Li Guotao returned to his residence and squinted for a while, got up again before dawn, and hurried to the headquarters.As soon as he entered the door, he asked loudly: "How is the situation now?"
The communications staff officer hurriedly greeted him and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, I just received a message from the cavalry division, and the cavalry division has arrived at the designated position. ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Is there any news from the armored division, where have they arrived now?"
"Report to the commander, the armored division has arrived, and the troops are gathering ten miles behind the position of my newly formed fourth division. ”The communications staff officer hurriedly replied.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was only four o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet dawn At this moment, Lin Feng and Huang Yanyun hurriedly walked in.Huang Yanyun said with a smile: "Commander, why don't you rest for a while, it's still early" Li Guotao waved his hand and said: "Haha I'm going to fight, I'm excited, where can I still sleep" Lin Feng said a few words to the staff officer on duty, and then walked up to Li Guotao and said with a serious face: "Commander, all the units of our new Fourth Division are ready, when will we launch an attack" "Don't worry, we have to wait." ”Li Guotao shook his head lightly, and said with a serious face: "The aviation division will provide us with air support, there is no news yet, we will wait for the news of the aviation division before making a decision." ”"Okay" Lin Feng nodded, then took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Li Guotao, and said with a smile: "Let's smoke and smoke first to refresh yourself" "It's okay" Li Guotao reached out and took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff.Lin Feng frowned slightly and said: "What I'm worried about now is what if the little devil notices it and suddenly retreats" Li Guotao said indifferently: "The 24th Division of the Japanese Army, with a total of more than 20,000 troops, and a large number of heavy equipment and materials, if you want to quickly transfer and escape, where is it so easy."
It would be better if they did retreat, and if we attacked directly, we might be able to defeat them more easily. ”The two were talking, Yang Xuecheng hurriedly walked in with a few people, Li Guotao and others hurriedly greeted him, Yang Xuecheng raised his hand and saluted, and said with a smile: "Yang Xuecheng, the commander of the armored division, led his troops to report, we are not late" "Haha" Li Guotao raised his hand and returned a military salute, and said with a smile: "Old Yang, you came at the right time." ”Yang Xuecheng said with a smile: "We were in a hurry along the way, and finally came over before dawn." ”Li Guotao said with a smile: "It's so hard for you." ”"Haha, as long as you can win the battle, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."
Yang Xuecheng said with a smile.Lin Feng said with emotion: "It's still the speed of the mechanized troops, and they have traveled nearly four hundred miles in one night, which was simply unimaginable before." ”Yang Xuecheng said with a smile: "That's natural, no matter how fast a person's speed is, he can't run the wheels of the car" Huang Yanyun said excitedly: "Now that the main force of the armored division has arrived, we have a chance to win this battle" Yang Xuecheng said with an urgent face: "Commander, since we have arrived, when will the soldiers launch an attack, they can't wait" Li Guotao said with a smile: "I think you can't wait, but you just arrived, you have to let the soldiers take a breath, wait, And we are still waiting for news from the aeronautics. ”"Okay then, then we'll wait," Yang Xuecheng said with a smile and nodded.Li Guotao nodded and said: "Since everyone has arrived, let's discuss it, and after the attack begins, the new third division will be responsible for launching an attack from the front to contain the main force of the devil." ”"Yes," Lin Feng and Huang Yanyun replied in unison.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his right hand, pointed to the map and said: "After the attack begins, the armored division will concentrate all its efforts on attacking the right flank of the Japanese army, tearing apart the Japanese defense line as soon as possible, and then continue to penetrate the Japanese army in depth, striving to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army as soon as possible and defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop." ”"It's a guarantee to get the job done."
Yang Xuecheng swore and promised."
Very good" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, the communications staff officer hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, the air division has called, our army's fighter planes have taken off, and if everything is normal, it will be able to rush to the front line in about an hour to provide air support for our army." ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded excitedly, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and then said with a serious face: "It's now four and fifteen in the morning, five o'clock in the morning, all the troops are concentrated with all their artillery to carry out artillery bombardment on the Japanese position, and it is expected that around half past five, the troops will launch an attack on the whole front." ”"Yes," Yang Xuecheng and the others replied in unison.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and all troops must make all preparations in advance to prevent accidents and be ready to attack at any time." ”Everyone nodded, and then Yang Xuecheng spoke: "Since this is the case, then I will go back and prepare first, if there is any special situation, the commander will notify me again The communication corps has already pulled up the telephone line, and it is okay to call when the time comes." ”"It's okay" Li Guotao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then Lao Yang will go back first." ”Yang Xuecheng nodded, raised his hand and saluted a standard military salute, then turned around and left in a hurry.Li Guotao looked at the back of Yang Xuecheng leaving, sighed softly and said: "This battle is very important, and there must be no mistakes."
We must completely annihilate the 24th Division in one fell swoop, and then we have a chance to recover Tonghua in one fell swoop.According to the task assigned to us by the headquarters, our seventh column should take Tonghua as the center and establish a stable anti-Japanese base area, so we must successfully take Tonghua.Although the armored division will fully assist us in this battle, the responsibility of our newly formed 3rd Division is also very heavy, so I hope that you will do your best to overcome all difficulties in order to achieve a complete victory in this battle. ”Lin Feng swore and promised: "Please rest assured, commander, our newly formed Third Division will definitely go all out to cooperate with the armored division and strive to annihilate this 24th Division in one fell swoop." ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "I am very happy that you can have this confidence, this time let our brothers work together to win this battle." ”aa2705221:
