Chapter 368: Encounter Spirit Realm
Liao Fan had already learned from the communication corps that the headquarters was attacked by the little devil spies, and when he heard that the situation was under control, Liao Fan also relaxed slightly. After learning that the special combat team had also captured a Japanese spy, Liao Fan was very happy, because as long as there were living spies, Liao Fan or the special operations team would always have a way to make him speak.
When he returned to the headquarters, it was already noon, Huang Changsheng didn't know that Liao Fan would come back at noon today, he was eating cold steamed buns in the headquarters, and he had come over like this in the past two days.
"How's the situation with the troops at the front?" When Liao Fan walked into the command headquarters, the first thing he asked was the situation of the combat troops at the front.
Huang Changsheng heard the voice and knew that Liao Fan was back, and then put the cold steamed bun into his pocket: "The troops are going well, especially Li Weimin's second regiment took advantage of the little devil's unpreparedness to take Yuxian, and the little devil can now ignore Ma Wanzhong's group." Huang Changsheng briefly introduced the situation ahead.
"What about last night?" Liao Fan continued to ask.
Huang Changsheng knew that Liao Fan was asking about the spy: "A teacher at the school was slightly injured and was sent to the hospital last night, and the special combat team captured a leading Japanese spy, who was a second lieutenant, Yan Xuelin is already interrogating, and it is estimated that there will be results in a while." ”
Liao Fan nodded, didn't say anything, then turned to Lu Liming and said, "Escort the people we brought back to the cave, and when Yan Xuelin comes to the command later, hand it over to him to deal with." ”
"What about Chu Pengtian?" Liao Fan found that Chu Pengtian was not at the headquarters, and then asked Huang Changsheng.
"I should sleep next door, I came back a little late last night, and half of it is Chu Pengtian's credit to be able to win Yuxian County." Huang Changsheng said to Chu Pengtian with a smile.
In just a few minutes, Huang Changsheng made it clear to Liao Fan the operational report on the capture of Yuxian County that Li Weimin had sent back, and as for the situation of the puppet army in Yuxian County, Li Weimin had hidden most of it.
"It seems that this kid still understands the overall situation, and after this battle is over, he will hand it over to you and his dozens of soldiers to take with him." Hearing Huang Changsheng's report, Liao Fan nodded frequently, expressing his approval of Chu Pengtian.
Just when Liao Fan was discussing Chu Pengtian with Huang Changsheng, Yan Xuelin walked into the command headquarters with a soldier, and after saluting the two, he began to report on his interrogation of Panasonic.
"Brother Fan, that's all Panasonic knows, the number of people he controls is less than half of the total number of spies, this is the list!" Yan Xuelin handed over the list to Liao Fan, and there was a long list of names on it, there were more than 50 people, plus the more than 30 people killed last night.
"These people are all lurking in a group, should we inform Captain Ma of this situation now?" Yan Xuelin suggested.
"Let Chu Pengtian do the matter of informing Ma Wanzhong, and you have to help me review a group of people." After finishing speaking, Liao Fan asked Lu Liming to take Yan Xuelin to the cave where the common people were imprisoned.
Not long after Lu Liming and Yan Xuelin left, a communications soldier came to the headquarters and handed a report to Liao Fan.
"Well, it seems that the situation of the third regiment is a bit of a crisis!" After reading the report, Liao Fan handed it to Huang Changsheng, and then asked Huang Changsheng if he had any opinions.
After reading the information, Huang Changsheng knew that this was a telegram from the three regiments requesting support, the little devil's reinforcements had arrived more than thirty miles away from the county seat, such a large-scale defense, relying on the three regiments alone to support it for so long, Hu Guoshan and Zhao Caizhu had done their best, and at this time the request for help must have encountered an emergency.
"Brother Fan, let the fourth regiment go up, although the fourth regiment lacks officers, it is not a matter for you to always protect the fourth regiment like this, you should give them a chance to hone their training." Huang Changsheng suggested.
Hearing Huang Changsheng's words, Liao Fanzhi frowned: "Do I protect the four regiments so much?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Fan, I don't know if I protect it or not, anyway, it's the best arrangement to let the fourth regiment go up now, otherwise the third regiment won't be able to withstand it, and the two days we've been busy will fall short." Huang Changsheng said.
Liao Fan thought about it, what Huang Changsheng said was the truth, now the fourth regiment is their only reserve, but what to do around the stone gate.
"If the fourth regiment goes to support the third regiment, what will happen to the area around Shimenkou, that is the key place for us to retreat to the mountain, I don't want to lose a big one because of a small one." Liao Fan asked.
"Brother Fan, there is Brother Liao staring at the stone gate, if Brother Fan still can't rest assured, let the fourth regiment leave five hundred people in the area of the stone gate, and cooperate with the artillery battalion to make no sense of being able to hold it." Huang Changsheng said.
"When did my brother go to the stone gate, why didn't he tell me?"
"When the troops set off, Brother Liao came to you for a combat mission, but you fell asleep after that time, so we discussed it and transferred the artillery battalion to the area around Shimen to strengthen the defense of Shimen." Huang Changsheng said.
