At eight o'clock in the evening, the reconnaissance platoon sent a squad leader back to report on the situation.

"Regiment commander, during the day today, the Japanese army has transferred an infantry brigade from the surrounding county towns and is advancing towards Laishui."

"The other troops are all drawn from the front line, at least 50 kilometers away from Laishui, and it will take a day and a night to get over."

This is definitely the best news I've received since last night.

The regiment commander stared at the map and said happily: "The devil's march will take one day and one night, and when we reach the destination, we need to rest for a day and recuperate enough to attack, which is equivalent to two days for us to prepare." ”

"Political commissar, you go and inform the logistics department that the main force must have enough food for the past two days, and we must eat one captured canned meat every day, and we must also keep our spirits up. Wait for the devils to come and deal with them. ”

After speaking, the regiment commander looked at the reconnaissance squad leader and ordered: "Go back overnight and tell your platoon commander that I have kept an eye on these Japanese puppet troops." ”

"Before the attack, find out all the troops and equipment of the Japanese puppet army, and the more detailed the better."

As soon as the reconnaissance squad leader left on the front foot, the communications squad leader rushed in on the back foot, followed by a person.

The regiment commander recognized him at a glance, he was the commander's guard squad leader, and immediately asked: "Squad leader Zhang, why are you here, does the chief have an order for us?" ”

The guard squad leader gave a military salute and replied with a serious expression: "Commander Zhou, I was ordered to come over and announce an order." ”

"The garrison regiment occupying Yi County will come over tonight to reinforce the independent regiment and fight against the Japanese puppet army that is about to counterattack Laishui. After the study and decision of the higher authorities: After the garrison regiment is in place, it will form a joint command center with the independent regiment to jointly direct the troops to conduct operations. ”

"Comrade Li Hao, head of the garrison regiment, is the commander-in-chief, and you are the deputy commander, head Zhou."

"Among them, Comrade Li Hao has the power to make a decisive decision in battle!"

"Great......" Head Zhou was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Looking at the guard squad leader, he replied: "You go back and tell the commander that the independent regiment guarantees to obey orders and obey the command of Commander Li." ”

"Commander Li is notoriously powerful in fighting devils, and I am convinced to be able to fight devils with him and listen to his command."

The guard squad leader didn't expect Captain Zhou to agree so neatly and neatly, without any reluctant expression.

The reason why the commander sent him over was that he was worried that Commander Zhou would not be convinced.

After all, both of them are regimental leaders, and in terms of age, Captain Zhou is taller than Li Hao.

For this purpose, the commander wrote a letter specifically.

If Head Zhou has any dissatisfaction, send him the letter directly.

After reading the order, the guard squad leader was ready to take the letter.

Unexpectedly, Head Zhou's reaction was diametrically opposite to his expectations, not only was he not dissatisfied, but he was also very happy.

There's a reason for that.

From the moment he witnessed the cavalry battalion's raid on Binqi's brigade, Commander Zhou was full of interest in the garrison regiment.

As long as there is an opportunity, he will learn some information about the garrison from Zhou Wu's mouth.

The more I understood, the more shocked I became, and I also had a heartfelt admiration for Li Hao, the head of the garrison regiment.

Soldiers are heroes.

In the eyes of Commander Zhou, Li Hao is his hero.

I can't ask for a battle with such a hero.

And he also learned from Zhou Wu's mouth: Li Hao rarely fights uncertain battles.

If you don't make a move, it will be a victory and a big battle.

After the two forces join forces, the independent regiment will not only not suffer losses, but will also take advantage of it.

has military exploits and can reap benefits, such a good thing, of course the regiment commander will not refuse.

Li Hao came faster than they expected.

With a cavalry company, he hurried to the road and arrived at Laishui County at three o'clock in the morning.

"Hello Commander!"

Zhou Wu stood in front of Li Hao, excited and embarrassed.

Although the cavalry battalion won many battles in Laishui, it also suffered heavy casualties, and such results were definitely unqualified in the eyes of the regiment commander.

Hurriedly asked for punishment: "Because of the mistake of command, the cavalry battalion lost more than a hundred soldiers, and I request punishment." ”

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "I have read all your battle reports, not only is there no mistake, but also meritorious." ”

"Because of your timely attack, you successfully took out the Binqi team."

"As for the sacrificed soldiers, I will definitely avenge them if I come here this time, and the losses of the cavalry battalion will also make up for the devils."

"Intelligence shows that the devils who attacked Laishui this time have a cavalry brigade that has come to deal with you."

"Eat this cavalry brigade, and the losses of the cavalry battalion will be made up, and there will be more."

"Tell me which one is the head of the Independent Regiment Zhou......"

The regiment commander is a good talker, and he said that if he can eat the devil cavalry brigade, then he will definitely be able to.

Zhou Wu's serious face immediately smiled, and he hurriedly introduced: "Regiment commander, this is the head of the Independent Regiment Zhou, who was born in the old Red Army and has a lot of combat experience. ”

"This is Political Commissar Li, and this is Chief of Staff Huang."

"Commander Zhou, this is our Commander Li, and behind us is Chief of Staff Hong."

After getting to know each other, Commander Zhou led the way, and all of them entered the headquarters of the independent regiment, which is also the joint command that will be established.

Li Hao was the first to speak: "Commander Zhou, since my superiors appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the joint command, I won't talk nonsense. From now on, the joint command was officially formed. ”

"Let me first talk about the situation of the garrison regiment: in addition to the cavalry battalion that is already fighting with the independent regiment, I also brought three main companies, two fire companies, and one cavalry company, a total of more than 800 people."

"A total of six heavy machine guns, six mortars, four mountain guns, and 30 flying thunder guns are equipped."

"In addition, I brought 1,500 mortar shells, 200,000 rifle machine gun bullets, 20,000 heavy machine gun bullets, grenades, and 6,000 grenades to the Independence Regiment."

"The troops and ammunition are on their way behind and will be here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Commander Zhou, you first tell me about the current situation of the independent regiment, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles."

Head Zhou was so happy.

With the ammunition brought by Li Hao, plus the ammunition captured in several battles, the independent regiment does not need to worry about ammunition for at least half a year.

As for the shells, a year will definitely be enough if you save a little money.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he replied: "The independent regiment also has nearly 600 combat troops, and there is also a heavy machine gun company, equipped with 11 heavy machine guns, and an artillery company, equipped with 16 mortars and four infantry guns. ”

"The reason why we have such good equipment is also thanks to the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment."

"Most of the heavy machine guns and mortars were captured by our combined cavalry battalion in battle, except for supplementing combat losses, the battalion commander did not ask for other heavy weapons, all of them were given to our independent regiment."

Li Hao replied calmly: "It's just a few mortars, nothing." ”

"The devils of Laishui in this counteroffensive brought a mountain artillery brigade, and if they want to divide it, they will divide the mountain artillery."

"Strive for the end of the battle, and the separate regiment and the garrison regiment each capture the equipment of a mountain artillery company."
