Commander-in-Chief Zhu and General Peng of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters received a report that the advance army of the island army, Captain Yamada, had a fierce battle with the Jin Yuan Sui Army in Zhangjiawan, ten miles in front of Niangzi Pass in Pingding County, and the Jin Sui Army went all out, fought bravely and defeated the Yamada Brigade, almost completely annihilating the Yamada Brigade, and then the Japanese army supporting saw that the situation was not right, and immediately turned around and withdrew to the town of Yuyu, it seems that in order to protect his lair, Chief Yan is determined to fight against the devil this time, no matter what? This is also a big victory since the war between China and the island countries, and the Eighth Route Army should organize its troops to win several battles, and don't let someone say that we communists shout empty slogans, but do not see action. The order sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Jinsui Army to congratulate them, and then to the 120th and 129th divisions, and military cadres at and above the regimental level came to the headquarters for a meeting to discuss the deployment of military operations.

Chief Yan was standing in front of the map of Shanxi with a sad face, watching and thinking about the menacing offensive line of the island army! Datong has been lost, Taiyuan is being attacked by the island army of Datong Jingcheng County, Taiyuan is dangerous! The morale of the army is unstable, and it is not possible to defend the friendly forces on all sides.

Suddenly, the Chief of Communications rushed in with a telegram on his face without knocking! Let people know at a glance that something big has happened again, could it be that Pingding County has been lost, Chief Yan pondered in his heart, there is no good news during this time. roared: "What are you panicking about? Did the fire burn the ass? And there are no rules. ”

Director Qin of the Telecommunications Department immediately stood up: "Report to the commander-in-chief!" Mr. Zhu and General Peng of the Eighth Route Army sent congratulatory messages to congratulate the 123rd Regiment of the Jin Sui Army on its victory in the direction of Pingding County! ”

"What? Good news! Pingding County is a big victory! There is such a thing, does he have the ability to do this? With the strength of one regiment in Pingding County, it would be good to be able to hold it for a day or two? How could it be possible to defeat the army of the island country, and now the whole Shanxi is panicked? The Eighth Route Army came and didn't see action, why did it have few personnel? Poorly equipped? They keep denouncing military supplies and equipment, etc., but they only know what to say about side cooperation, and they don't fight head-on. Chief Yan Xi said angrily. While holding the telegram in his hand, he congratulated the 123rd Regiment of the Jin Sui Army on its annihilation of the Yamada Brigade, the advance brigade of the island country, in the direction of Pingding County, which was inspiring! It inspired the confidence that the war of resistance will be won! Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army September 18, 37.

Chief Yan's hand holding the telegram trembled, is this true? Why didn't you get a report from the head of the 123rd regiment? It is impossible for him not to report this big event, but the Eighth Route Army will never say anything, they have always been fast and accurate in intelligence work, and the two generals, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng, would not make such jokes. Looking at the telegram in his hand, he was both excited and more expectant, if it was true, the Jin Suijun showed his face this time, and the central army was defeated and retreated, and did not win a single battle.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was so excited, Director Qin stepped forward and poured a glass of water and handed it to him and said, "Is the commander-in-chief real, just make it clear by calling and asking, maybe they really won?" "The withdrawal of the Yamada brigade was immediately reported.

Chief Yan said excitedly: "Okay, fight, I'll call and ask in person." ”

Regiment Commander Liu was worried about such a large casualty in the troops, when the phone rang suddenly, and when he took the phone, he heard that it was the commander-in-chief calling, his legs trembled and he almost couldn't stand steadily. It can't be that you got the news to ask for the guilt, right?

Sure enough, the voice of Commander-in-Chief Yan came from his ears: "Xiao Liu! If something so big happens, don't report it right away. Surrender Pingding County to your 123rd Regiment for defense, you have lived up to my trust and high hopes! For the first time, we played the majesty of our Jin Sui Army, and actually disabled the Yamada Brigade, which is very remarkable! I will reward the 123rd Regiment heavily, from now on you will be the brigade commander of the Major General, and at the same time reward you with 50,000 oceans! Every word and every voice could be heard in Commander Yan's incomparable excitement.

Head Liu heard it in a fog, and didn't know what was going on for a while? I was worried about severe punishment just now, and I didn't know how to report the situation here to the command. Receiving a call is a reward! Holding the phone, he was still stunned and couldn't believe the fact, Commander Yan's tone was really happy, and there was no blame at all. Don't you really care about the losses of the 123rd regiment, and only care about how many devils you killed? Yes, the 1st and 2nd battalions suffered heavy losses. But in the early stage of the war, it did eliminate fifty or sixty devils, and it was an elite Yamada brigade that was good at fighting.

It took a while for Regiment Commander Liu to react, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and hurriedly straightened his waist in front of the table, and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief Yan, I am about to report to the command headquarters on the situation of yesterday's battle, mainly because there are too many wounded, and many things are still being verified and counted. ”

Commander-in-Chief Yan laughed and said, "Xiao Liu! Fighting a war will not avoid casualties, and this is a fact that no one can change. We all have to face the reality and not be pessimistic, right? This time, you have made a great contribution and given Jin Suijun a long face! I will replenish you this afternoon with two battalions of soldiers, equipped with two battalions of elite weapons. At the same time, the commander of the regiment Ma stationed in Xiyang will be under your command, and now that the war is imminent, immediately arrange for a reporter from Taiyuan Daily to come with the troops in the afternoon to cover and report, and call on the whole Jin Sui army to learn from your unit and boost morale. Let our fathers and fellow villagers in Shanxi, and the people of the whole country know that our Jin unified army is sincerely fighting against the devils to defend Shanxi, although the great land has been lost, but we will not easily give up a piece of land, a city, and the devils have to exchange blood for occupying an inch of land. ”

Regiment Liu was overjoyed, as long as he didn't ask for the guilt, he was also promoted to major general and brigade commander. Maybe the commander-in-chief thinks about the overall situation and knows that our department has done its best. One stood up and said: "Thank you for the cultivation and support of the commander-in-chief, this is what you should do." I must do my best to defend Pingding County, please rest assured, I will immediately hurry up the construction of fortifications and prepare to fight the devil to the bottom. ”

"Well, it's good to have such determination, you have to be prepared these days, the devil may make a comeback at any time, today the remnants of the Yamada brigade have been withdrawn, and the corpses alone have pulled several carts, you don't have to be humble anymore! My Brigade Commander Liu made good preparations, gave the reporters a detailed briefing on the situation of the battle, and sent the letter of appointment together, and I immediately held a press conference. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Regiment Commander Liu called the guards, notified the officers above the company commander to come over for a meeting, told the news, and asked the intelligence department to find out the devils and secretly find out the situation of helping the troops, Taiyuan reporters will come in the afternoon, and hold a press conference in the evening, and say in a unified voice that this battle was fought by our regiment, anyway, it was arranged by the headquarters, strengthen propaganda, and the great credit should not be in vain, no matter who the mysterious team that helped us is? Ay! Don't think about it, it's just friendly forces, it's nerve-wracking to think too much......

Qiangzi led four team members to the place of last night's battle, the devil withdrew without a trace, only a few cars that were bombed were still leaning on the side of the road, because the devil walked in a hurry, a lot of things were not picked up, Qiangzi They collected the residual guns and broken knives and ammunition on the ground, skillfully removed the fuel tank, batteries and other items that could be used on the car, the captain said that these are good things, and they got back a lot.

Da Zhuang they bought back the tools, all the team members started to renovate the hole, the entrance of the cave was camouflaged, it was difficult to find outside, the cave became clean, there were torches on the wall, the light was bright, and the light on the waterfall was very bright.
