"Sir, according to our deduction, the battle ended an hour ago, but there is no news yet, is there something wrong on the battlefield!" The chief of staff couldn't help it again, and walked up to the army commander to ask for instructions.

"I suggest sending them a telegram right away to ask about the situation."

The commander couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered with a hint of bad premonition: "Send a telegram now......"

Ten minutes later, the chief of staff ran back with a solemn face: "Sir, we can't contact them!" ”

"No matter how you call by radio, there is no response from the front-line command."

The bad premonition in the commander's mind grew stronger and stronger, and he stared at the sand table and ordered: "The radio continues to call them." ”

"Order the intelligence department to contact our intelligence officers lurking in Datong to find out if the main force of the garrison regiment that captured Datong is still there."

"Contact the troops that swept up the Laishui Independent Regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment, and confirm that the Laishui Independent Regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment are still in their base areas."

"Then find a way to contact the imperial army strongholds around the battlefield, and let them send people to the battlefield to reconnoiter and find out the battle situation."

The atmosphere in the military headquarters suddenly became tense.

Some staff officers began to make phone calls, and some staff officers rushed out of the war room to give orders, and all the radio stations in the telecommunications room were turned on and the orders just given by the army commander were sent to the executive troops......

After arranging everything, the chief of staff returned to the army commander and asked very carefully: "Sir, do you suspect that something has happened to the attacking troops?" ”

The army commander did not deny it: "We have gathered more than 5,000 people on the front line and equipped several radio stations, and it is impossible to lose contact with them all for no reason." ”

"So something must have happened to them, most likely the command was attacked and the radio station was destroyed."

"It is impossible for the local troops and guerrillas of the garrison regiment to have such a big appetite, and the only ones who can threaten the safety of the attacking troops are the main force of the garrison regiment and the nearby Laishui Independent Regiment and Huaiyuan Independent Regiment."

"So I have to guard against it, I have to prepare for the worst......"

The gunfire at the Laiyuan Independent Battalion on the main battlefield has completely stopped.

More than 200 remnants of the Japanese puppet army rushed out of the garrison and fled to the northeast of the battlefield.

The cavalry battalion is chasing them in platoons, and even if they can't be completely annihilated, there are some fish that slip through the net, and that won't affect the situation of the battle.

Zhao Wen dragged an injured arm to find Li Hao, and reported with a serious face: "Regiment Commander, the Laiyuan Independent Battalion has successfully completed its mission and requests to return to the team!" ”

"Is the injury serious?" Li Hao looked at his bandaged arm and asked with a worried expression.

"I was bitten by a stray bullet, it was a penetrating wound, and I could fully recover in a month at most." Zhao Wen replied with a look of indifference.

"Don't be careless!" Li Hao shook his head and reminded.

Then he ordered: "Go to the field hospital to redress the wound now, the doctor will do what he tells him to do, and let Liu Wenxuan come to the next report." ”

Zhao Wen didn't want to leave, he wanted to struggle, but before the words could be spoken, Li Hao made him swallow back with a look.

can only answer: "Don't worry, regiment commander, I will go to the field hospital now, and strive to recover and return to the team as soon as possible." ”

Then he looked at Liu Wenxuan and confessed: "Old Liu, the troops will be handed over to you during my absence, first find a way to make up for the shortage of troops, and then train ......"

After Zhao Wen reluctantly left, Liu Wenxuan reported with heartache: "The regiment commander, the chief of staff, and the Laiyuan Independent Battalion have a total of 1,158 people participating in the battle, and there are 143 people after the battle, including six seriously wounded, 49 lightly wounded, and only 85 people are intact." ”

"There are still three company-level cadres left, five deputy company-level cadres left, 43 squad and platoon leaders, and all other cadres have died."

Li Hao was taken aback, choked up for a while, and looked at Liu Wenxuan and couldn't say a word.

The casualties of the independent battalion were too great, and it is conceivable that if the artillery fire of the main force of the regiment had arrived a few minutes late, Liu Wenxuan would definitely not have had a chance to stand in front of him.

