On this day, as soon as Liu Tianshu returned to the military region headquarters from Jiangkou Town, where the New Ninth Brigade was stationed, and had a few brief words with political commissar Jiang Jinyong, Deputy Chief of Staff Sun Xuexuan walked in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Commissar, commander, headquarters emergency call."

Hearing this, Liu Tianshu looked stunned, took it and read it quickly, and then handed it to Jiang Jinyong.

"The headquarters asked us to send troops to reinforce Jizhong?" After reading the message, Jiang Jinyong's expression was extremely solemn.

After nearly 100 battles of all sizes, the independent division entered the Liangshan area and established the Hebei-Henan-Lubian Military Region in accordance with the instructions of the higher authorities, and finally uprooted all the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army in this area, forcing the Japanese puppet army to fall into the hands of the military region except for guarding key cities.

However, although the entire base area has been consolidating and developing, it is also facing tremendous pressure. The Japanese army in the north has heavy troops on the Linqing line in Handan, the Japanese army in Jinan in the east is also eyeing the tiger, the Japanese puppet army in Anyang Xinxiang in the west is also strictly guarded, and in the south, the Japanese army is also ready to sweep at any time. It can be said that although the Hebei-Henan-Shandong Military Region was established, it was still surrounded by the Japanese puppet army.

At this time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered the Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region to send troops to reinforce Jizhong, indicating that not only was the Jizhong base area facing many difficulties, but even the Taihang Mountain base area could not draw troops to help for a while.

Otherwise, the order to send reinforcements to the Hebei-Henan-Lu Military Region would not have been issued.

"Political commissar, it seems that the devil is in a hurry this time, the pressure in Jizhong is too great, and the devil has gathered heavy troops along the Pinghan Line and Zhengtai Road, and the troops in the Taihang Mountain base area will not be able to reinforce for a while. In this way, the New 11 Brigade was ordered to immediately prepare for battle, and the New 11 th Brigade handed over the original combat mission to the Third Regiment of the New 10 th Brigade, with Comrade Shi Qiang in charge, and at the same time sent the independent regiment of the military district to carry out the task together with the Third Regiment of the New 10 Brigade. Liu Tianshu thought about it and quickly came up with a plan of action.

The New 11 th Brigade was originally organized as a mobile unit of the Military Region, and its fighting style has always been rapid and rapid, and its mobility and mobile combat capabilities are very strong.

Comparatively speaking, the New Ninth Brigade was relatively outstanding in defense, but when the independent division arrived in Hebei, Yulu, the New Ninth Brigade suffered large losses, and although two Eighth Route Corps were later incorporated into the brigade, its combat effectiveness still failed to recover to its heyday.

Fortunately, after a period of a series of battles, the New Ninth Brigade has been tempered by the fire, especially the two newly incorporated Eighth Route Corps, which have improved extremely quickly.

At present, the New Ninth Brigade is deployed to the west and south of the base area, and is responsible for dealing with the attack of the Japanese puppet army from the west and south.

Liu Tianshu had just returned from Jiangkou Town, where the headquarters of the New Ninth Brigade was located, and he was quite satisfied with the situation of the New Ninth Brigade.

As for the new 10th Brigade, Brigade Commander Xie Pingcai and Deputy Brigade Commander Shi Qiang have their own operational styles, Xie Pingcai commanded the troops to fight, and he was meticulous in attack and defense, and rarely left flaws for the opponent, while Shi Qiang, as a person brought out by Liu Tianshu, had a somewhat whimsical combat style.

Therefore, Liu Tianshu decided that the New 10th Brigade would still be responsible for the defense of the east and north. The Third Regiment of the New 10th Brigade and the Independent Regiment of the Military Region commanded by Shi Qiang were responsible for the north so that they could respond to Hao Mengxuan at any time.

Hao Mengxuan and Shi Qiang received a notice from the headquarters and immediately rode fast horses to the headquarters. Subsequently, Political Commissar Jiang briefed the two on the situation facing Jizhong and the orders given by the General Headquarters to the Military Region, and then briefed the chief of staff on the current situation of the enemy and us in Jizhong and the situation of the enemy and the enemy around the base area. At the same time, combat missions were assigned to both of them.

"Meng Xuan, this time the headquarters decided to let you command the new 11th Brigade to go north to reinforce the Jizhong base area, this is a glorious and arduous task, Okamura Ningci in order to sweep the Jizhong Plain, concentrated the strength of a division to block the Taihang Mountain, and at the same time ordered the Shandong Japanese army to entangle the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Shandong base area. The General Headquarters asked us to adopt the method of rapid assault to quickly break through the Japanese defense line in southern Hebei, tear a hole in the Japanese army's encirclement of Jizhong, and help the troops in the Jizhong base area to smash the enemy's sweep. You may have discovered that as the Japanese army retreated in the Pacific theater, it is foreseeable that the time for the little devils to perish is not far off. However, the little devil will not be willing to fail, and will definitely make the final dying struggle, the little devil is ruthless, we must be more ruthless than them, only when the devil is hurt and scared, the little devil will obediently get out of China. In this battle, you must use your brains more and consult more with local comrades, so that you must fulfill the tasks assigned to us by your superiors and not suffer major casualties. In the end, Liu Tianshu was a little serious.

