Seeing the secret telegram from the division headquarters, the cold sweat on Zhang Ran's forehead came down instantly!

The content of the secret telegram is very simple - due to the mutiny of the comrades of the organization, the various squads that went to the Jindong detachment for treatment with the seriously wounded at the cadre level were ambushed one after another, and several of the squads were completely annihilated, and the escort team of the head of Zero was also intercepted by the Japanese spies and the devil puppet army in turn, and suffered heavy casualties!

Seven people have been killed in the entire team, and four people have lost contact with the leader of Zero near the Gaolin area, asking the Jindong detachment to mobilize all forces to find, respond and support!

Seeing this information, Zhang Ran only felt like falling into an ice cave, and said in his heart that he was afraid of something!

"Why is this time of the year!"

Seeing this information, Kang Ting, Wang Lao, Shi Yuan and others were also anxious to stomp their feet.

Now that the crops are about to be harvested, this is the last chance to stock up on food and supplies in the base areas and the guerrilla areas controlled by the detachment!

The detachment and guerrillas are now going all out to prepare for the autumn offensive launched by the little devils to grab food from the common people - only when the detachments and guerrillas block the offensive of the little devils will it be possible for the villagers to take advantage of this last bumper harvest to reserve more grain to cope with the next difficult situation, and it is possible to survive this may be the most difficult period in the history of the base areas behind enemy lines!

Originally, the detachment was well prepared!

Countless hand-cranked harvesters were manufactured and distributed, and the ammunition was also fully prepared, and even the towed mobile artillery modified from the tank gun dismantled from the little devil's tank was produced under the overtime of Xu Kunjun and others......

Everyone was originally full of confidence, and felt that as long as the little devil dared to come, the detachment would be sure to do it, and they cried dad and called mother!

But this happened at this juncture......

"I immediately contacted Captain Su and Instructor Yang of the Gaolin Guerrilla Army, and asked them to dispatch manpower and rush to the relevant area to respond!"

Kang Ting shouted, and Li Dakou also said: "Qingping, the Yangquan area is closer to the Gaolin area, we can try to let Captain Sun and Captain Tu also send some people over to pick them up...... Even if Captain Sun and Captain Tu still want to concentrate on dealing with the autumn offensive, I believe that as long as the captain you speak, two or three hundred people, they can still be drawn out......"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Ran slapped the table and shouted: "Immediately contact Yang Quanlin, the Gaolin guerrillas will set off immediately, conduct a carpet search of the relevant area, and no matter what, we must find the zero leader - send a report to Sun Hongzhong, let him and Lao Tu's guerrillas all set off immediately, and there must be no mistake in going to the Gaolin area!" ”

After arranging these, considering that it was too late to send troops from the base area, Zhang Ran turned back to Jia Quantao and said: "Old Jia, gather the cavalry team for me immediately, I will give you half an hour, and after half an hour, join me and rush to Gaolin ......."

"Captain, are you crazy?"

Hearing this series of orders, not only Kang Ting, Wang Lao, Gui Shiyuan and other generals, but even Wang Changtian and Lu Yan jumped up anxiously!

In the past, such troop movements were normal.

But that's not the case anymore!

Because of the fall of Pingtongguan, the devils built a large number of pillboxes in the guerrilla areas, which not only greatly compressed the living space of the guerrilla areas, but also cut the territory of the guerrilla zones apart......

Whether it is Tu Jinjun's guerrillas of Sun Hongzhong, or the guerrillas led by Yang Quanlin in Gaolin area, the area of activity is more concentrated in mountainous and hilly areas!

Such a large-scale dispatch of troops is simply to completely abandon the advantage of the guerrillas being familiar with the terrain and drill into the net of the little devils themselves, which is almost not much different from sending them to death!

And that's just one of them!

Second, the local people will be completely deprived of the protection of the guerrillas, and in the next autumn offensive launched by the little devils, there will be no more troops standing behind them to support them, and I am afraid that most of the food they have worked so hard to grow will be snatched away by the little devils......

Such losses are almost unbearable for the detachments and partisans!

"Even if the Gaolin guerrillas don't have enough manpower, it's enough to let Captain Sun and them over, as for sending Lao Tu and them over, right? At the very least, Captain, you can't go over by yourself anyway......"

As soon as the people were in a hurry, Kang Ting even said that if Zhang Ran was really not at ease, then he could go over for him!

"This is an order, execute it immediately!"

Zhang Ran roared, he saw the incomprehension and disappointment in everyone's eyes.

He understands what everyone feels about!

After all, the guerrillas that Sun Hongzhong Tu marched into now were the two best-developed guerrilla teams under the command of the detachment, each with nearly 1,000 men and horses - they were sure that if Tu Jinjun and Sun Hongzhong really carried out Zhang Ran's plan and led the guerrillas through the layers of the little devil's blockade line into the Gaolin area, then at least more than half of them would lose their lives on the march......

And that's just the direct loss.

Not counting the serious consequences of the disappointment of being abandoned and betrayed, not counting the fact that these villagers will lose even the last chance to store food for the winter, how many villagers will die of starvation under the brutal blockade of the base areas behind enemy lines by the little devils in the future......

Therefore, they could not understand whether it was worth it for the sake of a leader of the organization whose life and death were still uncertain, and the detachment had to pay such a heavy price, which would even shake the foundation of the detachment's existence!

It's just that Zhang Ran knows that it's all worth it!

No matter how well the Jindong base area develops under its leadership, the influence of the detachment will always be limited - just like now, the detachment has done its best, but the scope of the detachment's help is more limited to the periphery of this base area, and the impact on the rest of the base areas behind enemy lines is not too great......

Although because of the existence of the detachment, the ammunition situation in each base area has improved significantly compared with history, and the number of devils killed in fighting with devils has increased a lot compared with the original history, and the strength of the little devils has also suffered a lot of blows because of this......

But it didn't work!

The most basic course of this war is still going on along its original trajectory!

In the vast majority of battlefields, the little devils are still showing off their might everywhere, burning, killing, looting and looting unscrupulously, while the soldiers of our army are still passively beaten!

Without itself in history, this country and this nation still won this war, although it was quite aggrieved and quite tragic, but it was won in the end!

So Zhang Ran knows that without himself, without his own Jindong base, this is nothing!

But that one is different!

He almost single-handedly dragged the country out of turmoil and pushed the country into the fast lane of development!

Zhang Ran couldn't imagine that if something happened to him, would the beautiful era that he had experienced when the vast majority of people could live happily, and the era when the vast majority of compatriots could be proud of their motherland from the bottom of their hearts, would definitely appear......

Therefore, Zhang Ran must save him!

At this point, he did not dare to take the slightest risk!

Not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, even if it costs the entire base area, he will not hesitate to do it!

"I know you don't understand, and I don't expect you to understand, but I'm sure if any of you can live long enough, you'll understand why I decided to do it today!"

Zhang Ran's gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and he insisted on ordering: "Tell Su Xing, Yang Quanlin, Sun Hongzhong, Tu Jinjun, all the troops, carry out the order at full speed, this rescue, in no particular order, whoever can meet the zero leader first will respond first, and the rest of the team, before receiving the zero leader is completely safe, no matter how much it costs, I must continue to move to the rescue area until the last person ......."

"This rescue plan is called the saturation rescue plan!"
