my bright sword career

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chi Yaohui didn't say much, and walked directly to the side sand table, picked up a wooden stick and pointed to a place, "Sirs, please take a look."

"This is Ping'an County, and all our troops, except for a few left behind in Liantai County, almost all other troops are surrounded by Ping'an County or within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

This has caused our troops to appear very scattered. In addition, the continuous combat these days has caused a serious reduction in the number of troops, and they are already very tired. If we rush to reinforce Ping'an County at this time, heavy losses are likely to lead to unpredictable consequences. "

Master Liu's eyes flickered, "Then Chief of Staff Chi means that Ping'an County cannot be defended?"

"of course not."

Chi Yaohui sighed lightly.

"If it were another place, I would definitely suggest that several officials abandon Ping'an County, but the reality is that Ping'an County has to be guarded. Who makes it too important for its geographical location."

He continued: "Seniors, please see that 130 kilometers west of Ping'an County is Taiyuan, and more than 140 kilometers north is our Liantai County, and it is also an important railway transportation hub in Shanxi. The geographical location is really important.

It can be said that as long as we still occupy Ping'an County, the Japanese army's railway traffic will be paralyzed by half. Therefore, in order to buy time for our troops to repair and defend Liantai, instead of giving up Ping'an County, we must hold on to it until we Take it easy.

Otherwise, once the Japanese army overwhelmed, Liantai County might not be able to keep it. "

Gao Hongming's words caused wry smiles from everyone. On the surface, Gao Hongming's words sounded right. After all, status comes from strength. With Gao Hongming's current strength, even the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army and even Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the World War II zone, saw Gao Hongming has to be polite, who else would dare to treat him as a simple vigilante leader?

Speaking of this, Master Liu smiled wryly, "It's not like you don't know the situation of our Eighth Route Army. The 115th Division has been greatly expanded in the past two years, so both the weapons and equipment and the quality of individual soldiers will be much worse than those in [-]. , I also look forward to Commander Gao and Chief of Staff Chi Haihan."

If you want to say when the Eighth Route Army has the strongest combat effectiveness, there is no doubt that it was when the Red Army was transformed into the Eighth Route Army in [-].

Gao Hongming smiled: "The last question... When will Division 115 arrive?"

Chi Yaohui and Gao Hongming nodded slowly, Master Liu was right.

Seeing that Chi Yaohui was not elated because of the arrival of the reinforcements, but could still see the problem calmly, Commander Liu Heping and political commissar looked at each other, and his evaluation of him was higher in his heart. It seems that Gao Hongming found a good The chief of staff, just being calm and calm when things happen is much better than many people.

"War, how can there be no risk."

It can be said that, except that the weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese army, other aspects are even worse than the Japanese army.

Gao Hongming took the case and said, "Okay...then we will defend Ping'an County for a week. I will immediately go to Ping'an County to command personally, and I will definitely fight for a week for the 115th Division."

However, with the continuous expansion of the Eighth Route Army in recent years, the number of troops has expanded from 5000 to 60 million in just five years. In addition to the combat losses in these years, it can be said that the overall quality of the Eighth Route Army today is not as good as it was in [-]. Will do.

Commander Liu and Political Commissar Heping nodded his head slowly, his eyes flashed with admiration, "As expected of a high-achieving student who graduated from the Staff Department of the Military Academy in Berlin, what you said hit the point, and you also told us about the current embarrassment of our troops.

Gao Hongming smiled lightly, and added, "Even Brigadier Wang of the 385th Brigade is there now, why can't I, a small militia leader, go?"

Political Commissar Ping said urgently: "Tuan Commander Gao...Ping'an County is in the eye of the storm right now, and there are only three infantry regiments that are not fully established. It can be said to be very dangerous. What if you go there and make a mistake?"

Hearing Master Liu say that the 115th Division is coming soon, Chi Yaohui didn't look happy, but asked calmly: "Could Commander Liu tell the number of people coming to the 115th Division? How long will it take? How about the weapons and equipment?"

As soon as Gao Hongming's words fell, Master Liu and political commissar Heping spoke out against it almost at the same time.

But you don’t need to rest assured. After negotiating with Commander Gao, I reported the difficulties we are currently encountering to the headquarters a few days ago. After research, the head of the headquarters decided to send the 115th Division to support us.

As soon as the 115th Division arrives, we will have enough troops and confidence to fight with Neji Gangmura. "

At that time, there were three divisions and twelve regiments of the Eighth Route Army. Almost all the cadres and soldiers were elites who had gone through the [-]-mile Long March to climb snow-capped mountains and cross grasslands. They were the best in terms of fighting will and individual quality. .

Seeing that Commander Liu Heping wanted to persuade him again, Gao Hongming said: "Furthermore, Ping'an County is now not only mixed with troops from the 386th Brigade, [-]th Brigade, and even the Liantai Militia, but also includes infantry artillery, cavalry and other arms. If there is no important person to sit in the town, there will definitely be problems in command, do you think this is the reason?"

Support equipment..."

Commander Liu did not hide anything, "The telegram from the headquarters stated that the 115th Division was led by Commander Lin himself this time, and the subordinate [-]rd Brigade, [-]th Brigade and the division's independent regiment, cavalry battalion, artillery There are more than [-] people in the battalion, engineer battalion, supply battalion, and teaching battalion.

"No...it's too dangerous, you can't go!"

Master Liu replied without hesitation, "They will arrive in about a week."

"What... you want to go to Ping'an County in person?"

The political commissar of Master Liu and Heping fell silent, and now the temporary joint headquarters is composed of Gao Hongming and the political commissar of Master Liu and Heping.

The three Liping political commissars are responsible for coordinating and communicating logistical support, troop organization, training, and even replenishment of troop strength. Gao Hongming and Commander Liu are in charge of military affairs.

So it is clear that the only ones who are suitable to go to Ping'an County to command are Commander Liu and Gao Hongming, but Commander Liu is over half a hundred years old after all, and he was injured many times in the early years of the war. If so, the body may not be able to bear it.

On the other hand, Gao Hongming is not yet 30 years old, he is in a strong and strong age, and his status is high enough, plus his status as one of the top commanders of the temporary headquarters, it is suitable for this kind of work.

And most importantly, with Gao Hongming in Ping'an County, whether it is calling for air support or logistics supplies, the Liantai militia will definitely give it the highest priority. With sufficient logistics supplies, this battle will be even better This is why Master Liu Heping and the political commissar did not speak out against it.
