Chapter 1318: It's Not a Good Thing (Second Update!) )
The commander of the army could not have imagined that the reason why the chief of staff did not send a farewell telegram at the end was completely an accident.
In the eyes of the chief of staff, it was originally an artillery battle that must be won, but it turned into a defeat by the Eighth Route Army.
The tide of battle changed too quickly to have time to make any preparations, let alone send a telegram.
As soon as I was ready to transfer and leave the artillery position, the shells fell down, and it rained.
Before several radio operators could move the radio out, the headquarters was hit by several shells, and the radio and the radio operator were all blown up.
After a few more minutes, the chief of staff himself was killed indiscriminately by the reconnaissance troops blocking the entrance to the artillery position.
The army commander did not know about the accident, and thought that the battlefield was just a radio station that was blown up, and the county town and the chief of staff were still fine.
Seeing that the army commander was so confident, the deputy chief of staff hurriedly asked: "Army commander, then what should we do next?" ”
"The telegram ordered all reinforcements to continue to pick up speed." The commander didn't think much about it, and ordered decisively.
"After dawn, the aviation immediately sent planes to reinforce the battlefield and cover the chief of staff to hold the county seat."
When Li Hao entered the city, the big battle had already ended, and only the sporadic gunshots generated by the destruction of the remnants of the enemy remained.
As soon as he entered the city, the commando captain Xiao Yuan greeted him: "Report to the regiment commander, commando, and reconnaissance company successfully completed the task, and request to return to the team!" ”
"You guys played even better than I expected." Li Hao praised without hesitation.
Then he looked at Xiao Yuan and asked, "Tell me about your results and see how many good things we can harvest here." ”
Xiao Yuan hurriedly replied: "Commander, there are too many good things. ”
"We found a total of one arsenal, one material warehouse, and two grain depots. He occupied the Japanese garrison headquarters, the gendarmerie station, the imperial alliance army station, the Japanese army station, the police station, and rescued more than 50 of his own people in the gendarmerie and police station, all of whom were underground party and guerrilla cadres arrested by the Japanese puppet army before. ”
"The warehouse is full of weapons, ammunition and supplies, and the quantity is very large, and I haven't had time to count them yet."
"In addition, the chief of staff of the devil was also killed by our indiscriminate shooting, and when we occupied the artillery position, we also captured two mountain guns and two mortars."
Li Hao's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly ordered: "One, two, two battalions will immediately take over these warehouses from the commando team and reconnaissance company, and then arrange heavy troops to guard them." ”
"There are still a lot of devil remnants in the city, don't win the battle, they bite back, and you can't draw it if you blow up one or two warehouses."
"Chief of Staff, you immediately contact the political commissar and superiors, I want to know the situation of the reinforcements of the surrounding Japanese puppet army."
"Under normal circumstances, knowing that after the county seat is taken by us, they will definitely slow down the speed of reinforcements, wait for all the reinforcements to be in place, gather together, and then kill them, recapture the county seat, and defeat us."
"One more thing, immediately notify the guerrillas and local troops to enter the city, and hand over the party members and cadres we have rescued to them for screening."
"Then inform their person in charge to report to the command that I have an important task for them."
The Japanese garrison headquarters became the temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army after being simply cleaned up.
After commanding the troops to destroy the remnants of the enemy, Commander Zhou also rushed here to converge.
As soon as I came in, I saw Hong Linfeng walking over solemnly with a telegram.
"Regiment commander, telegram from above!"
"The Japanese puppet army reinforcing the county town has not stopped, it seems that they have not received the news that the county town has been captured by us, and they are marching towards here as quickly as before, and there is no change."
"Recently, the reinforcements are only more than 20 kilometers away from us, and the strength is about two infantry squadrons."
"The farthest is a reinforced brigade and a cavalry brigade, from Zhangjiakou, more than 70 kilometers away from us, and a rapid march can be killed in thirteen hours."
Li Hao didn't speak, looked at the head of Zhou who had just come in and asked, "Head Zhou, help me analyze it!" ”
"Are these reinforcements really not receiving the news that the county town is occupied by us?"
"Eighty percent of the way!" Head Zhou thought for a moment and replied.
"If I were the commander of the Japanese army, knowing that the county town had been occupied, I would definitely order the reinforcements to stop for a while and gather more reinforcements before counterattacking us."
"If the county town is lost, the siege troops can concentrate their forces to send reinforcements, this is the least common sense, and it is impossible for the devil not to know."
"If the reinforcements are too weak and rush to the battlefield, it will be a sheep's mouth."
Xiao Yuan next to him suddenly spoke: "Regiment leader, I also think that the devil reinforcements have not received the news that the county town has been captured!" ”
"Huh?" Li Hao knew that Xiao Yuan would not say such a thing for no reason, and there must be some reason in the middle that he didn't know.
Immediately asked, "Tell me your reasons." ”
"That's what I thought!" Xiao Yuan replied.
"An hour after the siege began, the assault team and the reconnaissance company ate most of the patrols in the city through interception and sneak attacks, and then split up two forces to sneak attack the headquarters, which is where we are now."
"After less than five minutes of fighting, the chief of staff of the devil broke through from here with a radio station and transferred to the artillery position to continue directing the operation."
At this time, they happened to encounter an artillery battle between the two armies.
"The devil's command is next to the artillery position, and when the shelling is over, we occupy the artillery position, and the artillery headquarters has been blown into ruins, and the radio operator, radio station, are all blown up."
"The whole artillery battle lasted only two minutes from start to finish, which meant that the radio station was blown up in two minutes."
"That's not enough time for them to send telegrams."
"After the radio station was blown up, although the four walls were still in the hands of the Japanese puppet army, they did not have a radio station, and the telephone line was cut again, so they definitely couldn't contact the outside, and the devils outside didn't know the situation here."
Li Hao had already believed seven or eight points at this time, his eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and then he slapped the table and said: "If they really don't know the situation here, it is not a good thing for us to continue to march rapidly to reinforce the county seat, maybe this is a big fighter." ”
"Commander Li, these reinforcements must be fat meat sent to our mouths, and they must be eaten." Head Zhou was also excited.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and after a few seconds, I was eager to try to fight.
"Commander Li, there are two squadrons of devils on the road closest to us, leave them to our independent regiment!"
"Hurry up for ten kilometers, set up an ambush on the path that the devils must pass, and swallow them in one bite."
Li Hao didn't refuse, looked at Captain Zhou and asked, "How many people are there in the independent regiment?" How's the morale? ”
Commander Zhou thought that Li Hao had agreed, so he hurriedly replied: "With the losses in the ambush last night, the situation of the three battalions is about the same, and there are about 300 people in two companies." Heavy machine gun companies, mortar batteries also suffered a third casualties. ”
"There are more than 1,100 people in the whole regiment."
Li Hao was silent for a moment and asked, "Almost seven hundred people have been lost!" ”
"Commander Zhou, you have to think about it, continue to fight, if you don't do it, the independent regiment will be wiped out."
Head Zhou replied without hesitation: "If you shine, you will shine." ”
"This is fat in my mouth, and if I miss it, God won't forgive me."
"Commander Li gives the order! There is no need to take into account the casualties of the Separate Regiment. ”
Li Hao showed a smile on his face, and then replied: "Since Head Zhou is willing to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, then we will play a big game with the devil here." ”
Pointing to the reinforcements on the map that were favored by Commander Zhou, he began to give orders.
"These devils will give you the independent regiment, but the independent regiment can only draw a main battalion, a mortar platoon, and a heavy machine gun platoon to ambush them."
