Chapter 159: Break the Whole into Pieces and Disperse the Battle.
"Yes!"
Seeing that Lei Wancheng was really angry, Yang Chenghu pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything more, then stood up and saluted a military salute.
"Okay...... let's continue the meeting, Yang Chenghu, sit down."
Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene was a little embarrassing, the political commissar hurriedly played a round and raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down.
Coughing lightly, Lei Wancheng picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the place on the map where the Shizi Jade Department was stationed and continued:
"According to our intelligence analysis, the Kurita Wing sent by the 69th Division of the Japanese Army and the 331st Regiment of the 331st Independent Brigade of the Puppet Army have moved to Xia County for a generation, and they intend to move in the direction of Jiangxian County.
The Kurosawa Wing of the 36th Division and the 502nd Infantry Regiment of the newly formed Independent Fifth Brigade of the puppet army have already moved south along Qinshui, and the target is also the Jiangxian generation.
The Japanese army dispatched the strength of these two wings, apparently going straight to Shi Ziyu's 70th Division.
As for the Fujita Wing and the two battalions of the puppet army in Hengqu County, their main task was to sweep the base of our column to the north, and then complete the north-south convergence with the Japanese army on the northern front, so as to gather and annihilate us in the area between Hengqu and Jiangxian County. ”
After a general explanation of the deployment of the Japanese puppet army, Lei Wancheng began the final task assignment.
"Yang Chenghu! Xu Guofeng! ”
"Here!"
"From now on, the two of you will immediately lead the troops to pull out the camp, and the special service battalion will move in the direction of Hengqu County, mobilize the masses along the way to move towards the mountains, lay mines on the main roads to set up obstacles, and drive against the Japanese sweeping troops entering the mountains.
Remember never to be careless and careless against the enemy, and when attacking the enemy, you must fight quickly, and never fall in love with war and fight hard. Do you understand? ”
"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. ”
"Shen Cunzhi!"
"Here!"
"You led your troops in the direction of Xia County, mobilized the masses along the way to move towards the mountains, destroyed the main roads, planted mines, and drove against the sweeping Japanese puppet army.
I know that your second company has few people, and later I will supplement the fifth company of recruits from the first battalion to your second company, and you kid must bring me the troops well! ”
"Please rest assured, commander, as long as I don't die, Shen Cunzhi, the second company will be here!"
"Han Weimin Xu Dongsheng!"
"Here!"
"You took a battalion and a guard company, responsible for the protection of the column headquarters and the sanitary corps and the artillery company, and later moved towards the mountains with the column command organs.
”
"Yes!"
In the end, the head of the regiment looked at Zhao Shixun and said lightly:
"Zhao Shixun, the commander of the seventh company, as well as the instructor Zhou Yu and the deputy pillar of the company, stayed, and the others immediately returned to their respective units and set off immediately without delay!"
"Yes......."
After a loud roar of chair movements, everyone who received the task left the conference room one after another, leaving only three people from the Seventh Company still standing in place.
When Yang Chenghu left, he deliberately walked to Zhao Shixun's side and glanced at the other party, as if he wanted to say something before parting, but after looking at each other for more than ten seconds, Yang Chenghu finally failed to say a word.
Zhao Shixun looked at Yang Chenghu's back, and felt slightly lonely in his heart. Under the pressure of the Japanese soldiers, although the other party and himself have not been on the right path, Zhao Shixun can still see something from Yang Chenghu's eyes.
In this situation, the tasks of the special service battalion are heavy and difficult, Zhao Shixun is still very clear, a battalion of less than 200 people plus a company of 100 people to attract and harass the sweep of a wing of the Japanese army, with his toes to know what kind of price and hardship needs to be paid.
Whether the two will be able to see each other alive after this battle is a big unknown.
Seeing that everyone had left, the political commissar got up and walked over with a smile with an ordinary white porcelain kettle
"You three sit down first, I really don't have any tea to entertain you, let's make do with some hot water first."
"Commissar, let's do it ourselves."
Zhou Yu's heart warmed, and he hurriedly took the kettle in the political commissar's hand and poured a cup for Zhao Shixun Zhuzi and himself.
After Lei Wancheng motioned to the guards to close the door of the conference room, he got up and sat opposite Jiang Hongfei and the three of them.
Tiger eyes swept the three of them, and Lei Wancheng took out a box of rare cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to each of them.
In the midst of the smoke, Lei Wancheng, who was preoccupied, spoke.
"Comrade Zhao Shixun, I left the three of you alone, do you know what it is for?"
Without going straight to the point, Lei Wancheng looked at Zhao Shixun and asked rhetorically.
After taking a few puffs and taking most of the cigarette in his hand, Zhao Shixun breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at each other with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, the commander's only purpose in leaving me is for the remnants of the Seventy Division in the northeast."
Nodding silently, Lei Wancheng gently snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
"The Japanese puppet army was about to sweep away, and in addition to ordering our first column to prepare for battle, the higher authorities also asked us to try to get in touch with the 70th Division. If possible, it would be best for the two sides to form a joint operation, and try to disperse the Japanese forces from Hengqu to Yangcheng, so as to prevent the Japanese from breaking us individually. ”
Speaking of this, Lei Wancheng looked at Jiang Hongfei beside him and motioned for him to speak next.
