Two suicides in a row were unsuccessful, and Izawa was dumbfounded and became overwhelmed. Tian Chengyou thought that he finally didn't have to bear the responsibility for the defeat, and secretly rejoiced. In order to prevent Izawa from looking for a short time again, he hurriedly said: "Izawa-kun, this must be the will of Amaterasu!" Please command us to break out of the encirclement and make another meritorious service for Your Majesty! ”

Jing Ze didn't know if Lu Dao really had divine will, anyway, he was embarrassed to commit suicide for the third time. The squad that served as the spearhead of the Japanese army bought a little time for the remnants of Izawa at the cost of all their deaths. Izawa Nakasa took the opportunity to command the remnants to hold on to the terrain. Because the sky was getting dark, it was somewhat unfavorable for the attack, and the opposing troops seemed unwilling to attack, and the battle situation was deadlocked.

It was also the troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army - the 771st Regiment of the 386th Brigade that blocked the Japanese army.

The battalion commander in charge of the main attack said: "Regiment commander, the devils don't have heavy machine guns, if we rush hard, we will definitely be able to take the position." ”

The regiment commander shook his head and said, "Looking at the situation of the devils, most of them have suffered defeat in the fourth district. Now the initiative is ours, there is no need to fight with the devil. ”

The cadres of the 129th Division were deeply influenced by Division Commander Liu, and Division Commander Liu paid the most attention to strategy in commanding operations. He once told his subordinates that a commander should not equate himself with a charging soldier. Because you also have to call the shots, which is the difference between success and failure. It is not enough to have the courage of Lu Bu and the fierceness of Xiahou, but also the strategy of the ovary and the wisdom of Kong Ming.

Influenced by this point of view, the officers of the 129th Division developed the habit of fighting with strategy, and often fought some beautiful battles. The current situation is like this, and the commander of the 771st regiment, Xu Corps, keenly perceived the enemy's situation and made the correct decision to wait for work.

As Commander Xu expected, not long after the standoff, gunshots rang out behind the Japanese army - the 769th Regiment was killed. The abdomen and back are under the enemy, not to mention Jing Ze, who has suicidal tendencies, even Tian Chengyou, who has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, wants to commit suicide.

At this time, the new traitor Zhang Youde found Jing Ze with a frightened face and said, "Taijun, I know that there is a way to escape!" ”

Jing Ze was really angry when he saw Zhang Youde, if it wasn't for this person sending false information, why would he have fallen to this point? Jing Ze grabbed Zhang Youde and scolded angrily: "Baga, it's you!" It's you who lead the donkey! After scolding, Jing Ze was still angry, and he was about to split Zhang Youde alive when he untied his saber.

Zhang Youde was stupid and said, "Taijun, there is no donkey, you let me come up and lead it?" ”

When Tian Chengyou heard that there was a way to escape, he hurriedly stopped Jing Ze and said, "Jing Zejun, maybe he can really take us away." ”

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the attacking troops on both sides did not notice that a few devils had sneaked away. Even if you find it, it will be difficult to catch it all, after all, there are many places to hide in the wilderness.

After the 769 Regiment arrived, Regiment Commander Xu hurriedly ordered the commander to get in touch with them, so the 769 Regiment quickly learned about the situation on the other side, and I have to say that this is a good way to communicate on the battlefield.

The commander reported: "Regiment commander, opposite is the 771st regiment. ”

Head Chen smiled: "Is Lao Xu here?" Let's go, we'll go! "At this time, all the remnants of the enemy have been annihilated, and the soldiers are busy cleaning up the battlefield.

When Regiment Commander Chen and the others passed, Regiment Commander Xu was leading the soldiers around to search for something. When he saw Regiment Commander Chen and them coming, he quipped: "Okay, you little steel cannon, and you have become a fine man, and you have beaten away a brigade of devils with a regiment!" "The little steel cannon is the nickname of Commander Chen, to show his bravery in battle. However, looking at its command and operation, it fights more skillful battles, and the evaluation of the small steel cannon is not comprehensive enough.

Head Chen was a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said, "Lao Xu, what are you doing?" You still want to draw a map! In order to protect him, Commander-in-Chief Xu transferred him to the headquarters as a staff officer, responsible for drawing military maps. His comrades-in-arms often joked about this.

Head Xu said angrily: "Draw a fart!" Let the captain of the devil escape! ”

Head Chen said: "Ah! Hurry up, look around, I don't believe he got into the hole! ”

So the soldiers of the two regiments searched together, not only along the road, but also in the vicinity of the battlefield to conduct carpet inspections. Unfortunately, I didn't find it until it was completely dark.

