Political Commissar Xi poked Mr. Peng, who was still pondering, with his elbow: "Boss, it's time to make up your mind, it's also good to eat a big stomach and eat a big meal, and the longer the time is delayed, the more bad it will be for us." ”

Mr. Peng, who had never spoken, raised his head, and then said to several commanders in the headquarters: "Political commissar, it's not that I don't want to withdraw, it's just that now it's easy for our headquarters to withdraw, and it will be difficult for the third and fourth columns to withdraw. ”

The commanders in the headquarters knew that Mr. Peng was telling the truth, that radio was very common in the Kuomintang division-level units, and that the main force of the Kuomintang Corps was advancing with all its might to attack the PLA's reinforcements, and this news would of course be conveyed by radio to the 38th Division that was surrounded.

As soon as the 3rd and 4th Columns retreat downward, the 38th Division of the Kuomintang will realize that something is wrong, and it will be easy to think that it is because the main force is about to arrive; if the enemy pursues it from behind at this time, it will be troublesome, not only will the 38th Division of the Kuomintang not be resolved, but the 3rd and 4th Columns will also suffer relatively large losses, and it will be uncomfortable to be chased by others.

The headquarters was quiet again, and even the staff officers and guards were walking back and forth with their hearts, and no one dared to disturb Mr. Peng's thinking.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Peng finally gave an order: "This is the only way to do it, call Chen Haihan back, ask him to hold on for a while no matter what, and order the first and second columns to end the battle immediately, and then withdraw from the third and fourth columns alternately." ”

"Boss, what should I do with the Sixth Column? It will take time to withdraw from the battle, so why don't you find a way to transfer some reinforcements to them, even if it's a regiment. ”

Just as he was talking, the phone on the table rang again, and a staff officer took the phone and listened to a few words, and then said, "It's the phone number of Commander Wang of the Second Column." ”

Hearing that it was Commander Wang who called, Mr. Peng muttered a few words: "What kind of call did this guy Wang Huzi call at this time, it can't be that there is something wrong with them, right?" ”

Mr. Peng, who took the phone, heard the laughter that Commander Wang Zhen was accustomed to coming from the microphone: "Boss, how are you there?" I heard from our scouts that the position of the Sixth Column is very dangerous, and that our Second Column and First Column Commandos have surrounded the headquarters of the 17th Kuomintang Division, and the battle is about to end. ”

Mr. Peng, who was worried about not being able to provide support to the Sixth Column because he had no troops in his hands, his eyes lit up suddenly, and his voice involuntarily became louder: "Okay, you are a king's beard, the more you fight, the more shrewd you are fighting, who did you learn from?" You're going to start an ambush with you? To tell you the truth, my situation here is not very good, Luo Yuan is under a lot of pressure, since your second column has troops that can be dispatched, go out immediately, and provide support to the sixth column as quickly as possible, so as to ensure that the main force of the field army is out of battle, the sooner the better. ”

Mr. Peng, a battle-hardened commander, is also really anxious, the Kuomintang reorganized 38th Division has not been able to attack for a long time, if the position of the Sixth Column is broken through by the main force of the Kuomintang when the troops have not withdrawn, there will be a big son, maybe several columns may be dumpled by the enemy.

Commander Wang, who is very familiar with Mr. Peng, heard Mr. Peng's anxious tone from the phone, who is Mr. Peng? Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, if he was in a hurry, the situation would definitely be very unpleasant: "Boss, I will immediately send the Independent Brigade to support the position of the Sixth Column, you and the commanders of the Ye Division should be more careful, it is best to withdraw the headquarters a distance first." ”

At the headquarters of the second column, Commander Wang muttered to a commander beside him: "Old man, it seems that we didn't move the independent brigade right, listening to Mr. Peng, Chen Haihan of the teaching brigade called the phone directly to the Ye Division, and asked the boss for reinforcements, but our Ye Division has no troops at all." ”

The commander beside Commander Wang said anxiously: "Huzi, what are you waiting for, let the Independent Brigade go out immediately, it would be good to grab ten more minutes." ”

Mr. Peng, who put down the microphone, let out a sigh of relief, turned around and said to several commanders of the headquarters: "Isn't this guy Wang Huzi simple, the 17th Division surrounded by their two columns is about to end, but there is still a brigade left in his hand and has not moved, this time it is just right, let Wang Huzi's brigade go to the sixth column to support Luo Yuan, and inform Xu Guangda and Zhang Dazhi of the third and fourth columns, since you can't gnaw and don't bite hard, hurry up, several columns alternately cover and retreat, tell the soldiers, don't worry, this 38th division can't run." We didn't eat it this time, so we'll eat it again next time until we finish eating. ”

At the brigade headquarters of the Independent Brigade of the Second Column, the brigade commander Li Yong put his feet on a table without heart or lungs, held a cigarette in his mouth, closed his eyes and hummed a hometown tune that no one could understand, and the chair under his buttocks 'creaked' from time to time, as if the battle in the distance had nothing to do with him, the big brigade commander.

