my bright sword career

Chapter 416
On a hilltop in an unnamed valley, several octopus-shaped antennas are very inconspicuous in the night. In a cave under the hillside, in front of two rooftops that have been erected, two radio operators are working nervously. The sound of tick-tock-tock knocking can be heard endlessly.

Brigadier Chen of the 300th Brigade, who had just jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army with more than 386 people from the brigade headquarters, stared at the map in front of him and frowned. , the devil is here, less than thirty miles away from us."

"Thirty miles?"

Political Commissar Wang on the side said anxiously: "Old Chen, the devil is too close to us, should we move to the next location?"

Brigadier Chen shook his head: "Thirty miles is enough. There are devils everywhere around us. Even if we continue to move, where can we go? What's more, it's late at night, and the risk of marching at night is too high. We'd better stay here and wait until dawn. It's better to go on."

Commissar Wang thought about it and found it reasonable. He frowned and said, "I don't know where the troops below are? I'm really worried."

Brigadier Chen also had a solemn expression on his face: "The Japanese army's big raid this time came very suddenly, and no one arrived first. The Japanese actually stopped their offensive on the frontal battlefield, and mobilized more than ten divisions in one breath to carry out raids on our Eighth Route Army base area. Such a large-scale raid caught us by surprise."

Political Commissar Wang said: "According to our latest information, the devils have dispatched nearly 30 troops this time. They have swept from Shandong, Hebei, Chahar, and Shanxi, posing as if they must win. He wants to kill us all."

"They're dreaming!" Brigadier Chen said coldly, "The head of the headquarters has already ordered us to break up into pieces and break through. Even if the little devils have three heads and six arms, they don't want to eat us."

But when he said this, Brigadier Chen's eyes flashed a trace of worry. This time the raid came too suddenly and the scale was too large. The Eighth Route Army headquarters ordered all the troops to split up and break out.

Take the 386th brigade as an example. There were originally six regiments under its command, but now only four regiments can be contacted. There are still Kong Jie's new second regiment and Li Yunlong's independent regiment who have not been contacted. A heart is always hanging.

In addition, the troops have been marching continuously for half a month, and the personnel are already very tired. Food, ammunition, supplies and other items are about to be exhausted. Brigadier Chen is extremely anxious these days, but he can't show it yet. After all, there are dozens of people around look at him.

He habitually fumbled in his pocket but found it was empty, and only then remembered that he had smoked out all his cigarettes as of yesterday.

At this moment, something was handed to him. He took it and saw that it was a pack of good luck cigarettes. When he turned his head, he saw Political Commissar Wang looking at him with a smile. Overjoyed, he took out a cigarette and lit it. : "Well, you old king actually hid private goods!"

Seeing Brigadier Chen enjoying himself while puffing, Political Commissar Wang scolded with a smile: "Who made you smoke so hard? I remember that Ding Weigang gave you one when we met with Xinyituan not long ago. I was sucked out in a week, who can blame this?"

Brigadier Chen chuckled and didn't make a sound, and soon finished smoking a cigarette, and Brigadier Chen's brain began to come alive, and he had a sudden idea: "Old Wang, why don't we contact the Liantai militia and see if we can get help from him?" Get some help there. Even if it is to replenish us with a little supplies, it would be good."

"I think it's okay." Commissar Wang thought for a while and agreed. The close relationship between the Liantai militia and the Eighth Route Army is well known, so there is no need to be embarrassed to speak at this time.

"That's good... Staff Officer Qiu, immediately record the order..." Seeing that Political Commissar Wang also agreed with his opinion, Brigadier Chen hurriedly asked the staff officer to contact the Liantai militia.

Less than half an hour passed.

"The brigade commander, the political commissar, and the Liantai militia have called back."

"Oh... get the telegram here."

After the staff officer brought the telegram over, both of them changed their faces when they saw the telegram, "What...the 6th Division and 108th Division of the Japanese Army have arrived in Ping'an County and are approaching the Liantai militia?"

As soldiers, they are too aware of the weight of the 6th Division.

If the seventeen standing divisions are the elite divisions of the Japanese Army, then this Japanese standing division, nicknamed the Kumamoto Division, is the first echelon of the seventeen divisions, and its combat effectiveness is exceptionally strong.

Now that the Japanese army has sent two divisions, including the 6th Division, approaching Liantai County, one can imagine how severe the situation the Liantai militia is facing now.

Seeing this, the hearts of the two of them have already turned cold. The Liantai militia is facing such a great pressure, how can they have the time to support them.

But when they read the telegram to the end, the expressions of the two became a little ashamed again. Gao Hongming asked their location in the telegram, saying that he could send a plane to drop some of them for them.

What moved Brigadier Chen and the two of them most was that Gao Hongming was not only willing to carry out airdrops for their group, but also to support other troops with a relatively complete organizational system, and asked Brigadier Chen to summarize the location and situation of the troops and report to them in a unified manner. They then set a unified time for the airdrop.

This is very righteous. After Gao Hongming took a deep breath, he suddenly remembered something: "Old Wang, I remember that Ding Wei's new regiment was not active in Ping'an County, or let Ding Wei directly assemble the team and go directly Liantai County, let the Xinyi regiment join the Liantai militia to help Gao Hongming defend Liantai County, what do you think?"

Political Commissar Wang hesitated for a moment, "Old Chen, the Liantai militia is now facing pressure from two divisions of the Japanese army. We let the new regiment assist in defending the Liantai militia without an order from the headquarters, causing excessive losses. If the headquarters blames it, this responsibility... "

"I will bear the responsibility!"

Before Political Commissar Wang could finish his sentence, Brigadier Chen said decisively: "The generals will not accept the military orders abroad, and we should act in extraordinary times. Our situation is bad enough, how bad can it be? ?

The Xinyi regiment can at least eat and wear warm clothes when they go to Liantai County, and they can also replenish supplies.He has helped us so much, and it is only natural for Xinyituan to help the Liantai militia defend for a while, don't you think? "

Political Commissar Wang thought about it for a while and smiled helplessly: "Old Chen, I found that since we met, I have rarely been able to speak well of you. Sometimes I wonder whether you are the political commissar or I am the political commissar?"

Brigadier Chen laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Wang, you are right if you say you can't beat me, and this proves that I am always right!"

"Fuck you!" Political Commissar Wang scolded him first, and then burst out laughing.
