Chapter 26: Choosing the Moment

The devil's movements were very fast, and the devils of the two wings quickly entered the base areas of the three regiments, and Li Ping, who received the telegram from the brigade headquarters, closed his eyes and thought about how the new regiment should share their pressure.

"Regiment commander, the devil's current troop deployment is like a hedgehog, it will bleed when it touches it, their logistics are in Pingxian, and the transportation of ammunition and equipment is a brigade, and our new regiment can't find a place to go now." , The chief of staff looked depressed, and the devil was afraid that he had planned it well, and all his weaknesses had been strengthened.

"I think we have no choice but to wait, if we want to send troops to reinforce the independent regiment, the distance is too far, and the time is too late, and we can't give up our base area."

……

The staff officers of the command began to discuss, and the political commissar looked at the calm Li Ping, expecting him to come up with a good solution.

Li Ping suddenly opened his eyes, walked quickly to the map, was silent for a while, and said, "Since there is no chance now, then we will make a chance." ”

"Order Chen Zhong's first battalion to take his troops to harass the devil's transport brigade, not seeking to destroy them, but with only one purpose, to slow down the devil's transportation and even interrupt their route."

"Xiao Ping's second battalion sent troops to harass the two towns around Ping County, making the devils think that we were going to attack these two places."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the chief of staff raised his head in confusion and asked: "Regiment commander, what is the purpose of this, we have no advantage in either direction." ”

Li Ping smiled and said confidently: "I just want to let the devils move, and when they find out about our new movements, then we must be on guard, and when the devils move, we will have a chance." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

The movements of the new regiment in the county town are not clear for the time being, and after Kimura goes to the front, the two brigades in his hands are guarding the logistics route.

"Report to the captain, a new regiment of troops has appeared in two towns." , a signal soldier ran in and telegraphed to Ichiro Hirara.

Ichiro Hirahara took a look at it, showed a sneer, and said: "Send a telegram to the garrison troops, let them rest assured that the new regiment will not attack desperately, and the new regiment has not yet taken these two towns, their purpose is to harass us, so as to relieve the pressure on the independent regiment ......of the Eighth Route Army." Before he could finish speaking, a signal soldier ran in.

"Report to the captain of the brigade, report to the transport troops, they encountered a new regiment of troops, the road was destroyed, ask for guidance."

"Baga, a brigade of transports is still afraid of the new regiment, tell them that the new regiment does not have the courage to attack them, the purpose is to slow down the ammunition we transport to the front line, as long as the troops of the new regiment attack again, then destroy them."

"Hi"

Ichiro Hihara can finally conclude now that his judgment is right, he looked at the place occupied by the new regiment, and sneered, When the encirclement and suppression of the independent regiment is over, you will be next.

A day later, Li Ping looked at the telegram in his hand, and the chief of staff asked: "Regiment commander, the devil still hasn't moved, our plan has failed, what should we do next?" ”

Li Ping put down the telegram and said with a smile: "You said failure, in my opinion no, I sent so many troops, do you think that the devil will think that our troops are so many?" ”

The chief of staff was stunned, then reacted and said: "Regiment commander, our two battalions are reinforced battalions, as long as the devil counts, he will think that there are so many people in our regiment, after all, our two battalions together are more than one regiment." ”

"Yes, since you show your hole cards, the enemy will be more assured, but we still have cards in our hands."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the chief of staff's eyes lit up and blurted out: "The regiment is directly under the troops, and we also have a battalion of fresh troops." ”

Li Ping smiled and said to the chief of staff: "Order Chen Zhong, let him drag the devil's transport brigade all the way, fight a few more sneak attacks, and don't let them have a good time." ”

"Yes, Captain."

The commander of the new regiment did not know that they were now in a hurry, and the two wings of the devil were attacking all the way, and the losses of the three regiments were constantly increasing.

"Brigade commander, the devil is desperate to destroy the independent regiment, you look at this information, the devils of a wing are besieging in three ways, and there is no way back for the independent regiment to retreat." , the chief of staff stared at the map after speaking, and wanted to find a way to fish out the independent regiment.

"The situation of the other two regiments is not good, the devils of one wing are responsible for pursuing them, and now let alone reinforcing the independent regiment, it is difficult to protect themselves." , the political commissar had a gloomy face, if he continued to fight like this, the three regiments would have to be wiped out.

The brigade commander looked at the map and sighed in his heart, there was no way, the sharp strength of the devil put the three regiments on the verge of destruction.

"Send them a telegram and let them find a way to retreat to the mountains, as long as people live, we have opportunities, and the most important thing is to preserve the vitality."

The brigade commander's decision made the two political commissars smile bitterly, and said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, retreat into the mountains, not to mention how much effort we have to make to come out again, the most important thing is that the base area we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and this matter must be reported to the headquarters." ”

"Well, you go and send a telegram to the headquarters and tell us about our difficulties, and they will understand."

"Yes"

The headquarters received the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief looked at the map, his heart was dripping blood, he slapped the table with his palm, and said loudly: "Send a telegram to Brigade Commander Chen, agree to their plan, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Brigade Commander Chen, who received the telegram from the headquarters, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent a telegram to the three regiments.

The Eighth Route Army wanted to retreat into the mountains, but the two wings of the devil found out and immediately deployed troops to intercept them.

The battlefield on the side of the independent regiment was in full swing, and Li Ping of the new regiment also received a telegram from the brigade headquarters, looked at the map, and the time had come.

"Chief of Staff, what's the situation on Chen Zhong's side?"

The chief of staff raised his head and said, "Regiment Commander, Chen Zhong reported that the devil's transport brigade was divided into two squadrons to snipe them, and one squadron was asked to transport ammunition to the front line, and they are currently entangled with two devil squadrons. ”

Li Ping smiled coldly and said to the chief of staff: "Order the troops of the directly subordinate battalion to prepare to set off, and the target is the two squadrons of devils." ”

"Yes, Captain."

Li Ping quickly rushed to the direction of Chenzhong with his direct battalion, and a day later, he joined Chenzhong's troops and began to rest.

"Commander, do you want to take down these two devil squadrons tonight?"

Li Ping nodded to Chen Zhong and said, "The devil squadron transporting ammunition has gone far, with our current strength, it will not be a problem to take these two squadrons, this is only the first step." ”

"I see, Captain."

The Eighth Route Army was deploying the battlefield, and the two devil squadrons that were chasing over were also resting, and after a few days of fighting, everyone was very tired.

Li Ping observed the deployment of the two squadrons and said to Chen Zhong: "Do you see the distribution of the two devil squadrons?" You two battalions give me a quick intersperse, divide the devil into several parts, and then eliminate them. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Huzi and said, "Huzi, the target of your special combat team is the devil's radio station, and the devil can't be allowed to send any telegrams." ”

"Yes, Captain."

Huzi immediately lurked over with thirty people, and Li Ping immediately let the two battalions move, as soon as the gunfire rang out on Huzi's side, the attack began.

"Dadada"

Shots rang out, and the fighters of the two battalions immediately charged, and the night was the best cover.

"Baga, eight night attacks, give me defense."
