That night's Reading Brigade, except for the sentinels who served as guards, every soldier was happy to eat and kill mules and horses, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, but the Devil Banqiao Command, and even the entire Zhengtai Command were in a mess, you must know that the Devil lost nearly a thousand imperial soldiers in a row in less than three days before and after, which made the front-line commander very angry, and soon, Kawa Sanada Kuniwei Osa of the Sixth Wing of the Baggage Brigade personally came to the Itabashi Command Headquarters to command the operation

Although the Reading Brigade has won two consecutive battles, Liu Hua knows that the current situation of the army will get worse and worse, in the hearts of the people, he has not yet fully recognized his team, and more importantly, the main equipment of his Reading Brigade is domestic, and the bullets can be described as one less shot, soldiers, ammunition, this is the most lacking thing in the Reading Brigade at present.

"The brigade commander, the commissar, the call from the headquarters." Chief of Staff Li Qing ran in.

"Read."

"In order to cooperate with the Kuomintang to defend Taiyuan, according to the order of the Central Committee, you are specially ordered to move to the Pingding area, and actively seek opportunities to flank the army, and ask your department to hold a major annihilation battle in the near future to strike at the enemy, cooperate with the frontal battlefield, and at the same time prepare for the long-term establishment of a local base area, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army."

"Commissar, the mission is here again, it's time for us to go again." After listening to the telegram, Liu Hua sighed.

"Order the first and second companies of the newly formed cavalry battalion to set off immediately to conduct covert reconnaissance in the Pingding area, mainly to reconnoiter the recent activities of the army and the logistics transportation to be carried out, and to carry a radio station, and report the situation immediately."

"Let the three regiment commanders and political commissars come to the headquarters for a meeting." The political commissar ordered after Liu Hua's words.

Soon, the three regiment commanders came to the headquarters, and Liu Hua didn't have much nonsense, stood up and got to the point.

"Comrades, in the past few days, we have won two consecutive battles, which has had a great impact on the army and strongly supported the frontal battlefield of the Kuomintang Party, but now the [***] in front of us is preparing for the Battle of Taiyuan, and the headquarters asks us to fight another battle, do you have confidence?" Liu Hua looked at the people who were listening carefully and asked.

"Yes"

"Okay, now I order, the troops will move day and night, and move to the Pingding area, the cavalry battalion has now set out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, maybe the fighters are coming soon, so we must hurry up, we must rush to the location before tomorrow night, and act tonight, the first regiment of the avant-garde, the second regiment and all the troops directly under the army, and the third regiment of the whole brigade rearguard. I now give the floor to the political commissar. ”

Soon, the temporary meeting ended, and several commanders quickly returned to their ranks for pre-war mobilization, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion began to load and unload supplies.

In the evening, the entire Reading Brigade began to march towards Pingding as scheduled, and in the middle of the march, Liu Hua received a telegram from the cavalry battalion on the enemy's situation.

"It was discovered that the main force of the 20th Division of the Yue Army was attacking Pingding, and about 1,000 people from the rear baggage troops entered the camp in Shiyu Town. According to the analysis, the enemy army will pass through Qigan Village tomorrow afternoon" Seeing this, Liu Hua thought of the ambush battle in Qiqian Village in the future.

"It seems that history has not changed much because of its arrival." Liu Hua sighed secretly.

"Map, call the commissar, the chief of staff." Soon, a map was laid out on the bullet box in front of Liu Hua, and at the same time, the political commissar and chief of staff also ran over

"Political commissar, chief of staff, intelligence from the cavalry battalion, there is a big battle" After speaking, he stared at the map and looked for it.

"Qigan Village, Qigan Village," Liu Hua said to himself, "Here", Liu Hua pointed to a point on the map.

"Chief of Staff, how far are we from Qiqian Village now" Liu Hua looked at the chief of staff next to him.

The chief of staff compared his hand and said, "Brigade commander, it's not very far, we are now 40 miles away from Qiqian Village, and if we march urgently, we will definitely be able to arrive tomorrow morning." The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, order the troops to speed up the march and rest when they arrive at Qiqian Village. The three of us talked as we walked. Soon, the order reached the ears of every soldier, and the troops trotted slowly, while the three commanders of the Reading Brigade rode on their horses, talking as they went

Because the fighter plane came too suddenly, in order to be able to grasp it and finally win, after discussion, Liu Hua and the chief of staff took the last company of the cavalry to bypass the main force and cut directly into Qiqian Village from the path, and the main force was led by the political commissar and had to rush to Qiqian Village in the morning.

Liu Hua looked at the terrain in front of him and couldn't help laughing out loud. "yes, what a great place. Chief of Staff, immediately draw up a plan of operations, and immediately enter the position as soon as the troops arrive. “

In this way, Liu Hua followed the chief of staff to draw sketches in the hazy moonlight, discussing the ambush locations of each unit, and finally when he saw the advance guard of the troops rushing to the troops, a battle plan was distributed to all cadres above the battalion level through the soldiers of the cavalry company.

"Send a report to each regiment, carry out an ambush in strict accordance with the position on the combat plan, the troops are not allowed to make fires for cooking, all personnel eat dry food cadres, and party members must play a leading role and send it out immediately." Liu Hua looked at the sweaty telegraph operator and ordered eagerly.

Soon, the various units began to move towards their predetermined positions. At the same time, the fighters of the baggage battalion began to distribute ammunition to the regiments, battalions, and although the fighters were tired, not a single one of them complained, led by the cadres, party members who led by example

In less than an hour, the position of Qiqian Village fell silent again, and only the sound of soldiers gnawing on dry food was the sound of soldiers

Just when the soldiers were busy, the telegram of the cavalry battalion began to be sent to the temporary headquarters continuously: "The army had breakfast at seven o'clock in the morning, and now it has opened the town of Shiyu, and now the cavalry battalion is following closely, according to statistics, this baggage unit has a total of more than 1,100 combatants, carrying four mountains, six mortars, eight heavy machine guns, and more than 300 mules and horses

"Political commissar, it seems that the cavalry battalion should be renamed, the enemy's weapons have been sent, this is really enough to order the soldiers to rest first, and then get up when the time comes, the soldiers are too tired now

This time, the baggage troops of the Yue army were to transport bullets, shells, and grenades that urgently needed to be replenished to the Yue army in the Taiyuan Battle on the front line. The supreme commander is the captain of the 1st Brigade of the 20th Division's Baggage Wing, and because of the two consecutive ambushes of the Reading Brigade against the Chinese army in the past few days, the Japanese army has no choice but to strengthen the defense force of logistics and transportation, and in order to escort this batch of ammunition that is in short supply on the front line, the commander of the 40th Brigade and Brigade of the front line, Yoshio last month, specially sent two reinforced infantry squadrons.

Although Nakasa was a middle-level commander of the imperial soldiers last month, as a commander who came out of the countryside without any background, he could only be transferred to the logistics unit in the highly hierarchical army, and this was a great blow to last month. Because a lieutenant is at least a captain if he is in the combat unit. There are more than 1,000 elite Imperial Army soldiers below, and now I am a captain, but only more than 500 heavy soldiers, although they are equipped with infantry weapons, but compared with the front-line troops, it is simply incomparable, and now I finally command more than 1,000 troops, and there are two elite reinforced squadrons.

Looking at the procession stretching for nearly two miles in front of him, Shangyue couldn't help humming happily and singing a folk song

Ask for collections, ask for rewards, ask for recommendations
