Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan's finger clicked on a point on the map: "The next move, in fact, your brother doesn't need to think too much." Our goal for tonight's action is to choose here. However, in terms of tactical deployment, it can't be as follows last night, and there must be certain changes. ”

Seeing that the location of Li Ziyuan's finger was still the Nanguan Freight Yard, He Sanliang couldn't help but be taken aback: "Detachment leader, didn't you send us to the devil's nest?" We just hit the Nanguan Freight Yard last night, and the devils will definitely strengthen the defense there. You're going to hit the Nanguan Freight Yard tonight, I'm worried that the devil will definitely make a move. ”

He Sanliang was worried, but Li Ziyuan smiled and said: "Old He, soldiers are not tired of cheating, presumably your brother is also clear when he reads military books." Back then, we once ambushed two Japanese convoys on a highway and took advantage of the mentality that the Japanese soldiers were accustomed to after being beaten. This time, for us, we can also use the mentality of the Japanese army to engage him once. ”

"I don't think there is anything else to defend except food, and the Japanese army will not be mobilizing a large number of its own troops to defend it. We are doing it once in the Nanguan Freight Yard, and we are pressurizing them to send the grain out as soon as possible. We can't always spend it here in Changzhi, so we still have to think of a way. ”

Li Ziyuan's train of thought, He Sanliang pondered for a while and said, "Detachment leader, your idea is good. But we have to think about how the Japanese army might react after the attack. If the Changzhi Independent Battalion does not cooperate, our battle will not even be considered to be overstretched in terms of the use of troops. ”

"The guy we stabbed last night, no matter how the deployment of the Japanese puppet army in the Nanguan freight yard is adjusted. However, the Japanese army in Changzhi City is bound to enter a state of defense. The Japanese puppet army around Changzhi City will also rush over to reinforce as soon as we start. The kind of sneak attack that last night had no reserves and emergency forces is no longer possible tonight. ”

He Sanliang's thoughts, but Li Ziyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely contribute this time." With us with them, they will never sit idly by. After all, everyone has something to ask for each other now, not to mention that they have more places to ask me. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at the sky and saw that it was gradually darkening, turned his head and said to the correspondent beside him: "You go and see if the sub-division has called back, and invite the battalion commander and political commissar of the Changzhi Independent Battalion over." Well, let's just say that I have a good thing to discuss with them here. If this can be done, their dilemma can be solved once and for all. ”

It's just that when the correspondent left, the two military and political chiefs of the Changzhi Independent Battalion over there had already come over. Li Ziyuan's words to the correspondent fell into their ears at all. Hearing that Li Ziyuan could solve his predicament, after the two of them glanced at each other, their expressions were quite cautious.

Although the two of them didn't know what Li Ziyuan's plan was, they also knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and Li Ziyuan would definitely not have anything good to take the initiative to find himself. However, both of them still wanted to hear what the guy in front of them had in his stomach.

Seeing that these two arrived uninvited, Li Ziyuan motioned to the correspondent to see what reply there was from the radio station. dragged the two of them to the map, pointed to the map and said, "We plan to continue to go to the periphery of Changzhi today to touch them." However, we have already taken a break yesterday, and we still need to be cautious in today's actions. ”

"I mean, my unit is in charge of operations in the Nanguan direction. Including interdiction and attack, it is all undertaken by our troops. However, we need your cooperation. The main thing is to be responsible for the guard behind us and on both flanks, and to serve as our reserves, especially in the direction of Dongguan on our flanks. And with a force, launched a diversion attack on the railway station. ”

"As long as you can participate in this battle, I promise that no matter how many weapons and ammunition we capture, not a single bullet will be left behind, and all will be handed over to you. Changzhi is your territory, your news is better than mine, I think the current situation of Nanguan Freight Yard is already in your hands. ”

"The puppet army is our source of equipment replenishment, and if we kill them, we can claim the weapons in their hands, and they can be regarded as making a little contribution to us. I think if I give you all these weapons, your current predicament will be solved. Especially in the case of hard bones, which are all gnawed by us. ”

Li Ziyuan threw out the bait in his hand, but the two of them did not answer immediately. But after being silent for a long time, the battalion commander spoke: "Lao Li, are you sure you still fight the Nanguan Freight Yard?" Do you know that in the battle last night, the devil mobilized two squadrons from the periphery of Changzhi today to rush back to Changzhi City. ”

"And judging from the information we received this afternoon, the Japanese army was transferred to the Nanguan Freight Yard to take over the defense of the Japanese army, but it was the most hardcore iron-blooded force in the Changzhi puppet army. This so-called iron-blooded force was formed by the devils with a lot of effort after you hit the airport last time. ”

"Although the number of troops is not much, there are only more than 200 people, but all of them are hardcore traitors. In terms of equipment, it is definitely the only part of the Japanese puppet army around Changzhi City, and they are all Japanese weapons. In addition to a Type 92 heavy machine gun, there were also three crooked-handled light machine guns, three grenadiers, all rifles were 38 rifles, and the pistols were all serious Spanish-made box guns. ”

