The communications staff officer lowered his head and did not speak!

That's what the telegram he received said, and as for the specific reason, probably only the Eighth Route Army itself knows!

The chief of staff is a little more sane!

Seeing that the communications staff officer didn't seem to have finished speaking, he immediately asked, "What else did the telegram say?"

"The encirclement troops immediately reconnoitred the surroundings and tried to find the retreat route of the Eighth Route Army, but they found nothing! The Eighth Route Army, which ambushed Kimura Nakasa, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air! ”

The commander did not come to his senses until this time, and immediately ordered: "Find it, if you can't find it, you have to find it for me!"

"Hundreds of troops, and with so many weapons and ammunition, how could they disappear out of thin air!"

"Even if the other party is a cunning rabbit, walking through the forest will leave some traces!"

"Tell the captains of several brigades on the front that if they can't find a garrison regiment, they won't come back!"

After speaking, the army commander shifted his gaze to the sand table in front of him, staring at the mountains west of Lingqiu, thinking about the possible escape direction of the garrison regiment!

The chief of staff analyzed very seriously: "Sir, I speculate that those Eighth Route Army troops are likely to circle around the mountains and find a way to get rid of our pursuing troops, and then turn around and go south and return to their base area!"

"Our sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu was terminated before it was over, because Lingqiu was occupied, and finally led to all the remaining anti-Japanese forces in Lingqiu burrowing into the mountains south of Lingqiu, and the possibility of completely destroying them is almost zero!"

"If the garrison breakthrough troops return to the base area at this time, they will join these anti-Japanese forces! The strength of the garrison will definitely expand again, and it will be even more difficult for the imperial army to destroy them! ”

"Yo Xi!" The commander of the army agrees with this analysis!

A pair of eyes quickly shot out two rays of light and asked, "Plus the follow-up reinforcements that are about to arrive in Lingqiu, how many more people do we have in Lingqiu!"

"Five infantry brigades, three of which have already entered the mountains!" The chief of staff replied like a few treasures!

"Command!"

The commander quickly made a decision: "The three brigades that entered the mountain continue to search for the traces of the garrison regiment and try to eliminate them in this mountain!"

"The two brigades that will be reinforced in the future will be deployed on the line where the garrison regiment is returning to their base area when the garrison regiment goes out of the mountain!"

"At the same time, each of the two brigades will transfer a mixed reinforcement squadron to re-enter the base of the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu, and weaken the anti-Japanese forces there as much as possible!"

"We want to go hand in hand with the two roads and completely disintegrate the anti-Japanese forces in Lingqiu!"

"Even if the garrison breakthrough troops have a chance to get rid of our pursuing troops, break through our blockade line, and return to the base area, there is no strength for them to develop and grow again!"

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy chief of staff rushed to the deputy commander-in-chief and excitedly reported: "Boss, good news!"

"The garrison has successfully broken through and entered the mountains! Convergence and response troops, Li Hao's troops have more than 500 people, and he also killed a devil on the way to break through, successfully killed the pursuers all the way, and got rid of other devil pursuers! ”

"Next, the garrison will start radio silence, move to Datong to recover its strength, and then wait for the opportunity to return to Lingqiu!"

"Good eye!" The boss's eyes lit up and he sighed!

"Li Hao chose a good place, Datong little devils are seriously short of troops after absorbing the two brigades, Li Hao will definitely be able to pick up a lot of cheap ones if he kills them now!"

"I'm not mistaken, Li Hao must have taken a fancy to the coal mine in Datong!"

"There are absenteeism in the coal mine, and they are all captured anti-Japanese soldiers, and replenishing them to the troops can make the garrison regiment quickly recover its strength!"

"And Datong and Lingqiu base are in different directions, break through there and fight, the little devil can't think of killing him, and it has played a surprise role invisibly, this choice is good!"

"Chief of Staff, you immediately send a telegram to the Jinchaji Military Region, and ask their first division to send troops to move, put on a posture of killing into Lingqiu to meet the garrison regiment, and confuse the little devils!"

"The entire anti-sweeping garrison regiment has paid the most, and now that the anti-sweeping has been successfully completed, it is our turn to help the garrison regiment!"

"Also, let them contact the remaining troops of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment to help them recover their strength as soon as possible!"

Taiyuan Japanese Army Military Headquarters, intelligence staff officers hurriedly walked in and reported!

"Sir, there is a situation in Lingqiu!"

"The troops of the First Division of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army with two regiments are moving towards Lingqiu!"

"They are attacking fiercely, and the Imperial Army has already occupied three strongholds! We judged that these Eighth Route Army must have gone to Lingqiu for the garrison regiment! ”

The army commander walked to the sand table, and the positions of the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army had been marked on it!

At a glance, you can see that these two regiments are indeed killing towards Lingqiu!

The army commander's initial judgment was that the garrison regiment would return to Lingqiu, but now these two regiments suddenly appeared, further affirming their judgment!

With a calm face, he ordered: "We must not let the garrison regiment hiding in the mountains and the receiving troops of the Eighth Route Army converge, otherwise the face of the Great Japanese Empire will be completely lost!"

"Chief of Staff, haven't the troops in the mountains found any trace of the garrison?"

The chief of staff shook his head and replied helplessly: "Not yet!"

"The garrison seems to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace!"

