Anti-Japanese Democratic Government Qixian County Government Huangdong Township Hutaoquan Village foothills.
Commanders at all levels of the military division gathered together to welcome the arrival of the independent regiment leader. After receiving the news from the correspondent, county government personnel and several leaders of the military division went down the mountain to greet him.
Seeing that his old comrades were so respectful, Captain Lu hurriedly greeted everyone, led the guard squad behind, and dragged each other into the village with a few old acquaintances, greeting and teasing them warmly.
Several people talked happily for a long time as if no one was watching, and someone next to them interrupted: "I said, Lao Lu, you guys are coming very slowly. Is it the turtle's? The battle is about to start, and you just arrived?"
Commander Lu glanced at this man and said with a smile: "Ah, isn't this Commander Zeng? Why, your cavalry regiment relies on everyone's six legs. Do you want to laugh at us? How is your injury?"
"Hey, I'm very well now. You don't need to care." Commander Zeng, the military division cavalry commander, looked down upon him, and then introduced the people next to him: "This is my partner, political commissar Kuang."
Captain Lu was the first to reach out and said: "Political Commissar Kuang, you have to keep an eye on him. This guy is a guy who doesn't care about his life on the battlefield."
"Hello, Commander Lu." Political Commissar Kuang immediately extended his hand enthusiastically.
"This is Divisional Logistics Minister Han."
Captain Lu measured it up and down, and Minister Han felt uncomfortable: "What's wrong?"
"Haha, I've seen you in the division before. You were still the battalion commander at that time, right?" Commander Lu has a good memory.
The person next to him immediately interrupted: "You must be stupid, everyone is now a minister, deputy brigade level, and you are a bad regiment commander. You have been working in the mountains for four or five years, and you haven't made any progress at all, haha..."
"Captain Lu played a major role in keeping an eye on the south gate of the division. There are only four companies in the regiment, right? Hehe..." Minister Han hurriedly made a rescue, but he hit a sore spot in Commander Lu's head.
"You have to be ridiculous. I gave you that 92 cannon. What are you talking about?" Captain Lu smiled and hugged Minister Han's shoulders.
Minister Han pushed Commander Lu away and said with a smile: "I'm telling you, the cannon was arranged by the division. Don't get too close to me. Don't ask me for anything in the future."
"When should your armored vehicles be returned to us?" Commander Lu stretched out his hand.
"Repay you? It's shameless. I gave you a guerrilla brigade for free. I gave you all the large land in the west of An County. What else do you want? Let me tell you, if I hadn't pitied you, your independence group would still be there now. Drink the northwest wind in the mountains!"
"So, I still have to thank you?"
"What do you think?"
"That's true. I wonder who this time is asking for reinforcements from the division?"
Minister Han quickly changed the subject: "Hey, is that girl here too this time? I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her so much."
"Don't talk so much, let's get down to business first." Captain Zeng said and pulled a few people into the room.
The security platoon of the independent regiment was arranged to rest in a nearby place.
"Okay, okay, let's talk business first." Minister Han asked everyone to sit down.
"When will dinner be served? We are still hungry." Captain Lu was not polite at all. They were all comrades who came together during the Long March.
"Can you please stop being so shameless..."
"You can talk while eating..." Captain Lu has rarely been so happy.
"I'm talking about Lao Lu, I'm asking you if Chang Yatou is here, what are you talking about?"
"They came from another station, with the political commissar taking them. They are probably arriving soon." Captain Lu finally answered Minister Han's question.
"Hey, have you taken Xi Shi, the nurse from the division hospital?" Captain Zeng asked intentionally.
"None of your business."
"Speaking of which, your company commander is really arrogant. He made several chiefs to death because of his anger, haha..."
"Don't tell me that you invited me here this time, but you just want to listen to some of your chiefs talking like gossips?"
"Hey, let's discuss it? I'll replace that girl in your regiment with a whole shift!" Commander Zeng, who was always smiling, rarely teased like this.
Commander Lu looked Commander Zeng up and down: "You are so ugly, but you think you are so beautiful!"
"Has the report been filed? When will we have the wedding banquet? You have to be careful and don't let someone snatch you from your wedding night."
"When it's your turn, I'll tell you, I won't invite you to drink this wine, I'll make you mad..."
Not long after, someone walked out of the conference room and yawned: "Lao Lu, you are finally here. How many people are back here?"
