At this time, Zhang Dabiao said: "This time, except for the fourth battalion of our independent regiment, the other seven main battalions have come, and even the artillery company, armor company, and cavalry company have also come. There must be a lot of movement."

"That's it." Wang Huaibao said, "I reckon, most likely they will fight An Hua."

"What? Fight Anhua?" Shen Quan frowned and said, "No, if you really want to fight Anhua, why did you transfer our independent group to Crouching Tiger Town?"

Xu Yougeng also echoed, "That's right, Crouching Tiger Town is located at the southernmost point of the Crouching Tiger Mountain base, about [-] kilometers away from Anhua. What kind of deployment is this?"

"What deployment? Can't you see it?"

Zhang Dabiao snorted and said, "Obviously let our independent regiment fight back."

"What? Let our independent group fight against it?" Shen Quan jumped up when he heard the words, and said with a dark face, "Who will be the main attacker?"

"Who will be the main attacker?" Zhang Dabiao said angrily, "Is there a need to ask? It must be the new regiment, and you don't even think about who is the commander in chief of this battle, it is the commander of the new regiment Ding."

Hearing this, the faces of Shen Quan and the other battalion commanders suddenly collapsed.

Sun Desheng was even more anxious, and said with a dark face: "No, I have to find Lao Wang."

"Well, let's go together." Shen Quan echoed, "How did he become a staff officer for this campaign? Why the fuck did he win a blocking mission for our independent regiment?"

When several battalion commanders were furious, Fan Guangou suddenly said weakly: "That, that..."

Sun Desheng was in a bad mood, so his tone of voice became very aggressive, and he said with a dark face: "God, what is this and that, what do you want to say? Om?"

Fan Guangou whispered, "When I was buying fodder in the next village, I met Captain Gao of the new cavalry company."

"You mean Gao Daquan? Hasn't this kid already been promoted to battalion commander?" Having said this, Sun Desheng suddenly reacted, and said, "Gouzi, you mean Gao Daquan's younger brother, Gao Dayou? He has been promoted to company commander ?”

"Yes." Fan Guangou nodded and said, "Commander Gao is also buying fodder in that village."

Zhang Dabiao's expression changed, and he said, "Gouzi, do you mean that the cavalry company of the new regiment has also come here?"

"It must be coming." Fan Guan nodded vigorously, and said again, "Otherwise Company Commander Gao wouldn't need to buy so much fodder."

"This is something new." Zhang Dabiao said, "Whether it is our independent regiment, the new first regiment or the new second regiment, the cavalry company, as a regiment directly under the regiment, has always acted together with the regiment headquarters."

Shen Quan went on to say: "The arrival of the tall and powerful cavalry company means that the regiment headquarters of the new regiment has also arrived."

Wang Huaibao went on to say: "The regiment headquarters of the New First Regiment has come, which means that the main force of the New First Regiment has also come. Is it possible to concentrate the two main regiments to fight and let the new second regiment be the main attack? Impossible? What the hell is this formation? Anyway, I can't understand it, what do you think?"

Several battalion commanders shook their heads.

In the end, Fan Guanqu whispered: "Will you hit other targets?"

"Other targets? Where are you talking about?" Shen Quan said casually, "Taiyuan? Do you think it's possible..."

Speaking of this sudden stop, Shen Quan couldn't say the last word "do", Zhang Dabiao and the battalion commanders' eyes suddenly lit up, mother, they don't really want to fight Taiyuan, do they?

While speaking, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded on the road ahead.

When he turned his head anxiously, he saw Gu Xiaobei, the head of the communication team, rushing in on a fast horse.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang." Gu Xiaobei shouted loudly from a distance, "The headquarters has an urgent order!"

Zhang Dabiao's expression froze immediately when he heard the words. There were two deputy chiefs of staff of the independent regiment, but he was the only one surnamed Zhang.

At that moment Zhang Dabiao stepped forward quickly, Shen Quan and other battalion commanders also subconsciously followed, all wanting to hear what kind of combat order the headquarters issued to the first battalion?

Gu Xiaobei quickly came to the front and said loudly: "Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang, the headquarters ordered you to immediately lead a battalion to go south along Tongpu Road, and seize Niuwang Village before midnight today, and wait after seizing Niuwang Village. Further orders."

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao stood up suddenly and replied loudly, "Seize Niuwang Village before midnight today."

Watching Gu Xiaobei's figure go away, Zhang Dabiao turned back and shouted: "Guard, map!"

Zhang Dabiao's guard hurried over and took out the map from his satchel.

"Here." Wang Huaibao quickly found Niuwang Village on the map, and said excitedly, "Taiyuan is only less than fifteen kilometers away. This time we really want to fight Taiyuan!"

Zhang Dabiao had already rushed back to the camp of the first battalion.

"Bullerman!" Zhang Dabiao yelled as soon as he returned to the station, "Blow the rallying call! The whole battalion is urgently assembled!"

