887th Regiment of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong's Division.
The head of the regiment, Li Yunlong, yelled at the phone: "Zhang Dabiao, don't you know Lao Tzu's temper?" No matter how tenacious the little devil in Jize County is, you have to conquer it for me! β
After a pause, he said: "I don't care how many light and heavy machine guns and cannons the little devil has, you have to resist the pressure on me, and you should put up the supplies of the Japanese army in the few counties we just captured!" β
"I still say that, don't worry about the ammunition, you just ran out, and I don't blame you."
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll give you 20 minutes, if you can't take Jize County again, don't be the deputy head of the regiment!"
Zhang Dabiao's voice came from the phone, "Yes, regiment leader, I promise to complete the task!" β
After putting down the phone, Li Yunlong's face was full of solemnity.
After the 887 Regiment took the three county towns of Guangping, Cheng'an, and Feixiang in one fell swoop, even if it showed a trend of swallowing whales, it swept through several county towns such as Guantao, Qiu County, and Linzhang.
Victory is coming!
But who wanted to be at the last moment, the 887th Regiment was met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese army.
In particular, the Japanese army in Jize County resisted to a degree far beyond Li Yunlong's imagination.
The reason for the setback in Jize County was because of the desperate counterattack of the Japanese army;
Second, it is also because of the continuous battles of the 887 Regiment, and the physical strength of the soldiers has seriously been unable to keep up.
High-intensity continuous battles, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which can't keep up with nutrition in this era, even the Chinese army in later generations can't continue to fight with such a high intensity!
One's eyes are bigger than one's stomach.!
Li Yunlong turned his head and asked the guard Monk Wei, "Monk, has the latest battle situation in Quzhou County come here?" β
At this moment, compared with the fierce battle situation in Jize County, Li Yunlong thought that Bacheng in Quzhou County had also encountered a similar situation.
Monk Wei said in a deep voice: "Regiment commander, the situation in Quzhou County is not good, Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi concentrated the strength of two battalions, launched three strong attacks in a company, and failed to break through the city defense of Quzhou County. β
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong slammed the table angrily.
Monk Wei saw Li Yunlong's worries and comforted: "Regiment Commander, you don't have to worry too much, although our army is blocked in Jize County and Quzhou County, but judging from the current battle situation, it is a matter of time before we take the county seat of the little devil!" β
A matter of timing?
"Huh!"
Li Yunlong smiled bitterly: "Monk, do you still know the time problem?" Where do we have extra time now, the Japanese army in Xingtai will arrive when it comes to it, if we can't take Jize County and Quzhou County at that time, it's not good that the dumplings are not eaten but will be rounded by the little devils. β
"This, this~~~!"
For a while, Monk Wei was speechless, and his heart was very shocked.
Time!
Where is the extra time?
Unless the Japanese army on the Xingtai side is intercepted!
~~~~~
~~~~~~~~
Leading guerrilla command post.
"Captain, Li Yunlong's department was stubbornly counterattacked by the Japanese army, and the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to our army, once the Japanese army from Xingtai arrives, then our army will fall into a place of no return!" Instructor Li Dakang said in a deep voice.
Between the words, I was full of anxiety about the battle situation at this time.
The soldiers in the command post were also worried.
For a while, Ouyang's expression became extremely solemn.
At this moment, there was a thought, or hope, in Ouyang's heart.
"Once the Japanese army on the Xingtai side takes action, then it is impossible for the other units of our Eighth Route Army near it to sit idly by!" Ouyang thought so.
This point was considered when Ouyang formulated the plan to attack the ten counties in eastern Handan.
Because of his current status, he is no longer the brigade commander of the 512th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, but just a small guerrilla captain, and his voice is far less than before.
Therefore, Ouyang did not note the various units of our Eighth Route Army in Xingtai during this action.
Although there was no note to the various departments of our army, the Eighth Route Army stationed in the Xingtai area was Ouyang's old unit, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, the division headquarters of the 129th Division is now in the westernmost part of Xingtai, and all the units of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Xingtai area are subordinate to the 129th Division.
Ouyang judged: "If I fight such a big battle, I don't believe that the teacher will be indifferent!" β
At this moment, Ye Cunxin walked in quickly, and there was good news.
-- The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army has moved!
Ye Cunxin was overjoyed and said, "Captain, this is a message from the teacher. β
At that moment, Ouyang took the message and looked at it quickly.
Sure enough, everything was as he expected, Liu Bocheng, the commander of the 129th Division, the old leader of Ouyang, really made a move.
As soon as they struck, the strength of two regiments set up many obstacles in the area from Shahe to Jize County, and intercepted the Japanese reinforcements of nearly 5,000 people!
Ouyang shook his fist fiercely and shouted "Okay"!
Li Dakang, the instructor on the side, also laughed, really relieved.
Without the Japanese reinforcements in the Xingtai area, Li Yunlong's troops would have enough time to launch a strong attack on the last two remaining county seats.
But at this moment, the bad news came.
ββThe Japanese reinforcements in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, joined the Handan battlefield!
A fully formed Japanese cavalry with more than 3,000 troops!
"Damn it!" Ouyang scolded secretly.
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese cavalry of more than 3,000 people is simply unimaginable!
Ye Cunxin said eagerly: "If we don't intercept the Japanese cavalry wing, then our army will be in danger of being wiped out!" β
Li Dakang also said: "According to the telegram information of the 115th Division Independent Regiment, the regiment commander Liu Zhen has personally led his troops north to Guantao County, and is trying to completely intercept the Japanese army in Guantao County, but judging from the speed of the Japanese army's march, this possibility is really not large!" β
Once the Japanese cavalry wing of more than 3,000 people enters the Handan battlefield, then all the current good situation will be in vain!
Ouyang immediately gave a decisive order: "Pass my order, order Yang Liqing and Xiaozhuang to immediately abandon Cixian County and quickly retreat east!" β
Give up Ci County!
Once our army is unable to effectively intercept the Japanese cavalry wing in Guantao County, then Yang Liqing and others, who are still sticking to Cixian County, will definitely die without a place to be buried.
For now, there is only one way to retreat.
Although Ouyang was unwilling, this was also a decision of last resort.
After the order was issued, Ouyang said again: "Now that we continue to stay here, it is no longer useful, and it is time for us to go to Guantao County." β
The deterrent power of the Japanese cavalry wing is too big.
After Ye Cunxin and Li Dakang left, Ouyang's heart was also very heavy.
The situation has developed to the point where it is no longer possible to solve it by conventional means, let alone the command of Ouyang, or the commander of the division, Liu Bocheng, who personally commands it, it is useless.
"Looks like we have to rely on the summoning system now!" Ouyang's eyes burned and he stared straight ahead.
If he couldn't extract good things, Ouyang could only give Li Yunlong's subordinates an order to retreat.
If you retreat now, although you can save your own forces to the greatest extent, the county towns you have captured will change hands again, and at the same time, there will be no time to transport the materials and weapons and equipment that have been captured.
In this way, the benefits of this battle will be greatly reduced; The influence caused by this battle will also be weakened by half!
Another point is that it is impossible for our army to lay a solid foundation for resisting Japan in the ten counties east of Handan, which is extremely unfavorable for dealing with the Japanese army's sweep in the future.
At the same time, if this battle lays a solid foundation, it will be extremely beneficial for Ouyang to complete the task of attacking Handan City.
That's a mission related to the peerless god "Bismarck"!
The most important thing is that the blood of the warriors cannot be shed in vain!
"System, come out!"
The fourth watch of "" is completed, asking for support.
