Chapter Ninety-Seven: There is no danger

Those who can sleep are blessed people!

Xiao Siming is destined to be a worrying and hard-working person, and he is definitely not a blessed person! So, you will be woken up when you sleep!

Those who woke up Xiao Siming were Deputy Battalion Commander Zheng Xiuchuan, Deputy Instructor Shi Poshan, General Branch Secretary Mo Shan, and Battalion Security Section Chief Feng Li.

Xiao Siming opened his eyes, and Zheng Xiuchuan said anxiously: "Battalion commander, it's not good, we were discovered by devils!" ”

Xiao Siming sat up from the kang with a "whew", grabbed the Wang Ba box under the pillow, and opened his mouth to ask, "The devil has caught up?" ”

Zheng Xiuchuan shook his head: "No, it's the little devil's plane that is targeting us!" ”

When Xiao Siming heard this, he was deflated, stuffed the pistol under the pillow again, and said, "Let me sleep for another two hours", then lay back on the kang and slept off.

Zheng Xiuchuan, Shi Poshan, Mo Shan, and Feng Li couldn't imagine that Xiao Siming would take the enemy situation so seriously, they all looked at each other, their faces were full of incredulity!

Mo Shan Laocheng, the secretary of the general branch who usually doesn't say anything, went up and pinched Xiao Siming's nose and whispered: "Battalion commander, there's a telegram from the division headquarters!" ”

At this time, Xiao Siming couldn't sleep anymore, turned over and sat up, opened his mouth and asked, "What about the telegram?" ”

Deputy battalion commander Zheng Xiuchuan hurriedly handed the telegram in his hand to Xiao Siming.

It was indeed a telegram sent by the division headquarters, which was very short and few words, praising the independent battalion for successfully destroying the Taiyuan airfield and completing the scheduled combat mission. At the same time, the independent battalion was ordered to quickly move to the Zhengtai Railway in the Yangquan area to conduct guerrilla attacks, and move closer to Zeng Guohua's five detachments, which fought independently and coordinated with each other.

After reading the telegram, Xiao Siming was silent in his heart, knowing that the leaders were considering that the Japanese army might frantically pursue and retaliate, and even more considering that it was too risky to let the independent battalion go south to join the main force of the division and cross the railway line, so they ordered the independent battalion to move east. At the same time, considering that the independent battalion is alone, let the independent battalion move closer to Zeng Guohua's five detachments, and the two units rely on each other and respond to each other, so that they can rescue each other at a critical juncture.

The fifth detachment was expanded by the old second battalion of the 685th regiment, which is Xiao Siming's old unit, and has a blood relationship with the independent battalion. These two forces cooperate with each other, which naturally reassures the chiefs a lot.

The only regret is that Xiao Siming is looking forward to going east and developing in the Hebei and Shandong plains, but the division headquarters does not have such an order, so he can only wait!

As for the capture of the independent battalion in the surprise attack on Taiyuan Airport, this time, there was no mention in the telegram of the division headquarters, it is estimated that the Japanese army is attacking frantically at this time, and the division headquarters considers that the independent battalion is still in the northeast of Taiyuan, and it is too difficult to transfer the captured materials to the division headquarters in the south, so it is better to leave it to the independent battalion to develop the troops!

Thinking that the division commanders are all famous generals of our army, they have their own famous generals, and they will not keep an eye on the capture of the independent battalion, anyway, where these trophies are left are the troops of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, Xiao Siming is also relieved.

Xiao Siming immediately drafted a reply to the division headquarters, reporting that he would resolutely carry out the order, and at the same time asked for instructions, when a complicated situation arises, can he cross the Taihang Mountains and go to the Hebei Plain to conduct guerrillas?

This time, Chen Qiang, the director of the radio station, quickly sent a call back from the division headquarters, with only one sentence and seven words on it: "Wait for further orders!" ”

With this sentence, it shows that the higher-level leaders have set their sights on the North China Plain and the land of Shandong, and maybe there will soon be an order for the independent battalion and the five detachments to move eastward!

Xiao Siming, who was familiar with history, knew that after the Japanese army ended the "Pingding Campaign", it would soon launch a siege of the Nine Roads southeast of Jin. At this time, the main force of the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division led by Zeng Guohua's Fifth Detachment, Xu Haidong, and Huang Kecheng should have been ordered to move from Pingshan, Hebei Province to the southeast base area of Shanxi Province to cooperate with the 129th Division. After the anti-Ninth Road siege is over, the five detachments will be ordered to advance into the South Hebei Plain with Xu Qianqian, deputy commander of the 129th Division.

Historically, the Fifth Detachment was the vanguard of the main force of the 115th Division advancing into Shandong and the Huanghuai Plain, and it was the southern Hebei Plain from the southeast of Shanxi Province, and then from the Southern Hebei Plain to the Jilu border. It was followed by the Jinpu detachment led by Sun Jixian, which was reorganized from the engineer company of the 115th Division.

Due to Xiao Siming's soul crossing, there was suddenly an independent battalion in the sequence of the 115th Division, and this unit developed rapidly, with strong soldiers and well-equipped! Xiao Siming estimates that I am afraid that history will be slightly modified, and maybe the independent battalion will become the vanguard of the main force of the 115th Division in its eastward advance!

Xiao Siming had no choice but to call back to the division headquarters again: "Resolutely carry out the order!" ”

After dealing with the call from the division headquarters, Xiao Siming asked Zheng Xiuchuan to report that he was targeted by the devil's plane.

Zheng Xiuchuan reported that at around 10 o'clock, the sentry reported that the Japanese planes were circling over this area for reconnaissance, and at 11 o'clock, the Japanese planes circling and reconnoitring began to drop bombs and strafe the villages in this area, apparently trying to blow up the independent battalion!

As he was talking, he heard a loud "boom", and an aerial bomb fell in Sangshuping Village and exploded!

Feng Li, the head of the security section, was anxious and shouted: "It must be that this traitor came out, and the little devil plane chased here." I'll go and see, which bastard dares but is a traitor, Lao Tzu killed him! ”

As he spoke, Feng Li jumped out of the room with a pistol.

Xiao Siming shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! Come back! ”

Feng Li had no choice but to retreat.

Xiao Siming took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "This is not a traitor tipping, but the Japanese high-level brains, according to the location and route of our several battles, it is deduced that we should be in this area at this time to hide and rest, and then send out planes to search and reconnoitre, trying to find our exact location so as to carry out the strike!" ”

Zheng Xiuchuan didn't believe it, and said How could the little devil deduce that we were secretly resting in this area? Wouldn't they have thought that we would cross the Fen River to the mountains of western Jinxi? Or go to the northwest of Jin to meet the 120th Division? Go to the southwest of Jin to meet the main force of the division? Why did you think that we would be hidden in this area?

Xiao Siming said that this matter is very simple, each unit has its own combat style, those veteran and experienced old devils, must have thought of the battle of Nianzigou, the battle of the stone measuring station, and even the battle of the county seat of Yuxian County from the point that the independent battalion used poison gas bombs in the surprise attack on Taiyuan Airport, and they would definitely judge that these battles were fought by one army. Moreover, if the little devils start from the battle of Yuxian, they will determine that our combat area is in the area of Zhengtai Road, and they must understand that after we evacuate from Taiyuan Airport, we will move to the border area of Yangqu, Yuxian, and Shouyang, and infer our location according to the speed of the march. It's just that the last time our army publicized the battle of Nianzigou and the battle of the stone measuring station, it did not name the number of the independent battalion, only said that it was a certain unit of the 115th Division, and the little devil still doesn't know what kind of unit we are, but this won't be hidden for long, and the little devil will figure out our number!

Zheng Xiuchuan looked unconvinced, pursed his mouth, and said that what Xiao Siming said was too exaggerated, just with the stupid appearance of the little devil, how could he think so carefully and deeply!

Xiao Siming glanced at Zheng Xiuchuan and said lightly: "If the little devil is really stupid, he won't be able to occupy the Northeast, North China and East China, and we don't have to fight guerrillas here!" ”

Zheng Xiuchuan was still not convinced, and muttered: "The little devil is not familiar with the language and geography, how can he find such a remote ravine!" ”

Xiao Siming said that the military map of the Japanese army is more detailed and easy to use than the military map of Yan Xishan, where are the wells and paths, and the devil's military map is clearly marked, what is so strange about finding here?

Shi Poshan was anxious, and hurriedly asked: "In this way, the little devil has already figured out where we are going, and then implements the original plan to move east, isn't it self-defeating?" ”

Xiao Siming didn't say anything, he finished the cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, sat on the edge of the kang and thought for five minutes before saying, "It's okay!" It's one thing for the little devil to determine the direction of our shift, but it's another thing to have the ability to mobilize forces to encircle and annihilate us. At present, the Japanese army in North China has arranged a dumbbell array, with the Shandong battlefield at one end, the Shanxi battlefield at the other, and the Hebei battlefield connecting the east and west battlefields in the middle. The little devil has a big plan, on the Shanxi battlefield, he wants to swallow the central army and the Jin Sui army in southern and southwest Jin, and on the battlefield in Shandong, he wants to capture Xuzhou, open up the Jinpu railway and cut off the Longhai Road. This is the grand strategy of the Japanese army, and it will not change in the slightest because of our attack on Taiyuan Airport! ”

When he said this, Xiao Siming's voice was a little lost: "In the eyes of the Japanese army, they have hated us to the core." But after all, we are only a battalion-level unit, and it is not enough for the Japanese army to mobilize a large army to encircle us. They just want to blow us up with planes too! Moreover, the Japanese army is busy trying to gather and annihilate the main force of our army in Jinnan, and it has to guard the rear, and it will not send a large force to pursue and annihilate us for the time being. We are in danger at the moment, how to go and how to go, but we must not be exposed! ”

If Terauchi Shouichi, Okabe Naosaburo, Kawabe Shozo and Kawagishi Bunzaburo, Gudina Huaxiong and others knew that Xiao Ming saw through their plot at a glance, it is estimated that their eyes would fall in surprise!

After listening to Xiao Siming's analysis, Zheng Xiuchuan, Shi Poshan, and Mo Shan had a bottom in their hearts, so they got up to say goodbye, saying that they were going to organize the troops and prepare to transfer at night.

Xiao Siming stopped them and explained that the troops had too much baggage, and they had to ask the villagers in Sangshuping to organize a front team to assist in the transfer. Take out some of the money from the seized funds and leave some for the villagers. In particular, the pseudo-maintenance president and those pseudo-bodyguards must let them join the front team, and bring out all the mules and horses at home to assist the independent battalion in transporting baggage. When they reach their destination, let them come back with the folks!

As soon as a few cadres heard it, they knew that Xiao Siming was not very old and had a lot of eyes, this was to pull the puppet maintenance chairman away, let him go and fight with the Japanese puppet army when he came back, and protect the fellows who supported the Eighth Route Army as much as possible!
