Chapter 216 Covering the evacuation of the old surname
Everyone in the command center looked at the communicator.
Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "Read it."
His voice was crisp and powerful, without any hesitation. In this tense atmosphere, he just wanted to know the content of the telegram as soon as possible.
The messenger picked up the telegram and read it out quickly: "Order the independent brigade to immediately go to Heyuan County to block the Japanese army. Make sure to stop the Japanese outside Ping'an County and contain the Japanese army."
Li Yunlong was immediately overjoyed after hearing this. Speak of the devil and he will appear.
A smile instantly appeared on his originally serious face.
"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Duan Peng, listen to my orders. Gather the troops immediately and head to Heyuan County to stop the Japanese army." Li Yunlong ordered.
"Yes, Brigadier."
The three responded in unison.
"Okay, everyone go back and make arrangements. The independent brigade will set off overnight." Li Yunlong said.
He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time to gain the initiative on the battlefield.
People began to leave the command center and return to their respective units.
Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong: "Brigade Commander, the independent brigade is still struggling to face the Japanese army. We have to deal with the Japanese troops in Heyuan County."
His expression was serious and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
He was clearly aware of the gap in strength between the enemy and us, but he also understood that he had to complete the blocking mission.
Li Yunlong nodded in agreement.
"Commissar, you are right."
"The mountainous area of Heyuan County is our home turf. We must make full use of this advantage to attack the Japanese army."
Li Yunlong was also very clear in his mind that the primary mission of the independent brigade was to keep the Japanese out of Ping'an County, and the core area of the base must not be destroyed by the Japanese.
the other side.
After receiving Gaoda's order, Ding Wei of the New 1st Brigade immediately summoned officers at all levels of the New 1st Brigade.
"Everyone, we just received an order from the commander. The New 1st Brigade will immediately set off to the Shouyang area to block the Japanese army. The Japanese must be stopped in the Shouyang area."
Ding Wei spoke at the command center.
"Brigade Commander, arrange the tasks. We will fight the way you say. All the soldiers of the New 1st Brigade are ready for battle." The regiment commander said loudly.
The other officers also nodded, indicating that they were ready for battle.
Afterwards, Ding Wei began to make combat arrangements for the various units of the New 1st Brigade.
While gesturing on the map, he assigned tasks to each unit in detail.
................
Night falls.
Darkness slowly enveloped the earth like a huge curtain.
The camps of the New 1st Brigade of the Independent Column and the Independent Brigade were brightly lit.
The soldiers gathered in the camp fully armed, their neat rows like chess pieces on a chessboard, full of order.
Each soldier was dressed in military uniform, carrying guns and ammunition, with a bayonet hanging on his waist, and his eyes were firm and fiery.
When they learned that the Japanese were burning, killing and looting in the base, they were filled with anger and wanted to rush to the front line to kill the Japanese immediately.
As the order to set off was issued.
The troops of the two brigades of the independent column set out from the camp overnight and rushed towards Shouyang and Heyuan County like two arrows.
As a reserve force, the Peace Brigade is always ready to support various battlefields.
Join the battle at the critical moment and turn the tide of the battle.
at the same time.
Other Eighth Route Army troops in northwestern Shanxi were also mobilized overnight.
The Japanese army was coming in full force, and every Eighth Route Army soldier knew that they must do everything they could to stop the Japanese actions and buy time for the people in the base area to evacuate.
The entire northwest Shanxi region seems calm under the cover of night, but in fact there are undercurrents, and a fierce battle is about to unfold on this land.
...........
Overcome difficulties.
Inside the Second World War Command Headquarters.
After receiving the notice, many senior generals of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army rushed to gather at the headquarters.
Their expressions were serious and their eyes showed concern about the situation.
Yan Laoxi stood in front of everyone and said, "Commendants, I believe you are all very clear about the situation in Shanxi in recent times. The Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Zhengtai Railway.
The number of people and the scale of the incident were staggering. I guess the Japanese were already stunned. Not to mention the little Japanese, even I was stunned.”
"Can anyone tell me why the Eighth Route Army has grown to such a large scale and I have no idea about it?"
Yan Laoxi glanced at everyone, his eyes were like a sharp sword, trying to penetrate everyone's hearts and get the answer from their mouths.
He had been operating in Shanxi for many years and thought he had some grasp of the development of various forces. However, the rapid growth of the Eighth Route Army was beyond his understanding.
The major campaign launched by the Eighth Route Army shocked everyone in the country.
It was a large-scale military operation that was beyond people's expectations. No one had thought that the Eighth Route Army would grow to such a large scale in just a few years.
In everyone's eyes, the Eighth Route Army was simply a miracle.
Many people found it incredible that the army, which was once poorly equipped and had relatively few personnel, could now burst out with such powerful force.
Yan Laoxi couldn't understand how the Eighth Route Army could develop so rapidly without any money or guns.
His mind kept running through various possible reasons, but he couldn't find an answer that satisfied him.
The generals in the command center looked at each other in bewilderment.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Everyone was also very shocked and wanted to know how the Eighth Route Army did it.
Just then, an officer strode into the command post.
He walked up to Yan Laoxi and whispered, "Commander, the intelligence personnel at the front reported that the Japanese First Army dispatched three divisions of troops plus more than 80,000 Japanese Second Army troops to launch a mopping-up operation against the Eighth Route Army base."
Although his voice was low, it was clearly audible in this quiet command center, like a blockbuster bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
After hearing this, Yan Laoxi took a deep breath.
His eyes widened slightly and a hint of fear flashed across his face.
The Japs actually dispatched so many troops. The First Army is serious about this. It seems that the Japs' large-scale mobilization in the past few days was to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
The First Army dispatched three divisions. Not only could the Eighth Route Army not stop them, but even if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was added, they would not be able to resist. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army was in great danger this time.
Yan Laoxi couldn't help but start to worry. If the Eighth Route Army could not hold out, would the three Japanese divisions take advantage of the victory and launch an attack on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army base?
He immediately ordered the generals in front of him: "Generals, the Japanese First Army has dispatched more than 10 people to launch a large-scale mopping-up operation against the Eighth Route Army base. In my opinion, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Japanese army.
Therefore, I ask all troops to strengthen defense in various places, pay close attention to the actions of the devils, and prevent them from launching sudden attacks. "
"Yes, Commander."
The generals responded in unison.
