At this moment, the communications staff rushed in, also holding a telegram in his hand.
"Chief, the urgent telegram from the new regiment of Taiyue Military Region is an encrypted telegram. Only you can translate it!" After saying that, the communications staff officer handed a telegram full of numbers to the chief of staff.
At this time, a secret message was sent over. Something must have happened. The boss and chief of staff frowned instantly.
The chief of staff took the telegram, took out the code book he carried with him, and began to translate it.
After translating the message, the smile on the chief of staff's face disappeared and was replaced by a look of solemnity.
"Boss, Wang Ping reminded us of something in the message!"
"They captured Linfen, and the more than 7,000 Japanese who were raiding them lost their home base. They were worried that these more than 7,000 Japanese might just turn around and head north to enter the Taiyue Military Region!"
The boss quickly turned his attention to the map next to him, frowned and thought for a minute before rejecting: "They must not be allowed to enter Taiyue!"
"With more than 7,000 Japs entering Taiyue, the Japs who already had no advantage in Taiyue will definitely regain a lot of advantages, putting great pressure on Commander Chen and the others. If the Japs can seize the opportunity, they may even give Commander Chen
They deal a devastating blow!”
"Chief of Staff, give Wang Ping an order immediately to prevent these little devils from going to Taiyue at all costs!"
"Comrade Wang Ping has realized this!" the chief of staff replied, and then handed the translated message to the boss.
He continued: "He has already begun to mobilize his troops and is ready to stop these Japs at all costs. Even if he cannot kill them, he will find ways to severely injure them. However, just in case, he hopes that we will remind Commander Chen to prepare for the Japs to kill them.
Prepare!"
"However, he also said that if the Japanese invaded Taiyue with 5,000 men, he would lead 5,000 troops from Linfen to reinforce Taiyue!"
The boss' tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and he continued: "Since he has already thought about it, then do as he says. I believe in his ability!"
The Japanese army was stationed temporarily, and Fujino, who waited anxiously for two hours, finally received a call back from front army officer Okamura Neiji.
There is no doubt that Okamura Neji agreed to his proposal.
Since Linfen can't defeat the new group and become the breakthrough point for the entire sweep, let's set the breakthrough point at Taiyue, fight some beautiful annihilation battles in Taiyue, and severely damage the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue area!
"Chief of Staff, it is now two o'clock in the afternoon. The troops have rested for nearly six hours. They will rest for another two hours, then have dinner and set off on time at six o'clock in the afternoon!"
"It's 120 kilometers from here to Taiyue. Taking this highway is the shortest distance, but it also takes nearly 30 hours. We will set off tonight, rest for eight hours during the day tomorrow, and try to reach our destination at noon the day after tomorrow.
!”
What Fujino didn't expect was that in Songling Village, which is more than 20 kilometers away from him, a small village hidden in a large hilly and mountainous area, thousands of local garrison troops, guerrillas, and ordinary people gathered around, desperately digging trenches.
, build fortifications.
About ten kilometers away from the village, Rong Jun and Yan Song, with their troops that could still fight, a total of 3,000 people, dispersed into companies and platoons and marched towards Songling Village. In addition to weapons, ammunition and
One day's worth of dry food and nothing else!
"Old Yan, do you think the Japanese will really go this way?" Rong Jun, who was running beside Yan Song, asked with a worried look on his face.
"Very suspenseful!" Yan Song replied.
"The Japs have been in our base area for so long, and we have been fighting for so long without being able to figure out their real identity. Now suddenly an order came out saying that the Japs were going north, and we were asked to march quickly to Songling Village to stop them. Until now, I have no idea.
I don’t understand why the political commissar suddenly issued such an order!”
"Yes! This order came too suddenly. The soldiers were still resting, so they were woken up directly and followed by a long march of 20 kilometers!" Rong Jun replied with a look of approval.
"After so much effort, if the little devil doesn't take this path in the end, he will suffer a big loss!"
Yan Song shook his head and replied: "No matter, let's execute the order first!"
"With such a big operation and the mobilization of so many troops, the regiment commander must know that since the regiment commander has no objection, there is hope for this battle. I believe in the regiment commander's vision!"
At the new regiment headquarters, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang was very serious.
Standing in front of the huge combat sand table, motionless.
A combat staff officer next to him was pointing at the sand table and reporting the situation to him: "Political commissar, final information from the reconnaissance company: there has been no movement from the little Japs stationed here yet!"
"The progress here in Songling Village is very smooth. Because it is located in a mountainous area, the little devils did not pay attention to this place. Several times, the little devils' planes passed by here in a blink of an eye!"
"More than 4,000 people have worked together to build the position. Now one-third of the three trenches plus various individual bunkers and machine gun positions have been completed. There are still many people nearby who have been mobilized by local cadres for reinforcements. By 12 p.m.
Point, the total of the local troops, guerrillas, and ordinary people who built our positions there must be more than 10,000!"
Huang Yuanqiang's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he shook his head and replied: "The speed is still too slow!"
"Contact the troops and local cadres there. The construction and reinforcement of three trenches plus all individual bunkers and machine gun positions must be completed before ten o'clock in the evening!"
"Before dawn, build five more identical lines of defense and come out!"
"After daybreak, all the people will retreat. Local troops and guerrillas will stay and continue to build blocking fortifications, and strive to build three more!"
"It doesn't matter if the fortifications are shorter, but they must be deep and strong enough to withstand Japanese mortar bombardment without collapsing!"
"Okay, I will contact them now and complete at least eight of the same blocking positions before dawn. If they cannot be completed, we will continue to increase manpower!" the combat staff immediately replied.
Huang Yuanqiang then added: "Tell them that this is a fatal order given to them by the military branch and must be completed!"
As soon as this staff officer left, Huang Yuanqiang turned his attention to another combat staff officer.
"Is the Armored Assault Battalion ready? When will it set off?"
"Also, I asked Zhou Ze to choose the battlefield on this stretch of road. Where is the raid battlefield he finally decided on and whether he has a specific raid plan!"
"Battalion Commander Zhou just sent it over!" the combat staff immediately replied.
Point to a point on the map and answer: "Here!"
"The terrain here is flat, very suitable for armored vehicle raids!"
"Their combat plan is that after the Japanese soldiers arrive here, they will first bombard them to disrupt them. Under the cover of the sound of gunfire, the armored vehicles quickly approach the battlefield, and then while the Japanese soldiers are in chaos, they suddenly launch an attack!"
"But Battalion Commander Zhou has a request: they only have one mountain artillery company with six mountain artillery pieces. The number is too small and cannot be used to disturb the enemy. I hope the regiment headquarters will allocate all the mountain artillery companies of the 3rd and 4th battalions and the mountain artillery companies of the guard battalion.
Second him and form an artillery group!"
"As long as the shelling lasts for two minutes, the armored assault battalion can catch the Japanese by surprise and then retreat quickly!"
"Okay, you can contact me now and give the order!"
"Also, tell Zhou Ze that if the raid is successful, find a way to keep all the thousands of mules and horses carried by the Japanese baggage brigade for me, dead or alive!"
"Those mules and horses carry the Japanese ammunition supplies, so that even if they reach Taiyue, they will still be a group of exhausted soldiers who have run out of ammunition and food!"
