Wu Feng frowned and asked, "Then what is our specific task?" Pick up a friendly breakout? ”

Liu Hong replied with a serious face: "This point was not explicitly stated in the telegram sent by the headquarters, but only asked us to support friendly forces in combat. ”

Wu Feng nodded and said, "If that's the case, it should just be a friendly breakout." After all, an independent 7th Brigade plus a 2nd Wing of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, there are about 10,000 little devils, and with our current strength, even with the assistance of friendly forces, it is impossible to defeat so many little devils. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "This is not bad, the little devils have tens of thousands of troops, with our current strength and the current situation of the Jilu Border Military Region, it is almost impossible to completely defeat this little devil." ”

Liu Hong paused slightly, then changed his words, and then said: "However, according to my estimate, the headquarters has another meaning, that is, I hope we can hold back this little devil." This second wing has always been stationed near Tianjin, responsible for guarding Tianjin, and under normal circumstances it is impossible to move far away. But this separate 7th brigade is different. ”

When Liu Hong said this, he glanced back at the map again, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and said: "Once the little devil encircles and annihilates the remnants of the Jilu Border Military Region in the Yanshan area, the war in the Jilu border area will be basically over." In this way, this independent 7th Brigade can free up its hands to attack our Jiaodong base area or Yimengshan base area. In these places, the little devils have concentrated tens of thousands of troops to sweep through the base areas of our Eighth Route Army, and the pressure on our Shandong base areas is already very great, and once this unit is put into the battlefield again, the situation will deteriorate sharply. ”

"This is definitely not alarmist!" Liu Hong continued: "If that is the case, the entire Shandong Military Region will become even more dangerous. Therefore, I think that the command ordered us to assist the Jilu Border Military Region at this time, and also hoped that we could try our best to contain this little devil, prevent them from being thrown into other battlefields, and reduce the pressure on the friendly forces in Shandong. ”

At this time, Zhao Lei said with a smile: "In this way, there is a big battle to fight this time, in this case, what else are we discussing, hurry up and gather the troops and set off!" ”

Wu Feng glanced at Zhao Lei, and said angrily: "Just if you are in a hurry, this battle is not so simple, you must plan carefully." ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "Yes, this time there is not only a big battle, but also a bad battle." The devil's army of tens of thousands of people has been divided into several roads and compressed towards Yanshan from different directions, forming a huge encirclement. It's not so easy for us to rescue the besieged allies and hold back this group of imps. To put it mildly, if you don't get it right, you might even get us into it. ”

Liu Hong said this, sighed softly, and then continued: "The telegram sent by the headquarters did not indicate the specific task, but only asked us to assist the friendly forces, and it is estimated that it is also for this consideration, in order to allow us to be flexible and avoid unnecessary losses." ”

"But!" When Liu Hong said this, his expression became more serious, and he continued: "Since our martial arts team has received the task, we must resolutely and thoroughly complete it. Even if this is not a dead order from the headquarters, we must carry it out as if it were a dead order, and we must strive to exceed the task. ”

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. The congregation responded in unison.

"Good!" Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "In view of the importance of this mission, we must also pay great attention to it, which is different from the previous when we only fought a few strongholds, so I prepared three infantry squadrons and artillery squadrons of the Wugong Corps, all of which were in battle." ”

"Great!" Zhao Lei shouted excitedly.

Bai Ling was also smiling, not nervous at all because she was about to face a vicious battle, but was faintly excited, and Zhou Wenxuan and Liang Yongsheng next to her were also bright-eyed and looking forward to it.

Only Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh, and said with a disappointed face: "It seems that I have to stay in the base area again." ”

"No~!" Liu Hong shook his head and said, "Lao Wu also went out with the main force this time?" ”

"What about the high-ranking officials? We're all gone, what should we do with Gaoguantun? In case the little devils come to attack Gaoguantun, wouldn't it be troublesome. Wu Feng hurriedly asked. It's not that Wu Feng doesn't want to go to the battlefield, it's just that he's worried about the safety of Gao Guantun, if the little devil takes the opportunity to take advantage of the old nest of the martial arts team, it will be troublesome.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "The main force of the new battalion stays in Gaoguantun, and cooperates with the militia of several surrounding villages, which should be enough to ensure the safety of Gaoguantun." Lao Wu went out with the main force, and the garrison task of Gaoguantun can be taught to Xu Zecheng, deputy commander of the new battalion, to be responsible, Lao Xu is also a veteran soldier, with rich combat experience, and calm and capable, and Lao Xu is responsible for guarding Gaoguantun, there should be no problem. ”

Xu Zecheng, who was sitting in a corner, quickly stood up when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, captain, I promise to complete the task." ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "Gaoguantun is our old nest, and guarding Gaoguantun is a heavy burden. And now the situation of Gaoguantun is also very complicated, not only do you need to protect the joint county party committee organs, but also we have nearly a thousand prisoners of the puppet army here, when the main force is there, they may not dare to make trouble, but as soon as the main force leaves, it is inevitable that these guys will make trouble, in view of the situation here is more responsible, what happens, you can discuss more with Secretary Lin. I ask you, no matter what the circumstances, not to leave the high-ranking official camp without authorization, and everything is to ensure the safety of the high-ranking official tun. ”

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. Xu Zecheng replied again.

Secretary Lin also nodded and said, "Lao Liu, although you can rest assured, our local comrades will also fully assist Deputy Battalion Commander Xu in his work and protect the safety of Gaoguantun." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded with a smile and said, "Secretary Lin, your task during this time is also very heavy!" It is not only necessary to mobilize the masses in the surrounding areas but also to establish militia organizations in the villages as soon as possible. In addition, it is troublesome for you to send some experienced political cadres to do the ideological work of those puppet army captives, and strive to convert them into our people, so as to not only strengthen our strength, but also solve this hidden danger. As for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, the local government should also speed up the trial, and we must not tolerate the execution of those who should be executed and the sentences that should be sentenced. ”

Secretary Lin smiled and nodded and said, "No problem, we will solve the problems you said as soon as possible." ”
