After Jiang Zhen heard this, he waved his hand to show that he agreed with Li Yan's approach. When Li Yan saw this, he did not delay anymore, but turned around and ran towards the Xishan South Bridge. After about five minutes, Li Yan
Then he came to the gate of Xishan Nanqiao base area, stopped, rested briefly, and then hurriedly walked into the base area.
As soon as Li Yan stepped forward, an Eighth Route Army soldier walked up to Li Yan and asked, "You are Li Yan, the leader of the reinforcement regiment in Xishan County, right?" Seeing Li Yan nodding in confirmation, the Eighth Route Army soldier
Then he continued: "Commander Li, you came just in time. Our second brigade commander wants to see you for something, and he is right there now." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the combat command room.
Li Yan looked in the direction of the Eighth Route Army soldier's finger and saw the Second Brigade Commander standing in front of the combat command room who had been waiting for a long time. When he saw this, Li Yan quickly walked up to the Second Brigade Commander and wanted to convey what he had just done in Xishan.
The situation in the middle section of the railway and the next plan were told to the second brigade commander. However, just when Li Yan was about to speak, the second brigade commander preemptively asked:
"Captain Li, I know you came here to talk about the Xishan Railway, but now that the Japanese train has been destroyed, the Xishan Railway can no longer be used as a transportation channel in a short period of time. In this case, you are here
Xishan Nanqiao came to see me. I guess you must have some follow-up work that has not been completed. Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
At first, Li Yan wanted to convey the ins and outs of the previous Xishan Railway incident to the two brigade commanders, but judging from the current situation, the two brigade commanders have obviously obtained the information about the Xishan East base area. What he must do now is
All that was left was to inform the second brigade commander of the plan and arrangement of the finishing work. Thinking of this, Li Yan put aside the previous things that happened in the middle section of the Xishan Railway, then raised his head and looked at the second brigade commander and said:
"Second Brigade Commander, you are right. The reason why I came to you this time is indeed related to the Xishan Railway that has been bombed..." Li Yan cleared his throat slightly and continued to explain: "
Now it is true that the Xishan Railway can no longer be used as a transportation channel for the Japanese, but other parts of this railway
The parts are still intact, which means that if the Japanese forces in Xiangmashan change their plans and change their transportation focus from the northern area of Xishan to the southwest of Xishan, they can still use this half-disused railway to achieve their goals."
When Li Yan said this, he turned around and pointed to the southwest of Xishan:
"Although our Xishan front seems to have taken shape in general, looking at the details, the defensive strength of the three positions of southwest Xishan, northwest Xishan and northern Xishan is still very weak. Although these Japanese soldiers currently in Xiangma Mountain
They can no longer think about the two locations northwest of Xishan and north of Xishan, but they still have loopholes to exploit in the southwest of Xishan, and this loophole
It's the railway I just mentioned, which we think has been abandoned. So in order to prevent the conspiracy of these Japanese soldiers from succeeding, I would like to ask you to allocate some troops from the Xishan Nanqiao base area, or temporarily move it.
The location of the Xishan Nanqiao base area will move the entire force to the southernmost side of the Xishan Railway to coordinate with the next actions of our Xishan East base area and Xishan County."
After hearing this, the second brigade commander immediately seemed a little embarrassed. He thought about it back and forth first, and then said slowly: "If you are sending troops to station, I can temporarily lend you part of it, but if you ask me to move the entire base there,
Go, I may not be able to do it
, the Japs stronghold on Xiangmashan Middle Road is very close to us. I think if we move directly to the vicinity of the Xishan Railway, these Japs soldiers may take the opportunity to infiltrate near the Xishan South Bridge. If this is really the case, we will then
There will be big trouble when you come down."
Li Yan smiled and then explained: "Second Brigade Commander, you didn't understand what I meant. I just said that I wanted you to temporarily move the location of the Xishan Nanqiao base. I didn't say that I wanted you to leave Xishan Nanqiao permanently.
, The reason why I did this is because if you transfer more than half of your troops to the southern section of the Xishan Railway, these Japanese soldiers may take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, which will inevitably cause damage.
If you transfer all the large troops to the Xishan Railway, what I said before will not happen. And I think it is impossible that the thieves from the Japs stronghold on Shanzhong Road just now may take the opportunity to penetrate into the Xishan South Bridge.
It will happen because Luo Han is still guarding Xiangma Mountain. Although the troops he has cannot match the large number of Japanese troops, it is more than enough to contain these Japanese soldiers."
After Li Yan finished speaking, the second brigade commander seemed to have taken a reassurance and calmed down, but he was still thinking quickly in his heart. When the second brigade commander truly confirmed that Li Yan's thoughts would not cause
After some mistake, he agreed to Li Yan's idea, then walked to the open space, gathered all the troops in the base area on the open space, and prepared to start a temporary transfer. Upon seeing this, Li Yan said goodbye to the two men.
Brigadier, run towards Xishan County.
As soon as Li Yan entered the south gate of Xishan County, he saw Liu Guangyao who was counting people not far from him. When he saw that the troops had returned to Xishan County, Li Yan didn't care about anything else and ran directly towards Liu Guangyao. Liu Guangyao heard
When there was a voice next to him, he turned to look. When he saw it was Li Yan, Liu Guangyao came up to meet him. He pointed in the direction of Xishan South Bridge and asked, "Brigadier Jiang just said that you went to the Xishan South Bridge base area. Is there anyone there?"
What's up?"
Li Yan nodded slightly, and then briefly conveyed what had just happened to Liu Guangyao. Seeing that Liu Guangyao had understood, Li Yan came to the reinforcement team and told all the brothers in the reinforcement team about his next plan.
once, and then gathered the entire reinforced regiment together and left Xishan County along the west gate.
City, go through the Xishulin in front of you to the vicinity of the Xishan Southwest Base, then slightly deviate the direction of the team, cross the Xishan Southwest Road, and march towards the central section of the Xishan Railway. Wait until the entire unit arrives at the designated location.
, Li Yan took out the flare gun he had prepared in advance and fired a shot into the sky.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army troops on the Xishan South Bridge happened to arrive at the southern end of the Xishan Railway. Seeing a flare in the northeast, the Second Brigade Commander standing in front of the team also took out a flare gun and raised it to the sky, and pulled the trigger. Seeing this, Li Yan
Then he felt relieved, and at the same time, he quickly divided the reinforcement regiment troops into three columns, lined them up along the railway, and issued the order to start destroying the railway.
