"Commander, are we going forward?"

When they arrived at Muniang Mountain, the 424th Regiment stopped. Ahead is a stretch of plains, about five kilometers away. But it was the road of about five kilometers that made Yue Siliang, Wang Shuangyin and others hesitate. For no other reason, this plain is quite vast, only a few kilometers longitudinally, but nearly twenty kilometers laterally, and no matter which direction they start from Mu Niang Mountain, they will have a long way to go.

"Don't worry, let's ask the brigade commander how the situation is."

Yue Siliang was not too impatient, but asked Cheng Fei to ask the brigade commander for instructions first.

……

"Regiment commander, this is a message from the brigade headquarters."

Half an hour later, Cheng Fei handed over the news of the brigade headquarters to Yue Siliang. The brigade commander didn't say much, but clearly said that he wanted him to carry out the original plan and break through.

The brigade commander said in the telegram that the 424th Regiment should break through, but Yue Siliang hesitated. Now the Muniang Mountain where they are located is only a dozen kilometers away from the Baima area where the battle with the Japanese army is organized, and on the side of Muniang Mountain, Yue Siliang can hear the sound of gunfire faintly coming from there, and it is conceivable that the pressure on the brigade commander's side will not be small.

The plain area in front of Mu Niang Mountain is fan-shaped, standing in the Mu Niang Mountain, you can see very clearly under the mountain, and the field of vision is very broad. At the foot of the mountain is a large road that runs between the Hakuba area and the activity area of the 424th Regiment, but this road also runs through the north and south.

"Captain! You see, there are troops of devils! ”

At this moment, Lei Zi snorted lightly and motioned for Yue Siliang to look down the mountain.

"Be careful!"

After everyone was lying on the mountain, Yue Siliang gently poked his head out and looked down. Along the main road down the mountain, a group of devils is heading in the direction of the Hakuba area.

"Commander, look ......"

Wang Shuangyin's face changed, and he was halfway through his words.

"Taiyuan is lost, and the devils can now be said to occupy the center of Shanxi, and also hold the transportation network of Shanxi, and now they are much more relaxed in both troop deployment and combat. The Japanese army, which was in the midst of a great victory, could be said to be very vicious, and in such a situation...... Organize to help us break through and fight the enemy......"

When Yue Siliang said this, he couldn't help but look gloomy. In the overall downturn, a little victory can be even more fatal, and it now seems that in a sense, you are completely causing problems for the organization.

In the telegram just now, although the brigade commander did not say it explicitly, Yue Siliang could think of what kind of pressure he would face in the Baima area and the Taihuai area. Every minute, there will be comrades of fraternal units who are suffering casualties for their own breakthrough.

"Cheng Fei, report to the brigade commander. Our unit has decided to break through in the early morning of tomorrow morning, and we ask our brother troops to suspend the attack on the enemy and retain their strength. ”

……

Brigade headquarters, Brigade Commander Yuanqing was stunned at that time after receiving Yue Siliang's request.

"This Yue Siliang, his heart is really full of holes...... When do I need him to worry about me! ”

Although that is said, the brigade commander of the Yuan Qing Dynasty did withdraw the team, and it is really not a way to attack hard like now, so it is better to withdraw the troops now, of course, before withdrawing the team, the brigade commander naturally made a report with the deputy division commander, and after the report was completed, Baima and Taihuai also stopped the exchange of fire one after another.

"Commander, listen, there is indeed a ceasefire on the brigade commander's side."

Wang Shuangyin said with some excitement, he didn't expect that Yue Siliang and the brigade commander would really be so effective when they talked. He said that he hoped to break through in the early morning, and the brigade commander quickly cooperated.

"Heh, we're old friends with the brigade commander. In this kind of matter, the brigade commander is still willing to listen to the advice. We can't disrupt the organization's strategic arrangements just because of our regiment. The military region has just been established, and many things have not yet been rolled out, if we make such a mess and let the boss and their layout be stillborn, then we will become sinners for the ages. ”

Listening to Yue Siliang's extremely serious tone, Di Hanming felt a different smell, he bumped Yue Siliang's shoulder, called him aside and looked at him solemnly.

