In order to avoid the unfavorable situation of a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army in the plains, Tao Ping ordered the troops to adopt a day and night march, quickly evacuate the battlefield and move to the mountains.
In order to hide the whereabouts of the troops, Tao Ping specially ordered the troops to adopt a high-intensity emergency march at night. Just like this, all night long, without lights or torches, and only with the faint moonlight in the sky, Tao Ping's 911 Brigade The two infantry regiments traveled more than 150 miles overnight with only two legs. Finally, before the Japanese reconnaissance plane took off, Tao Ping's troops successfully arrived at the pre-planned resting place - ¡ªThe Jiming Mountain area is undergoing rest and recuperation.
The Lan Fenghuang cavalry regiment just walked further, covering a distance of more than 200 miles in one night, and directly entered the area controlled by Xu Dashang, our brother army, and broke away from the actual control of the Japanese army. .
This can not but be said to be a miracle. He traveled more than 140 miles in the mountain road in the dark overnight, and he only relied on two long thighs. Of course, the price of doing this was that when the sun started to emerge from the horizon, At that time, all the soldiers fell exhausted in the dense jungle of Jiming Mountain.
"Old Tao, now we are finally safe." Yang Hongyi said to Tao Ping with a sigh as he looked at the sky that was beginning to turn white in the east.
"As long as we avoid encountering the main force of the Japanese army on the plains, things will be much easier to handle below!" Tao Ping also said to Yang Hongyi with emotion.
"Yes! If we were to have a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army near Shanyangtun, it is so close to the railway line and the enemy's troops would move very fast.
Not only Shijiazhuang, but also Taiyuan, and even the entire North China Japanese army may come to reinforce after hearing the news. In this way, our enemies will fight more and more, and we will become more passive as we fight, and it is very likely that the entire army will fall into a very dangerous situation. ! Yang Hongyi then said to Tao Ping.
"There are many dogs with their legs wrapped around them. Instead of fighting in Shanyang, it is better to lead the enemy to the vicinity of Jiming Mountain to detour. There are many mountains and forests here and sparsely populated areas. Even if the Japanese want to find a guide, they can't find one. The maps in their hands are probably nowhere to be found among the mountains and mountains with tall trees and dense forests. Then we will give them a way to evade the truth and attack the fictitious! It will definitely be enough for the little devil to drink. This is the only way to fight in the mountains. This is our strength!" Tao Ping said to Yang Hongyi with a smile.
"Old Tao, you take a rest first, and I'll go and see why Minister Zheng has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet!" Yang Hongyi said to Tao Ping with some worry.
"I'm afraid there are too many mountain roads here and it's hard to find. Maybe he took another detour! This time he brought a platoon of troops there, so there shouldn't be any problem. Even if he encounters a pack of wolves again, he won't suffer. !" Tao Ping then said to Yang Hongyi.
"Forget it! I'd better go to the secret service company and ask them to send another platoon of soldiers to greet them! The last encounter with the wolves was dangerous enough. We can't let our guard down anymore." Yang Hongyi still said He said to Tao Ping with some worry. After all, after the last time the scouts encountered the wolves, Yang Hongyi still had some lingering fears.
"Okay then! If you're worried, just go check it out again!" Tao Ping then said to Yang Hongyi.
After listening to Tao Ping's words, Yang Hongyi led the guards to the camp where the spy company rested.
Soon, about five minutes later, from the opposite direction of Yang Hongyi, the Chief of Operations Zheng Guolong walked up to Tao Ping with a strong man who looked like a mountain man.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, Comrade Tian Erhu, the county magistrate of Jiming County and the captain of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade, I have invited you!" Zheng Guolong immediately saluted Tao Ping with a standard military salute.
"Hello, Chief, Captain Tian Erhu of Jiming County Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade is here to report." Before Tao Ping could speak, Captain Tian Erhu immediately stood at attention and saluted Tao Ping with a standard military salute.
"Captain Tian, ??thank you for your hard work!" Tao Ping returned a military salute and said to Tian Erhu, while holding Tian Erhu's hand.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. It's what you should do to serve the main force. It's just that when we received the order, we were in a hurry and the preparations were not sufficient. Please don't dislike it, comrades. We don't have any local specialties in this small place, that is, Some bacon, blood sausage, etc., nothing good to entertain the comrades.
The day before yesterday, after I received the order from my superiors, we mobilized the villages to prepare food and food. So far, we have prepared more than 1,000 kilograms of bacon, blood sausage, and more than 70 tons of rice and noodles. "Tian Erhu said to Tao Ping very happily.
"Then I really want to thank you so much. We are worried about the food problem now! As the saying goes, when we have no food in our hands and feel panic in our hearts, when the troops come out?, we didn¡¯t bring much rations to begin with, but now it¡¯s much easier to handle, I can finally rest assured! "Tao Ping took Tian Erhu's hand and said very gratefully.
Seeing that Yang Hongyi did not follow, Tao Ping quickly said to Zheng Guolong:
"Old Zheng, where is Political Commissar Yang? Didn't he just go to the secret service company to look for you? Why didn't you meet him?"
"No! We didn't pass by the special agent company, we just took a shortcut and came here!" Chief of Operations Zheng Guolong said to Tao Ping quickly.
