Without thinking, Xiao Liuzi said: "Then just do what was decided at the meeting. *1*1* We will not take the initiative to attack the Japanese, but we will not let the Japanese or the Eighth Route Army enter our defense area. "
"Xiao Liuzi means Mingzhebiao. This is the main theme determined by the meeting just now, and it is also the idea of ??most of the officers of the Ninth Detachment.
Li Qinglin asked: "Xiao Liuzi, do you think it is better to have the Eighth Route Army over there, or not have it?"
Xiao Liuzi replied without even thinking: "It goes without saying, of course it would be better if the Eighth Route Army is there. After all, with the Eighth Route Army over there, my flank is relatively safe."
Li Qinglin smiled and said: "Look at the attitude the Japanese have taken this time, they obviously want to eat up this Eighth Route Army. In my opinion, the Eighth Route Army is more likely to be in trouble this time."
Xiaoliuzi also felt the same and said: "If the Eighth Route Army is really eaten by them, our Pengzhai side will not be so peaceful in the future."
Li Qinglin felt confident and asked with a smile: "You really don't want to help them?"
Xiao Liuzi was a little embarrassed and said: "Boss, they are from the Eighth Route Army. You also know that Director Liang and others have more eyes, and those people are not vegetarians. I'm afraid"
Li Qinglin thought for a while and said: "In this case, don't you also have sharpshooters? Pull a few out to form a team. We can't make it public. We just send them out quietly to help them out at the right time. Ammunition is tight on the Eighth Route. You send someone to contact Zhou Yougen, and we can go there in a little while, so we can help them."
Xiao Liuzi nodded and said: "That's no problem. I'll send someone to do it right away. Boss, if the Eighth Route Army really needs to come to our defense area, what should I do? Do we really need to use force to stop them?"
Li Qinglin shook his head repeatedly and said: "You blocked the road in front of them, and the Japs came up from behind. Doesn't this mean that we worked with the Japs to eliminate the Eighth Route Army? We can't do such a sinful thing. If we do this, we will remain. Infamy.¡±
Xiao Liuzi had a headache. He asked: "Boss, we are going to fight the Japanese, but the Eighth Route Army cannot be let in. What should I do?"
Li Qinglin smiled. Said: "You will not be subject to foreign military orders. As a frontline commander, you have the right to make temporary decisions on the battlefield. However, I still want to remind you that in order to achieve the purpose of long-term resistance, it is important for us to keep the Eighth Route Army as an anti-Japanese force. The most beneficial.*1*1*¡±
Xiao Liuzi is not stupid either. He thought about it and finally said with a smile: "Boss. I know what to do."
Early the next morning, the officers returned to their posts. The war was imminent, and the ninth detachment began to prepare for the war under Liu Changda's dispatch.
¡°In the Eighth Route Army¡¯s First Military Division in Northern Henan, the Eighth Route Army was also taking urgent action. Iijima joined the battlefield. This information was naturally not ignored by Liu Zhenghong and others. Last night, the Eighth Route Army also held a night-long meeting at the Hu's shack.
Because some adjustments had to be made to the deployment in front of a new powerful enemy, the emergency meeting chaired by Liu Zhenghong finally decided that Yuan Dabeard's mission would remain unchanged. It is still necessary to contain the Japanese and puppet troops led by Shimanaka, and the team led by Liu Zhenghong must shoulder the task of containing the Iijima troops.
As a new force joining the battlefield, Iijima is stronger than Shimanaka and is very popular. The troops in Liu Zhenghong's hands are not the elite of the First Military Division. They fight against the Japanese with troops that are not even fully equipped with weapons. The consequences can be imagined, so Yuan Dabeard repeatedly insisted on containing Iijima at the meeting.
However, Liu Zhenghong rejected Yuan Dashu's suggestion. Liu Zhenghong said: "You have now been in contact with the troops on the island, and the corresponding measures have been arranged. If you withdraw, will the previous deployment have to be changed? We Do you have such time? Also, even if you want to withdraw, can the island allow you to escape easily? "
Liu Zhenghong's statement was the current actual situation, and Yuan Dabeard could not come up with any good reasons to refute him. Finally, Yuan Dabeard sighed: "Old Liu, your side is too weak. I think it is better to come from our side. Allocate some weapons to you."
Liu Zhenghong shook his head and said: "Lao Yuan, I know the background of the team. Anyway, we are just to contain them. The main battlefield is still on your side. Instead of both sides being weak, it is better for your side to be stronger. I think we should not do this again. It¡¯s been transferred back and forth.¡±
Yuan Bearded sighed and said: "Old Liu, we are all soldiers. This time the enemy is coming fiercely and is determined to deal with us. I know what will happen to you over there. If the situation is real If it doesn¡¯t work, the worst we can do is return to our old base.¡±
Liu Zhenghong said seriously: "Comrade, we came as a party to open up a new base area. Since starting from the old base area,We sacrificed so many comrades and went through such difficult times before we established this small world in northern Henan. The northern Henan region has always been a barren land. If we withdraw, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted? "
"But" Yuan Dabeard wanted to say something else.
