    Liu Changda said: "How strong is the Eighth Route Army? They are busy transferring people and troops now. According to our intelligence, the troops currently in contact with the Japanese are basically their militia and a small number of diversionary forces. The main force of the Eighth Route Army is on the outlying island.  The troops are still some distance away. *1*1* According to the current fighting situation between the two sides, it would be extremely easy for the Japs to leave the battlefield."

    Li Qinglin also said: "The Iijima troops starting from Luocun are progressing very quickly. So far, they have not been blocked by any serious threat. If they also turn their heads and head north, if so many Japanese soldiers really attack a large group, it will be awesome.  The situation in Wangzhai is dangerous."

    Han Jizhong added: "The Japanese troops are not weak this time. The current total strength is four squadrons, one of which is a reinforcement squadron; in addition, they also have a brigade plus two squadrons of puppet troops. Such a large number of troops is enough to compete with our ninth army."  The detachment resisted.¡±

    Han Jizhong¡¯s few additions attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and everyone¡¯s expressions gradually became serious. The officers looked at the map in silence.

    Li Qinglin tapped his finger on the table and said loudly: "What's wrong? Just now, everyone seemed indifferent, but now that they hear that the Japs are coming, everyone is afraid, right?"

    Xiaoliuzi threw down his cigarette butt and said: "Boss, we have been working with the Japanese for so many years. When have we ever been afraid? He will come whenever he wants. We just use our guns to fight him to the end."

    Xiao Liuzi¡¯s words aroused the resonance of others. A group of people patted the table and rolled up their sleeves. They were ready to fight the Japanese to the death.

    Li Qinglin needs this kind of emotion. He must know that the determination to fight to the death and the confidence to win are the guarantee of an army's final victory.

    After everyone calmed down a bit, Li Qinglin asked everyone: "Judging from the current situation, the Japs' target this time should be directly at the First Military Division of the Eighth Route Army, but we cannot rule out the possibility of attacking from the east to the west and attacking our ninth detachment over a long distance. This  The two Japanese troops are not simple. They moved forward lightly and attacked from two sides. They must have made a lot of preparations. Let's talk about it. How should we deal with it now? "

    Liu Changda thought for a while and said: "Niuwang Village is the closest to these two groups of Japanese. Our current primary defense focus should be here. I suggest that we immediately deploy troops to strengthen the defense here."

    The ninth detachment has gone through so many battles.  There have been some losses in personnel, but there are very few strong men to supply the rear. Currently, there is a slight shortage of troops in various units. Li Qinglin does not have many spare mobile troops in his hands. If he wants to strengthen the defense of Niuwang Village, he will need to recruit troops from other brigades.  Redeploying staff is the only option.  {http:

    At present, the one with the least pressure from the enemy is the Second Brigade in Xiashangou.  The first to bear the brunt were the Second Brigade and the troops directly under Qinghe Town.  The Second Brigade had just assisted the New Fifth Army in regaining the territory, and the Japanese had suffered a small loss. According to the characteristics of the Japanese who must retaliate, there was no guarantee that the Japanese would not launch a retaliatory attack on the Second Brigade, so the big man Zhao Shoushan was concerned about his troops being taken away.  I'm a little worried.

    "Boss, I don't object to the deployment of troops, but will the enemy really be targeting us? If they send another force to attack the third or second brigade, how will we respond?"

    Li Qinglin thought for a while.  Said: "We don't have enough troops, and the Japanese troops don't seem to be rich either. If they had more troops and more food, the troops on the island wouldn't have taken such a big detour to fight against the Eighth Route Army."

    Liang Xixian also nodded and said: "Commander Li's analysis makes sense. I think their total strength this time is only so much."

    Li Qinglin said: "Captain Zhao's worries are not unreasonable. We are not at the right time to sit back and relax. Soldiers are unpredictable and no one can guarantee that the enemy's target is only against the Eighth Route Army. We still need to make some necessary preparations."

    Li Qinglin continued: "Captain Xu's first brigade will be on heightened alert from now on. The second brigade and the third brigade will each dispatch a squadron to Qinghe to concentrate, and the headquarters will dispatch some personnel. This group of troops will be commanded by Han Jizhong to reinforce the Niuwangzhai direction at any time.  . Regardless of whether the Japs are only targeting the Eighth Route Army, the militia groups in the other brigade defense areas must also be mobilized to a certain extent, and the intelligence teams must closely monitor the enemies in front of them. If the enemy makes any changes, they must report to the headquarters in a timely manner."

    After Li Qinglin finished speaking, Xiao Liuzi asked in a low voice: "Boss, if the Japanese really only attack the Eighth Route Army and not us, should we reinforce the Eighth Route Army?"

    Liang Xixian said: "We can only protect ourselves now. Since the two families are fighting, we'd better take a closer look. If we really send troops, will it really attract the attention of the Japanese to our side?"  Woolen cloth?"

    Liang Xixian¡¯s words are obviously worried about the disaster moving eastward, but the actual meaning is also very obvious, that is, the ninth detachmentIt's nice to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, without having to worry about the life and death on the Eighth Road.

