Chapter 295 Running away
Front Command.
"From what we have gathered, the 46th Independent Brigade is lax in its defenses, and everyone from top to bottom is having fun."
The commander of the training brigade, Chen Shan, stood in front of the map and said with a faint smile: "It seems that our mission this time is very easy!"
"Brigade Commander, give the order quickly!"
The Third Regiment, the commander Wang Bao couldn’t help but urge.
"Yes, Commander Chen, give the order quickly. This is simply a merit that comes right to your doorstep!"
The commander of the 7th Security Regiment, Wang Hu, echoed this.
"it is good!"
Chen Shanli nodded and pointed at the map: "Captain Wang, take your regiment, cross the Wei River from Xiaoyi Town, march covertly along the way, and capture the three towns."
"The Third Regiment crossed the Wei River from Nanyang Village, marched secretly all the way, and hid in Fanjia Village."
"Once your two regiments are in place, send me a telegram immediately. I will have the first and second regiments attack from the front."
"While the enemy is in a panic, stab them hard from behind and catch them off guard!"
"Yes!"
The front-line command then sent the combat plan to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Field Army Group Headquarters for review.
After obtaining permission, the 7th Guard Regiment and the 3rd Regiment of the Teaching Brigade started to set off. The two regiments hid during the day and moved at night, reaching the designated location after three days.
"Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, the first and second regiments will cross the river."
After receiving the telegram, Chen Shanli called two regiment leaders and said, "Remember, Weinan City's defense is lax. First send someone in disguise to sneak in, then attack from both inside and outside to take down Weinan City in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!"
The two regimental commanders saluted, turned back to the regiment and began to mobilize the troops.
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, when it was dark, the first and second regiments successfully crossed the Wei River through several ferry crossings.
At the same time, at Yan'an Airport, alarms flashed, and ground crew members ran out of the room and began to clear the runway and check the bombers and fighter jets that were about to take off.
"Remember, this is the first large-scale bombing operation since our army was formed!"
Wang Bi was excited and preached to the pilots who were lined up in three rows in front of him.
"The mission is also very simple. There are two infantry regiments in Yangguo Town and Lintong District. Especially in Yangguo Town, there are the logistics supplies of the 46th Independent Brigade. We must not let them go!"
"Once you get to the location, there will be incendiary bombs to mark your position. Be sure not to blow up the wrong one."
"Don't worry, Commander. We have been training for so long, we will not make any mistakes!"
A pilot standing in the front row couldn't help but speak up.
"hehe."
Wang Bi smiled and said, "Okay, you still have one last hour of rest!"
"Those who need to go to the toilet should go to the toilet, and those who need to eat breakfast should eat breakfast."
As time passed, the sky became dim.
Forty bombers and sixty fighter planes took off from Yan'an Airport and split into two groups after arriving in Huanglong County, flying in two directions.
"The Eighth Route Army is entering the city~!"
In Weinan City, a panicked shout marked the beginning of the battle.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
A large number of Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared outside Weinan City. The soldiers of the 46th Independent Brigade guarding the gate turned around and ran without hesitation, and began to close the city gates after entering the city.
"Da da da....."
After a few submachine gun shots, the thirteen soldiers guarding the city gate fell in a pool of blood.
"Hey, you still want to close the door?"
An Eighth Route Army soldier holding a submachine gun came to the city gate and opened it again.
"Well done, Six!"
After praising the Eighth Route Army soldier who led the troops to capture the city gate, the regiment commander raised his pistol and shouted.
"The first company will attack the city center. The second and third companies will go to the west of the city. That is the barracks of the 46st Regiment of the th Independent Brigade. Get them inside!"
"Fuck it, run faster!"
The commander of the Second Regiment shouted angrily when he saw that the people of the First Regiment had entered the city, while their people had not even reached the city gate.
"Hurry up, if you run too slow you won't even be able to drink a sip of soup!"
An hour later, a regiment commander found the commander of the 46st Regiment of the th Independent Brigade, Qian San, sleeping in Cuihua Tower.
"Don't sleep, Captain Qian!"
"Stop hitting the captain, Zhao En ran away!"
Just as the regiment commander was trying to sober up Qian San, who was drunk, a communications soldier ran in breathlessly.
"I just received news that Zhao En took advantage of our attack on the First Regiment and rushed out of the South Gate with the brigade's guard company. The Second Regiment Commander has already led his men to chase him."
"You're so quick!"
The first regiment commander curled his lips and said, "Take this man away and lock him up. The first and second companies continue to clear out the resistance elements in the city. The third company closes the city gates for me."
"Yes."
"Brigade Commander, I told you to set up a defense line along the Wei River!"
On the way to escape, Chief of Staff Wang Sanming complained: "Now we don't even know that the Eighth Route Army has entered the city!"
"How the hell should I know that the Eighth Route Army would take the initiative to attack!"
Zhao En looked doubtful about his life. In the past, the Eighth Route Army was very tolerant for the sake of the so-called unified war of resistance.
Even if they killed relatives of the resistance and took the initiative to create friction, the Eighth Route Army would give in again and again.
Why is it that when it is his turn today, he just goes against his usual behavior and sends people to beat him without saying a word?
"Commander, do you think the news might have leaked?"
Wang Sanming thought for a moment and said, "Almost half a month has passed since we left the battlefield in Henan and arrived in Weinan."
"Given the intelligence capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, they have probably found something!"
"This should be!"
Zhao En frowned: "I just don't know where the news was leaked!"
Anyone who is not a fool can discover the movement of a troop of 100,000 people. The only thing they don't know is how the Eighth Route Army discovered that their target was them.
You have to know that they were transferred here to rest on the grounds of preserving their strength. Logically speaking, the Eighth Route Army should not be suspicious!
"wrong!"
Suddenly Zhao En stopped and said, "We're not going to Sanzhang Town anymore!"
"what happened?"
Wang Sanming looked at Zhao En in confusion.
"Since the Eighth Route Army already knows our purpose, it is impossible for them to only send people to attack Weinan City."
After saying that, Zhao En turned his horse around and said, "Go to Gaotang Town, then disguise yourself as an ordinary citizen and take a detour through Huashan Mountain back to Henan!"
"what!"
Wang Sanming was surprised and asked, "What about the second group? What about the third group?"
"Without our soldiers, we are nothing!"
"What does it matter?"
Zhao En said angrily: "If we go back now, not to mention the Second and Third Regiments, even I myself might be caught by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Let's go to Henan first. The money I've earned in these years is enough for me to make a comeback!"
