Li Delin received Leng Feng's secret report, and he was also scared into a cold sweat, if it was really as Leng Feng expected, then this would really be a disaster.

"Immediately order Chifeng City to retreat!"

"Now?"

"Yes, right now, there is also a secret retreat, and the Japanese army must not be allowed to discover their movements, and at the same time, let Chifeng City send scouts to the east to investigate in detail whether the Japanese army is in ambush!" Li Delin ordered categorically.

"Degong, in this way, the defenders of Teng County can only rely on themselves to break through."

"There is no way to do this, we must first ensure the safety of Xuzhou." Bai Jiansheng said calmly, the Japanese army suddenly retreated, and he also felt that something was wrong, but the second group army Chifeng City was a madman and a new force when it started fighting, and the Sichuan army guarding Teng County could block the Japanese army under the city for six days.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army does not seem to be so terrible, Bai Jiansheng thought about it so fortunately, but he didn't take it to heart, Chifeng City originally had the task of responding to the breakthrough of the defenders of Teng County.

If you don't contain the main force of the Japanese army, how can you plan for the defenders to break through?

"That's all there is to it now." Li Delin sighed, although Leng Feng sent a team that was not weak to respond from outside the city, it was really hard to say whether he could break through.

"What's going on in Teng County now?"

"The Dongguan City Wall and the Nanguan City Wall should be occupied by the Japanese army, about half of the county town is under the control of the Japanese, because of the dark night, the Japanese do not dare to attack, and the battle line is temporarily stable."

"So when are they going to break out, and where is the direction of the breakout?" Li Delin asked.

"Judging from the information fed back before, the Japanese troops in the west are slightly weak, and I think they should break through from the west!" A senior staff officer in the theater said.

"No, I don't think they will choose to break through to the west, if they go west, it will be difficult for them to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, in that case, even if they break out, there will not be many who can come back alive."

"What does Deputy Chief Bai mean?" The senior staff officer, who was also a lieutenant general, was very unimpressed with Bai Jiansheng's judgment.

"If you want me to say, they must die and survive, and only by breaking through to the east can there be a way to live!"

"But Dongguan City has been occupied by the Japanese army!"

"Because of this, if they break through to the east to fight the Japanese army, they will be caught off guard." Bai Jiansheng said solemnly, "Duke De, I suggest that you send a telegram to Wang Zhizhong immediately, ordering them to change the breakthrough plan and break through to the east!" ”

"This ......" Li Delin hesitated, Bai Jiansheng's words were not unreasonable, but they could only make judgments based on the information on paper now, and the actual situation was only clear to the forward commanders in Teng County.

Wang Zhizhong is also a battle-hardened general, doesn't he know the danger of breaking through to the west?

"Has the Tengxian breakout plan been reported?"

"Not yet." Tan Yaodong, chief of the Confidential Section, said.

"It's all this time, why haven't you reported the breakout plan yet?" Xu Yanmou, who had always been calm, couldn't help but show a hint of impatience.

"Do you want to rush?"

"Don't rush, I'm afraid they will have a difficult choice at this moment, after all, it is a matter of life and death for thousands of people." Li Delin waved his hand to stop it, the Sichuan army originally didn't want anyone, it was he who overrode the public opinion and took it, and it turned out that the Sichuan army was not unbearable as those people imagined, they fought very bravely, very tenacious, and with the inferior weapons in their hands, they blocked the Japanese army for a whole week, what a great thing.

The total number of Sichuan troops is less than 20,000, how many Japanese troops are there, and the Japanese army besieging Tengxian is full of 30,000.

After this battle, this Sichuan army can be regarded as disabled.

Li Delin was very moved, he really wanted to rescue this team, save a little blood and bones, and rebuild it in the future.

"Chief Li, Tengxian County Emergency Electricity!"

"Break east!" Li Delin glanced at the telegram slightly and shouted in surprise.

"Yes, this is their final decision, from now on, the radio will be silent, and they will not be contacted until the breakout is safe."

"It seems that they are determined to break the kettle, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent?" Bai Jiansheng was surprised, these Sichuan troops are really bloody, real men.

"Is there a breakout route?"

"They plan to walk Bear's Ears Mountain, detour to Zaozhuang and Taierzhuang, and return to Xuzhou or northern Jiangsu to rest!" Lieutenant Colonel Staff Officer Wei Zhiming reported.

"There is a regiment of the 59th Army over there in Zaozhuang, do you want them to send someone to pick it up?"

"Zaozhuang's strength is too weak, isn't it strengthened?"

"How about transferring the newly arrived 27th Division of the Second Army?"

"What should I do with the Twentieth Army, the 4th Division of the 85th Army will be defeated when it touches the enemy, if it is not for the Second Army to catch up, Lincheng is very likely to fall into the hands of the enemy!"

"Deploy the 85th Army to the front line of Hanzhuang, and wait for Tang Keqin to arrive in Xuzhou."

"Okay, that's it." Li Delin made the final decision.

In Fuji County, the time was already around eight o'clock in the evening, and the sporadic fighting in the city was still going on, and the Japanese army obviously did not want to quiet the defenders.

Wang Zhizhong summoned the relevant people and others to make the final deployment before breaking through.

In accordance with the order of the assault force in the front, the wounded and the command organ and related personnel in the middle, and the personnel in the rear, the breakthrough team was formed.

