Chapter 616: Shock

Li Ziyuan, who also knew that Luofengling was not a place to stay for a long time, commanded the troops to clean up the battlefield. Carrying the captured weapons and equipment, the captives quickly retreated to the Jiuding Mountains. After retreating to Jiuding Mountain, Li Ziyuan handed over the captives to Qian Peng to receive political education in order to completely change his thinking.

In fact, Li Ziyuan still takes a fancy to this batch of captives, which have a total number of thousands of captives. Although these captives were all from the puppet army, they were all fully trained soldiers. As long as they can change their thinking, correctly understand the harm caused to the motherland and the people by defecting to the enemy for the sake of that little military salary, and be willing to change their minds and become a new person.

After training, they should all be good fighters. After all, didn't both He Huizhang and Zhou Tong ever be puppet soldiers? Isn't it the same good performance on the battlefield? Even the two of them have become the backbone of the troops. Without these two people, can you still get artillery there?

However, although he attaches great importance to the education and transformation of these captives, Li Ziyuan has no interest in personally educating these captives. For him, political work has always been to hide as far as he can, except when necessary, and he doesn't want to be that mother-in-law.

And Li Ziyuan thinks that with Qian Peng's mouth, he can speak well, although he is slightly worse than Ma Yongcheng, but his eloquence is at least much stronger than himself. These prisoners can still be allowed to cry bitterly and regret how much harm they have brought to the motherland and the people by being a puppet army. Will sincerely repent, and complete the transformation and sublimation of thoughts in the first time.

Therefore, leaving this matter to Qian Peng, Li Ziyuan is still very relieved. He himself set up a radio station and kept in touch with the military districts and military divisions. Even after Qian Peng received this task, he obviously felt that his head was bigger, and his face became ugly.

But Li Ziyuan's performance of this guy was not seen by the right. And in order to cooperate with his work, Li Ziyuan gave him all the political workers he had on hand. He also borrowed a few political workers from the political department of the sub-district in Jiuding Mountain to assist him in his work. Li Ziyuan, who thinks that he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, became the shopkeeper.

Now for Li Ziyuan, getting in touch with his superiors as soon as possible is the most important thing he should do. One is what kind of chain reaction will be triggered by his battle in Luofengling, and what kind of changes will occur in the surrounding enemy situation, which is what Li Ziyuan is most eager to grasp.

The surrounding enemy troops were frightened by the killing of chickens and monkeys, so they retreated back to their lair. After being stimulated, the efficiency and intensity of the action were accelerated. For Li Ziyuan, these changes are what he is most eager to master. There is no way, the personnel on the wall here in Jiuding Mountain are too important. The movements of the surrounding Japanese puppet army are of great importance to the Jiuding Mountains.

On the other hand, he also needs to ask for instructions on the next step. After the First Battle of Luofengling, the task assigned to him by the military region to attract two divisions of Wang's puppet Second Front Army can be said to have been completed. The combat strength of the puppet 50th Division is only half of it, and now it is trapped in the mountainous area in the north of Hubei, and it does not dare to move even half a step.

As for the puppet 38th Division, it is estimated that the remaining points have lost all the remnants of the defeated army that can lose things, and even running back now will not have any impact on the entire intentions of the superiors. It can be said that up to now, the tasks assigned to him by his superiors can basically be said to have been overfulfilled.

Although Li Ziyuan, who has not closed his eyes for four consecutive days, can be described as quite tired. But before the surrounding battle situation was fully mastered, he did not dare to rest. Especially at present, more than half of the troops have suffered casualties, and only a complete formed company remains. The rest of the troops, despite their downsizing, could barely scrape together a reinforced company and two fully formed platoons.

The regimental direct subordinate team is complete, but the direct subordinate unit is an engineer company that has not yet completed its formation and training, as well as some non-combat direct subordinate units such as communication platoons. The artillery company has always been overstaffed, but the problem is that Li Ziyuan's head has not entered the water, so he uses the artillery like a baby pimple as an infantry.

There are only a few combat troops, but at present, there are tens of thousands of villagers in the Jiuding Mountains, as well as a large number of local cadres of the prefectural party committees and non-combat departments of the sub-districts. In this case, the enemy situation is unknown, where does he Li Ziyuan dare to rest? To be honest, when he first saw the number of people in Jiuding Mountain, Li Ziyuan was taken aback.

He did not expect that there would be so many local cadres and personnel of the non-combat divisions who were transferred here alone. But the problem is that the problem is frightened, but the problem still has to be solved. These people are the foundation for the survival and development of the region, and once they are lost, they will be irreparable.

After retreating to Jiuding Mountain, Li Ziyuan not only felt that the burden was lighter, but felt heavier, which was also the most important reason why he was in a hurry to contact the sub-district. After all, these people are non-combatants, not only unarmed, but also not even militarily trained.

Fortunately, the military sub-district did not get in touch for a while, but the radio station that Li Ziyuan kept calling was directly connected to the military region. Because Li Ziyuan was ordered to camouflage the main force of the division, attract the main forces of the surrounding enemy forces, and cover the deployment of the main forces of the division and the military region. Therefore, the sub-district is strengthening the radio station given to him, and he uses the call sign of the sub-district to send and receive telegrams to the outside world.

On the contrary, it is another radio station carried by the military sub-district itself, and in accordance with the unified deployment of the higher authorities, it basically only receives and does not transmit it. And this is well known to the military district. Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Ziyuan did not contact the military sub-district, but contacted the military region.