The people of the fourth district also rushed over at this time. They were not trained for long marches, and gradually fell behind in pursuit. But they have been working in the fields for many years, and they are particularly able to endure hardships, and they all gritted their teeth and insisted on rushing over with a deep hatred for the devil. In order to search for the rout of the devils, they also brought a large number of hunting dogs, and every time they found a devil, they were beaten to death. Even if the Eighth Route Army catches it first, it can't be killed. His iron-blooded style and cruel methods shocked the two regiment commanders of the Eighth Road.

Head Xu looked at it for a long time in a daze, and said, "Little steel cannon, these fellows were all recruited by you?" ”

Head Chen smiled and said, "I'm here to recruit you!" ”

Seeing that the soldiers and civilians were still searching for the remnants of the devils, Commander Xu said in a low voice: "Isn't this okay?" Wait a minute, what should we say? ”

Head Chen was a little helpless and said, "You also said that those are fellow villagers, they want to kill, how can we stop them?" You can't fight with your own people! Besides, this matter should be in the hands of the political commissar, what do I care? ”

This happened to be heard by the commissar. The political commissar said: "You have two words less, I am having a headache about this!" ”

Commander Xu deliberately twisted his head to the side, pretending not to see anything, and said, "I don't know anything anyway, but out of the basket, don't think that I will say good things to you." ”

The political commissar couldn't laugh when he heard this, but Regiment Leader Chen laughed.

How could several main regiments of the 129th Division suddenly rush to Ping'an County for reinforcements? This starts with Zheng Weiguo leading his troops to come back from Shanxi. When they were desperately rushing back, the headquarters of the 129th Division also received a letter from Wang Da asking for help. After urgent discussion, Division Commander Liu decided to personally lead the main force of the division to come over for reinforcements. There were four regiments in the official establishment of the 129th Division, but the 770th Regiment remained in northern Shaanxi, and only three regiments came to Shanxi. The Nagano Wing was notorious, and Division Commander Liu was worried that he would not be able to control it if there were fewer troops, so he brought all three main regiments over.

Since the main force led by Zheng Weiguo and the 129th Division were both in Shanxi, and they were both rushing in the same direction, they naturally ran into each other halfway.

At that time, Li Fugui's platoon, which was in charge of searching and advancing, collided head-on with a cavalry platoon of the 129th Division. Due to the high level of vigilance on both sides, they almost started to move when encountered. Fortunately, this platoon happened to participate in the operation to receive supplies, and both sides knew each other.

Knowing that most of the 129th Division was coming to help, Zheng Weiguo hurriedly rushed to the intersection to greet him. From a distance, I saw Division Commander Liu and his entourage coming, and the one who walked in front of him wearing glasses was Division Commander Liu, although he was a soldier, he looked very elegant. Master Liu was followed by a person, also wearing glasses, but his temperament was completely different, and he looked very spirited. Needless to say, this person is the famous 386 Brigade Commander Chen. Then there were no very familiar faces, and it is estimated that the other leaders of the 129th Division did not come with other important tasks.

Seeing that Division Commander Liu and the others were approaching, Zheng Weiguo hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Division Commander Liu, I am Zheng Weiguo, the head of the security regiment. I didn't expect you to personally lead the reinforcements this time, and I would like to express my most sincere thanks to your ministry on behalf of the military and civilians of Ping'an County. ”

Division Commander Liu looked at Zheng Weiguo and said with a smile: "Needless to say, thank you, we are friendly troops!" Captain Zheng, do you know me? ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I used to see your photo in the newspapers of the Kuomintang, who didn't know the famous Chief of the General Staff of the Red Army!" ”

When they heard this, they all laughed and said that they would like to thank Chairman Jiang for his propaganda. Brigade Commander Chen squeezed forward, squeezed his eyes at Zheng Weiguo and said, "Then do you know who I am?" ”

Zheng Weiguo knew that Brigade Commander Chen liked to be funny the most, so he deliberately said: "If you look more handsome, you will look a little like the Red Army general Chen Geng, if I guessed correctly, you are his younger brother?" ”

Chen Geng listened to Ha Lu's laughter and said, "Okay, you Zheng Weiguo, you dare to tease me!" ”

Master Liu also smiled and said, "Chen Geng, you narrow ghost, you have also tasted the taste of being teased today!" ”