It is impossible to enter the underground secret passage in a queue one by one, so the entrance to be reasonably arranged is suddenly ordered, which is not on the ground, but underground, and must be arranged in place.

"Everyone gets the order and time to enter the secret passage, I emphasize again, everyone must enter the secret passage at the specified time, the most important point, can not let the Japanese army discover the secret of the secret passage, understand?"

"Got it!"

"Okay, now the watch, eight and four in the evening, nine o'clock on time to break through!"

"Commander-in-chief, County Magistrate Zhou, he refused to go with us, he said that he was the magistrate of Teng County, and he, the county magistrate, wanted to live and die with Teng County!" The guards hurried over.

"Playing the piano indiscriminately, this Zhou Tong, what does he want to do?"

"Scholar, I'm too angry, I'll persuade him." Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin picked up the military hat on the table, dusted it off, put it on, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, this county magistrate Zhou is a talent, you can't leave him to die in vain!" Wang Zhizhong solemnly instructed.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Zhao Weibin smiled.

To the east of Tengxian County, when it was dark, Liang Dong quietly set out from Yancun with the rescue detachment that had been recuperating all day, detoured north to the south bank of the Beisha River, and passed through the Japanese air raid according to the route of pre-reconnaissance.

The Japanese army in the north of Tengxian County was less than the Japanese army in the west, but to the north was Zou County, where was the Japanese occupation area, and the Beishahe railway bridge was blown up by Zhang Xuanwu.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly safer to go around the east of the city from the north than from the south, and many villages north of Tengxian have been swept away by the Japanese army, and there are no people or animals.

Even when walking in the dark, you can feel the coldness and seepage.

This is something that very human courage can do, you know, walking under the eyes and nose of the Japanese army, this is not possible without extraordinary courage.

Of course, you have to prepare in advance, everything is not possible without preparation, the hooves of the war horses are wrapped in cotton, and the horse's mouth is also chewed.

Even people have to put a branch in their mouths, and they can't make a sound, and the devils camp on the hillside, and they pass under the hillside, only a few dozen meters apart!

There are at least three times in this thrilling process.

At 8:20, Liang Dong and the team felt the predetermined location and joined the team that had led the team to reconnoiter in advance.

"Team Liang, the Japanese are very conceited, they only set up a defensive front outside the east gate, and the fortifications are also very rudimentary, only digging some underground bunkers on a few high grounds."

A simple map of the Japanese army's defense was spread out in front of Liang Dong and others.

There is indeed only one line, but there are no dead ends, all the roads out of the city from the east gate are blocked, and the main roads are also heavily guarded.

"How many frontal troops are there?"

"There was probably a brigade, and in addition, we also found that their artillery position, in Kotsumi, had a total of twelve artillery pieces, like the Meiji 38 style 75 field guns."

"Do you see clearly, it's 75 field artillery?"

"See clearly."

"Platoon Commander Hao!"

"Here!"

"How good is our platoon walking?"

"No problem, get off the horse, we are no worse than the infantry!" Platoon Leader Hao patted his chest. Assured.

"Okay, I have an idea." Liang Dong said, "I want to end the artillery position of the little devils and grab their artillery, what do you think?" ”

"Team Liang, our mission is to meet the Teng County defenders to break through, and doing so will bring us unpredictable dangers!" Guo Xing was the first to object.

"But such a good opportunity is right in front of me, it's a pity not to fight!"

"We only have one battalion of troops, and the Japanese army has at least one brigade, and their troops from other places can be reinforced at any time, which is too child's play."

"How is the defense of artillery positions?"

"I made a visual observation, and there was about a squadron of Japanese infantry."

"An infantry squadron can be solved with only one company, and there is a certain gap between the infantry combat effectiveness of this kind of infantry to protect artillery and the Japanese infantry in the field."

Facing Liang Dong, who was trembling with excitement, Guo Xing was silent.

"Old Yang, what do you mean?" This time it was a battalion of the Special Service Corps, and he was the direct commander of this team.

"Will we expose ourselves in this fight?"

"This shouldn't be, this may still distract the Japanese army and attract the Japanese army to the past, and it should be helpful for us to tear open the mouth of the Japanese army and meet the defenders to break through." Fang Xiaoyang and Liang Dong have long been familiar with each other, and they have cooperated several times, which have been very successful, so they naturally support Liang Dong's bold idea.

What's more, when the Honor First Division fights, what he has always wanted is to take the initiative to attack, seize the fighters, and not hesitate, all of which is brought out by Leng Feng's personal style.

"If it helps to break through with the defenders of Yingteng County, then it's worth a vote!" Yang Rui thought about it and expressed his opinion.

Guo Xing is also thinking about it, if you look at this matter simply, you can't do it, but if you look at this mission, it is not a good way to divert the attention of the Japanese army, and by the way, it can hit the Japanese army, which is also good.

But the question is, if the troops are divided, if the strength is not enough, won't the greed for merit hurt this operation?

"Battalion Commander Yang, are you sure?"

Yang Rui glanced at Guo Xing, he could see what Guo Xing was worried about, and said slowly: "We are from Shanghai. ”

"Okay, let's launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery positions first, if possible, maybe these little devils' artillery can help us!" Liang Dong became excited.

"Who's going to end the devil's artillery position?"

"I'll go." Fang Xiaoyang stood up and said.
