"Report!" A voice sounded at the door of the war conference room.
Lao Li walked to the door and opened the door of the conference room. The first thing he saw was the dying Eighth Route Army soldier leaning against the brick wall. He walked up to the soldier and observed it carefully. Suddenly, he was shocked: This is not his mission.
A scout who went out? He raised his head again and asked the soldier next to him: "What's going on? What happened?" The soldier looked at Lao Li and took out a crumpled paper from his arms.
The note was handed to him and he replied: "They ran into the Japanese while performing their mission, and a comrade... died..." When he heard this, Lao Li suddenly felt dizzy.
If Yan and Liu Guangyao held him up, he would definitely fall to the ground.
After a while, most of Lao Li's dizziness disappeared. With Li Yan's help, he returned to the room and opened the note in his hand with the faint light of the oil lamp. The things on the paper were actually very simple.
: A straight line runs from south to north and branches into three branches when it reaches two-thirds of the way; there are two circles to the south of the straight line, one big and two small, the big one is in the south, and the two small ones are in the whole
In the center of the note. At the same time, Lao Li also saw the annotation in the lower right corner of the note, which read: Large, one hundred and five thousand; small, one hundred and twenty. "This number should be the Japanese army's strength, and the other
That small circle... must be the location of the Japanese arsenal, right?" Li Yan, who was standing aside, asked.
"If this circle is the arsenal of the Japs, then do we have to change our plan?" Liu Guangyao asked tentatively. Old Li pondered for a while, then raised his head and waved vigorously and retorted: "We can't change it, if this
Did the Japanese deliberately put this thing here to confuse us? Then didn’t we fall into their trap?"
"Old Li, what if it's a feint attack? Separate a small part of the troops in the middle to feign an attack on the arsenal the Japs mentioned. Anyway, no matter where the Japs move their troops, they have to pass through the main road at Nantou, and there is an ambush of our army there, so we will continue to do so.
I don’t think there’s any danger in shooting this thing. And if that’s really an arsenal, I think the other brothers won’t need several people using one gun in the future.” Li Yan interjected.
Lao Li stopped talking. His eyes were fixed on the arsenal on the picture for a long time without moving. At the same time, his right hand was tapping the table. After hearing what Li Yan said, he did not move.
He immediately decided to divide his forces to capture the "Arsenal", but he was thinking about why Yokota put this thing in such a place that was right or wrong. In his opinion, as long as it existed, it was
It makes sense. "I don't know if you have noticed that the place you call the arsenal on the drawing does not have troops deployed. Just imagine, the arsenal, a military important place, would not be guarded by troops? Even a person would not be guarding it.
No?"
Li Yan did not continue. Lao Li's analysis of the overall situation was correct, but he seemed a little unsure about the real and fake arsenals. According to common sense, a military important place would send troops to guard it no matter what.
It is safe, but it does not rule out the possibility of the Japanese setting up a plan to empty the city. After thinking for a long time, Li Yan finally did not suggest that Lao Li divide his troops to attack that building. In the entanglement of whether to do this or not, he decisively chose the latter. Anyway, the battle was won.
Later, he could also take his own troops and go back there to encircle him from north to south. Then he would know whether it was true, he thought to himself.
Li Laopao no longer focused all his energy on this so-called "arsenal". Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Guangyao, who was standing aside, and waved his hand, indicating that he should go out first. Following this gesture, Liu Guangyao began to
He moved his feet and slowly walked out the door. Seeing this, Li Yan followed Liu Guangyao and prepared to leave the war conference room with him. Unexpectedly, before he could reach the door, Li Yan was sitting on the chair.
Lao Pao then spoke: "Li Yan, you stay."
What does this mean? At this time, Li Yan was also a little confused, but he did not refute. He just stopped his steps in response to Li Laopao's order and stood silently watching Liu Guangyao walk out the door.
.
Seeing Liu Guangyao leaving, Li Laopao stood up and walked to the door and closed it. Then he turned back and looked at Li Yan. He seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated. After a long while, he said this to Li Yan: "
Li Yan, if you are still alive after this battle, you will be the leader of the independent group. Xiao Liu is a bloody man and a man, but he is too reckless. I am very worried if this continues."
If ordinary people heard such words, they would have been elated. Think about it, an unknown soldier was suddenly appointed as the commander of the regiment, which is almost like reaching the sky in one step. But Li Yan didn't think so. Although he knew Liu Guangyao, he didn't know Liu Guangyao.