"Regiment commander, you tell me the truth, are you planning to break through without following the orders of the brigade commander?!"

Facing Di Hanming's questioning, Yue Siliang immediately raised his hand and motioned for him to lower his voice.

"Commissar, what are you yelling about. Let the fighters hear that there should be psychological pressure! When did I say I wouldn't break out? ”

For Yue Siliang's way of speaking with thin mud, Di Hanming had long been accustomed to it, how could he eat him.

"Don't be sloppy with me! What I'm asking is if you're planning to disobey orders? As you said yourself, this time to help our group break through is taking risks in itself, so you can't mess around. Others don't know you, but I know you Yue Siliang, and you have always loved to worry about the chief! ”

Having said this, Yue Siliang knew that he couldn't hide it from Di Hanming anymore.

"So far, the possibilities are on my radar. The First War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is only the beginning today, and we cannot drag down our entire brigade or even the entire military region just because of one of our regiments.

The reason why I suggested that the brigade commander cease fire first and wait for us to break through in the early hours of tomorrow morning is to minimize the losses of this breakthrough, and it can be regarded as my all-out fight on the premise of carrying out the order!

The enemy is not easy to deal with, what we can think of, the devil can also think of, and if the plan wants to succeed, we can't hope that the enemy is stupid.

Since we set off from Lingqiu, Sasaki United has been hanging behind, they may not know our specific location, but as soon as we show our heads, we can imagine that they will bite immediately! A mobile force of more than 3,000 devils, how do you let us get rid of it? Is it to fill it with the lives of our whole group? Or fill it with the lives of comrades from other regiments in the brigade?! ”

Yue Siliang's questioning can be said to be word for word, Di Hanming's mouth moved twice, and in the end he didn't refute anything, he couldn't find anything to refute Yue Siliang's words.

"If you can break through with the least amount of damage as planned, that's the best. Until now, I have hoped for the success of the plan the most, and no one wants to see any extraneous branches. ”

Saying this, Yue Siliang pulled Di Hanming back to the team, looking at the devils who were gradually retreating under the mountain.

It was getting dark, but the devil didn't leave. A few kilometers away, the devils pulled up a cordon. On the main road down the mountain, the devil mobilized motorcycles and trucks to patrol back and forth, and at the same time turned on the headlights to shoot the light far away, creating long pillars of light in the night sky.

"You have all seen it, the devil really looks up to our regiment too much, for such a regiment like ours, such a big battle has been created, I am afraid that it is inevitable for our regiment devils.

And the devil is very cautious, in order to prevent us from attacking at night, he got so many searchlights. It's just that the devil didn't expect that we didn't choose to break through at night, but chose the early morning when it was most likely to make people tired. ”

……

Mu Niang Mountain is east of it, about fifteen kilometers away in a straight line, at the foot of Luyang Mountain, the temporary camp of the Sasaki United.

Sasaki was very tricky in choosing the location of the camp for the troops, which was at the intersection of three main roads, the road to the east was the road back to Lingqiu, and the two roads to the northwest and southwest could be connected to the main road leading to the Hakuba area. He had judged that the 424th Regiment had moved to a radius of more than ten kilometers. Staying here means that as soon as the 424th Regiment appears in the plains, he can rush over as fast as possible!

"Wing Commander, we just caught a radio signal. Through analysis, it can almost be concluded that this is a signal sent by the Eighth Route Army when it uses radio to communicate, and the location of the signal is the scope of our previous suspicions. It's a pity that we didn't analyze the specific location of the 424th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

After receiving such a report, Sasaki smiled soothing on his face and sat down casually.

"That's enough, as long as it proves that my guess is not wrong, the eight roads will definitely not be able to escape. I've worked hard for you now, and now you can go and rest. ”

Sasaki looked like he was holding a chi-bead, and turned his head to Assistant Kato beside him.

"The route of the Eighth Road is quite hidden, but unfortunately they were caught by me. I just don't know what they're going to do next and what kind of way they're going to meet me. ”
