Chapter 574: Chongqing's Commendation (First Update!) )

Eighth Route Army Headquarters!

The telegram to Chongqing has been sent for almost an hour, and it is as if it has sunk into the sea, and there is no response!

Just when the two chiefs couldn't wait, the communications staff finally appeared!

"Chief, Chongqing Emergency Electricity!"

"Give me the telegram!" The boss ordered in a hurry!

I took the telegram and began to browse it, the content was not long, and it only took half a minute to read it!

Then he handed the telegram to the deputy chief of staff next to him, and he wrinkled his brows and fell into deep thought!

The deputy chief of staff reacted very directly, and after reading the telegram, he complained dissatisfied: "Boss, Chongqing is too unfair, if it is any unit of the Central Army that has achieved such great achievements, I am sure that the one in Chongqing will at least give him a company promotion of three levels and step into the position of major general and brigade commander!" ”

"Our requirements are not excessive, as long as the establishment of a main force regiment is given the position of lieutenant colonel commander to Comrade Li Hao!"

"They didn't even meet this demand, it was too much, so he treated the anti-Japanese soldiers, how could they serve the public!"

The deputy commander-in-chief has a very short temper, and if he had encountered such unfair treatment in ordinary times, he would have scolded his mother a long time ago!

But not today, and surprisingly calm!

looked at his old partner and replied: "Don't be angry, it's not a day or two since Chongqing wants to control the establishment of our Eighth Route Army, so I have thought of such a result a long time ago, there is nothing to be angry about!" ”

The deputy chief of the general staff exclaimed unwillingly: "Such a great achievement, maybe our Eighth Route Army can only encounter this time in a few years, and the result is to change to the establishment of a garrison regiment, which is also too much of a loss!" ”

"Also, the garrison regiment is not the main regiment!"

"Equipment, food, and salaries all have to be raised by themselves, which is equivalent to Chongqing's commendation order, which only needs to move their mouths, and they don't need to pay anything!"

"Also, I think that the establishment of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment that Chongqing gave us is definitely not as simple as it seems, and the intentions inside are sinister!"

"The garrison regiment has the responsibility of defending the territory, and it cannot leave the defense area unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Our clear code telegram has been sent, and the Japanese will definitely send heavy troops to besiege Lingqiu now, either rescue the commander of the Major General Brigade from the hands of the Independent Regiment, or destroy the corpses, kill the Independent Regiment and our captured Major General Brigade Commander, and give them an explanation!"

"No matter how the Japanese choose, the reorganized garrison regiment will be attacked by the Japanese army frantically until it is wiped out!"

"After the independent regiment is reorganized into a garrison regiment, they who have the responsibility of defending the land can't leave Lingqiu casually!"

"Lingqiu is so big, even if they successfully break through and leave the county, as long as they are still in Lingqiu, they will definitely be found by the little devils!"

"This is to make it clear that the adapted Lingqiu garrison group will guard Lingqiu, and in the end it will be completely wiped out by the devils!"

"Where is this reward, it's simply a murderous knife, borrowing the hands of little devils to kill the independent regiment!"

The boss shook his head and analyzed: "No, I think the garrison is very good!" ”

"Although the main regiment can leave the garrison to fight everywhere, the establishment is fixed, and it is more eye-catching, and there is no concealment at all! But the garrison regiment is different, because it is self-financed, and the establishment is not controlled! As long as there is food, equipment, and soldiers, I can't manage ten garrison battalions with a garrison regiment! ”

"As for the responsibility of defending the territory, you can't leave the station, this is easy to solve!"

"The county towns around Lingqiu have fallen, it is the area occupied by the little devils, my garrison regiment sent troops to recover the lost territory from the hands of the little devils, I think who dares to say that the garrison regiment violates discipline!"

"Moreover, the garrison regiment is under the command of our Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army still has the right to transfer them out of the station!"

The deputy chief of staff replied thoughtfully: "Then we will accept this telegram of commendation!" ”

"Accept, by the way, send a telegram to the independent regiment, from now on, the independent regiment of the first division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will be officially changed to the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment, raising its own military salary, and the establishment is not limited!"

