Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Baoshan Brigade was cleaning up the battlefield, Peng Mingzhi came to Yue Weihan accompanied by Lu Han and said, "Yue Luzao, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Yue Weihan said indifferently: "After this battle of Crouching Tiger Mountain, the little devils in the Lunan region are estimated to be honest for a while, and the devils below the size of the brigade are estimated to dare not go out of the city to sweep, I plan to establish a base area with Nishan Township as the center, which is just right to form a horn with you to hold the calf base area, what does Commander Peng think?" ”

"It's a good idea." Peng Mingzhi responded with his mouth, but he couldn't help but have some regrets in his heart.

In fact, Peng Mingzhi hoped that Yue Weihan could pull the troops to the base area of Baoqinggu, so that the Eighth Route Army would have more opportunities to contact Yue Weihan, and if he could win Yue Weihan into the camp of the Eighth Route Army, Peng Mingzhi was even willing to give up the commander of the Lunan guerrilla detachment to Yue Weihan as a deputy commander.

"Head Peng, don't leave it here." Yue Weihan saluted Peng Mingzhi with a military salute.

"Take care." Peng Mingzhi also returned the military salute to Yue Weihan, and immediately turned around to reorganize the team.

In less than half an hour, the guns and ammunition belonging to the Eighth Route Army were also counted, and Yue Weihan gave the Eighth Route Army an additional 500 Type 38 rifles to show his gratitude, and the fortress households organized by the Zou County Party Committee were also divided into two groups, one group continued to march to Nishan Township with [***], and the other group went south with the Eighth Route Army, and went to the base area of Baoqinggu by taking a small road.

Seeing the figure of the Eighth Route Army disappear on the rugged mountain road, Liu Yi suddenly said: "Brigade seat, I have not been in contact with the Eighth Route Army before, so I don't know enough about them, but after this contact, I found that the Eighth Route Army is really good, although their equipment is almost good, but they are not ambiguous about fighting devils." ”

Yue Weihan smiled silently, Liu Yi's reaction was exactly what he wanted to see.

Previously, Liu Yi had always been wary of the Eighth Route Army, but now, his perception is quietly changing.

If you want to defect to the Eighth Route Army, it is not enough for Yue Weihan to be willing alone, but also for all the officers and soldiers of the brigade to be willing, and this cooperation with the Eighth Route Army is undoubtedly a good start, however, what makes Yue Weihan distressed is that until now, the Eighth Route Army has not sent anyone to contact him with his real surname!

Although Yue Weihan had long known that Zhao Xinyi was a member of the [***] party, he did not dare to contact her.

The reason is very simple, [***] is very vigilant, if Yue Weihan rashly contacts Zhao Xinyi, it is likely to arouse the suspicion of the other party, in case there is a misunderstanding because of this, it will be a good thing to turn into a bad thing.

Seeing Yue Weihan frowning silently, Liu Yi suddenly asked, "Luzao, what are you thinking?" ”

Yue Weihan shook his head and sighed: "I'm thinking, when the little devil is eliminated one day, I am afraid that there will be a battle between us and the [***] Eighth Route Army......

"yes." Liu Yi nodded and said thoughtfully, "It is indeed regrettable that the Chinese beat the Chinese, but with Chairman Jiang's surname, when the little devil is finished, he will definitely have to turn back and solve the Eighth Route Army, after all, the Eighth Route Army is [***] troops, [***] but Chairman Jiang's henchmen are troubles." ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Chief of Staff, I have an idea. ”

Liu Yi had obviously guessed what Yue Weihan was thinking, and said with a smile: "Does the brigade want to use the bayonet battalion as the backbone, and then supplement the local armed forces in Lunan to form a reading group?" ”

Yue Weihan was stunned and said, "Chief of Staff, how did you guess?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Liu Yi said abruptly, "After the Zou County arsenal was removed, the weapons and ammunition of the troops have been greatly replenished, and there is no shortage of ammunition in a short period of time. ”

Yue Weihan said happily: "Then do you think Li Yulong is up to the task?" ”

"It should be fine." Liu Yi said, "I think it's time for Li Yulong to stand alone." ”

"Okay." Yue Weihan nodded, and immediately turned back to Chu Zhongtian and said, "Zhongtian, you go and call the pillar." ”

The Baoshan Brigade has opened up the situation in Lunan and the Nishan Base Area is about to be established, so it is time to take over the non-combat units such as the special service team, the communication team, and the health team that remained on Weishan Island.

…………

Taihang Mountain, headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Chief of Staff Zuo hurriedly walked into the war room with a telegram and said to Mr. Peng: "Mr. Peng, Peng Mingzhi has won the battle again!" ”

"Oh?" Mr. Peng turned around when he heard this, and scolded with a smile, "What's the matter with this kid Peng Mingzhi?" Is it possible to become a refiner, how to win one battle after another, endlessly? ”

Chief of Staff Zuo laughed heartily and said, "It's better to fight a few more battles like this." ”

"Tell me what's going on?" Mr. Peng asked eagerly.

