Chapter 7 The situation took a turn for the worse 2
The second brigade commander found that his arm was suddenly pulled hard, so he quickly looked back and saw that the person blocking him was Li Yan. The second brigade commander stopped and stretched out his right hand towards the retreating Japanese soldiers in Xiangma Mountain.
He pointed in the direction, then looked back at Li Yan and asked doubtfully
: "Li Yan, look at these Japanese soldiers who have no ability to resist. If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate them in one fell swoop now, but let the tiger return to the mountain, then they will turn around and attack us again in Xishan."
From the Nanqiao base area!"
After hearing this, Li Yan first waved his right hand, then turned around and raised his head and tapped his chin in the direction of the north exit of Thieves Mountain: "Second Brigade Commander, I have no objection to you wanting to lead your troops to eliminate these Japanese soldiers, but I
I hope that before you launch the charge, you'd better recall how your base area was attacked by these Japs, or how your three regiments of troops were driven out of Thieves Mountain by less than two regiments of Japs.
"
After listening to Li Yan's words, the second brigade commander first carefully recalled everything that happened before and after the battle, then raised his head to face Li Yan and replied: "These Japanese soldiers did not directly send troops to attack us at the beginning.
base area, but took advantage of their artillery fire to bombard us. I guess they wanted to try to take us
Forced out of the base area, if we attack south, they will send troops to encircle us. If we go north, these Japanese soldiers will take the opportunity to occupy Xiangma Mountain. At first, I wanted to contact Luo Han in the central base area of Xiangma Mountain to join my troops.
In response to the Japanese attack, but later found that there was no contact at all..."
Li Yan didn't have time to listen to the second brigade commander's long speech, so before the second brigade commander finished speaking, Li Yan waved his hand to signal the second brigade commander to stop narrating, and then asked: "Second brigade commander, before the Japanese troops
When they attacked your temporary base at Xishan Nanqiao, they used a wide range of artillery fire to cover it. Now they
Although it is in a passive state, if there are pursuers entering Xiangma Mountain at this time, the Japanese soldiers in the central stronghold of Xiangma Mountain can still use the advantage of artillery fire to reverse the entire situation. Your troops have already suffered a lot this time.
If we rush in recklessly again this time, I'm afraid many brothers will be sacrificed."
"Li Yan, do you mean to let me stay here and suffer the loss of being dumb?" The second brigade commander's eyes were wide open, and his heart was full of unwillingness. Li Yan immediately fell silent when he saw this scene, but this silence,
But it was not that Li Yan did it deliberately because he wanted to avoid the second brigade commander's attack, but he was carefully thinking about whether he could not only intercept these defeated soldiers who were fleeing towards the Xiangma Mountain Middle Road stronghold, but also ensure that
The Second Brigade Commander's troops suffered no losses.
This question went back and forth in Li Yan's mind for dozens of times, but in the end he still couldn't come up with any perfect answer. In desperation, Li Yan had to give up the idea, and then stretched out his right hand to pat the second brigade commander.
Li Yan lowered his head and shook his head weakly from side to side when he saw the second brigade commander looking at him. The second brigade commander didn't say anything when he saw this, but slowly walked a few steps forward to his team.
They then pulled the rest of the team back to the original Xishan Nanqiao base area.
Li Yan first stood there and stared at the retreating Eighth Route Army troops from the Xishan Nanqiao base for a while. Then he returned to his reinforced regiment troops and led them to follow the troops of the second brigade commander toward the Xishan Nanqiao base area.
direction. At this time, Li Yan must follow these two brigades.
Li Yan thought that the second brigade commander would definitely lead his troops to Xiangma Mountain to find him if no one intervened.
If those Japanese soldiers take revenge, a tragedy will be inevitable.
When Li Yan thought of this, he did not delay anymore, but increased the speed of the team. It was not until he completely caught up with the second brigade commander's team that Li Yan was completely relieved. But at this time, he did not know that Xiangma Mountain
The next plan of the Japanese forces has been fully revealed
The clues came out, just as Li Yan led the team to chase the Eighth Route Army troops in the Nanqiao area of Xishan, three Japanese regiments from the southern stronghold of Xiangma Mountain had already passed through Xiangma Mountain, bypassed Li Yan's sight and came to the southwest section of the Xishan Railway, and
Continue to push eastward along the Xishan Railway.
After Li Yan and the second brigade commander's team returned to the Xishan Southwest Base Area, these Japanese soldiers had quietly infiltrated into the northern part of Xishan Mountain. However, Li Yan, who was in the Xishan Southwest Base Area, was completely unaware of all this until that day.
After the sound of artillery fire came from the Western Shandong base area.
At this time, Li Yan had just arrived at the Xishan Nanqiao base area, but just as he was about to order the reinforced regiment troops to rest on the spot, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from the direction of the Xishandong base area. Li Yan just wanted to listen to distinguish the direction of the source of the sound.
, the direction from West Shandong came again
There was a burst of intensive artillery bombardment. Seeing this scene, Li Yan immediately regrouped the team and prepared to lead the team to the West Shandong base area. At this time, the second brigade commander was also alarmed by the sound of artillery. He walked out quickly
In the combat conference room, I came to Li Yan and prepared to inquire about the sound of the artillery fire.
But Li Yan just turned around and said: "Second Brigade Commander, you must not lead the team back to Xiangma Mountain recklessly. Remember this!" After saying that, he came to the team and turned the team's head towards the Xishan South Bridge.
At the gate of the base area, he then led the team along the south avenue of Xishan County. Upon seeing this, the second brigade commander immediately gave up the idea of pursuing the Japanese troops in Xiangmashan immediately, and instead pulled all the troops behind him to deploy defenses on both sides of the gate of the Nanqiao base area in Xishan.
, prepare to deal with emergencies around the base area.
After the second brigade commander's defense mission was over, Li Yan had also led the team into Xishan County. But just when he was about to continue leading the team to advance to the West Shandong base area, he heard that the troops coming from Xishan
There was a noise from the north gate of the county seat. Li Yan followed the sound and looked in the direction of the north gate, and saw that he was heading west.
A large number of Eighth Route Army troops came from the direction of Xishan County. Upon seeing this, Li Yan left the team to greet them alone. However, before he took a few steps, he saw him standing in front of the north gate of Xishan County, facing the west Shandong base area to observe the situation.
When Jiang Zhen and Li Yan saw this scene, they immediately realized that the West Shandong base area at this time was finished.