"At the same time, tell Comrade Li Hao that the headquarters agrees with his battle plan, and uses the Lingqiu garrison regiment as a bait to disrupt the Japanese army's sweeping plan and reduce the pressure on the military and civilians in the base area!"

"However, the garrison regiment must choose the opportunity to break through at a critical moment, I don't want the Lingqiu garrison regiment to be completely wiped out by the Japanese puppet army just after it was established!"

On the battlefield of Zhouzhuang, the defeat battle has ended!

The gunfire that had been going on for nearly two hours was completely silent!

The battlefield is full of soldiers of the Independent Regiment who are carrying torches to clean the battlefield!

Zhou Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, Huang Sheng, the commander of the third battalion, and Yuan Qingfeng, the commander of the artillery battalion, the expressions on the faces of the three people were very complicated, with excitement and heartache!

Especially Zhou Wu, the complicated mood is particularly obvious!

After the battle, more than half of the cavalry battalion suffered casualties, and the cavalry battalion of more than 380 people before the war can still move less than 190 people!

The only thing that made him happy was that the war horse did not suffer much loss!

After the sacrifice of his own soldiers, there were almost one hundred and fifty horses captured on the battlefield, and in time, the cavalry battalion would definitely be able to recover its vitality!

However, the results of the cavalry battalion were also very large, more than a thousand little devils, they were more than half of the circle, and nearly seven hundred devils died under their sabers!

What's more, because of their fast assault speed, the Devil Mountain Artillery Squadron, Infantry Artillery Squad, and Heavy Machine Gun Squadron were killed before they had time to destroy the equipment!

Four mountain guns, two infantry guns, nine heavy machine guns, and a large amount of ammunition that was too late to destroy were all the results of the cavalry battalion!

Yuan Qingfeng, the commander of the artillery battalion, had a smile on his face, and his heart was already happy!

Not surprisingly, the four mountain guns and two infantry guns that have just been captured on the battlefield will all replenish their own artillery battalions!

With these artillery, the total number of artillery pieces in the artillery battalion has reached fourteen, and it is no longer an empty shelf unit, but truly a fully equipped artillery battalion!

"Regiment commander, after statistics and calculations, we killed nearly 1,300 Japanese puppet troops in the whole battle, and the little devils only ran away with less than 200 people, all of whom hid in the nearby mountains!" The third battalion commander Huang Sheng reported!

The blocking battle plus the final attack, the third battalion killed more than 400 devils, with these results, Huang Sheng is more confident in speaking!

Killing more than 1,300 puppet troops in two hours can definitely be called a big victory!

But Li Hao didn't show any smile on his face!

Because these Japanese puppet armies are not worth mentioning at all to the main force of the Japanese puppet army that is besieging them!

The pressure on the independent regiment is still very high, and an accident may be explained here!

After taking a deep breath, he ordered: "Although the results of the battle are great, we can't rejoice too early, the great enemy is now, and the real battle has not yet begun!" ”

"After dawn, the real battle begins!"

"Now I order, the third battalion will bring all the captured light and heavy machine guns and grenades to return to Lingqiu immediately to report to the chief of staff, and assist the chief of staff in defending Lingqiu City!"

"Tell the chief of staff that at the critical moment, I agree with him to abandon the city fortifications, rely on the buildings in the city and the Japanese puppet army entering the city to fight street battles, and hold out until dark at all costs!"

"The commandos will go out of the city immediately to meet me!"

"The artillery battalion takes over all the captured mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and artillery shells, and I personally command it, and I am on call outside the city with the cavalry battalion of the guard company!"

After saying all the orders in one breath, Zhou Liang, the commander of the communications platoon, happened to rush over, his face was full of excitement!

"Commander, good news!"

"The military sub-division forwards the commendation telegram of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!"

"No, the commendation telegram given to us by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was also forwarded to Chongqing!"

"Chongqing knows all the exploits of the commander of the brigade of the captured devil major general, and he sent us a telegram of commendation!"