The chief of staff of the left immediately attacked the Lunan guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army on the Xishan Military Horse Farm, and then cooperated with the [***] Baoshan Brigade to attack the Zou County Arsenal, and finally spoke about it locally in an infantry brigade of the Wohu Mountain, and finally sighed: "It's just that the casualties are too great, and the 1st Brigade is the old foundation of the 685th Regiment, and now it is basically exhausted." ”

"How can there be immortals in war?" Mr. Peng waved his hand and said disapprerovingly, "Don't look at the Lunan detachment that has lost more than 300 old foundations this time, but with this batch of weapons and ammunition, Peng Mingzhi will be able to expand three brigades immediately, and then pull them to the battlefield for training, and in less than half a year, it will be another iron-clad force!" ”

"Yes." The left chief of staff said, "Since it is a war, casualties are always inevitable. ”

"Commendation, power up immediately!" Speaking of this, Mr. Peng said again, "In addition, let the comrades of the Huxi Prefectural Committee seize the time to contact Yue Weihan to see if it is possible to win him over, this Yue Weihan is really a good hand in the war, if you can really win him over, it will be a great help to our party and our army!" ”

…………

Wuhan, General Staff.

Surrounded by a large group of high-ranking generals, Chairman Chiang entered the underground war room, and more than a dozen senior staff officers who were busy in the war room hurriedly stood up and saluted Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang waved his hand absentmindedly and stood in front of the simulated sand table with an expressionless face.

Chairman Chiang's mood was quite heavy at this time, because the prospects for the battle of Wuhan were not optimistic.

Previously, although the news of the Baoshan Brigade's recovery of Lunan greatly boosted the morale and morale of the vast number of officers and soldiers, it is a pity that the comparison of the strength of the two armies is too great, although it has an absolute superiority in troops, most of them are recruits who have just been conscripted, and many of them don't even know how to use guns!

Although the army was inferior in terms of strength, all of their soldiers were well trained in military affairs.

What is even more serious is that under the indiscriminate bombardment of more than 500 heavy artillery pieces of the three heavy artillery brigades and regiments of the Chinese army and more than 400 bombers of the two major air regiments, the casualties of the [***] army are increasing at an astonishing rate, and the heroic officers and men are almost risking their lives to block the advance of the army.

However, not all the bad news coming back from the front is good, and there is occasional good news.

Due to the decisive counterattack of a certain regiment to which Xue Yue's corps belonged, it actually formed an encirclement posture with the Tang Enbo Corps on the Pingdingshan front line against the 26th Division of the Yue Army's left flank, and after two days of fierce fighting, the retreat of the 26th Division of the Yue Army was completely cut off, and the heavy army group of the Yue Army in the direction of Luohe was also entangled by the main force of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and had no time to rescue itself.

Now, the encirclement and annihilation operation against the 26th Division of the Yue Army has entered the most critical moment!

If the 26th Division of the Yue Army can be encircled and annihilated near Pingdingshan this time, then Xue Yue's troops and Tang Enbo's forces will immediately be able to free up their hands and flank Zhengzhou behind the Yue Army, which will pose a threat to the heavy army groups along the Luohe River and Zhoukou to a certain extent, and the offensive of the Yue Army will also be contained to a certain extent.

Chairman Jiang's gaze finally fell on Deputy Chief Bai's face and asked, "Jiansheng, how is the encirclement and annihilation of the 26th Division of the Yue Army going?" ”

"It didn't go well." Deputy General Bai smiled bitterly, "Although the 26th Division of the Yue Army is a newly formed field division, most of its soldiers are young and strong reserve soldiers, these reserve soldiers have received strict military training since childhood, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong, plus the army has an absolute superiority in artillery and air force, so it ......."

"I don't want to listen to this." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said rather irritably, "I just want to know, are Xue Yue and Tang Enbo sure that the 26th Division of the Yue Army will be completely annihilated?" ”

Deputy Chief Bai said: "There is a certainty, but it will take time." ”

"Time time, the most lacking thing right now is time." Chairman Jiang shook his head coldly and said: "If Xue Yue and Tang Enbo want guns and people, I can satisfy them, but I can't give them time, tell them that I am watching them in Wuhan, and the people of the whole country are looking at them, hoping that they will not live up to the cultivation of the party-state, let alone the ardent expectations of the people of the whole country!" ”

"Commission, Lunan Administration emergency call!" Chairman Jiang's voice fell, and Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard, suddenly strode in.

"Oh, Yue Weihan has won the battle again?" Chairman Jiang turned his head when he heard this, and his frowning brows finally eased slightly.

The senior generals in the war room also looked sideways, Wang Shihe hurriedly stepped forward and handed the telegram to Chairman Jiang, who couldn't help but praise after reading the telegram: "Good, good, Baoshan Brigade is good!" With only two remnant battalions, they were able to wipe out the arsenal of Zou County, and also wiped out an elite brigade of the Yue Army, which is amazing! ”

After saying this, Chairman Jiang said to Deputy General Bai again: "Jiansheng, add a sentence to Xue Yue and Tang Enbo's telegram: The Baoshan Brigade has turned the entire Lunan upside down with only two remnant battalions, and even completely annihilated an elite brigade of the Yue Army, why can't a dozen elite divisions of their two corps be helpless against one division of the Yue Army?" ”