"Report to the commander, most of the independent regiment is here. Please give your instructions." Commander Lu quickly saluted. The division commander was one level higher than him.
"We all know that your regiment has a small number of people, so you can't bring in people who can't go to the battlefield to make up the number. We've agreed in advance that bullets can be replenished for your regiment. If you bring soldiers who don't even have guns, I'll say something ugly. Go ahead, be careful I'll cut you." The commander said with a smile.
"Two battalions are back now, isn't it interesting? You really don't have to worry about guns or anything!" Commander Lu finally said hard.
"Don't worry? Well, I originally prepared dozens of old sleeves for you. You still don't want it? Don't cry in front of me if you don't have a gun!" Minister Han said with a smile.
"Oh, do you really want to use those broken guns of yours to kill the beggars? If you really want to give me fifty thirty-eight pieces, I won't call you poor!"
"Hey, you think so, I only have the old sleeve, do you want it or not?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What should be added, Lao Lu, you will arrange for someone to pick it up soon, and don't let anyone gossip about our military division."
After the commander finished speaking, he turned to the map hanging on the wall and said to everyone: "The current situation is favorable to us. According to the situation reported by the scouts, there are only two squadrons in the county, and most of the Japanese troops of more than 400 people are here." Stationed near the train station, most of the other people guarding the county are security forces."
Captain Lu took a sweet potato from the bowl that the soldier next to him had just brought, and without even peeling it, he stuffed it into his mouth: "Commander, just tell me how to fight? Is it to encircle the area to provide reinforcements, or to capture the county seat in one go?" ?”
The commander smiled slightly: "You're so impatient, let's clarify the situation first. This time, the division's order requires us to capture the important railway town of Qixian. What's advantageous to us at the moment is that the Japanese don't know about our troop deployment and the county seat." There are not many ordinary people in the surrounding villages, and the Japanese are busy attacking the national army in the south, so we took the opportunity to cut off their supply lines!"
The divisional chief of staff immediately added: "If we can occupy the county seat, it will not be a problem to evacuate the county seat. If we destroy the train station next, the Japanese will definitely launch a massive attack to recapture Qixian County, the important railway town. At that time, we will attack eastward." , take this opportunity to capture Hua County, and then connect with the Luxi base area."
Commander Zeng added from the side: "Lao Lu, we have studied it several times before you came. You just have to obey the command when the time comes."
"Then what else are you talking about? When will we take action? How many people should be arranged in the city?" Captain Lu asked smoothly.
The staff officer opened the folder in front of him: "Do you still know that you need to arrange internal responses to attack the city? Haha, I can't hide anything from you. More than 140 people from the divisional special agent company have entered the city in batches. The county's troops have been investigated clearly. There is only one The squadron has an estimated number of one hundred and fifty. Including the puppet police reconnaissance team, the total number does not exceed five hundred. We have mobilized more than two thousand troops now, so it is not a big problem to take down Hua County."
The commander glanced at Commander Zeng: "It's just that your cavalry will have to work harder this time. You will destroy the railways and roads as planned, and blow up the Qihe railway and highway bridges. You must not let the Japanese reinforcements from the north cross the Qihe River."
"Don't worry, we've been prepared for a long time." Commander Zeng saluted. The cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses when they were raided by the Japanese last time, and they haven't recovered their strength yet. Otherwise, this time when attacking the county town, there would be no need to ask the poor. The jingling independent group came to lend a hand.
Commander Lu looked at the map: "I feel that if we want to take Qixian County now, our troops are a bit weak."
The commander looked at Commander Lu and said, "That's why we invited all the available troops nearby. The Japanese are also human beings. Our troops are almost ten times theirs. If we can't defeat them, we'll all go home to take care of our children." Got it!"
"Does the national army have any arrangements in the south? If they can put some pressure on the Japanese, will it be easier for us to fight?"
"National Army? Are you having a fever, Old Lu? They have a lot of troops, but do they have the courage?"
"That's right." Commander Lu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Needless to say, the time to attack Qixian County is set at seven o'clock tomorrow evening. After capturing the county seat, we must evacuate the county seat within 24 hours, then cross the railway and retreat eastward!" The commander's political commissar staff had already prepared the situation in the county seat. Clearly.
Winning the county seat is a sure thing!
