and horses that were just killed today.
, let the soldiers satisfy their hunger...Commander, Chief of Staff, let's go in..." Wang Nanhu ordered to the Chief of Staff behind him, leading everyone into the village and to the headquarters of the third division.
Sure enough, as Wang Nanhu said, the headquarters had prepared meals. As soon as they walked into the gate of the headquarters, Liu Hua and others smelled the aroma of meat. The aroma of meat made them live on dry food for several days.
Liu Hua and others couldn't help but salivate.
"Political Commissar Chen, it seems that you have done a good job as a housekeeper. With such a good life, it seems that we must have a good meal tonight. Comrades, let's go and eat." Liu Hua smiled and opened Chen Revolution
joke.
"Haha, sir, you are joking. We are in a mountainous area here and we lack everything except meat. As long as you want to eat, you can eat it every day.'
In this way, under the leadership of Liu Hua, everyone had a good time. By the end of the banquet, except for the chief of staff Li Qing and the political commissar Chen Revolution, in order to prevent any accidents from happening suddenly in the base area, they did not dare to drink too much and only drank in moderation.
After a few sips, several other people were very drunk, especially Wang Hu, the leader of the cavalry regiment, who drank nearly a jar of old wine.
Since the chief of staff and the political commissar were in charge, the next day and until the afternoon, these drunken people got up from the bed unsteadily. When Liu Hua walked out of the room assigned to him, a gust of cool wind blew on his face.
, Liu Hua realized that it was already dusk of the second day, and the troops training outside were slowly gathering and heading towards their camps.
"Guard, guard..." Thinking that he had slept for a whole day in a daze. Thinking of the tense enemy situation he was facing now, Liu Hua couldn't help but feel annoyed. How could he be a guard?
Don't even wake yourself up.
"Ah, Commander, you're awake. I was about to wake you up for dinner?" Seeing the Commander getting up, the guard quickly said,
"How did you become a security guard? Why didn't you wake me up in the morning? Don't you know that delaying work for a day will delay a lot of things? What else are you having for dinner? Follow me to the headquarters immediately..." After hearing the guard
He even asked himself to go to dinner without mentioning work at all, which made Liu Hua even more annoyed.
"Yes, Commander..." The guard lowered his head aggrievedly and followed Liu Hua towards the headquarters. At this time, in addition to some staff members, the only other members of the entire headquarters were Chief of Staff Li Qing and political commissar Chen Gemini.
"I'm sorry, Chief of Staff, I'm late. I was too happy last night and drank too much, so I didn't get up today. Also, even the guard didn't wake me up. I just criticized him.
"Looking at the two people busying themselves, Liu Hua replied sheepishly.
"Commander, don't criticize Xiao Wang. I asked him not to wake you up. Anyway, there is nothing to do today. It's enough for me and Political Commissar Chen to sit at the headquarters." the chief of staff replied.
"Chief of Staff, that's it. No wonder, I thought when did Xiao Wang have such courage. Comrade Xiao Wang, I didn't understand the situation just now, so I criticized you casually. I'm sorry." Liu Hua was embarrassed.
He looked at the aggrieved guard behind him and said.
"By the way, Chief of Staff, you didn't ask me to get up. Did they also..."
"Yes, Commander, Commander Wang, and Commander Wang are all still sleeping? Haha, you are the only one who is up." Chief of Staff Li Qing smiled mysteriously.
"No, I've suffered a loss. Chief of Staff, Political Commissar Chen, you continue to work, I'm going to bed..." Liu Hua suddenly realized, and after saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave the headquarters. However, it was already too late, and the Chief of Staff's hand had already been grabbed.
to his own arm.
"Haha, Commander, since you're up, let's get to work? The leaders of the three main regiments in the third division have been waiting for you at the headquarters all afternoon. Since you are here, let's go and get to know each other. We must pass by
Future battles will require the cooperation of the three regiments," the chief of staff said with a smile.
"Oh, I really regret getting up so early. Xiao Wang, so are you. Since the chief of staff didn't let you wake me up, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Liu Hua, who was captured as a young man, nodded helplessly.
During dinner, Liu Hua and the chief of staff met with the political commissars of the first regiment, the second regiment, and the independent regiment of the third division respectively, and learned in detail about the current situation of the three regiments and the acceptable combat tasks.
.And notify that a combat mobilization meeting above the regiment level will be held at the temporary headquarters tomorrow morning and specific combat tasks will be assigned. All regiment-level cadres who can feel the headquarters tomorrow morning must participate.
The next morning, all the cadres who could come arrived as scheduled, including cadres above the regiment level of the third division, the artillery regiment, the cavalry regiment and the first regiment of the rapid response brigade... Looking at the dozens of cadres gathered together, Liu Hua couldn't help but
There was a burst of excitement.
"Comrades, I now declare that the meeting has officially begun. As for the content of this meeting, I believe that everyone is a senior commander of our army, so you should know that the content of the entire meeting must be kept strictly confidential before the battle begins." Staff Sgt.
Chief Li Qing stood up and said.
"Yes, what I want to say before the meeting starts is about the issue of confidentiality. The key to success in the battle we are discussing today is the issue of confidentiality. As long as all the regiment leaders and political commissars sitting here do not disclose it before the battle begins.
Once the purpose of the war is revealed, it can be said that our battle has achieved half the victory. Comrades, are you confident in completing the secret mission?" Liu Hua continued the words of the Chief of Staff.
"Yes..." dozens of people answered neatly.
"Okay, now the chief of staff will introduce to you the purpose and goals of our campaign, so that everyone can have a mental understanding!" After Liu Hua finished speaking, he sat down.
"Bah bang bang..." Chief of Staff Li Qing stood up amid applause.
"Comrades, first of all, what I want to explain to you is that the headquarters and the headquarters do not want to launch a war against Japan casually. There are certain reasons for this campaign, and it was carefully considered by the headquarters and the headquarters.
As for the reason, many of you here have been farmers, and you should know that it is time for spring plowing. However, due to the Japanese raids in winter, there has been a serious shortage of food in the base area, and now there is no way to produce excess food.
To grow grain. Who in the entire base area has so much grain? Needless to say, everyone knows that he is the little devil." Li Qing took a sip of water and continued.
"The headquarters and headquarters, in order to solve the two problems in the base area, and also to solve the food problem of our troops this year, decided to launch a large-scale war to grab food from the Japs."
"Okay, we should rob the little devils of food. Their food is all stolen from us. Why should they eat food when we are willing to eat wild vegetables? We should rob the little devils of food..." Before the chief of staff finished speaking, he sat down
A group leader below stood up excitedly and said.
"Yes, those who rob the little devils, let them experience the feeling of starvation and being robbed...00" When someone stood up to speak, the remaining cadres agreed.