Li Yuming, the company commander of the guard company, was about to come over to report after about half an hour, and the content of the report was the same: "Brigade commander, the 17th division of the Kuomintang is now finished, why don't the superiors let us go up?" If you don't go up, you won't be able to catch anything. ”

Later, Li Yong was so annoyed that he had to close his eyes, no matter what Li Yuming said, he didn't hear it, time passed little by little, judging from the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions in the distance, the battle was gradually coming to an end, and it seemed that there was nothing to do with this battle without the Independent Brigade.

Just when the cadres and soldiers of the independent brigade were depressed, the phone on the table of the brigade headquarters rang, and a staff member shouted after listening to a few words: "Brigade commander, it's the commander of the column. ”

Li Yong, who was still napping with his eyes closed just now, immediately jumped up and walked to the telephone in a few steps, and Commander Wang's voice in the microphone was very clear: "Dayong, are you a little anxious?" To tell you the truth, the battle did not go well, the 38th Division of the Kuomintang resisted fiercely, the 3rd and 4th columns did not move, and now the main force of the Kuomintang Corps has all been pressed on the body of the Sixth Column, and the positions of the Sixth Column may be broken through by the enemy at any time. ”

Speaking of this, Commander Wang stopped and asked, "Dayong, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Yong: "I understand, the third and fourth columns have encountered nails, and the position of the sixth column is very dangerous. ”

"You understand, the focus of the main attack of the enemy corps is Chen Haihan's teaching brigade, and the commanders of the field division are just a few kilometers behind the teaching brigade, the situation is very dangerous, order your brigade to march forward in a hurry, cooperate with the sixth column, and win time for the main force of the field army to withdraw from the battle, there are two specific tasks, one is to reinforce the six columns and hold the position with them, and the other is to ensure the safety of Mr. Peng and the field chiefs, do you understand? Repeat to me if you understand. ”

Commander Wang rarely spoke to Li Yong in this tone, and asked him to repeat it again to explain that this was a task that must be completed, and Li Yong clenched the microphone tightly: cooperate with the sixth column to hold the position, and second, to ensure the safety of the headquarters commander, please rest assured that the commander will resolutely complete the task.

When Li Yong and Commander Wang were on the phone, the brigade headquarters personnel of the Independent Brigade almost pricked up their ears, and the brigade commander repeated the task with Commander Wang on the phone, but they heard it very clearly, good guy, either the mission will not come, or the big guy will come.

Li Yong, who put down the phone, shouted loudly: "The whole brigade is assembled, ready for battle, notify the commanders of each company and above, and immediately go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting." ‘

In less than 10 minutes, all the commanders at all levels rushed to arrive, including Hu Lian, the captain of the health team, and He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander, plus Li Jia, the commander of the communications platoon who was always in the brigade headquarters.

The current brigade commander Li Da didn't have much heart to provoke these flowers and plants, but explained to these commanders straight to the point: "The situation is very critical, the third and fourth columns have been touched by the 38th division of the Kuomintang, and they cannot withdraw for the time being, the main force of the enemy's corps is attacking the defense line of the sixth column, and the higher authorities have ordered our brigade to march forward in a hurry, first, to cooperate with the sixth column to consolidate the position, and second, to ensure the safety of the commanders, and to control the troops immediately after returning home, and to leave in ten minutes." ”

The entire independent brigade of more than 9,000 people, plus all kinds of technical weapons, was pulled out of the garrison area within 20 minutes after receiving the order of the column.

Run, keep running, to get to the place where the independent brigade stores cars and other means of transport in the fastest time, when the troops are carrying out the task of wearing cha, plus they are walking on mountain roads, the independent brigade and the brother troops are marching on foot, and heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks are not brought over.

The distance back and forth is dozens of kilometers, fortunately, the independent brigade has not forgotten the tradition of the old Eighth Road, and often conducts cross-country training with a large amount of exercise, at this time it can be seen that the benefits of ordinary training are seen, and none of the more than 9,000 people in the brigade are left behind, including the female soldiers of the health team, these girls are still encouraging each other while running: "Work hard, don't fall behind, don't let the male soldiers look down on you." ”
