The troops are about to fight Datong.

This battle is different from the usual counter-sweeps, and many of them are tough battles.

The casualties were large, the results were small, and the duration was long.

Without sufficient reserve troops to replenish the troops at all times and ensure the combat effectiveness of the main force, it is absolutely impossible for the garrison regiment to take Datong.

The political commissar and the chief of staff also made a point, and Li Hao made a decision after pondering in his heart: "Political commissar, chief of staff, then recruit another 1,500 troops." ”

"The number of recruit companies and regimental recruit battalions formed by each battalion has been doubled."

"After the recruitment of new recruits, if there are still people who want to sign up for the Eighth Route Army, as long as the conditions are suitable, all of them will be sent to guerrillas and local units in various places."

Hong Linfeng immediately replied: "I'll give the order now!" ”

Seeing the chief of staff running out in a hurry, Li Hao smiled, looked at Wang Hong and asked, "Political commissar, I want to know how the base area is recovering?" Has the ongoing spring ploughing been affected by this counter-sweep? ”

"The drought has been going on for almost two years, and this year's drought has eased significantly, and there will definitely be a harvest in the fields."

"Whether the millions of soldiers and civilians in the base areas have food to eat next year depends on the next few days."

Wang Hong replied with confidence: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment. ”

"The villagers have already started spring ploughing, and more than 700,000 refugees have also reclaimed more than 2 million mu of land before the anti-sweep, more than three mu per capita, and all of them can grow grain."

"As long as nothing happens and the autumn harvest is over, these refugees will be able to become self-sufficient."

"Not to mention the original folks in the base area."

"As long as there is no longer a drought like last year, we can not only achieve self-sufficiency and leave a part of the surplus grain for storage, but also pay the public grain to ensure the food needs of all troops and cadres in the base areas for at least one year."

"I am sure that after the autumn harvest, the problem of food shortage in the base areas will be solved."

Li Hao replied with satisfaction: "Great! ”

"Food has always been a key factor that plagues the development and growth of our Eighth Route Army."

"As long as this problem is solved, the garrison will definitely be able to do a lot of things in the future!"

Wang Hong was just about to answer and continue, when a rush of footsteps suddenly came in, and then he saw Zhou Liang striding in, his expression serious and solemn.

"Commander, something happened!" Zhou Liang handed the telegram to Li Hao to report.

"Battalion Commander Zhang of the Guangling Independent Battalion reported: A batch of materials just sent to the base area by the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment was looted by the Japanese puppet army, all the materials were destroyed, and the escort troops of the entire two platoons were wiped out."

Li Hao's face was full of disbelief, and after taking the telegram very carefully, he was still full of suspicion after reading it carefully, and analyzed it while handing the telegram to Wang Hong.

"Are the Japanese crazy!"

"They lost their troops in the counter-sweep, and the troops left in the no-man's land were also beaten by us and shrunk into a large stronghold and did not dare to come out, how dare they send troops into the base area to ambush the transport team, are they not afraid of being killed by us?"

"And He Jun, what does he eat?"

"The little devil got into his stomach to attack the transport team, and he, the battalion commander, didn't even notice it."

"Platoon Commander Zhou, call He Jun back now."

"We must completely annihilate all the little devils who entered our base area within one day, and I will use their corpses to avenge the sacrificed comrades."

"I'm going to send a telegram right now." Zhou Liang hurriedly left the headquarters.

Because of this bad news, Li Hao's good mood disappeared all of a sudden.

Walked to the sand table with a calm face and analyzed whether this ambush battle was hiding other conspiracies.

Less than three minutes had passed, and Zhou Liang came back, his expression a little more dignified than just now.

Just like just now, he handed the telegram in his hand to Li Hao and reported: "Regiment Commander, your order just now has not been issued, and Battalion Commander He sent another telegram. ”

"The situation is urgent, and it has something to do with the order just now, so I'll come here first."

"Battalion Commander He reported: The Japanese puppet army of the ambush transport team had at least 3,000 people, all of whom were transported by mules and horses, and were only equipped with mountain artillery and mortars that could be disassembled."

"After beating the convoy, they will kill in the direction of Lingqiu, the marching speed is very fast, and there is aircraft cover."

Wang Hong's eyes quickly widened, revealing a shocked expression of disbelief.

Looking at Li Hao, he was puzzled and asked, "Leader, I also think the little devil is crazy?" ”

"We can swallow more than 5,000 puppet troops in one bite, let alone more than 3,000 people."

"Aren't they worried that these more than 3,000 people will fall into the mouth of the tiger and there will be no return?"

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "This is also what I don't understand." ”

"When we attacked no man's land, the Japanese puppet army there took the initiative to shrink its forces and stubbornly defend large strongholds. From this point of view, our opponents are not only powerful, but also cautious. ”

"So I judge: These more than 3,000 days of puppet army are by no means the sheep in the mouth of the tiger in our imagination, and there must be a conspiracy in it that we don't know about."

"Conspiracy?" Wang Hong stared at Li Hao and asked.

Hong Linfeng also rushed over when he heard the news, and reminded with a frown: "Regiment leader, political commissar, could this be a bait deliberately released by the little devil?" ”

"You mean the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind?" Wang Hong asked thoughtfully.

Li Hao thought for a while and denied: "It can't be a bait, and it's even more impossible for the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches in the back." ”

"Don't forget, more than 3,000 days of puppet troops are marching towards Lingqiu, this road is our base area, and our eyeliner is all around."

"If the devils still have a back hand, they will be targeted as soon as they go out, and there is no way to hide, how can they be yellow birds."

"Besides, our garrison is not vegetarian."

"Even if the Japanese puppet army really has a rear hand, we also have the strength to hold back this rear hand, and then gather the main force, gather and destroy the bait they released, and if possible, we can also beat their back hand, so that the devil will lose his wife and break his army."

"The Japanese commander suffered so much at our hands because of the light enemy, and he will definitely not make the same mistake again."

Wang Hong thought for a moment and agreed: "It's true! ”

"If I were the commander of the devil army, I would definitely not send three thousand people to kill me."

"There must be a conspiracy in here that we don't know about."

Hong Linfeng also showed a puzzled expression, looked at Li Hao and asked, "Commander, I don't understand what the devil's conspiracy is?" ”

Li Hao thought for a while and replied: "I don't want to think about it, I don't know it, just beat them out of the conspiracy." ”

"Order He Jun to arrange two companies for me to keep an eye on these Japanese puppet troops."

"Political commissar, immediately organize local troops, guerrillas, cover the transfer of ordinary people along the way, and not let the villagers fall into the hands of the Japanese puppet army."

"The ambush point is nearly a hundred kilometers away from Lingqiu, and it would normally take two days to march in a hurry, so I decided to fight once tonight while it was dark to try to get out of their plot."

"If there is no conspiracy, then find a way to annihilate them."

As soon as the chief of staff heard that there was going to be a war, his eyes began to glow.

Leaning over the sand table to search for where the Japanese puppet army would be used as a garrison for tonight.

While watching, he asked: "Regiment commander, which troops are you going to transfer over." ”

Li Hao stared at the map and ordered: "The first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, the guard company, the cavalry battalion, the chariot company, the special agent company, the independent company, all of them are over, plus the two companies of the Guangling independent battalion, the total strength is more than 4,000 people, and they can be taken down even if they are hard." ”
