Outside Yuanping City, in the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao held a telegram in his hand, and said excitedly: "It's really good, the special operations brigade fought this battle really beautifully, not only made the little devils restless, but also eliminated nearly 3,000 little devils, amazing" Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "Until now, I can't believe that the special operations brigade with only 600 people has achieved such brilliant results overnight, so that the friendly troops on the frontal battlefield can also relieve some pressure."
Li Guotao nodded slightly and said: "Well, the special combat team has fought a good battle, but the little devil has not been defeated so easily, and we will continue to attack Yuan Ping." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "In yesterday's battle, although we failed to break through Yuanping County, we have occupied all the positions outside Yuanping City, so what should we do next" Li Guotao couldn't help frowning, and said with a serious face: "The more we get to this time, the more we must be cautious, if we are not careful, it may lead to a total loss." ”As soon as Li Guotao's words fell, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over and said loudly: "Report to the commander, Political Commissar Meng is in an emergency." ”"Oh" Li Guotao raised his eyebrows, quickly took the telegram, only glanced at Li Guotao and exclaimed excitedly: "It's really good." ”"What happened to make you so excited," Ma Zhenguo asked with a smile.Li Guotao said excitedly: "Political Commissar Meng and they have already passed through the Wutai Mountains and rushed to Dongronghua Village in the southwest of Yuanping County.In this way, I feel that the time is ripe for a full-scale counteroffensive. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought about it for a while, nodded deeply and said: "Political Commissar Meng, they are too timely, but there are more than a thousand little devils in Yuanping County, and this little devil is based on the city, if we want to take Yuanping County, it is not so easy, unless we let Political Commissar Meng lead the main force to attack Yuanping County with us in the south, so that we will definitely be able to take Yuanping in the shortest possible time." ”"No," Li Guotao waved his hand and said, "Although your proposal is safer, it is not feasible.I think at this time Togawa Jiro is already very clear about their current situation, then the main force of the Japanese army on the Qicun front line will inevitably continue to storm the Qicun defense line, if the Qicun defense line is lost, the main force of the Japanese army is likely to take the opportunity to break through, even if it is just to let go of a little devil, it will be a failure for us. ”"Then what do you mean," Ma Zhenguo asked with a frown."
Let's not fight Yuanping first, there are only more than a thousand little devils in Yuanping County, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the surrounding area is our territory, even if they want to escape, they can't escape.Now that the positions outside the county have been occupied by us, we can completely bypass the county seat of Yuanping from the east, and then we will launch an attack to the south with the main force of the column of Commissar Meng, attack the main force of the Japanese army, and wait until our army has completely annihilated the main force of the Japanese army, and then it is not too late to go back and clean up the little devils in Yuanping. ”Li Guotao said with a serious face.Ma Zhenguo frowned and said worriedly: "But after all, there are more than a thousand little devils in Yuanping County, if our army bypasses the county seat and goes south, in case this group of little devils suddenly attacks from behind, it will be very unfavorable to our army." ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "If it was before, we really have to guard against this, but now Political Commissar Meng has led the main force to arrive, and the sixth column of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the Xinkou area can also launch an attack from the front line of Xinkou to assist our army in attacking the main force of the Japanese army."
In this way, the main force of the Japanese army has advanced to the vicinity of Qicun, and yesterday the special operations brigade annihilated a lot of little devils in Anjiazhuang, Nihe, Houchi Village and other places, so there are not many main forces of little devils in the area south of Yuanping County to Huaihua in the south, we concentrated the main force to launch an attack, and we will definitely be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and then quickly advance to the front line of Qicun to assist the main force of the 120th Division on the frontal battlefield and completely annihilate the main force of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army. ”Ma Zhenguo pondered for a moment after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.Li Guotao continued: "Of course, we can't completely let go of the little devils in Yuanping, but leaving a reinforced regiment of troops can completely contain this little devils, and then we will clean them up when we come back." ”"Okay" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, give an order immediately" Li Guotao nodded, and then said with a serious face: "Call back to Political Commissar Meng immediately, and let them overcome all difficulties and continue to attack to the west."
The new 2nd Brigade was ordered to draw out a reinforced regiment to contain the little devils living in Yuanping County, and the rest of the troops joined all the new 1st Brigade and immediately bypassed Yuanping County from the east of Yuanping County, and then launched an attack all the way to the south to meet the main force of the column led by Political Commissar Meng.Order the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons of the Special Operations Group to move freely and assist our main forces in annihilating the current enemy.The first squadron of the special operations brigade was ordered to closely monitor the dynamics of the main force of the first-line devils in Qicun, look for fighters, and attack the devils in a mobile and flexible manner. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and secretly wrote down Li Guotao's order."
And," Li Guotao continued, "immediately send a telegram to Commander Yang of the Sixth Column, asking them to launch an attack on the Japanese army from the front line of Xinkou and assist our army."
In addition, all our battle plans were reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the general headquarters of the Xinzhou front. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around to convey the order.Li Guotao breathed a long sigh of relief, beckoned a staff officer over, and ordered with a serious face: "You tell us to go down and let everyone prepare, and our headquarters will go south with the main force." ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, turning to deliver the order.Li Guotao also got up and packed up his things, in fact, Li Guotao didn't have anything to pack, put on a steel helmet, took a gun and binoculars, and walked out of the headquarters, and shouted loudly as soon as he went out: "Kou Erbao" "Arrive" Kou Erbao hurriedly ran over."
Let's go," Li Guotao said with a wave of his hand."
Where are you going?"
asked Kou Erbao with a puzzled expression."
Go kill the devil" Li Guotao said casually and strode out of the gate of the headquarters."
Yes" Kou Erbao responded excitedly, and hurriedly greeted a soldier from the guard squad and walked out of the courtyard gate with Li Guotao.aa2705221:
