Just when the Japanese Army's Ito Brigade launched an attack on our blocking position, Commander Meng had already rushed to Zhengding Station with the main force, and the cadres and masses in the station were still busy transferring supplies in the station.And Commander Meng summoned all the main responsible persons of the various units and held a brief meeting.At the beginning of the meeting, Commander Meng said excitedly: "The battle is progressing quite smoothly, our army not only captured Zhengding Station and Shimen Airport successively, captured a large number of military supplies, but also annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese troops in one fell swoop, and destroyed 27 Japanese combat planes of various types and a large amount of aviation ammunition at Shimen Airport, and shot down three Japanese planes again at Zhengding Station, which can be described as fruitful results" Commander Meng first summed up the results of this battle, and the generals of the various units attending the meeting were elated one by one.
They were all happy to have achieved such a brilliant victory.Then Commander Meng changed his words and continued: "But now is not the time to be happy, this little devil's sweep of our Jizhong base area has not been completely crushed, so you still need to make persistent efforts to smash this sweep of the Japanese army as soon as possible."
Here we would also like to thank our friendly troops, the soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade of the Western Hebei Military Region, because it was thanks to their help that we were able to achieve a complete victory in this battle.Moreover, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Command has already issued an order that the 1st Independent Brigade will continue to assist us in the operation during the next period of time until the Japanese army's sweep of the Jizhong Military Region is completely smashed.Everyone welcomes" The generals of the "Quack" Fourth Division applauded warmly one after another, expressing their gratitude and welcome to the comrades of the First Independent Brigade.Wei Zhigang, the commander of the First Independent Brigade, waved his hand a little embarrassed and said: "Everyone is our own people, this is what we should do, I am a little embarrassed that you guys are doing this." ”As soon as Brigade Commander Wei said this, everyone couldn't help laughing, obviously winning the battle, and everyone was in a very good mood.Commander Meng waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Okay, about the summary and reward work of this great victory, we can do it slowly in the future."
But now we have more important things to do, as I said just now, our crisis has not been resolved, according to the latest intelligence, the Japanese army is currently mobilizing troops, rushing to the aid of Shimen, intending to surround us near Shimen, and then annihilate in one fell swoop.We must not let the little devil's conspiracy succeed, so this time we convened this meeting to discuss what we should do next" As soon as Commander Meng said this, the venue immediately became quiet, and everyone's expressions became serious, some people began to frown and think about it, and some people looked at Commander Meng with a smile, waiting for Commander Meng to give an order.Commander Meng glanced at the generals present at the meeting, paused slightly, and then continued: "According to the plan we made before, after the Shimen Battle is over, we will return to the Jizhong base area and continue to smash the Japanese army's sweep of our Jizhong base area through guerrilla warfare.I don't think everyone has any opinion on this," everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had no opinion on this decision.Commander Meng nodded with satisfaction and said: "After our several battles, the pre-war deployment of the little devil has been completely disrupted by our army, and now the little devil is like a wild cow, led by our nose, this time is a good opportunity to smash the devil sweep in one fell swoop, so what we need to do next will be crucial, directly related to the success or failure of this anti-sweeping operation." ”"Commander, just say it directly, what should we do next, we promise to complete the task."
One of the generals present at the meeting asked impatiently."
Hmm" Commander Meng nodded and said, "According to the information we have now, the Japanese 133rd Brigade and the Hasegawa Wing have already moved south in Fuping and are coming quickly in the direction of Shimen.We can ignore this little devil for the time being.Because we didn't intend to retreat westward.There are also two little devils, that is, the Japanese Army's Independent Fifth Mixed Brigade and the Miyazaki Wing of the Japanese Army's 27th Division.At present, these two little devils have left Shenze and are rushing towards the West Gate, and we have to return to the Jizhong base area, so we must avoid these two little devils. ”Commander Meng said this, turned around and pointed to a map hanging on the wall, and then said: "Let's take a look, these two little devils are in a hurry to get to Shimen as soon as possible, they will definitely go all the way west along this road, and it will be easy for us to avoid them."
Therefore, after the study and decision of the headquarters, we plan to retreat to the northeast and return to Anguo through Wuji, this route, and return to the Jizhong base area. ”As soon as Commander Meng finished speaking, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army suddenly walked in and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the Japanese army in Xin'an Town suddenly launched an attack on our blocking position, and the two sides are currently fighting fiercely. ”Commander Meng frowned slightly and said: "Xin'an Town is not only a brigade of little devils, these little devils really dare to attack, aren't they afraid that we will turn around and destroy them" "Maybe the little devils are looking forward to us turning around and attacking them, so that they can contain the main force of our army, and the main force of the Japanese army is rushing to support, once we delay for too long, when the main force of the little devils arrives, it will be very unfavorable to our army." ”Li Guotao suddenly spoke."
Hmm" Commander Meng nodded and said, "You're right, we don't have time to pay attention to this little devil for the time being."
Now in the blocking position to the north, how many troops. ”"Report to the commander, we have laid out a total of two lines of defense in the north, the first line of defense is defended by the first battalion of our eighth regiment, and the second line of defense is defended by the third battalion of the independent regiment."
Li Yongfu said respectfully, when it came to the independent regiment, he couldn't help but glance at Li Guotao, Li Guotao nodded lightly.Commander Meng frowned slightly, and said with a serious face: "That is to say, there are only two battalions of troops, so are you sure that you can block this little devil and then ensure a safe retreat?"
"Well, this" Li Yongfu hesitated for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be a problem to block the little devil for a while, but if the little devil desperately pursues, I am afraid it will not be so easy to withdraw safely." ”aa2705221:
