"Wait," Commander Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that I can't stop the little devil." ”Commander Yang also understood that the current situation was quite dangerous for the Eighth Route Army, but Commander Yang was really unwilling to give up Yuan Ping like this.The chief of staff sighed helplessly and didn't say anything more.Commander Yang was unwilling in his heart, and he was unwilling in his heart.Half an hour passed, and the battle inside and outside the city continued.Although the little devils rushed into the city, the Eighth Route Army relied on the buildings in the city to resist stubbornly, and the Japanese army stormed for half an hour without much progress.At the same time, the battle outside the city was even more tragic, under the onslaught of the Japanese army, although the Eighth Route Army resisted desperately, but it was unable to block the offensive of the devils, and the positions on both flanks were frequently urgent."
No matter what, you have to block the little devils for Lao Tzu, and you have to block them at all costs, if you lose your position, Lao Tzu will shoot you."
Commander Yang roared loudly into the microphone, and hung up the phone directly after speaking.The chief of staff finally couldn't help it, frowned and said persuadly: "Commander, it's not a way to go on like this, the positions on both flanks are in an emergency, and once one of them is broken through by devils, our army may fall into the encirclement of devils."
With our current situation, if we are surrounded by little devils, it will be all over. ”Commander Yang's brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't speak, obviously hesitating in his heart.Seeing this, the chief of staff hurriedly continued: "The only way to do this is to withdraw to Xinkou and unite friendly forces to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army on the front line of Xinkou, and maybe there is a chance to turn defeat into victory."
It's time for the commander to make up his mind, if it's too late, I'm afraid it'll be too late" "Is there no other way" Commander Yang said with an unwilling face.The chief of staff shook his head helplessly.Commander Yang couldn't help but sigh deeply, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Immediately order the troops, retreat to the Xinkou defense line, and continue to block the Japanese army." ”"Yes," the chief of staff replied respectfully, and quickly turned around to convey the order.In the afternoon of the same day, Li Guotao led the new First Brigade and the new Second Brigade to leave Longquan Pass and go all the way north to Fanzhi County."
Hurry up, everyone, speed up, everyone in the back will follow, don't fall behind," a soldier of the Eighth Route Army shouted while standing on the side of the road.Li Guotao, Ma Zhenguo and others stood under a big tree on the side of the road, looking at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were constantly passing by, Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, at this speed, we can rush to Fanzhi County tonight, and strive to take Fanzhi County in one fell swoop and cut off the retreat of the devils." ”Ma Zhenguo had just arrived at Longquan Pass this morning to make peace with Li Guotao and others, and the follow-up troops, led by Political Commissar Meng, had already set off for the north.Ma Zhenguo smiled and nodded, "It is estimated that the little devils don't know that we have arrived, otherwise they would not dare to continue to attack Yuanping." ”"That's not necessarily, even if the little devils know that we have arrived, most of them will continue to attack Yuanping, because they have no other choice now, unless the Japanese 10th Division and the Taiyuan Japanese army will meet, otherwise they will not have any chance."
Li Guotao said with a serious face.As soon as the words fell, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over, and said respectfully: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is urgent" and handed over a telegram in his hand.Li Guotao hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and after just looking at it, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a lost voice: "How can this be" "What happened" Ma Zhenguo asked with a frown.Li Guotao sighed softly, did not speak, and handed the telegram to Ma Zhenguo casually.Ma Zhenguo took the telegram and read it carefully, frowned and said with a look of surprise: "How can this be, the Yuanping defense line is garrisoned by the main force of the sixth column, how can the little devil break through so quickly" Li Guotao sighed slightly and said: "The tens of thousands of troops of the sixth column stationed in the Yuanping defense line were defeated by the Japanese army in such a short period of time, which is indeed a bit surprising.But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about these things, our top priority is to rush to Fanzhi as soon as possible, cut off the retreat of the little devils, and completely surround the 10th Division of the Japanese Army. ”"Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "The matter has come to this point, and it can only be like this, now I only hope that the Xinkou defense line can block the little devil, otherwise, even if we cut off the devil's retreat, we will not be able to prevent the 10th Division and the Taiyuan Japanese army from reuniting." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately send an order down and order the troops to rush to Fanzhi County as soon as possible." ”"Yes," Ma Zhenguo replied respectfully.Under Li Guotao's order, the Eighth Route Army immediately increased its speed and rushed all the way to Fanzhi County, and arrived at Fanzhi County that night.Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Guotao immediately ordered his troops to launch an attack on Fanzhi County.The special combat team was ordered to attack, and quietly pulled out all the posts of the devils along the way, and when the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army approached the city, the little devils in the city were still unaware.Then the special combat team secretly climbed the city wall, seized the south gate in one fell swoop, opened the city, and the army of the Eighth Route Army immediately attacked the city.At this time, there were only a few hundred Japanese troops left in Fanzhi County, and they were caught off guard under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, and when the main force of the Eighth Route Army entered the city, there was no suspense in the battle, and in less than an hour, the Eighth Route Army successfully occupied Fanzhi County.Hearing the gunfire in the city gradually stopped, Li Guotao knew that the battle was basically over, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Immediately pass the order, the troops will take a short rest in Fanzhi County, and set off immediately tomorrow morning to advance in the direction of Dai County." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly ordered someone to convey the order.After the Yuanping defense line was broken, the Japanese army continued to move south, and its main force had reached the Xinkou line.But Togawa Jiro did not rush to the front line, but stayed in the county town of Haradaira for the night.The old devil was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door, Shichuan Jiro couldn't help but show a trace of anger on his face, put on his clothes and opened the door, and said with an old face unhappy: "What happened" "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, has just received news that Fanzhi County was suddenly attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the county seat was lost, and the defenders were all broken. ”The adjutant stood outside the door and said with a respectful face."
Nani" Shichuan Jiro's eyes widened suddenly, grabbed the adjutant's collar, and asked loudly: "What did you say about the loss of Fanzhi County, where did these dirt roads come from" aa2705221:
