Watching the soldiers move down the boxes of military supplies on the train one by one, Li Guotao couldn't help but show a smile, raised the cigarette butt in his hand and took another puff, and casually threw the cigarette butt that was about to burn his fingers to the ground.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over, respectfully saluted a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is urgent," and handed over a telegram in his hand.Li Guotao hurriedly took the telegram, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his face, and after a long time, he gently spit out a sentence: "Did the Battle of the Hundred Regiments start like this?"
"Commander, what did you say" The soldier of the Eighth Route Army obviously did not hear what Li Guotao said clearly, and asked with a frown."
It's nothing" Li Guotao shook his head, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately send a telegram to Political Commissar Meng, and ask them to speed up the march and rush to the vicinity of Shuozhou as soon as possible." ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.The telegram that Li Guotao had just received from the headquarters was also an order.The Seventh Column was ordered to immediately launch a large-scale sabotage campaign against the Tongpu Railway and destroy the Tongpu Railway and the nearby important highway communication lines after capturing the Yuan Shulin Station and intercepting the Japanese special arms train.At the same time, the telegram also reported that at the same time, this evening, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will launch a large-scale sabotage operation against the Tongpu Railway, the Zhengtai Railway, the Pinghan Railway, the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and all the highway transportation networks in the above-mentioned areas.Li Guotao, who is familiar with history, knows that the famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments in history broke out in this way.At that time, Japan took advantage of Germany's sweep across Europe and the British and American powers had no time to look eastward, so they were eager to conquer China and move south to the Pacific region in a vain attempt to establish its so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.In order to end the war in China as soon as possible, the Japanese government adopted the strategy of military suppression and political inducement against the Chongqing government at that time, which made the pessimism of the Kuomintang region become more and more serious.At the same time, in order to maintain its rule in North China and achieve the goal of nourishing the war through war, the Japanese army in North China dispatched troops to mobilize heavy troops to implement the so-called cage policy of taking the railway as the pillar, the highway as the chain, and the stronghold as the lock in the anti-Japanese base area of our Eighth Route Army, and constantly compressing the space of our Eighth Route Army for the war of resistance.At that time, except for the victory of our army in Chahar Suiyuan, other base areas were greatly impacted, and the situation of the War of Resistance became extremely grim.Under such a grim situation, the leaders of our party are worried about China's future and fate, and they believe that at this time, our Eighth Route Army will come forward to break the argument of losing the country and surrendering, inject hope into China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the world's anti-fascist battlefield, and deal a blow to the evil Japanese aggressors.It was in such a situation that the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army organized and launched this campaign, which was later known as the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, in order to break the cage policy of the Japanese invaders.The seventh column led by Li Guotao made a surprise attack on Yuan Shulin Station, officially firing the first shot of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.A few hours later, the sky gradually brightened, and at this time, Lin Feng led the third brigade to arrive in time, and when he saw Lin Feng and Li Guotao, he said with a smile: "You have come just in time, but I don't have time for you to rest, I have a very important task to hand over to you." ”"If there is any task, please ask the commander to give orders, and we will promise to complete the task."
Lin Feng replied with a serious face.Li Guotao pulled Lin Feng to the front of the map, pointed to the map and said: "We have captured the devil's arms train, seized a large number of military supplies, and we have organized a lot of manpower and material resources to carry the materials, but it will take a few hours to transport all these materials to a safe place." ”Li Guotao paused, and then said: "After the little devil got the news, the little devil in Shuozhou, which is closest to us, and the little devil in Shanyin County, which is closest to us, sent a batch of reinforcements to support Yuan Shulin Station quickly.However, we don't have to worry about the little devils in the north, because hundreds of little devils in Shanyin County immediately took the train south after receiving the news, but the train derailed as soon as they left the county, and these hundreds of little devils were immediately wiped out in one fell swoop, which is to thank the friendly troops of the 120th Division for solving a worry for us.However, this little devil who came to the aid of Shuozhou in the south needs to be solved by us personally. ”"How many people are here from the little devils," Lin Feng asked with a frown."
A reinforced brigade originally came by train, and there was the cover of the ironclad car, but Xiao Long took a special combat team and cooperated with the local martial arts team to blow up the Qilihe Railway Bridge, and the little devil had no choice but to change to the road, and now the devil has arrived here, Shentou Railway Station, which is only more than twenty miles away from us."
Li Guotao pointed to the map and said with a serious face."
There is only one little devil who strengthens the brigade" Lin Feng frowned slightly and said, "Then our task is to stop it, or directly destroy this little devil." ”Li Guotao said with a serious face: "Destroy them directly, and you must not let go of a little devil to go back to Shuozhou."
I have sent a small force to cooperate with the local militia guerrillas to slow down the devil's march as much as possible, and your task is to rush to Mayi as soon as possible and encircle and annihilate this little devil here in one fell swoop. ”"It's a guarantee to get the job done."
Lin Feng replied loudly with a respectful face."
Okay, go ahead, I'm here to wish you success in advance."
Li Guotao nodded and said.Lin Feng raised his hand and saluted, turned around and hurriedly walked out of Li Guotao's headquarters.After Lin Feng left the headquarters, he immediately led his troops south, and urgently rushed to the area of Mayi to fortify, preparing to snipe the little devils.Lin Feng took the first step, led the guard company to Mayi, observed the nearby terrain, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order, the new Fifth Regiment will speed up to Mayi, and build defensive positions along both sides of the road, ready to block the Japanese army."
The newly formed 6th Regiment, the 3rd Independent Cavalry Battalion, was ordered to make a detour from both flanks to prepare to outflank the retreat of the devils, and ordered the artillery battalion to rush to the battlefield at full speed to build artillery positions.This time, we're going to encircle and annihilate this little devil in one fell swoop. ”After the reorganization of the troops, Lin Feng's new Third Brigade has two infantry regiments, namely the Fifth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment, as well as artillery battalions, cavalry battalions and other units."
Yes" A soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him immediately responded respectfully, and then turned around and ran to convey the order.aa2705221:
