Zhou Weihan turned around and took a look, and couldn't help but feel happy.
I saw Li Yunlong, with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, walking together with Wang Yigong, the leader of the fourth regiment, and speaking in a very angry tone: "Damn it, my legs are almost broken by running away, it's still too late after all."
Got it!"
"Li Yunlong, you can't blame me. Who told your new group to stay far away? The location was not chosen well!" Zhou Weihan couldn't help but joked when he saw Li Yunlong's accommodating attitude.
"Go, go, go, our new regiment suffered huge losses in this battle, not to mention the casualties, and we also lost weapons and equipment!"
Li Yunlong then rolled his eyes and said sourly: "Old Zhou, did that old boy Zhu Huaibing get caught by your independent detachment?"
"It's not that easy. Zhu Huaibing escaped from the military headquarters like a cicada!" Zhou Weihan explained.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase!" Li Yunlong said and was about to lead people to chase.
"Old Li, I have sent people there. If you go now, you will definitely be late. Why don't you go back and deal with the defeated troops! You can make some money then, right?" Zhou Weihan suggested.
"What you said makes sense, but you, Lao Zhou, have always been very calculating. Can you give me this good thing?" Li Yunlong asked doubtfully.
"Haha, look what you said, the 97th Army has more than 12,000 people scattered in a radius of dozens of miles. How much appetite does my independent detachment have? Look at Ding Wei's 28th Regiment. They are still finishing the work behind them.
!”
"Then I have to hurry up, Lao Ding is not a good guy, he has a way of cleaning up the battlefield!" Li Yunlong said as he gathered his team and headed north immediately.
Li Yunlong's new regiment has the same role as Jing Dagang's regiment. They are both sharp knife regiments that break through the enemy's defense line. They only fight fiercely along the way, and the follow-up work is left to the rear troops to deal with the aftermath.
Due to the speed of crossing all the way, many enemy troops were defeated and left behind. At this time, Li Yunlong was coaxed by Zhou Weihan with a few words to turn around and collect the defeated troops.
Watching Li Yunlong's new regiment walk away, Zhou Weihan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The munitions depot of the 97th Army was still in the military headquarters compound.
The seizures on the battlefield all depended on the capabilities of each regiment, but the munitions warehouse was a big deal. Political Commissar Deng had to personally divide the various regiments participating in the war after the war. If Li Yunlong found out, he might cause some trouble.
"Monk, call the chief of staff and several regiment leaders!" Zhou Weihan said to the monk.
"yes!"
Not long after, everyone except Wu Qin's three regiments, who were also following Ding Wei's 28th regiment to clear out the defeated troops, arrived in the rear.
"After cleaning the battlefield, the first regiment packed the prisoners and weapons and equipment and went to the 97th Army headquarters to garrison. The second regiment and the fourth regiment, led by the chief of staff, immediately went north to conduct a dragnet search!" Zhou Weihan ordered.
After cleaning the battlefield, Zhou Weihan personally led a regiment to Xihuayuan Town, where the headquarters of the 97th Army was located.
The words are divided into two parts.
Dong Jiang led the soldiers of the reconnaissance company in a truck on the southbound road, rushing to Qijialing.
Qijialing is the only way for the 97th Army to go south to Zhanghe River. When the 97th Army arrived in Tainan, its chief of staff Li Bingwen suggested garrisoning heavy troops at Qijialing.
However, at this time, the 97th Army was in great power in Tainan. Zhu Huaibing did not consider that the 97th Army would be defeated in the battle. Finally, after Li Bingwen's repeated suggestions, he sent a company to garrison here.
After Zhu Huaibing withdrew from the military headquarters, Cai Shaoren, commander of the 94th Division, considered that there were pursuers of the Eighth Route Army in both the east and west directions, but there was no unusual movement from the direction of Qijialing, so he retreated to the direction of Qijialing as usual.
Outside Qijialing.
The second regiment of the Jizhong Garrison Brigade marched rapidly from west to east, with its troops pointed directly at Qijialing.
The Jizhong Garrison Brigade is the main force of the regular army in the Sixth Division of Jizhong. It has two regiments under its jurisdiction. Among them, the First Guard Regiment is the core main regiment of the Sixth Division. It has three battalions and regiments, totaling more than 1,600 people.
The Second Guard Regiment is a basic regiment with no battalion level. The regiment directly governs five companies, with a total of more than 800 people.
The advance scout of the regiment went against the marching team to find the regiment leader Zhao Donghuai and reported the reconnaissance situation: "Captain, five miles ahead is Qijialing. There is about a company of enemy troops stationed here. The enemy troops are defending
Relaxed, without the slightest warning, the weapons include one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns!"
