Tangshan, in the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao leaned on the corner of the wall, and fell asleep in a daze.In this noisy headquarters, it is impossible to get a good night's sleep, Li Guotao is really sleepy, he squinted for a while, and I don't know how long it took, Li Guotao was suddenly awakened by a sound of footsteps, opened his eyes, and just saw Ma Zhenguo standing in front of him.Ma Zhenguo was holding a telegram in his hand, and saw that Li Guotao was already asleep leaning against the corner of the wall, and he didn't want to disturb Li Guotao, but he was about to turn around and leave, when he saw that Li Guotao actually opened his eyes, he smiled a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't want to disturb the commander's rest, but I woke you up, or you should go back and sleep well" Li Guotao shook his head and said: "There are too many things now, where am I still in the mood to sleep, do you have anything to do with me" Ma Zhenguo raised the telegram in his hand and said with a smile: " Originally, it was not a particularly urgent matter, but Yang Erhu called back, saying that they had already thought of a way to ensure that they could rush to the Yutian front line before noon tomorrow. ”"Oh" Li Guotao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "What's the way" Ma Zhenguo explained with a smile: "They requisitioned all the cars in the city, plus a batch of captured trucks, to form a convoy, ready to transport the troops to Tangshan without interruption, and then rush from Tangshan to Yutian.Moreover, they also captured two trains, but for fear of being bombed by the Japanese army, the trains could only leave for Tangshan this evening.In this way, they can transport the main force of about 6,000 troops to Tangshan before dawn tomorrow. ”"Six thousand people" Li Guotao nodded slightly and said: "Six thousand people are already more than two-thirds of the main force of the new Fourth Brigade, with the addition of these six thousand troops, it should be enough Yang Erhu did a good job in this matter, I thought this guy would complain to me that he couldn't complete the task" Ma Zhenguo explained with a smile: "This idea was not thought up by Yang Erhu, but by a young staff officer at the headquarters of the new Fourth Brigade, it is said that this young man used to be a college student, Two years ago, I gave up my pen and joined our Eighth Route Army, serving as a staff officer at the brigade headquarters, responsible for some logistical work. ”Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's very good to give this young man a great credit, I want to say that these college students, all of them are full of enthusiasm, if they are allowed to go to war and charge into battle, maybe they are not good, but this brain is much more flexible than our big bosses" "Yes" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "This time Yang Erhu not only used all the vehicles, but this afternoon, the troops will set off lightly and go to Tangshan, in order to shorten the transportation of the transport team.
In this way, the fighters could take a car halfway to Tangshan.It can be said that in order to complete this mission, the new Fourth Brigade is also fighting this time" Li Guotao nodded and said with a serious face: "The little devil has planes, artillery, and tanks.And we have nothing, only full of blood, the spirit of perseverance, and the belief in victory, so we can only fight, only in this way can we completely drive the little devils out of China and achieve a comprehensive victory in the War of Resistance against Japan. ”"Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded approvingly and said, "Commander, I see that you are also tired, it is better to go back and sleep and recuperate."
Our seven-column tens of thousands of troops still need your command, you can't be tired" Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "No, we will never collapse."
After squinting for a moment, I felt more energetic.Now that my worst worries have been solved, I have decided to rush to the Yutian front now, tomorrow will be a decisive battle with the Japanese army, and there are still many things to prepare, so I must rush to the Yutian front as soon as possible. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and asked, "Then do you want me to go with you." ”Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be in such a hurry, you can prepare first, and you can rush over early tomorrow morning As for Tangshan, it will be handed over to Political Commissar Meng, you inform him, he is also very responsible now, if you can help him share some of it, try to help him share some of it." ”"I understand," Ma Zhenguo nodded and said.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said, "If there is nothing else, then I will leave first, and if any situation occurs, you must notify me in time." ”"Yes," Ma Zhenguo responded.Li Guotao waved his hand, signaling that Ma Zhenguo didn't need to send it, and then turned around and walked out.After Li Guotao left the headquarters, he took a team of guards and rode to Yutian, and was bombed and strafed by devil planes on the way, fortunately Li Guotao was more alert, and led people to hide in a wood, but even so, a soldier was killed, and two horses were frightened away, and they didn't know where to go.After the Japanese planes left, everyone dared to come out and continue to hurry, because of the delay on the road, when they arrived in Yutian, it was already noon, and when they approached the county seat, they could hear bursts of dense gunfire in the distance, obviously the front line was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.Li Guotao went directly into the county seat, and after asking the location of the front-line headquarters, he hurried over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Changde holding a half-eaten steamed bun in one hand, and was explaining the task to several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, "Hello commander" The two staff officers saw Li Guotao come in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted a military salute.Li Guotao raised his hand and returned a military salute and strode into the command headquarters.Changde heard the movement behind him, and hurriedly turned around to look, and saw Li Guotao walking in, with a hint of ecstasy on his face, greeted him with a smile, and laughed: "Lao Li, you can be regarded as coming" Li Guotao frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Why, I haven't seen you for two days, and you miss me" "That's, I almost want to kill you, you don't know, I've been suffocating me to death for the past two days, hiding in this headquarters all day, it seems easy, but seeing that the front line is fighting so fiercely, I can only be anxious." ”Chang De shook his head and said with resentment."
Yohe, it seems that it is my fault that I let you be the commander-in-chief of this former enemy," Li Guotao said with a blank face and a look of displeasure.Chang De said with a smile: "Don't you know me, if you want to say that this charge, I didn't say it."
But to say that commanding, especially commanding tens of thousands of troops, I really don't have the ability to do this" aa2705221:
