Chapter 103: Battlefield Observation Group

While looking at the map and planning his next move, Li Ziyuan repeatedly warned himself to be calm. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. The current situation is too bad, and with the situation of the surrounding enemies unclear, we cannot make any hasty determination. At present, in addition to the abundance of ammunition and 'medicine,' the real combat effectiveness of the troops is still very weak.

Even with the addition of the dozen or so puppet soldiers anyway, the number of veterans is too small, and he definitely does not have the strength to fight hard with the Japanese army at the moment. Under the premise of facing the enemy's crazy retaliation, every decision you make may affect the survival of the troops, and even the fate of the entire army.

Li Ziyuan's fingers kept swimming on the map, and his mind was constantly recalling the distribution of the enemy situation introduced by Liu Yanlai. It's just that the district committee of the first district has never been able to get in touch, and he is still confused about the changes in the enemy's situation. This made Li Ziyuan still have a headache when choosing the direction of action.

After thinking about it, Li Ziyuan looked for Shi Jin and said: "Old Shi, we are always so blind that we can't 'touch' the elephant, and if we don't do it, we will get into the ambush circle of the devil." There are too many new recruits in the army now, and the combat effectiveness is still too far behind. Once we encounter the Japanese puppet army brigade here, we will be the unlucky ones at that time. This area is the territory of a district, and we still have to find a way to find a district committee. ”

"Old Shi, you have a certificate of good citizenship, and you are also an old pot north, so you are more familiar with the situation here. In this way, you go out and look for the district committee of the first district. Even if we can find a village government, it will be a good thing for us. This trip out, the soldiers in the army can be chosen by you, and you will take that one with you if you fancy it. But there's one thing, you have to get me back safely. ”

In fact, as early as when Li Ziyuan was looking for himself alone, Shi Jin guessed the reason. So for Li Ziyuan's words, Shi Jin was not surprised. After a slight hesitation, Shi Jin said: "Captain, I won't take anyone with me when I go by myself." If you take people there, it is easy to be exposed. ”

"I have a rough idea of where the district committee is currently active. At most, it is a little more difficult to find than the district committee of the third district, after all, I am not a cadre from the first district, and I do not know much about the activities of the district committee of the first district. It would be nice if Lao Guan was here, he had been a 'traffic' officer in the county party committee, and he would definitely be better than me. However, although I am not as good as Lao Guan, I don't know anything about it, and I still have some clues. ”

"It's just the captain, how can I find you when I come back after I find someone? This is not a place to stay for long, you will rest here for the night, and you will have to move tomorrow morning. Captain, before you were transferred to Hubei, you had been operating in the old base area, but don't underestimate the control of the Japanese puppet in this area. If you stay in one place for a long time, it is easy to be found by the Japanese puppet army. ”

Shi Jin's words made Li Ziyuan nod and said, "Old Shi, you are to the point." The transfer is a must, but I'm also having a headache and the next move is in that direction. We fought two battles in a row on the highway from Hubei to Pingchuan. Kamishiro Rakuai is probably looking for us like a madman right now. ”

"I estimate that this time, the Japanese puppet military and police in Hubei will have to be dispatched. And now we can't find a local government, supply is one thing, the key is that the enemy situation is basically a black eye. Before I found the first district committee, I didn't have a bottom in my heart to move in that direction. Old Shi, you are an old pot north, give me some advice. ”

Li Ziyuan's rhetorical question, Shi Jin also scratched his head a little. After hesitating for a long time, Shi Jincai said: "Captain, if you can't do it, you will temporarily withdraw to Ludong first." When the devil's madness has passed, you are withdrawing. This is not a face-saving matter, the safety of the troops comes first. ”

Shi Jin's opinion, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said: "Old Shi, I'm afraid Ludong won't be able to go now." The little devil is now estimated to have imposed a strict blockade on the 'junction' between Hubei and the surrounding counties. Including several passages back to the mountain, it is estimated that they have been blocked now. ”

"Although the situation in Ludong is better than ours, the county seat, several large market towns, and 'crossing' arteries are also strictly controlled by the Japanese puppet army. Since Luo Hekanshiro has already mobilized part of the garrison in Ludong this time, it is not too difficult to transfer some more. The Ludongji cadre camp doesn't know where to go now, and there is no way to contact them. ”

"According to my judgment, all the surrounding mountain counties are estimated to have blocked the passages into the mountains. No matter which direction we move in now, as long as we want to enter the mountain, we will fall into the net. Since we have reached the plains, we should try to think of a way here as much as possible. ”

"My idea is that we're going west for the time being. The search operation of the Japanese puppet army should be centered on the location of our ambush and search in all directions. I thought if I could, find a hidden spot around the county. If you find the district committee, go to the area around Hubei County, mainly in the north, to look for us. ”

