In a forest twenty kilometers east of Datong City, more than 100 warriors hid in it to rest, and many warriors lurked in the surrounding bushes, heavily guarded.

There was a radio station in the middle of the woods, and the telegraph operator wore headphones and sat on the ground very seriously to receive and receive telegrams.

There was a young man standing next to him, his eyes had been staring at the radio station where "Didi ......" sounded, and a trace of anxiety flashed on his calm face from time to time.

This is the headquarters of the garrison regiment and the guard company that hurried back to the base area.

In order to ensure that the command headquarters knows the outside world news anytime and anywhere, every hour of rushing to the road, the troops stop for 10 minutes to rest, set up a radio station, and receive news from the outside world.

A few minutes later, the telegraph operator took off his headphones and quickly began translating the telegram code he had just received.

After a few more minutes, he skillfully handed the telegram to the young man behind him: "The regiment commander, the political commissar and the chief of staff urgently telegraph!" ”

"The Japanese puppet army attacking the base area suddenly slowed down its offensive, and they were worried that the Japanese army had seen through our plan, and when the main force of the regiment arrived, they would wipe us out on the Laiyuan front."

"Impossible!" The head of the regiment did not hesitate to deny.

Then he replied confidently: "The Japanese don't have that much appetite and don't have that much guts." ”

"We once killed five thousand elite little devils in one battle, not to mention the five thousand puppet army."

"Eat a lamp and grow wise, the Japanese army will not go to the island for the same thing."

"If they knew that we had returned to the base area, they would definitely order the attacking troops to retreat immediately, instead of fighting us on the Laiyuan front line and sending them to their deaths in vain."

"Call back to the political commissar: Find out if the Japanese puppet army has the intention of retreating, if not, then their purpose of slowing down the offensive is definitely not to wait for us, and I don't know that we are on our way back to the base area."

After thinking for a while, he continued to order: "Contact Chief of Staff Zhou on the Datong front again, is there any change in the Datong defenders?" ”

The two return calls were delivered to Li Hao an hour later, and the first to arrive was a telegram from Chief of Staff Zhou.

Zhou Liang handed the telegram to Li Hao to report.

"Regiment commander, the chief said that the attack on Datong was very smooth, and the troops had occupied more than two-fifths of the urban area of Datong."

"The Japanese planes came twice, the first time one was destroyed and one was damaged, and the planes that came over for subsequent reinforcements were much more honest, and the impact on the war situation was very limited."

"It is estimated that there are more than 1,200 Japanese puppet troops in the city, and the battle will definitely end tonight."

Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's right." ”

"If the Japanese army knows that we have returned to the base area, but we are still attacked so fiercely, we will immediately know that there are other troops participating in the attack, Datong City will be destroyed, and morale and military morale will also be affected, which will then affect the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"But the remaining Japanese puppet army in Datong has not moved, and it is still the same as before we retreated, delaying time by fighting street battles."

"This shows that they still have hope for the troops attacking our base area, and still expect them to force us to withdraw our troops and relieve the danger of Datong, so as to save their own lives."

After a few more minutes, the political commissar's reply also arrived: "Regiment commander, the political commissar said that the Japanese puppet army that attacked us has no intention of retreating, and the follow-up troops are still being assembled, and the total strength may exceed five thousand." ”

"In addition, they learned from the captured spies that the Japanese army was collecting information on various local troops and guerrillas in the base area to determine whether they had all gone to the Laiyuan battlefield."

Li Hao immediately understood, and said happily: "I have figured out the reason why the Japanese army slowed down the offensive. ”

"They want to wipe out all the local troops and guerrillas in the base area on the Laiyuan battlefield, not us."

"The Japanese army is so calculating!"

"If the attacking troops force a breakthrough, they will definitely be able to enter the base area in a short time."

"However, after entering the base area, it will definitely be attacked by local troops and guerrillas everywhere and plunged into the vast sea of people's war."

"Not only will it affect the progress of their operations to completely occupy our base areas, but it will also pay a huge price."

"If we can wipe out our local troops and guerrillas in Laiyuan, they will be able to drive straight into the base area without worrying about being attacked, and then control our base area at the lowest cost and in the shortest time."

"It must be that after the chief of staff returned to the base area, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Japanese puppet army, the soldiers were asked to pretend to be guerrillas and local troops to participate in the war, so that the Japanese army temporarily decided to change the way of fighting."

"Since the devil has this kind of thought, then we will give them a plan."

"Call back to the political commissar: order all local troops in the base area to march to the Laiyuan battlefield in a hurry."

"The Japanese army wants to wipe out these troops on the Laiyuan battlefield, then we will fulfill their dreams, see that their goals are being achieved little by little, and be happy before dying, and by the way, we can also reduce the pressure of the chief of staff to block."

"When the main force of the regiment arrives at the Laiyuan battlefield, the Japanese army will not have time to run, and they will be caught off guard by us."

At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the intelligence chief ran to the military commander's office with an excited face on his face with good news.

"Your Excellency, your previous judgments were all right?"

"I have just received information that in order to block our attack, the garrison regiment is drawing local troops and guerrillas from farther away from the base area to participate in the battle."

"More than 2,000 local troops and guerrillas have been assembled on the Laiyuan battlefield."

"There are nearly 2,000 people on the road in the back, all of whom will be in place by dawn tomorrow."

The chief of staff looked at the person in charge of intelligence and asked, "The total number of local troops formed by the garrison regiment should be about 5,000 people, right?" ”

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" The head of intelligence is sure.

The chief of staff also smiled, looked at the army commander and said happily: "Your Excellency, our goal is almost achieved." ”

"Kill these 5,000 local troops, and the garrison base area will completely open its arms to us."

"According to the plan, after the first operational objective is reached, the attacking force will be divided into two: the main force of 3,000 will march to Hunyuan, block the rear road of the garrison regiment, prevent them from returning to the base area, and block them in the territory of Datong."

"The other 2,000 people divided their troops to occupy the garrison base area and completely control it."

The commander also had a long-lost smile on his face.

But he soon returned to seriousness, and looked at his subordinates and ordered: "We can't pin all our hopes on the battle of Laiyuan, although the garrison regiment has transferred all the local troops to the Laiyuan front, it is not ruled out that there will be some fish that will slip through the net." ”

"There is a saying in the Eighth Route Army: A spark can start a prairie fire."

"As long as there is still the Eighth Route Army in the garrison base area, they will not let us occupy their base area easily, so 2,000 people will definitely not be enough."

"Chief of Staff, you will transfer another 3,000 people from the rear garrison and enter the garrison regiment base area in batches."

"It can be the Imperial Army or the Imperial Cooperative Army, completely controlling the garrison base area."

"On the Laiyuan battlefield, we must pay special attention to the rhythm of the offensive, the victory of our encirclement and annihilation of all the local troops of the garrison regiment is close at hand, and there must be no accident in the middle, resulting in the failure of all the layouts in front of us."

The chief of staff's face also returned to seriousness: "Don't worry, the commander will send a telegram to remind them as soon as he is humble." ”
