At the tip of the yellow cliff, I watched the Japanese army cross the Lingqiu boundary in embarrassment and enter the territory of Guangling. Yue Siliang's face couldn't help but turn red, and his chest also fell together, which showed that his emotions were extremely excited.

What bushido? What indomitable will? The Japanese are also human beings, they also know fear, and they will run away too!

"The Japanese army has been driven out of Lingqiu by us."

Standing beside Yue Siliang, Di Hanming said in disbelief. Yue Siliang nodded heavily on the side, this battle was too sudden, so that he was still a little blind.

"Report to the brigade commander, we ...... Capture Lingqiu City! ”

……

344th Brigade and Brigade Headquarters.

Brigade Commander Yuan Qing, who had already moved into the southeast with the boss and was studying the situation in front of him, received a report.

"Brigade commander, take a look, something is wrong!"

Hearing the report of the brigade cadres, the brigade commander of Yuan Qing curiously straightened up from the front of the map full of red and blue pencils. Brigade Commander Yuanqing took the telegram sent by the other party a little strangely.

"It turned out to be news from Chongzhi."

Looking at the number of the 424th Regiment on the newspaper head, Brigade Commander Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it seriously. After he finished reading the information on the report, the brigade commander silently pressed the telegram on the table, pursed the corners of his mouth and began to weigh the pros and cons.

"Brigade commander, are you doubting the authenticity of Comrade Yue Siliang's report? Eradication intelligence shows that there is a whole brigade of Japanese troops stationed in Lingqiu County. ”

At this moment, Brigade Commander Yuanqing tapped his fingers on the table violently, and his eyes burst with light.

"Call back to Yue Siliangbu immediately and ask him to sort out the details of this battle and hand it over!"

It was not that the brigade commander of Yuan Qing did not believe in the authenticity of Yue Siliang's telegram, but that he sensed the unusualness of this, since the beginning of the war against Japan, there had never been a precedent for retaking the occupied land from the Japanese army with roughly equal numbers.

But if this person is Yue Siliang, then it is not necessarily. For Yue Siliang, Brigade Commander Yuanqing gave him a one-word evaluation, that is, "and". On the battlefield, Yue Siliang Zhengqi complemented each other, and he never believed in a single method of warfare. If you can have some experience in commanding large-scale battles, then in time, you will definitely become a good general.

……

"Division commander, the 344th Brigade is calling!"

When the Yuanqing brigade commander had figured out the specific situation of Lingqiu, and sent the report to the division headquarters. The division commander was already alarmed by what was happening in the north.

"Is this already figured out? It's not slow, I was about to ask them. What's going on? The devils in the Lingqiu Guangling area suddenly moved so frequently? ”

asked like this, in fact, the division commander almost guessed seven seven or eight in his heart.

"The incident happened this morning, and the Xicun Brigade stationed in Lingqiu County suddenly dispatched all its troops, and the target was the 424th Regiment, which was responsible for opening up the base area behind the enemy in Lingqiu. However, in this game, the Japanese army did not find out the specific movements of the 424th Regiment.

At noon today, the main force of the 424th Regiment successfully recovered Lingqiu County. In the afternoon, the main force of the 424th Regiment cooperated with a battalion that had been besieged by the Xicun Brigade to conduct a field battle with the Japanese army in the area of Shangbeiwa, successfully defeating the opponent, and killing more than 300 Japanese soldiers before and after.

In the end, the remnants of the Xicun Brigade could only withdraw from Lingqiu and flee to the territory of Guangling. After joining up with the Guangling Japanese army, they originally planned to attack Lingqiu together, but in the end, for unknown reasons, the Japanese army all withdrew to Guangling City.

The following is a detailed report of Lingqiu's battle today. ”

After speaking, the cadre handed over the detailed report in his hand to the division commander.

“……

Good! What a Yue Chongzhi! What a Yue Siliang! ”

After sweeping the entire report at a glance and ten lines, the division commander praised it excitedly, and at the same time handed the report in his hand to the director beside him, asking the director and other cadres to circulate it.

"Comrade Yue Siliang is very decisive."

The director also made the following comment after a quick glance at the report.

"Ha, the director is so polite when he speaks, and he directly says that he is bold."

Teacher Yurong said with a smile that the director is such a strict and honest person, and he rarely makes bad comments about comrades, but the director is also very principled.

Hearing the teacher's teasing like this, the director first smiled, and then said with a straight face.

"What the division commander said is right, Comrade Yue Siliang is indeed bold. Although the result of this battle in the end was good, this cannot hide the fact that Comrade Si Liang left his post without permission before. As the commander of a regiment, the military commander. He went deep into the enemy's den with a platoon of guards like a chivalrous man.

