Xuandao Gao was still a little hesitant, and at this time, a little devil officer hurriedly ran over, and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the commander of the report division, Your Excellency the commander called back, let us temporarily retreat to Jingcheng County in case of accidents, and wait until the supplies of the imperial army arrive, and then launch an attack on Niangzi Pass." ”Hearing this, Odori couldn't help but sigh deeply, obviously Tada Jun finally adopted this conservative strategy after some hesitation.Xuan Dao Gao couldn't help but sigh deeply, gritted his teeth and scolded loudly: "These damn dirt roads of Baga Yalu, I will definitely not let them go." ”Although they are still a little unwilling in their hearts, they have no choice now.Da Qiang Tongzhen also sighed, and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, then give an order, according to the order of His Excellency Commander Tada, immediately withdraw to Jingcheng County." ”"Hai" The devil officer responded respectfully, and quickly turned around and ran to deliver the order.In the headquarters of the Taiyue Military Region, Li Guotao, Commander Chen and others were discussing something around the sand table.Li Guotao pointed to the sand table and said: "Now the heavy supplies of the Japanese army have been basically destroyed, and the materials they urgently allocated have also been destroyed by us, that is to say, the little devils will not get any material supplies in the short term, if we can surround them outside the Niangzi Pass at this time, it will not take two days, the little devils will run out of food, and it will not be difficult to eliminate them at that time." ”"However, it is still impossible to determine that the train that was blown up last night is the devil's baggage special train, and even if that train is really the devil's baggage special train, we can't be sure how long it will take for the little devil to deploy enough materials to support Niangzi Pass, maybe three or four days, maybe only one day, the little devil can deploy enough military supplies, no one can say, so I think it is still a bit risky to launch a counteroffensive at this time."
At this time, a staff officer suddenly spoke.Commander Chen also frowned when he heard this, and began to hesitate, if he really followed what Li Guotao said, he could completely surround this group of little devils, and he would be able to take the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop, but Commander Chen was also worried that if the devil's supplies arrived at the front line in time, then the Eighth Route Army would not have any advantages, and it was very likely to lead to the complete failure of the counteroffensive plan.Li Guotao just wanted to open his mouth to refute, when a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Report chief, I just received a report from the front line, and the little devil began to move on a large scale, and it seems that he is about to retreat. ”"The little devil is going to withdraw" Li Guotao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked."
It's not certain yet, but it looks like it's going to be a retreat."
The Eighth Route Army soldier hurriedly replied."
Great."
Li Guotao said excitedly: "Now the situation is obvious, the little devils lack heavy supplies and cannot be replenished for the time being, and the little devils are also aware of the danger, so they will retreat."
My guess is that the little devils are likely to retreat to Jingcheng County, and then wait for supplies to arrive before launching a counterattack.Commander Chen, we must not miss this opportunity, we must not let the little devils easily withdraw to Jingcheng County. ”"Then what do you mean," Commander Chen asked with a frown."
Immediately launch the whole front, even if you can't completely stop the little devils, at least take the opportunity to annihilate some of the little devils, and then try to surround the Japanese army in Jingcheng County.As long as the little devils are surrounded in Jingcheng County, even if they are trapped, they can be trapped to death. ”Li Guotao said excitedly.Commander Chen is not a person who is indecisive, knowing that the opportunity cannot be missed, he slapped the table and said with a serious face: "Just do as you say, immediately send orders to all troops, immediately prepare to attack, and wait until the Japanese army begins to retreat, immediately launch a full-scale counteroffensive and defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop." ”"Yes," a group of headquarters staff officers around them replied in unison, and then turned around to convey the order.Li Guotao hurriedly picked up the phone on the table and connected to the headquarters, it was Ma Zhenguo who answered the phone, Li Guotao said with a serious face: "Immediately order the new Fourth Brigade to prepare to launch a counteroffensive on the whole front, and once the friendly forces of the Taiyue Military Region launch an attack, immediately launch a counteroffensive on the whole line without reservation."
In addition, the new 1st Brigade and the new 2nd Brigade were ordered to immediately launch an attack on Beiyu to create pressure on the little devils.The newly formed 3rd Brigade was ordered to immediately counterattack Shang'an Town and cut off the connection between Jingcheng County and Huolu County. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo replied respectfully, and then hung up the phone.After Li Guotao put down the phone, he turned to look at Commander Chen and said: "The victory or defeat of this battle is directly related to whether our army can successfully recover Shanxi, which can be said to be very important, and I will rush back to personally command the troops."
Commander Chen frowned and nodded, and said: "But if you want to eliminate this little devil in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it's not so easy, if the little devil escapes back to Jingcheng County, with the current strength of our army, if you want to storm the county seat and eliminate this little devil, even if you can succeed, you will inevitably end up with a lose-lose outcome."
It's a pity that judging from the current situation, our army can't stop the little devil from escaping back to Jingcheng County. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "Yes, if we knew last night that the Quyang Independent Regiment blew up the devil's material train, we should have occupied Beiyu and cut off the devil's retreat."
It's a pity, but I didn't expect such a change to happen, and I missed the opportunity.However, even if you can't stop the devils from escaping back to Jingcheng County, it is not difficult to defeat this little devil.When the little devils are surrounded, they will definitely be more anxious than us, and then our chance will come. ”Commander Chen thought about Li Guotao's words for a while, then understood, nodded with a smile and said: "You're right, it seems that I'm too worried" Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Since there is nothing else, then I'll go back first" As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the door, calling Kou Erbao over at the door, and the group hurried back to the headquarters together.Commander Chen looked at Li Guotao's departing back, nodded with a smile and said, "This Li Guotao is really a lucky general, I was still worried that Niangzi Pass would be lost, but now we don't have to worry about it at all." ”In any case, now that the Eighth Route Army is basically invincible, if there is any change, only the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is an uncertain factor, but with the 6th Column and the 120th Division responsible for dealing with the 10th Division, there is no need to worry for the time being, so Commander Chen is still very happy in his heart.aa2705221:
