In the evening of the same day, Li Guotao led the special operations brigade and the teaching regiment to Qian'an County.The teaching regiment is a unit directly under the Seventh Column, and it is one of the most elite regiments of the Seventh Column.Even if it is the most demanding special operations brigade, when it needs to replenish its troops, it will generally be directly drawn from the training regiment, which shows that the soldiers of the training regiment are definitely elite.However, the Corps generally rarely participates in specific combat missions, as one of its main responsibilities is to train recruits.Therefore, it is only at some critical moments that Li Guotao will use this force.Yang Erhu, commander of the newly formed Fourth Brigade, personally welcomed Li Guotao, Zhao Yunfei, and Wei Xiaodong, the head of the teaching regiment, into the headquarters.After Li Guotao sat down, he asked Yang Erhu with a smile: "How is the situation now?"
Yang Erhu said with a smile: "During the day today, we have launched several attacks on the Kwantung Army in the direction of Changli, but the little devil is very cautious, just blindly defending, the battle has been fought sporadically for a whole day, and there are casualties on both sides, but our army has not made any substantial progress. ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "You don't have to care, our purpose now is just to disrupt the deployment of the devils and confuse the little devils, and it doesn't necessarily have to be any progress to be considered victory." ”"Well, I understand."
Yang Erhu nodded, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, Commander, you came to Qian'an this time, and you also brought the two aces of the Special Operations Brigade and the Teaching Regiment, is there any big move." ”"Haha" Li Guotao said with a smile: "Your kid's nose is quite smart, but it's not time yet, so I can't tell you for the time being." ”"You don't even tell me, it's so mysterious," Yang Erhu couldn't help frowning and asked.Li Guotao said with a smile: "If you don't maintain some mystery, how can I, the commander, serve the public" "Haha" Yang Erhu laughed, although he was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask too much, and said casually: "You have come from afar, you must be tired, rest here for a while, and then go back to rest early, I have already asked someone to arrange a place for you to live" Li Guotao nodded, turned to Zhao Yunfei and Wei Xiaodong and ordered: "You two immediately arrange for the soldiers to rest early, and you have enough spirits, It is estimated that we still have important tasks to carry out by tomorrow night at the latest. ”"Yes" The two responded respectfully, then got up to say hello to Yang Erhu, and hurriedly left the headquarters.Li Guotao picked up the tea jar on the table, drank the water in the jar, got up and stretched, and said to Yang Erhu with a smile: "Okay, I'm also tired, go back and rest first, if there is nothing to do, then let's talk about it tomorrow" Yang Erhu nodded and said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to take someone to rest." ”Li Guotao nodded slightly, turned around and walked outside the house.The next day, according to Li Guotao's order, the newly formed 4th Brigade continued to launch a tentative attack on the Japanese army in the direction of Changli, and the rest of the troops also launched several offensives against the Japanese 27th Division, but the scale of the battle was not large, and the Japanese army was still the same as the day before, just blindly defending.As for the Gubeikou side, because the Eighth Route Army has always put on an offensive posture, the Japanese army has some scruples, so it can only increase troops to Gubeikou again, and the Japanese army in Gubeikou has increased to about 10,000 people, in addition to about 10,000 puppet troops to assist in the defense.With such a strong force and the dangerous terrain of Gubeikou, the Japanese army was enough to rest easy, and in Qian'an County, Li Guotao always stayed in the city, and the Special Operations Brigade successively sent two squadrons to leave the county seat in batches, and in the afternoon, the teaching regiment also sent more than 1,000 people to leave the county seat and rush to the north of Zunhua to station.In the evening, Li Guotao finally left the county seat, and at the same time, the main forces of the special operations brigade and the teaching regiment also left the county seat and drove north.Before leaving Qian'an, Li Guotao specially explained to Yang Erhu and ordered him to take advantage of the night to retreat all the main forces of the newly formed Fourth Brigade to Qian'an.Although Yang Erhu didn't know Li Guotao's specific plan, he also guessed that Li Guotao was going to do it, so without any hesitation, he immediately ordered all the troops to return to Qian'an.After Li Guotao left Qian'an County, he walked all the way north for more than 30 miles, and then stopped in a small mountain village, at this time it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, the mountain village was silent, and there were guards by the Eighth Route Army along the way and at the entrance of the village.Then, under the guidance of a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, he came to a civilian house, which was Li Guotao's temporary headquarters.At this time, Zhao Yunfei and Wei Xiaodong were already waiting here in advance.After everyone met and said hello, Li Guotao glanced at the map on the table, and asked with a serious face: "How about this battle, how sure are you about it?"
Zhao Yunfei took the lead in replying: "Today, we have clearly reconnoitred the defense of the Japanese puppet army in the surrounding area, and in my judgment, we are at least seventy percent sure." ”Wei Xiaodong nodded and said, "I'm not as optimistic as Captain Zhao, but I think we are at least fifty percent sure." ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Whether it is 50% certainty or 70%, we must make 12% efforts to strive for the probability of success to 10%.Since its establishment, our Seventh Column has won every battle, and even if it occasionally encounters some setbacks, it has been able to turn defeat into victory in a timely manner, and finally achieve a comprehensive victory.I hope we continue to keep up this record, but we can't capsize in this little gutter. ”"I ask the commander to rest assured that we will be able to succeed this time."
Zhao Yunfei and Wei Xiaodong replied confidently."
Hmm" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "Before I came, you should have already discussed, tell me about your plan" Zhao Yunfei glanced at Wei Xiaodong, and Wei Xiaodong glanced at Zhao Yunfei.Li Guotao said impatiently: "You two don't have to be humble to each other, who said it's not the same, so let's Wei Xiaodong, you will say it first" Wei Xiaodong smiled, nodded and said: "Then I'm welcome" said and picked up a wooden stick and pointed to the map, and said with a serious face: "Look, this is a cold mouth" aa2705221:
