Looking at the telegram in his hand, Liu Hua fell into deep thought, "Order all investigators not to let the Japanese cavalry target them, and inform the political commissar that the chief of staff will come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately."
Soon, the two partners arrived at the headquarters, and at the same time, the political commissar ran in excitedly with two telegrams in his hands.
"Brigadier, good news, the central government and headquarters have called." He said, waving the telegram in his hand.
Liu Hua was stunned. The central government called back, "Show me quickly." Liu Hua reacted immediately.
"I completely agree with your ministry's opinion. It is proposed that your ministry has recently been active along Zhengtai Road, harassing enemy logistics troops in large numbers and supporting the national army on the front battlefield. However, we must avoid direct conflicts with the Japanese army. They mainly focus on guerrilla warfare. If there is a large-scale
The decisive battle must be reported to the headquarters for approval before it can be implemented. When the opinions of the party committee are not unified, Comrade Liu Hua’s opinions will prevail." Looking at the reply from the central government, Liu Hua was excited. You must know that throughout the Anti-Japanese War, Liberation
During the war, there were very few telegrams sent by the Chairman in his own name. It seems that the Chairman trusted him very much...
After finishing his excitement, Liu Hua turned to the topic. "You should all know the political commissar, chief of staff, and the central government's telegrams. Now take a look at this piece of information." Liu Hua handed a piece of information in his hand to the political commissar.
Before he finished reading, the political commissar's brows furrowed. After both of them read the telegram, Liu Hua asked, "What do you think of this matter? Now the enemy is searching for our whereabouts everywhere, but the telegram from the Central Committee requires us to do our best."
Increase the harassment of the enemy's logistical supplies. As soon as we show our heads, I estimate that we will immediately attract a large number of Japanese to retaliate."
After listening to Liu Hua's words, the two of them did not speak and smoked quietly.
"Brigadier Commander, if we are discovered by the enemy, the maximum number of troops the enemy can dispatch to deal with us." The political commissar raised his head.
"Liu Hua glanced at the enemy distribution map on the map and said: "There are only three Japanese squadrons left in Banqiao's one brigade. Banqiao is estimated to be able to send out two squadrons, and Walnut Garden can send out one squadron of infantry and one squadron of soldiers.
Cavalry. The other ground rebels are too far away, I guess there are four squadrons of Japanese." Liu Hua looked at the political commissar who had been staring at the map and replied.
Suddenly, Liu Hua's eyes lit up. The enemy only had four squadrons with about 1,000 people, while he had more than 8,000 people. "Bah!" The two of them banged the table at the same time.
"Political Commissar, you speak first." Liu Hua said with a smile. The Political Commissar did not speak, but made a downward movement. Liu Hua looked at the Political Commissar and nodded.
"Chief of Staff, call the staff immediately to formulate a plan to lure the enemy deep and annihilate them all. The specific location to annihilate the enemy is Changshengkou." Liu Hua immediately ordered to the Chief of Staff next to him.
The next day, Chief of Staff Li Qing handed a combat plan to Liu Hua and the political commissar. After reading the combat plan, the two of them applauded at the same time. Isn't this the classic strategy of "siege the city and call for reinforcements?" Liu Hua
I strongly agree with this combat plan.
"Staff Wang, please inform all cadres at the battalion level and above to come to the meeting as soon as possible." After saying that, he sat down with his two partners and began to discuss the specific details of the operation. When all the cadres came to report, a three-person meeting
The complete battle plan discussed appeared in the hands of several regiment commanders.
"Okay, the battle plan in your hands is what we need to implement these two days. I will just say a few words. Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee personally sent us a telegram agreeing to our request to establish a base along Zhengtai Road. However,
The Japanese will not give in. Today’s battle will determine whether we can gain a firm foothold in the local area and complete the tasks assigned to us by the Party Central Committee. Therefore, you must fight this battle with a hundredfold energy. I can say that this battle will be successful.
If we win the battle, we will stay. If we lose, we will have no choice but to leave. One more thing, we must use firepower to minimize the casualties of the troops. That's all I have to say. Now let's give the political commissar a speech." Liu Hua.
After he finished speaking, he started clapping.
The political commissar stood up and waved his hand, "Comrades, the brigade commander has already said what needs to be said. We just held a celebration party yesterday. I hope we can hold another celebration party tomorrow night. Thank you all."
After saying that, he sat down.
"Okay, except for leaving certain guard posts today, all troops will rest and conserve their strength. We must pay attention to the food of our comrades. We will start to act according to their respective tasks at eight o'clock in the evening. The meeting is adjourned."
In the evening, the troops had a good meal. After receiving a telegram from the intelligence agent that the Japanese had withdrawn their troops, the entire independent brigade immediately began to take action. The troops were divided into two groups. The political commissar led a regiment and the artillery battalion mountain artillery battery to attack Walnut.
Park set off, preparing to launch a feint attack at four o'clock in the morning. Liu Hua, Chief of Staff, led the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment, the artillery battalion, the guard battalion, the reconnaissance battalion, the sniper company, and the supply battalion began to assemble towards Changshengkou, ready to launch an attack on the Japanese reinforcements at any time.
A fatal blow, leaving the new regiment to hold on to the camp and guard supplies.
In the dark night, the two troops quietly rushed to their destination. In the dark night, like two long dragons, after several hours of rapid march, the main force led by Liu Hua arrived at Changshengkou after an ambush.
On the battlefield, it had been two days since the last ambush. There was nothing on the battlefield except some bullet casings and stains of blood.
Under Liu Hua's order, the troops began to transform their positions to address the shortcomings of the last ambush battle. At the same time, the size of the Japanese ambushed this time also changed from one reinforced squadron to two reinforced squadrons, so the positions must be enlarged on the original basis.
At a distance of nearly one mile, the soldiers were desperately digging trenches and bunkers under the call of their respective instructors and others to "shed a drop of sweat, shed a drop of blood." This was especially true for the soldiers of the artillery battalion.
After coming out of the position, the shooting coordinates were measured bit by bit and recorded one by one.
At the same time, the group marching towards the Walnut Orchard also arrived at the outskirts of the Walnut Orchard at four o'clock in the morning. At this time, there were only sporadic lights in the Walnut Orchard. Without thinking, the political commissar knew that they must be Japanese sentries and patrols...
"Order the mountain artillery company to immediately build an artillery position. The first battalion will attack from the front, the second battalion will attack from the rear, and the third battalion will serve as a reserve to protect the artillery position. The troops will be in place immediately. The attack will begin at five o'clock in the morning. Now start the watch." Political Commissar.
He ordered immediately.
As the clock kept ticking, the time for the attack was getting closer and closer. It was already dawn, and the outline of the low wall of the walnut orchard had already appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Prepare artillery fire." The artillery company commander issued the order, and eight mountain cannon shells were put into the barrel. The soldiers next to him immediately retreated, waiting for the company commander's final order. Finally, the time came. "Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," eight artillery shells accurately landed in Walnut Garden City, and four even accurately landed on the low city wall, blooming four gorgeous flowers. At the same time, several heavy shells
