When Li Hao led the guerrillas in Lingqiu, the main force was not idle.

The Jin-Cha-Ji base area was established to take root behind enemy lines to fight the Japanese army.

The Japanese North China Front also began to pay attention to this opponent, which was ignored by itself, the Eighth Route Army, and transferred heavy troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress them, hoping to nip them in the bud.

The newly established Jinchaji Base Area was unlucky and became the first target of the devils.

At the headquarters of the 1st Division, the chief of staff walked in with a solemn face with several pieces of information in his hand.

"Commander, the information we have received in the past few days is true, the Japanese army is planning a large-scale sweep, the target is us, and the military district has been determined through the intelligence department. And ordered us to prepare for anti-encirclement and suppression! ”

The commander frowned and asked, "Is there a specific order?" ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied.

"In three days at most, the Japanese army's sweep of us will begin, and more than 20,000 puppet soldiers will sweep our Jinchaji base area in eight ways!"

"The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the military region ordered us to use guerrilla warfare and night warfare to drag down the three-way Japanese puppet army that had passed through our first divisional defense area. Then the camera looks for the fighters, hits them all the way, damages them hard, and forces them to retreat! ”

"I just counted that the three-way sweeping troops that the military region let us hold back, the Japanese army alone adds up to 6,000 people, not counting the puppet army of two or three thousand!"

The commander's brows furrowed even deeper: "The idea of the military region is very good, if the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers." But with the current strength of the division, the difficulty of breaking one finger is not ordinary! ”

The chief of staff also frowned, and replied hesitantly: "Although our first subdivision was expanded on the basis of an independent regiment, half of the main force of the military region is here. But after all, if you are not satisfied with the editor, all the veterans add up to a thousand. Although after this period of development, the total strength has been tripled to three brigades. However, because there was no war, there were few captures, and the troops were mainly supplemented by the collection of civilian equipment, and the equipment of the three brigades was very poor, and the ammunition was even more pitiful! ”

"Take the third brigade as an example, the entire brigade is full of more than 900 people, but it is only equipped with less than 400 rifles, five light machine guns, and not one heavy machine gun. Looking at the entire brigade, there are only one or four or two companies that can pull out and fight the devils, and the others are worthy of the image for the time being! ”

"And the Japanese puppet army we need to deal with adds up to more than 8,000 people, more than twice as many troops, well-equipped, ample ammunition, and artillery, and can call for reinforcements from planes at any time, the disparity in strength is too great, and there is almost no chance of victory!"

"If you don't have a chance of winning, you have to fight!" The commander gritted his teeth and replied.

"The orders of the military region must be carried out, if we do not complete the task and let the devils kill from our division to the headquarters of the military region, then the organs of the military region will be in danger. When the time comes, we will be sinners in the whole base area! ”

"It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers, and we will fight in accordance with the plan put forward by the military region."

"The three-way Japanese puppet army is attacking the troops, two of which are mainly harassing, and concentrate superior forces to attack one of them!"

The chief of staff frowned, and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way.

The same is true of the commander, whose wrinkled brow has not relaxed since the beginning, and the expression on his face has not changed at all.

The chief of staff could only sigh and replied helplessly: "Commander, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, our troops are still too small, and the equipment is too poor, and the ammunition is insufficient, this is the biggest problem we are facing in front of us!" ”

"Striking hard at one of the attacking units of the Japanese puppet army, even if it is the weakest one, we must concentrate on one, two, or two brigades with the strongest combat effectiveness in the division. In this way, the division is left with the 3rd Brigade and the direct guard company! ”

"The strength of the third brigade is too poor, and it can only be responsible for attacking and harassing one of the Japanese puppet armies, and it is impossible to divide the troops."

"The divisional guard company wants to protect the headquarters and can't go. This means that we don't have extra troops to attack and harass the Japanese puppet army on the third road, and even a single soldier can't pull it out! ”

"As long as this problem is solved, the military sub-district will have a 50 percent chance of completing the tasks assigned to us by the military region!"

The commander's furrowed brow did not change, and this was also a problem that he could not solve.

In the small war room, because of this unsolvable problem, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, Staff Officer Zhou, who was in charge of contacting the local guerrillas, reminded in a low voice: "Chief, I think there is still a unit in the division that can be used!" ”

"What troops!" The commander and the chief of staff focused their eyes on Staff Officer Zhou at the same time.

Staff Officer Zhou immediately replied: "It's a guerrilla!" From the moment we entered here, we sent a large number of teams to go deep into the counties to form anti-Japanese guerrilla units, and now every county within the boundaries of a sub-district has formed at least one guerrilla unit! ”

"If the commander believes them, he can rally them to fight!"

"Although the strength of each guerrilla force is not much, there must be a thousand guerrillas in several counties!"

The commander was very happy, and now his biggest problem was the lack of troops.

If a thousand people could really come out of nowhere, then the problem would be solved.

I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when a question popped up in my head.

If I am not mistaken, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the main force, the weapons and ammunition scattered among the people in several counties were searched almost all over again.

As long as the bullets can be shot, whether it is an old sleeve or a more backward singles one, all priority is given to replenishing the main force.

Even so, nearly a third of the fighters in today's main force do not have guns, and one person fights with devils with two grenades!

None of the main forces were armed, let alone the partisans.

The commander's brows furrowed again, and he stared at Staff Officer Zhou and asked, "How is their equipment?" ”

"This ......" Staff Officer Zhou hesitated for a moment and did not hide it.

"Very poor, each guerrilla with less than ten rifles, all old sleeves with rifled and smoothed, everyone else with daring and spears, and some with muskets......"

The commander's brows furrowed even deeper, and he objected without hesitation: "You can't let them go to the battlefield!" ”

"The equipment is so poor, and it's a bunch of people who have just put down their hoes and haven't been trained yet. It's really against the devil, it's no different from sending it to death! ”

"Unless the main force is exhausted, they must not be sent to death!"

At this moment, Staff Officer Zhou, who had his head down, suddenly thought of a report that had just been sent by the Lingqiu County Underground Party a few hours ago.

The eyes lit up and replied: "Commander, I remember, there is a guerrilla unit that is different!" ”

"The anti-Japanese guerrillas in Lingqiu County, although they are guerrillas, they are very well equipped and have very good combat effectiveness, and they also fought with the little devils some time ago and killed hundreds of puppet troops!"

"Because the report has just been sent and has not yet been verified, and everyone is discussing how to counter the encirclement and suppression, I did not report it!"

The commander was shocked by Staff Officer Zhou's words, and asked with a look of disbelief: "Kill hundreds of puppet troops in one battle, are you sure this is really a guerrilla fight!" ”

"Also, they fought such a big victory, why didn't they report it as soon as possible, how could I, the commander of the division, not know!"
