With Zhao Wenzhou's limited approval, a consensus was finally reached at the meeting, which made Zhang Yunfei also breathe a sigh of relief.

The cadres of this era, even if they are political work cadres, have also come from the smoke of war, and have an indomitable character and an iron will.

It is very assertive, the axis is very, once the matter is determined, it is difficult for others to influence his thoughts, and it is not easy to convince.

As a military commander, Zhang Yunfei can exercise his decision-making power, but he doesn't want to do that, and doing too much of this kind of thing will still have a negative effect.

It's all for work, and it's second to get a bad evaluation or something, the key is that now the new Ninth Regiment team has just been built, and they are not familiar with each other, which is easy to get pimples in their hearts, and once the impression is broken, it will be difficult to resolve it, so it can be discussed as much as possible.

"Lao Zhang, then why do you say that the devils have to drive us north." Now everyone can see that the devils want them to go north, so there must be a conspiracy in the north, and it is also dangerous.

But this is even more curious, judging from the situation they have detected so far, the Japanese puppet army is not a small number of troops, but it has not been launched for a long time, and they have to wait for this mysterious force in the north, and everyone wants to know what the devil's back hand is.

For Zhao Wenzhou, who had already relented, Zhang Yunfei happily answered his question: "Political commissar, the reason is actually very simple, it is because their troops are insufficient, and there are indeed a lot of troops to intercept us, but they are divided into three routes, and each road has no absolute advantage, as long as they surround it strongly, we will inevitably choose to forcibly break through all the way, at most, it is a big sacrifice, but there is still hope that the breakthrough will succeed." ”

"As for the north, don't forget, there is a division of troops, because they want to block our base area, they can't leave their posts without permission to prevent being broken through by our army, but if we send it to the opponent and enter their defense area, it is natural for them to draw troops to deal with us, and they are not far from their own defense area, they can return to defense at any time, so as to take care of both, this group of little devils has a great appetite, and they want to annihilate us completely, this is not a good opportunity for them to start, so they have been pressuring us to retreat north."

"At the moment, it is not appropriate for us to break through to the east and west, as for the north, the devil has laid a net waiting for us, in fact, the best direction for us to break through now is the south."

"Now that we are breaking through in other directions, the devils will be prepared, so we can only do the opposite, and breaking through to the south may have unexpected results."

"It seems that the enemy is pressing from the south, and the south should be the most dangerous, but in fact, is this really the case, I don't think it is necessarily, the enemy has not launched a general attack on us for a long time, which already shows that they do not have more troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of us, that is to say, the deployment of these forces is almost to the limit, and the defensive force in their rear is not strong at this time, as long as they break through the encirclement this time, the southern region is more suitable for us to carry out guerrilla warfare next, so I have always insisted that we should not evacuate the area at this time."

"But we have to break through to the south, and this puppet army that has been biting behind has become the biggest obstacle, I mean we will fight tonight, let's act suddenly, and fight quickly, of course, we don't have to eat this puppet army completely, but at least let them lose the ability to continue to pursue us, and at the same time open a gap for us to the south."

"Even if our surprise attack fails to achieve the desired effect, it can still give the enemy a false impression that we are only blocking the enemy's tailgating, and there is no intention of breaking through to the south."

With He Jingtang's foreshadowing, coupled with Zhang Yunfei's elaboration of his views in such detail, Zhao Wenzhou has almost been convinced.

In the current situation, fighting this battle is the best choice, and he will not be blocking anything, but he still put forward his own requirements: "If this battle really has to be fought, I hope we still have to control the rhythm, and we must not expand it unlimitedly, and when it is time to transfer, we must transfer, as soon as the guns sound here, the Japanese puppet army operating on both wings will inevitably outflank it quickly, and once we are sticky, the danger is still very great." ”

Zhang Yunfei also said that now the two sides maintain a delicate balance, as long as they continue to retreat north, the Japanese puppet army will let it go, but they take the lead, then this balance is broken, even if the devil didn't think about doing it here before, then he has to make a passive move, and if it is surrounded, the same trouble.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, I don't want to see a tug-of-war and a stalemate more than anyone else, the time given to us by the puppet army in this battle will not be too sufficient, if we can tear a hole is naturally the best, if not, the battle will try not to exceed three hours, and the minimum goal is to defeat the arrogance of this group of puppet army, at least so that they can no longer keep up with us in a short time, so that we have more room to turn."

"Of course, this is the worst plan, it is best to tear the hole in this battle to break out and completely jump out of the enemy's encirclement, after all, the further back, the tighter the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, the more difficult it will be for us to break through, as long as we jump out, it will be difficult for the devil to reverse encircle us, I am always afraid of the devil in the north."

The little devil in the north is the old opponent who has been entangled with the Eighth Road, if there is only this little force in the south, he is naturally not an opponent in a head-on battle, but it is also difficult to completely block himself, and now they are surrounded on three sides, and the troops are a little stretched.

After the discussion stopped, Zhang Yunfei looked at Zhu Shanglang and He Jingtang and said: "Tell the troops, seize the time to rest and eat, distribute all the dry food of the troops to the soldiers, and check the weapons and ammunition, and after two hours, the whole regiment will attack south." ”

Zhang Yunfei issued an order: "The first company is the forward of the whole regiment, the second and third companies are acting on the flanks, the fourth company follows closely, the political commissar takes the fifth company to break off, as the general reserve, and let the fifth company send out some comrades with faster feet, let them reconnoiter to the two wings, and determine the movement of the Japanese puppet army on both wings. ”

The puppet army behind them has a regiment, and this battle is originally more than enough, and it is impossible to transfer the elite veterans of the first company to carry out reconnaissance tasks, which is tantamount to weakening the combat effectiveness of the first company, so this task can only be temporarily assigned to the fifth company to do.

The Fifth Company is a newly established company, but these people were all village guerrillas who fought traitors and puppet armies before, and running errands and sentry were first-class, so it should not be a big problem to take on reconnaissance and alert tasks.