"It seems that Zhang Liang is looking for Li Lang this time - he got sidetracked. Xiaocheng, you run to the special agent company immediately and talk to the political commissar. There's no need to look for him anymore. Minister Zheng is back!" Tao Ping hurriedly told a guard next to him. Platoon warrior Cheng Xiaoguang said.
"Yes!" Cheng Xiaoguang, a guard platoon soldier, quickly saluted Tao Ping with a standard military salute.
"By the way, Captain Tian, ??I heard that there is a rich man named Qiu Laishun in Jiming County who is not very honest. Come and tell me about his situation!" Tao Ping suddenly changed his subject and said to Tian Erhu.
Hearing what Tao Ping said, Tian Erhu said to Tao Ping helplessly:
"Qiu Laishun is one of the few wealthy people in our county. Their family started their business by making bacon. They have more than 2,000 acres of land. In addition, there are three bacon shops in the county, and there are two in the family. He has more than ten spears and is nicknamed Qiu Dabastard.
As for his nickname, he has a lot of background. He slept for a few nights by giving his wife to the county magistrate of the Nationalist Government, so he got his bastard son to work as a clerk for the county magistrate of Jiming County. In the past few years, this old bastard has been very aggressive with the more than 20 guns in his hands and his bastard son. Other landlords and wealthy people have responded to the call of our superiors to reduce rents and interest rates for tenants, but this old guy just doesn't want to Dry.
And not only did he not reduce rents and interest rates, he also mobilized other landlords and wealthy people to fight against us. Fortunately, our county brigade had a few broken guns, but those other landlords and wealthy landlords still respected us and did not listen to him. Yes, but due to the guys in his hands and his bastard son who is the county magistrate's clerk, our county brigade has never been able to do anything against him!
In addition, according to what we learned from other channels, this Qiu bastard has been secretly hooking up with the Japanese. However, this old guy is very cunning and does a very good job on the surface. We have never been able to catch a more reliable one. evidence, so it has been difficult to take action against him. "
"Oh, that's it! No wonder I have been listening to comrades from the political and engineering department that there is a wealthy man from Qiu in Jiming County who is so arrogant that even our local armed forces can't defeat him! By the way, Captain Tian, ??now I If you have a good opportunity, do you want to deal with this old boy?" Tao Ping said with a smile to Tian Erhu.
"I do, of course I do, I have never dreamed of getting rid of this old guy!" Tian Erhu said to Tao Ping very happily.
Tao Ping looked at the box cannon with half of the gun handle missing on Tian Erhu¡¯s waist, and said to Tian Erhu with some emotion:
"Captain Tian, ??how many people are there in your team? How many guns?"
After hearing Tao Ping¡¯s question, Tian Erhu scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Reporting to the leader, our Jiling County guerrilla brigade has a total of fifty-five people and twelve guns, including seven long guns, two short guns, and three bird guns."
"Okay, it's not polite to come and go without reciprocating, Minister Zheng!" Tao Ping turned to Zheng Guolong and said.
"Yes!" Zheng Guolong replied immediately.
"After a while, you take Comrade Tian Erhu to Lang Fang to get twenty long guns, twenty short guns, five thousand rounds of bullets each, and one hundred grenades. Do you hear me clearly?" Tao Ping said to Zheng Guolong immediately.
"Yes!" Zheng Guolong immediately saluted with a standard military salute and said.
"Chief, thank you so much. I really don't know what to say!" Tian Erhu said tremblingly while holding Tao Ping's hand, almost crying with excitement.
"Don't be too busy thanking us. We have a good show and we have to ask you to help us!" Tao Ping then said to Tian Erhu.
"Please ask the chief to assign the task! We promise to fully cooperate with the main force!" Tian Erhu said to Tao Ping very happily.
At this moment, Tao Ping¡¯s chief of staff Zhou Bin walked over from a distance.
"Okay, the experts are here. What I just told you requires a lot of skills. Let the experts explain it to you now!" Tao Ping quickly waved to Zhou Bin and then said to Tian Erhu.
Suddenly, Tian Erhu and Zheng Guolong were stunned on the spot, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in Tao Ping's gourd!
"Brigadier, call me!" Zhou Bin trotted over and said to Tao Ping:Tao.
"Come, Captain Tian, ??this is our Chief of Staff Zhou Bin and Zhou Zhi. Whether what I just told you will come to pass depends entirely on him!" Tao Ping smiled strangely at Zhou Bin and then said to Tian Erhu.
"Hello, chief, Tian Erhu, the county magistrate of Jiming County and captain of the guerrilla brigade, is reporting to you!" Tian Erhu immediately saluted Zhou Bin with a standard military salute and said.
Before Zhou Bin could speak, Tao Ping quickly said to Zhou Bin:
"Commander Zhou, I have invited you here, and I will leave this huge task to you. Whether our soldiers can eat meat is all up to you. Do it according to the method I told you before! It will be done. !¡±
"You two talk, we will avoid it!" Tao Ping quickly pulled Zheng Guolong, who had been stunned on the spot, towards the temporary headquarters with a strange smile.
This moment made Tian Erhu extremely anxious. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know what to say!
And Zhou Bin, who stayed where he was, couldn't help laughing.
