"What, the sweep is ahead of schedule?" Uncle Xiao was dumbfounded.
He Guangming didn't believe it and said, "Political commissar, this can't be possible, right?"
"What's not possible?" Wang Husheng said angrily, "How can I lie to you?"
"But." He Guangming scratched his head and said with a frown, "Didn't the regiment commander just blow up the Japs' arsenal? Most of the arsenals prepared by the Japs for this raid were also blown up. Shouldn't they?
Waiting for the arms to be replenished, why are we raiding in advance? This is illogical."
"There are so many illogical things in this world." Wang Husheng said, "Otherwise, how could our ancestors say that soldiers are deceitful? Also, when did Lao Xu use troops to follow logic?"
"That's true." He Guangming said, "The regiment commander never follows the routine when using troops."
Wang Husheng said: "The little devil has learned a lot, and he didn't play his cards according to the normal routine this time."
He Guangming said: "Political Commissar, what should we do now? How will we carry out the next anti-mopping up campaign?"
"Yes." Uncle Xiao said worriedly, "less than half of the tunnels in Guanxian County have been dug. With this little tunnel, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop the Japanese coming from the direction of Huainan."
"There is no need to block the situation. This time Lao Xu decided to take the initiative." Wang Husheng said.
He Guangming and Uncle Xiao were stunned when they heard this and took the initiative? Really or not.
Wang Husheng added: "Lao Xu has sent a telegram. He is now on his way to Guanxian. The specific battle plan will be drawn up after he arrives at Guanxian, but the general battle policy has been determined."
He Guangming and Uncle Xiao perked up after hearing this and asked, "What did the leader say?"
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu has decided that He Shuya will lead the Third Regiment in Pu County to hold back the 104th Japanese Division coming from Pukou, and the veteran will lead the garrison regiment in Shan County to hold back the Sixth Division coming from Feicheng.
, and then he personally led the first regiment, second regiment, cavalry battalion, guard battalion and artillery battalion to attack the Iida detachment coming from the direction of Huainan."
"Good guy!" He Guangming hit the knot hard and shouted, "This time I can finally do something big!"
"Old He, you must not act recklessly!" Wang Husheng said, "Old Xu specifically warned that before he arrives, you are absolutely not allowed to act without authorization, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law!"
"No." He Guangming quickly shook his head and said, "Absolutely not."
Not to mention, He Guangming just now had the idea of leading a group to fight before Xu Rui arrived. However, when Wang Husheng said this, he immediately gave up the idea. Xu Rui led the troops and became easy-going and followed
They are like brothers, but when they are strict, they are like the living king of hell. That is really disowning their relatives.
Wang Husheng nodded, and then said: "Hurry up and assemble the troops, seize the time to rest, and Lao Xiao, we must ask the cooking team to prepare more meat and vegetables. We are going to fight, and we must let the brothers have enough energy and physical strength.
Next, there will definitely be a fierce battle, and if you don’t have enough energy and physical strength, I’m afraid it will be difficult to hold on.”
He Guangming and Uncle Xiao agreed wholeheartedly, and then went happily. Watching He Guangming and his two brothers go away, Wang Husheng's face was full of worry. The Japanese raids were suddenly advanced, and the preparations for the Dameishan Military Division were far from complete.
Well, this adds infinite variables to this counter-sweep.

The county seat of Pu County, the headquarters of the Third Regiment.
When Yang Banan walked into the conference room covered in dust, he found that the commander of the eighth battalion Ding Li, the commander of the ninth battalion Lei Peng, and the commander of the third machine gun company Mo Zhengqiang had all arrived. The regiment leader He Shuya and the deputy regiment leader Huang Shouxin were sitting in the meeting.
There was a low-pitched discussion at the corner of the table, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room seemed a bit solemn, as if something big had happened.
Seeing Yang Banan coming in, He Shuya immediately stopped the discussion with Huang Shouxin and said: "Battle Commander Yang has also arrived. Now the meeting is officially held. I will first convey an order from the military division headquarters. The military division orders us to do whatever it takes to
Delay the Japanese 104th Division coming from the direction of Pukou for at least seven days!"
"Japs coming from the direction of Pukou?"
"Has the 104th Division been dispatched?"
"What's going on? The Japs' weapons have been blown up, and they still want to raid?"
"Did that old devil Nishio Hisao have his brain kicked by a donkey? Or was he flooded?"
The four battalion commanders, Yang Banan, Ding Li, Lei Peng and Mo Zhengqiang, looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
"Everyone, be quiet." Huang Shouxin knocked on the conference table and said, "According to the intelligence obtained by the military division, the Japanese will no longer wait for the base camp to replenish ammunition, but will launch a large-scale raid on our Dameishan military division in advance. To be sure,
The date is tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, the 104th Division, the 6th Division and the Iida Detachment will simultaneously launch a centripetal attack on our Dameishan Military Division from three different directions: Pukou, Feicheng and Huainan."
He Shuya continued: "The mission of our regiment is to defend Pu County for at least seven days!"
Yang Banan frowned and said: "Two captains, it's not that I have the power of the Japanese to destroy my ambition. With the plain terrain of Pu County, it will be difficult to stop the Japanese 104th Division for seven days. The 104th Division
The combat effectiveness may be relatively inferior, but no matter what, this is a full division with nearly 30,000 people!"
He Shuya shook his head and said: "Captain Yang, the situation may be more serious than you expected. Shouxin didn't make it clear just now. It was not only the 104th Division that rushed from Pukou, but also the 8th Independent Tank Regiment.
"
"What? The 8th Independent Tank Regiment?"
"Oh my God, a whole tank regiment?"
"A Japanese tank regiment seems to have nearly a hundred tanks!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Yang Banan, Ding Li and Lei Peng immediately changed. These three people were all from the Central Army and had fought against the Japanese chariot troops on the Songhu and Nanjing battlefields.
, so I am no stranger to tanks, and I also know how terrifying tanks are on the battlefield.
"So." He Shuya's cold eyes swept across the faces of Huang Shouxin and several battalion commanders, and said in a deep voice, "This is a major test for our third regiment. If our third regiment can pass this test,
From now on, there will no longer be any difficulty that can knock us down, and from now on we can pat our chests and say that we are the number one main force in the Dameishan Military Division!"
Yang Banan, Ding Li and Lei Peng exchanged glances, stood up at the same time and said: "Commander, give the order."
"Okay." He Shuya waved for the three of them to take their seats again, and then continued, "Now, I will arrange the specific combat missions of each battalion and the cannon company. The 104th Division is coming fiercely, and there is a tank regiment to help.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the Japanese. Fortunately, after these days of intense construction, the tunnel has taken initial shape and is barely usable. I decided to use the tunnel network, supplemented by mines, to fight a huge battle with the Japanese.
A sparrow war on a grand scale.”

Shan County, Xiaowang Village in the east of the city.
Gao Chu carried a bucket of water and walked briskly into the landlady's courtyard.
Aunt Wang, who was picking soybeans in the yard, quickly got up and said repeatedly: "Oh, Captain Gao, why are you helping me carry water again? You said you have been digging tunnels for a long time, and you still want to help me carry water when you come back.
You must be exhausted, Captain Gao, don’t carry water for me anymore from now on.”
"It's okay." Gao Chu poured water into the water tank and said with a smile, "I'm not tired."
Aunt Wang quickly poured a bowl of hot water for Gao Chu and said with a smile: "Drink the water quickly."
Gao Chu was not polite, took the water bowl and drank it, then wiped his mouth and said: "Auntie, the water tank is full, the gap in the courtyard wall has been patched up, and the firewood has been chopped. Wait until tomorrow.
When the weather clears, I'll go up to the roof and help you turn over the tiles, and you'll be able to rest assured this winter, haha."
Aunt Wang said repeatedly: "Commander Gao, you said you are a regimental leader, you are so busy at work, and you still help me with these tasks, how embarrassed you must be."
"It's okay, ma'am." Gao Chu said with a smile, "This is what we should do."
When Gao Chu said these words and did these things, many middle-aged and elderly women gathered outside the hospital, pointing at Gao Chu, and some of them said strange things. However, most of them praised the Communist Party troops with one voice. This is true.
That's right, there has never been such an army in Chinese history.
Including Gao Chu, it has almost become their habit to help the local people with farm work after training.
Gao Chu left the Wang family amidst the pointing fingers of a group of middle-aged and elderly women, and prepared to go to the entrance of the village to continue digging tunnels. Gao Chu was different from He Guangming. Although Gao Chu was also from the Northwest Army, he originally had many old military habits, but this guy
His ideological remolding was faster and more thorough than that of He Guangming.
Now, Gao Chu's style is no different from that of the old Red Army.
However, Gao Chu had just arrived at the entrance of the village and before he had time to go down the well, he saw a fast horse galloping towards him. Then he quickly came closer. When he looked at it carefully, Gao Chu couldn't help being startled.
The man turned out to be Leng Tiefeng.
"Captain Leng!" Gao Chu quickly stood up and saluted, then said with a smile, "Why did you come to Shan County?"
Leng Tiefeng dismounted, threw the reins to Gao Chu's guard, and said: "Assemble the troops immediately, there is an urgent combat mission."
Gao Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Is there an urgent combat mission?"
"Yes." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "The situation has changed, and the Japanese raids have been advanced."
Gao Chu responded now, jumped three feet high, then turned around and shouted: "Communications class, urgent assembly!"
Soon, more than a dozen signal soldiers from the communications class rushed to Gao Chu. The squad leader organized the queue and reported: "Report to the leader, the communications class has assembled, please give instructions!"
Gao Chu waved his hand and said: "Immediately notify each battalion and company to gather at Xiaowang Village immediately!"
"Yes!" the communications squad leader responded with a bang, and then turned around to assign tasks, "You go to Dongzhuang to inform the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company, you go to Caodian to inform the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company, you go to Xiaoli Village to inform the 2nd Battalion and 5th Company..."
Soon, a dozen correspondents went separately on horseback.