I have reservations about this matter, but at the same time, I still appreciate Comrade Si Liang's courageous temperament, and it is the glorious tradition of our team to take the lead. In such a period, we need such bold comrades.

This situation like Comrade Yue Siliang's needs to be viewed in two parts, and we need to learn from the flexible tactics, but we also need to take warning from the mistakes in the process. I hope that Comrade Yue Siliang will write a check on some of his mistakes in this matter and hand it in. ”

As he spoke, the director pushed his eyes, and his expression was full of seriousness.

"The director is right, this Yue Siliang has to be beaten. A dignified regiment commander, what does it look like to be a commando to fight the county seat.

However, some of the tactics used by the 424th Regiment in this battle in Lingqiu County are indeed a bit interesting, and the raid tactics of small elite troops used by the guard platoon in the county town are very mature. It can be seen that this tactic was born from the tactics of our submachine guns and Mauser pistols used intensively during the Long March, but the 424th Regiment used them more quickly.

With a force of forty people, he defeated a security regiment with more than 100 people in a short period of time, and almost no damage to himself, this combat effectiveness should not be underestimated......"

When the division commander said this, the surrounding cadres all nodded and took pens to take notes. Zero casualties in exchange for a major rout of a security regiment is not something that every force can do.

"Yes, in the Battle of Pingxingguan, the task of the 424th Regiment was to hold the Xigou. In that battle, the guard platoon of the 424th Regiment played a crucial role. The concentrated precision strike of the flower machine gun was very effective. If there is such a strange army in the process of white-knuckle warfare, it will definitely be able to greatly reduce the casualties of comrades. ”

A staff officer of the division headquarters nodded his head in agreement and made corresponding additions, this staff officer was very interested in special assault tactics, and he had done his homework on weekdays.

"The special operations of small elite forces are indeed effective, but the difficulty of promotion is too great, and it cannot be done overnight. In order to train this guard platoon, the 424th Regiment invested quite a lot, and it has been focusing on training since the period of the 17th Regiment. Each fighter is equipped with a large number of bullets, and the food specifications and training content are very different from ordinary fighters. ”

Another staff officer took over the words of the staff officer just now.

"Therefore, compared with elite operations, I think the tactics and stabbing skills used by the 424th Regiment in positional warfare are more valuable and worth researching."

Although it is a hundred miles away from Lingqiu, the staff officer of the division headquarters said that the 424th Regiment was the leader. This is also the biggest advancement of the Eighth Route Army compared with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army. Taking the 115th Division as an example, for each of the following teams, the division headquarters was able to accurately grasp the situation and command smoothly.

"Well, that makes sense. Regarding the new positional tactics, before crossing the Yellow River, Yue Siliang and I made a detailed report. With my approval, he can experiment on the battlefield, and now it seems that the effect is not bad, and he can try to promote it. ”

After the division commander made a decision, he turned his head and whispered a few words to the director, and then he said again.

"Okay, let's go here for tactical analysis, and there's time for that. Next comes the business! Lingqiu is recovered, and the Japanese will definitely not give up. It's time to think about how to deal with it. ”

"Division commander, the 424th Regiment has recovered Lingqiu, should we expand the results of the battle? Just take Lingqiu as the center and take advantage of the situation to further open up the situation? ”

A staff officer said tentatively, but the division commander was noncommittal about this point of view.

"We have analyzed the tactics and battle process of the 424th Regiment before, and it can be said that this battle is simply dancing on the tip of the knife, and this battle is full of accidents and is almost impossible to replicate."

"Yes, in terms of the main battlefield, the Japanese army has already entered Taiyuan. Without frontal cooperation, no matter how beautiful the battlefield is fought behind enemy lines, it is of little significance. Personally, I don't think it is appropriate to change the policy of gradual transfer set by the division commander before. ”

The director expressed his opinion after some thought.

"Now the battle in Taiyuan City is fierce, and the Japanese army has no energy to deal with the changes in Lingqiu County. Only then did he retreat to Guangling and did not make a big move. But once the Japanese army breaks through Taiyuan, they will definitely turn back and attack Lingqiu.

Judging by the current situation, I'm afraid our friendly forces won't last long......"

Speaking of this, Division Commander Yurong sighed heavily, the first battle in Shanxi, it can't be said that the Jin Sui army didn't need to die, but it's a pity that the war is so full of regrets. Up to now, the direction of Taiyuan may not be able to return to the sky, and everyone can only stay in Qingshan.

"The 424th Regiment must be ready to withdraw from Lingqiu within three days!"
