Li Guotao took a few guards and withdrew from Jingcheng County ahead of schedule, and then rushed back to Niangzi Pass.As soon as he walked into the gate of the headquarters, Ma Zhenguo greeted him excitedly, and said excitedly: "Commander, you are back, I just have good news to tell you here." ”"Good news, what's the good news, the little devil should have occupied Jingcheng County, this shouldn't be good news," Li Guotao shook his head with a smile and said.Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "Haha, what I'm going to talk about is not about this matter.At noon today, Lin Feng's newly formed Third Brigade and Cavalry Brigade gathered the Japanese army's baggage troops near Bailuquan, not far outside the city of Luxian County, annihilating about 2,000 Japanese troops and seizing a large amount of military supplies.It's just a pity that due to the rush of time, only a batch of weapons and ammunition was transported in time, and about half of the military supplies had to be destroyed on the spot. ”"What Lin Feng, they successfully ambushed the devil's baggage team."
Li Guotao asked with a slight surprise, and then strode to the front of the sand table, and soon found the location of the White Deer Spring that Ma Zhenguo said.Li Guotao looked at it, shook his head with a smile and said: "This Lin Feng is not small, this is simply a tiger's mouth to extract teeth, it is commendable that he even let him succeed, although most of the materials can only be destroyed on the spot, it is indeed a pity, but I think the little devil must be more distressed than us." ”Political Commissar Meng smiled and said: "This is not false at all, so many troops of the little devils are gathered near Jingcheng County, and the various materials that need to be consumed every day are an astronomical amount, if we can completely cut off the logistics supply line of the devils, so that the devils on the front line cannot get enough supplies, it will not take a few days, this little devil will collapse without a fight." ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "But let's not think about things too simply, the little devil is not a fool, they must be able to see this, and then they will definitely divide troops to protect the safety of their logistics supply line, so that if Lin Feng and they want to succeed, it will not be easy."
However, Lin Feng and the others made such a fuss, and they were able to contain some of the devil's troops, so that our pressure on Niangzi Pass could also be reduced a lot, which would be beneficial and harmless to us. ”Political Commissar Meng smiled and nodded and said: "At present, the main force of the sixth column of our Eighth Route Army and the main force of the 120th Division have launched a general attack on Xinzhou, and it is estimated that we will be able to take Xinzhou soon. ”Li Guotao nodded and said, "There is no movement from Jingcheng County. ”Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied: "The new first brigade has been ordered to withdraw from the county seat, and the little devil took advantage of the situation to occupy the county seat of Jingcheng, and then sent a force to follow and pursue our army, but was repelled by my new second brigade.At present, the little devil is just honestly staying near the county seat of Jingcheng, and there is no movement yet. ”"It's for the best."
Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then we can follow the original plan, along the way from Niangzi Pass to Jingcheng County, block the little devils, and then attract the little devils to Niangzi Pass, relying on the favorable terrain around Niangzi Pass, gradually consume the power of the little devils, and then take the opportunity to annihilate this little devil in one fell swoop, so as to ensure that our army can successfully recover Shanxi Province." ”Li Guotao was talking, when a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”Li Guotao frowned slightly, hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, took a closer look, frowned deeper, and sighed softly and said: "The headquarters sent a telegram saying that the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally attacking Chahar, suddenly left Chahar and returned to Beiping, and it seems that there are signs of going south to support Niangzi Pass. ”"Tenth Division" Political Commissar Meng couldn't help frowning and said, "If this 10th Division successfully arrives at Niangzi Pass, it will be troublesome." ”Li Guotao sighed slightly and said: "Now that the main forces of the Jizhong Military Region have withdrawn from the Jizhong region, and the main forces of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region have also gone to Chahar, in the area from Beiping, Baoding to Shimen, we have no troops that can stop this 10th Division, even if it is temporarily stopped, it is unlikely." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "This 10th Division, although it was heavily damaged by our army in Chahar before, but now the soldiers have been replenished, even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, after all, it is a standing division of the little devil book, well-equipped, with a large number of troops, and the combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated. ”Li Guotao frowned and thought for a while and said: "Calculate the time, if this little devil directly rushes to the aid of Niangzi Pass, it will take about two days to rush to the front line of Niangzi Pass, we must prepare for the worst, we must try to consume the devil's vitality in these two days, and it is best to cripple the 46th Division and the 47th Division, so that we can ensure the safety of Niangzi Pass, otherwise when the 10th Division arrives, the consequences are really unpredictable." ”"As things stand, that's all it can be."
Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "In the past two days, the main force of the Taiyue Military Region has been building fortifications in the area of Niangzi Pass, and all the fortifications have been repaired.It's just that the little devil is on the offensive side, and our army can only passively defend, if the little devil is not in a hurry to attack Niangzi Pass, but waits for the main force of the 10th Division to arrive, it will be troublesome. ”Li Guotao's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said: "This point is indeed a bit difficult to do, but the little devil is in a hurry to capture Niangzi Pass and open up the passage to Shanxi, so it shouldn't be a waste of time."
What's more, these little devils have always been arrogant, although we have inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army before, but the losses of the Japanese 46th Division and the 47th Division are not too large, and the main force is still there.With their current strength, they are not too scared to attack Niangzi Pass, and they have to wait until the reinforcements arrive.I don't think the two guys, Xuandao Gao and Da Forced Tongzhen, will not want to be shared by this 10th Division, so I guess that after the little devil captures Jingcheng County, he will definitely continue to attack Niangzi Pass. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded and said: "If that's the case, that's the best, but this is just your guess, no one can say whether the little devil will directly attack Niangzi Pass." ”Li Guotao sighed slightly and said: "So we can only see the reaction of the little devil now, so that we can not respond to all changes, anyway, the little devil can't play any tricks." ”aa2705221:
