Chapter 417 Chapter 410 Executing Orders with Eight Palms
The dark night was extremely quiet. On the halfway up a mountain, a team was walking silently on a narrow mountain road. Although the team was winding and rugged like a long snake, there was no sound other than slight footsteps. Any voice, it can be seen that the quality of this team is extremely high.

When the team reached a mountain depression, a low voice sounded, "Everyone stop moving forward and rest in place!"

Following the order, the advancing team quickly stopped.

Ding Wei, who was dressed in a gray military uniform, led the Xinyi regiment for most of the night. He was also very tired at the moment. He took out the water bottle hanging on his waist and unscrewed the lid to take a few sips. After a short rest, he spoke to the correspondents beside him Said: "Go...see if the reconnaissance platoon is here?"

Before the correspondent could speak, someone said in front: "Head, the people from the reconnaissance platoon are here."

Accompanied by the sound, two soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon wearing gray cloaks trotted over, and before Ding Wei could ask a question, the leader of the soldiers said, "Regimental... The little devil has arrived at Dapeng Village, less than ten miles away from us. "

"These little devils!" Ding Wei showed a look of helplessness on his face: "They are really chasing us hard enough, it seems that they are really determined to kill us... By the way..."

He turned his head and asked the correspondent: "Have you got in touch with the second battalion and the third battalion?"

"We got in touch!" The correspondent hurriedly said, "The Second Battalion was in Xiaolizhuang for a short period of rest, and the Third Battalion just arrived at Zhaojiatun, less than [-] miles away from us."

"Where is the first battalion commander... is he here?"

"Head...I'm here." Gao Dachun, the battalion commander who had just rushed over, replied out of breath.

"How's the troop going?"

"Regimental Commander, the situation of the troops is still normal, but there are still more than 30 soldiers who have caught a cold. Among them, six or seven soldiers have a fever, and their condition is relatively serious. Although they have taken medicine, the fever still has not subsided. The health worker said that they must find A place for the wounded to rest, otherwise the situation will get worse."

Speaking of this, Gao Dachun looked at Ding Wei with a gloomy face and remained silent.

The Japanese army's sweep was also known as the encirclement with the iron wall. This was a tactic that Gangcun Ningci came up with specifically to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

After Gangcun Ningci took office, after several months of observation, he found that the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas were operating in the guerrilla base areas like fish. The Japanese army was very difficult to pursue or attack, so he came up with the idea of ​​encircling with an iron wall. tactics.

The characteristic of this tactic is to line up the troops in a long line of tens of kilometers and push them from several directions. In the words of a post-communist, it is like a fisherman pulling a net. Moreover, the Japanese army also formed a number of mobile troops, all equipped with trucks. The mobility of this unit is very strong.

In this way, once a battle occurs, the Japanese army will know it at the first time, and then the mobile troops will be able to arrive soon. In this way, it will become a single army with multiple troops fighting the Eighth Route Army, forming a force and firepower in some areas. Under such blows, the Eighth Route Army in many places such as Central Hebei, Southern Hebei, and Taihang have suffered greatly during this period.

For example, the Japanese army behind Ding Wei and the others has been chasing them for several days. Since three days ago, they have been sticking to them like brown sugar and can't get rid of them no matter what.

The number of this Japanese army is not large, at best it is only a squadron, but the problem is that they have not been able to counterattack immediately.

Once bitten, it only takes more than one to two hours, and the scattered Japanese troops will flock to them like ants and surround them until they are eaten.

In this situation, they basically have little time to stop and rest. Once a soldier is injured or sick, the troops can only bite the bullet and lead the wounded to march, because in this case, leaving them behind means death , This is also the biggest difficulty Ding Wei is facing now.

Seeing Ding Wei's frown, Gao Dachun couldn't help but said: "Head, why don't we inform the second battalion and the third battalion to come and join us immediately, and work together to eat up these devils!"

"Bullshit!"

Ding Wei glared at Gao Dachun: "The superior handed over the Xinyi regiment to me to lead the brothers to fight the devils, not to lead the brothers to death. If the Xinyi regiment is exhausted, how can I follow?" The brigade commander explained? How to explain to the head of the headquarters?"

Gao Dachun also knew that he was reckless, so he lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

After a long time, Ding Wei gritted his teeth, "Forget it, order the troops to move on. Before God, we must rush to Guishoujian in the western suburbs of Ping'an County for repairs."

"Captain!"

Just when Ding Wei was about to order the troops to move on, the correspondent rushed over, "Regiment...the brigade headquarters sent a telegram, and the brigade commander ordered us to advance to Liantai County immediately, and use the shortest time to join the Liantai militia and assist the Liantai militia in fighting Japanese army."

"Meet with the Liantai militia?"

Ding Wei accepted the telegram in surprise, and the guard hurriedly took out a flashlight covered with a red cloth to shine on the telegram, and the surrounding people also gathered around to cover the light. Everyone gasped.

"My dear..."

Even Ding Wei, who boasted that he had seen strong winds and waves, was also taken aback.

Gao Dachun even swallowed his saliva, and stammered: "Commander...Brigade Commander...Brigade Commander, what do you mean by this? Do you want us to die? There are two divisions of devils in Liantai County what."

Like Ding Wei, Gao Dachun, the first battalion commander, is also a veteran of the Red Army. He has always been known for his bravery in battle, but he was also taken aback when he saw this telegram.

What is the concept of the Japanese army in the two divisions? There are more than 4 people. If their mere 2000 people really want to face so many Japanese troops, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out without even splashing a wave.

"I see." Ding Wei understood what Brigadier Chen meant.

"I understand the meaning of the brigade commander. It seems that the brigade commander understands our difficult situation. Instead of hiding in the XZ like a mouse, we might as well rush to Liantai County to meet with Commander Gao and the others.

At least there can be enough supplies and repairs there, is it better than the current situation? "

"But if you go somewhere, you will have to face the ghosts of the two divisions." Gao Dachun still felt a little unreliable. Although he could get supplies if he went to Liantai County, the risk he faced would be several times greater than now. Times, if they fail, the entire Xinyi Regiment will be wiped out.

"Why do you say so much, execute the order!"

Compared to Gao Dachun's hesitation, Ding Wei was much more decisive, "Correspondent!"

"To!"

"Record order... Immediately order the second battalion and third battalion to stop repairs and move closer to us immediately. The whole regiment must gather before dawn, and then march at a forced march speed to arrive at Liantai County the day after tomorrow."

"understand!"
