In a small forest near Houyi Town in the south of Yongqing County, Li Guotao, Tian Chen, Zhao Yunfei, Xu Feihu and Sun Tao gathered in a military tent.Li Guotao said with a serious face: "I just got the news that the little devil has left Yongqing County to search for our traces, and at the speed of the little devil, it is estimated that it will not take long to arrive here." ”"Brigade commander, then do we still want to continue to retreat" Zhao Yunfei asked with a frown.Li Guotao nodded and said: "With our current strength, we can't fight hard with the little devils, and if we want to eliminate this little devil, we can only outwit and not attack."
The little devils have a large group of troops, and if this group of little devils keeps coming together, it is almost impossible for us to destroy them.So if you can spread these little devils apart and break them down, that's the best. ”Tian Chen nodded, and then frowned and said: "But how can we separate this little devil" Li Guotao frowned and said: "I don't have any good way for the time being, it's just that these little devils have always been arrogant, if we retreat by different routes, the little devils may divide their troops to pursue, but this method is not completely certain, but we have no other better way now, so we can only reluctantly try." ”After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.Xu Feihu asked a little impatiently: "Since you want to divide the troops, then how should you divide them?"
Li Guotao frowned and said with a serious face: "I have already thought about it just now, we only have three radio stations in total, so divide the troops into three roads, and each road carries a radio station, so that it is also convenient to communicate." ”Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Li Guotao continued: "The special combat team is counted as the first road, the first battalion of the New Seventh Regiment led by Tian Chen is counted as the second road, and the Baxian County Brigade led by Sun Tao is counted as the third road.After the troops were properly packed, they immediately set out to retreat in three directions, of which the special combat team retreated to the west, the first battalion of the New Seventh Regiment retreated to the east, and the Baxian County Brigade retreated to the south.All troops should be cautious, keep in touch at all times, chase after the little devils, and try to avoid fighting the little devils head-on.In addition, there is another point to note, we don't have to deliberately hide our whereabouts, it's best to leave some clues, or make some noise, to let the little devils know that we have dispersed and broken through, so as to lure the little devils into being fooled. ”"Don't worry, brigade commander, if the little devil wants to catch up with us, it's wishful thinking."
Tian Chen said confidently.Li Guotao nodded, turned around and glanced at Sun Tao, and said with a worried face: "My most important thing is Sun Tao's county brigade, in case the little devils did not divide the troops, but all ran to the county brigade to chase over, it would be troublesome." ”Sun Tao said nonchalantly: "Chief, please rest assured, we will be in Baxian County to the south, we are most familiar with the terrain in this area, not to mention that we have been fighting guerrilla warfare with the little devil for so long, and we also have a certain amount of experience, and the little devil wants to catch up with us, but it is not so easy." ”Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the best, but after all, the little devil has a large number of troops, and his combat effectiveness is not weak, so everyone must not be careless, don't be too impulsive in case of trouble, and everything must focus on the overall situation." ”"Yes," everyone replied in unison."
Then I'm relieved."
Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction."
What about you, brigade commander, do you want to go with us, or with the special combat team."
Tian Chen couldn't help but ask.Li Guotao replied with a smile: "I'll go with the special combat team" At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army suddenly walked in and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, all units have been assembled and can set off at any time." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, let's set off immediately" "Yes" Everyone responded in unison.Li Guotao then said: "Tian Chen, Sun Tao, the two of you retreat first with your troops, and our special combat team is the last to evacuate. ”"Yes" Tian Chen and Sun Tao responded respectfully, then turned around and walked out.Li Guotao, Zhao Yunfei and others also walked out of the tent, and at this time, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army surrounded them and quickly put the tent away.Zhao Yunfei watched the other troops leave the garrison one after another, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Brigade commander, do you say that the little devil will be fooled?"
"How do I know this, if they are not fooled, we can only think of other ways." ”Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said.After a while, the soldiers had already packed up, and Tian Chen and Sun Tao had already taken the people away, but Li Guotao was not in a hurry to order the special combat team to start.After about half an hour, Li Guotao, Zhao Yunfei, and Xu Feihu were gathering together to smoke, when a special combat team member hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, I just received news that the little devil is less than ten miles away from here." ”Li Guotao nodded, casually threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, extinguished it with his foot, waved his hand and said, "Notify the troops immediately and transfer immediately." ”"Yes" Zhao Yunfei and Xu Feihu responded respectfully, and then immediately summoned the special combat team.After the troops were assembled, Li Guotao did not hesitate and retreated along a country road to the east.About an hour later, Shiro Segawa arrived at the Eighth Route Army camp.Ishikawa Shaozo said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency General, I spent the night here last night.And according to the traces left at the scene and the intelligence obtained by the scouts, these dirt roads should have just left. ”"They fled in that direction," Shiro Segawa asked, frowning."
This," Ishikawa Shaozo hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the investigation, these Tubalu soldiers fled in three directions, east, west, and south. ”"Nani, do you mean to say that these dirt roads have scattered and fled," Sekawa Shiro asked in surprise."
Hai" Ishikawa Shaosa replied respectfully: "Your Excellency General, it must be that these Dirt Eight Roads are worried about being wiped out by the Imperial Army, so they scattered and fled.Should the Imperial Army split up and annihilate them all?
”Segawa Shiro frowned and thought about it, shook his head and said: "No, these people are very cunning, and the imperial army of Baxian will suffer a crushing defeat if they fall for them." ”"Your Excellency the General means that this may be a conspiracy of the Shina people," Ishikawa asked with a frown."
Well, it's very likely, we'll have to guard against it," Shiro Segawa said, nodding."
But now that the Tsuchihachi Road is scattered and fleeing, how should the Imperial Army pursue it?"
asked Ishikawa Shaosa with a frown.aa2705221:
