Ma Zhenguo held a telegram in his hand, hurriedly walked up to Li Guotao, and said with an anxious face: "Commander, a telegram has just been sent from the guard battalion, saying that the big army of the little devils has arrived at Qiaotouling one after another and is launching a fierce attack on Qiaotouling. ”"The big army of devils" Li Guotao couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Wei Xiaodong said so on the telegram, saying that the little devil launched a brigade-scale attack as soon as he came up, and there were at least two or three brigades behind the attack, the situation was extremely critical, and the guard battalion would not last long if it continued like this, Wei Xiaodong asked the commander to send reinforcements to support." ”"How can this be, could it be that I guessed wrong," Li Guotao said to himself with a frown.Ma Zhenguo said anxiously: "The commander can't hesitate any longer, hurry up and send troops to support the guard battalion, otherwise it will be too late" Li Guotao shook his head and said: "It's too late now, the main force of the Anguo Independent Regiment has already gone to Daquan Mountain, even if it is withdrawn now, it will be too late in time." ”"The guard battalion should be able to hold on for a while, and if the Angolan Independent Regiment is ordered to retreat now, it may be too late."
Ma Zhenguo said anxiously.Li Guotao shook his head and said: "No, although the guard battalion reported that the main force of the devils was found in Qiaotou Ridge, it is difficult to guarantee that it is a trick of the devils, so the troops of Daquan Mountain must not retreat." ”"But the guard battalion has only one battalion of troops, and if Qiaotouling is lost, the consequences will be," Ma Zhenguo said with an anxious look on his face."
I understand" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Order the guard battalion to defend Qiaotou Ridge to the death, and to guard Qiaotou Ridge for me at all costs."
In addition, the new seventh regiment was ordered to transfer a main battalion of troops to Wangguantun immediately, once Qiaotouling was lost, the Japanese army detoured back to Wangguantun, and they would stop the little devil at all costs in Wangguantun.In addition, all organs of the headquarters and the artillery regiment were ordered to be ready to retreat at any time, and once Qiaotouling was lost, they would immediately move to the mountainous area in the northwest. ”"Commander," Ma Zhenguo shouted with an unwilling face."
Okay, no need to say any more, let's carry out the order," Li Guotao said with a wave of his hand."
Yes" Ma Zhenguo replied helplessly, turned around and ran to convey the order.Li Guotao also sighed deeply, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a hard breath, and then walked to the front of the sand table, stared at the sand table, and said to himself: "Is it really that I guessed wrong this time" Li Guotao knew very well in his heart that if he was defeated this time, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable, and the Seven Columns would be defeated on all fronts, even if they could get away with it, the losses would inevitably be quite heavy.The more at this time, Li Guotao became more and more calm, staring at Daquan Mountain on the sand table, frowning and muttering to himself: "Daquan Mountain, why don't the little devils choose to go to Daquan Mountain" seems to want to confirm something, Li Guotao turned around and hurriedly walked towards the confidential room, at this time Ma Zhenguo happened to come out of the confidential room, and saw Li Guotao and hurriedly said: "Commander, your orders have been conveyed." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said, "Is there any movement over there in Daquan Mountain?"
"I haven't received a report from the Anguo Independent Regiment for the time being, and the situation is unknown." ”Ma Zhenguo said with a serious face."
Immediately send a report to the Angolan Independent Mission and ask them about the current situation."
Li Guotao hurriedly commanded.Ma Zhenguo nodded, and hurriedly turned to a messenger and ordered: "Contact the Anguo Independent Regiment immediately, and ask them to report the current situation immediately." ”"Yes," the dispatcher replied, then adjusted the radio station, and the "tick-tock" began to initiate the report.Li Guotao waited anxiously, and suddenly felt a burning pain in his fingers, the cigarette in his hand had burned out, and only a cigarette butt was left, Li Guotao hurriedly threw the cigarette butt to the ground, raised his foot and crushed it fiercely."
The Angolan Independent Regiment called back."
The dispatcher hurriedly turned around and handed a newly translated telegram in his hand to Ma Zhenguo.Ma Zhenguo took the telegram and glanced at it, and hurriedly turned to Li Guotao and said: "The commander of the Anguo Independent Regiment reported that everything is normal at present, and no trace of the devil has been found.The commander now orders the Angolan Independent Mission to come back to help, and it may be too late. ”Li Guotao frowned and took the telegram and glanced at it, his brows furrowed even deeper, and after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head categorically and said, "No, the Anguo Independent Regiment can't retreat yet."
Daquan Mountain is as important as Qiaotou Mountain, in case the Anguo Independent Regiment withdraws from Daquan Mountain, and the little devils take the opportunity to bypass Daquan Mountain, then we will be all finished. ”"But once Qiaotouling is lost, we will be all finished."
Ma Zhenguo's tears were about to come out.Li Guotao sighed deeply and said helplessly: "When we decided to bet on this, we should have been prepared.But the results haven't been fully revealed yet, and I don't think we're going to lose. ”Ma Zhenguo shook his head helplessly and said: "Things have come to this point, I really don't know where you got this confidence." ”Li Guotao shook his head and said: "Just because things have come to this point, we have no other choice, we can only hope that we will bet right, the direction of Daquan Mountain is the main force of the devil, and Qiaotouling is just a bluff of the devil." ”After finishing speaking, Li Guotao turned around and left the confidential room, because there was no point in staying here any longer As he said just now, they can only hope now that their previous guess was not wrong, so that they have a chance to turn defeat into victory, otherwise it will be a complete defeat.Qiaotou Ridge, the fierce battle is still going on, and the little devils are still continuing to launch a crazy attack."
Give me the next charge," the devil captain roared almost frantically, waving the command knife in his hand.At this moment, a string of bullets suddenly swept over, and the devil captain was hit several times in a row, and blood splashed on his body one after another, and his body stopped suddenly, his eyes widened with unwillingness, and he slowly fell."
Brothers, give me a hard beating, fight with the little devils," Wei Xiaodong roared loudly, holding a Czech light machine gun in his hand, and kept firing wildly at the little devils below.In the end, the little devils could not bear the huge casualties, coupled with the fact that the front-line commander was killed, and they lost their unified command, and finally retreated like a tide.aa2705221:
