Lao Chen, it will be very conspicuous and inconvenient for so many of us to break through the target together.

I mean, you take the troops directly under the regiment, including children's companies, wounded soldiers, and non-combatants, to break through, and I will give you the 2nd Battalion, and you will go to Xinzhuang along Guxian, Hedong, and Persimmon Gou.

When I'm done with the matter, I'll go to Xinzhuang to meet you.

Remember, be careful with the troops of the 197th Brigade, I suspect that they may also have defected, and if they do, they must be ready for battle! ”

The brigade commander of the 197 Brigade is Zhao Shiling, a safe old officer, a loyal officer of the Jin Sui Army, and the other party in history took advantage of this incident to become the division commander and army commander later.

The headquarters of the 197 Brigade and the subordinate Ninth Regiment were stationed in Anze.

Xinzhuang belongs to the jurisdiction of Anze.

Moreover, if Lehi wanted to take the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death to Qinyuan to join the First Column of Decisive Death, he had to pass through the defense area of the 197th Brigade and the 27th Army.

"Lao Li, what about you? Aren't we going to join up with the political department of the column? Chen Shiping asked.

"In this situation, we can't stand still, and then the enemy will surround us. At present, we cannot contact the political department of the column, so we can only break through on our own, and in our situation, it is most secure to get closer to the decisive column. ”

Anyway, Lehi said that it was impossible to break through to the east, and he didn't believe that the 40th Army would let them go.

"Okay, I'll take the logistics troops first!" Chen Shiping thought about it and agreed.

That night, Chen Shiping set out north with the 2nd Independent Battalion, the Children's Company, and other non-combatants.

From Hudi to Xinzhuang, it is about 100 miles, and it can be reached in two days without accident.

"Director, what do we do now?" Mao Hong asked.

Now there are still 4 battalions left in Hudi, plus a cavalry company, an artillery company, and a guard company, with a total strength of more than 1,300 people.

"What to do? Recuperate, go to the trouble of the Jin Sui army, and rescue the comrades of the column headquarters by the way. Lehi said coldly.

He can deal with this little man, as long as the enemy army does not exceed one regiment.

Chen Shiping took away all the non-combatants here, and Li Hai didn't have to worry about the cumbersome problem, and he could completely let go of his hands and feet.

Since the Kuomintang army surrounded the mountainous area in the south of Taiyue, he had to learn from Nezha and make a big fuss in the East China Sea to see if the Kuomintang army could do anything to him.

Early the next morning, Lehi took the more than 1,000 men with him and went to the mountains to the west.

He was going to Zhengzhuang, because the column headquarters was there, and the news he got from the prisoners was that the political workers who had been captured by the column headquarters were temporarily locked up here.

Moreover, Sun Chu is still there.

According to the prisoner's confession, Sun Chu only had a guard regiment of four or five hundred people around him.

This is the commander of a group army of the Jin Sui Army, if he arrests the other party, will the Jin Sui Army exchange things?

Since you have already torn your face, you should take advantage of this time to do a good job, and it doesn't matter if it makes a big fuss.

However, Li Hai did not go from Duan's side, but entered directly in Dongshan Ridge, and took a shortcut from the mountain to Zhengzhuang.

On the afternoon of the day they left, the political department of the column led by Dong Tianzhi arrived at Hudi, but did not encounter Li Hai's troops and the team led by Chen Shiping.

Seeing the empty headquarters of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death, Dong Tianzhi was a little surprised.

"What's going on? Could it be that something happened to the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death? ”

"It is very likely that Sun Ruikun, the commander of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death, is also an old officer, and now that the Jin Sui Army has made a big move, something may have happened to the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death." Someone next to him speculated.

Soon someone came to report that it was someone from the column headquarters who had found the local guerrillas.

Although Lehi withdrew with the main force, the guerrillas and some of the wounded did not withdraw, but remained in these villages and towns and continued to fight guerrillas.

"Director Dong, I know the traces of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death. Sun Ruikun also designed to arrest our cadres in the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death, but was crushed by Comrade Li Hai, director of the Political Department of the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death, and Sun Ruikun ran away! ”

"Sun Ruikun ran away? What about the Eight Regiments of the Dead? What's going on today? Dong Tianzhi asked.

"I have already retreated, saying that I have broken through to the north, and I plan to join the Decisive Death Column!"

"Rendezvous with a column of death? Isn't this nonsense? The order given by the column was to move closer to Gaoping and Lingchuan and join the 344th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, how did he break through to the north?

Can't the radio station reach him yet? Dong Tianzhi was a little angry.

"I still can't get in touch, I don't know what the current situation is with the radio station of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death."

"Send someone to find it and convey to them the orders of the column!" Dong Tianzhi commanded.

"Director Dong, what about our Political Department? Stay and wait? ”

"Don't wait, continue to break through to the east, and strive to join the 11th Guerrilla Regiment!"

。。。。。。

Li Hai didn't know that Dong Tianzhi was angry, because his radio station had a problem before, and he couldn't use it for the time being.

Even if he knew, he didn't plan to break through to the east, that would only increase his losses in vain.

And in Duanshi, Shi Zuoheng, who was defeated by the Eighth Regiment of Duandu in Hudi and was almost surrounded and annihilated, withdrew here with the rest of the troops.

At the same time, Sun Chu, the commander, is also there.

"Brigadier Shi, what's going on? You personally led a regiment and failed to defeat this Death Eight Regiment? ”

Seeing that Shi Zuoheng was also defeated and retreated, Sun Chu was a little incomprehensible.

Sun Ruikun was defeated, but Shi Zuoheng was different.

Although he only led one regiment, the 8th Brigade of the Du Du can be regarded as a capable unit in today's Jin Sui Army, how could it be defeated by a regiment of the decisive death column.

"Chief Sun, he was a humble enemy, and he was killed by eight regiments and made dumplings. Fortunately, they broke through before the encirclement of the Eighth Regiment was fully formed, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

This Lehi, although he had never met the other party, his military command ability was not bad, and he was a difficult opponent. Shi Zuoheng explained.

"I don't want to hear an explanation, I just want to ask, can your troops destroy this Death Eighth Regiment?" Sun Chu said impatiently.

"Yes, when the other regiment of the humble post arrives, we can destroy this army with the strength of two regiments!" Shi Zuoheng replied.

In his opinion, he had only underestimated the enemy before, resulting in the loss of more than 300 people and a lot of weapons and ammunition, but his strength was still there.

The strength of his two regiments combined was nearly 3,000 people, and he didn't believe that he could defeat one regiment of the Eighth Regiment to the death.

"I hope Brigade Commander Shi will not disappoint Commander Ben.

The commander will take those prisoners back to the headquarters, and you and Zhao Shiling, the commander of the 197th Brigade, will be responsible for the battle here.

When the time comes, you will be 4 regiments to encircle and suppress one and 8 regiments to the death, hoping to bring good results! ”

Now that the column headquarters of the Third Column has been captured by him, the Seventh Regiment and the Ninth Regiment have been reversed, leaving only the Political Department of the First Column, the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death, the 10th Guerrilla Regiment, the 11th Guerrilla Regiment, and the 32nd Regiment.

However, the 10th Guerrilla Regiment was at the junction of Anze and Tunliu, and the 11th Guerrilla Regiment was in Gaoping.

Only this Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death is still near his jurisdiction, and he must clean up the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death first.