"Okay, this matter will be done as you say. Let Chu Pengtian go to Pingding County to send the list of spies, and when he passed through the stone gate, let Liu Chundao lead the troops to support the third regiment. ”
After receiving the order from Chu Pengtian, Liu Chundao believed that his ears had not heard it wrong, and immediately ordered the troops to go to the front line to support the three regiments in the battle.
There was a rare silence in the defense line of Pingding County, and at noon, the cooking squad stewed a large pot of meat, although the average number of troops assigned to each soldier was to eat meat on the forward position, which was indeed another enjoyment.
However, with the arrival of Chu Pengtian, Ma Wanzhong, who had just finished eating meat, was unhappy, and more than 30 spies lurked in their group, making Ma Wanzhong break out in a cold sweat. Although more than 30 people is insignificant to a large group of nearly 7,000 people, the situation is different with such spies.
Ma Wanzhong gave an order to his guard company in front of Chu Pengtian.
"Captain Ma, don't be impatient, Brother Fan said that he should catch it alive as much as possible, and there are still things to ask." Chu Pengtian knew that Ma Wanzhong had a big temper at this time, but in order to dig out all the spies, Chu Pengtian still hoped that Ma Wanzhong would calm down.
"What else did Brother Fan say?"
"Secretly arrest you, and then hand it over to me to take with you."
Fortunately, the Japanese army did not launch an attack on the county seat of Pingding during the whole day today, and it also gave Ma Wanzhong time to arrest the spies. However, the Japanese had a day to prepare, and their large forces did not choose to go south, but to the north.
Li Weimin, who got the information in Yuxian, frowned, their strength in Yuxian was less than 2,000 at this time, and the Japanese army concentrated 5,000 troops to attack them, and Li Weimin, who originally wanted to use the cavalry battalion to make a sneak attack on the Japanese army, immediately dispelled the idea.
"Withdraw! Withdraw from Yuxian! Before the ass was hot, Li Weimin ordered the troops to start withdrawing from Qi County.
"Commander, why? It's not like we can't beat the little devils. A battalion commander asked, 2,000 men against 5,000 men, with the strong fortifications in the city, they could completely drag the Japanese army to death in Yuxian.
Li Weimin just smiled faintly, he understood the thoughts of this battalion commander very well, to be honest, he Li Weimin also wanted to fight such a battle with the little devil, but he had to be responsible for the troops.
"Even if we can drag the Japanese army of more than 5,000 people, our second regiment will inevitably be greatly damaged, this time we bypassed Wutai County, and directly took the county seat of Yuxian, although we arranged troops near Dingxiang, but it is still a lone army in depth, once surrounded by little devils, we can't retreat." Li Weimin patiently explained to his battalion commander.
"The main reason is that our operational purpose has been achieved, and the 5,000 Japanese troops have been attracted by us, and the pressure on the first regiment must be much less, so if we don't withdraw at this time, we will wait for a while."
Hearing the regiment commander's explanation, several battalion commanders suddenly realized, first put aside the purpose of the operation, this time it was a very risky thing for them to go straight from Dingxiang to Yuxian, and it was already a very lucky thing to be able to successfully take Yuxian, if they continued to stay in Yuxian, then there would be only one result, they were surrounded, and then they were eaten by the little devils little by little.
The second regiment, which had just received the news, packed up the spoils and began to retreat back, and when the sun had not yet set, the little devil arrived in Yuxian, but found that Yuxian did not even have a hair, which made the command officer of the little devil furious.
After a fierce attack on Dingxiang, the Japanese army in Dingxiang was once again broken, and after the little devil got the news, he hated the troops behind him, and decided to swear to destroy the second regiment.
The Japanese troops, who had just arrived in Yuxian and had not had time to repair, had to get into the car again and chase the tail of the second regiment towards Dingxiang. This time, the Second Regiment did not break Dingxiang like plundering the county seat of Yuxian, because there was no time at all, and the Second Regiment had to withdraw in a hurry.
When the little devils arrived in Dingxiang, they also didn't see any shadow of the second regiment, leaving them with an empty city. When the Second Regiment passed through Beitai, the Beitai garrison, which had already received the news, did not show the slightest sign of obstruction.
On this day, the second regiment successively broke Yuxian and Dingxiang, and the little devil thought that the next target of the second regiment would be Beitai. Therefore, the Japanese army in Beitai arranged a strict battle plan to prevent the Chinese army from attacking the city, but the forward observation post of the little devils, when they saw the second regiment passing by two kilometers from their position in order, issued an urgent combat order, but the result made the little devils confused, they did not encounter any attack, and the second regiment just passed by them.
More than 5,000 little devils chased the Second Regiment for a whole day, and did not find the shadow of the Second Regiment until dark, and finally the 5,000 Japanese troops were stationed in the spiritual realm to rest.
Li Weimin would never have thought that the Japanese army would spend the night in Lingjing Township, which made Li Weimin inexplicably excited.
Lingjing Township has beautiful landscapes, the mountains are criss-crossed, continuous, and there is often a strange sense of "the mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".
The reason why Li Weimin was inexplicably excited was because the second regiment was also in Lingjing Township at this time!
