Political Commissar Lu glanced at Li Guotao, and said with a dissatisfied face: "You can still laugh, the current situation is much worse than we expected, if this trend continues, let alone ten days, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for even seven days." ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "It's only been a day since the fight, and the political commissar has lost confidence.You think, we're all thinking so now, and that little devil will definitely think that we can't hold out for even three days.I guess Yamada Otozo must have started preparing the celebration wine by now. ”Political Commissar Lu couldn't help frowning, and began to ponder Li Guotao's words carefully, and after a while, he said: "You mean, the little devil thinks that he has the chance to win, and he will definitely relax his vigilance." ”Li Guotao smiled and said, "You can also say that.Now that the Japanese army is in the limelight and progressing well, in Yamada's opinion, victory has begun to beckon him.In this way, this old devil will definitely focus more attention on Qiqihar, and will ignore Chifeng in the south even more.At that time, even if the main force of our army launches a large-scale counteroffensive on the southern front, do you think Yamada Otozo will easily give up the victory that is close at hand, and then this old devil will definitely be even more entangled and hesitated, and then our opportunity will come. ”Political Commissar Lu nodded, frowned and said: "Aren't you worried, we fail on the northern front, even if we win on the southern front, if we are defeated on the northern front, it shouldn't be a victory for us" Li Guotao nodded noncommittally and said: "I've already thought about it, just relying on the current defense line, it is indeed a little difficult to block the devil's attack."
But we still have Qiqihar, Qiqihar City has thick walls, the little devils have been operating here for many years, and have built complete fortifications, if it weren't for the main force of the devils who were annihilated by us outside the city, we want to capture Qiqihar, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.Now, if we rely on Qiqihar's fortifications and various strategic materials stored in the city, it will not be a problem to hold out for at least seven or eight days.If we really can't do it, we can only retreat to Qiqihar, and when a breakthrough is made on the southern front, the Japanese army will definitely move troops south in a panic, so our opportunity will come. ”Political Commissar Lu frowned and nodded, and said with a worried face: "If it is really like what you said, the front line can't be defended, retreat to Qiqihar, the Japanese army will definitely surround Qiqihar, even if we can't enter the city for a while, we can be trapped." ”Li Guotao nodded noncommittally and said, "Political commissar, please rest assured, with me, I will definitely not get to that point."
What's more, little devils may not have that much ability. ”Looking at Li Guotao, who was full of confidence, Political Commissar Lu shook his head with a wry smile, he really didn't understand where Li Guotao's confidence came from.He sighed softly and said, "According to the plan, the new 1st Division and the 2nd New Division will set off overnight tonight to rush to the area north of Chifeng, and then cooperate with the main force of our army in Rehe to take Chifeng."
Now I only hope that the main forces on the southern front will go well, so that the sacrifices we have made are not in vain. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "The headquarters has been preparing for this battle for a long time, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”While the two were talking, Ma Zhenguo hurriedly walked back, with a smile on his face, and said impatiently: "I finally received a good news here." ”"Good news, what good news" Political Commissar Lu asked with a puzzled look on his face, he really couldn't think of any good news coming now.Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "I just received a telegram from Commander Meng of the Jilin Military Region, Commander Meng led the main force of the Jilin Military Region to the north to attack the Mudanjiang area.This morning, the main force of our Jilin Military Region, with the assistance of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, concentrated 50,000 troops and launched an attack on the Mudanjiang River, recovering the Mudanjiang River in one fell swoop this evening, and completely annihilating the enemy forces in the city."
This is indeed good news, Lao Meng did a good job this time."
Political Commissar Lu said excitedly.After Li Guotao heard the news, his spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the map, thought for a while, and then said with a cautious face: "Since our army has recovered the Mudanjiang River, if we continue to march in the direction of Harbin and threaten the rear of the Japanese army on the East Road, it can also relieve some pressure on our army." ”Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "As the so-called heroes see the same thing, Commander Meng also expressed this meaning in the telegram, hoping to lead his troops to continue to advance in the direction of Harbin, so as to contain the Japanese army and respond to our army's defense of Qiqihar." ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded excitedly and said: "Notify Lao Meng immediately, and let them lead their troops to advance in the direction of Harbin immediately."
But at the same time, they were reminded to avoid a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army as much as possible, in order to contain the Japanese army and preserve their own strength. ”"I'm going to call Commander Meng back."
Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and hurriedly walked in the direction of the confidential room.Li Guotao turned around and glanced at Political Commissar Lu, and said with a smile: "Our big political commissar finally smiled, it's really not easy" "Haha" Political Commissar Lu couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said: "You kid has reached this time, and you are still making fun of me."
Lao Meng, they fought a big victory, and I am of course very happy.But even so, it can't fundamentally solve our current predicament, so now is not the time to be happy" Li Guotao said with a smile: "The current little devils are just grasshoppers after the autumn, no matter how much they jump, they can still be jumping for a few days" "Report to the commander, the second brigade of the special operations brigade is in an emergency." ”At this time, a staff officer hurriedly walked over with a telegram and said respectfully.Li Guotao nodded slightly, took the telegram with a serious face, read it carefully, raised his head and said to Political Commissar Lu with a smile: "This good news is really one after another Xu Feihu has rushed to the vicinity of Anda with the second special operations team, they plan to attack the Eastern Railway tonight, and the target they chose is Song Station, so as to destroy the logistics supply line of the Japanese army." ”Song Station is a small station on the Eastern Railway, located between Anda and Harbin.It is said that when the railway was being built, there was a foreman surnamed Song, and this station was named Song Station.aa2705221:
