On this day, as soon as Liu Tianshu arrived at the headquarters, he saw Staff Officer Sun rushing over with a telegram. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Detachment leader, the Northern Jiangsu Command has an urgent telegram."

Liu Tianshu took a look, but it was an urgent order from the Northern Jiangsu Command to the Seventh Detachment, asking the Seventh Detachment to quickly send powerful troops to the Ningguo area on the west side of Tianmu Mountain to meet the military headquarters and the troops directly under it to break through.

In the telegram, the Northern Jiangsu Command told Liu Tianshu that the military headquarters and the Third Detachment had been fighting fiercely with the troops of the Third Theater for several days and were already in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, and the Japanese 19th Division had withdrawn from the Xuancheng area, which provided conditions for the rapid reinforcement of the Seventh Detachment, so the Northern Jiangsu Command Headquarters ordered the Seventh Detachment to pass through Tianmu Mountain and meet the New Fourth Army that broke through at all costs.

Jiang Jinyong, who came to hear the news, read the telegram and looked at Liu Tianshu quietly.

"Political commissar, now that the devil has evacuated Xuancheng, in this way, order the commander of the first regiment, Tong Guijie, to command the first battalion and the second battalion to immediately rush westward, and meet the military headquarters in the area of Ningguo to break through, I will take a guard company, an artillery regiment and three regiments and one battalion, and then rush over." Liu Tianshu thought about it for a while and made a decision.

After returning to Si'an, after learning that the devils had begun to retreat, Liu Tianshu was worried about the safety of the main force of the military headquarters that was under siege, so he asked Tong Guijie to command the first and second battalions to quietly go to Tianmu Mountain, and at this time they had assembled not far from Ningguo and stood by.

The order from the Northern Jiangsu Command came at the right time, and he immediately gave Tong Guijie an order to advance westward.

Although according to intelligence, there were as many as 70,000 friendly troops surrounding the military headquarters, and there were also 10,000 or 20,000 people besieging the east, Liu Tianshu did not completely take it to heart.

After giving Tong Guijie the order to advance westward, Liu Tianshu asked the guard company, the artillery regiment and the first battalion of the three regiments to assemble, and asked Sun Xuexuan to contact Zhou Aiguo immediately.

The three squads of the special operations team of the Zhou Aiguo Reconnaissance Brigade have passed, and the two sniper masters, Hu Yezhuan and Zheng Guangdong, have also been sent out by Liu Tianshu.

Yesterday Zhou Aiguo sent back a telegram saying that the troops of the Third Theater were very well defended, and they were trying to infiltrate in disguise, and they had not received a reply until today.

This is the fifth day that the military headquarters has been under siege, and because there are no clear instructions from above, this unfortunate news is still known only to cadres at and above the regimental level and relevant personnel for the time being.

However, I have just received a telegram from the headquarters in northern Jiangsu, requesting that the whole army of the New Fourth Army be informed of the fact that the Nationalist Government has treacherously besieged the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, which is being transferred.

Naturally, the matter conveyed by Political Commissar Jiang will handle it, and what Liu Tianshu has to consider now is the possible problems that the left-behind troops will face after he leaves Si'an.

Deputy Detachment Commander Zhang had followed the regiment to Tianmu Mountain, and Chief of Staff Xiang Luoquan and Political Commissar Jiang were naturally left behind at the headquarters.

After Liu Tianshu explained the matters to Luo Quan, Sun Xuexuan came in to report that the troops were ready. Liu Tianshu said let's go, and then strode out.

At the station of the Seventh Detachment of Si'an Town, the first battalion of the Third Regiment, the first company of the guard battalion, and the first mortar company of the artillery regiment were ready to go; just now Political Commissar Jiang had already made a pre-war mobilization, and when these soldiers learned that the Third Theater was brazenly besieging the military headquarters, they were all filled with righteous indignation and were eager to put on their wings and fly to southern Anhui.

Liu Tianshu's eyes only swept the soldiers who were standing solemnly, then raised his hand and saluted a standard military salute, and set off with a loud shout, and the troops immediately ran quickly in the direction of Tianmu Mountain.

Song Yujie learned that the Third War Zone suddenly besieged the military headquarters, and Liu Tianshu wanted to rush to the west side of Tianmu Mountain with his troops to respond, and immediately ran over from the field hospital, but unfortunately he was still a step late in the end, only to see Liu Tianshu's figure on the horse gradually disappearing.

Seeing Song Yujie's worried gaze, Jiang Jinyong walked over and comforted: "Dean Song, don't worry, Tianshu is fine, he will be back soon." ”

After entering Tianmu Mountain, whenever the troops of the Third War Zone intercepted him, Liu Tianshu forcibly passed, and if anyone dared to shoot, he would be dealt with by force.

Fortunately, the small unit of the Third Theater operating in Tianmu Mountain knew the strength of the Seventh Detachment, and now the main force of the Third Theater was besieging the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army in the Maolin area, so they dared to touch the moldy head of the Seventh Detachment, so they began to pretend to be dumb and deaf and turn a blind eye.

At noon, when the troops were resting, Sun Xuexuan finally got in touch with Zhou Aiguo.

When Liu Tianshu heard that several of Zhou Aiguo's special operations teams had arrived behind the troops of the Third Theater besieging the military headquarters, he immediately asked Sun Xuexuan to give an order to Zhou Aiguo, asking him to do everything possible to deal with the besieged New Fourth Army.

