The garrison regiment and the independent regiment that attacked the Japanese assembly area were indeed in Hujiazhuang, but only part of the troops.

Laishui is located in the plain, dozens of kilometers around the county seat, even if there are forests, it is very small.

If the seizures are hidden in these forests, as long as the devils are searched one by one, they will definitely be exposed.

Li Hao decided to give the devil a blow.

Half of the troops carried the captured and returned directly to Laishui, and half of the troops personally commanded and bluffed, pretending that the attacking troops were carrying the captured troops and stationed in Hujiazhuang, attracting the attention of the Japanese army and buying time for the transport troops to return to Laishui.

The traces of retreat seen by the Japanese reconnaissance troops were all deliberately left by Li Hao, including discarded materials, ammunition boxes, and broken weapons, leading the devils to Hujiazhuang step by step.

When the reconnaissance team found Hujiazhuang, they were also exposed to the commandos of the garrison regiment.

The captain of the first squad of the commando team immediately found Li Hao and reported.

"Commander, there are a total of thirteen devil scouts chasing Hujiazhuang, three devils returning the same way, and the remaining ten devils are hidden outside the village."

"According to the order, the three returning devils left them alone, and the ten devils left behind are all watched by the commando, as long as the regiment commander gives the order, they can be killed immediately."

Li Hao replied calmly: "As long as someone goes back to report the news, it will be useless to leave these devils." ”

"Kill them, expand the search area, and make sure there are no devil scouts within five kilometers of our perimeter."

As soon as the "Sun Jiawu ......" squad leader left the command headquarters, Li Hao called the guard company commander in.

Looking at Hong Linfeng and ordered: "Chief of Staff, according to the original plan, I will take four companies, seven companies, two fire companies, an artillery company of the independent regiment, and all the flying thunder artillery units, and immediately evacuate the village to prepare a greeting for the devil." You and the guard company stay and continue to play for the devils in the village, bluffing and attracting them to kill them. ”

After the commandos killed the devil scouts, the main force troops left Hujiazhuang one after another.

When the chief of staff of the devil received the report of the reconnaissance force and brought heavy troops to kill him, there was only one guard company left in Hujiazhuang.

"Weng Hum ......"

A plane arrived in Hujiazhuang ahead of schedule.

The flight altitude was very low, almost close to the ground and passed over Hujiazhuang.

The devil pilot's eyes widened, staring at Hujiazhuang, wanting to take a full view of the situation inside.

After passing Hujiazhuang three times in a row, the pilot finally got a rough idea and immediately asked the operator behind him to send a telegram.

On the highway more than 10 kilometers away from Hujiazhuang, more than 1,000 devils hurriedly marched forward.

The chief of staff was riding on his war horse, and was very anxious, and from time to time he raised his binoculars to look at the end of the road in front of him, trying to hurry to his destination.

The telegraph operator suddenly rode up and caught up: "Sir, the aviation reports that they have reached the sky over Hujiazhuang. ”

"Aerial reconnaissance shows that the Eighth Route Army is still in Hujiazhuang, weapons, ammunition and materials are all piled up in the open space at the entrance of the village, and the village is full of Eighth Route Army."

"After seeing the imperial plane, the Eighth Route Army began to transfer weapons, ammunition and supplies."

"Aviation hopes to launch an attack in advance."

The chief of staff shook his head and refused: "No, we must wait until we kill him before we can attack." ”

"Without the cooperation of the infantry, the Eighth Route Army is likely to disperse in a hurry after being attacked, divide its troops and break through, and no matter how powerful the aircraft is, they will not be able to kill them all."

"My goal is to wipe them out, and I must wait for the troops to surround Hujiazhuang before I can attack."

"Call them back: Kill the Eighth Route Army in the village, if anyone wants to run, just blow it up with a bomb, and we can kill it in an hour and a half at most."

This is the safest way to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in Hujiazhuang.

According to the chief of staff's original idea, he didn't want to send the plane in advance, because this would definitely startle the snake.

If the commander of the Eighth Route Army is decisive enough to disperse and break through under the attack of the aircraft, even if the casualties are a little larger, the capture last night will also be lost.

But in any case, it can still keep part of the troops.

The chief of staff was worried that the Eighth Route Army would do this.

After hesitating for a long time, at the last moment it was decided to send a plane.

The Eighth Route Army was too cautious, and there must have been their scouts near the assembly area.

After the troops are dispatched, the Eighth Route Army in Hujiazhuang will also get the news in advance.

At that time, the troops were still ten kilometers away from Hujiazhuang, and they knew that they were transferring.

If there is a plane over their heads, it will be different.

Under the deterrence of the plane, they certainly did not dare to leave the village rashly, exposed to the plane and sent to death in vain.

If they take 10,000 steps back, even if they risk breaking through and an aircraft attacks from the sky, they will suffer heavy casualties.

The purpose of the chief of staff was achieved.

When there were still five kilometers to go from Hujiazhuang, the Eighth Route Army not only did not break through, but also overhauled the fortifications in the village.

"Yo Xi, Amaterasu finally helped us once." The chief of staff said happily with the telegram.

The two captains were also very happy, and shouted excitedly: "Sir, this time we will definitely be able to win a big victory and kill all the Eighth Route Army." ”

"I ask to be the first to attack, so that the Eighth Route Army can have a good taste of the power of the Imperial Army."

The other captain quit, he also wanted to take the first credit, and just as he was about to speak, the chief of staff interrupted first.

"This time we don't have a main attack and an assist."

"After killing Hujiazhuang, we quickly surrounded it, and then the planes bombed, and after bombing the artillery, all the shells we brought were all gone, and finally the infantry, the whole army attacked together, pressing step by step, and did not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity to take advantage of."

The chief of staff was very confident in his arrangement, and after the order was given, he continued: "The troops must also speed up the march, and it is not excluded that the Eighth Route Army will disperse and break through at the last moment. ”

From here to Hujiazhuang is an endless plain, and the nearest hilly terrain is three kilometers away from the road.

Walking on such a road, all the devils are relieved and do not have to worry about ambushes.

Walking and walking, the reconnaissance unit became an ornament.

When there were still two kilometers away from Hujiazhuang, the chief of staff could already see the entrance of the village, and several Eighth Route Army, carrying guns on their backs, hurriedly rushed into the village.

"Chief of Staff, they must be the sentries of the Eighth Route Army, and they are in a hurry to go back and report after seeing the Imperial Army coming." A group leader analyzed.

The chief of staff agreed with this answer, and the last scruples in his heart were gone.

The Eighth Route Army is right in front of them, and even if they want to run now, it's too late.

The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army will kill and surround the village." ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As soon as the order was spoken, an explosion sounded in the ears.

In the wheat field 200 meters across the road, a row of dozens of large pits suddenly appeared, and one after another flames erupted from the big pits, and then I saw disc-sized explosive packets flying out of the big pits, rolling and flying towards the road.

"Baga, it's a flying thunder cannon, everyone disperse and move immediately......," the chief of staff shouted in horror, and then ran to the wheat field on the other side of the road.

The explosive pack flies very slowly, but the flight distance is very close, and it only takes two or three seconds from launch to landing.

As soon as the chief of staff ran out a dozen meters, an explosion sounded behind him.
