"No way, let them come back first." , Hu Weidong had to telegraph Xu Chengji, asking them to give up their original plan to return.

Xu Chengji and they went to carry out the task when they set off, and everyone also knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, so it was natural to take a rapid march, and they ran nearly a hundred kilometers in just one day and one night, but at this time they received an order to give up the task, and everyone's anger was discharged immediately, and they were all too tired to work, and Hu Weidong did not issue a new task or ask them to return as soon as possible, so everyone was happy to walk slowly and recover their strength by the way. But no one expected that a few days later, they found a Japanese army of about 3,000 people heading towards Fengtai, according to the Japanese army structure that Hu Weidong talked about in the class, Xu Chengji judged that this devil should be an infantry wing, and hurriedly telegraphed to the corps headquarters to inform him of the matter.

"What do you think?" Hu Weidong still has 100,000 troops at hand, and he didn't take this point seriously to the Japanese army, but in order to show his democratic style, he still asked Zhang Hao and Su Yu for their opinions. Especially Zhang Hao, his status in the eyes of great men is rare, and according to the system of the Red Army, in fact, he, the political commissar and former secretary of the party committee, is the number one of the Red Eighth Army Corps, only because he has just arrived in the army and his prestige has not been established, and Zhang Hao's personality is relatively introverted and low-key, Hu Weidong can continue to maintain his unrivaled position in the army, but the more so, the more he must show respect for Zhang Hao.

And Zhang Hao was as low-key as ever, "I don't understand military matters, just the two of you are in charge." ”

But Hu Weidong didn't want to let him go, and said with a smile, "Then analyze and analyze it politically." ”

Zhang Hao thought for a while, and seemed to have something to say, "The enemy still doesn't seem to know our identity and strength, and still expects to recover these arms to reduce the guilt?" ”

Hu Weidong thought about it, it was indeed like this, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, "In other words, they haven't reported yet?" In this case, if we can make good use of their mentality, we can let them report to the military headquarters a few days later (at this time, the Japanese army in North China did not have an air force, and the air raids had to rely on the help of the Kwantung Army or the Japanese navy on the side of Dalian Lushun, so if they wanted to bomb Fengtai, they had to report to the military headquarters. It seems that we can hopefully move all this arms out and take them away."

At this time, the telegraph operator received a new telegram from Xu Chengji, and he now realized what would happen if the Japanese army discovered the main force of the Red 15th Army occupying Fengtai, and had already made a decision to let the more than 500 combat troops attack the enemy and try to hold back the enemy and wait for reinforcements from the headquarters, while the special combat team went to Tianjin to continue its original mission. It is worth mentioning that Xu Chengji deliberately asked everyone to remove the red star on the military hat, so that the enemy could not immediately determine their identity (due to the rapid expansion of the army, the Red Eighth Army has not been able to dress uniformly, and only the red star cockade can show their identity), and they will even think that they have encountered bandits

"What a Xu Chengji, he thought of everything I thought, and he also thought of what I didn't expect, isn't it too condescending to let him only lead a special operations team of more than 1,000 people?" , Hu Weidong praised a few words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Dabie Mountain is too talented, right?" The first batch of famous generals of the four armies, such as Xu Shuai and Xu Jishen, were all first-class military wizards in China, and after they left, outstanding talents such as Xu Haidong and Wu Huanxian emerged in the Dabie Mountain base area, and after the Red 25th Army left Dabie Mountain, a number of outstanding newcomers such as Gao Jingting, Lin Weixian, Fang Yongle, and Xu Chengji grew up again."

Hu Weidong thought about it again, although the Red 15th Army, which he led single-handedly, was backed by the tactical academy that had been established long ago and had trained a group of qualified middle and low-level officers, but in the command posts above the division and brigade level, all of them who performed well were historical celebrities, and even the dozen or so old men who had joined him at the beginning were now only regimental commanders, and they were all jishu arms such as artillery regiments and engineer regiments. Comparing the two, Hu Weidong suddenly understood, "Excellent talents are only easier to stand out in difficult situations, just like the more difficult the exam papers, the easier it is for top students to widen the gap with ordinary students." The sinister environment of the Dabie Mountain base area is second to none in history, and it is the elite of the elite who persists and can develop and strengthen the troops, and this is the cruel natural choice! ”…,

Although Xu Chengji's approach was very appreciative to Hu Weidong, with more than 500 people, it was impossible to be an elite opponent of the 3,000 Japanese army, and it was hard to say how long they could be delayed. Thinking of this, Hu Weidong immediately ordered Hu Lian's 65th Regiment to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible to support them, and let it hold back the Japanese army for two days.

Hu Lian led his troops to leave Fengtai, but the telegraph operator received a telegram from the Red First Army, and Hu Weidong was overjoyed when he saw it, "I didn't expect them to build the field airfield so quickly!" ”

The Jin-Cha-Ji base area has an airfield, which means that the Red Army Air Force in Luoyang can be transferred to the Taihang Mountains, so that it is possible for them to provide air support to the Red 15 th Army in the Pingjin area, and in addition, Gao Zhihang and other outstanding pilots are all excited after learning that the Red 15 th Army has completely annihilated a Japanese brigade, and now most of them have joined the Red Army, so that the Red Army Air Corps can guarantee that every plane, including the training plane, can be assigned pilots even if they are not counted as trainees. With the support of the air force, Hu Weidong was not so afraid of the Japanese air raids, he calculated the marching speed of the enemy and the distance between the various locations, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind, "Political commissar, Lao Su, I plan to take an independent division to attack Tianjin now, Hu Lian's mission remains the same, Xu Chengji and they immediately infiltrated Tianjin City to standby, and at the same time ordered Luoyang's flight regiment to immediately enter the Jinchaji field airfield on standby, When the work here is basically over, you will immediately bring the rest of the troops to Tianjin to join me, and we will have a big game! ”

Su Yu, who has always been bold in this regard, naturally raised his hands in favor, while Zhang Hao, a political commissar who is cautious by nature and has a strong sense of principle, has reservations, "It is better to ask the central authorities for instructions on such a big action, not to mention that although our 15 th Army has very strong combat effectiveness, it now has only more than 100,000 people, and we not only have to deal with the Japanese army, but also have to guard against the Kuomintang army stabbing in the back." ”
