Suzuki Chaji lit a cigarette and said: "Lin Bianjun's new defeat has greatly affected the morale of the imperial army, so I order all troops to immediately march towards Feiyunling, and be sure to fight a victory to save the morale of the imperial army." ”

Kato Ichiro lowered his head and asked, "Your Excellency General, did you personally arrive at the front line to command the battle, or did you stay in Luquan to command?" Also, this time, the 13th Mixed Brigade is also coming to participate in the encirclement and suppression, should we surround Feiyunling first, and then attack together after the 13th Mixed Brigade arrives? ”

Suzuki Chaji pondered for a moment and said: "This time, you will come to the front line in person and command the major teams in a unified manner, I am in Luquan, and the brigade commander of the 13th Mixed Brigade is my old friend, I will wait here for his arrival." ”

Kato Ichiro bowed his head to accept the order, understanding what his commander meant, the two brigades did not have a unified commander, of course he, the brigade commander, had to stay in Luquan, otherwise when the time came, the commander of the 13th Brigade would be in Luquan, wouldn't he become the commander-in-chief?

It's a matter of face.

…………

On Feiyunling Mountain, under the mobilization of Guo Meng, the people, men, women and children went into battle together, and began to dig trenches on the mountainside and build a second defensive position.

The hard mountain was full of stones, and the people dug with great difficulty, but there was no complaint, but fortunately, a lot of Japanese equipment was captured, with bayonets and sapper shovels to use.

The people will not dig with their bare hands.

Qiao Youhua also personally went into battle, commanding the officers and soldiers of Longya to strengthen the first defensive position at the foot of the mountain, and after having the ash, the excavated anti-artillery holes and light and heavy machine gun fire points will become much stronger.

Unless a large-caliber aerial bomb or artillery shell hits directly, there is generally not much danger.

Jiang Haidong stirred some ashes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and came to Qiao Youhua and said, "Head, this can't be done, it will take at least one to two days for the ashes to solidify and solidify, otherwise the shells will be wasted as soon as they explode."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Youhua had a cigarette in his mouth, and he really ignored this question and asked.

"I mean, we'd better use all the ash to build a second line of defense, so that there will be enough time for the ash to solidify.

Once the first line of defense is lost, we have one of the strongest defensive positions to hold.

Of course, you can also use ash to reinforce it in some necessary places on the front line! Better than nothing. Jiang Haidong said.

Qiao Youhua thought for a while and said: "This method is good, you can do it, but I also suddenly thought of a way, I will take three hundred people to the periphery of the minefield, and then temporarily repair a defensive line, which will be of great benefit to our next defense, relying on the position, to fight against the Japanese invaders."

It can not only slow down the offensive edge of the Japanese army, but also delay time, in contrast, the mobilization of more than 20,000 troops of the Japanese army is much greater than our consumption.

They wanted a quick victory, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for them, given the current situation of the Japanese army in North China.

The Battle of Xuzhou was still going on, and the various units of the Eighth Route Army had already scattered out to start a full-scale anti-Japanese guerrilla war, and the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in Shandong, Shanxi and other places would also wait for an opportunity to move.

The fact that they have drawn so many troops from Shanxi to encircle and suppress us will inevitably result in a shortage of Japanese troops in various parts of Shanxi, and they will not be able to encircle and suppress us for a long time. ”

Jiang Haidong nodded and said, "But, Dragon King, have you thought about it, we only have less than five hundred troops in our hands now, and Yan zhòng is not enough."

Although the terrain of Feiyunling is dangerous and conducive to holding on, the difference between us and the devil's strength is too great! ”

Qiao Youhua waved his hand and said: "I've thought about this, how long can I hold on to it, it's really not good, let's take the people of Zheng Village into the back mountain, drill deep in the mountains and old forests to fight guerrillas with devils."

Besides, the terrain here is so dangerous, the devils can invest at most two squadrons to attack at one time, and they can't use it at all if they have more troops, so the disadvantage we face in terms of strength is not so obvious.

All I need to guard against is the devil's artillery and the threat from the air, which is why I got ash in my previous mind.

Even if we know where the shopkeeper might go wrong, we have to go, it's really too important for us. ”

Jiang Haidong nodded, and was about to lead people up the mountain to repair the second defensive position, when he found Guo Meng running over from the mountain path with an excited face.

When passing by Jiang Haidong, Guo Meng just smiled and nodded, and then ran around him towards Qiao Youhua, excited like a child: "Leader, there is good news, do you want to hear it?" ”

Qiao Youhua rarely saw Guo Meng, who had always been calm and generous, look like this in front of him, touched his nose with some tears and laughter, spit out a puff of smoke and showed his white teeth and smiled: "What's the matter?" ”

"I have just received a reply from the headquarters, in order to welcome our troops to join the Eighth Route Army, the headquarters specially communicated with the comrades of the underground party and ordered the anti-Japanese guerrilla forces in Luquan, Shimen, Zhengding and other four counties to rush to Feiyunling to support our troops in the battle! At present, the county brigades and district teams in these four counties are coming day and night.

Among them, the county brigade and the five district squads, more than 500 people, will arrive at noon today at most, and the reinforcements from the other three counties may not be able to arrive before the Japanese army, and we will have to find a way to receive them through the Japanese blockade line at that time. Guo Meng quickly said the astonishing news.

Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, seeing the two of them in a daze, Guo Meng stretched out his hand and waved his hand in front of Qiao Youhua's eyes and said, "Leader, leader, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qiao Youhua came back to his senses from the huge surprise and excitement, picked up Guo Meng in front of him, and spun it.

"Thank you so much, my good commissar!"

"Oops!" Guo Meng felt that he was surrounded by Qiao Youhua's powerful arms, and **** was squeezed on his strong chest, and he was suddenly shocked, "Head Qiao, let go of me!" ”

“

Jiang Haidong and the surrounding soldiers all widened their eyes, looking this way, Qiao Youhua hurriedly put Guo Meng down, and said with a rare old face: "That, what, Political Commissar Guo, I'm so happy for a while, I'm sorry." ”

"The commissar is blushing! Oooooooo A group of big-headed soldiers cheered in unison around them.

Guo Meng's face was as red as a ripe apple, he glanced at Qiao Youhua, turned around and ran towards the mountain.

Ma Biao came forward to the mountain, gave a thumbs up to Qiao Youhua and said, "Tuanzao, high, so soon, this beautiful female political commissar is about to get it!" In the future, the head of the political commissar will be a family, and men and women will not be tired of working together! ”

"You kid, roll the calf for Lao Tzu!" Qiao Youhua raised his leg to kick, but Ma Biao hurriedly ran away with a wicked smile.
