"The battalion commander, the instructor, the military sub-district sent an emergency telegram, it was to forward the order given to us by the military district!" Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang rushed into the command headquarters and reported excitedly.

"Just look at your face and know it's good news!" Li Hao said while receiving the telegram.

After reading the telegram, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Instructor, the military region has also sent charcoal in the snow, and directly draws 1,500 white pieces of the ocean from this month's division to support our post-war reconstruction!" ”

"My opinion is the same as just now, after the ocean arrives, it will be replaced with grain immediately!"

"If there is no accident, three thousand oceans can buy at least 150,000 catties of grain!"

"Hoard them all, and you can save many people's lives at a critical moment!"

Wang Hong did not object this time, and immediately replied: "I will carry out the order, and as soon as the anti-sweep is over, I will take it all out to buy grain!" ”

Not long after, Zhou Liang came again, his face even more excited than just now.

"The battalion commander, the instructor, or the military division's telegram, this time it is to forward the order given to us by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!"

Li Hao was the first to react: "It must be supporting us!" ”

"The Japanese puppet army is menacing, and the headquarters must know about it, and they are worried that the sweet potato flour factory will be affected by the sweep of the Japanese puppet army!"

"Send me the telegram and see what the headquarters is going to do to reinforce us?"

After reading the telegram, Li Hao was shocked at that time, and it took a long time to react.

"Instructor, the headquarters promised us to fight this battle and expand the independent battalion into an independent regiment, you will be the political commissar, and I will be the regiment commander!"

"Hiss ......"

Wang Hong was also frightened, and gasped and shouted.

"Is that really what HQ says? Directly expanding the independent battalion into an independent regiment, this speed is too fast! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it's only been half a year since we expanded into an independent battalion, and we're going to expand it again, won't this speed be too fast!"

"Purely in terms of military merits, this speed is indeed a little faster!" Li Hao was noncommittal to answer.

"But don't forget, we have set up a sweet potato flour factory, and the establishment of pig farms and chicken farms has not yet been said by the superiors!"

"Nearly 10,000 oceans of profits are handed over every month, and there will be more in the future, and it is possible to break through 20,000 oceans!"

"This kind of credit is no less than killing hundreds or thousands of little devils!"

"As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, and the superiors definitely don't want to leak this financial source and cause others to prying eyes, so we can only be commended secretly or for other reasons. And the current anti-sweep happened to be targeted by the head of the headquarters, and then there was a promise to expand the independent battalion into an independent regiment! ”

"It must be so!" Wang Hong also showed a look of sudden realization on his face.

followed the interface: "I really didn't expect that I would become a regiment-level cadre so soon!" ”

Li Hao was very calm at this time, shook his head and replied: "Let's not be too happy!" ”

"The telegram made it very clear that only if we win this anti-sweep can we be qualified to expand into a regiment, and if we lose the battle, not only will we not be qualified to expand, but we will also be punished!"

"Plus, there's one more thing we want to be aware of!"

"The casualties and losses of military and civilians in the entire anti-sweeping base area must be kept to a minimum."

"The foundation of the base area is too thin, if the losses are too great, even if we win, with the hat of an independent regiment on our heads, we will not have the strength to expand the troops, and the strength of the independent regiment is not as good as the independent battalion before the expansion!"

Wang Hong's face quickly returned to seriousness: "Battalion commander, you're right, don't rejoice in the airspace!" ”

"We still do what we discussed before, you are in charge of the front line, I am in charge of the rear, each performing his own duties, and winning this anti-sweep!"

The reconnaissance platoon and commando team were stationed outside Lingqiu City, and as soon as it was dawn, a scout rushed over in a hurry.

"Platoon leader, Captain Xiao, the devil is out of the city!"

"The east gate was opened as soon as it was dawn, and thousands of puppet troops had already come out, and there were little devil armored vehicles on the road, and I hadn't finished walking when I came."

Chen Wei and Xiao Yuan subconsciously looked at each other, and they both saw the heat and excitement in each other's eyes.

They had been waiting outside Lingqiu City for almost ten days, and they had finally waited for this moment.

"Platoon Commander Chen, let's go over and investigate first, and then report to the battalion headquarters after confirmation!"

The two of them crossed the hill and took in the east gate of Lingqiu City.

At least 1,500 days the puppet army had already left the city, with three armored vehicles at the head, cavalry and infantry following closely behind, directly on the road to form a kilometer-long dragon.

There were also Japanese puppet troops coming out of the city gate, escorting the ammunition supplies needed for this operation in the middle of the team, and a full thirty carts were loaded before and after.

Then there was the mountain artillery squadron.

The six mountain cannons were all dragged by mules and horses, and they looked particularly powerful from a distance......

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan and Chen Wei's eyes flashed with greed at the same time, eager to take the ammunition supplies and mountain artillery carried by the Japanese army as their own now.

"There are at least 2,000 Japanese puppet troops who have come out, and I can confirm that there are two infantry squadrons, a cavalry squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, a mortar squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, and an armored vehicle detachment, and the rest are all puppet troops!" Xiao Yuan frowned and judged.

Chen Wei said: "There are also Japanese puppet troops constantly pouring out!" ”

"According to the intelligence, Lingqiu City can dispatch up to three thousand five hundred people to deal with us, and looking at this posture, it seems that they intend to concentrate their forces to open a breakthrough from the independent company!"

"Quite possibly!" Xiao Yuan nodded and replied!

"Let's take a look again, and then send a telegram to the battalion commander after confirming that our judgment is true!"

After waiting for less than ten minutes, the Japanese puppet army left the city.

The wide-open city gate was quickly closed, and the Japanese puppet army guarding the city wall quickly imposed martial law, with a posture of not opening the city gate until the battle ended!

At this time, Xiao Yuan's brows furrowed.

"No, the Japanese puppet army that came out of the east gate is only 2,500 people! There are a thousand men short of the forces they can dispatch, and there must be a conspiracy in this! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the scouts who were staring at the north gate rushed over.

"Platoon commander, Captain Xiao, there are also Japanese puppet troops killed at the north gate, with a total strength of nearly three hundred people, a reinforced squad of devils, a reinforced company of the puppet army, two heavy machine guns, and two mortars!"

Xiao Yuan's brows furrowed even deeper, he couldn't understand what the devil's purpose was in doing this?

The 300-day puppet army, the strength is just more than a main company of the independent battalion, the firepower is comparable, and the north gate happens to be a company defense area, does the devil want to rely on these 300 people to break through a company of defense lines?

I haven't understood it yet,

Scouts staring at the other two gates brought the same news.

"Captain Xiao, I suggest reporting directly to the battalion commander, since we can't figure it out, let's let the battalion commander think about it, the battalion commander is better than us, and the overall situation is better than us!"

"Okay, report to the battalion commander and wait for the order!" Captain Xiao shook his head and replied.
