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, so that the enemy will 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 completely wiped out.
And the second order is precisely because we have wiped out all the surprise attack troops, asking you to retreat and join me.
The third order was that the first battalion was frustrated at the ferry. The Japanese army had already prepared and deployed heavy troops at the ferry, and there were five Japanese warships to assist in the 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 experience a very cruel battle. Ask your brothers. If anyone is scared, I will put the Fourth Battalion on top.
"
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, and turned around and shouted: "I have understood the matter completely, 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 battalion."
"Bingzuo, what kind of big battle are you fighting?"
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 little devils, and we are going to fight back. Although I don't know how we are going to fight this battle, 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 things!"
The old cat became angry and lost his temper. Before, he complained only 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 Pingan 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 devils had reinforcements and returned to HD. In other words, the Japanese army on the western front should be weakened.
Already.
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 bank 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 in the direction of 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 reroute to come for support.
But as soon as they move, the first battalion will attack him from his flank, forcing him to stop and exchange fire with the first battalion. In this way, the battle on our side will be much easier."
When Ma Ping'an heard this, he nodded frequently. But he immediately said: "If I had known better, we could have crossed the river directly from the ferry on the west side of Pingyin, and then went 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 attacked by the Japanese army near the river bank.
And by that time, it is difficult to predict how many people in the entire supervision team will die. Because this ferry is too close to Dong'a and Liaocheng. It is so close that I dare not bet on how many reinforcements the little devils will have.
And judging from the intelligence we have received so far, thanks to us not going there, five Japanese warships have already controlled the river channel early. If we forcefully cross the ferry west of Pingyin, I am afraid we will encounter crazy bombardment by the Japanese warships."
"kindness!"
Hearing this, Ma Pingan nodded heavily. Duanwu also packed up his things and prepared to leave. But at this moment, the communications soldier came with a message and reported: "Report to the regiment, there is a call from the fifth theater, Li Zhongren
Sir, we have ordered the 55th Army and the 56th Army to launch a counterattack across the board. They will advance their troops 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 sharp attack, lure the enemy deep, and fight a small battle with the Japanese in Taierzhuang. Let him remember that this battle is actually a war of attrition. Xiao
The enemy is coming with great force, 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. After Li Zhongren saw the message, he frowned slightly. Because he felt that Dragon Boat Festival was still too young, why didn't he know the good intentions of the Chairman? Fifty-fifth Army, Fifty-sixth Army
Army, those are all subordinates of Han Fuju. Although Han Fuju is dead, the Chairman's heart is still uneasy. These two armies, including the Twelfth Army, will 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 tell Duanwu that the 55th Army and the 56th Army have already taken action. If they withdraw from the battle now, the casualties will 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!
