"Horn ...... Dadada......"

The exchange of fire between the harassing troops and the Japanese puppet army was getting closer and closer, and from time to time several mortar shells exploded.

With their current attack speed, as long as there are no accidents, they will be able to kill outside Lingqiu City in more than half an hour.

The regimental headquarters was ready to retreat.

All kinds of confidential documents, radio equipment, and all that can be packed and taken away are packaged, and those that cannot be packed are buried on the spot.

As long as the regiment commander gives an order, the regimental headquarters can rush out of Lingqiu City in ten minutes at most.

"Regiment commander, chief of staff urgent!" Zhou Liang was operating the only unpackaged radio station in the headquarters when he suddenly shouted.

After a few minutes, he put down his headphones and handed the translated telegram to Li Hao while reporting: "The Japanese puppet army does not plan to attack Lingqiu City, they are three kilometers outside the city and make a false shot, directly bypassing the county seat and killing the mountain southeast of us. ”

"Arsenal!" Li Hao twisted his brows and thought for a few seconds before making a judgment.

"In the mountains to the southeast, only the arsenal is qualified to let the devils send heavy troops to attack."

Wang Hong hesitated for a moment and added: "There are also field hospitals." ”

"There are still more than 400 wounded soldiers there, there is only half a company of the escort force, and the rest are all medical personnel, if they are discovered by the devils, they have no chance to transfer."

"Our sweet potato flour mills, pig farms, and chicken farms, which are scattered in the mountains, have to be relocated."

"They don't have an escort force, and once they are discovered by the devils, they will definitely be devastated."

Zhou Liang continued to report: "The judgment of the chief of staff is also an arsenal. ”

"The troops have just captured two puppet soldiers who have fallen behind, although they are both ordinary soldiers, but I heard their commander mention the arsenal several times during the march."

The exact location of the arsenal in the mountains was clear only to a few people at the regimental headquarters.

Marking the current position and direction of the Japanese puppet army on the map, Li Hao was even more sure of the judgment that the Japanese army was going to attack the arsenal.

First drew a line on the map with a pencil, and then analyzed Wang Hong: "Political commissar, combined with the telegram of the chief of staff, I am now ninety percent sure that the target of this Japanese puppet army is the arsenal. ”

"It must be that we collected too much material some time ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, for more than a month, we have sent out more than 3,000 rifles, more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, more than 20 mortars, and even more ammunition, including rifle machine gun bullets, grenades and grenades, heavy machine gun bullets, and valuable artillery shells. A third of them are new equipment and ammunition produced by the arsenal, and two-thirds are reassembled from scrap weapon parts and bullet casings. ”

"The surrounding Eighth Route Army suddenly has so much more equipment and ammunition, and dozens of truckloads of raw materials are sent to our base area through various channels every day, such a big movement will definitely attract the attention of the devils."

"If the devils don't want to destroy the arsenal, we can rely on this arsenal to redress all the Eighth Route Army of more than a dozen regiments around us."

"At that time, the devils will face not only one garrison regiment, but ten, or even twenty main regiments whose equipment level is not weaker than ours."

Wang Hong was persuaded, and looked at Li Hao and replied in agreement: "That's true." ”

"Last month, the arsenal received more than 6,000 damaged rifles and more than 200 broken light and heavy machine guns from the surrounding Eighth Route Army, and through dismantling and reloading, a total of 3,500 rifles and more than 120 light machine guns were produced."

"Because the arsenal receives fewer and fewer damaged weapons, the output of dismantling and reloading will definitely be less and less, but the production capacity of producing new guns will definitely increase, and a thousand guns will definitely be produced every month."

"It adds up to 12,000 guns a year, not counting the production capacity of dismantling and reloading broken guns."

"The impact of so many weapons to supplement the garrison regiment and the surrounding Eighth Route Army can definitely be described as terrifying, as long as the Japanese commander is not stupid, he will definitely do everything possible to prevent this from happening."

"And destroying the arsenal is the only way to solve this problem at its roots."

"In order to achieve this goal, in the case of insufficient troops, the Japanese puppet army can only sacrifice the killer weapon of poison gas bombs."

Li Hao pointed to a line he had just marked on the map and ordered: "This is a route that the Japanese puppet army must pass through to assault our arsenal."

"There are a total of three checkpoints in the middle, and only by breaking through them can the Japanese puppet army have a chance to attack the arsenal."

Wang Hong thought for a moment and said: "I know these three levels, one man is not open, it is very dangerous, it is precisely because of their existence that we chose the arsenal there." ”

"In order to protect the safety of the arsenal, we have arranged a garrison company at each checkpoint, and we have also strengthened a heavy machine gun squad with two heavy machine guns."

"Under normal circumstances, the three garrison companies are guarding according to the danger, and the devil doesn't want to kill an infantry brigade after killing them."

"But not now, the devil has gas bombs, and the three garrison companies are not equipped with gas masks."

"A few poison gas bombs smashed over, and the devils don't have to attack, and the three garrison companies will lose their combat effectiveness."

Li Hao looked at Wang Hong and comforted: "Political commissar, rest assured, now we already know that the devil has poison gas bombs." ”

"Surely we will not let the three garrison companies go to their deaths."

"Order the Eighth Company to put on gas masks and set off now, march in a hurry to the front of the Japanese puppet army, and take over the garrison company on the first checkpoint to occupy there."

"Before the Japanese puppet army used poison gas bombs, they held the checkpoint at all costs."

"After the Japanese puppet army used poison gas bombs, they immediately abandoned their positions and retreated to the second checkpoint."

"Ninth Company, Air Defense Battalion, take all the remaining gas masks from the regimental headquarters, and go with me to the second checkpoint, where I will gather and annihilate all the Japanese puppet troops."

"Immediately send a telegram to the heavy artillery battalion, move all to the vicinity of Taojiagou tonight, set up an artillery position, and then send observers to the second checkpoint to stand by."

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Japanese puppet army that entered the mountain reached the first checkpoint.

The co-captain was particularly excited.

Since the garrison regiment was heavily damaged with poison gas bombs two days ago, the entire offensive road has not encountered a large-scale Eighth Route Army except for sporadic sneak attacks.

The same is true after entering the mountain.

All the Japanese troops, including the wing commander, thought that the garrison was frightened.

In order to avoid poison gas attacks, it was not dared to concentrate the troops together.

As a result, all the Japanese troops thought that the next assault would be very smooth and victory was just around the corner.

Seeing the captain of the wing looking at the checkpoint not far away with a smile on his face, as if he had trampled it under his feet, the chief of staff of the wing did not let go of this opportunity to pat himself on the back, and hurriedly ran over with the map to compliment.

"Sir, the intelligence shows that the garrison regiment arsenal is hidden deep in the mountains ahead."

"I advise the troops to attack immediately and quickly break through the mountain passes ahead. As long as we make a surprise along the mountain road below, we will surely find the arsenal before dark. ”

A captain next to him immediately asked for battle: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army in the front checkpoint must have been scared away by our poison gas bombs, and you can take it down by sending an infantry squad to kill it." ”

The captain is also confident about the next attack.

Decisive order: "I'll give you ten minutes to take the first level." ”

"Hey!" The captain replied confidently.
