Knowing that the Songdao Wing and the Akita Wing from Wuhu were besieging the new 58th Division of the Third Theater in Guangde after occupying Shipu, Liu Tianshu immediately asked the reconnaissance brigade to pay close attention to the situation in Guangde, and at the same time called Political Commissar Jiang, Chief of Staff Xiang, and Deputy Detachment Commander Zhang.

As for Su Lan, because the Japanese army did not attack Changxing, and did not bomb Changxing, he rushed to Changxing early in the morning with people to deal with a matter related to the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not bomb Changxing, but the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army in Changxing, because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine, were confined to a compound, and they were naturally irritable, and the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the compound treated these wounded Japanese soldiers coldly.

If it weren't for the strict discipline of the seventh detachment, and the clear instructions of Captain Liu to protect these wounded soldiers, I am afraid that some soldiers would have rushed in to find these wounded soldiers.

However, because there was no medicine, two of the wounded soldiers became seriously injured, and if they did not operate on them, they would probably lose their lives.

After discussing the two wounded soldiers with Political Commissar Jiang, Liu Tianshu decided to send them to the hospital in Changxing City for surgery.

In order to avoid accidents, Su Lan personally took someone to deal with the matter.

"Political Commissar Jiang, Lao Zhang, and Lao Xiang, according to the information we have obtained, I am afraid that the friendly forces of Guangde will not be able to hold on." Liu Tianshu looked at a few people and said heavily.

Li Guangyuan, commander of the new 58th Division in Guangde, sent people in the morning to ask the 7th detachment to reinforce Guangde. Although the theater has not yet been ordered to come over, and the military headquarters has not issued an order for reinforcements, after some thought, Liu Tianshu felt that it was still necessary to give the new 58th Division necessary support.

Speaking of the new 58th Division, the last time the 7th Detachment rushed to Si'an from the west side of Tianmu Mountain, and when it passed through its defense area, the New 58th Division just watched and did not take any action.

Of course, after the 7th detachment arrived in Si'an, it did not negotiate with the new 58th Division.

"Tianshu, I think they are all anti-Japanese troops, since the friendly forces are under attack by the enemy, we should reach out. After all, it was our country's anti-Japanese forces that were lost. Political Commissar Jiang thought for a while and said.

"It's strange to say, has the little devil also learned to bully the soft and fear the hard? Seeing that our seventh detachment was not easy to bully, he ran to find trouble with the new 58th Division? Deputy Detachment Leader Zhang said with some emotion.

"I'm afraid it won't be so simple, if the devils give up attacking Changxing, it stands to reason that the devils in Wukang should stop or retreat to Wukang, according to intelligence, the enemy is still steadily moving north." Xiang Luoquan, as the chief of staff, was naturally very concerned about the situation between the enemy and us, and when he thought of the devil's performance, he immediately fell into deep thought.

"The chief of staff is right, the devils of Wukang have not stopped, there is definitely a conspiracy here, I suspect that the devils are ready to occupy Guangde first, cut off the connection between my detachment and the west, and then encircle my seventh detachment, and at the worst squeeze us into Tianmu Mountain. Therefore, it is imperative to reinforce the defenders of Guangde. In this way, we reinforced Quang Duc with a regiment and attacked the Songdo Wing to relieve the pressure on the defenders of Quang Duc, and at the same time, immediately formed the Jiansi Regiment. Liu Tianshu's eyes showed firmness.

Although the annihilation of the Third Brigade in Matsushima resulted in more than 400 casualties among the 1st and 3rd Regiments, the combat effectiveness of the two regiments was not greatly weakened, and because of this victory, the fighting spirit of the common people in the base areas was greatly boosted, and the number of young and middle-aged people who signed up for the 7th Detachment reached more than 800.

That is, the cadres at all levels needed for the formation of the Fourth Regiment were able to meet the needs of the cadres when they came from eastern Anhui, and the backbone of a company of the new regiment followed the action.

Of course, when it comes to specific formation, necessary adjustments must be made.

Political Commissar Jiang, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, and Chief of Staff Xiang all agreed when they heard Liu Tianshu's words.

Subsequently, the four decided that Kang Shuidong, commander of the second battalion of the third regiment, would serve as the commander of the fourth regiment, and that Fu Bing, the instructor of the second battalion of the original third regiment, would serve as the instructor, and at the same time, the second battalion of the third regiment would be integrated into the fourth regiment as a whole.

The troops reinforcing Guangde were personally commanded by Liu Tianshu, and in addition to the first regiment stationed in Si'an, there were also a company of infantry artillery battalion and a mortar battalion, and a company of the detachment guard battalion.

After Political Commissar Jiang carried out a political mobilization of the cadres at and above the company commander level, Liu Tianshu immediately led reinforcements to the west.

When Liu Tianshu led his troops to reinforce, the new 58th Division defending Guangde had already fought fiercely with the attacking Japanese army for a day.

In fact, when Songdao suddenly attacked Shipu, the New 73rd Army of the Nationalist Government Army stationed in Xuanzhou did not pay attention to it, and even only strengthened the defense of Xuanzhou's first line, and did not send reinforcements at all, resulting in the Shipu defenders finally having to abandon Shipu and withdraw to Xuanzhou to the west.

The New 73rd Army gave up Shipu, but did not order the New 58th Division to abandon Guangde's westward or southward retreat, but ordered it to stick to Guangde.

