Two hours have passed.

None of the heralds sent out by the command returned, nor did the reinforcements who had left the city last night, and they were as if they were missing, and there was no news.

The face of the captain of the supplementary wing was very ugly, and seeing that the chief of staff's face was getting heavier and heavier, he hesitated and analyzed: "Your Excellency the chief of staff, I judge that something is likely to happen to them, what should we do next?" ”

"Order all garrisons in the county to strengthen their vigilance!" The chief of staff ordered solemnly.

"Contact the aviation corps, and immediately dispatch planes to search the battlefield."

"There are more than 1,000 reinforcements we have sent, and I don't believe that Huaiyuan's Eighth Route Army has such strength to wipe them all out."

At the siege headquarters, Li Hao's face was full of smiles, and several staff officers of the headquarters were also very happy.

Not only did they win a complete victory last night, destroying more than a thousand puppet troops, but their own casualties were still very small.

With this victory in place, everyone is confident about tonight's siege.

"Regiment commander, Regiment Commander Zhou reported: After the captured weapons and ammunition were replenished with the guerrillas, there were still two light machine guns, 158 rifles, and 176 prisoners." Zhou Liang rushed in and reported.

"Commander Zhou asks for instructions: Is the unit going to return to the garrison immediately?"

"Don't come back yet!" Li Hao shook his head and ordered.

"Send a telegram to Commander Zhou: Divide a battalion and change into the uniforms of the Japanese puppet army, let the guerrillas cooperate, and stage a scene of battlefield pursuit and killing for the devils."

"The other troops hid the corpses of the Japanese puppet soldiers and hid them on the spot, and after dark, they moved directly in the direction of the county seat."

"The same telegram was sent to the chief of staff and the commander of the cavalry battalion Zhou."

"In addition, inform the guard company that has moved to the outside of Huaiyuan City: The troops have changed their military uniforms and pretended to be guerrillas to shoot all the Japanese puppet troops who entered and left Huaiyuan County."

"I'm going to play a play for the Japanese puppet army in the city, so that they feel that the reinforcements of the three routes have not been eliminated and are chasing and killing the guerrillas."

"The reason why no news has reached the county seat is because there are many guerrillas around the county town, and their heralds have all been killed."

Huaiyuan Japanese garrison headquarters, communications staff hurriedly ran in.

Holding a telegram in his hand, the nervous expression on his face was noticeably lighter than just now.

After running all the way to the chief of staff, he happily reported: "Sir, the aviation has just sent a telegram, which is good news. ”

"The reinforcements did not have an accident and are chasing the guerrillas attacking the checkpoint outside the city."

"The aviation even sent their specific location, about 20 kilometers away from the county seat."

The chief of staff was not so easy to fool, shook his head and replied: "No......"

"The commanders of the three-way offensive forces are all squadron leaders, and at least they must know the rules of operation."

"If they fail to encircle and annihilate the guerrillas on the battlefield, they will send someone back to report if they are not subject to the military orders abroad."

"And we didn't see the heralds they sent back at all, and even the heralds we sent out ourselves are missing."

"There's definitely a conspiracy in here that we don't know about."

"Contact the aviation corps, continue to keep an eye on reinforcements for me, and report the situation as soon as possible."

"The command sent new heralds, three people in each direction, to contact the three reinforcements, to find out what happened to them? Why don't you send someone to contact us. ”

"Contact the few imperial strongholds closest to the county seat and get them ready to abandon their strongholds."

"If there is an accident with the reinforcements, and the target seen by the aviation is fake, immediately abandon the stronghold, and all the troops will enter the county town to increase the strength of the county garrison."

"It only takes one night to eat our three-way reinforcements, and the Eighth Route Army operating in Huaiyuan is definitely not as simple as three guerrillas, and the target of these Eighth Route Army is us, so we have to guard against it."

The commander of the supplementary wing replied with admiration: "The chief of staff is wise, and he also believes that the troops should be prepared in advance. ”

"If there is a real accident with the reinforcements, the imperial army in the nearby stronghold will definitely be able to kill the county seat in the shortest possible time, protect the baggage and ammunition here, and be prepared."

"Humble duty, send a herald now, ride over, and run a round trip in two hours at most."

In less than ten minutes, nine heralds rode out of Huaiyuancheng, and the soldiers divided into three routes, looking for reinforcements.

These nine heralds were the most elite soldiers in the army, and on the frontal battlefield, three people were not afraid of a platoon of Chinese troops.

So the chief of staff was not at all worried about whether they would be able to evade the guerrilla interception and find reinforcements.

On the official road east of Huaiyuan City, three cavalry members lined up and ran forward at the fastest speed.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the county seat more than a kilometer.

Just as the city became more and more blurry and smaller, the accident happened.

With a "plop ......", the herald who rushed to the front smashed to the ground with men and horses.

The herald's reaction was very fast, and at the last moment of landing, he got rid of the shackles of the war horse, and jumped next to the war horse with all his strength to avoid being pressed by the war horse.

But it all came too suddenly, and I was caught off guard, although I was not hit by the war horse, but I fell and ate.

The soldier's instincts made him realize that he was under attack.

Quickly got up from the ground, half-squatting, the shoulder on his back didn't know when it was already in his hand, and he stared around vigilantly.

The two cavalrymen behind did not dare to continue until they understood the situation.

Turned over and jumped off the warhorse, ran in three steps and two steps to the side of the comrade who had already landed, also half-squatting on the ground, holding a rifle.

"Security ......: There are no suspicious targets nearby......" shouted an old devil.

The three of them waited another minute to make sure there was no danger before relaxing.

With the rifle in his hand, he got up from the ground and walked over to the horse to check the wounds.

"Eight grid tooth road, it is a horse pit, and the leg of the war horse is broken!" A devil shouted.

The war horse was injured, and the owner of the war horse also fell hard, so the herald could only return to the county seat the same way.

The remaining two heralds hurried over to their horses, ready to move on.

Just as they mounted their horses, rifles on their backs, and wanted to set off, the guns rang out.

A light machine gun and more than a dozen rifles fired at the same time.

Both heralds sat on horseback, holding the reins, and stood on the road like targets.

More than a dozen bullets whistled in, and the shooting distance was close, and at least ten bullets hit the target at the same time and drilled into the devil's body.

"Enemy attack...... If something happens to the heralds, you immediately bring someone to reinforce them. The captain of the devil squad guarding the city saw this scene with his own eyes, and immediately ordered a military cao next to him to rescue him.

Thirteen devils and a dozen puppet soldiers rushed out of the city gate with a roar.

By the time they arrived at the battlefield, the three heralds had turned into corpses.

Equipment, war horses, all looted.

"Dada...... Horn ......"

Two hundred meters away, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the ravine, and Jun Cao subconsciously threw himself on the ground and shouted: "Enemy attack, hide ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunfire also stopped, and the two imperial soldiers who were in charge of guarding fell to the ground with one dead and one wounded.

Jun Cao gritted his teeth with hatred, and he really wanted to lead the troops to kill him and return a tooth for a tooth.

But in the end he held back.

There are less than thirty people in his hands, although there are not many people on the other side, but they are very cunning, and they know at a glance that they are guerrillas, and if they lead the troops to chase them rashly, they will definitely be played around, and in the end they will lose their wives and lose their troops.
