One day in March 1940, in the Hebei Central Military Region combat room, Chief of Staff Sun Yi rubbed his beard and stared at the map without saying a word.

Just now, several military sub-districts of the periphery came to report, and a large number of Japanese troops were attacking from 9 directions, with a strong momentum of encirclement of the military region. Sun Yi has guessed the reason why the Japanese army mobilized so much.

Some time ago, several stubborn troops located near the military region were frequently moving, using our army as the imaginary enemy to conduct exercises many times, and they also had private interests with the Japanese army. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of being attacked on both sides, the military commander Lu Zhengcao and political commissar Cheng Zihua each led the main force along the way to encircle and suppress the stubborn army.

It has to be said that the Japanese military intelligence system is well developed. Taking advantage of the emptiness of my internal situation, nine armies were dispatched to "sweep". First, they could destroy our base, and second, they could attract our main force to retreat and reduce the pressure of the stubborn army. Sun Yi had already sent a message to inquire. The main force of the military region was far away from the base area and it would be impossible to rush back in a while, but several major problems had already emerged.

First, the strength difference between the enemy and us is huge. There are only 7 companies in the mobile force near the military region. The Japanese army participated in the "sweeping" had 6 regiments. In this way, the traditional tactic of our army concentrating its forces to attack part of the enemy is difficult to achieve.

Secondly, there are more than 10,000 people around the military region, including logistics agencies, field hospitals, etc., and Sun Yi also needs cover to break through the siege.

Third, the only leaders of the military region who are left behind in the garrison are Chief of Staff Sun Yi, Director Sun of the Political Department and Secretary Huang. Without a military chief officer in charge, can these seven companies maintain their combat effectiveness?

Sun Yi

In the combat room, several staff members kept reporting the latest trends of various Japanese troops, and there was not much time left for Sun Yi. The original plan to move towards the 8th Division was also declared as a failure due to the rapid interweaving of the Japanese army.

The nine-way army of the Japanese army is about to encircle the military region into an iron plate. Where should this team of more than 10,000 people break through?

"Order the troops and march westward!" As soon as Sun Yi said this, he did not say what the few staff members would react, even Director Sun and Secretary Huang were also confused. Because according to previous information, there are several enemy strongholds in the west. Now moving westward, wouldn’t it bend to the enemy’s arms?

To convince the two comrades, Sun Yi gave another explanation. "The Japanese army is divided into nine groups. No matter which direction we break through, we cannot avoid encountering the enemy. If the troops remain unmoved, they will only be made into dumplings. Now that the commander and political commissar are not there, I will command the troops. Pass my order, and the troops will advance westward!" After hearing this, Director Sun and Secretary Huang nodded in agreement and said to the staff, "Hurry up and convey the order of the Chief of Staff!"

In this way, the seven companies, half north and half, were running wildly westward, sandwiched between the non-combatants in the middle. In the middle of the night, a large group of people finally arrived near the enemy's stronghold.

problems follow one after another. Should we order the troops to attack the stronghold, or send small groups of troops to explore ways to break through? If you attack the stronghold, can you end the battle before the enemy reinforcements arrive? Just when Sun Yi made a decision, the scout 's words made Sun Yi come up with a method that could pass the stronghold without a single shot.

"Chief of staff, according to reconnaissance, the Japanese troops originally stationed in the stronghold have been transferred to participate in the mobilization, but now only the puppet troops are guarding the stronghold." After hearing this, Sun Yi changed his heavy face and greeted Staff Ma beside him, "Go and find me the custody chief . I want that kind of arrogant and unreasonable!"

Staff Ma felt strange after hearing this, but he had to follow the order. Just as Staff Ma was performing his mission, Sun Yi found several company commanders and several heads of the logistics agency. After the unanimous efforts of several people, the team gathered into several square formations in the back mountain. It is worth mentioning that Sun Yi intends to let the seven combat companies stand on the outside.

There is a stronghold in front of the road, and there are several times of pursuers behind it. Sun Yi fell here to "check" the troops. Where did he sing? Here, you might as well keep it a secret.

Besides, Staff Ma asked around in the dark and finally found such a notorious security chief and brought him back to the base.

As soon as Staff Ma took the security chief into the garrison, he saw Sun Yi quarreling with several cadres.

"I can break through the stronghold in front in less than an hour!" The "corps commander" just finished speaking, and the cadre next to him immediately resumed, "How can this be done? Every time the credit is yours. It's our artillery turn this time. Look, I will flatten the stronghold for him with one shot!" The other people were also quarreling constantly, and they all wanted to seize the opportunity for this battle.

At this time, "Commander Lu Zhengcao" spoke. "I heard that the stronghold is full of puppet troops. If this is true, I think I won't attack first. If they are stubborn and do not listen to advice, it wouldn't be too late to fight again! Oh, the guests I invited have arrived." After

said that, "Lu Zhengcao" signaled to make way left and right and walked to the chief of security. The security chief, who had been indifferent before, listened to the conversation among the crowd, was already trembling. When he saw the famous "Lu Zhengcao" walking towards him, he shivered even more violently.

"Mr. Guardian? You must have heard what we said just now. I don't want to do it. If..." "Lu Zhengcao" was interrupted by the custody before he finished speaking. "I understand, understand, I know what to do..."

Seeing that the custody was suppressed, "Lu Zhengcao" turned around and ordered several "corps leaders", "4 regiments are half north and half, passing through the strongholds in turn. The puppet army dared to shoot and attack directly!"

"I understand, ensure that the task is completed!"

The loud response of several "corps leaders" was startled again, which scared the custody.

task was arranged properly, "Lu Zhengcao" turned his head and said to the chief security officer, "You have seen it too. We don't want to attack. You should first inform us and give us a message? It's convenient for others, but for yourself."

"That's right, this little thing is for me." The chief security officer bowed and quietly took a step back.

"Lu Zhengcao" saw the funny little movements of the security chief, and forced himself to not smile. "Then let this comrade send you to the base again." "Lu Zhengcao" said, pointing to Staff Ma. Seeing that the Chief of the Security Bureau had already jogged out, Sun Yi hurriedly posted it to Staff Ma and said, "Take him around the back mountain!"

It is obvious that the "Commander Lu Zhengcao" who issued orders repeatedly was pretended by Chief of Staff Sun Yi.

When the chief of security guard walked away, several "corps commanders" laughed and said, "Chief of Staff, it seems that your popularity is not as good as that of the commander!"

As for letting the chief of security guard walk behind the mountain, it was the " double insurance " arranged by Sun Yi. Seeing countless soldiers suddenly in the dark will make the Chief of the Security Bureau think that it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army. As he described it, the puppet army was obviously easier to believe.

The security chief who trotted into the stronghold saw the leader of the puppet army and gave another invigorating description. The puppet army leader who had fought with Lu's troops had a greater response. He immediately called the soldiers standing guard into the artillery tower, and the wooden stakes used to block the road were also moved aside.

Sun Yi saw this and hurriedly ordered the troops to pass through the stronghold. He couldn't shoot out a shot, and he was frightened by coaxing and scaring him through the pseudo-stronghold. , so that Sun Yi was often joked by his comrades later, saying that he had buried an actor's seedling.

Later, Sun Yi's behavior of taking responsibility in critical moments was highly praised by his superiors.