Chen Geng smiled disappreliantly, and said to Zheng Weiguo: "Commander Zheng, oh no, it should actually be called Brigade Commander Zheng." I heard that you made a lot of noise in Taiyuan this time? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled bitterly: "The news has no feet, but it is faster than my feet!" Ahem, don't mention this brigade commander, I'm afraid it won't last long! ”

Chen Geng quipped: "You are self-aware. If it weren't for the distance, Chief Yan would have sent someone to get you. I've heard that Chief Yan vomited blood on the spot when he learned that the arsenal had been bombed! ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said: "Chief Yan still has merit in governing Shanxi, I have been circling around in Shanxi for such a day, and the people's lives are much better than Hebei." It's a pity that Chief Yan is in a corner of peace and has no long-term vision, so he always has some unrealistic plans. The arsenal is the enemy if it falls into the hands of the devil, and although it is a pity to blow it up, I don't regret it! ”

Chen Geng patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to have such insight!" ”

Division Commander Liu was also very emotional when he heard it, and praised Zheng Weiguo twice.

The two armies then joined forces and quickly drove towards the eighth district of Ping'an County, and when they reached Qiliba, they received news that the Jingze brigade was attacking westward.

Division Commander Liu keenly inspected the fighter planes and said, "If the Jingze Brigade guards the county seat of Ping'an and has the Nagano Wing on our side, we really have no good way. But now that they are alone, we are sure to fight a war of annihilation. ”

Zheng Weiguo also agrees with this view. The Izawa Brigade is just over 1,000 people, and the three regiments of the 129th Division plus the four main battalions of the Security Regiment are more than 8,000 people, which is eight times that of the Japanese army.

Not only did the troops have an advantage, but the firepower was also stronger than that of the Japanese army. A brigade of the Japanese army only has two infantry guns and 12 heavy machine guns, while the security regiment now has two infantry guns, two flat-fire sniper guns, and more than a dozen heavy machine guns. Plus the 129th Division also had six mortars, a dozen heavy machine guns. Taken together, the two armies can be said to have an absolute advantage.

Of course, the Japanese army was somewhat stronger in terms of training and tactical execution. But they didn't know that such a powerful army was already eyeing them. If you have a mental calculation or no intention, the devil will inevitably suffer a big loss. It can be said that as long as the Japanese army entered the Taihang Mountains, one foot stepped into the Ghost Gate.

Since the commanders of the two armies reached a consensus, the two sides discussed a specific combat plan.

If you don't die, Zheng Weiguo came up with a bad idea. After reading the previous article, everyone should also know the way - he suggested that the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army attack in three ways. The north road to the 4th district to converge with the 2nd Independent Battalion and then go south, the middle road lures the enemy to go deeper, and the south road goes around to the 6th District to converge with the 3rd Independent Battalion and the 4th Independent Battalion and then go north, so as to achieve a three-sided flank attack on the Izawa Brigade.

Division Commander Liu said: "Based on our experience in fighting the Japanese army, there is no absolute certainty that the four regiments want to completely annihilate one brigade. If the troops are divided, the effect may be even worse. ”

Zheng Weiguo introduced the terrain in this area, and then said: "If the Jingze brigade is in the county seat, it is indeed not easy to annihilate them, but it will be much easier for them to fight if they enter the Taihang Mountains." The only thing to worry about is that they are desperately breaking through to the east, or the main force of the Nagano United in Tongping Prefecture will come to reinforce them. If two main regiments block and block the border between the 8th and 5th districts, they will be sure to completely annihilate the enemy. ”

Because Zheng Weiguo had a glorious record of annihilating a brigade of devils, Division Commander Liu thought about it for a while and agreed to this plan. The troops then divided their troops, the 769th Regiment went straight to the 4th District, the 772nd Regiment went to the 6th District, and the main force of the Security Regiment, the 771st Regiment and the 129th Division headquarters drove towards the county seat, preparing to lure the enemy into the ravine of the Eighth District and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

On the way to the county seat, they happened to meet a messenger sent back by Zhang Changgui, and learned that the Japanese army had not attacked the eighth district, but had gone to the fourth district. In this way, Zheng Weiguo's plan fell through. The annihilation of the Izawa Brigade in the Eighth District, which was previously envisaged, could not be realized. Division Commander Liu thought twice and decided to continue to advance eastward to eliminate the remaining troops of the Jingze Brigade in the county seat, and then go north to attack the main force of the Jingze Brigade with the 769th Regiment.
