The Dongliang stronghold, Sasaki Nakasa is now in front of the map, frowning, and has been motionless for almost ten minutes!

The adjutant stood next to him, wanting to speak and stopping!

Just now, the troops obviously won a big battle, killing at least two hundred and eight Route Army, and also destroying one mountain artillery and three mortars of the Eighth Route Army!

In normal times, it can definitely be called a big victory!

But looking at the reaction of the captain in front of him, he didn't seem to be very happy!

The adjutant was eager to ask why, to figure out why?

But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back!

I have been following the captain for three years, and Sasaki was his deputy when he was still the captain squadron leader, so I know his temper very well!

No matter when, as long as he is thinking about the problem, no one can disturb him, and his deputy is no exception, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat!

If you are scolded, you will be slapped!

"Sir, the military department is in an emergency!"

At this time, the operator suddenly rushed in, gave the adjutant a chance to speak, and hurriedly asked!

"What's the matter? So anxious! ”

While handing the telegram to the adjutant, the telegraph operator reported: "The military department has just received information that a large convoy has set off from Datong this evening, transporting a large amount of military equipment, all of which have been seized by the Eighth Route Army from the Datong Ammunition Factory and the Repair Facility!" The military department judged: The ultimate target of this batch of military equipment is Lingqiu City, let us strengthen vigilance, intercept this batch of military equipment, and destroy it as a last resort, and must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The content of the telegram was very detailed, and even the time when the stronghold of Xiaoguan and the three outposts were taken was clearly written!

After reading the telegram, Sasaki's brow, which was still frowning just now, suddenly stretched, and suddenly he exclaimed, "I understand!" ”

"I'm very sure that the judgment of the military department is correct, and the ultimate goal of this batch of military equipment is Lingqiu!"

"I was still thinking about why the Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked here, but now I have figured it out, it was the Eighth Route Army that escorted this batch of equipment that attacked us just now!"

"The convoy of the Eighth Route Army can only take the road, and if you want to enter Lingqiu, you can only pass through us, so there is the battle just now!"

"If it weren't for the fact that we secretly stationed here a few days ago, with the strength of the original garrison in the Dongliang stronghold, we would definitely not be able to stop the attack of those Eighth Route Army just now!"

"Report to the military headquarters immediately, the Dongliang stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army half an hour ago, and we judged that this Eighth Route Army was escorting the convoy, and they wanted to enter Lingqiu through the Dongliang stronghold, but they have now been repelled by our department!"

"After dawn, we will send scouts to search the surrounding area, find the convoy, and intercept it!"

"Please send aviation troops to search the perimeter from the air!"

"The convoy has a large target, and the air-ground cooperative search will definitely be found!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, the adjutant suddenly broke into Sasaki's office, his eyes lit up and he reported: "Sir, good news! ”

"The reconnaissance team we sent out should have found the Eighth Route Army convoy!"

"An infantry squad encountered the Eighth Route Army in the forest ten kilometers southeast of the stronghold, and the two sides were fighting fiercely!"

"Judging from the battle situation, the Eighth Route Army is blocking our people from entering the forest!"

After speaking, the adjutant directly marked the location of the battle on the map with a pen!

Sasaki didn't speak, wrinkling his brows and falling into deep thought!

As an excellent commander, his combat ideas will never be swayed by one or two pieces of intelligence!

And no one knows whether this information is true or deliberately released by the Eighth Route Army!

Seeing that Sasaki didn't speak, the adjutant was anxious: "Sir, I think eighty percent of the convoy of the Eighth Route Army is hiding in this forest!" ”

"Otherwise, with the Eighth Route Army's combat style of fighting and running, it will never be so cost-effective and try to prevent our search troops from entering the forest!"

"Also, this forest is close to the road, and it is very convenient for the Eighth Route Army to hide the convoy in it!"

"I suggest that an additional infantry squadron be sent there at once and go into the woods to see what is going on!"

"At the same time, contact the military department to reinforce our aviation troops, immediately reconnoiter this forest, and provide air support to the ground troops, deter the Eighth Route Army fighting with us, and reduce the combat pressure on the ground troops!"

Sasaki shook his head and replied, "No, even if we send troops to reinforce the battlefield, we can't send so many over!" ”

"I've been thinking about a question for two hours!"

"A huge convoy of more than sixty cars can hide there!"

"After analysis and judgment, only these four forests can be hidden!"

"If we concentrate our forces in this forest and ignore the other three forests, and the battle in front of us is deliberately done by the Eighth Route Army, then we are not suffering a big loss, and we will be fooled directly!"

"Order, the nearest unit to them immediately send a reinforced team to reinforce it!"

"The aviation can also draw an aircraft over to cooperate with the operation!"

"With so many of our troops, even if the Eighth Route Army tries its best to stop it, they still have the strength to break into the forest and find out!"

The adjutant replied with a look of admiration: "Sir, this can indeed ensure that the whole search is foolproof, I will go and give the order now!" ”

In less than half an hour, the adjutant rushed in again, with more admiration on his face than a smile!

