Just when the entire line of Little Japs came to a halt, the various units in the fifth theater were also able to take a breather.
Li Zhongren ordered all ministries to repair the fortifications while the Japs stopped attacking. He also discussed with the headquarters staff why the Japs suddenly stopped attacking.
Some believe that it was under Li Zhong's wise leadership that the front-line combatants severely damaged the Japanese vanguard, while others believe that it was Li Zhongren's proper command that prevented the Japs from taking advantage of them, and the Japs therefore stopped attacking. .
Although Li Zhongren did not reject these flattery words, he knew very well that 80% of this matter had nothing to do with his command, but because of the Dragon Boat Festival.
After entering the enemy's hinterland, this Dragon Boat Festival defeated three cities in a row and directly severely damaged the Japanese Fifth Division.
News came back from the military commander that the Fifth Division had been crippled and that the entire division had less than 3,000 troops.
That was an entire division. In just ten days, it had turned into the miserable situation it is now.
When Li Zhongren received the information, he had the urge to cry with joy.
However, he guessed that the supervision team might also suffer a lot.
Otherwise, why would the supervision team retreat quickly and enter the territory of Mount Tai?
Judging from the fighting intensity of the Supervisory Corps, Li Zhongren felt that the Supervisory Corps was most likely running out of ammunition.
Of course, Li Zhongren's guess was correct. After staying in the enemy's hinterland for so long and fighting so many feet, Li Zhongren was able to retreat completely. This was already a great thing.
It's a pity that although the little devil suffered heavy losses, his combat effectiveness still caused heavy losses to the front-line units.
Otherwise, Li Zhongren really wanted to organize a major counterattack.
Of course, Li Zhongren just thought about it, how easy is it to organize a major counterattack?
What's more, even if a major counterattack is organized, can it still reach the foot of Mount Tai?
Now, there is at least a distance of more than two hundred kilometers from his frontline troops' defense area to the foot of Mount Tai. With the current situation of his troops, he simply cannot do this, and the loss of troops is too great, and he may not even be able to save Xuzhou.
But he couldn't help but ask about the Dragon Boat Festival. After all, the identity of the Dragon Boat Festival was there.
So he sent a telegram to the Chairman explaining what he knew now. It is also speculated that Dragon Boat Festival retreated to Mount Tai due to lack of weapons and ammunition supplies. But the exact location is unknown.
The Chairman was not too surprised when he saw Li Zhongren's telegram. Because he already knew the news.
What he is worried about now is another thing, that is, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army has also entered Mount Tai. But they should be in the eastern area of Mount Tai.
Therefore, the chairman is a little worried that the Dragon Boat Festival may be red.
Thinking of this, the Chairman ordered the guard: "Go tell Secretary-General Yang and ask him to send a telegram to Duanwu to ask about the current situation of his troops and see if there is a possibility of breaking out south?"
"yes!"
The guard took the order and immediately went to Secretary-General Yang's office.
Secretary-General Yang is sorting out reports from various war zones. He will sort out all these reports and then select the most important ones to report to the Chairman.
He also reported to the Chairman of the Committee that the Dragon Boat Festival entered the territory of Mount Tai and the 115th Division also entered the territory of Mount Tai.
At this moment, the guard conveyed the chairman's order, asking him to confirm the current situation of the Dragon Boat Festival Supervisory Corps.
Secretary-General Yang knew what the chairman was worried about and quickly sent a report to the supervision team.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, soldiers were being organized to repair houses in multiple villages, with Jiazhuang as the center and covering the six surrounding villages. Everyone was stationed in the village.
The supervision team needs to rest, at least those injured need to rest.
And some of the wounded were seriously injured and needed urgent surgical treatment.
There is also the Drug Supervision Corps. In the previous battle with the little devils, a lot of drugs were seized.
So Dragon Boat Festival didn't have to worry about medicines. What he was worried about was that the Japs would come sooner or later.
He was preparing for an ambush in Tarzan. Entering Mount Tai is his Dragon Boat Festival world. At least in Taishan territory, Dragon Boat Festival is not afraid of the little devils surrounding him.
What's more, Ma Ping'an just found him and told him the good news that the 115th Division was in Mount Tai. But they are on the east side of the Taishan Mountains, at least three hundred kilometers away from them.
But this is still good news for the Dragon Boat Festival. Because at least the little devils couldn't surround him from the east.
So this Mount Tai is great, it is exactly the place where Dragon Boat Festival dreamed of fighting guerrillas.
However, at this moment, a telegram from Secretary-General Yang was sent, asking about the casualties of the Dragon Boat Festival troops, as well as the status of weapons and ammunition.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival cried bitterly, saying that the troops suffered heavy casualties, there was a severe shortage of weapons and ammunition, and even the transport truck was bombed. Moreover, the number of wounded increased sharply, and necessary medicines were lacking. I hope the party-state can give it a hand.
"·············"
Secretary-General Yang was speechless when he received the call back, because he always felt that the Dragon Boat Festival was so familiar. It seemed like he could hear it all the time.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army is also in Mount Tai. This is what the chairman is most worried about, and it is also what he, Lao Yang, is most worried about. Because before, Dragon Boat Festival was suspected of being pro-underground party members. At this time, they entered the same base area behind enemy lines as the Eighth Route Army.
So Secretary-General Yang sent another telegram, suggesting that during the Dragon Boat Festival, don't get too close to the underground party. This was the chairman's reversal. Even if it is you, Dragon Boat Festival, if you are suspected of being pro-underground party members, you will probably be thrown into jail.
Obviously, it is impossible to kill Duanwu, but locking him up is certain.
Moreover, Secretary-General Yang instructed that if possible, he could ask the Chairman of the Generalissimo to give Li Zhong an order to launch a sudden attack on the Japanese army and create a gap in the Japanese defense line, and the Dragon Boat Festival Supervision Corps could go south to fight with Li Zhongren. Reunion.
Duanwu looked at the telegram and was speechless, because how long has it been and you are still having internal conflicts?
Duanwu ignored this and just called back to say that the supervision team was resting and recuperating, and there were insufficient weapons and ammunition and too many wounded to break through, so they needed to wait for the opportunity.
And he tactfully warned Secretary-General Yang not to make unnecessary sacrifices. If possible, the supervision team would break out of the encirclement on its own.
Of course, this is all a delaying tactic. Damn it, the firepower of the Supervisory Corps is not as good as before. It broke through more than 200 kilometers and returned to the Kuomintang-controlled area. Are you kidding?
If you supervise the team during a complete victory period, you don't even have to think about it in Dragon Boat Festival. He didn't even pay attention to the Japanese Fifth Division. Who else could stop him on the Japanese front on the northern front?
But at this moment, at that moment, his automatic weapons almost all stopped in the successive battles. Although equipped with more than half of the Japanese machine guns, the firepower is still not comparable to before.
Moreover, the troop was severely depleted, and the new recruits had no combat effectiveness. To break out now, unless he went crazy during the Dragon Boat Festival! .
