Looking at the telegram in his hand, Liu Hua fell into deep thought, "Order all the scouts not to let the devil's cavalry target, and also, notify the political commissar, the chief of staff will come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately." ”

Soon, the two partners came to the headquarters, and at the same time, the commissar ran in excitedly with two telegrams in his hands.

"Brigade commander, good news, the central and headquarters have called." As he spoke, he waved the telegram in his hand.

Liu Hua was stunned for a moment, and the central government called back, "Show me quickly." Liu Hua reacted immediately.

"I completely agree with the opinion of your department, and it is planned that your department will be active along the Zhengtai Road in the near future, and a large number of troops will attack and harass the enemy's logistics troops to support the frontal battlefield, but we must not engage in a frontal conflict with the army, mainly guerrilla warfare, if there is a major decisive battle, it must be reported to the headquarters for approval before it can be carried out, and in the case of disagreement with the party committee, the opinion of Comrade Liu Hua should be the main thing." Looking at the call back from the Central Committee, Liu Hua was excited, you must know that in the entire War of Resistance and Liberation, there were very few telegrams sent by the chairman in his own name, and it seems that the chairman trusts himself very much.

After the excitement, Liu Hua turned to the topic. "Political commissar, chief of staff, you should all know the telegram from the Central Committee, now you look at this information." Liu Hua handed a piece of information in his hand to the political commissar.

After both of them read the telegram, Liu Hua asked, "What do you think of this matter, now the enemy is searching for our whereabouts everywhere, but the telegram from the central government requires us to increase the attack on the enemy's logistics as much as possible, as soon as we show our heads, I estimate that we will immediately attract a large number of devils to retaliate." “

After listening to Liu Hua's words, the two did not speak, and smoked quietly.

"Brigade commander, if we are discovered by the enemy, how many troops can the enemy send to deal with us." The commissar looked up.

Liu Hua glanced at the distribution map of the enemy forces on the map and said: "There are only three devils left in a brigade of Banqiao, Banqiao is estimated to be able to send two squadrons, and Walnut Garden can dispatch a squadron of infantry and a squadron of cavalry." The rest of the ground is too far away, and it is estimated that there are four squadrons of devils. Liu Hua looked at the political commissar who had been staring at the map and replied.

Suddenly, Liu Hua's eyes lit up, the enemy only had about 1,000 people in four squadrons, and he had more than 8,000 people. "Smack" The two of them slammed the table at the same time.

"Commissar, you speak first." Liu Hua said with a smile. The political commissar didn't speak, and made a downward motion, Liu Hua looked at it and nodded to the political commissar.

"Chief of Staff, immediately convene the staff officers to formulate a plan to lure the enemy deep and annihilate the enemy, and the specific location of the enemy is still chosen in the place of Changshengkou." Liu Hua immediately ordered to the chief of staff next to him.

The next day, Chief of Staff Li Qing handed over a combat plan to Liu Hua and the political commissar, and after reading the battle plan, the two of them applauded at the same time. Isn't this the classic style of play in later generations, "besiege the city and send reinforcements." Liu Hua very much agrees with this combat plan.

"Staff Officer Wang, notify all cadres above the battalion level to come to the meeting, hurry up." After that, he sat down and began to discuss the specifics of the battle with the two partners. When all the cadres came to report, a complete battle plan discussed by the three appeared in the hands of several regiment commanders.

"Okay, the battle plan in your hands is what we need to implement in the past two days, I just say a few words, the Party Central Committee [***] personally sent us a telegram, agreeing to our request, to establish a base along the Zhengtai Road, but the devil will not let it, today's battle determines whether we can gain a firm foothold in the local area and complete the tasks assigned to us by the Party Central Committee, so you must show a hundred times the spirit to fight this battle, I can say, this battle, winning, we will stay, defeated, we can only go. One more thing is that we must give full play to our firepower and minimize the casualties of our troops. That's all for me. I now give the floor to the political commissar. Liu Hua finished speaking and began to applaud.

The political commissar stood up and waved his hand: "Comrades, what should be said, the brigade commander has already said, yesterday we just held a celebration party, and I hope that tomorrow night, we will be able to hold another celebration banquet." Thank you. With that, he sat down.

"Well, today, except for a certain number of guard posts, all the troops will rest, conserve their strength, be sure to pay attention to the food of their comrades, and start acting according to their respective tasks at eight o'clock in the evening. Meeting. ”

In the evening, the troops had a good meal, after receiving the telegram sent by the intelligence officer that the devil had collected the troops, the entire Reading Brigade immediately began to act, the troops were divided into two routes, led by the political commissar a regiment, the artillery battalion mountain artillery company, set off to the walnut orchard, ready to launch a feint attack at four o'clock in the morning, and Liu Hua, the chief of staff led the second regiment, the third regiment, the artillery battalion, the guard battalion, the reconnaissance battalion sniper company, and the baggage battalion began to assemble at Changshengkou, and launched a fatal blow to the devil reinforcements at any time, leaving the new regiment to stick to the camp and guard the supplies.

In the dark night, the two troops quietly rushed to the destination, in the dark night, like two long dragons, after several hours of rapid marching, the main force led by Liu Hua arrived at the Changshengkou battlefield after an ambush, at this time it has been two days since the last ambush, and there is nothing on the position except for some bullet shells and stains of blood.

Under Liu Hua's order, the troops began to renovate their positions for the defects of the last ambush war, and at the same time, the scale of the ambushed devils this time also changed from one reinforced squadron to two reinforced squadrons, so the position must be increased by nearly a mile on the original basis. This is especially true of the soldiers of the artillery battalion, who measure the firing coordinates little by little for the newly added positions and record them one by one.

At the same time, the group marching towards the walnut orchard also arrived at the outskirts of the walnut orchard at four o'clock in the morning, and the walnut orchard at this time was only sporadic lights, and without thinking about it, the political commissar knew that it must be the devil's sentinel, the patrol

"Order the mountain artillery company to immediately build an artillery position, the first battalion to attack from the front, the second battalion to attack from the back, and the third battalion as a reserve to protect the artillery position, and the troops will be in place immediately, and the attack will start on time at five o'clock in the morning, and now the table will begin." The commissar immediately ordered.

As the clock ticked and ticked, the time for the attack was getting closer and closer, and the sky was already dark, and the outline of the low city wall of the walnut orchard had appeared in the seriousness of everyone.

"Artillery preparation." The artillery company commander gave the order, and the eight mountain artillery shells were put into the barrel, and the soldiers next to him immediately retreated, waiting for the company commander's final order, and finally, the time was up. "Put"

Eight shells landed accurately in the city of Walnut Garden, and even four shells landed accurately on the low city wall, blooming four gorgeous flowers, and at the same time, several heavy machine guns opened fire one after another