The next moment, the assembly horn sounded, and accompanied by the loud and clear bugle horn, a battalion of soldiers who were sitting and resting in the streets and alleys jumped up and came to the town to assemble.

……

At the same time, in Liao County headquarters.

The Japanese army's raid against the Taihang Military Region has officially begun.

The Japanese army of about two divisions, divided into four groups, has penetrated into the Taihang Military Region.

After receiving the report from the front line, the various ministries and headquarters of the Eighth Route Army immediately organized the evacuation.

There are a lot of personnel and equipment in the headquarters. The branch of the Anti-Japanese University and the branch of the Zhonghua News Agency alone have a large number of documents and printing equipment. It is a sharp weapon in the war of public opinion, so you must not give up easily.

When the deputy chief of staff came back from his inspection tour, he found that the boss was still there, and he was in a hurry.

"Boss, why haven't you left yet? The devil's vanguard is only ten kilometers away, so hurry up." After speaking, he said to the company commander of the guard at the headquarters, "Commander Tang, protect the boss and evacuate quickly."

Company Commander Tang could only smile wryly. He had tried to persuade him many times, but it was useless.

When the deputy chief of staff was about to get angry, the boss waved his hand and said, "Don't blame Xiao Tang, I asked to stay. As the deputy commander, I must be the last one to leave. This is the party's organizational principle."

"Boss, the safety of the entire army is tied to you." The deputy chief of staff persuaded.

"You don't need to say it." The boss said with a straight face, "I will stay here until all the relevant personnel in the headquarters are evacuated, and I will not go anywhere."

The face of the deputy chief of staff suddenly collapsed.

Just when the deputy chief of staff was about to order the security company to forcibly carry away the boss, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a short but strong soldier walked in quickly.

"Report!" The short but strong soldier stood upright and said proudly, "Feng Xianghe, captain of the Sirius Squadron of the new regiment of the [-]th Brigade, led the Sirius Squadron to report, please give instructions!"

"You are Feng Xianghe?" The boss said happily, "I have heard of your name."

"Ah?" Feng Xianghe scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Boss knows me?"

"Of course I know you." The boss said with a smile, "Wang Ye relied on you to control the error of the blasting point within ten meters in the breakout battle of Shuiyao Mountain."

Feng Xianghe couldn't help but correct him: "Boss, it's not ten meters, it's one meter."

"Oh yes, it's one meter." The boss smiled and said again, "I remembered it wrong."

The deputy chief of staff next to him asked, "Xiao Feng, is your entire Sirius Squadron here?"

"Report to the Deputy Chief of Staff, the entire Sirius Squadron is here." Feng Xianghe replied proudly, "It's just outside."

"Okay, it's good that we're all here." The deputy chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. A company of guards alone is not enough to guarantee the safety of the headquarters, but adding the Sirius Squadron will make a difference immediately.

The Sirius Squadron is a special force well-known throughout the Eighth Route Army. Its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. The combat effectiveness of a Sirius Squadron is even far better than that of a main battalion.

At this time, the boss said again: "Xiao Feng, isn't your mission a battlefield reconnaissance? Why are you running away from me?"

"Boss, our mission has changed." Feng Xianghe replied, "Now our mission is to ensure the safety of the headquarters at all costs."

The boss said: "Who gave this order?"

Feng Xianghe said without thinking: "An order from Deputy Chief of Staff Wang."

The boss said: "Then I will revise this order now. You will still go back to the front line to be responsible for battlefield reconnaissance and battlefield intelligence collection, which is more important than the security of the headquarters."

Feng Xianghe said: "I'm sorry, boss, our Sirius Squadron is not a unit directly under the [-]th Division, nor a unit directly under the headquarters, but a unit directly under the Xinyi Regiment of the [-]th Brigade, so according to the organizational principles, you cannot Leapfrog to our Sirius Squadron and directly issue combat orders."

The boss was speechless when he heard the words.

Because the Eighth Route Army does have this principle.

Unless there is an emergency, the headquarters organization does not have the power to directly issue combat orders to subordinate units at the lower level. This is also the experience summed up after learning the lessons of the Kuomintang army.

So what counts as an emergency?It is the time of life and death.

So is now the time of life and death?Obviously not.

Therefore, even the boss cannot directly give orders to the Sirius Squadron.

"This Wang Ye." The boss said with a dark face, "I will dismiss him later and let him come to the headquarters to feed the horses."

"Boss, I support you, so you should let Xiao Wang come to the headquarters to feed the horse." The deputy chief of staff almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

"What are you enjoying? What is there to enjoy?" The boss said angrily, "Do you really want him to come to the headquarters to feed the horses? I think you want to find yourself a capable staff officer? I'm not as good as you willing."

At this time, Feng Xianghe suddenly said again: "Boss, we discovered an important situation on the way here."

"Oh? What's the situation?" Hearing this, the expressions of the boss and the deputy chief of staff suddenly became serious.