"It's nothing." Liu Zhenghong interrupted him and said: "Old Yuan, our troops are divided into two groups. Even if there is an accident on one side, as long as we get off the other side, it will leave a fire for the party in northern Henan. . Where there is struggle, there is sacrifice. We are all materialists and we are never afraid of sacrifice."
Liu Zhenghong is the political commissar of the military division and the top leader of the military division. He represents the organization, and his attitude is the final decision of the organization. Yuan Bearded no longer argued, he shook hands with Lao Zheng tightly, then saluted Liu Zhenghong respectfully, turned around and went to catch up with the troops.
After Yuan Bearded Man left, Liu Zhenghong sorted out his thoughts. He called his staff and ordered: "Those who have guns and ammunition in the team will form a combat force. Their mission is to contain Iidao and cover the safe transfer of the people; the rest of the people will form a work team. Lead and organize the transfer of people."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhenghong issued a new order: "All personnel must dress lightly and throw away all items that are not conducive to the march."
"What should we do with the common people? They have brought a lot of things with them." the staff officer asked.
Liu Zhenghong decisively ordered: "This time is different from the past. The Japanese have many troops and are coming quickly. If we are not careful, we will be bitten by the enemy. The common people must do their work first. If they can't do their work, we must force them to leave their jobs behind." Pans and jars. Party members should take the lead and tell the villagers that it doesn¡¯t matter if things are lost, as long as our people are here, we can replace them in the future."
The base of the people of ** is good, and the current enemy situation is very serious. After intensive work all night, the people have basically listened to the advice.
Early the next morning, under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army staff, the common people dropped their heavy burdens and began to move along with the covering troops.
Before the transfer, Liu Zhenghong divided the troops into two again. Combat-effective soldiers and militiamen formed a containment team and followed him to contain the Iijima troops; agency staff and grassroots cadres led the people to the predetermined lake beach, where there was a large reed field, which could basically hide these people. .
Just when Liu Zhenghong was gathering his troops and preparing to leave, Ma Chunchang came over on horseback. He came to the Hu family shack with Xiao Liuzi's secret order.
Ma Chunchang brought with him a list of weapons and ammunition. It said two machine guns, fifty rifles, two hundred grenades, and ten thousand rounds of bullets. And Ma Chunchang also emphasized that these weapons and ammunition are on their way to be transported.
Liu Zhenghong was overjoyed after receiving the list. You must know that at this time, a regular combat company of the Eighth Route Army did not necessarily have so many standard weapons. Even if it had so many guns, it might not have such sufficient ammunition.
Liu Zhenghong held Ma Chunchang's hand tightly, and a wave of warmth surged into his heart. He said repeatedly: "Thank you to the friendly forces, thank you to the friendly forces! You really provide help in times of need! Thank you, Commander Li, and thank you, Captain Xu!"
Ma Chunchang's mind was quite clear. He held Liu Zhenghong's hand and said: "Political Commissar Liu, you also know that we are taking risks by sending these weapons quietly. In order not to be discovered by some people, this batch of ammunition was quietly transported overnight. If you come out, don't hesitate, send someone to pick it up as soon as possible, and don't make any publicity about it."
Liu Zhenghong immediately called Zhou Yougen. He handed the weapons list to Zhou Yougen and ordered: "Captain Zhou, organize your soldiers and order them to hand over the existing weapons to the militia immediately, and then you will immediately receive these new weapons empty-handed. .Remember, actions must be confidential and actions must be swift.¡±
Zhou Yougen was holding the list of weapons, his hands were shaking. This was not the first time Zhou Yougen received weapons from Xiao Liuzi, but this time Xiao Liuzi gave them basically new weapons, and the weapons supported this time The amount of ammunition is very large. One weapon and ammunition can equip a squadron of troops. Zhou Yougen knew that this was Li Qinglin and Xiao Liuzi doing their best to help them.
Zhou Yougen's face was flushed. He gave Liu Zhenghong a military salute, then turned around and ran to his army. He immediately organized his personnel to follow Ma Chunchang to welcome the new weapons.
Liu Zhenghong and the others are taking action, and the Japanese are also stepping up their actions. The troops in the island are still advancing slowly step by step, but the troops in Iijima are speeding up today.
When Iijima got off the train from Luocun yesterday, he was still aware of the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army. As a soldier who came to the Chinese battlefield very early, he was well aware of the power of the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army. Iijima, who had experience of head-on confrontation with the Eighth Route Army, had no idea about the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare.It can be said that I understand it quite well, and I also know that the tactics of the Eighth Route Guerrilla War are just those tactics. However, even though I had some preparations, Iijima still suffered many losses during the battle. (To be continued
