Xiao Yuan finally rushed to the front enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment.

Although he was very tired, Li Hao didn't have time to let him rest.

The Jin Suijun wanted Datong too much, and after receiving a telegram from the Eighth Route Army that they wanted to negotiate, they sent people to Datong.

At the same time, the troops of the three divisions began to assemble on the edge of Datong, and if the negotiations failed, they would directly expel the Eighth Route Army by force and occupy Datong militarily.

Li Hao had just received a telegram from Chief of Staff Zhou asking him to go to Datong for negotiations.

After Chief of Staff Zhou's arguments, the negotiation time was set in four days, which meant that he had to rush to Datong within four days, and he had to accumulate enough negotiation capital during this time.

Otherwise, if you go to the negotiation table, you won't be able to take any advantage, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty.

looked at the tired Xiao Yuan, and said with an embarrassed face: "Xiao Yuan, the task is urgent, I don't have time for you to rest here!" ”

"Some time ago, the commando team did a good job in Yi County."

"Relying on the strength of a few dozen of you alone, you can control most of Yi County, and you have also developed a force of more than 1,000 people, so that everyone in the regiment is impressed by you."

"Now that the situation in Yi County has stabilized, Deputy Regiment Commander Luo can completely control it, and it would be a bit overkill for the commandos to stay there."

"Good steel is used on the blade, and I have decided to assign a new mission to the commando."

"From now on, the reconnaissance company, independent company, and special service company directly under the regiment, plus your assault team, will be temporarily organized into a secret team, with you as the captain, and Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, as the deputy captain, and set off in an hour, and rush here on a hurried march to wait for call."

If Xiao Yuan is not mistaken, the regiment commander pointed to the defense line of the Jin Sui Army on the border of Datong.

Now most of the Japanese puppet army in Datong has been wiped out, and although the more than 1,000 Japanese puppet army that confronted the Jin Sui army has not been killed, a large number of Jin Sui troops are stationed there.

As long as the Jin Sui army takes the initiative to attack, it will definitely be a matter of minutes to eliminate that little bit of Japanese puppet army, and it will not be his turn to intervene at all.

So the regiment commander let himself lurk in the past, definitely not to deal with the Japanese puppet army there.

Since the opponent is not a devil, then only the Jin Sui Army remains.

The Jin Sui army is a friendly army, and the regiment commander let him deal with them, isn't he worried that he will be labeled as destroying the united front and causing a commotion.

The more Xiao Yuan thought about it, the more solemn his expression became.

Li Hao knew that he saw some clues, and he didn't hide it, and explained straightforwardly: "Datong City was taken by our Eighth Route Army, and it should have belonged to our Eighth Route Army." ”

"But the Jin Suijun also took a fancy to Datong, as our nominal allies and superiors, they gave orders to the headquarters very inauthentically, saying that Datong is not our defense area, and asked us to withdraw from Datong and let them take over the defense."

"I definitely don't agree, but the military order must not be violated, otherwise a hat for disobeying the military order in the war zone will be buckled, and our losses will be even greater."

"In order to protect our own interests and recover our losses as much as possible, the superiors decided to negotiate with the Jin Suijun."

"And I was appointed deputy negotiator."

"In order to have the initiative at the negotiation table, force Jin Suijun to give us some benefits. I need you to lead the troops to make some small moves next to the Jin Sui army's garrison to put pressure on the Jin Sui army and increase our bargaining chips. ”

Xiao Yuan understood, and nodded thoughtfully.

Li Hao continued: "I asked the political commissar to prepare a set of Japanese military uniforms and a set of puppet army uniforms for each of you. ”

"After arriving at the lurking point, all the troops pretended to be Japanese soldiers and puppet troops."

"What is the specific task, when I get to the hiding point, I will send you a telegram according to the progress of the negotiations."

"Before that, you only need to do one thing: "Find out the real situation of the Jin Sui army on the defense line, the more detailed the better, and then send your reconnaissance results to Datong." ”

In the sky above Huaiyuan, the roar of the plane of "Weng Huzzing ......" has not been interrupted since dawn.

One after another, the planes painted with plaster flags cruised over the heads of the Japanese puppet army, taking cover.

The Japanese brigade commander had mixed feelings.

The arrival of the escort plane as scheduled would have been a good thing, but he could not be happy.

Because the speed of the march of the troops did not change because of their arrival, they still advanced slowly like snails, and they also had to withstand the ubiquitous blows of the Eighth Route Army.

The only thing that has changed is the way the Eighth Route Army attacks itself.

Before dawn, they attacked themselves in a company and platoon, and even relied on favorable terrain to block themselves head-on, and the troops paid a huge price to advance a certain distance.

After dawn, the planes came, and the Eighth Route Army did not dare to gather too many troops under the noses of the planes, so the attack method was changed to sneak attack itself in squads and platoons, and the casualties were much smaller.

But in less than half an hour, the good mood was blown away by a few explosions.

While the Eighth Route Army changed its offensive mode, it actually used mines to increase its own offensive mode.

The ubiquitous landmines annoyed the captain.

What is even more hateful is that the casualties caused by landmines are almost all broken legs and feet, and once the soldiers are bombed, they can only be carried on stretchers, unable to march on their own.

This means that if there is a wounded man with a broken leg in the troops, the troops must arrange at least two intact soldiers to carry him on the march, which not only causes the troops to lose three soldiers in an instant, but also greatly affects the speed of the troops' marching.

The Eighth Route Army also seemed to see the great impact of the wounded on the retreat of the troops.

In addition to landmine bombings, the incessant sneak attacks have also begun to create wounded and never killed in the troops.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, mines and sneak attacks had already brought more than two hundred wounded to the troops, who were unable to march.

Including the soldiers carrying stretchers, a total of more than 700 people could not fight.

After deducting the subordinates who were killed on the march last night, leaving behind the more than 300 subordinates behind the palace, there are less than 400 combat troops left in their hands.

The speed of the march was also reduced to two-thirds of what it would normally be due to the presence of more than 200 stretchers.

Coupled with the impact of landmines and sneak attacks, the speed is even slower, and it will definitely not be able to kill no man's land before dark.

"Captain, it's too slow to walk like this!" The adjutant caught up with the captain and reminded him in a hurry.

Killing in a no-man's land before dark is a military order issued by the captain to the military department, and if it is not completed, not only the captain will be punished, but all officers of the entire brigade will be affected.

"I know!" The captain replied with a calm face.

After glancing at his watch, he said: "Only by doubling the speed of the march can we cover more than 30 kilometers in the remaining five hours and reach no man's land." ”

"But there were so many wounded in the ranks that it was impossible for the soldiers to walk seven kilometers per hour and march for five hours straight."

"There's a way!" The adjutant thought for a moment and replied.

"There is a saying in China that you lose your car and keep your handsome. We can't let more than 200 wounded affect the speed of the march and cause the no-man's land to be occupied by the Eighth Route Army, otherwise all of us will become sinners of the Empire. ”
