frowned and said to himself: "Since the devil has decided to fight in the county seat, there is no need to continue this scene we played." ”

"Zhou Liang, immediately send a telegram to the chief of staff, the commander of the regiment, and the commander of the cavalry battalion Zhou."

"The Japanese army has sensed that we are going to attack the county seat, and is trying to find a way to Zeng Bing."

"They were asked to immediately divide their troops, take squads and platoons as units, and with the cooperation of the guerrillas, take a small road to the front of the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army, and resolutely block them outside the city."

"Wait for the Japanese planes to leave the battlefield after dark, and the troops will quickly kill them, and then attack the county seat."

"If I'm not mistaken, more than 100 Japanese puppet troops will pass near us in an hour, three battalions, eight companies, and a firepower company, and they will be dispatched immediately, first slowing down their march, and then completely annihilating them after dark."

At the Japanese garrison headquarters in the county seat, the wing commander ran in with an expression of admiration.

Finding the Chief of Staff was glad to report: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, your judgment is correct. ”

"Something really happened to the three-way reinforcements, half an hour ago, the troops on the battlefield suddenly dispersed and disappeared from under the noses of the planes."

"Judging from my humble duties, these troops are all pretended by the Eighth Route Army."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many more Eighth Route Army troops in Huaiyuan at once, if it weren't for the chief of staff, you were vigilant enough to decisively order the surrounding garrisons to abandon their strongholds and reinforce the county seat, we would definitely be very dangerous tonight."

The chief of staff did not show any joy, stared at the happy wing commander and replied: "No, our crisis has not been resolved. ”

"When the reinforcements enter the county, our crisis will really disappear."

"These disappearing Eighth Route Army will definitely not allow reinforcements to enter the county seat easily."

The wing captain's smile instantly froze, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you mean, these Eighth Route Army soldiers have killed the reinforcements." ”

"Eighty percent of the way!" The chief of staff analyzed with a calm face.

"An hour ago, we gave a retreat order to a nearby stronghold, and half an hour later, the Eighth Route Army, pretending to be reinforcements, disappeared, and there must be some connection here."

The co-captain was in a hurry.

From the very beginning, the chief of staff's guesses and judgments were correct, so he was convinced of this judgment of the chief of staff.

If the reinforcements really have an accident, they can't enter the county seat.

With only more than 1,400 defenders in the city, it is too difficult to hold such a large county seat.

If it is not held, the mountains of materials in the city will definitely fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the more than 20,000 attacking troops on the front line will also lose their ammunition supply.

After a long time, they will run out of food and ammunition, and finally have to withdraw from the garrison base area and hastily end this counter-sweep......

When the time comes, everyone here will become sinners of the Empire......

The co-captain didn't dare to think about it any longer, and immediately proposed.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I will send a telegram to these returning troops now, telling them to abandon all their baggage, advance lightly, and march back to the county seat in a hurry."

"There are supplies and ammunition in the county, as long as you can come back safely, those things will be lost."

The chief of staff shook his head and scolded: "What's the use of sending telegrams? ”

"The strongest reinforcement unit also has only one infantry squadron, and it is impossible to have a radio station."

"Send someone on horseback to inform them, send more heralds, and take separate paths, and someone will definitely be able to avoid the guerrilla attack and find them."

The wing commander hurriedly replied: "The chief of staff is wise, and he will arrange it now." ”

On a small road leading to the county seat, more than thirty warriors ran wildly on it.

The platoon commander shouted as he ran: "Comrades, our speed must be accelerated, and we must rush to the front of the Japanese puppet army." ”

"If the Japanese puppet army doesn't enter the city, we can kill them by sacrificing dozens of comrades."

"Once they enter the city, the cost of our extermination will increase exponentially, and the number of comrades sacrificed will be many times greater."

"I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die, so I have to compete with the devils and rush to get ahead of them."

"If you don't want to die, rush with me, speed up!" A squad leader said.

The platoon commander continued to shout: "Except for weapons and ammunition, everything else is thrown away." ”

"As long as you take the county seat tonight, I will replace all the things that I have lost now with new ones."

On the pipeline to the county seat, more than 100 Japanese puppet troops are also on the way.

Compared to the lightly armed Eighth Route Army, each of them carried an ammunition box on their shoulders, or two people carried an ammunition box.

Although the marching speed was fast, because of the heavy load, it didn't take long to start panting.

"Captain, we carry too much ammunition, and if we continue to run like this for half an hour at most, someone will not be able to hold on." A Cao Chang ran to the lieutenant captain and said.

Seeing that the captain also had a solemn face, Cao Chang continued: "It is recommended to give up some of the baggage ammunition and advance lightly, so as to ensure that everyone's speed does not decrease and hold on all the way to the county seat." ”

The lieutenant hesitated for a long time and refused: "No, without the order of the commander, it is to be done by military law to abandon the ammunition supply without authorization." ”

"Although the Imperial Army has plenty of ammunition, because of the lack of resources in the Empire, every bullet is important to us, and it is not enough to waste it casually."

"The troops were ordered to maintain the pace of the march, rest for ten minutes after half an hour, and then continue on their way."

"At the current pace of marching, we will definitely be able to reach the county seat before dark."

"As long as we don't walk at night, we are not afraid of the guerrillas."

An hour later, dozens of Eighth Route Army, panting and flushed, finally rushed to the front of the Japanese puppet army.

At this time, the Japanese puppet army was less than six kilometers away from the county seat, and it was possible to enter the city in an hour on a rapid march.

At the same time, the heralds sent by the county also found them.

It didn't take half an hour to get here, but in order to avoid the guerrillas lurking outside the city, they had to wait an hour, and less than 20% of the heralds who came out escaped the attack of the guard company.

The herald jumped off his horse, rushed to the lieutenant, and gasped and reported: "Sir, command commands. ”

"The reinforcing troops gave up all their baggage and ammunition and marched back to the county seat in a hurry, and they couldn't delay for a minute."

Commander Cao on the side immediately proposed to the lieutenant: "Sir, I will arrange for someone to blow up the baggage ammunition we are carrying now." ”

The lieutenant shook his head and refused: "Doesn't it take time to blow them up?" ”

"The command ordered us not to delay for a minute, and we must obey orders."

"Tell the troops to throw away everything except their own weapons and ammunition, and march back to the county seat in a hurry......"

As soon as dozens of boxes of ammunition were lost, the speed of the troops' march was noticeably accelerated.

When there were still five kilometers to go before the county seat, the lieutenant was completely relieved.

It's right next to the county seat, so there will be no surprises.
