Compared with the need to be cautious when escorting supplies to march, everyone who returned to Zaozhuang this time was lightly armed, plus the war horses specially borrowed, Zhao Tiehu and his party could be said to be like arrows, and went straight to Zaozhuang at the moment.

Before returning to Zaozhuang, Zhao Tiehu still borrowed the radio station in Yan'an and sent a telegram to the task force, in view of the current situation, asking the base areas to shrink their forces and block the sweep of the little devils step by step.

As for other operational principles, Zhao Tiehu also did not dare to do anything about remote control command without knowing the battlefield intelligence. What he can do is to believe that the three detachment captains can help him fight this battle against encirclement and suppression.

Even if Zhao Tiehu traveled all night and night, the war horse he rode couldn't last long. After all, even if Zhao Tiehu and the others don't rest, the horses they ride must rest from time to time. Otherwise, these horses will not be able to run either.

Seeing that Chen Wan was also gritting his teeth and insisting, Zhao Tiehu could only constantly adjust the marching route to ensure the safety of the route back to the base area, and there would be no waste of time. If you don't walk well during the day, choose to walk at night.

After waiting for a few days, Zhao Tiehu finally arrived in Shandong, and the radio station carried by Chen Wan finally contacted the detachment. It was just a sudden news, but it made Zhao Tiehu feel a little distressed.

Facing Zhao Tiehu's trembling hands when he saw the telegram, Chen Wan said worriedly: "Detachment leader, are you okay?" ”

'It's okay! I was able to hold on and call back the three-point team. Comrade Liu Changyuan, deputy head of the third detachment, took over Comrade Zhu Zixi's post. Before I returned, the third detachment tried to shrink its troops as much as possible, and lurked in the secret camp to stand by! ’

'Yes, Captain! ’

After the other special combat team members saw the telegram, they said in disbelief: "Captain, Captain Zhu really sacrificed?" ”

'Hmmm! Tragically killed in the raid of the little devils! It's just that according to the telegram sent by the third team, I am afraid that someone will leak the location of the third team's base. I will definitely take revenge for this revenge! ’

Zhu Zixi, a platoon commander of the Jin Sui Army who was rescued by Zhao Tiehu and followed him from Yushe to Zaozhuang. In this Japanese encirclement and suppression operation, he unfortunately encountered an air raid by the little devil and was killed by the aerial bomb of the little devil.

In addition to this, the guard units of the third detachment also suffered heavy casualties. Arguably, as things stand, the threes are in the worst situation. The current situation of the other two detachments is also not optimistic.

After saying this, Zhao Tiehu continued: "Xiaowan, send a telegram to the team headquarters and ask Li Hao to organize a sabotage operation for me. The goal of the action is very simple, that is, to do everything possible to blow up the little devil's railway for me.

Since the little devil doesn't want us to have a good time, then I will dismantle all the railways in Zaozhuang this time. I'd like to see how many times the little devil can rebuild it! In the future, if I have the chance, I will blow up all the railways in the occupied areas.

In addition, Li Hao was asked to give operational instructions to the railway guerrillas, and from now on, they attacked the Japanese railways in Jining. It will be difficult for us to steal supplies in the future by blowing up the railroad, but this time I want to teach the little devil a lesson that I will never forget! ”

Hearing Zhao Tiehu's order, the newly appointed political commissar Chen Changyuan said with a slight hesitation: "Detachment leader, Jining should not be our defense area, right?" Do you want to ask for instructions when the troops are fighting across the border? ”

'Our railway guerrillas are currently operating in Jining. For our task force, the troops are there, and that is our area of operations. What's more, Jining is also currently an occupied area, so there is no need to ask for instructions!

Of course, if the political commissar is not at ease, he can send a telegram to the political commissar Luo who is advancing into the column. I'm sure that Political Commissar Luo won't say anything more. Railways don't play any role for us now.

On the contrary, relying on these railways that we built in the early years, the little devils wantonly stole our mineral resources. At the same time, relying on the railway, their troop deployment is also more rapid. For this reason, blowing up the railroad is less harmful to us! ’

For the newly appointed political commissar of the detachment, Zhao Tiehu could not say that he liked or hated it. In fact, when he received this appointment, Chen Changyuan also knew that he was not a likable political commissar. But this is an appointment from his superiors, and he can't afford to refuse.

On the way out of Yan'an, Zhao Tiehu rarely talked to him. Many times, Zhao Tiehu would only give an answer if he asked, and the completely businesslike answer made Chen Changyuan feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, if he had a choice, Chen Changyuan did not want to come to the task force as a political commissar. Even in the eyes of many people, the task force is a unit registered at the headquarters and has a very strong combat capability.

But this army was formed by Zhao Tiehu. Judging from the faces of these special combat personnel who accompanied Zhao Tiehu, Chen Changyuan did not see how much these soldiers respected him, the new political commissar.

Just like the detachment sacrificed a detachment leader this time, it stands to reason that Zhao Tiehu needs to discuss the appointment of a new detachment leader. After all, the commissar still has a lot of power in the personnel appointment of the detachment.