"This puppet army caused us a lot of trouble and casualties during two consecutive sweeps in the spring and summer of this year. The military sub-district has organized several of our independent battalions on several occasions, looking for opportunities to eat them completely, but they have not been able to succeed. They were all personally trained and mastered by the Japanese army, and they were led and commanded by a lieutenant of the 36th Division. ”

"Several squad leaders are basically Japanese retired soldiers. This puppet army is not only extremely combative, but also desperately dedicated to the Japanese. In addition, the weapons are excellent, and the offensive and defensive capabilities are quite good. Dare to go to the room to play firepower, dare to fight with us bayonets. Even if we were pressed to the ground, they were still fighting with us. ”

"It's not the ambition of others, to be honest, our Changzhi independent battalion, one-on-one competition with them is not their opponent. It's not just a matter of weaponry, we are not an opponent at a tactical level. This is the first time I have seen the strength of this puppet army. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the average soldier is Chinese and wears pseudo-military uniforms. Judging from the tactical movements and equipment of this puppet army, most people will think that it is the Japanese army. The salary of this puppet army is twice that of the ordinary puppet army, and other materials are also given priority to supply, and it can even be said that they basically enjoy the same treatment as the Japanese army. ”

"The devil is now transferring them to the Nanguan freight yard as the main backbone of the garrison yard, and all of them have been transferred, I think the devil is definitely not simply increasing defense, and the devil may not have other articles to do. Lao Li, I suggest that it is better to be cautious in this attack. ”

"There are many ways to lure the snake out of the hole, and I advise you not to fight this puppet army. What's more, they also have a well-equipped pseudo-plainclothes team in Changzhi City. As for those pseudo-armed police, it doesn't matter if they have it or not, it's just a tie-in. ”

"Lao Li, you used to attack their main opponent at the beginning, I am worried that if you don't fight the snake, you will hurt yourself. Once we are stuck by them, and wait until the main force of the Japanese puppet army in Changzhi City turns around to outflank us, then we may be passive. It can't be like last night tonight, let's beat the devil and smoke the cold. ”

The words of the commander of the Changzhi Independent Battalion not only did not dispel Li Ziyuan's thoughts, but made Li Ziyuan even more determined, and tonight he will still fight the Nanguan Freight Yard. Even if you can't solve this so-called iron-blooded army, at least you have to cripple them. Moreover, by fighting such a puppet army, the Japanese army's reinforcement speed can be faster, and the Japanese army can be beaten more painfully.

didn't expect his kindness to arouse Li Ziyuan's greater interest. Looking at the battalion commander of the brother unit with a somewhat unpleasant face, Li Ziyuan said with a smile: "Brother, if you don't force the devils to be anxious, how can they transport the grain away smoothly?" Besides, such good equipment is left for those garbage to beat us, can you see the past as a man? ”

"Beat them once, especially those traitors who are desperate for the devil, and completely hurt them. Let them know that the salaries they receive from the devils that are stained with the blood of the Chinese are not so easy to spend. Grandma's, it's the first time I've seen such a desperate puppet army. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan turned his head to look at the battalion commander and political commissar of the Changzhi Independent Battalion and said, "How about it, do it or not, give a happy word." If you do, we will hand over to you all the weapons and ammunition we have seized without taking a single bullet. If we don't, we'll do it ourselves. ”

"But don't you want to leave from me without a single hair, is there a truth in this world that you can eat for nothing if you don't work? Let me make it clear to both of you that it would be more beneficial for you to defeat this iron-blooded army tonight. There's not much time, I'll give you five minutes to think about it. ”

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, he turned his head to find his correspondent to see why the guy hadn't come back yet, and left these two here to consider. When Li Ziyuan arrived at the radio station, he saw that the operator was busy translating a telegram, and his correspondent was waiting quietly on the side.

Seeing Li Ziyuan arrive, the telegraph operator quickly finished translating the telegram in his hand, and handed over this and the two telegrams he had received before to Li Ziyuan. Li Ziyuan took the three telegrams, read them roughly, and then handed them back to the operator. He walked under a large tree and sat down with his eyes closed and considered the contents of the telegram.

These three telegrams were sent by the military sub-district in succession within half an hour. Two of them were forwarded telegrams from the military district, and one was sent by the military division to itself. On the two telegrams from the military region that were forwarded, it was clearly told that Li Ziyuan had begun to retreat one after another by sweeping the Japanese puppet army in the core area of Taihang today.

The military region demanded that all units closely grasp the retreat route and direction of the Japanese puppet army and report it to the headquarters organs in a timely manner. In addition, the military region demanded that all units must not relax their vigilance when the Japanese puppet army retreats, and must pay attention to strictly preventing the Japanese puppet army from killing back the horse gun. In particular, the Ludong Army Division, which was not swept by the Japanese puppet army this time, must be strictly guarded and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese puppet army.

In the reply from the military division, Li Ziyuan was asked to meet the requirements of the brother troops as much as possible if possible. But Li Ziyuan is also required to pay attention to the speed of the Japanese puppet army's return to defense. Pay close attention to your own back, and once there is a major change in the puppet army of Changzhi Japan, you will immediately withdraw to the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei.