Feng Xianghe said in a deep voice: "The devils driving along the Yuliao Highway are fake, they are pretended by the Third Division of the Puppet Army."

"Huh? The ghosts driving along the Yuliao Highway are faked by the Third Division of the Puppet Army?" Hearing this, the faces of the boss and the deputy chief of staff suddenly changed. This was somewhat beyond their expectations.

After a while, the deputy chief of staff said, "Xiao Feng, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, it's the puppet army pretending to be it." Feng Xianghe said very firmly.

While talking, another tall and strong Eighth Route Army soldier strode in.

"Butcher, you're here too?" Feng Xianghe looked back, but it was Yang Hu, the captain of the Violent Wolf Squadron.

Needless to say, Yang Hu and the Wolf Squadron also came to protect the safety of the headquarters under Wang Ye's order.

Yang Hu nodded at Feng Xianghe, then saluted the boss and the deputy chief of staff, and said loudly: "The leader of the Wolf Squadron of the New Second Regiment of the [-]th Brigade, Yang Hu, led the Wolf Squadron to report. previous instructions."

"Take it easy." The boss replied with a military salute, and this time he didn't mention the modification of the order.

The deputy chief of staff is quite determined at this meeting. With the Wolf Squadron and Sirius Squadron, there will be no more problems with the security of the headquarters.

My heart said that Comrade Wang Ye was really caring.

The safety of the headquarters is always concerned about hundreds of kilometers away.

At this time, Yang Hu went on to say: "Boss, Deputy Chief of Staff, we have discovered an important situation. The devils driving from Luyang are pretending to be puppet soldiers."

"What, the ghosts from Luyang are also fake?"

The deputy chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Boss, if this is the case, are the devils coming from the other two directions also fake? Are they also pretending to be puppet soldiers?"

The boss said: "This possibility is very high."

The deputy chief of staff asked again: "What is the devil's intention in doing this?"

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff said again: "Could it be that what the devils are singing is a trick to scare the snake away? Using two divisions of the puppet army to pretend to be the main force of the devils to mobilize us, and then the real main force of the devils is waiting outside, waiting for us The troops transferred to the outer line have thrown themselves into the trap? Finally, we will wipe out our main force?"

Hearing this, the boss's expression changed immediately, and he said anxiously: "No, quickly order the troops that broke out separately to stop."

The deputy chief of staff said: "The problem is that our troops operate in separate battalions and companies, and our radio stations are only equipped at the brigade level. It is impossible to notify all the troops that broke out separately in a short time."

The boss said: "Send out the communication platoon and the guard company, and all the staff officers. Even if you run to your death, you must notify all the breakout troops in the shortest possible time."

Chapter 437 Artillery Positions

Silent night.

In the inner city of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi.

In the war room, a huge sand table has been set up.

According to the latest battle report just submitted by the Communications Section, Masao Inamori has already marked the battle on the sand table with several combat staff officers from the Operations Section.

Masao Inamori held a long wooden pole in his hand, pointed at the sand table and said to Yoshio Iwamatsu and Masa Hanagu: "Your Excellency, Commander, and Chief of Staff, please look here, here, here, and here."

"The eight regiments of the [-]rd Division and [-]th Division of the Imperial Association Army have arrived at the designated positions, and have formed a situation of encircling the core area of ​​the Taihang bandit area of ​​the Eighth Route Army."

"Yoxi." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded happily.

Hua Guzheng said again: "What's the reaction from the Eighth Route Army?"

Masao Inamori said: "The response of the Eighth Route Army is yet to be reported by the forward scouts..."

As soon as the voice fell, Inoue Yasushi, the head of the communications section, walked in quickly, and immediately reported: "Your Excellency, the frontline scouts have just sent back news that the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area has broken through separately."

"Your Excellency, Commander, everything seems to be going well." Hua Guzheng said.

"Yoxi." Yoshio Yanmatsu nodded happily, and then said, "Order the scouts at the front to continue to strengthen the reconnaissance, and then notify the advancing teams of the participating divisions to strengthen the reconnaissance in various areas around the Taihang bandit area. Once the Eighth Route Army is found Signs of regrouping in this area must be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible."

"Hai." Yasushi Inoue paused heavily, turned around and left in a hurry.

Masao Inamori started the sand table operation with two combat staff officers.

It mainly presents the split-up breakout of the Eighth Route Army on the simulated sand table.

Seeing Masao Inamori busy on the sand table with two combat staff officers, Yoshio Iwamatsu asked Masao Hanagu again: "Hanagu-kun, is there any unusual action by the Eighth Route Army in the Bandit Area in Northwest Shanxi and the Bandit Area in Taiyue?"

According to Ryuichi Sakamoto's judgment, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi will definitely take action. This is what Yoshio Iwamatsu is most worried about. The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is too aggressive!

Hua Guzheng replied: "As of now, no abnormalities have been found."
