The headquarters of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, because it was less than five kilometers away from the front line, Wang Hong moved the regimental headquarters here after receiving the information that the Japanese army was going to attack, and arrived close to command the troops to fight.

Liu Senyun, the commander of the first battalion, and Chen Hao, the commander of the second battalion, all stood in front of Wang Hong with a serious face and reported something.

The first to speak was Chen Hao, the commander of the second battalion, and the second battalion took over from the Laiyuan Independent Battalion to defend here, and no one knew the real situation of the Japanese puppet army on the other side better than him.

"Political commissar, the Japanese puppet army assembled opposite us is almost 2,000 people."

"The assembly area is brightly lit, it should be distributing ammunition, and we also found a lot of artillery, including mountain artillery and mortars."

"I think the regiment commander's judgment is right, as soon as the morning dawns, this Japanese puppet army will attack us."

Wang Hong is under a lot of pressure.

The first and second battalions looked strong and strong, with a total strength of more than 1,500 people, but they were all virtual, and there were only two companies and 300 people who could really go to the battlefield.

The Japanese army has a seven-fold superiority in strength, as well as artillery and aircraft support, and if it is carried head-on, it only takes 300 people to fight at a time and be killed by the devils.

You can't carry it hard.

The Japanese puppet army will definitely break through all the way and fight into the base area.

The villagers have just finished spring ploughing, and if the land that has just been sown is wasted, it will be too late to replant.

During the autumn harvest, these lands will definitely not be harvested, which will not only reduce the grain output of the base areas, but also the villagers who have not harvested will have to eat relief grain, which will become a burden on the base areas, and eventually lead to a new round of grain shortages in the base areas in the next year......

The more Wang Hong thought about it, the more solemn his expression became, and in the end he could only pin his hopes on the chief of staff who was still on the road.

Of course, as the current head of the base area, he still understands the truth that he must not hang himself from a tree.

In addition to waiting for reinforcements, he also had to prepare for both hands, just in case.

If the chief of staff fails to return in time, he must rely on the strength at hand to drag down the Japanese puppet army and prevent them from destroying the base area.

looked at the first battalion commander and asked, "Battalion Commander Liu, you are in charge of the defense side, how are you preparing now?" ”

Liu Senyun hurriedly replied: "The two main battalions and the nearby local troops, the guerrillas, and the villagers have all been mobilized. ”

"In addition to continuing to strengthen the three lines of defense we already have, I have dug five more trenches in the back, preparing to build five more lines of defense."

"The line of defense is separated by five hundred meters, and it should be repaired before dawn!"

"There are eight lines of defense in total, and if each line can hold off the enemy for an hour, we can drag on here for a day."

Wang Hong's face did not look good.

A blocking position for an hour, this is only theoretical data.

In fact, the troops simply could not hold that long.

The positions were all civil fortifications that had been repaired temporarily, and they could not withstand the blows of airplanes and artillery, and there were few troops available in their hands, so it was difficult to defend the two blocking positions, and more than 300 troops were wiped out.

Without troops, no matter how many blocking positions there are in front of the Japanese puppet army, it is also a decoration......

"Troops! The forces we can participate in the war are still too small to hold so many defensive lines! Wang Hong said after being silent for a long time.

Liu Senyun and Chen Hao both lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer.

This is the price of the Sky City plan, the enemy is at present, he has no troops to use, but he must bluff in front of the enemy and find a way to stop them from attacking.

Liu Senyun thought for half a minute and then reported: "Political commissar, the local troops that can be reinforced nearby have all come, a total of 16 guerrilla units and three local garrison companies, all of which add up to nearly 500 people. ”

"Although their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the main force, they are certainly better than the recruits who have just touched the gun."

"I really can't let them go."

"One veteran of the main force with two guerrillas or fighters of local units to defend the position."

Two hundred men are to be held in one blocking position, and we must hold it for an hour before retreating, so that we can hold at least four blocking positions.

Liu Senyun made it clear that he would use these troops to the death.

But apart from this method, he couldn't think of any other way to block the attack of the Japanese puppet army.

Although it is very painful, for the sake of the overall situation, what should be sacrificed must be sacrificed.

The solemn expression on Wang Hong's face was slowly replaced by firmness, and it seemed that a decision had been made.

Just as he was about to give an order, the guard at the door suddenly broke in and reported with an excited face: "Political commissar, the chief of staff is back!" ”

In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army, the convoy stopped ten kilometers away.

Hong Linfeng led the troops on a rapid march all the way, and it took an hour and a half to complete this section.

"Political commissar, Battalion Commander Liu, Battalion Commander Chen, are all in a hurry!" Before Wang Hong could react from the shock, the tired voice of the chief of staff had already sounded at the door.

Then I saw Hong Linfeng striding in.

"Hello Chief of Staff!" Liu Senyun and Chen Hao hurriedly saluted, the nervous and worried expressions on their faces disappeared instantly, and then they looked at Hong Linfeng, revealing an expression of anticipation that wanted to speak and stopped.

"Chief of Staff, you're back! If I don't come back, I won't be able to sing this empty city plan! Wang Hongchang exclaimed with relief.

Then he stared at Hong Linfeng and asked the question that Liu Senyun and Chen Hao wanted to ask but didn't ask.

"How many troops have you brought back, and what do you need me to do?"

"The Japanese puppet army has gathered almost 2,000 people, ready to attack, and will definitely attack after dawn, we must prepare in advance."

Hong Linfeng looked at the three people and replied confidently: "Nine hundred people, all of them are soldiers of the Datong Independent Battalion, the battalion commander Huang Sheng came back with me, I arrived first, he led the troops in the back, and he will definitely be able to get here in half an hour." ”

"In order to bring more people, all the troops who came back were lightly armed, and they didn't bring heavy weapons and ammunition, and these two problems need to be solved by the political commissar."

Wang Hong immediately replied: "Ammunition is not a problem!" ”

"When I came to the front, I brought all the ammunition from the arsenal's stockpile, and it would definitely be enough to last a day or two."

"Heavy weapons are not a problem either: they are directly drawn from one or two battalions, and they want artillery for artillery, light and heavy machine guns for light and heavy machine guns, and ammunition can also be transferred from them."

Liu Senyun and Chen Hao hurriedly said: "Political commissar, chief of staff, the first and second battalions not only have equipment and ammunition, but also people. ”

"No matter who it is, as long as the chief of staff likes it, it can be transferred."

Hong Linfeng immediately ordered: "Then I'm welcome!" ”

"Except for the two companies composed of veterans, the mortars, mountain artillery, heavy machine guns, grenadiers, light machine guns, and supporting ammunition of the other units were all handed over."

"Battalion Commander Liu and Battalion Commander Chen will go back to the troops to transfer equipment now, and if these troops have artillerymen and machine gunners who can go to the battlefield, they will also be transferred to me, and they will be returned to you after the battle."

"The rest of the troops formed temporary stretcher teams and were responsible for transporting the wounded to the rear."

"As soon as the troops of the Datong Independent Battalion arrived, they were replenished with heavy equipment, then rested, and entered the position before dawn."
