"Hey, if anything happens, just tell me."
Duanwu was looking at the map, looking for an ambush location or the best location for a night attack. However, at this moment, Zhou Tianyi used the radio to directly request to talk to Duanwu.
So at this time, Duanwu didn't have time to say polite words to Zhou Tianyi, but asked directly.
"hey-hey!"
Zhou Tianyi laughed at first, and then said: "Commander, it's like this, what is the mission of our special battalion? Many brothers don't know. And the three orders you issued in succession made the brothers very puzzled. . Hehe! Actually, I don’t quite understand, hehe!”
Duanwu said without hesitation: "The first order is for you to give the illusion of blocking, making the enemy mistakenly think that we are retreating, forcing them to bypass you and pursue the cavalry battalion.
Originally, I was afraid that if the ambush failed and the enemy retreated, you would be able to intercept the enemy. But the ambush was successful and the enemy had been wiped out.
And the second order is precisely because we have wiped out the surprise attack force, asking you to retreat and join me.
The third order was that the first battalion was frustrated at the ferry. The Japanese army was well prepared and deployed heavy troops at the ferry, with five Japanese warships assisting in defense.
So I decided to give up forcibly crossing the river and teach the Japanese Fifth Division a lesson first. And you may have to go through a very brutal battle. Go and ask your brothers. If anyone is afraid, I will attack the fourth battalion. "
After that, Duanwu hung up the communication and continued to look at the map.
At the same time, Zhou Tianyi finally understood what was going on. He turned around and yelled: "I have understood everything. No one is allowed to discuss it anymore. Also, we may have to go through a big battle soon." , give me a good beating, don't embarrass our special first battalion."
"What kind of big battle are you going to fight in the camp?"
At this moment, the old cat ran over again and asked.
Zhou Tianyi thought for a while and said: "Our way across the river has been blocked by the Japs, and we are going to fight back. Although I don't know how we are going to fight this battle, but it will definitely not be small. So we have to do it We are fully prepared. When necessary, our special battalion is like a nail, nailing it firmly here."
"That stupid little devil dares to cut off our escape and do his stupid thing!"
The old cat became angry and lost his previous temper. And he complained before just because he didn't know what his combat mission was.
Of course, if the battalion commanders of the former supervision corps had not asked so many questions, the regimental commander would have just carried out the orders.
But the Special First Battalion had just joined, and even Zhou Tianyi was almost led astray by the old cat.
At the same time, Dragon Boat Festival was discussing with Ma Ping'an, who had returned.
Ma Ping'an said that the Li Yunlong Division of the 129th Division, as well as the independent regiment and the New Second Regiment, had begun to attack HD City. The battle was fierce. The little devil has reinforcements and has returned to HD. In other words, the Japanese army on the Western Front should have been weakened.
The Japanese troops on the eastern front have arrived near Pingyin County, and they are heading in the direction where they are now.
But Ma Pingan felt that these people must be very tired. They marched more than 100 kilometers in two days without a moment's rest, so they rushed from Pingyin County to Lizhuang again.
Duanwu smiled and said: "That's good. I will take action immediately and bring back the second and fourth battalions."
"What about the first battalion?" Ma Pingan said in surprise, because the first battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness.
Duanwu opened the map at this time and said: "Look, the vanguard of the Japanese army on the Western Front should set off from Liaocheng. They are only about 70 kilometers away from Pingyin. But they will not set off towards Pingyin after crossing the Yellow River. Because We are no longer in Pingyin at this time.
They will go south along the banks of the Yellow River, because our troops have appeared near the ferry.
Moreover, I have asked the first battalion to make the illusion of crossing the Yellow River to confuse the enemy. In this way, the enemies on the western front will rush towards the first battalion, buying enough time for us to fight on the eastern front.
Of course, at this time, the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front are very likely to ask for help, and the Japanese troops on the Western Front will change their routes to come for support.
But as soon as they moved, the First Battalion would attack him from his flank, forcing him to stop and exchange fire with the First Battalion. And in this way, the battle on our side will be much easier. "
When Ma Pingan heard this, he nodded frequently. Dan Xuan said: "If I had known earlier, we would have crossed the river directly from the ferry on the west side of Pingyin, and then headed south from the west bank."
Duanwu smiled and said: "I have thought about it before, but if we cross the river on the west side of Pingyin, the room for maneuver will be very narrow. Once we are blocked at the ferry, we will be directly flanked by the Japanese army near the river bank.
And by that time, it would be difficult to predict how many people in the entire supervision team would die. Because this ferry is too close to Dong'a and Liaocheng. It's so close that I don't dare to bet on how many reinforcements the Japs will have.
And judging from the information we have received so far, it’s a good thing we didn’t go. Five Japanese warships had already taken control of the river early. If we forcefully cross the ferry west of Pingyin, we may encounter crazy bombardment by Japanese warships. "
"kindness!"
Hearing this, Ma Pingan nodded heavily. And Dragon Boat Festival also packed up his things and got ready to go. But at this moment, the communications soldier came to report with a telegram: "Reporting to the regiment, there is a call from the fifth theater. Commander Li Zhongren has ordered the 55th Army and the 56th Army to launch a counterattack across the board. They will move the troops Advance to the Dongping County area to meet us, allowing us to jump out of the enemy's encirclement from the direction of Dongping County."
Duanwu immediately shook his head and said: "No, the casualties of the 56th Army and the 55th Army will definitely be huge. They will not be able to hold on to the original defense line for long. Such a sudden advance will definitely cause even greater casualties, so the defense line collapses.
You call back immediately and ask Li Zhongren to consolidate the defense line. If the Japanese army invades, you can temporarily avoid the enemy and lure the enemy deep into the enemy to fight a small battle with the Japanese in Taierzhuang. Let him remember that this battle is actually a war of attrition. The little devil is coming fiercely, and you must use your energy and cut off his hands and feet to win. "
"yes!"
The communications soldier took the order and went to call back Li Zhongren. Li Zhongren frowned slightly after seeing the telegram. Because he felt that Dragon Boat Festival was still too young, so why didn’t he know the Chairman’s good intentions? The Fifty-fifth Army and the Fifty-sixth Army were all Han Fuju's subordinates. Although Han Fuju is dead, the Chairman's heart has not been opened. These two armies, including the Twelfth Army, were to be weakened and disintegrated.
"The 55th Army and the 56th Army were telegraphed to act according to the plan. The Japanese army must be defeated and a gap opened in Dongping County.
Then he told Duanwu that the 55th Army and the 56th Army had already taken action. If they were to withdraw from the battle now, the casualties would be even greater. Okay, let’s go! "
Li Zhongren gave the order, and his communications officer took the order, and then sent the telegram back to Duanwu! .