Hao Mengxuan's heart was hot when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the task, and if there is any situation, I will definitely report to you in time." ”

The next day, the three regiments of the New 11 th Brigade, which had completed their preparations, quietly completed their assembly in the area of the Zhanghe River in the north of the base area. The last time Liu Tianshu returned to the headquarters of Taihang Mountain, because a medical team under the head of Cao Yongjian was detained by Tang Guo, then the commander of the 27th Regiment of the New Nineteenth Army, he personally went to negotiate, because of his relationship with Jiang Fengyi, the deputy commander and chief of staff at the time, and Jing Dazhuang, who was promoted to deputy division commander, he successfully returned Cao Yongjian's medical team.

However, when Liu Tianshu arrived in Hebei-Yulu with an independent division, Jiang Fengyi had been transferred to the First Theater Commander's Department, and at the same time, Jing Dazhuang was also transferred to the 17th Group Army of the First Theater to be the division commander.

Later, the commander of the new 19th Army of Yuniushan was a man named Zhou Wuyang, and Tang Guo had been promoted to deputy commander.

It's just that the newly formed 19th Army was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army on a large scale in the fourth or third year, and now there are only more than 3,000 troops left in Yuniushan, and it is said that there is a shortage of guns and ammunition.

It was Tang Guo and Zhou Wuyang who also left Yuniu Mountain.

After the Japanese puppet army severely damaged the new 19th Army, it took control of the important market towns around Yuniu Mountain, and also built many fortifications. The New 11th Brigade went north, and Liu Tianshu's idea was to take it by surprise and go north through Linqing.

At the same time, the brigade's special service battalion had already set out ahead of schedule to get in touch with the anti-Japanese guerrillas operating in the Linqing area, and when it was dark, it suddenly sabotaged the telephone lines between the Japanese strongholds around Linqing, and at the same time planted mines on the road west of Linqing.

A regiment went north and immediately uprooted the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army along the way, and the devils built those turrets on the side of the road. In the eyes of the first regiment of the new 11th Brigade, it was simply like a living coffin, and the three battalions of the first regiment were all equipped with infantry artillery mortars, and they bombarded these turrets violently, and in the blink of an eye, the turrets were bombarded into ruins.

After uprooting more than a dozen small strongholds along the way, the Linqing Japanese army finally found that the main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared around Linqing.

The commander of the Linqing army immediately sent a large group of Japanese troops, with the cooperation of more than 500 puppet troops, from Linqing City with great momentum, who knew that it was less than 20 miles out of the city, and the three-wheeled motorcycle that opened the road in front was directly blown away by two mines, and the troops behind saw this change, so they naturally stopped, but at this moment, the second regiment that had quietly arrived suddenly killed, and the shells and machine guns greeted the devils on the road. The devils who came out to reinforce were caught off guard, and more than a hundred people fell on the spot, as for those puppet troops, when they saw the Eighth Route Army killed, they immediately jumped to both sides of the road, turned around and ran backwards.

As soon as the Japanese troops on the highway recovered from a few minutes of stormy blows, the 2nd Regiment rushed towards the road like a whirlwind, and at the same time, mortar grenadiers and heavy machine guns again attacked the Japanese troops on the road, knocking the Japanese troops on their backs.

The Japanese captain saw that the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and his troops lost one-third in a blink of an eye, and in the dark, he didn't know how many Eighth Route Army was rushing towards him.

After reporting to the commander in embarrassment, he immediately commanded the troops to retreat to Linqing County.

When the 2nd Regiment saw the defeat of the Japanese army, it naturally beat the water dogs in the back. He chased out ten miles in one go, and did not stop the pursuit until he was outside Linqing City.

As for those puppet troops, after seeing that the Eighth Route Army stopped pursuing, they moved closer to the Japanese army that retreated to the edge of the city. Of course, the commander of the puppet army was slapped countless times by the captain of the Japanese army.

Forcing the Japanese troops out of Linqing to retreat, Hao Mengxuan did not stop, and commanded the main force of the New 11th Brigade to quickly move north.

The commander of the Japanese army, who was besieging Jizhong, could not help but be surprised to learn that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei, Yulu had suddenly moved north, and had broken through the defense line of the Japanese army in Linqing.

Subsequently, a wing of Japanese troops quickly moved south to Hengshui, preparing to encircle Hao Mengxuan's troops together with the surrounding Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops besieging Jizhong were forced to withdraw a wing, which greatly relieved the troops in the Jizhong base area, and under the command of the commander, the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong took the opportunity to ambush a lone Japanese puppet army.

Hao Mengxuan saw a wing of the Japanese army rushing from the north, and at the same time, the Japanese army in the west was also pressed like locusts, and immediately commanded the troops to advance to the front line of northern Lu.

The Japanese puppet army in the northern part of Lubei was supposed to guard against the attack of the Shandong Eighth Route Army, but at this time it was swaggered by Hao Mengxuan to make such a guy, seeing that countless strongholds were swept away by the new 11th Brigade, and countless villages fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, they were angry, and the Japanese troops in the north and west finally merged all the way and chased all the way behind Hao Mengxuan's ass.

It's a pity that Hao Mengxuan commanded the New 11th Brigade, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the north, and sometimes even to the south, so that the Japanese army could not determine the real goal of the New 11th Brigade at all.

The local anti-Japanese guerrillas along the way, supported by the New 11th Brigade at this time, raised their eyebrows and puffed up. (To be continued.) )