"However, the area around Hubei County must be a key control area of the Japanese puppet. We can only wait for you there for two days, and if you don't come back after two days, we will move west depending on the situation. After the appointed time, if you find the district committee, you can temporarily join them in activities. If you can't find the district committee, you can go east to the old district, or go south to the third district to find Liu Yanlai. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan said in an aggravated tone: "Old Shi, you must pay attention to safety when you are alone when you are alone. If you can't find the district party committee for two days, you will go to Liu Yanlai or return to the old district. I'll bring you a little money, but if you can't do it, find a fortress to hide first. Remember, you only have two days, and if you can't find it, don't look for it again. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan's solemn face, listening to Li Ziyuan's repeated 'confessions', Shi Jin also nodded solemnly, took off the weapon on his body and 'handed it over' to Li Ziyuan, and said, "Captain, then I'll set off." Please rest assured, I will definitely find a way to find a district party committee within the stipulated time. ”

"Captain, you have to be careful. When we first set up an ambush, the truck full of officers in ambush was not easy for me. This time, so many officers were eliminated at once, and it would be strange for the little devils to look for us if they didn't go crazy. You must be careful when you transfer. If you can't do it, you can walk along the course of the Zhanghe River, so that the terrain is somewhat favorable. ”

Regarding Shi Jin's assurance, Li Ziyuan shook his head, but said quite stubbornly: "Old Shi, I won't say anything else, it's still the same sentence." If you can't find the district party committee within two days, don't look for it again, and immediately find a way to hide it. Your safety is more important to me than anything else. With you, Lao Tzu has a living map. Without you, I would have lost half of my arm. ”

Li Ziyuan's words, after listening to Shi Jin, nodded. Knowing that the situation was urgent, he didn't say anything more, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up a flat pole used by the troops to pick up the 'medicine', 'inserted' a sickle that never left his body into his waist, and quickly left the jujube forest as if he was doing farm work.

Looking at Shi Jin's back, Li Ziyuan groaned for a while, and then said to Qian Defu beside him: "Tell the troops to hurry up and rest, and we will move at midnight." As for where to go, I'll let you know when the time comes. Tell the troops not to smoke or light torches. ”

"When I was marching, I took a small team to open the way in front, and you took the rest of the veterans to finish in the rear, so you must not fall behind. At this time, falling behind is equivalent to being captured, and being captured is equivalent to losing. Your old money is a veteran, and there are some things that I don't need to say more. With that out of the way, you should know what to do. ”

"Also, when marching, tell everyone to do a good job of concealment, and everyone should wear a twig hat. I guess tomorrow morning, at dawn, the devils will send planes to look for us. So, we can't wait until tomorrow morning to go. Tell the troops to sleep for a few hours and we'll leave after midnight. The most important thing is that when the army is marching, it is not allowed to enter any village. ”

After finishing Qian Defu to arrange, Li Ziyuan leaned on a jujube tree a little tiredly, pulled out the fast and slow machine on his body, checked the bullets in the magazine, and connected it to the holster. The shell gun was 'pumped' out again, roughly wiped and reloaded the bullet before closing his eyes.

Qian Defu will take care of the sentinel's affairs, and the most important thing he needs to do now is to rest for a while, even if it is an hour, to ensure that his mind is always in a clear state. He didn't want to make some low-level mistakes in judgment because of over-fatigue of his brain.

It's just that Li Ziyuan's transfer action is fast, and the speed of Luo Hekanshiro's 'pumping' of troops to return to reinforcements is not slow. Just after Li Ziyuan entered the Heshun boundary in the north of Hubei County, Luo Hekanshiro personally commanded the first batch of mobile troops that were 'pumped' back and had arrived at the ambush site before Li Ziyuan. And to join up with the part of the troops under the command of Tsuruta Numasu, who were urgently reinforced from the county seat.

Looking at the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers and the burned trucks in one place, Luo Hekanshiro's face turned extremely blue. This time it was attacked by a sneak attack, and the total number of troops lost almost reached three infantry squads, not to mention. The crux of the matter is that a number of officers who were 'drawn' out of the division's troops stationed in various places to observe the 'sweeping' operation were all killed.

This field observation group was a group of squadron commander-level officers who were 'drawn' out of the units stationed in various localities after the division and regiment launched the 'sweeping' operation. It is for the entire division and even the entire First Army to carry out the rectification of the non-security areas in Shanxi in the next step and make tactical preparations.

This time, he proposed a plan for the rectification of public order in the entire Baijin Railway and the Eighth Route Army's activity area. In order to ensure the safety of the Baijin railway line and avoid the recurrence of the incident that was seriously damaged by the Eighth Road last time. The division and regiment headquarters attached great importance to it, and even made a special report to the headquarters of the First Army to make Hubei County a pilot county for the entire Shanxi.

As long as Luo Hekan Shiro can completely eliminate the Tuba Road in Hubei, and do a good job in tactical adjustment for the division to clean up the entire southeast and south of Jin for the next step, he Luo Hekan Shiro will be a great achievement. But now this field observation group, more than 20 'elite' British officers, were attacked in their own jurisdiction, even before entering the mountains.

Not only were more than 20 'elite' British officers killed, but they also took up the staff officers of the two divisional and regimental headquarters. This loss is not only quite huge for Kanshiro Rakuai. not only 'pumped' him with a big mouth, but also made his previous report that he had trapped Tuba Road in Hubei in the mountainous area and was carrying out the final sweep, which became a complete lie.