Jiang Hongfei clasped his hands together, looked at Zhao Shixun with a serious expression and asked:
"Comrade Zhao Shixun, as you know, our Eighth Route Army troops in the southern Jinnan region have not had much contact with the Jinsui Army, and the trust between the two sides is also very low. The commander and I considered that you were more familiar with the troops in the Second War Zone before, I don't know if you are familiar with this Shi Ziyu? ”
After taking a sip of the hot water in the cup, Zhao Shixun pursed his lips and said lightly:
"When I was in the national army before, I accompanied Commander Tang to meet each other a few times, and I didn't know each other very well, so I could only be regarded as acquaintances."
Although he can't say this, in fact, Zhao Shixun and the other party can still talk. When they were in the national army, the two were also considered to have the same temper, and they were both soldiers who were unwilling to chase after the dogs and horses. Although Zhao Shixun was only the commander of a guard company beside Commander Tang, Shi Ziyu never looked down on him.
But now that he has participated in the Eighth Road, and the discord between Jin Suijun and the Eighth Road is almost a well-known thing, so Zhao Shixun didn't say much about the relationship between the two.
Lei Wancheng and Jiang Hongfei nodded when they heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, the political commissar looked at Zhao Shixun and said solemnly again:
"Comrade Zhao Shixun, the situation is urgent, so I will make a long story short.
Riesling and I thought about it for a while, and planned to send you to Dingjiawa in the southeast of Jiangxian County with the Seventh Company, and try to contact the Shiziyu Division of the Seventy Division where it was stationed. If possible, I hope you will let them join forces with us to smash this Japanese puppet army's encirclement and sweep of the Nakajo Mountain area. ”
Speaking of this, Political Commissar Jiang took out an envelope and handed it to Zhao Shixun.
"Here is some information we have about the movement of the Japanese puppet army, which is very precious. After you read it, you handed him over to Shi Ziyu and told him to pay attention to the movement of the Japanese army and try to avoid being surrounded by the Japanese army. ”
Looking at each other deeply, Zhao Shixun carefully put the envelope into his pocket.
Coughing slightly, Lei Wancheng suddenly stood up and took out a box and a half of cigarettes from his coat pocket and put them straight in front of Zhao Shixun.
"The Japanese puppet army of the Jiangxian generation moved frequently, and it was an area where the enemy's forces were relatively dense. After you go deep alone, you must be careful and careful on the road. ”
Silently putting away the cigarette rolls on the table, Zhao Shixun smiled gratefully.
"Understood......."
……
At noon, the commander of the 1st column and the political commissar personally sent the 7th Company out of the station.
Before leaving, the political commissar asked Lao Qin Tou of the Quartermaster Department to send 200 rifle bullets, 100 pistol bullets, plus 40 border grenades to the Seventh Company. Not only that, the political commissar also asked Lao Qintou to equip the soldiers of the Seventh Company with a Japanese-style steel helmet, which was an exception for the Seventh Company to greatly replenish the supplies.
You must know that the whole company has troops equipped with Japanese-style steel helmets, and there are not many troops in the entire Eighth Route Army.
After removing the casualties of the Seventh Company some time ago, only eighty-two people are now able to participate in the battle. According to intelligence, the Japanese puppet army of the Chaojiang County movement alone reached two wings plus two regiments of puppet army, not including the local Japanese puppet army garrison.
The Seventh Company is indeed too thin for this person to carry out the task. Lei Wancheng and Jiang Hongfei are also very guilty about this, but they can't help it, there is really no one left.
Since leading the troops south to the Zhongtiao Mountain area, Lei Wancheng and Jiang Hongfei have hardly slept well. The troops suffered heavy casualties in frequent battles, but supplies from the rear were delayed.
After more than four months of tossing and turning of this generation, not only has the original task of expanding the team not been completed, but the number of people in the first column is not as good as when it went south.
Recently, as soon as he wanted to take a breath, the devil immediately transferred a large number of troops from the front line back to the defense and began to sweep the base area, and this posture was aimed at completely exterminating the anti-Japanese forces in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
In order to minimize the losses in the base area, Lei Wancheng had to send out all the troops that had not yet recovered their combat effectiveness, and while harassing the Japanese army, they covered and mobilized the civilians along the way to quickly move towards the mountains.
During the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, after hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops engaged in a brutal tug-of-war in this generation, the common people of this generation were already devastated enough by the war. If we don't cover the transfer quickly, once the Japanese come to the three-light policy again, the base area will basically become a no-man's land.
For this reason, a column has already sent out all the troops that can be dispatched, that is, the guard company of the headquarters, which now has only more than 50 people, and they are not even equipped with a light machine gun.
As for the transfer of a battalion with the headquarters, although they had two companies of more than 200 people. But with the exception of half of the sick and wounded, the rest were recruits who had been in the army for less than two months.
Although it is known as a battalion, there is only one crooked machine gun that is considered heavy firepower, and the rest of the people are basically made of old sleeves in Hanyang, except for a dozen veterans, no more than five bullets per person in the gun.
