"You're right! Immediately ordered the 2nd Battalion Headquarters to gather and follow me to Lijia Town, and the other troops were stationed at the regimental headquarters and nearby garrisons. Chief of Staff, you take the rest of the troops to stay at the regimental headquarters and keep an eye on the movements of the confronting Japanese troops at any time. Chu Yunfei looked at the sand table in front of him, pondered for a while, and soon ordered Fang Ligong, the chief of staff of the regiment.

When Fang Ligong heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Think twice, you are the commander of my 358th regiment and the pillar of my 358th regiment." Qian Bojun in Lijiazhen had already shown signs of instability, and this time Qian Bojun suddenly sent a report saying that they were attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong, and the authenticity of the contents of the emergency message was not yet known. If Tuanzuo personally led the troops to Lijia Town, I am afraid that something unexpected. It's better to let the humble post take the 2nd battalion to Lijia Town for reinforcements, and see the situation, Tuanzao! ”。

"Haha, I, Chu Yunfei, have never flinched from fighting. What's more, although Qian Bojun's department has signs of instability, it has not yet rebelled against our Jin Sui army. This time, I personally took the 2nd Battalion to Lijia Town, and I can also see what the situation is. What's more, the 2nd Battalion also has more than 1,500 horses, which is enough to cope with the situation. Rest assured, Chief of Staff! You led your troops to garrison the regimental headquarters, alerted the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side, and contacted me through the radio at any time if there was a situation. Chu Yunfei waved his hand indifferently and said, joke, why should he Chu Yunfei worry about Qian Bojun's small actions?

Fang Ligong thought of the strength of the 2nd Battalion, and from the content of Qian Bojun's urgent telegram, it seemed that the 1st Battalion under Qian Bojun's control had suffered heavy casualties at this time. This shows that perhaps the situation is really as Qian Bojun said, and the unauthorized attack of the Eighth Route Army troops under the command of Li Yunlong caused heavy casualties to Qian Bojun's troops.

At this time, Chu Yunfei led the 2nd Battalion to reinforce Lijia Town, no matter what the situation was, Chu Yunfei had the power to protect himself.

So Lieutenant Colonel Fang Ligong nodded and said, "Yes, Tuanza!" ”。

"Good!" Chu Yunfei said a word, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 358th Regiment to assemble and rushed in the direction of Lijiazhen to the east.

Soon, from the headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, a team was driven out and marched in a hurry to reinforce in the direction of Lijiazhen.

Just when Chu Yunfei was puzzled, the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the Jinsui Army of the Belt Department hurriedly marched to reinforce Lijiazhen, and the battle of Lijiazhen had already started at this time.

In Lijia Town, the location of the Qian Bojun artillery battalion south of the town, a huge cloud of mushrooms of martyrdom suddenly rose over the artillery positions of the rebels.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!!!"

The huge explosion caused the artillery and shells on the rebel artillery positions to blow up. The rebel artillery soldiers did not have time to dodge, and were crushed by the explosion of the shells.

The sudden explosion of Lijiazhen was about to shake up.

With such a great power of martyrdom, even Qian Bojun's command headquarters hiding in the town felt it for the first time.

"It's not good, there's something going on in the artillery battalion, go out and have a look!" Qian Bojun's eyes were red to death, and he shouted at Zhang Fugui, the deputy battalion commander beside him.

Zhang Fugui rushed out of the headquarters and rushed back in less than a minute.

"The barracks, the artillery battalion encountered a sneak attack by an enemy army, all the artillery was blown up, and the artillery was finished!" Zhang Fugui wanted to cry without tears and said to Qian Bojun urgently.

Qian Bojun almost fell when he heard this, but fortunately, the guards on the side helped the dog traitor.

"How is that possible? What do the guys in the artillery battalion do to eat? O cannon of labor! ”

At this time, without waiting for Qian Bojun to continue to distinguish the angry scolding, the outer defensive line position north of Lijia Town suddenly became fierce.

"Report to the sir, there are a large number of enemy troops storming the positions to the north. We were attacked by the enemy, and looking at the style of the opponent's uniform, it seemed to be the troops of the Eighth Route Army! What to do? We are almost overwhelmed, and the troops on the northern flank are asking for artillery support! Without waiting for Qian Bojun to send someone out to investigate the sudden sound of gunfire, a rebel soldier with a panicked look stumbled to the headquarters and said to Qian Bojun.

I saw that not only Qian Bojun, but all the rebel officers and high-ranking officers in the rebel command looked at each other, and immediately became frightened.

"It's not good, camp, maybe Li Yunlong's troops who attacked Pinglu have already marched south in a hurry to attack my Lijia Town!" Qian Bojun's deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui realized in an instant that this might be Li Yunlong's new regiment attacking Lijiazhen in the south.

Thinking about it, the more than 300 rebel soldiers who defected outside the north of Pinglu City must have already told Li Yunlong about their own situation. With Zhang Fugui's understanding of the new group, Li Yunlong will not let go of himself.

Qian Bojun also thought of it quickly, and immediately became frightened. Li Yunlong's new regiment's combat strength, he has already been taught in Pinglu, that is an elite unit, and the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army under his 1st battalion are probably not the opponents of the other party.

What's more, most of the rebel soldiers are panicked at the moment, and many rebel soldiers are very dissatisfied with Qian Bojun's sudden decision to join the Japanese army. Now that the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong is attacking fiercely, maybe just like outside the north of Pinglu City, there are rebel soldiers who surrender to Li Yunlong's troops!

"Damn, order all the troops to counterattack on the spot, relying on the existing fortifications to withstand the onslaught of Li Yunlong's troops. Zhang Fugui! Qian Bojun said anxiously to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui immediately stood up and said, "Camp!" Humble! ”。

"You immediately bring 1 company to reinforce the northern flank, and you must defend the only northern flank road into the town! Having held the north, we have time to wait for the reinforcements of Chu Yunfei's army! Just go! Qian Bojun pointed to the map with a gloomy face and ordered Zhang Fugui.

Although the terrain of Lijiazhen is not very dangerous, if Li Yunlong's troops want to capture Lijiazhen, they can only break through the blockade of the defensive position on the north flank of Lijiazhen before they can enter the town. The terrain on the east and west flanks of the town is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Li Yunlong's large army cannot bypass it in the south.

Therefore, Qian Bojun transferred part of his troops to reinforce the positions in the north and blocked Li Yunlong's onslaught.

"Yes, Camp!" Zhang Fugui also understood that once Li Yunlong's troops invaded Lijia Town, their rebels who had defected to the Japanese army would inevitably be killed by Li Yunlong.

Zhang Fugui took the order and hurried away, while Qian Bojun turned his head and ordered a rebel staff officer at the headquarters, "Immediately send a telegram to Chu Yunfei urging you to inform Li Yunlong's new regiment to storm Lijiazhen and wantonly attack friendly troops, and ask the regiment to speed up the march and reinforce my 1st battalion!" Fast! ”。

"Yes, sir!" The rebel staff officer nodded, and immediately rushed away.

And just when Qian Bojun dispatched troops to defend Lijia Town and resist Li Yunlong's onslaught, Chu Yunfei's troops rushed to send a battalion of reinforcements from the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, and came over for nearly 27 minutes to rush to the mountain road less than 2,000 meters west of Lijia Town.
