The captain of the devil brigade was also blinded by the sudden firepower!

It wasn't until the cavalry squadron began to retreat that he reacted: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, there is still a line of defense behind the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, relying on the defense line built by Zhuangzi, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns are also arranged, we are fooled!" ”

"The mortar squadron immediately set up all the guns and fired at the machine gun positions behind the Eighth Route Army, blowing up all the Eighth Route Army there and destroying all the light and heavy firepower!"

The mortar parts are all tied to the mule horse, the parts are concentrated, assembled, and aimed, it takes time!

At this time, the cavalry squadron on which he had high hopes was tormented by the fierce fire counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, people were killed every moment, and the formation of the cavalry squadron became shorter and shorter, and the number of troops became smaller and smaller!

The captain saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, constantly urging the artillery to speed up!

After the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region arrived, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The deputy commander-in-chief was directly woken up from his sleep by his old partner!

"Boss, good news, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has just won a big victory!"

The deputy commander-in-chief subconsciously replied: "The ambush battle organized by their first division is over!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he reacted, shook his head and replied: "No, I remember that the ambush battle in the first division has not started yet!" ”

The deputy chief of staff did not hide it, and immediately replied: "It is related to their first division, but it is not an ambush battle as you think of the boss, it is another battle, and it is an unexpected joy!" ”

"In order to break the heavy sweep of the Japanese army against them, the 1st Division Independent Regiment gathered the main force to jump out of the encirclement and attack Lingqiu City, intending to force the little devils to sweep the troops and retreat and relieve the siege of the soldiers and civilians in the base area!!"

"In the end, they not only knocked down Lingqiu City, but also accidentally captured the commander of the Major General Brigade who came to the front line to command the battle!"

"In addition, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region reported that they have agreed to an operational plan of the Independent Regiment, intending to use Lingqiu as the center and the Independent Regiment as a bait to attract other Japanese puppet army sweeping troops to attack them and retaliate against them, so as to disrupt the devil's sweeping plan for the entire Jin-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and reduce the counter-sweeping pressure of the military and civilians in the base area!"

"They sent a telegram, hoping that the headquarters would cooperate with them to put on a show, and by the way, they asked Chongqing to give the independent regiment a formal establishment, which would be more conducive to our anti-Japanese fight against the devil!"

"At the same time, we can also refute the fallacy of some people in Chongqing who say that our Eighth Route Army is guerrilla but not attacking, and secretly developing forces, and justify our Eighth Route Army!"

The expression on the boss's face is very complicated!

The three things that the deputy chief of staff just mentioned are all on their own hearts without exception, and they are all problems that the Eighth Route Army is facing now and must solve!

At first it was excitement, then shock, now seriousness!

All three issues are too important, and each one needs to be treated carefully and then solved!

After taking the telegram handed over by the chief of staff, he read it carefully before the boss spoke!

"It's a good idea to sacrifice the independent regiment and reduce the anti-sweeping pressure of the military and civilians in the entire base area!"

"Although it is unfair to the Independent Regiment, their sacrifice is worth it, and I believe that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment will definitely understand their importance!"

The deputy chief of staff said: "Boss, this plan was first proposed by Li Hao, the head of the independent regiment, he must understand what this means to them, and he must be ready to sacrifice at any time!" ”

"Okay, since it was proposed by the independent regiment itself, and it plans to sacrifice itself to complete the entire Jinchaji base area, then I also agree!"

The deputy chief of staff had already agreed to this plan in his heart, and immediately replied: "I will call back to the military district immediately, and the headquarters agrees with their plan!" ”

As soon as the communications staff officer left, the deputy chief of staff continued: "Then how do we write the telegram to Chongqing!" ”

"Capturing the commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade, capturing a county town with heavy troops, and destroying the headquarters of the Little Devil Brigade, this is a great victory without any doubt!"

"What's more, Comrade Li Hao has left a hand, and he has secretly sent the captured commander of the Devil Major General Brigade back to the base area, only to declare to the outside world that he is still in Lingqiu City!"

"When the commander of the brigade of the major general they captured is safe, we have solid evidence! Even if the little devil razes Lingqiu City to the ground with the idea of destroying corpses and destroying traces, it is impossible to hide this defeat, and there is no reason for Chongqing to say that our Eighth Route Army falsely reported its exploits and did not give us a reward! ”

The boss wrinkled his brows and thought about the various effects that the whole thing might bring to the Eighth Route Army!

It took a full five minutes before he asked the chief of staff: "If I remember correctly, our Eighth Route Army headquarters has the right to appoint cadres below the regimental level, and there is no need to report to the war zone and Chongqing!" ”

"Yes, boss, officers of the rank of major can appoint themselves!"

"When you reach the rank of lieutenant colonel, you need to report to the war zone and Chongqing for the record!"

The boss slowly showed a smile on his serious face, and then made a decision: "Then we will give Comrade Li Hao the rank of major, and the official position is the commander of the independent battalion of the 686th regiment!" ”

Seeing his old partner frowning, he didn't react yet. Hurriedly explained: "I understand the meaning of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and give Comrade Li Hao an official report to Chongqing, which can prevent Chongqing from using our Eighth Route Army to expand its troops privately!" ”

"That's it. Chongqing wants to reward Li Hao, which is nothing more than a promotion of military ranks and expansion of troops! ”

"Capture the commander of the Major General Brigade, this combat achievement is too great, and the two commendations must be convincing at the same time!"

"However, Chongqing has too strict control over the establishment of our Eighth Route Army, no matter how great the combat achievements are, the army will be expanded by one level from the sky, no matter how high it is, don't even think about it!"

"In the telegram of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, only Li Hao was given the rank of captain, if he reported to Chongqing, according to Chongqing's style, at most Li Hao was given the position of major battalion commander, and then casually gave the establishment of an independent battalion, it is better than nothing, what a loss!"

"If you report according to the major battalion commander, if Chongqing wants to limit our establishment, then it will also give us the position of lieutenant colonel and regiment commander!"

"Our Eighth Route Army has so many main regiments, one radish and one pit, and there is no place for Li Hao at all!"

"It is impossible for Chongqing to give a lieutenant colonel in name only, in that case, there is no way to convince the public! No matter how unwilling you are at that time, you can only give us another regiment of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The deputy chief of staff's eyes lit up and replied: "I agree!" ”

"Boss, your trick is too powerful. directly blocked all the back roads that Chongqing might think of. forced Chongqing to have to give us another regiment of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"And as soon as this commendation telegram came out, some people in Chongqing slandered our Eighth Route Army: what kind of guerrilla does not attack, what kind of secretly develops power...... These rumors will be self-defeating! ”

The boss nodded in affirmation: "This is the result I want!" ”

"Deputy Chief of Staff, immediately put into words what I just said, report to Yan'an for instructions first, and then report directly to Chongqing and the Second World War Zone Command if there is no problem!"

"Also, this is also propaganda of our Eighth Route Army. A great opportunity to enhance the prestige of our Eighth Route Army! ”

"If the Jinchaji Military Region wants to use the independent regiment as a bait to attract many Japanese puppet troops to kill Lingqiu, it also needs our propaganda!"

"Let's draft a clear code telegram to Yan'an, and send it after confirming that there is no problem!"

"I want our Eighth Route Army not to make a splash!"

"In addition, tell the Jinchaji Military Region that the ambush battle prepared by their first division will start as soon as possible, and they must win!"

"If our Eighth Route Army can win successive battles on the battlefield and win two big battles in a row, Chongqing will have nothing to say at all, and in the future, no one will say that our Eighth Route Army is swimming but not attacking, fighting devils is fake, and secretly developing strength is true!"
