Chapter 395: The Situation Is Critical, Military Situation is Foggy

Lin'an County. North Road on the north side of the West City Gate. The backyard of the Fangjia stove store.

Wan Fulai, who was already soaking wet, was still standing in the rain stupidly. The more he pondered in his heart, the more scared he became, because his parents died early and became orphans, wandering around, begging and stealing on the streets, and being bullied and beaten by others, he knew and understood since he was a child: the old man Fang Da first saved his cicada belly and turtle intestines, and brought his life into the Fang family for adoption, paid for the healing of his injuries, paid for school and study, and sent him to the Weiyuan Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts. Fang Daxian and the Fang family have been kind to themselves and rebuilt, and they have been in love with Fang Daxian for more than 20 years, and they have deep feelings. However, if you provoke and anger your elders, violate your family, or violate family rules and laws, you will definitely be punished severely and will not be forgiven. Although he is the same brother as Fang Jiren, and although he is five or six years older than Fang Jiren, he has always been respected as a cultural teacher and martial arts master, and he has been called the sixth brother since he was a child. Alas, just now he beat his woman, the daughter-in-law of the old lady, the heir of the Fang family, and the young grandmother of the principal, this crime is too great, and the heavy punishment of the family law is certain. Ay? Why am I still standing here in the rain? I have to hurry back to Fang's house and take the initiative to ask the old lady and the sixth brother for their guilt.

Wan Fulai, who was soaked inside and out, rode his bicycle out the back door and left the stove shop, and ran towards the north gate of the Fang family's compound in the wind and rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the streets of the county town were empty. In the alleys of the alley, there was a strange convoy of two detectives on bicycles at the front, three rickshaws trotting in the middle, and two detectives on bicycles at the back. The cyclists and pullers were soaking wet. Along the way of the convoy, young men with oilcloth umbrellas or straw hats and robes stood vigilantly in the rain on the side of the road, looking back and forth, left and right, and after the convoy passed, these people followed quickly and quickly.

The convoy circled the streets and alleys in the wind and rain for a while, and finally came to a stop in front of the south gate of a house, and the two young men in the gatehouse immediately opened their tarpaulin umbrellas and walked down the steps to the middle box full package rickshaw to shelter from the rain. The middle-aged woman carried the still unconscious Gülen on her back, and with the support of two young men, one on the left and one on the right, she walked up the steps into the courtyard with great difficulty, and half of the gate closed tightly with a "clang". The three drivers pulled up the rickshaw and walked into the garage gate more than ten meters west of the courtyard gate.

The four detectives, who were standing twenty or thirty meters away from the east and west sides of the courtyard gate, saw that the courtyard gate was empty, so they got on their bicycles and left.

The Lin'an County Detective Team is stationed. Qian Wanlin's dormitory bedroom.

Qian Wanlin, who was only wearing white cloth pants, and his concubine Zhenzhen sat cross-legged on the bed side by side, their eyes lit up with excitement, and their four hands counted a large pile of silver dollars and military hand tickets spread out on the bed. All of this money was smuggled and robbed by the detective team when they searched the Fang family's shop for several days in a row, and most of it was filial piety and handed over to Qian Wanlin. Before he finished counting how much money he had, Qian Wanlin excitedly reached out and ripped off the belly pocket on Zhenzhen's chest. "Ahh Zhen Zhenjiao shouted and lay on her back on the bed.

The southwest of the Hebei border region in western Hebei. Shuihe Village Village Office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters.

The wind and rain outside the war room stopped, and the brawl in the war room also stopped for the time being. The political commissar, the chief of staff, the three battalion commanders, and the instructor all looked at Han Dagang expectantly and curiously, and they all wanted to hear what he would say. How will you explain the tactical assumptions and combat objectives of the night attack on Lin An Town? Only Yu Genshan was worried and uneasy, looking at Han Dagang with frowns, not knowing what Han Dagang wanted to explain? How to explain? How could he know and understand the tactical plan and the purpose of the battle for the night attack on Lin An Town? What Yu Genshan was most worried about was that Han Dagang intentionally or unintentionally involved Fang Jiren in the process of explaining. But at this point, there is no way to stop it in public.

Han Dagang stood in front of the map, looked at everyone with blazing eyes, raised a chopstick in his right hand and pointed to the detailed military map of the western Hebei region where the Japanese army was captured hanging on the wall and said:

"Comrades, I think you have seen this map many times, and you should know it in your chest. However, it won't be easy to win battles with this map. Please see, the county seat of Lin'an County is more than 20 miles away from the garrison of our army in Shuihe Village, and Lin'an Town is 10 miles away from Shuihe Village. Lin'an Town is the forward position of the Japanese army to launch a tactical and tentative small-scale attack on Shuihe Village, and a bridgehead that can be attacked, retreated, and defended to contain and block the eastward development of our army. It was the main forces of the Japanese army stationed in Lin'an County that launched a large-scale strategic and decisive offensive against our army. If the Japanese troops in Lin'an County and Lin'an Town attack our army from two directions at the same time, our army will be in danger. This danger will soon arise. How to deal with it? It is far from enough for our army to seize the time to train troops, reorganize and replenish armaments, and reconnoiter the enemy's situation. After the 'May Day Sweep', the Japanese army in Lin'an County increased by nearly 10,000 troops, and the Imperial Association Army expanded by nearly 30,000 troops, stationed in several towns and villages ten miles away from Shuihe Village, forming a semi-encirclement of Shuihe Village from south to north. This is a situation that has never appeared since North China was occupied by the Japanese army, so why did the enemy send additional troops to the western Hebei region, which is a non-military key point in western North China, at this time? What is the enemy going to do? Why did the commander of our division and brigade order the supplementary regiment with heavy casualties to stay and stick to the western Hebei region? These are all things that we do not know for the time being, and we should find out and understand them as soon as possible. After the 'May Day Sweep', so long time has passed, and the Japanese army has not launched an attack on our army in Shuihe Village, why is this? It's not normal. I think it's a temporary calm before the fierce battle, the big war. The additional Japanese troops did not come to the western Hebei region to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and there would certainly be a strategic big operation. Although the higher-level leaders have not clearly told us why we must hold on to the western Hebei region, all of us have analyzed and studied it, and we must have major military strategic intentions. ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Deputy Head Han, what you said from both strategic and tactical aspects is correct, it is very good, and it is also very timely. However, does this have anything to do with the night attack on Lin An Town by leading your troops? The commissar interjected.

"Of course, there is a direct relationship. Moreover, the night attack on Lin'an Town was very timely, very necessary, and even more necessary. Han Dagang replied affirmatively.

"Oh? Deputy Head Han, could you please elaborate on why? The chief of staff asked.

"Okay. Let me elaborate on why you attacked Lin'an Town at night······"

"Report!" Ma Fucai, the commander of the sixth company of the second battalion, pushed the door into the war room like a gust of wind, panicked and stumbled in front of Yu Genshan, forgot to stand up and salute, and handed Yu Genshan a note out of breath.

Yu Genshan glared reproachfully at Ma Fucai, who did not pay attention to military regulations, took the note and looked at it carefully, and suddenly his face changed suddenly and he stood up in a panic. Lost his mouth and shouted:

"Huh?! This? This? How so? Yes? Alas! ”
