Chenjiayu, headquarters location

"Boss, the new regiment has not yet broken through the Japanese blockade, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties;

The 28th Regiment spent a day and a night at the top of Guiwei Ridge. He Weidu went to the battlefield to fight with his bayonet. The sound of gunfire from the direction of Guiwai Ridge has stopped. The situation is not good!"

The deputy chief of staff reported the latest battle situation to the boss. He was worried about something happening over there with the 28th Regiment. The gunfire had stopped for more than an hour now. If the 28th Regiment's defense line was breached by the Japs, then the Japs would have to kill Chenjiayu within an hour at the latest.

.

"There will be no problem at Guiwei Ridge. If He Wei's regiment cannot even hold Guiwei Ridge, I will remove him as the leader."

The boss said very domineeringly that he still had confidence in He Wei.

In this winter offensive, the Japs only dispatched a total of more than 20,000 people, but more than 10,000 Japs gathered around Chenjiayu. They were all rushing to the headquarters. There must be something wrong here!

The more the boss thought about it, the more he felt it was possible...

"Assistant counselor, what do you think is the problem?"

"Boss, now is not the time to consider this issue. Let the guard platoon cover your retreat into the mountains alone. If something goes wrong with you, I cannot bear the responsibility."

"Deputy Counselor, I can't leave the headquarters alone and leave alone. We must trust our comrades!"

The boss didn't want to go alone, and he didn't have any good ideas.

At this time, a staff officer ran in excitedly and reported:

"Report to the leader, our reinforcements are coming!"

"Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from?"

"Boss, isn't it Chu Xiong who is here? Yesterday the brigade commander called and said that he had notified the Liuzhen Independent Battalion to come for reinforcements. They are more than a hundred kilometers apart."

"Deputy Staff Officer, don't you dare think that that boy from Chuxiong can arrive? It's just one battalion, more than 100 kilometers away, and we have to pass through several blockades. Even I can't believe it!

Come on, let’s take a look and see.”

Half an hour later, Chu Xiong met his idol boss in his previous life for the first time. He excitedly gave him a salute:

"Report to the boss, Chu Xiong of the 386th Brigade Independent Battalion led the first, second and third companies to report!"

The boss burst into laughter upon hearing this, then turned to the deputy counselor and said:

"I just said that we must believe in our comrades. Not only did He Wei come back, but he also brought us Zhao Zilong from Liuzhen. He traveled more than 100 kilometers in more than ten hours. This is Zhao Zilong of our Eighth Route Army."

The boss is indeed a sweet-tempered person. Chu Xiong is a little embarrassed to be praised. Zhao Zilong's metaphor is still a bit inappropriate. He is only a small battalion commander, at most he can be regarded as a low-end version of Liao Hua.

"Boss, you are exaggerating. I, Chu Xiong, am at most a small soldier in the Eighth Route Army. I have an order from the headquarters to arrive even a thousand kilometers away, not to mention a hundred kilometers away!"

"Chu Xiong, you kid, stop playing tricks. I know your abilities very well. Liu Zhen did a good job in several counter-mopping raids!"

As soon as the boss finished speaking, he immediately asked He Wei about the battle situation in the direction of Guiwailing. This was what he was most concerned about.

He Wei gave a detailed report to the boss. After listening to it, the boss cheered loudly:

"Okay, you have wiped out all the Japs in the direction of Guiwei Ling. A big hole has been opened in the Japs' encirclement. But there must be more than this line of defense in the direction of Guiwei Ling."

"Now let's discuss the direction of the breakout. One is the direction of Guiciling Ridge, and the other is the direction of Qijia Town where the new group will attack."

The deputy counselor's opinion is to break out from the direction of Qijia Town. With Chu Xiong's three companies of reinforcements, it is completely possible to break out from the front;

He Wei's opinion is to break out from the direction of Guiwailing, as no new enemies have been found in that direction yet;

The boss felt that both of them were reasonable. One was a known danger and the other was an unknown danger. He decided to ask Chu Xiong for his opinion:

"Chu Xiong, tell me your opinion?"

Chu Xiong felt quite surprised. He was just a small battalion commander, and the boss still considered his own significance in making such an important decision. He thought carefully for a few seconds and then expressed his thoughts:

"Boss, my opinion is to break out from the front from the direction of Qijia Town. The New Regiment has been fighting the Japanese on the front for more than a day. The New Regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese's casualties and ammunition consumption will not be small;

I have always believed that unknown dangers are often the greatest dangers, and the direction of Qijia Town is much simpler. As long as the Japanese are defeated head-on, all problems will be solved, and the problem of who should be left behind will be avoided."

After listening, the boss asked Chu Xiong:

"Chu Xiong, how many people have you brought this time? Are the weapons and ammunition sufficient? How confident are you of a frontal breakthrough?"

"Report to the boss, with more than 1,300 people, 5 mortars, more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, and sufficient ammunition, I am confident of defeating the Japanese head-on!"

Chu Xiong replied loudly.

The boss could hardly believe his ears, and then he got angry:

"Okay, Chu Xiong, do you have three companies? A reinforced regiment is not as generous as you. You bastard are making fun of me. I will withdraw you as the battalion commander after this battle is over!"

The deputy counselor was also very happy after hearing this. With such a rich fortune, he was more confident to break through from the front.

Chu Xiong was like a little classmate who made a mistake, standing there obediently and being scolded, waiting for the storm to pass. But he knew that his boss had a habit of saying that whoever scolded him the most meant he liked him.

The deputy staff officer started to come out to smooth things over. This was his normal operation. He was good at being the lubricant between the boss and the lower-level commanders. This was an essential quality for the chief of staff.

"Boss, even if you want to evacuate Chu Xiong, you still have to wait for him to finish this battle. The New Regiment is fighting very hard. You just have to wait for the new force of the Independent Battalion to pass."

When the boss heard this, he stared at Chu Xiong and said:

"Why are you still standing there? It doesn't matter how you beat me, as long as I defeat the son of a bitch head-on, I will leave Chenjiayu with my head held high!"

"Yes! I promise to defeat the son of a bitch head-on!"

After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he saluted and left. He had to vent his anger on the Japanese!

"Stone, is Stone back?"

After Chu Xiong returned, the first thing he did was to find Shitou. Before going to see the boss, he sent Shitou in advance to investigate the enemy's situation in the direction of Qijia Town. He had to first find out the enemy's troop strength, firepower configuration, and where the weak links were.

!

Chu Xiong had never thought about taking the direction of Guiwailing. The New Regiment was already stuck with the Japanese. If the headquarters broke out from Guiwailing, the New Regiment would be chased and beaten by the Japanese, and it was certain that they would suffer heavy losses.

Breaking out from Qijia Town is different. The independent battalion can fight the Japanese together with the New Regiment, and there is no need to worry about fighting on two sides. The Japanese in the direction of Guiwailing have just been maimed, and even if there are reinforcements, they will not arrive for a while.

"Batalion Commander, Shitou and the others haven't come back yet!"

Li Qing came up and said.
Chapter completed!