It took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Comrades are all good." ”

"We can eliminate so many Japanese puppet troops tonight, and the Laiyuan Independent Battalion is a well-deserved first achievement."

"Chief of Staff, immediately organize the guerrillas to send the Laiyuan Independent Battalion to the rear to rest and recuperate, find out all the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, and bury them well, they are all heroes of the garrison regiment."

"Comrade Liu Wenxuan, before Zhao Wen returns to the team, you will temporarily take the position of battalion commander."

"When you get to the rear, immediately rebuild the shelves of the independent battalion."

"The sacrificial cadres above the deputy company level can be promoted internally, and if there is really no one, ask the political commissar for it."

"I will send a telegram to the political commissar, and the veterans and cadres who have recovered from the field hospital will give priority to replenishing you."

"The sacrificed ordinary soldiers are not in a hurry to replenish first, and when our next battle is over, I promise you five hundred well-trained veterans."

Liu Wenxuan left with anticipation.

Hong Linfeng was not idle, and immediately ordered his subordinates to spread a map in front of Li Hao that marked all the strongholds in the no-man's land.

"Commander, this is a piece of data that I just compiled based on the latest intelligence."

"There are 53 large and small strongholds in the no-man's land in front of us."

"Although the mobile unit inside has been emptied, there is still a reinforced squadron of devils and at least two companies of puppet troops left in the large stronghold."

"There are two squads of devils and a company of puppet soldiers left in the medium-sized stronghold."

"The small stronghold left a detachment of devils and two platoons of puppet troops."

"They relied on the favorable terrain and fortifications of their strongholds to close their doors, and if they wanted to take them, they could only attack."

Li Hao asked while looking at the map: "The heavy machine guns and mortars captured on the battlefield have been counted!" ”

"After replenishing the losses of the main forces, there are 21 heavy machine guns, 24 mortars, six mountain guns, and four infantry guns." Hong Linfeng blurted out.

These heavy weapons are a sign of whether the troops can have the ability to attack fortifications, and Hong Linfeng began to count them as soon as the battle was over.

Li Hao's eyes were still on the map, but his mind had already begun to work rapidly, distributing these heavy weapons through the enemy's situation.

It soon came to the fore: "The extra heavy machine guns and mortars were all equipped with the ten mixed battalions that had been improvised before dark, and the heavy machine guns were not enough to make up for light machine guns, and the mortars were not enough to use grenadiers, so as to ensure that each mixed battalion had the firepower of one artillery platoon and one heavy machine gun platoon." ”

"Mountain artillery, infantry artillery, all to the Datong Independent Battalion, Guangling Independent Battalion, Hunyuan Independent Battalion."

"Together with their own mountain artillery, each infantry company is guaranteed to have a siege artillery."

"Half an hour later, the whole regiment took the company as a unit and divided its troops to attack the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army in the no-man's land."

"Each main force has a mixed battalion, and after the attack begins, the main force company takes the lead, responsible for tearing holes in the enemy's stronghold, and then withdraws from the battle and continues to rush to the next stronghold."

"The mixed battalion is responsible for taking over the battlefield, leaving two mixed companies and a certain number of heavy weapons in the large and medium-sized strongholds to deal with the remnants of the enemy and completely occupy the strongholds."

"Other units continue to follow the main forces and attack the next stronghold."

"It's half past nine in the evening, the troops set off at ten o'clock, there are still eight hours to fight before dawn, and if it goes well, each main company can make a surprise attack of 30 kilometers into no man's land and capture at least two strongholds."

"After dawn, the troops were divided into troops and lurked in the no-man's land to rest and be on standby."

"If there is no main force of the Japanese puppet army to reinforce the no-man's land tomorrow night, everyone will continue to attack and advance to the inside of the no-man's land and take the entire no-man's land."

"If there is a Japanese puppet army to reinforce the no-man's land, I will give you a new order."