    Xiao Liuzi shook his head and said: "Director Liang does have good intentions, but the Eighth Route Army is also our friendly army. Didn't we have an agreement with them some time ago to fight the enemy together? If we don't save him now, then"

    Liang Xixian immediately interrupted Xiao Liuzi and said: "We do have a verbal agreement with the Eighth Route Army, but we only support them when we are within our capabilities? The commander has just said that the Japanese army cannot be ruled out attacking us.  , we¡¯d better protect ourselves first.¡±

    It is not the style of a soldier to refuse to save someone. As soon as Liang Xixian finished his words, everyone fell silent. The conference room was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

    Liang Xixian's intention is already obvious, that is, he wants to use the hands of the Japanese to eliminate the Eighth Route Army. As a general of the Central Government, Liang Xixian is also his duty to do so.

    There are currently three guerrilla forces in this region. In addition to Li Qinglin's Ninth Detachment, there are also Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army and Liu Zhenghong's Eighth Route Army North Henan First Army Division. These three are all friendly forces in the anti-Japanese war.  Just a few days ago, the Ninth Detachment sent troops to support the New Fifth Army. Now if we do not send troops to support the Eighth Route Army, it would be morally unjustifiable.

    In addition, from a military point of view, although the strength of the three friendly forces is different, due to the terrain, the three have become a tripartite force. The common enemy is the Japanese. No matter which one is eaten by the Japanese, it will have no impact on the war of resistance in this region.  It's a huge loss in terms of strength.

    Although it is now a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, as for what kind of cooperation it is, in the minds of the Kuomintang officers and soldiers, the biggest cooperation is that I no longer take the initiative to send troops to fight you. Therefore, Liang Xixian's idea has a lot of market.

    "If the Japanese are chasing the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Route Army asks to enter my defense area, should I let them in?" Xiao Liuzi asked.

    "Xiao Liuzi's problem is not nonsense, it is indeed a very real problem.  The Eighth Route Army is currently the smallest in strength and relies mainly on guerrilla tactics. Like the current two Japanese armies coming to mop up the enemy, and with a huge disparity in strength, the Eighth Route Army is likely to be dispersed, and will probably have nowhere to go in the end.  If they are close to Niu Wangzhai, or really need to enter the defense area of ??a large team, how should the ninth detachment as the enemy face it?

    This is a difficult question to answer.  The war zone and the Military Commission will never let the Eighth Route Army enter the defense area, and the stubborn soldiers represented by Liang Xixian will never let the Eighth Route Army in. However, they can only watch the Eighth Route Army, an anti-Japanese force, being eaten by the Japanese without doing anything.  ?

    Li Qinglin was not able to answer this question directly. He thought for a while and said, "Does everyone understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth?"

    Li Qinglin¡¯s meaning has been very clear, that is, he must not sit idly by and do nothing.  However, the officers at the meeting basically agreed with Liang Xixian's opinion.  These traditional soldiers have always regarded the National Government as orthodox. In addition, the deep-rooted idea of ??retaining territory has occupied their hearts. Most of these people are afraid that after the Eighth Route Army comes in, they will never leave again.

    There was silence in the conference room. The officers were smoking and drinking water. No one picked up Li Qinglin's words.  Seeing that no one was willing to accept the Eighth Route Army, Li Qinglin sighed inwardly, and finally said: "In this way, the Eighth Route Army is our friendly army, and we also have an agreement with them, that is, to help each other and fight the enemy together. If the Japanese really hit the Eighth Route Army,  In front of our position, we can cover them so that they can move safely."

    Li Qinglin finally stated that he would not let the Eighth Route Army enter the defense zone. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became relaxed.  The rest of the time was given to Chief of Staff Liu Changda, because a series of matters such as military mobilization, personnel coordination, and pre-war preparations were the Chief of Staff's responsibilities.

    When everything was arranged, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.  In early winter, the night temperature in northern Henan is very low. Fortunately, the cooking soldiers of the headquarters prepared a large pot of hot noodle soup. Hot noodle soup is a good food to warm up in winter.

    A large pot of hot noodle soup was brought over, and the cook served everyone a large bowl of hot noodle soup. Everyone dispersed for a while after finishing the large bowl of steaming hot noodle soup.

    "Xiao Liuzi, please stay for a while." Li Qinglin did not leave immediately, he kept Xiao Liuzi.

    After everyone dispersed, Li Qinglin closed the door and asked Xiao Liuzi in a low voice: "Liuzi, how are your preparations for Niuwang Village going?"

    Xiao Liuzi was very confident and said: "Boss, don't worry, dealing with the Japanese is no longer a day or two. I am almost ready. All soldiers have been issued a basic amount of ammunition, and the frontline troops have also increased their equipment.  If the Japs really dare to come and don't dare to say anything else, and they want to cross Niuwang Village, they will have to pay a heavy price."

    ? ???Qinglin patted Xiao Liuzi on the shoulder and said, "You are my old brother. I am very relieved about this."

    Then, Li Qinglin changed the topic and asked: "If the Eighth Route Army really cannot support it and asks you to provide support; or if it really needs to enter your defense zone, how are you going to respond?"
