Chapter 113 6. Follow the plan

"Then let's do our best!" Nie Rongzhen said, "This task may require Luo Wenfang a lot of hard work." Luo Wenfang was the chief of the reconnaissance section of the headquarters. When a guard rushed to say that Commander Nie invited him to go, Luo Wenfang immediately realized that there must be an important mission. Nie Rongzhen went straight to the point and explained to Luo Wenfang: "The enemy probably found our position through radio direction finding. We will give it a plan to help the enemy strengthen its determination to attack together. First suspend the external contact of the military radio station, and you will bring a small The detachment and a radio station went to Taiyu, east of Leibao, set up the radio station, and still used the call sign of the military region to keep in touch with all parties.”

Luo Wenfang immediately understood Nie Rongzhen's intention: "Leave an aerial target for the enemy to create the illusion that they will attack dozens of us and continue to hold them back." Nie Rongzhen nodded: "Exactly. This is a very difficult task. You must do it: you must make the enemy attack you, but also make their combined attack miss the air; you must make the enemy follow you, but you must not let them go. They're after you." Nie Rongzhen paused for a moment and said, "If our army is all combat troops now, we won't have much difficulty in dealing with the current situation; if it's just the headquarters and administrative organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, it will be easier to deal with. However, now there are The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division, the Border Region Government, the Beiyue District Party Committee, the Military Region and other agencies and their various departments; there is a huge team of nearly 10,000 men, women, old and young, and a lot of luggage and horses. Let's go. Once you are attacked by the Japanese army, the consequences are really unimaginable. So you have to act like this. You must be more careful and complete the task beautifully."

"Don't worry, Commander, the mission must be completed!" Luo Wenfang saluted the military, and then led a small team of 50 people to Taiyu with the radio station. At night, under the command of Nie Rongzhen, the leading agencies of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area wiped the foot of the southern mountain of Duanzhuang, and went westward from the gap less than 500 meters away from the Japanese army.Luo Wenfang led the team to set off in opposite directions at the same time, and arrived at Taiyu, several kilometers away, in less than two hours. When they arrived at Taiyu, they learned that the nearest Japanese army was stationed at Dashimen. The team quickly dispatched guards to the surrounding areas and controlled the roads and mountain passes. Work, use this "air target" to catch the Japanese army first.

Then, Luo Wenfang led the rest of the people and ran towards a big mountain behind Dashimen. When they climbed to the top of the mountain, they saw that on the river beach at the foot of the mountain, there were wildfires lit by Japanese soldiers cooking, which were several kilometers long.Liu Wenming, the vice-captain of the reconnaissance team, saw the arrogance of the Japanese army, so he said to Luo Wenfang: "Section chief, let me take a few people to kill them, kill their viciousness!" Luo Wenfang felt that this idea was good, so he nodded: "You can take some people down to harass the enemy, and you can split up to create a posture for them to try to break out. As soon as the Japanese firepower is deployed, they will immediately withdraw."

Liu Wenming and several groups disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.After a while, on the river beach where the wildfire was burning, there was a burst of intensive grenade explosions, gunshots and shouts of killing from several places at the same time.In an instant, I saw figures running around the densely packed fire, and then there were panicked shouts from the Japanese army.After a while of confusion, the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns and rifles all fired over.Liu Wenming and others immediately pretended to fail to break through, and quickly withdrew back.This time, the Japanese army found both the "air targets" and "ground targets" of the Eighth Route Army.

At dawn, it was September 2, 1941.Sure enough, several enemy planes appeared over Taiyu, bombing and strafing in turn.At the same time, Japanese artillery shells also flew towards Taiyu.For a time, black smoke billowed everywhere in Taiyu and the surrounding hills, ravines, and passes, and the sound of guns rumbled.At this time, the team had moved to a dangerous mountain mouth in the northeast of Taiyu, and bombs and shells continued to explode beside the soldiers. While Luo Wenfang urged everyone to pay attention to concealment, he was thinking: Why haven't the Japanese infantry been seen yet?Could it be that the Japanese army smelled something?Have they seen through our intentions?

The sun had just set to the west, and Luo Wenfang gave up this idea.Because the Japanese infantry also appeared.They dawdled for several hours before they began to approach Taiyu.Probably because they were worried that the main force of the Eighth Route Army would take the opportunity to break through, so no one dared to rush into Taiyu. At this time, a question suddenly entered Luo Wenfang's mind: "We have completed the task of leading the attacking enemy to us, but if we let the enemy capture Taiyu without firing a single shot, it may make them wake up quickly. It's better to give the enemy a head-on blow before they are fully awake, so that they can continue to be stupefied."

Therefore, he asked Liu Wenming to immediately lead some people to quickly insert into Taiyu, giving a sudden blow to the preemptive Japanese army.When Liu Wenming and the others returned after completing their mission, Luo Wenfang took advantage of the Japanese army's shocking opportunity to leave Taiyu and drive eastward. Luo Wenfang walked eastward, and the main force of the Japanese army followed them.In order to continue to confuse the Japanese army, Luo Wenfang deliberately used different numbers to post road signs and slogans along the way.
