Lincheng, 97th Army Headquarters
Lieutenant General Zhu Huaibing was in high spirits. He had just received a commendation from someone in Shu. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"Commander Sun, a gold-touching captain, is good at robbing tombs, but when he saw the Eighth Route Army, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, shrinking back;
Without the cooperation of his New Fifth Army, our 97th Army would still beat the crap out of the Eighth Route Army. Can the shabby weapons of the Eighth Route Army stop the tigers and wolves of our 97th Army?
At first, you were worried that you would be reprimanded by the boss for starting a fight, but now you see, the boss will be rewarded with electricity!
Military is the continuation of politics. We must not only lower our heads to fight, but also raise our heads to look at the sky and understand the holy will! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Cai of the 93rd Division, Commander Zhang and Chief of Staff Lin of the newly-organized 24th Division, and others all praised the commander for being wise, winning the respect of the president, and holding the Sacred Heart in place, making flattering noises.
Zhu Bading continued:
"Everyone, we have got Shang Fang's sword now, Zhong Cao is watching us, don't worry and hit me!
This time we also make a dumpling for the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. As long as the Eighth Route Army Headquarters is completely annihilated, Zhongcai will not treat you badly, and it is possible to even upgrade to three levels. "
When Mr. Cai and Mr. Zhang heard that Zhongcai was paying attention to him and that he had been promoted to the third level in a row, they were so excited that they felt like they were getting excited. This was an opportunity to show their faces!
The 97th Army is a newly reorganized force. It can only be regarded as a marginal force in the Central Army. If you want to obtain the Sacred Heart, you must find another way;
Definitely not going to fight the Japanese. The Japanese are like wolves and tigers, so it would be better if they don't devour them. If we want to succeed, we can only work hard at creating friction and dye the tops on their heads red with the blood of the Eighth Route Army.
Teacher Cai knew that it was time to express himself, otherwise the credit would be taken away by Teacher Zhang. He rolled up his sleeves and said loudly:
"Military seat, our 93rd Division is willing to be the pioneer and take down the Eighth Route Army headquarters for the country. It's up to you, brother!"
When Master Zhang saw that he had fallen behind, he also said in a loud voice:
"My newly formed 24th Division only followed the military commander's lead and followed the military commander's lead!"
When Zhu Bading saw that the following two capable generals were of the same mind as him, there would be no problem in dealing with the Eighth Route Army. If the newly formed Fifth Army was willing to come, he would be the one to come. If not, the 97th Army would take all the credit.
"Very good, everyone, I order the 93rd Division as the vanguard and the newly formed 24th Division to attack from the left wing and capture the Eighth Route Army's southern Hebei base within three days..."
Following Zhu Huaibing's order, the two main divisions of the 97th Army continued to advance into the hinterland of the southern Hebei base area.
129th Division Headquarters
Commander Liu was in front of the map, thinking about how to deal with this old boy Zhu Huaibing. The headquarters also came with instructions, just one word - fight!
If you can't bear it anymore, you don't need to bear it any more, and you should treat the stubborn soldiers with tooth for tooth;
I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will offend them.
The political commissar stretched his head over, handed the division commander a cup of hot water, and said:
"Old man, Zhu Bading, this old boy, is holding back all his energy to see the friction through to the end. The independent detachment called, and the first unit of the stubborn 93rd Division has entered their defense area. Like a bull, it is rampaging through the base area;
They asked if they could give the bull a stick? "
Teacher Liu said without thinking:
"Don't worry, let the independent detachment get out of the way after a brief contact and let them in!
In my opinion, if the entire 97th Army is brought in, we will either not fight, or if we want to fight, we will hurt them;
You try your best to keep the New Fifth Army neutral. This time I will concentrate my forces to fight them in a battle of annihilation. I will completely wipe out the vanguard of the friction, the 97th Army! "
The political commissar raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said cheerfully in his thick Sichuan accent:
"Old man, you have a big appetite this time. When we swallow the 97th Army in one gulp, the one in Shu is going to scold Niang Xipi!
What are your plans? "
Commander Liu introduced the map to the political commissar:
"Old man, look, I am going to concentrate the superior forces of the 13 regiments to annihilate the 97th Army that is advancing alone, and form a central column with the youth column and the advancing detachment;
The right column is composed of an independent detachment, a special agent regiment, and the first section of the New 1st Regiment;
Take the 1st Brigade of the Advance Team as the left wing;
Use an independent guerrilla detachment to set up ambushes at key points on the defile between the ancient city south of the Zhang River and Guantai, and concentrate three times the superior force to annihilate Zhu Huai's headquarters of the stubborn 97th Army that broke into the base area!
Please also ask the headquarters to coordinate the 2nd Column to command the 344th Brigade, 385th Brigade, New Army Death Squadron and other units to contain the stubborn troops south of Luzhou in the Huguan and Guring areas..."
When the political commissar saw that the pocket array had been set up, he was just waiting for the stubborn soldiers to get in and make big dumplings. Then his task was to be a good lobbyist and persuade Commander Sun's newly formed Fifth Army to remain neutral.
"Old man, I completely agree with this battle plan. I'm going to work on the New Fifth Army. This time I am going to completely beat up these stubborn troops who are causing friction, so that they will not dare to extend their claws to the Eighth Route Army in the future;
If you dare to reach over, chop him off! "
The political commissar said domineeringly.
Just as the political commissar was about to leave, the division chief of communications came in with a message in his hand and reported to the division commander and political commissar:
"The 81st Division Independent Brigade is calling from Chuxiong!"
The two old guys looked at each other and became curious. Mr. Liu directly reached out and took it. After looking at it carefully, his expression became very strange;
He handed it to the political commissar casually. After reading it, the political commissar couldn't help laughing and said:
"This Chu Xiong is not afraid that we will tell the boss about him!"
After hearing this, the division commander couldn't help but smile and said to the political commissar:
"This kid Chu Xiong's old habits haven't changed at all. Now that he's here and wants to be Changshan Zhao Zilong, then we give him a chance to take the head of a general out of a million soldiers?"
The political commissar nodded and said:
"The opportunity can be given. After the fight is over, I will report him to the boss, unless 10 Wei Shen cannons are used to stop my mouth!"
"Old man, it seems I still don't have as big an appetite as you. I was thinking of at least 8 doors just now!"
"Hahaha……"
The division commander and political commissar laughed almost simultaneously.
"Chief Liu, call Brigadier Chu back and tell him that I agree with his plan. When he takes off the enemy general's head, that's when our department launches a counterattack. Keep in touch at any time when it's convenient."
After Commander Liu gave Chu Xiong an answer, he plunged into the map again. Now that Chu Xiong was a surprise soldier, the previous battle plan had to be adjusted accordingly;
If Chuxiong's tactical goal is achieved, the time to win the battle will be greatly shortened, and the losses of the Eighth Route Army will also be greatly reduced. Even if the New Fifth Army does not agree with neutrality, it will not be a big problem. If you dare to come, we will deal with it together!
