Stone Village, a village less than five miles away from Nanyan Town.

Gunshots rang out in Nanyan Town last night, and they heard it too.

As soon as the morning dawned, many people wanted to leave the village and go to the town to find out what was going on with the gunfire last night.

Before the people left the village, a platoon of the Eighth Route Army stopped at the entrance of the village and blocked them back, one squad of soldiers controlled the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, and the soldiers of the two squads entered the village separately, shouting to the villagers, and asked everyone to rush to the village entrance after half an hour for a meeting.

Although there is no base area of the Eighth Route Army in Baoding, they have long been famous.

In North China, there is hardly anyone who is unaware of their existence.

I heard that the Eighth Route Army was coming, and although everyone was worried about the revenge of the devils in the future, they did not resist.

When the time came, more than 400 people in the village gathered at the entrance of the village.

"Folks, we are the Eighth Route Army, the devils in the stronghold of Nanyan Town have been eliminated by us, and the superiors ordered us to establish a base with Nanyan Town as the center, and organize everyone to fight against the little devils in Baoding City to defend their homeland!"

"Today, let's come over to make a front stop, tell everyone that our Eighth Route Army is coming, and at the same time warn those traitors who still work for the devil anymore, there must be a bottom line in life, if our Eighth Route Army finds that someone continues to betray their ancestors and betray their fellow countrymen, our Eighth Route Army will definitely retaliate with a tooth for a tooth."

"Next, we will successively set up work teams in the village, form guerrilla units, and organize everyone to fight devils while working and producing......"

With Nanyan Town as the center, dozens of surrounding villages were all active by the Eighth Route Army overnight.

Villages with a small population have a squad of the Eighth Route Army, and villages with a large population have a platoon of the Eighth Route Army.

Everyone is in full swing, and they have the posture of establishing a base here.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Baoding, the person in charge of intelligence hurriedly ran in, shouting as he ran: "General, something has happened in Nanyan Town!" ”

"The Eighth Route Army wants to establish a base there."

"The stronghold of Nanyan Town has been taken down by them, with Nanyan Town as the center, dozens of surrounding villages have appeared in the Eighth Route Army, they divide troops into various villages and towns in squad platoons, form task forces and guerrillas, and then mobilize the common people to fight against the imperial army."

"This is the usual method used by the Eighth Route Army to form a base area, and it will never be wrong."

After speaking, the person in charge of intelligence handed the information he had just collected to the brigade commander.

Then he went on to report: "This is the news that this is the news from the intelligence agents who are lurking in South Rock Town. ”

"As soon as dawn, the Eighth Route Army was in the town to promote their policies, mobilizing ordinary people to enter the stronghold to help them clean up the battlefield."

"The intelligence officers went with them, and all the imperial troops stationed in the stronghold were killed by the Eighth Route Army, and more than half of the imperial troops were killed or wounded, and the rest were captured."

The chief of staff followed up and reported: "General, the reconnaissance unit has also sent back some news. ”

"It has been determined that the reinforcements were ambushed on a mountain road about four kilometers away from Nanyan Town, and the entire army was wiped out, and the equipment, ammunition, and military uniforms on the soldiers were all taken away by the Eighth Route Army."

"The scouts who went deep into the villages also sent back a lot of information, which is similar to the information collected by the intelligence department."

"Larger villages have a platoon of the Eighth Route Army, and smaller villages have a squad of the Eighth Route Army."

"Meetings are being held for the common people, so-called task forces, guerrilla units."

"The only thing that makes the lowly people happy is that when these Eighth Route Army first arrived, the common people did not trust them very much, and their reaction to their formation of task forces and guerrillas was very cold."

"But we can't take it lightly."

"The Eighth Route Army's ideological work and mobilization capabilities are too powerful, and in time, the common people will definitely be moved by what they say and will not hesitate to support them."

"I think we should send troops to kill them before they have a foothold in Nanyan Town, or at least drive them out of Baoding."

"According to a little statistics, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army entering Baoding exceeds 600 people."

"If they are allowed to establish a base in Nanyan Town, their total strength will be expanded to 1,000 in a month at most."

"Last night they wiped out more than 600 of us and captured a large amount of weapons and equipment, as long as there are people, the troops can be doubled in no time."

The brigade commander looked at the information in his hand and did not speak, but it could be seen that his expression was becoming solemn little by little, and finally his whole face was red with anger.

With a slap on the table, he strode over to the sand table, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth in order.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, these Eighth Route Army are too arrogant."

"In the past, they also had the idea of coming to Baoding to develop a base area, and they sent troops, but they were all attacked by us and retreated. If memory serves, Baoding has not had a large-scale battle for a year. ”

"It must be that the Eighth Route Army has healed its wounds and forgotten the pain, thinking that the imperial army is not as good as before, so they want to fight our idea again."

"Chief of Staff, I completely agree with your analysis just now, we must take advantage of their unstable foothold and seize the time to kill them."

"I order you to personally command the troops assembled last night, and to reinforce you with a mountain artillery squadron and a cavalry squadron, and leave the city in half an hour."

"It took two days to completely annihilate all the Eighth Route Army that entered Baoding."

"Tell our opponent that although the overall strength of the Japanese army in North China is declining, the strength of our Baoding garrison has not been affected, and it is still as strong as ever."

"Defeat their idea of developing a base in Baoding."

Hong Linfeng, the former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, ran in excitedly, holding the telegram that the communication platoon had just received.

"Regiment commander, the commander of the seventh battalion, He Jun, did it."

"This is a telegram just sent by He Jun, the Japanese army in Baoding has already believed that they are going to establish a base in Baoding, and they will send heavy troops to destroy them as soon as it is dawn."

Li Hao happily replied: "Great! ”

"As long as the little devils in Baoding City don't associate us with the weapons and ammunition that are about to go south, then our attack on Baoding will be much better."

"Tell He Jun: Be sure to hold back the Japanese puppet army's attacking troops, but not fight too hard, and at the right time, you can fight two defeats to paralyze the Japanese army, so that they can further convince them that the goal of He Jun's goal is to build a base in Baoding."

Hong Linfeng recorded the order and signed it for Li Hao, and immediately handed it over to a staff officer to send to the communication platoon, then looked at Li Hao and asked: "Regiment commander, the first battalion, the third battalion, the fourth battalion, the fifth battalion, the sixth battalion, the eighth battalion, as well as the artillery, cavalry, and chariot troops, have all moved in place, when will we enter Baoding?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and reminded: "We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's take our time, and we must not startle the snake." ”

"Send a telegram to the political commissar: I must be given the weapons and ammunition that the Japanese army is about to move south, where to camp every night, when to arrive in Baoding, and the time must be accurate."

"Contact Xiao Yuan again and ask him how he is preparing."

"Whether we can win Baoding at a critical moment, his role is crucial."