"Also, this mountain is so big that the garrison group has only a few hundred people, and hiding in it is like a fish in the sea! Although we have three brigades, the troops do not dare to disperse too much to search for fear of a counterattack by the garrison! So for two days, their search area was very small for the whole mountain! ”

"Trying to find the garrison regiment in the mountains with three brigades is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, it is very difficult!"

"Yaga!" The commander couldn't hold back and scolded!

Then make a decisive decision: "Since you can't find it, don't look for it!"

"Instead of going around in circles in the mountains, it's better to wait outside the mountains for rabbits!"

"Order: The three brigades will immediately go out of the mountain to meet the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army to kill Lingqiu!"

"The two brigades that have been deployed outside the mountain will continue to block all the passages of the garrison back to their base area!"

In the mountains more than 20 kilometers north of Datong City, after two days of day and night, the garrison regiment finally arrived here!

Seeing the tired troops, Li Hao's first thought was to restore the physical strength and morale of the troops!

"Xiao Yuan, I'm not mistaken, the last time we raided the coal mine and retreated, there was a lot of food hidden on the road, you immediately bring someone to get some back, let the soldiers eat two hot meals, and recover their strength!"

"After that, lead the reconnaissance company to find out all the Japanese puppet forces and coal mines within 30 kilometers around!"

"Whether our garrison regiment can make a splash here and recover its strength in a short period of time depends on your reconnaissance and fighting in the next few days!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Li Hao himself didn't expect that the grain he inadvertently left behind at the beginning could now play such a big role!

After two steaming meals, the tiredness on the faces of the soldiers was suddenly swept away, and their morale began to slowly recover!

At this time, what the garrison needs most is a battle, and it is a victory!

Anxiously waiting, Xiao Yuan is back!

"Commander, it's all clear!"

"The main force of the Japanese army in Datong is divided into three, one brigade guards Datong, one wing confronts the base area in the northwest of Jin, and one wing confronts the Jin Sui army south of Datong!"

"There is a brigade of scattered troops outside the city, all of which are stationed on major transportation routes and important towns, and there is basically no mobile force to mobilize!"

"Originally, Datong had two mobile units, but they went to Lingqiu, and they have been killed by us!"

"After we make a move, unless the little devils directly transfer troops from the front line, they will not be able to draw troops to threaten us at all!"

This result was expected by Li Hao's decision to switch to Da at the same time, but after Xiao Yuan confirmed it, he was still excited in his heart.

immediately asked: "This is simply a chance for the rise of our garrison regiment given by God, immediately tell me all the large and small coal mines controlled by the little devils around, the more detailed the better!" If it is possible, the problem of soldiers will be solved in one battle! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Xiao Yuan took out a hand-drawn sketch and introduced!

"This is where we are now, there is a coal mine ten kilometers to the west, but the scale is not large, and there are only more than 400 people absenteeism, and there is a guard team formed by the little devils in the mine to protect it, with a total strength of nearly two squads, and it is also equipped with heavy machine guns!"

"There is a medium-sized coal mine fifteen kilometers northwest, and there are more than 900 absentees in it!"

"It is close to the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, and the little devils in the mine have formed a whole reinforced squadron of guards, equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, and have also built several turrets and bunkers with stones around the mine, and the heavy machine guns are mounted in it, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

"The Eighth Route Army once had the idea of fighting this coal mine, but because there was no heavy weapon, it returned in vain!"

"Also, it is close to the devil's defense line that confronts the base area in the northwest of Jin, and the devil can dispatch a brigade from the front line to the coal mine in three hours at most!"

"Beyond Datong, there is a large coal mine thirty-five kilometers southwest of us, with more than 1,500 absentees and more than 500 escorts, which are well-equipped!"

"There are two small coal mines to the east of us, one is absent from more than 500 people, the other is absent from more than 600 people, and there are more than 100 guards!"

Li Hao twisted his brows and quickly made a decision: "Let's hit these four coal mines!"

"Concentrate your forces to attack this medium-sized coal mine first, and then divide your troops to take down three small coal mines with lightning speed!"

"Fight quickly and hide in the depths of the mountains before the devil reinforcements arrive!"

"The Japanese army in Datong is insufficient, even if they transfer troops from the front line, it is impossible for these troops to be transferred for too long, otherwise there will be chaos on the front line!"

"So as long as we hide in the mountains for the first few days, the little devils who have found nothing will retreat on their own!"

"When we finish digesting the results of the battle in the mountains and replenish the troops, we can return to the base area and use a powerful offensive to catch the devils by surprise!"

Under the cover of night, the two mountain guns were pushed 300 meters outside the mine before stopping!

Two of the most powerful gunners of the artillery battalion personally operated the artillery!

The barrel of the black hole was raised little by little, aiming at the three-story turret in the middle of the mine!

"Cannonballs!"

The two gunners whispered!

"Bumper!"

A slight metal crash sounded, and the two shells had been pushed into the breech, ready for shelling!

"Fire!"

Yuan Qingfeng half-squatted beside him, his eyes lit up and he ordered!

"Boom!"

Pull the cannon rope and the dull sound of shelling rings in your ears!

Orange-red flames, thick and pungent white smoke, erupted from the muzzle of the cannon together!

Before everyone could react, two flames were blown out of the outer wall of the turret!

The bricks and stones flew sideways, and two large holes appeared directly on the running floor! ()
