At the military region headquarters, the chief of staff rushed to the commander anxiously with a telegram in his hand, his brows furrowed and his face very solemn!
In the past few days, both he and the commander had felt tremendous pressure!
Facing the raids by the Japanese and puppet troops, the two of them worked hard every day to coordinate the overall situation and deal with possible accidents!
However, the base area is too big, and the Japanese attack from multiple directions. The entire base area is full of battlefields. The things that need to be solved can definitely be described in countless words!!
Since the beginning of the counter-mopping operation, the two of them have less than six hours of rest every day, and they are on the camp bed next to the headquarters!
Lie down to sleep and get up to do things!
The commander was very tired and had not rested for more than ten hours in a row. He was just about to lie down on the camp bed and relax for a while when he happened to see the chief of staff walking over in a hurry!
As soon as I frowned, a very bad premonition came into my mind!
"Commander, there is an urgent call from the direction of Laiyuan. The Japanese and puppet troops who were sweeping them suddenly separated a reinforced infantry brigade and retreated overnight. The destination is unknown!"
"Laiyuan!"
The commander decisively got up from the camp bed, and then walked towards the map next to him. His eyes quickly found the location of Laiyuan on the map, and then he fell into deep thought!
At this time, the chief of staff spoke again: "Not only Laiyuan, the mopping up troops in these two places also separated an infantry brigade to retreat overnight for an unknown purpose!"
"Three reinforced infantry brigades retreated at the same time, with a total strength of more than 4,000 people, and they were all little Japs. If they were gathered together, they could have launched a big battle. I suspect there must be something ulterior.
conspiracy!"
The commander frowned and asked, "Have you sent anyone to follow these retreating troops?"
"If the puppet army of more than 4,000 days suddenly appears in our base area, it will definitely be overwhelming and attack wherever they want, posing a huge threat to us!"
The chief of staff nodded and affirmed: "Everyone is following!"
"The troops following these Japs reported that the Japs were marching very fast, as if they were rushing to do something! Along the way, they ignored our sneak attacks and just kept moving forward!"
"Currently, the goal of these three little devils is Lingqiu City!"
"But we only have an independent regiment in Lingqiu, and we have more than 5,000 puppet troops to deal with them!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, this can already be regarded as killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. Now that we add four thousand elite Japanese soldiers, isn't it superfluous and a waste of troops?"
"Lingqiu...the first division independent group..."
The commander's gaze immediately shifted to the Lingqiu on the map, and then he fell into deep thought again!
"Their goal is Lingqiu!" The silent commander suddenly spoke with a very firm tone!
"Look at the map. These three little devils form a semi-encirclement circle, and Lingqiu City is right in the center of this semi-encirclement circle!"
"Chief of Staff, are there any big actions in the recent division that have anything to do with Lingqiu City?"
The chief of staff thought for a moment and replied: "There is a big operation!"
"The first division has assembled almost three main regiments and is preparing to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops in the near future! But the battlefield they selected is far away from Lingqiu, so it should not be related!"
"If I remember correctly, Lingqiu is an independent regiment without our other troops!"
"Furthermore, this independent regiment is being attacked by more than 5,000 puppet troops, and it should not be able to threaten Lingqiu City!"
The commander shook his head and replied: "You can't do it, you have to be sure!"
"Immediately send a telegram to the first division and ask them to contact the Independent Group immediately to find out what happened to Lingqiu City, attracting so many little devils to kill them all at once!"
The emergence of the unexpected situation made the commander completely sleepless. He stayed by the map and waited for news!
Fortunately, wars are going on everywhere in the base area now. Almost all the commanders in the base area have no rest. The telegrams sent out will receive replies soon!
The commander waited less than half an hour when the chief of staff rushed over with excitement on his face, a telegram in his hand and a smile on his face!
"Commander, good news!"
"You were right, something happened to Lingqiu, but it's a good thing!"
"The Independent Regiment is concentrating heavy troops to attack Lingqiu City!"
"When they sent the telegram, the Independent Regiment had already entered Lingqiu City!"
"Besiege the city and call for reinforcements... attack in the east and attack in the west..." The commander reacted quickly and shouted with a look of sudden realization!
"This Li Hao really did not disappoint us. It is a good way to force the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked them to retreat by attacking Lingqiu City!"
However, after saying this, the smile on the commander's face disappeared!
The conversation changed and he continued: "No, there is something wrong here!"
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops attacking the Independent Group in Lingqiu is more than 5,000. Even if Lingqiu is occupied by the Independent Group, the more than 5,000 Japanese puppet troops will be enough for them to take it back from the Independent Group. There is no need to seize from these three
Troops were mobilized locally, and three reinforcement brigades were mobilized at one time, with more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers!"
The chief of staff quickly replied: "Commander, you are right!"
"There is indeed no need for a Lingqiu City to let the little devils go to war in such a big way, but with a brigade headquarters and a major general brigade commander, it should be enough!"
The commander took a moment to react!
Then a pair of eyes stared at the chief of staff and asked: "What did you just say? There is a Little Japanese Brigade headquarters in Lingqiu City, and there is also a major general brigade commander!"
"So that's it!" The commander completely understood!
Then he exclaimed with a look of realization: "Now everything is clear!"
"The key point of the problem lies in Lingqiu and the independent group!"
"In order to force the Japanese and puppet troops to retreat, the Independent Regiment concentrated its main force to attack Lingqiu City!"
"As far as the Japanese are concerned, Lingqiu City can be lost, but the Major General Brigade Leader must not die!"
"Of course, accidents may happen to anything. If the reinforcements did not arrive on the battlefield in time, and the commander of the Major General Xiaojiazi Brigade was unfortunately killed, these reinforcements could just encircle Lingqiu City and the Independent Regiment as soon as possible.
, don’t let him slip away, then kill the independent regiment and avenge their major general brigade leader who died in the battle!”
"In this way, the little devils can minimize the adverse factors caused by the death of the major general brigade commander. They are far-sighted and have taken the worst case scenario into consideration!"
"This Li Hao, although he is young, is as big as a brat!"
"Writing a war is the same as doing logistics. If you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!"
"Kill the Japs and a major general brigade commander in one battle. With the nature of the little Japs, we won't fight him to the death. We will not retreat until we kill the independent regiment!"
The chief of staff quickly reminded: "Commander, although I also hope that the independent regiment can kill the leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade, until I sent the telegram just now, they only broke through the Lingqiu city wall and did not capture the Japanese Brigade headquarters.
And he didn’t kill the leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade!”
"A major general is considered a senior officer among the Japs. The Japs will definitely try their best to protect his safety. It will be very difficult for the Independent Regiment to kill him!"
"I believe in the Independent Regiment and Comrade Li Hao!" the commander replied confidently!
Seeing the confusion on the chief of staff's face, he explained directly: "For our Eighth Route Army, the most difficult stage of siege warfare is to break through the enemy's fortifications and enter the city!"
"Because our Eighth Route Army does not have heavy weapons, it rarely fights tough battles!"
"Now that the Independence Regiment has chewed off the hardest bone, all they need to do next is eat meat!"
"And it is impossible for the reinforcements to arrive at Lingqiu immediately. There is still a lot of time left for the independent regiment. They can completely take down the entire Lingqiu and kill the commander of the Little Japanese Major General Brigade!"