But Zhao Tiehu directly appointed the deputy team leader to take over, and he didn't discuss it with him at all. This kind of approach, even if Chen Changyuan feels that it is a little inappropriate, it is not easy to say anything. After all, he did not know much about the situation with the contingent.

And when he came with Zhao Tiehu this time, there were also leaders in Yan'an who specially approached him, hoping that Chen Changyuan would perform his duties as a political commissar after he arrived at the task force. On some issues, he can be optimistic about Zhao Tiehu, who is a bit maverick.

It's a pity that this way down, in addition to rushing is resting. Even if he studied the marching route, Zhao Tiehu didn't ask for his opinion at all. If he didn't ask, Zhao Tiehu would completely treat him as if he was a stranger.

Fortunately, Chen Changyuan also knew that the detachment leader in front of him was an old senior, and he was also a close confidant of the committee members. In addition, the commanders of the two columns currently in Shandong are both old leaders of Zhao Tiehu.

He, the commissar, wants to establish his prestige in the task force, and everything can only be done slowly. If you rush too much, it may only backfire. It's just that he didn't expect that before he arrived in Zaozhuang, a team leader would be sacrificed.

In the next trip, everyone obviously noticed that Zhao Tiehu was more silent than before. Such silence made many special combat team members feel how high the suppressed anger in Zhao Tiehu's heart was. Once it erupts, the consequences are unimaginable.

When the group arrived in Jining, Zhao Tiehu suddenly ordered to rest. Regarding this decision, Chen Changyuan was a little puzzled and said: "Detachment leader, the military situation is urgent, why do you have to stop here in Jining?" ”

'There is a combat mission! Xiao Wan, send a telegram to the advancing column, we need their intelligence support. Tell them where we are and ask them to get in touch with us as soon as possible. ’

Regarding Zhao Tiehu's decision, although Chen Changyuan was very angry, he could only endure it. The accompanying special combat team members looked very much forward to it when they learned that there was a combat mission. Along the way, they are not very angry!

After the telegram was sent, Zhao Tiehu ordered someone to spread out the map he was carrying and said: "Xiao Wu, you two will find a way to infiltrate Jining City today to find out the movements of a little devil, focusing on monitoring the garrison of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army.

Next, I will personally lead you through a real decapitation operation. I, the detachment leader, failed to return when the troops needed it most, and I need to bring some loot to comfort the soldiers who died! ”

'Captain, are we going to move the 32nd Division?' Is it their division commander? ’

'Nice! As long as it is the general of the 32nd Division, it is our target for this beheading. I want to see if the little devil can still sit still once the 32nd Division falls into a leaderless situation.

Judging from the information provided by the current detachment, the little devil has gathered heavy troops in Zaozhuang this time. The 32nd Division also shrank a lot of troops in the defense area. Once the decapitation operation is successful, the entire defense area of the 32nd Division will also fall into chaos.

What's more, the advance column has arrived in Jining for so long, and I believe they are also waiting for the best time to start a battle. Take this opportunity to make a good fuss in Jining and give the little devil a straight smash Huanglong! ’

Chen Changyuan, the political commissar standing on the side, said with a face full of disbelief: "Detachment leader, just a few of us to deal with the division headquarters of the little devils?" Wouldn't that be too risky? ”

'Commissar, can there be anyone who does not take risks in war? You are also a veteran soldier, and I believe that the current situation of the detachment, you also know a little. In the current situation, do you think that if we return to the detachment as soon as possible, we will be able to solve the current dilemma faced by the detachment?

Since we can't think of a good solution to the problem, we can only look for a breakthrough from other places. The 32nd Division, on the other hand, is relatively empty at present. It's also our best chance to make a move. Once successful, the siege of Zaozhuang can be relieved.

At that time, we will return to the detachment and look for fighters for counterattacks, I believe it will also be easier. If we don't disperse the little devil sweeping troops who are currently in Zaozhuang, it will be difficult for us to find a chance to fight back! ’

But with us as people, can we really do it? ’

'Okay, you'll know when you do it!' Political commissar, the next contact with the advancing column is to be commanded by you. When the liaison officer of the advancing column arrives, I hope that the political commissar can contact them and give us some additional combat materials! ’

As soon as he heard Zhao Tiehu's words, Chen Changyuan also knew that Zhao Tiehu didn't want him to participate in combat operations. Even though he objected, Zhao Tiehu still insisted. In this case, Chen Changyuan can only reserve his opinion.

In his opinion, Zhao Tiehu's behavior is somewhat looking for death. But the problem is that in this situation, Zhao Tiehu can't listen to his words at all. It seems that he wants to be a good partner with Zhao Tiehu, but it is estimated that it is unlikely!

also felt that this combat mission was extremely risky, and Luo Rong, who learned the news. It's just that when he was about to stop it, Zhao Tiehu had already led the accompanying special combat team members to leave. This means that the operation has already begun and it is no longer possible to withdraw the order!
