under fire

Chapter 385
At the foot of Hutaoquan Village, Huangdong Township, Qixian County Government, Anti-Japanese Democratic Government.

Commanders at all levels of the military division gathered together to welcome the arrival of the head of the independent regiment, Lu. After receiving the news from the correspondent, the county government personnel and several leaders of the military division went down the mountain to greet him.

Seeing how the old comrades gave face so much, Captain Lu hurriedly greeted everyone, led the guards behind him, dragged each other into the village with a few old acquaintances, greeted and teased warmly.

Several people happily talked for a long time as if there was no one else around, and the one next to him interrupted: "I said, Lao Lu, you are slow enough to come, is it the turtle's? The battle is about to start, and you just arrived?"

Head Lu glanced at this man, and said with a smile: "Ah, isn't this Head Zeng? Why, your cavalry regiment relies on everyone's six legs. Do you want to see our jokes? How is your injury?"

"Hey, I'm fine now, so you don't need to worry about it." Zeng, the head of the cavalry of the military division, despised him, and then introduced the people around him: "This is my partner, the political commissar."

Head Lu stretched out his hand first: "Commissar Kuang, you have to keep an eye on him, this guy is a guy who will die on the battlefield."

"Hello, Captain Lu." Political Commissar Kuang immediately extended his hand enthusiastically.

"This is Division Logistics Minister Han."

Head Lu measured up and down, and Minister Han felt uncomfortable: "What's wrong?"

"Haha, I met you in the division before. You were the battalion commander at that time, right?" Commander Lu has a good memory.

A person next to him immediately interrupted: "Look stupid, everyone is now a minister, deputy brigade level, just you, a bad regiment leader, working in the mountains for four or five years, have you made any progress, haha"

"Regimental Commander Lu has contributed a lot to keeping an eye on the south gate of the division. There are only four companies in the regiment so far, right? Hehe." Minister Han hurriedly made a siege, but he poked at Commander Lu's sore spot.

"Fuck you, I gave you that [-] gun. What are you talking about?" Head Lu smiled and put his arms around Minister Han's shoulders.

Minister Han pushed Captain Lu away, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, the cannon was arranged by the division, so don't get too close to me, and don't ask me for anything in the future."

"When should you return your armored vehicle to us?" Captain Lu stretched out his hand.

"Give it back to you? Shameless, I gave you a guerrilla brigade for nothing. I gave you all the land in the west of An County. What else do you want? Let me tell you, if I didn't pity you, your broken independent group is still there Drink the northwest wind in the mountains!"

"In that case, do I have to thank you?"

"What do you say?"

"That's right, I don't know who is asking for reinforcements from the teacher this time?"

Minister Han hurriedly changed the subject: "Hey, is that girl here this time too? I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much."

"Don't talk so much, let's get down to business first." Head Zeng said, and dragged a few people into the room.

The independent regiment guard platoon was arranged to rest in a nearby place.

"All right, all right, let's get down to business first." Minister Han greeted everyone to sit down.

"When will the meal be served? We are still hungry." Captain Lu was not polite at all, they were all comrades who came together during the Long March.

"Don't be so shameless, okay?"

"It's fine to talk while eating." Captain Lu was rarely so happy.

"I said Lao Lu, I asked you if girl Chang is here, what kind of shit are you talking about?"

"They came from another station, and the political commissar took them with them. They are probably coming soon." Head Lu finally answered Minister Han's question.

"Hey, Xi Shi, the nurse from the Teacher's Hospital, have you taken it?" Head Zeng asked intentionally.

"Never mind your shit."

"By the way, the company commander under you is really bullish. He was so angry that several chief executives died, haha"

"Don't say that you invited me here this time, but just listen to your chief ministers gossip?"

"Hey, let's discuss it? I'll replace the girl in your regiment with a class!" The stern and smiling head Zeng teased so rarely.

Head Lu sized Head Zeng up and down: "You look so ugly, but you think it's really beautiful!"

"Have you typed the report? When will you drink the wedding wine? You have to be careful, and don't be robbed by someone on your wedding night."

"When will it be your turn, let me tell you, I won't invite you to drink this wine, I will piss you off."

After a short time, a person walked out of the conference room, yawning: "Old Lu, you are finally here. How many people are here?"

"Report to the commander, most of the independent regiment is here, please give instructions." Commander Lu hurriedly saluted, the division commander was one level above him.

"We all know that your regiment has a small number of people, so you can't recruit some who can't go to the battlefield to make up the number. Let's talk about it first. Bullets can be replenished for your regiment. If you bring soldiers who don't even have guns, I will say something ugly." Be careful, I will cut you." The commander said with a smile.

"There are two battalions here, isn't it interesting? You really don't need to worry about guns!" Captain Lu finally stiffened.

"Don't worry? Well, I prepared dozens of old sleeves for you, don't you want them? Don't cry in front of me if you don't have a gun!" Minister Han said with a smile.

"Oh, do you really want to use those broken guns of yours to kill beggars? If you really want to give them fifty thirty-eight big guns, I won't call you poor!"

"Hey, you have a good idea, only the old sleeve, do you like it or not!"

"What the hell are you talking about? What should be added, Lao Lu, you will arrange someone to pick it up in a while, and don't let people gossip about our military division."

After the commander finished speaking, he turned to the map hanging on the wall and said to everyone: "The current situation is favorable to us. According to the situation reported by the scouts, there are only two squadrons in the county, and most of the devil troops with more than 400 people are stationed here." Near the train station, most of the other guards in the county are security forces."

Head Lu took a sweet potato from the bowl just brought by the soldier next to him, without peeling the skin, and stuffed it directly into his mouth: "Commander, just tell me how to fight? Do you want to surround the spot to help, or take down the county in one go?" ?”

The commander smiled slightly: "Don't worry, let's find out the situation first. This time, the division's order requires us to take down Qi County, an important railway town. What's good for us now is that the devils don't know about our deployment of troops. There are not many people in the surrounding villages at all, and the devils are busy attacking the national army in the south, so we took the opportunity to cut off their logistics supply line!"

The chief of staff of the division immediately added: "If we can occupy the county seat, it will be no problem to evacuate the county seat at that time. The next step is to destroy the railway station. The devils will definitely make a large-scale attack to regain Qi County, an important railway town. At that time, we will attack eastward. , take this opportunity to take down Xia County, and then connect with the Luxi base."

Head Zeng added from the side: "Old Lu, we have studied it several times before you came, and you just need to follow the command then."

"Then what are you talking about? When will we do it? How many people should we arrange in the city?" Head Lu asked casually.

The staff officer opened the folder in front of him: "Do you still know that you need to arrange internal response for the siege? Haha, you can't hide anything from you. More than 140 people from the division's special agent company have entered the city in batches. The strength of the county's troops has been investigated clearly. Only one squadron is dissatisfied. Editor, the estimated number is 2000, plus the puppet army investigation team police, the total number does not exceed [-], we have mobilized more than [-] troops now, and it is not a big problem to take down Xia County."

The commander glanced at Commander Zeng: "It's just that your cavalry has to work hard this time. You destroy the railways and roads as planned, and blow up the Qihe railway and road bridge. You must not let the northern devils' reinforcements cross the Qihe."

"Don't worry, it's already ready." Commander Zeng saluted. The cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses when it was raided by the devils last time, and it hasn't regained its strength until now. Otherwise, it would be useless to fight the county this time The jingling independent group came to help.

Head Lu looked at the map: "I think we are going to take Qi County now, and the strength of our troops is a little bit reluctant."

The commander looked at Commander Lu: "That's why we invited all the troops we could use nearby. Devils are humans too, and our troops are almost ten times their strength. If we can't fight this, we'll all go home and nurse our children to settle the matter." Already!"

"Is there any deployment of the Southern National Army? If they can put some pressure on the devils, will it be easier for us to fight?"

"National army? Lao Lu, are you running a fever? They have a lot of troops, but do they have the guts?"

"That's right." Head Lu embarrassedly scratched his head.

"Needless to say, the time to attack Qi County is set at 24 o'clock tomorrow evening. After taking down the county seat, evacuate the county seat within [-] hours, then cross the railway and retreat eastward!" Chu.

Take down the county seat, ten times out of ten!