In terms of being able to make direct contact with the military region, Li Ziyuan can almost be said to be ecstatic. I immediately reported the situation on my side and asked for instructions on the next course of action. After confirming the identity of Li Ziyuan's department, the chief of staff of the division, who is now the commander of the military region, personally drafted a telegram back to Li Ziyuan to report on the battle situation on the main force of the military region that was fighting in Gaoping in the south.

Just when Li Ziyuan's department was in Luofengling, fighting fiercely with the puppet 38th Division. The military region used the main force of Wang's puppet Second Front Army to be firmly pinned down by Li Ziyuan in the Ludong Mountains, leaving a large defensive gap behind him. The 17 main regiments and the local armed forces launched an external operation against the rear of Wang's puppet Second Front Army and attacked on all fronts.

When Li Ziyuan was in a hurry to get in touch with his superiors, the main force had already successfully completed the external attack. Under the cover of the local armed forces in southern Jinnan, the troops participating in the military region captured Gaoping, where the headquarters of Wang's puppet Second Front Army was stationed, and annihilated a division of Wang's puppet Second Front Army and a special service regiment and teaching regiment of the headquarters.

During this battle, the main force of the military region not only solved the headquarters of Wang's puppet Second Front Army, but also captured the chief of staff of the department. If it weren't for their boss, he would have escaped by supervising the battle in Changzhi City at this time. It is estimated that the entire high-level command system of the puppet Second Front Army will also be wiped out.

The main forces of the military region captured a lot in this battle, not only capturing a large number of weapons and ammunition. The most important thing is that it also captured the puppet army, the arsenal set up in Gaoping, and seized all the machinery and equipment, and captured all the technicians and workers. As for weapons and ammunition, they were seized.

At present, the main force of the military region is rapidly returning to Ludong, preparing to outflank the two puppet army divisions that have entered the Ludong area, and is now behind a puppet army division in Huguan. It is necessary to expand the scale of the campaign and achieve greater results, so as to completely cut off the threat posed by this Wang puppet Second Front Army to the Taihang base area.

At the same time, the military region also briefed Li Ziyuan on the current changes in the enemy situation in the entire Ludong area. The Japanese puppet army on the northern front was blocked by the troops of the 1st Division and the troops directly under the Military Region in the hilly area at the junction of Ludong and the Jinzhong Basin. Among the Japanese puppet army, the garrisons of several counties in the puppet Jinzhong area, which are the main force, are not strong in equipment and combat effectiveness.

Although there was a Japanese army to supervise and cooperate, the number of puppet troops in this department was also the largest among the Japanese puppet armies. However, the number of Japanese troops who fought with the puppet army of the unit was not many. There were only three infantry squadrons, as well as two artillery squadrons. In addition to a few mortars, the puppet army did not have artillery such as mountain artillery.

The Japanese puppet army of this unit was blocked and pinned down by the troops of the first division under the unified command of the commander of the first division and the reinforced units directly under the military region. The 1st Division of the 2nd Division has now advanced to the flank of the Japanese puppet army of the Division, preparing to launch a counterattack with the troops of the 1st Division.

In the main battlefield of Ludong, where Li Ziyuan was located, the puppet security independent division on the western front and the two puppet armies of the Ludong garrison wing were also in the fierce battle of the three divisions reinforced by the Ludong Army Division. Although the puppet army of this unit is not enterprising, its combat effectiveness is also quite low. However, the Japanese troops who cooperated with the unit moved quickly and attacked fiercely.

The military region informed Li Ziyuan's headquarters in a telegram that it was necessary to pay attention to the changes in the enemy on the Western Front. However, the two regiments of the main force of the military district had already moved north, and were making a detour to the enemy's flank on the western front. The first section of the Taiyue Military Region is also advancing eastward, preparing to enter the Changzhi Basin for activities, and strive to transfer back the Japanese troops in the Japanese puppet army of this department.

The latest order given to Li Ziyuan by the military region was very simple, that is, he was ordered to use the tactics of movement warfare and guerrilla warfare to make every effort to contain the two puppet army divisions attacking on the southern front. It could not be allowed to turn around and return to the Gaoping battlefield, nor could it be allowed to cooperate or converge with the enemy on the Western Front, waiting for the arrival of the main force.

After receiving the report on the battle situation of the military region and the latest order, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. At this time, the main force of the military region returned to the division and headed north, and it was estimated that the original operational goal could not be achieved. And there is no need for the military district to fulfill this order for itself. At least the pseudo-38th Division, you don't have to worry about it from your superiors or yourself.

Considering that the main force of the military region cannot be allowed to run empty, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the latest task assigned to him by his superiors is no longer able to be completed by himself. Li Ziyuan made a detailed report to the military region on his experience and results in this operation.

In the case that there has been no contact with the sub-district, Li Ziyuan can only overstep his authority and once again ask the military region for instructions on the next move.

After receiving Li Ziyuan's report, the call back from the military region did not arrive until a long time later. Obviously, after receiving Li Ziyuan's report, the military region was somewhat unbelievable.

After all, Li Ziyuan is too far behind the Japanese puppet army in terms of strength and equipment. Moreover, the real combat effectiveness of the puppet army of this department is also very clear to the superiors. The combat effectiveness of the puppet army, which knew that the unit had been formed into a formation and surrendered to the enemy, was far stronger than that of the other two puppet armies.

With such a small number of troops, he Li Ziyuan actually defeated the main force of the puppet 38th Division with the cooperation of a brigade of the Japanese army. Even if only two regiments of the division participated in the first battle of Luofengling, the total strength of the Japanese army participating in the battle was only three squadrons, but this was enough to shock the superiors.