As a result, the defenders of Guangde finally fell into the encirclement of two wings of the Japanese army.

The emergence of this situation is actually related to the importance that the national government attaches to the city, whenever the enemy comes to attack, it always likes to defend the city, but in the end it is the end of the city being broken and people are destroyed.

He was reluctant to give up the city, and he did not dare to engage in field battles with the Japanese army, let alone take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, so he was often passive, which was also reasonable.

For example, in the face of the Guangde defenders' request for reinforcements, the New 73rd Army sent a division of troops, and as soon as they left Xuanzhou, they were intercepted by the Akita Wing, coupled with the help of Japanese aircraft, and soon had to retreat.

After Liu Tianshu led his troops westward, Songdao found that the New Fourth Army was suddenly rushing westward, and immediately drew out a brigade to build a position at Qinggangpo to prepare to block the attack, and the remaining two brigades plus the puppet army that cooperated with the action concentrated on attacking Guangde City with all their might.

Speaking of which, the new 58th Division also has more than 6,000 people, and there are also strong city walls, but under the fierce attack of the devils, it is very difficult, especially the Japanese artillery fire and aircraft bombardment, which makes the officers and men of the new 58th Division defending the city miserable.

The New Fourth Army came to the rescue, forcing Songdao to draw up troops to block it, and its siege had to be reduced, which made Li Guangyuan somewhat relieved.

But at this time, because the reinforcements from Xuanzhou retreated, the two brigades of the Akita Wing immediately joined the siege battle.

Finding that the Japanese army was preparing to block the attack at Qinggangpo, Liu Tianshu immediately called Tong Guijie, and at the same time was called Wu Zhongping, the commander of the artillery regiment, Zhou Aiguo, the captain of the reconnaissance brigade, and Sun Xuexuan, the intelligence staff officer.

"Staff Officer Sun, you tell you about the situation." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Tianshu motioned to Staff Officer Sun to introduce the situation.

Hearing that a Japanese brigade had built a defensive position in depth on Qinggangpo, Tong Guijie's brows immediately furrowed.

Although only one Japanese brigade was defending in front, the Japanese army's positional defense was famous, and the Japanese army also occupied favorable terrain, and if it launched an attack during the day, it was very vulnerable to air attacks by Japanese aircraft.

Seeing Tong Guijie deep in thought, Liu Tianshu asked calmly: "Commander, what do you think, let's hear it." ”

"Detachment leader, the enemy has built a defensive position in depth on Qinggangpo, and occupies favorable terrain, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to break through the position of the Japanese army." Tong Guijie said cautiously.

"Head Wu, what is your opinion?" Liu Tianshu was noncommittal after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Wu Zhongping.

"Detachment leader, Captain Tong is right, the devil built fortifications in advance, and the terrain is not favorable to us, even if we bombard with artillery fire, I am afraid the effect will not be great." Wu Zhongping's artillery regiment, since its formation, has always been in the siege and annihilation battles, such as the attack on the Japanese army to occupy a favorable terrain of the siege, he is really unsure.

"Well, you two are right, the devil wants to fight with us in Qinggangpo at this time, we can't touch this mold, but since the devil has put on such a big formation, isn't it interesting for us not to cheer. Come, you see, this is Qinggangpo, this is Lion Ridge, the Japanese army occupied these two heights, blocking our way to reinforce Guangde. Look here, this is Yelu Town, according to the intelligence of the reconnaissance brigade, only a company of the puppet army defends, Yelu Town is ten miles to the west, there is a Taoist temple that is very famous in the local area, called Qinglong Temple, because it is surrounded by small hills, and the scenery is very beautiful. However, after the devils occupied the Qinglong Temple, they did not appreciate the Taoist culture of our country, but quietly set up the logistics supply base here. The devil thought that all the people around him were scared away, and no one knew this secret, but there was no impermeable wall in the world. Since the devils store war materials there, then we don't need to be polite. The first battalion commander, your first battalion is responsible for attacking Qinggang Slope, and the artillery of Commander Wu will cooperate with your actions, remember, to put on a posture that we will forcibly break through Qinggang Slope, and the second battalion will be deployed in Yelu Town as a reserve, once the third battalion sneaks up on Qinglongguan, immediately destroy the enemy in Yelu Antler Town and ensure the safe retreat of the third battalion. The reconnaissance brigade was responsible for creating chaos behind enemy lines and blowing up the Jiming Bridge south of Qinglongguan. Do you understand? Liu Tianshu said his combat plan in one breath.

Hearing that the detachment leader was preparing to sneak attack the logistics supply base of the devils, Tong Guijie and Wu Zhongping's eyes couldn't help but light up.

As long as the devil's ammunition supply base is defeated, what else will Songdao use to attack Guangde?

After the combat plan was decided, the departments quickly began to prepare.

Liu Tianshu asked someone to call the officer sent by Li Guangyuan to ask for reinforcements: "Staff Officer Luo, the devil has built a strong position in Qinggangpo to intercept, I don't know if you have any way to contact Division Commander Li." ”

"Sir Liu, I wonder if I can make use of your radio station?" When Staff Officer Luo heard this, he looked at Liu Tianshu and asked cautiously.

Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to send a radio station over." ”

The Seventh Detachment has quite a few low-power radios in its hands, and it is only 30 kilometers away from Guangde, so there is no problem in using low-power radios to communicate with them. (To be continued.) )