However, during these days in the concentration camp, Liu Guangyao took care of himself more or less, not to the point of living and dying together, but he could be regarded as a brother. On the other hand, if he rashly became the leader of the regiment, then
With Liu Guangyao's character, he would probably think that he had cheated on him in front of Li Laopao. In the hearts of the brothers of the Independent Regiment, only Liu Guangyao could really be called the leader. If Liu Guangyao were to be treated like this,
If Guangyao is removed, it will be difficult to improve his prestige, and it may even trigger military revolt, so he will not accept the letter of appointment from Li Laopao under any circumstances. Thinking of this, Li Yan, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said:
"Chief, I can't be the leader of this group."
As soon as he heard this, Li Laopao's expression changed immediately. He thought that such a young boy dared to talk to him like this? But he did not have an attack, because in his heart, the boy in front of him had no idea about marching and fighting.
Tao is still very insightful. If he gets angry recklessly and scares him away, wouldn't it be a huge loss? After thinking for a long time, Li Laopao decided to compromise. Li Yan wouldn't leave for a while anyway.
, if you take your time, you might still be able to keep him.
Li Laopao pretended to sigh deeply, sat back on the chair, raised his head and stared at Li Yan and said slowly: "If you don't want to, forget it, but you have to promise to bring me with you in the battle at Xishan."
Second group!"
Li Yan stood at attention and replied loudly: "Yes! Complete the task resolutely!"
Li Laopao waved his hand: "You can go too."
"Yes!" Li Yan responded, and then walked quickly to the door, but as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Lee Kuan Yew.
"Captain, why are you still here? Why don't you go back to the barracks to rest?" Li Yan asked.
Liu Guangyao's eyes rolled: "I saw that the guards in the war room were not here, so I stood at the door for a while, just in case."
In fact, Liu Guangyao was not acting as a guard to protect Li Laopao, but was eavesdropping on the conversation in the combat conference room. Of course Li Yan understood this, but he did not say it outright, and just stared at Liu Guangyao.
Silent.
The two stared at each other like this for a long time. Finally, Liu Guangyao, who couldn't control himself anymore, took Li Yan's sleeves with his hand and took him aside. At the same time, he said: "Brother Li Yan, I know that you are a person who values friendship.
But what happened last time when we broke out...Brother, you should lead this independent group."
"Fart! Liu Guangyao, are you still a man? If you make one mistake, you will become a bear bag? I will still lead my second regiment, and you will still be the leader of your independent regiment. Okay, go back and rest. You are a voluntary guard.
Just pretend it never happened." Li Yan cursed in a low voice.
Liu Guangyao suddenly felt ashamed in his heart. He said nothing more, but stood up and walked silently towards the barracks. But after taking a few steps, he heard the door closing from the combat conference room, and Liu Guangyao turned around.
Look, it’s Li Laopao.
Li Laopao glanced at Li Yan who was standing aside, and then walked slowly to Liu Guangyao: "Xiao Liu, I heard that there is a female soldier in your regiment who asked Xiaomei to disguise herself as a man and follow you to fight the Japanese. Is this the case?
?" As soon as these words came out, Li Yan felt a little awkward: Why did Li Laopao suddenly ask about Xiaomei?
Liu Guangyao didn't have much scruples. He raised his head and looked at Li Laopao and said with a smile: "Lao Li, you are so damn well informed. There is indeed a girl named Xiaomei in our regiment who has been fighting with me for almost a year.
Although she is not a man, she is much braver than men in fighting... Hehe."
Li Laopao lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly kicked Liu Guangyao and cursed: "Who are you fucking with?"
But he didn't show any pain. He tilted his body and replied: "I'm sorry, Old Li, I'm used to it."
"Damn it, are you used to coming to my place? Okay, let's not talk about this, Xiao Liu, I'm going to transfer that Xiaomei..." Before Li Laopao finished speaking, Liu Guangyao became anxious: "Old Li,
Aren’t you going to transfer Xiaomei to the front line? That’s not possible! That’s what I said just now..."
Li Laopao shook his head: "Are you in a hurry? I haven't finished my words yet! There are no rules! In fact, I plan to transfer Xiaomei to Li Yan's second regiment as a medical soldier and follow him to fight the Japanese. If Li Yan is injured,
It would be nice to have someone take care of me, what do you think?"
Liu Guangyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Before Li Laopao could say the next sentence, he saw an Eighth Route Army soldier running toward him in a panic. He seemed to be injured. Upon seeing this, Li Laopao hurried forward to greet him and asked: "
What's going on? Why are you injured?"
"Chief, when we were patrolling outside, we discovered that there were Japanese military activities in the direction of Xishan. Judging from the direction, they should be coming towards us, and there are quite a lot of them. Chief, couldn't the Japanese have noticed something?"
the soldier asked anxiously.
Li Laopao's face began to become serious, and he murmured to himself: "What a Yokota, they want to attack before we can attack him! Okay, I will let him come back today!"
Everyone gathers and prepares to fight!"
