"I don't want to listen to these excuses.I only know that your progress is too slow now, if you continue to delay like this, it will not only affect the victory or defeat of the entire battle, but even affect the life and death of my Rehe hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army, so I order you to take Chengde as soon as possible at all costs," Li Guotao roared loudly into the microphone.After Li Guotao finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, Commander Song of the Pingxi Military Region is calling." ”Li Guotao frowned slightly when he heard this, ran to another telephone in three steps and two steps, picked up the phone, and said with a serious face: "Hey, Commander Song, I am Li Guotao." ”"Commander Li, the troops have been fighting for a day, and the soldiers are already very tired, can you temporarily stop the attack and let the soldiers rest?"
said Commander Song on the other side with a pleading tone.Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said: "Commander Song, it's not that I don't want the soldiers to rest, it's that we can't rest, and the Japanese army is seizing the time to send reinforcements to support Rehe, if we can't take Chengde as soon as possible, it will put our army in an extremely passive situation."
We are tired, the little devils are more tired than us, and now what we fight for is perseverance, whoever can persevere to the end will be able to achieve the final victory.So we simply don't have time to stop now and let the fighters rest. ”Li Guotao paused, and then said: "Also, as you saw today, the little devil has dispatched hundreds of planes one after another, if it weren't for our aviation regiment desperately intercepting it, our losses would have been quite heavy."
And now the aviation regiment has suffered heavy losses in order to cover us, if we can't take Chengde yet, are we worthy of the comrades of the aviation regiment, are we worthy of the trust of the headquarters, now that it's dark, it's impossible for the little devil planes to bomb us again, and the opportunity is rare, we must seize the time and use the time tonight to solve the battle in Chengde as soon as possible.If we wait until daylight tomorrow, when the devils have planes to help us fight, it will be even more difficult for us to take Chengde. ”"I understand that I will order the troops to continue the offensive and strive to take Chengde tonight," Commander Song said with a firm expression."
Okay" Li Guotao nodded, and then hung up the phone.At this time, Ma Zhenguo came over and said excitedly: "I have good news here, I have just received a telegram from the new 3rd Brigade and the 5th Brigade that our army has successfully captured Gubeikou and completely annihilated the Japanese army in Gubeikou. ”"Okay, this is indeed good news" Li Guotao smiled and nodded, and said: "Order the new Fifth Brigade to stay at Gubeikou, and the new Third Brigade will go to Xifengkou after a short rest and recuperation, and assist the local defenders to resist the Japanese attack."
The Pingxi Military Region was ordered to support the troops of Gubeikou and immediately return north to Chengde to stand by. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.The battle in the city of Chengde continued, and under the orders of Li Guotao, the troops continued to intensify their offensive and attacked Chengde overnight.At about eight o'clock in the evening of the same day, the Ninth Column successfully opened a gap at the south gate, and a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army poured into the city from the south city.An hour later, the troops of the Pingxi Military Region successfully tore through the defense line of Xicheng and broke into the city of Chengde, which became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army.A large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army entered the city, making the little devils completely in a desperate situation, although the remaining little devils still desperately resisted, but in the face of the multi-faceted siege of the Eighth Route Army, all the dying struggles were in vain.On a small hillside about ten miles east of Pingquan County, Yang Dashan, who had been promoted to platoon commander, leaned on a big tree, sat on a big rock, looked up at the night sky in the west, and showed a hint of yearning on his face, but Yang Dashan did not forget his task, and glanced at the road under the mountain from time to time.A soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him, seeing Yang Dashan turning to look at the west from time to time, couldn't help but complain: "It's really boring, other troops are attacking Chengde, but they put our new Fourth Brigade in Pingquan, so we can only watch other troops kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”"Come on, look at it, what do you see, we don't even have a chance to get past it," the other fighter scoffed.It is true that this place is already dozens of miles away from Chengde, even if the eyesight is good, what can you see Yang Dashan couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with a displeased face: "Shut up, the commander asked our new Fourth Brigade to come to Pingquan, but it is not for us to play, my main army is besieging Chengde, and the little devil will inevitably send troops to support, and when the devil's reinforcements arrive, are you still worried that there is no battle" As soon as Yang Dashan spoke, the two soldiers immediately closed their mouths obediently, and after a while, a wolf howl suddenly came from the mountains and forests in the distance.When Yang Dashan heard this voice, he immediately stood up and looked nervously at the east road.Because it wasn't really a wolf howl at all, but from the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in front, this signal meant that the little devil was coming.Sure enough, after a while, at the foot of the mountain in the distance, a car lamp suddenly appeared, and a three-wheeled motorcycle and truck turned around the foot of the mountain and slowly drove along the highway to this side.Yang Dashan's expression immediately became serious, and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and send a signal, the little devil is coming" "Ou" Several wolf howls sounded on several mountain peaks one after another, and gradually passed to the west."
You guys retreat immediately," Yang Dashan then ordered."
What about you," one of the fighters asked."
I'm going to stay and continue to investigate, at least I have to find out how many devils are in general strength, so that I can explain when I go back."
Yang Dashan said with a serious face."
Platoon commander, then I'll stay with you.""
Let's go together," the four fighters said."
Less nonsense, the more people remain, the more dangerous it is, you retreat quickly, this is an order, it must be carried out."
Yang Dashan said with a serious face."
But" The other soldier wanted to say something more, but as soon as he spoke, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Dashan."
There's nothing, but if you still recognize me as a platoon leader, retreat for me now."
Yang Dashan said undoubtedly."
Yes" The four soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to respond, and reluctantly walked down the mountain.aa2705221:
