Chapter 424 Reinforcement of the Military Division
At the Hongquan Village Independent Battalion Headquarters, the person who came here the most in the past few days was He Wenlin.
As soon as Li Hao walked into the headquarters, he followed behind and reported.
"Battal Commander, according to the intelligence, the Japanese army will attack our base area within a few days!"
"What's the specific situation?" Li Hao asked seriously.
He Wenlin replied without thinking: "The Japanese and puppet troops started to make dry food yesterday!"
"The Imperial Alliance Army directly received half a month's combat supplies!"
"Ordinary soldiers have fifty rounds of bullets and two grenades on their bodies. Apart from attacking our base, I can't think of any other use for these ammunition!"
"That should be the last few days!" Li Hao agreed.
Then he turned his attention to Deputy Battalion Commander Hong Linfeng!
"Lao Hong, how is the car transport team I asked you to form? Can it hit the road?"
Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and replied: "After repairs, a total of eight cars are usable, but there is a little less oil!"
"After you gave the order, battalion commander, I have trained ten drivers. They are all ready to go on the road and can be used at any time!"
"That's good!" Li Hao said.
"Whether we can win this counter-mopping operation, these eight cars will play a very important role!"
"Where are the cavalry company and mountain artillery company? Are they ready?"
Hong Linfeng did not hesitate this time and immediately answered: "You can join the battle at any time!"
"Order……"
Li Hao's face suddenly became more serious than ever before, his eyes quickly shifted to the map, and then he began to issue orders.
"The four main companies will enter combat status immediately!"
"The guerrillas, strengthen patrols and vigilance in the base areas, and detain suspicious persons first before proceeding."
"Once the Japanese and puppet troops send out troops, all villages adjacent to the Japanese-occupied areas must be relocated as soon as possible, and the walls must be fortified to clear the country!"
"After determining the direction of the Japanese and puppet army's attack, all villages and towns around the Japanese and puppet army's attack route must be fortified and cleared. I will make sure that the Japanese will not be able to steal a grain of food in our base area, and they will not even be able to drink a sip of clean well water!"
"The guard company, cavalry company, mountain artillery company, and vehicle transport team are on standby, follow me at any time to reinforce the front line!"
"All radio stations in the communications platoon are activated. One is sent to the commando team and the reconnaissance platoon, one follows me, and one stays at the battalion headquarters. If there is any news, please contact us as soon as possible!"
"Tell the four main company commanders that the Japanese and puppet army's mopping up troops are likely to use tanks and mountain artillery. They will definitely not be opponents in a head-to-head fight."
"Once the troops are attacked by mountain artillery and tanks, I agree that they will voluntarily abandon their positions after causing certain casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops, and let the Japanese and puppet troops enter our base area!"
"However, no matter which company's position the Japanese army breaks through from, this company will slow down their attack at all costs, wait for reinforcements, and buy time for the guerrillas to transfer the people!"
At the Military Division Headquarters, they also received news that the Japanese and Japanese puppet troops in Lingqiu had gathered heavy troops to attack the Independent Battalion.
"Commander, the Japanese are bound to capture the Independent Battalion... The total strength of the mopping up troops exceeds 3,500, and there are also six armored vehicles and six mountain guns to help!"
"In addition, the Japanese brigade headquarters also secured two aircraft for the Lingqiu garrison to provide them with air reinforcements at any time!"
"It would be wrong to use such a posture to deal with one of our regiments, let alone Li Hao's independent battalion!"
After a brief analysis, the commander quickly regained his composure and took a deep breath to answer: "So far we have not received a telegram from Comrade Li Hao requesting reinforcements. This means that Comrade Li Hao is confident in this counter-mopping up, so we also
Have confidence in the independent camp!”
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "Commander, it's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that the Japanese and puppet troops are too strong!"
"There are mountain artillery and armored vehicles that the Independent Battalion has never faced before, and even aircraft are dispatched. Even if the Independent Battalion has two thousand people, its strength has long exceeded that of a reinforced battalion, but the base area they have to defend is too large, and the troops
It is necessary to divide the troops for defense, otherwise their few troops will not be enough!"
The commander remains as confident as ever.
If the commander had not been to the Independence Camp, he must be as worried as the chief of staff.
But he went and saw the independent battalion’s strength, equipment, and powerful training volume!
After thinking for a while, he replied: "Since Comrade Li Hao did not send a telegram asking for help, it means that he has the confidence to win this battle!"
"I not only believe in the strength of the independent battalion, but also believe in Comrade Li Hao's commanding ability!"
"However, since we have known about this raid in advance, even if Li Hao does not ask us for help, our military division cannot remain indifferent!"
"After all, Lingqiu and Yan'an are all concerned about the sweet potato flour factory, and the increasingly large-scale pig farms and chicken farms."
"Only when the Independent Battalion repels the heavy raids by the Japanese and puppet troops and protects the base area, can the sweet potato flour factory continue to produce and provide a steady stream of funds to military divisions, military regions, the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and even Yan'an!"
"Chief of Staff, please check immediately. Which unit is closest to the independent battalion in the military division?"
The chief of staff replied without thinking: "I just checked, the first battalion of the second brigade, the main battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness of the second brigade, has a total strength of 500 people!"
"Then send them over to reinforce the independent battalion!" the commander immediately made a decision.
"Tell the reinforcements that after entering the independent battalion base area, the entire first battalion will unconditionally obey the command of Comrade Li Hao, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
"Also, if I remember correctly, the sweet potato flour factory has not sent us the share this month!"
The chief of staff looked puzzled. He didn't understand why the commander suddenly got involved in the sharing. However, he quickly reacted and nodded and replied: "It should be soon. Last month, 20% of our profit was divided into 1,450 yuan."
, I heard there will be more this month, maybe 1,600 yuan!"
The commander nodded and continued the order: "Send a telegram to Comrade Li Hao. The military region headquarters has decided to allocate 1,500 yuan from this month's share to support them!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops raided the base area with heavy troops. The soldiers and civilians in the base area will definitely suffer heavy casualties and lose a lot of materials. A large amount of funds will be needed for post-war reconstruction of the base area!"
"In the previous counter-mopping operations, the independent battalion has always supported the military division unconditionally, sending weapons and ammunition!"
"Now that the Independent Battalion is in trouble, the military subdivision cannot just sit idly by!"
"Although I can't get out the ammunition, I can still save 1,500 yuan by saving one province!"
The chief of staff did not hesitate and immediately replied: "I will give the order now!"
"A main force battalion plus one thousand five hundred yuan, for the independent battalion, it should be a timely help!"
The first battalion of the Second Battalion of the Military Division was stationed. After receiving the commander's order, the brigade leader decided to make a trip in person.
As the commander of the main battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness of the second brigade, the brigade captain is very aware of the tiger general under his command.
Peng Yunfeng is currently the commander of the first battalion of the second brigade of the first division.
When he was in the Red Army, he was the commander of the main company. He climbed the snowy mountains and walked on the grass. He was a well-deserved veteran of the Red Army.
When the army was reorganized, he was demoted to the rank of platoon commander. After the establishment of the military division, as the army expanded, in less than a year, he first became the company commander again, and then the battalion commander.
In the entire second brigade, except for himself and the political commissar, almost no one could defeat him.
The captain was very worried that he would rely on his old age and disobey Li Hao's command after arriving at the independent camp.
You know, Li Hao was still a platoon leader when he was in the Red Army, and he was too young. In terms of qualifications, he was not as good as Peng Yunfeng!