Zhao Donghuai turned his head very quickly and said immediately: "There are still enemy troops stationed in Qijialing, and the defense is loose. It is very likely that Zhu Huaibing has not escaped to Qijialing yet!"
"Political commissar, I will lead three companies to go around and attack from the front, and you will lead two companies to attack from the west!" Zhao Donghuai said.
"First company, second company, third company follow me!"
The marching force of the Second Regiment of the Security Brigade divided into two groups and attacked Qijialing from a pincer attack.
The actions of the Second Guard Regiment did not hide the enemy forces in Qijialing. Seeing the Eighth Route Army coming from two directions, the enemy company commander reacted very quickly.
"Don't be so f*cking dumbfounded. Qijialing is our 97th Army's retreat. If we lose it, our military officers, machine gunners, get ready!" shouted the enemy company commander.
Zhao Donghuai stretched out his right hand to signal to stop the march, and all the soldiers lay on the ground waiting for the order to attack.
"Third company commander, disperse your people to the north. Zhu Huaibing's military headquarters may arrive at no time. I don't want to be dumped by the enemy!"
"One company and one platoon will draw out the enemy's fire points, and then the mortars will find opportunities to hit the enemy's fire points for me!"
This was a fatal order, but the platoon leader who received the order did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, a platoon of more than 40 soldiers spread out and launched a tentative attack on the enemy.
The only 60mm mortar in the Second Guard Regiment was operated by two gunners and was ready to go, just waiting for the enemy's machine gun to fire.
On the enemy's frontal position, a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun were already in place, and the black muzzles of the guns were directed towards the row of charging soldiers.
Seeing a row of soldiers approaching slowly, the enemy company commander immediately ordered: "Fire!"
Hot bullets were fired from the muzzle of the gun, and several soldiers rushing in front were immediately knocked down by the bullets. The remaining soldiers lay on the ground and fought back.
The enemy's company commander was also an experienced commander. After garrisoning Qijialing, he asked the soldiers to clear all obstacles around Qijialing.
Seeing a row of soldiers being hit continuously, Zhao Donghuai's eyes were splitting: "Kill the enemy's heavy machine guns for me!"
The two gunners adjusted the muzzle, "Boom!" A shell flew towards the enemy and exploded near its raging heavy machine gun.
"Quickly, move the heavy machine gun!"
Without waiting for any further reaction from the enemy, the second shell exploded two to three meters away from the heavy machine gun, knocking the enemy machine gunner to the ground along with it.
The enemy's heavy machine gun went silent for a while, leaving only one light machine gun still firing. Seeing this, Zhao Donghuai immediately rushed forward with his men.
The words are divided into two parts.
After an hour of marching, Zhu Huaibing and others finally arrived at Qijialing.
Zhu Huaibing, who has been in a high position for a long time, always travels by car. He has neglected to exercise for many years. If he had not been hoisted in one breath and supported by guards during the more than an hour's march, he would have been unable to endure it.
At this time, when I saw Qijialing in front of me, I was so happy that I immediately collapsed on the ground. My legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't move.
At this time, a soldier from the guard camp reported: "Military seat, there are gunshots in Qijialing!"
Zhu Huaibing's soothing breath suddenly became urgent again. He wanted to stand but couldn't, so he had to look at Cai Shaoren.
Cai Shaoren rolled his eyes and asked, "How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army?"
"Reporting to the division seat, there are about two to three hundred people in the Eighth Route Army!" The enemy soldiers who were scouting did not dare to get too close and vaguely stated the number of people.
After hearing this, Cai Shaoren thought deeply and said: "In my opinion, it would be better to launch a surprise attack from behind the Eighth Route Army and attack from the front and back with the Qijialing defenders. It would be miraculous!"
Zhu Huaibing nodded slightly and agreed with this method.
To be on the safe side, Cai Shaoren immediately found two soldiers of similar size, and he and Zhu Huaibing changed into ordinary military uniforms.
On the other side, the third company commander of the second regiment of the security brigade, who was ambushing on both sides of the road, witnessed the investigation process of the enemy's guard battalion soldiers, but did not alert the enemy's reconnaissance soldiers.
After he left, he quickly sent someone to notify Zhao Donghuai, who was fighting.
"The regiment leader is still right, and he is sure that Zhu Huaibing will come. Let's stop Zhu Huaibing here. Even if we are all exhausted, we still have to give the regiment commander and the others time to take Qijialing!"
"As long as Qijialing is captured, Zhu Huaibing's march south will be blocked. It's worth fighting for everything!" the third company commander said firmly.
Since the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade rushed to Qijialing early in the morning, the situation about Zhu Huaibing reported by Zhou Weihan to the former enemy headquarters was directly transferred to the Jizhong Guard Brigade Headquarters.
The Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade did not have a radio station, and at this time it was not known that there were only about 200 guards around Zhu Huaibing.
