Dai Li saw that everyone didn't believe it, so he had to continue to explain: "The Independent Brigade was originally a new regiment under Brigade Commander Chen, and in the battle with the Japanese army, they captured a lieutenant general of the devil and eliminated many devil troops. ”

"The chairman of the committee raised their establishment last time, Brigade Commander Chen's unit was upgraded to a division and transferred to Shandong, and the new regiment was upgraded to an independent brigade and stayed in Shanxi, and then ......"

Dai Li said stop here, everyone's hearts tightened, last time it was obviously the chairman of the committee who was calculating, but I didn't expect the independent brigade to have the ability to teach the devil such a big lesson.

"Brother Yu Nong, this is not right! How can the troops of a brigade resist a division? The general's question made everyone nod their heads and looked at Dai Li.

Dai Li's expression was serious, and he explained: "The independent brigade is said to be a brigade, but the strength of the army is more than 30,000, and it is still a veteran. ”

"What?"

The chairman of the committee stood up directly, 30,000 troops and a brigade, what are you kidding, Dai Li's heart tightened, and he continued to explain: "Li Ping once rescued tens of thousands of prisoners, and his troops were replenished from here. ”

Immediately after General Dai Li, the information he got came out one by one, and when he finished speaking, a general said: "Although there is an advantage in troops, Li Ping is definitely a genius, everyone, if you have so many troops in your hands, do you think you can complete the battle?" ”

The general's words silenced everyone, and then shook his head, and the chairman looked at everyone sitting there, and his heart twitched, such a general is actually from the Communist Party's side.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Dai Li hesitated for a while and said, "Chairman of the Committee, the devil still has two troops surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and they are still fighting. ”

"There is also the reason for the devil's encirclement and suppression, which should be related to gold."

After hearing this, the chairman stood up directly and stared at Dai Li: "You mean that those things may have fallen into Yan'an's hands." ”

Dai Li nodded, and the chairman of the committee was furious: "Mother hippie, why don't they report such an important matter, it's really selfish." ”

Dai Li rolled his eyes in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched, it was strange that Yan'an could report it, although he didn't know how much the amount of that batch of gold was, but why should people report it.

Looking at the chairman of the committee who was in a hurry, the generals were puzzled, and after a few minutes, the chairman of the committee, who had calmed down, said: "Tomorrow the chairman will hold a conference to confirm the fact of the destruction of the Fifth Division and boost our morale against Japan." ”

"The expansion of the independent brigade into a division is considered a reward."

After the chairman finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, such a simple reward, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the public, seeing that someone wants to finish, the chairman of the committee is impatient and asks them to leave.

After everyone left, the chairman looked at Dai Li, and said in a serious tone: "Yunong, confirm the news of that batch of gold, I want to know if it fell into Yan'an's hands?" ”

"Yes"

There was silence here, and Li Ping, who was on the other side, looked at the casualty report and his heart twitched.

"Brigade commander, we have lost 6,600 and 55 casualties here, more than 1,500 casualties in the attack on the county seat, and more than half of the casualties on the chief of staff's side."

Li Ping's breathing was heavier, and he also had an artillery advantage, and the troops suffered so many casualties, and the number of dead actually exceeded 10,000.

Looking at Li Ping, who was trembling all over, the political commissar hugged him, this is still a nineteen-year-old child, and he will endure pain that many people can hardly bear.

Li Ping gently wiped away his tears, sat down and smiled bitterly, what he saw was a number, but how many comrades should be buried.

After the political commissar had reported all the seizures, Li Ping finally regained his composure and said: "Order the troops to be reorganized, and each regiment will prepare to return to the defense area to recuperate, and leave the troops of the three regiments behind." ”

"The wounded soldiers are all here, tell those regiment commanders that the weapons and equipment are divided, and the combat effectiveness of the troops must be improved."

"Also, the telegram in clear code has tripled our casualties, so that we have heavy casualties and the base area has been destroyed."

Five hours later, looking at the five regiment commanders, Li Ping opened his mouth and said: "You return to the defense area, there should be no major battles next, we have captured all of you, I will only give you a month, and the troops must be replenished." ”

"Yes, Brigadier."

The five regiment commanders disappeared in the darkness with their troops, and Li Ping began to reorganize the developed troops.

"Brigade commander, in addition to the brigade directly subordinate troops brought by the chief of staff, now we only have 5,000 troops except for the artillery regiment."

After a staff officer finished speaking, Li Ping nodded, the wounded who remained in the headquarters will return to their respective units in the future, and these are all veterans.

After the troops were equipped, Li Ping led the troops to the direction of Taiyuan, and the troops were shining all the way and their morale was high.

When the sky was bright and the news of the Eighth Route Army's elimination of the Fifth Division of the Devils completely spread, Chinese everywhere were in revelry and donated money one after another.

Looking at the casualty telegram sent by the Independent Brigade, the expressions of the various forces were different, the boss saw the exact casualty figure, put down the telegram, and the boss sighed: "The results of the battle are brilliant, but I almost discounted the waist pole of this little guy." ”

The chief of staff shook his head and smiled, and said: "I have seen the specific process, and I can fight with the devil to three, and now any Chinese army does not have this ability, as for casualties, it is inevitable." ”

The boss nodded, Li Ping only reimbursed the devil's artillery before he could have such a result, otherwise the casualties would have to be doubled several times.

"Boss, there should be a lot of seizures in the Independent Brigade, are we ......?"

Before the chief of staff finished speaking, the boss said directly: "Don't, my chief of staff, you better don't beat his idea, otherwise that little guy will have to turn his face." ”

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, Li Ping is now suffering heavy losses, and if he goes to suck blood again, then he can't say anything.

Thinking of this, the chief of staff put his mind down and discussed the next battle with the boss.

Li Ping didn't know what the headquarters thought, he had captured a lot of guns, but he lacked ammunition, and he wanted to finish this battle.

led the troops to attack all the way, and the overwhelming offensive made the devils in Taiyuan tremble.

"Baga, it's an independent brigade again, aren't they suffering heavy losses?" , Lieutenant General Devil was sluggish, he just killed the Fifth Division of the Empire, and you guys jumped out again, he couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I think they are bluffing, you look at the places they attack, they are all places where our troops are weak, and their purpose should be to deal with the other Eighth Route Army, so that we can be tired of coping."

The words of the chief of staff of the devil reminded the lieutenant general of the devil, and he immediately reacted that the purpose of the Eighth Route was to allow himself to transfer troops to protect the logistics line and respond to the attacks of other Eighth Route Army.

But the attack of the independent brigade must not be guarded against, one is accidentally disrupted the rhythm, and the other troops have to follow in the footsteps of the Fifth Division.

Thinking of this, he immediately reported the situation to North China, and Sugiyama Moto, who received the telegram, looked at the name of the Independent Brigade and his eyes dizzy.
