Suzuki ordered his troops to speed up while keeping an eye on the battlefield as he watched the changes on the battlefield.

On the other hand, Li Ping is also paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, and at the same time combining various intelligence to clarify his thinking, and both sides are looking forward to the final result.

A few hours later, when Li Ping received that the two lines of troops had surrounded the Japanese troops who had come to support, Li Ping smiled coldly and made the troops attack the county town more intensively, and their strength was fully opened.

The strength of the Eighth Route Army is fully opened, and now the devils in the county town understand that they have always been used as bait by the Eighth Route Army, and after a farewell telegram is sent, they are ready to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.

The successive telegrams made Suzuki panic, first the support troops were surrounded, followed by the rapid fall of the county seat, how could Suzuki not understand that the Eighth Route Army was besieging the city to send reinforcements, using the county seat as bait.

"Baga, order the troops to speed up and prepare to converge the two army forces surrounded by the Eighth Route Army."

An angry Suzuki calculated the distance, he had three to four hours to get there, and he was no longer sure if the surrounded troops would be able to hold out.

Suzuki was angry, Li Ping was anxious, if the troops were entangled by Suzuki's division, it would be too much of a threat to his troops.

Time passed minute by minute, and the chief of staff couldn't calm down at this time, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said: "Brigade commander, you can't wait any longer, send a telegram to them to retreat." ”

Li Ping threw a cigarette to the chief of staff, lit one himself, and the smoke was filling, Li Ping said softly: "You can't interfere with the operations of the front-line troops, they are all experienced commanders and have measure." ”

Li Ping said yes, he couldn't control his heartbeat, stood up and looked at the map in anticipation.

The longer the time dragged on, the more cold sweat Li Ping's back became, and the chief of staff endured it several times when he wanted to speak.

A signal soldier just walked in at this moment, and the people in the command were staring at him.

"Report, a telegram has been sent from the front line, the devil reinforcements in the direction of Linqing have been resolved, and the troops are cleaning up the battlefield and preparing to return."

"Good"

The chief of staff grabbed the telegram and took it and read it, which was half relieved.

Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief, calculating the time, the good news of the other road should also come, sure enough, just after half an hour, the same good news came, and the command was laughing and laughing.

Li Ping put down his thoughts, Suzuki on the other side was in a different mood, looking at the three farewell telegrams on the table, Suzuki had no sadness in his heart, only fear and attention, the combat effectiveness of the independent division really deserved its name, and it could solve such an elite force of the empire in a short time, and this was only part of the strength of the independent division.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, do we still want to move forward?" , The adjutant's question made Suzuki stunned, and he also thought about it.

Obviously, the Eighth Route Army will not wait for its arrival, and its own troops will go to collect the corpses of those who died in battle, which Suzuki knows in his heart.

The most important thing now is to advance step by step, and compress their space while this force is still unstable.

"Order the troops, advance in four directions, and advance in the direction of Guanxian."

"I also sent a telegram to the commander of North China, requesting the Hebei army to block the retreat of the Eighth Route Army, so that our troops can wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Shandong."

"Hi"

The night has fallen, the troops have returned, Li Ping frowned when he looked at the long puppet army captives, what is going on?

"Brigade commander, the puppet army equipped here greatly exceeds the number of people in Shanxi, and the devils of a brigade have a regiment of puppet army equipment, and we can't figure it out now."

The words of the commanders of the various ministries suddenly flashed a bright light in Li Ping's mind, Han Fuqu vowed to fight the Japanese army, but in the end he fled, I am afraid that these puppet troops were the troops surrounded by devils at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Li Ping was relieved, turned back to the political commissar and said: "Political commissar, it's still the old way, these puppet troops must be quickly transformed and supplement us." ”

"I understand, I'll go back and make arrangements."

After the troops arranged the defense area and began to rest, Li Ping contacted Division Commander Chen.

On the other side, Senior Commander Chen looked at the good news from Li Ping, and suddenly smiled, sure enough, Li Ping seized the opportunity, and it was strange that the devil was not beaten by stinking.

"Division commander, the combat effectiveness of the independent division is much stronger than ours!" , the political commissar sighed, Division Commander Chen rolled his eyes, the independent division was expanded from the independent brigade, and they fought all the way to the offensive battle, and they overturned the two divisions of the devil, this kind of record is unique among the Chinese troops.

"I can't help it! People are strong and strong, but I am a cadre transferred from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army said that the artillery captured by the independent division has been pulled by the boss a lot, and now the artillery in their hands can be bombarded with more than one division of the devil, and these artillery pieces are now in the hands of Division Commander Xu. ”

"If Li Ping has a cannon in his hand, according to what I know about him, I'm afraid he will be on the same page with Suzuki now."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, the command immediately burst into laughter, Li Ping's temperament they knew a little, and he dared to make a move when he had the opportunity, and then constantly expanded his advantage, and finally made the situation more favorable to his side.

When the command headquarters quieted down, Division Commander Chen spoke: "Li Ping has given us a good situation, and now that the Suzuki division has been transferred by him, we can't sit idle." ”

"You plan the direction of the offensive of the troops, two requirements."

"First, we should expand our base as much as possible, and we should not let go of such a good opportunity."

"Second, reduce the pressure on Li Ping's side and make Suzuki unpleasant."

After Division Commander Chen finished speaking, the chief of staff quickly discussed, and now they were full of enthusiasm, and the political commissars looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Li Ping's troops did not have a stable foothold, and this time they gave Suzuki a dismount, so they had to fight.

Division Commander Chen's worries Li Ping is not clear, he is now constantly sending scouts, and Huzi's special combat team is also constantly scattered to investigate information, which gives them a greater advantage.

The next day, the reconnaissance troops who kept coming back brought all kinds of information, and Li Ping asked the staff officers to gather them one by one.

"Brigade commander, Suzuki, this old devil is not simple! You see his troops advancing in four directions, they can support each other in two hours, and they go hand in hand, and we don't have a chance to do it. ”

Li Ping looked at the information, combined with the intelligence to mark the devil's march route one by one, the chief of staff's words made Li Ping nod slightly, and said: "If Suzuki is simple-minded, I'm afraid that Senior Commander Chen doesn't know how many times he has been beaten." ”

"He has been fighting with Senior Commander Chen for a long time, and the person who can make our old chief complain, can you say it can be simple?"

The chief of staff suddenly laughed, he looked at the telegram sent by Division Commander Chen, but he told him carefully, for fear that Li Ping would suffer a loss, which showed how difficult this Suzuki was to entangle in the eyes of the old chief.
