I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 242: The Jinsui Army with Bad Intentions

Suo Wuxing held the telegram and said, "Director Wang, is there a small valley behind your hospital?"

Wang Xiutao said: "There is indeed a small valley called Chiyang Valley.

But inside, it was a dead end with cliffs on all sides and no exit.

The world is in chaos now and there is no safe place to defend.

Even ordinary people don't dare to live in it.

So they all live outside in Chiyanggou, also for the convenience of evacuation.”

This is also why the Eighth Route Army’s hospital was not located behind the ravine, but in the valley with better conditions.

If the Japanese discover them and block the entrance to the valley, none of them will be able to escape.

After listening to Dr. Wang Xiutao's confirmation, Suo Wuxing gave the order carefully.

“First, from now on, I will have people build military tents for you in the valley.

After the tents are set up, everyone in the hospital, including the local residents, will move there overnight.

According to intelligence, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will launch the attack first tomorrow morning.

They were going to launch an artillery attack on this Eighth Route Army's rear hospital.

Comrade Wang Xiutao, this is also the reason why I asked you to retreat overnight.

Second, Captain Suo, please send out your troops to prepare a large number of mines on both sides of the entrance to Lieyanggou.

When the 107th Division arrives tomorrow morning, we must give them a warm welcome.

Third, for the safety of the hospital, I will send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Ask them to send the nearest troops to protect you."

Doctor Wang Xiutao asked, "Why don't you plan to keep your guard battalion here to protect us?"

Is this considered retention?

When everyone heard this, they thought, hey, there is a way. It seems that their Deputy Commander Suo’s efforts were not in vain.

Wang Xiutao also felt that her words were somewhat ambiguous, so she wanted to explain them.

Unexpectedly, Suo Wuxing, who had the demeanor of a general just now, immediately turned into a love-sick young man.

"Sister Xiutao, I am going to lead my troops to cause trouble for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

There are too few troops guarding here, so I will find other troops to come and protect your safety.

Sister Xiutao, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Here it comes again. Looking at the infatuated Suo Wuxing, Wang Xiutao couldn't help but blushing.

She stood up and said, "I will arrange the transfer of the hospital and the people now."

Then she walked out of her office, and looking at her back, it felt like she was running away.

The hospital's guard company commander didn't know what the relationship between Director Wang and these people was.

But from the tone of this young man, he doesn't sound like a reactionary at all.

Instead, he felt like one of our own.

When he talked about "how to deal with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army", his tone was completely that of an Eighth Route Army cadre.

This is the rear hospital, and senior officers of the Eighth Route Army often come here to visit injured officers and soldiers.

The aura of Suo Wuxing was almost exactly the same as those of the leaders, and he couldn't stand it.

Looking at Suo Wuxing who had a look of infatuation on his face, and then looking at Dean Wang Xiutao who was trying to escape.

As he walked out of the house, he took a puff of his pipe.

Alas, it seems that their Dean Wang is about to find a partner.

After a while, a radio wave followed the antenna and floated towards the 46th Army Headquarters in the northwest.

Later, this telegram was forwarded by Song Wenwan to Minister Li in northern Shaanxi.

Afterwards, in the cave under the Pagoda Mountain, a series of urgent orders were sent to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Shanxi.

After receiving the telegram from northern Shaanxi, the deputy commander-in-chief became furious.

"You, the Second War Zone, dare not fight head-on with our main force.

But they sent people to the rear to attack our hospital. This is extremely shameful, extremely shameful!"

After quickly checking the map, he issued another order.

"Combat staff, pass on my order and have the Kong Jie Independent Regiment stationed in Liujia Village set off immediately.

Let them rush to the rear hospital in Lieyanggou overnight.

If he doesn't arrive before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, let him come earlier."

The operations staff had never seen the deputy commander-in-chief so angry.

He immediately ran out to send the telegram, hoping that Kong Jie would be able to arrive at Lieyanggou on time tomorrow morning.

Now with Song Wenwan's support, Kong Jie also has his own telegraph.

Kong Jie received an urgent telegram from his boss. As soon as he saw the words "rear hospital", he knew something big was going to happen.

He ordered the troops to start distributing ammunition immediately. Half an hour later, he left only a platoon of soldiers to guard the house.

Nearly two thousand soldiers of the regiment immediately rushed to Lieyanggou to garrison at a forced march.

Afterwards, the head of a brigade of a certain division of the Eighth Route Army also set out overnight to prepare to meet up with Kong Jie.

He has the latest information about the defense of Lieyanggou.

The issue here was who would fire the first shot, so the headquarters did not neglect it and asked the brigade chief to personally command the situation on the spot.

Because the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone wanted to launch a full-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

Now the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been mixed up with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The Eighth Route Army's anti-friction battle in Shanxi will also begin tonight.

Zhu Huaibing's troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are already surrounded by our army.

This was also one of the reasons why Du Ziheng's troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were able to reach Zhaozhuangzi without any resistance.

After arranging scouts to continue monitoring Du Ziheng's troops, Zhou Weiguo led the main force of the squadron into action.

They retreated early and began to rest in the dense forest on the highlands ten miles away from Lieyanggou.

Dr. Wang Xiutao woke up before five in the morning.

She stood outside the tent, thinking, her eyes fixed towards the valley entrance.

This Du Ziheng is indeed one of the Thirteen Guardians in the Second War Zone.

He followed the consistent practice of the Second War Zone, which was not active in fighting the Japanese, but was the number one in creating friction.

He worked very hard today. At four o'clock in the morning, he woke up all the troops.

"Hurry up and get up, we are going to rush to Lieyanggou now.

As long as we take down the Eighth Route Army's rear-area hospital, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone will definitely reward us handsomely.

Everyone, cheer up. I'm telling you the truth. I heard that the Eighth Route Army's defense is very weak.

The Eighth Route Army unit stationed in this hospital was a guard company of only fifty people.

The remaining people were either seriously injured who were unable to lift their guns, or doctors and nurses in the hospital.

Let me tell you, there are a lot of beautiful women there.

If you can take over this hospital, all those women will be yours."

This group of Shanxi-Suiyuan soldiers, who were still half-sleepy just now, were very surprised when they heard that there were women available.

They immediately became brave and vied with each other to be the first.

He didn't even eat breakfast and rushed towards Lieyanggou.

This Du Ziheng is indeed an old soldier who was born as a bandit in his early years.

When it comes to mobilization, he has his own methods, which are nothing more than money and women.

Everyone knew that the Eighth Route Army was poor, so he did not choose to use money to boost morale, but chose to start with women.

We heard that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was marching quickly and would reach the entrance of Lieyanggou village at 7:30.

Zhou Weiguo and Zhu Ziming looked at each other. They had not expected that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would come so quickly.