Rushing in, he shouted with a compliment: "Sir, wise! ”

"You're right!"

"It's still southeast of the stronghold, and this time it's the woods fifteen kilometers away that have found signs of the Eighth Route Army's activities!"

"The search troops wanted to enter the mountains, but they were stopped by the Eighth Route Army hiding in the forest, and the two sides were fighting at the edge of the forest, and the battle was very fierce!"

"This forest is one of the forests you judged at the beginning, sir!"

"The convoy of the Eighth Route Army is likely to be hidden in this forest, and the forest where the Eighth Route Army was discovered just now must be a suspicious plan of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Deliberately diverting our attention to that side, and then ignoring where the convoy is really hiding!"

"They are too cunning, if it weren't for your wisdom sir, who saw this conspiracy, we would definitely be fooled!"

The expression on Sasaki's face did not change in the slightest, and he replied very calmly: "Suspicious strategy, this word is used very well!" ”

"But who can guarantee that the battle going on here is not a suspicious tactic?"

"Therefore, until the exact trace of this convoy is found, no one can be sure where this convoy is hiding, and our main force cannot be mobilized!"

"Order the nearest unit to draw a reinforcement team over, and then pass a plane, and go into the forest to find out first!"

At the temporary headquarters of the garrison regiment, Huang Sheng, the commander of the third battalion, hurriedly walked in and reported: "Commander, the Japanese army has dispatched another reinforced squad to kill the forest where the third battalion and the ninth company are active!" ”

"With the addition of the four search teams dispatched at the beginning, so far, the devils have dispatched six squads and two infantry squadrons!"

"Your judgment is not wrong at all, the devil's attention is all on the four forests that are active in four companies, and he doesn't notice under his nose at all!"

"This trick is really amazing!"

"If the devil commander knows that our convoy is hidden near their stronghold, it is covered with thatch and shrubs for camouflage, and the artillery is fired from the stronghold, and the mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars they are equipped with can all arrive, the devil commander will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood on the spot!"

Unexpectedly, Li Hao didn't have too many smiles on his face!

There was silence for a long time before he replied: "The devil commander is even more difficult than I imagined!" ”

"For us, the military equipment transported by the convoy is not only a treasure, but also a bait for us to put out!"

"My original idea was to use this bait to lure the devils out of the stronghold and go to the woods to kill them, and relieve us of the pressure to take the stronghold tonight!"

"However, the little devil commander doesn't seem to be fooled!"

"It's completely a posture of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, if the convoy does not appear, the main force will not be mobilized, and it will not be fooled if it has been nesting in the stronghold!"

"What then?" Huang Sheng asked anxiously!

"We don't have heavy weapons, if the main force of the devils has been staying in the stronghold, even if the second battalion arrives in time tonight, we will not have a chance to take the Dongliang stronghold and open the passage back to the base!"

"Regiment commander, I suggest giving orders to several main companies, asking them to increase their blocking efforts, and strive to kill the little devils who have entered the forest in advance at all costs in one morning!"

"Since the little devils don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, then we will knock out their troops who entered the mountain! They want to see the rabbits, so they can only continue to send troops! ”

Li Hao actually refused, shook his head and denied: "No! ”

"The casualties of the troops in this way are too large, and the base area is in front, so it is too much of a loss to lose hundreds of people in vain in order to kill the base area!"

Huang Sheng's eyes lit up and shouted: "Commander, do you already have a way!" ”

"Not bad!" Li Hao affirmed!

"Since the little devil doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, then let's let them see the rabbit!"

"If I'm not mistaken, a lot of small equipment captured by the troops in Datong was brought by the troops, and the third battalion also brought a lot of equipment when they came!"

"Order the cavalry to bring some equipment to the guard company, and tell Sun Jiawu to find a way to let the little devil see these equipment!"

Huang Sheng reacted suddenly, and suddenly shouted, "I understand!" ”

"Seeing the equipment, the little devil will definitely be fooled, and then the main force will be dispatched to kill the forest where the guard company is hiding!"

"Da Da Da ......"

A string of machine-gun fire rang out in the forest, and a dozen devils scattered in battle formation fell two people in an instant!

"Bang bang bang...... Dadada......"

The devil reacted quickly, half-squatted on the ground, raised his rifle and crooked handle and fired at the place where the gun was fired just now!

Bullets whizzed through the woods, and branches were constantly broken and fell to the ground!

"Baga, those cunning Eighth Route Army must have slipped away again!" Seeing that there was no movement in the depths of the forest, Cao Chang, the devil who led the team, immediately scolded, and ordered with a wave of his hand!

"Machine gun cover, let's move on!"

Eight riflemen tiptoed forward less than twenty meters, and an exclamation sounded in the middle of the ranks!

"Sir, there's something buried under the grass!"

Cao long strode over and carefully lifted the thatch with a bayonet!

A device appeared in front of his eyes!

"It's military equipment, it must be something you're looking for above!" Cao Chang's eyes lit up and shouted!

"Scatter and search, there must be more than one device here, find out!"
