Chapter 143 A Tiger General is a Tiger General
As the first batch of little devil reinforcements who arrived by train gave up the attack and waited for the arrival of the follow-up army, Zhao Tiehu, who guarded the stronghold of Wangzhuang, was also happy to be idle, staying on the position and waiting quietly for the little devil to make a move. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Just about the news of the robbery of the military train, considering the importance of a large number of weapons and ammunition, Zhao Tiehu still asked the scouts to contact the Taigu underground traffic station and quickly feedback this victory back to the brigade headquarters.
Brigade Commander Chen, who was fighting with the Japanese army to encircle and suppress the main force, received a telegram from the Taigu underground transportation station, and said in great surprise: "What? Is this information confirmed? That kid, do you really have the ability to do this? ”
The chief of staff, who was in charge of delivering the intelligence, said with a smile: "Brigade commander, I have repeatedly confirmed that this kind of big thing will not dare that kid to falsely report his war exploits. I think it's time to send troops over and receive these weapons, ammunition, and supplies.
Even the telegram sent didn't say how many good things that kid had grabbed. However, the little devil sent a heavy escort to the military column, and I believe that there are a lot of weapons and ammunition on it. Accept it, it's enough for us to expand the main force by another group! ”
Listening to Li Xinwu's slightly excited and eager words, Brigade Commander Chen thought for a while and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, we are only afraid that it will be difficult to transfer troops over. Send this news to the division headquarters first, and the division headquarters will find a way to send people to contact this batch of materials.
The Taigu side is the defense area of the 385th Brigade, and I am afraid that they still have to send people to receive this batch of weapons. When sending a telegram to the division headquarters, he emphasized that this was captured by the Hutoushan Brigade, and that the 385th Brigade should not be allowed to swallow everything up.
Earlier, that kid led people deep behind enemy lines, and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to make any moves. didn't think about it, so he first blew up the arsenal where the little devils were gathered in Dongguan, so that the logistics of the little devils gave a problem.
Now that the little devil's army has been robbed again, it is estimated that it is unlikely that the little devil will want to transport supplies from Dongguan in a short time. It was a very good opportunity for us to fight back.
Command the troops to prepare for a counterattack. In the past few days, the little devils have obviously switched from offense to defense, and it is estimated that their ammunition supply is also in trouble. Let the troops start a counterattack, and then consume the remaining weapons and ammunition of the little devils.
Once the little devils know that the logistics are giving a problem, they will inevitably find a way to retreat. As long as the little devils start to retreat, let our troops take the opportunity to go out, bite the little devils hard, and teach them a profound lesson. ”
'Yes! Brigade! Just let the 385th Brigade receive this batch of materials, and it is estimated that it will not be able to come out after receiving it. So we're not doing it for nothing? A train of weapons and ammunition, it's a bit of a pity! ’
As the chief of staff of the 386th Brigade, Li Xinwu also knew that all units in the brigade lacked weapons and ammunition. The more the troops develop, the greater the gap in weapons. This situation is believed to also exist in the 385th Brigade.
Once the 385th Brigade receives this batch of weapons and ammunition, it is unlikely that they will return some to the 386th Brigade. In recent years, the commanders at all levels of the Eighth Route Army have been slamming the door, and no one wants to give them the weapons and ammunition they have in hand!
On the other hand, when Brigade Commander Chen heard this, he said with a smile: "To be honest, if I have a troop in my hands, I also want to send someone to receive these weapons and ammunition, and I don't want to give these benefits to Lao Wang's guy."
But the problem now is that our troops are currently dealing with the little devils, and the situation of the 385th Brigade is similar. But they are close to Taigu, and if they want to draw a force over, they must be faster than us if they want to come quickly.
I even dare to assert that once the little devil knows that such a big thing has happened in Taigu, the Japanese army carrying out a sweeping mission nearby will inevitably gather heavy troops in Taigu and carry out heavy encirclement and suppression of our anti-Japanese troops there.
Now let the 385th Brigade receive that batch of weapons and ammunition, and also let them send the main force to Taigu. When the time comes, if there is a real fight, it will not leave that kid to fight alone. This batch of weapons and ammunition is still a little hot to swallow! ”
After some conversation, the two finally decided to report the matter to the division headquarters, which would directly handle the matter. The merits of this battle belong to the 386th Brigade, but the benefits are those of the 385th Brigade. But in the final analysis, all good things are from the 129th Division.
When the division headquarters received a telegram from the 386th Brigade, Division Commander Liu was also surprised and said: "Hutou Mountain Guerrilla Brigade? It is really not easy for a guerrilla brigade to have such combat effectiveness! ”
Political Commissar Deng, who was standing on the side, said with a smile when he heard this: "Lao Liu, it would be wrong if you compare this guerrilla brigade with our other guerrilla brigades. The commander of this guerrilla brigade is a tiger general! ”
'Huh? There aren't many commanders who can make you a tiger general! Who was the commander of this guerrilla brigade? ’
"There is a tiger head battalion in the Red First Division, and the battalion commander of the tiger head battalion, I believe the division commander should have an impression, right? ’
'Tiger Head Battalion of the 1st Red Division! When that battalion entered northern Shaanxi, wasn't it already reorganized? That battalion commander, I know, in the early years in the Soviet District, he also served as a division headquarters communications officer for a period of time, called Zhao Tiehu, right? ’
Division Commander Liu, who served as chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, also had some impressions of some veterans of the Soviet period. The Hutou Battalion also fought several tough battles on the Long March, and the battalion commander at that time, Zhao Tiehu, left a deep impression on many leaders.
Seeing that Senior Commander Liu really had an impression of Zhao Tiehu, Political Commissar Deng continued to smile and said, "Not bad! When this kid entered northern Shaanxi, he was seriously injured by a shell, and he has been recuperating in the rear hospital since then.
Originally, he thought that after his injuries were healed, he would be able to continue to return to his original army. But no one expected that the shell would blow up his brain, and he would go crazy at every turn, so he could only stay in the hospital for treatment in the end.
Later, when the troops were reorganized, his crazy problem was a little better, but he was definitely not good at serving as a commander, and he was finally assigned to the 386th Brigade as a cooking squad leader. I was seriously injured again a while ago, but because of the blessing of misfortune, my brain became sober.
It can be said that this time the little devil encircled and suppressed the 386th Brigade with heavy troops, which also had a lot to do with this kid, and provoked the little devil of Yushe. However, a tiger general is a tiger general, and being a guerrilla captain is still different! ”
After receiving a telegram from the 386th Brigade, Political Commissar Deng also asked the 772nd Regiment and the 386th Brigade about the situation of this unit that had penetrated deep behind enemy lines. Knowing that the commander was Zhao Tiehu, Political Commissar Deng also felt a little surprised.
For these senior commanders of the Red Army period, the old people of the Red Army period were each precious. Especially the main battalion commander like Zhao Tiehu during the Long March period is also very precious to the current Eighth Route Army.
With the continuous development and growth of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, commanders at the battalion and regimental level of the Eighth Route Army were very scarce. Old Red Army battalion commanders like Zhao Tiehu are undoubtedly the backbone of the command of the Eighth Route Army, and each of them is worthy of their reuse.
Zhao Tiehu, who did not know about his own situation and had already attracted the attention of the division commander, kept an eye on every move of the Japanese army in front of the stronghold. With a large number of convoys appearing on the road, Zhao Tiehu knew that the Japanese army had finally arrived.
Looking at the large Japanese troops gathered at the three forks one after another through the binoculars, Zhao Tiehu said with a slightly solemn expression: "It seems that we really poked a hornet's nest this time, looking at the situation, the little devils stationed in Taigu are probably dispatched!" ”
'Quite possibly! Looking at the scale of this assembly, it is estimated that there are thousands of people, right? ’
'Hmmm! No matter what, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, since we are here, we must have a good fight with the little devils. The more little devils we destroy today, the easier it will be for us in Taigu in the future.
Send someone to Zhang Mingxiang and ask him to ensure the safety of our flanks. If the little devils don't pass, just let them stay hidden. In addition, let a detachment go to the rear to make some preparations to ensure the safety of our retreat. ’
'Yes, Captain! ’
When Zhao Tiehu began to arrange the blocking and retreat, the Taigu garrison officer Nakasaki Yoshinaga who came with the large army looked very dissatisfied and dignified after listening to Miyata Yukinan's report.
'Yaga! Impotent! Have you found our trains? ’
'Report to Your Excellency the Garrison Officer, who has not been found yet. However, what can be confirmed now is that the Xinzhuang stronghold was also attacked by the Dirt Eight Road. Our train should be in the area ahead, but now we can't get there! ’
Konan Miyata, who was being trained, felt ashamed, but he still reported the situation truthfully. Knowing that the train was not found, Yoshinaga carefully looked at the terrain and found that the place selected by the Eighth Route Army was indeed difficult to fight.
Glancing back at the troops that had been assembled one after another, Yoshinaga Kazuka, who was staring at Wang Zhuang and observing carefully, finally said: "Order the artillery squadron to start building artillery positions and prepare for artillery bombardment, and all units are ready to attack."
Miyata Shaosa, wait a minute, I will order the Imperial Allied Army to attract the attention of the defenders of the stronghold, and you lead the team through the railway line to the front to find our train. Only by finding the train first can we confirm that the supplies are safe. ”
'Yes, Your Excellency! ’
Accompanied by Yoshinaga Kazumoku giving the order to attack, the Imperial Alliance Army Brigade that cooperated with the battle, even though many people felt a little tired, they didn't dare to say anything, and under the orders of their respective commanders, they began to prepare for the attack.
At the same time, Zhao Tiehu and the combat detachment who stayed on the battlefield also knew that the real tough battle was coming. Once the little devil launches an attack, the offensive is very ferocious, and everyone must be fully mentally prepared.
Yoshinaga Kazumoku, who had temporarily formed a headquarters in front of the stronghold, knew that time was precious to them now. If there is an additional hour of delay, the batch of weapons and ammunition that are extremely important to the front-line troops may disappear.
The Eighth Route Army did not leave after robbing the military columns, and it is estimated that it also knew that it would take time to transfer supplies. Therefore, at present, if the Japanese army wants to recover the looted materials, it can only break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army first. It's just that this battle is not easy to fight!