Sun Xuexuan was one of the three people who knew this meaning, and he couldn't help but feel a chill when he saw this, but he didn't say anything, but immediately operated the radio station himself and sent Liu Tianshu's instructions out.

Zhou Aiguo received Liu Tianshu's call back, glanced at the end of the article, immediately gritted his teeth, called the two squad leaders who were following him, and discussed in a low voice around the map, and then the two special operations teams left quickly.

In the end, Zhou Aiguo gathered the rest of the people, and after simply assigning the task, he quickly disguised himself as the troops of the Third Theater and hurried west.

Liu Tianshu led the troops through Tianmu Mountain, it was a day later, a day and a night of forced march, Rao is soldiers of the seventh detachment were well-trained, but also very tired, if it were not for the fact that all the soldiers were bent on meeting the main force to break through, I am afraid that they would have fallen long ago.

Fortunately, at dawn, Liu Tianshu received a telegram from Tong Guijie that they had rushed outside the encirclement of the Central Army, but because there were too many troops dispatched from the Third War Zone this time, once the battle started, the Central Army would definitely rush over with all its might.

Liu Tianshu saw that the first regiment had arrived outside the encirclement, so he was a little relieved, but he knew that the situation was critical, once the third theater learned that the seventh detachment had arrived in Ningguo, maybe it would concentrate heavy troops to press, so he could only ask Tong Guijie to be careful.

In the morning, the troops rushed to a place ten miles east of Ningguo, and the reconnaissance personnel came back to report that the Third Theater had set up two lines of defense in Ningguo, and it seemed that a gap had been found in which a regiment had passed, and the central armies of the two regiments were approaching in that direction.

Liu Tianshu was anxious when he heard this, and said to Sun Xue: "Staff Officer Sun, order the troops to assemble immediately and quickly rush to the bamboo pole shop, and be sure to control the bamboo pole shop before the Central Army arrives to ensure the passage for the retreat of the first regiment." ”

Once the Central Army took control of the bamboo pole shop, not only could the task not be completed, but even the first regiment was in danger of being encircled.

When Sun Xuexuan heard this, he hurriedly ran over and ordered the troops to assemble urgently, and the first company of the guard battalion, as the elite of the seventh detachment, was ordered by Liu Tianshu to be the vanguard force, and be sure to rush to control the bamboo pole shop before the arrival of the Central Army, and wait until the arrival of the first battalion of the third regiment and the second mortar company of the artillery regiment.

Jiang Zhihong, commander of the first company of guards, received the order and immediately led his troops to run forward, and his guards were in a row and rode horses like a whirlwind, galloping forward.

In their horse corps, a mortar and a heavy machine gun were also carried.

Just as Liu Tianshu was leading his troops to Zhuzhupu, Zhou Aiguo's special operations team began to attack the Central Army troops who were besieging the New Fourth Army in accordance with the order.

Hu Yezhuan and Zheng Guangdong, with snipers, ran to the mountains and forests where the two sides were fighting, and began to snipe the machine gunners of the Central Army and the officers on the front line.

In the mountains and forests west of Ningguo, a deputy commander of the Central Army saw the fierce gunfire in front of him, walked out of the command post with a telescope to observe the battlefield situation, and was seen by Hu Yezhuan hidden in the dense forest, he slowly stretched out the camouflaged sniper rifle, and glanced at the artillery position not far away, and saw an artilleryman putting the shell into the mortar muzzle, took a deep breath, when the mortar sounded, he lightly buckled the machine, knocked the deputy regiment commander over, and then raised the gun to shoot four shots at the gunner on the artillery position, Knock out four artillerymen directly.

Immediately after the fight, he quickly moved from the woods to follow the pre-designed route.

The staff officer of the Central Army, who was standing not far from the deputy regimental seat, was shocked when he saw the deputy of the regiment suddenly falling, and when he looked over, he saw a bloody hole in his head, and he couldn't help but cry out.

You must know that their location is a full kilometer away from the battlefield in front, and it is impossible for the bullets of the New Fourth Army to hit so far.

While he was in doubt, he noticed that the sound of artillery firing on the artillery position had weakened, and then he learned that the artillery position had been attacked, and four gunners were killed by one shot.

When the commander of the Central Army received the report, he immediately understood that there were snipers hiding nearby, and he couldn't help but gasp.

You must know that even in his regiment, there are no snipers, and as for the besieged New Fourth Army, there should be no such troops.

Thinking of the snipers hiding around, he couldn't help but shudder, and immediately ordered the guards to search the surrounding mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, when these guards entered the forest, they were immediately blown up by mines laid by unknown people, causing heavy casualties.

Because this central army headquarters was attacked by unknown people, the intensity of the attack in front was weakened, and the New Fourth Army broke through the defensive line, and hundreds of New Fourth Army troops rushed out of the gap and disappeared into the mountains and forests to the east in a blink of an eye.

The losses suffered by the attack on this regiment were relatively small, and the regiment to the north of it was not only destroyed by the artillery position, but also the regimental headquarters was attacked by unknown artillery fire, and the regiment commander was killed on the spot.

The defensive line in the north was torn apart by the New Fourth Army in a blink of an eye, but fortunately, the troops who arrived later re-tied their pockets, otherwise it is not known how many New Fourth Army broke through.

Tong Guijie took a regiment and two battalions, quietly arrived behind the Central Army that was besieging the New Fourth Army, and heard fierce gunfire from the west, he glanced at the Central Army position in front, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and shouted action, and the artillery company immediately opened fire fiercely at the Central Army position in front, blowing up the Central Army guarding the front in a daze.
