In order to cooperate with the nationwide counteroffensive operations, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Theater Command held consultations and decided to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army in Suiyuan, striving to recover Suixi and even the entire Suiyuan region in one fell swoop.To this end, the Eighth Route Army specially formed three columns to cooperate with the friendly forces of the Eighth Theater to launch this campaign.Because the Eighth Route Army sent a large number of elites to cooperate with the campaign, the Eighth Theater Command decided to launch an offensive in advance on November 19, and the first target of the Eighth Theater offensive was Baotou.The Seventh Column, which had been rushing to Liuling Mountain for more than a week on 17 November, finally received a combat mission from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.After receiving the order, Li Guotao immediately convened an emergency military meeting.Li Guotao raised the telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "The headquarters has finally given us a combat mission. ”As soon as Li Guotao's words came out, a burst of cheers immediately broke out in the venue, all the commanders and fighters of the Seventh Column were waiting for this day, and they had already waited a little impatiently, and now that the order has finally come down, how can the soldiers not be excited Li Guotao waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said with a serious face: "According to the plan, the main force of the Eighth Theater will launch an attack on Baotou on the 19th.The order given to me by the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army to the Seventh Column was to block the 26th Division of the Japanese Army in Fengzhen and Datong to support Baotou and assist the friendly forces in recovering Baotou after the battle began. ”"What" Li Yongfu stood up from the stool suddenly, stared at a pair of big eyes, and said loudly with a dissatisfied face: "Together, this has been making trouble for a long time, just let us play auxiliary, why let us give them the troops of the eighth theater to block, we blocked the main force of the devil, they took Baotou, it can be said that fame and fortune are gained, but what benefits can we get" "Why should we let us fight them, this is obviously a thankless errand" Li Yongfu spoke, Several other people also shouted, obviously very dissatisfied with this combat mission.Li Guotao glanced at everyone coldly, and those guys met Li Guotao's cold gaze, and immediately dared not speak, and when everyone was quiet, Li Guotao said: "Comrades, what are we fighting devils for, so that the entire Chinese people will not be enslaved by his little devils, not for the sake of those officials and old men of the government in Chongqing, but for the sake of all the Chinese people. ”Li Guotao paused, and then said: "Japan, but the Japanese slaves of the three islands.Its territory is not as large as one of China's provinces, and its population is only one-half of China's.Moreover, Japan lacks resources, which is far from being comparable to China, which has a large land and abundant resources.But it is such a small projectile island country, such a group of dwarf-like slaves, who actually occupied half of China's rivers and mountains, and almost brought disaster to our China, which is why, in the final analysis, it is because our Chinese are not united enough, and the warlord melee for a long time has led to the people's lack of livelihood, and the country is becoming more and more impoverished, which gives the little devils an opportunity to take advantage of.If our 450,000,000 compatriots in China can unite as one, why should we let the slaves of the three islands be humiliated so far?
Now that our motherland has reached the most critical moment, if we, the sons and daughters of China, are not vigilant, all that awaits us is the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species."
Li Guotao's words immediately quieted down those who were clamoring just now, and they all lowered their heads in shame.Li Guotao took a deep breath and asked with a cold face: "Does anyone still have doubts about our combat mission now?"
"The commander is right, as long as we can kill the devils, and when we can drive the little devils out of China, let us do anything, whether it is auxiliary or main attack, it is all to defeat the little devils, anyway, we fight devils, and we are not fighting for fame and fortune, so why care." ”Changde stood up and said loudly."
Yes, as long as we can defeat the little devils, we are willing to do anything."
The others shouted loudly as a way to express their determination.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "According to the order of the headquarters, it is indeed for us to assist and block."
But my Seventh Column has always been the most elite unit, and if the headquarters asks us to play auxiliary, we will play auxiliary, we can completely turn the auxiliary attack into the main attack, and let the little devils see the power of our Seventh Column. ”"I said Lao Li, you don't want to disobey orders, right" Chang De frowned and said with a worried face, among these people present, Chang De is undoubtedly the person who knows Li Guotao best, knowing that this kid is bold and reckless, he can do everything, and this kind of thing is disobedient on the battlefield, others don't dare, and he Li Guotao may not really dare.Li Guotao shook his head with a smile and said: "Disobedience on the battlefield is a big crime, I don't have the courage, and now everything is focused on the overall situation, if we miss a big thing, we can't afford to take this responsibility."
The order given to us by the headquarters is to block the Japanese troops in Fengzhen and Baotou to reinforce Baotou, and we must not only stop this group of little devils, but also completely annihilate them. ”When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, these Japanese troops have already explored the situation nearby, once the battle breaks out, judging from the deployment of the little devils near Datong, they can send at least a few thousand people to reinforce Baotou at that time, and if they want to annihilate these thousands of little devils in one fell swoop, where is it so easy "Why aren't it just a few thousand little devils to scare you" Li Guotao said with a serious face."
Commander, don't look down on people, who is scared, our Seventh Column is now strong, not to mention thousands of little devils, even the little devils of the entire 26th Division, we dare to fight with them hard-to-head."
One of the regimental commanders immediately stood up and said loudly."
Yes, if you do it with them, we will destroy as many as many little devils are afraid of" Someone immediately echoed loudly.The various units under the Seventh Column, whether it is the Independent Seventh Brigade or the Independent Fourth Brigade brought out by Li Guotao, are all a group of arrogant soldiers.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's worthy of being a soldier of my seventh column, and each of you is good."
This time, we must not only complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters, but also exceed the tasks, and annihilate all the little devils who reinforced Baotou in one fell swoop.The order was immediately given, and the troops were immediately mobilized, and by the evening of the 18th, they must rush to the area north of Fengzhen to assemble and stand by. ”"Yes" aa2705221:
