Houlu County, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

"Dazuo, Nanzhang sent a telegram that it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army at seven o'clock tonight."

Looking at the telegram handed by Fujino, Sasaki's face showed a smile of relief.

"At seven o'clock in the evening, when it falls into the night, people are most likely to get sleepy. Choosing to launch a surprise attack at 7 p.m. is similar to attacking at dawn. It looks like our old friend has finally done it. ”

Looking at Sasaki, who was gradually agitated, Fujino just stood aside respectfully.

"Dazuo, it is undeniable that this Eighth Route Army does have some extraordinary courage and vision. Not only did he dare to attack at this moment, but the attack position of Nanzhang he chose was also tricky. ”

Sasaki was noncommittal.

"There is some truth in what Fujino-kun said, but any good tactic should be based on the matching military strength, and the Eighth Route Army wants to use a little breakthrough tactic to break up my net, provided that he has an iron head. Immediately telegraph the mobile troops around Nanzhang to extinguish them! ”

……

"Smack!"

With the pop of shell gun bullets poking a big hole in the devil's chest, the last devil in Nanzhang Town was completely eliminated.

"Battalion commander, it's already been checked. There was not a single living mouth left in the barracks. ”

After listening to the reports of several company commanders, Bai Lin immediately issued several more orders.

"Very well, the first company is responsible for taking over the entire Nanjiao, remember to control all the intersections, and destroy the roads and build fortifications as quickly as possible.

The 2nd Company continued to clean up the battlefield and alienate the entire barracks, sealing the materials, counting the seizures, and disposing of the corpses.

The third company is responsible for the stability of order in the town, and at the same time tries to transfer all the people in the town. ”

After receiving Bai Lin's order, the first company commander and the second company commander all went down to carry out the order. Only the commander of the third company did not move for a long time.

"Battalion commander, we haven't screened ordinary people and traitors, will there be a problem with transferring people like this?"

For the dead brain of the third company commander, Bai Lin suddenly felt a big headache.

"We don't have time to sift through now! And I'm talking about the transfer to point out a route to the people in the town, and we don't care if they go or not!

What we have to do is to make sure that there are no distractions in Nanzhang Town, which will become the battlefield next! It's not about transferring people to base areas! Is your brain an elm pimple?! ”

"Report to the battalion commander, no! I'll do the order! ”

"Get out!"

Looking at the commander of the third company who had retreated in a gray manner, Bai Lin took the guards and began to patrol the barracks.

In the command headquarters of the barracks, look at the devil officer who was shot through the heart in the end in vain to destroy all the materials.

"Shaozo? A squadron leader should be the commander of this barracks, right? ”

He took out his military ID card from the devil's breast pocket, and found that the words on it were blurred with blood, and he couldn't even read his name.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway."

Casually throwing the blood-stained document back to the devil's corpse, Bai Lin turned around and motioned to the soldiers of the second company to continue cleaning up, while he picked up the information on the table and looked at it.

This is not only a map of the troop deployment of the villages around Nanzhang, a detailed file of the defenders in the town, etc. The most important thing is to have a record of the work of the defenders of Nanzhang Town.

The work records not only indicate the vehicles and personnel who need to pass through several roadblocks in Nanzhang Town every day, but also indicate the number of personnel and materials carried by each batch. And there is also a record that Nanzhang Town is responsible for refueling and repairing vehicles.

"Tut-tut, it's really the right thing to hit this Nanzhang. This Nanzhang devil is really a generalist, and he can even repair cars. I knew that I would have left a few alive. ”

Bai Lin half-jokingly said that although he didn't know all the Japanese on it, he still knew numbers and some simple words. Moreover, the devil has a lot of documents with ancient Chinese characters written on them. These Japanese have been Chinese students for more than 1,000 years, and they have been using Chinese characters for more than 1,000 years!

"By the way, since it is also responsible for repairing cars and refueling, there should be a lot of gasoline and parts in the warehouse. Pack all of these things and maybe they will come in handy later. ”

Bai Lin's words made several veterans of the first battalion couldn't help but snicker, the current battalion commander was like the regiment commander in some places, as if he had been cut out of the same mold.

"Battalion commander, a company has exchanged fire with devils on the road!"

Bai Lin had just walked out of the devil's barracks and was going to take a look at the first company, when he received a battle report from the first company.

"What a situation, you say slowly."

Bai Lin said with his mouth on his lips, but did not stop at his feet. The footsteps hurried in the direction of the company.

"That's right, the company commander has just taken over the road, and before he has time to build fortifications, a group of devils have rushed from the south side of the north-south road, and the number is about twenty people. It's on foot, and there's a motorbike trail. ”

The commander of the second platoon who was in charge of reporting the situation spoke quickly, which was also the reason why the commander of the first company sent him, and the commander of the second platoon of the entire first company was recognized as the person who could explain the most plain.

"The devil's pace is not slow, he came here so quickly. They should be the devils of Donggao, which is the closest to us. ”

It was just a rough sweep just now, and he remembered the situation of several villages near Nanzhang. The nearest village to the town is Donggao, and the number of devil soldiers there is exactly twenty devils and a motorcycle, so they must have rushed over immediately after noticing the situation here.

"The devils in Donggao must be sent away as soon as possible, and then the bridge must be blown up! Otherwise, if the devils from the villages east of Donggao come over one after another, it will be troublesome! ”

In the process of hurrying, Bai Lin had already decided on a plan, that is, to blow up the bridge!

"Battalion commander, are we going to blow up the small stone bridge?"

The second platoon commander said with some uncertainty. There is a river in the east of Nanzhang Town, which runs through the north and south, and the road in Nanzhang is built according to the river. And the small stone bridge in the mouth of the second row of long mouths is also the stone bridge erected on this river.

There are many stone bridges in Hebei, and the most famous should be the Zhaozhou Bridge on the Hu River, and the Zhaozhou Bridge is also called the "Big Stone Bridge". This one in Nanzhang is called "Little Stone Bridge", and the locals simply spread the rumor that this bridge was built by Li Chun's apprentice.

In the eyes of the locals, this bridge is of great significance, even if the 424th Regiment has only been here for a few months, they have already heard of it, and now Bai Lin said that he wants to blow up this bridge, no wonder the second platoon commander is a little hesitant.

Bai Lin didn't hear the second platoon leader's voice at all, because they had already come to the position.

"How's it going?"

Bai Lin came to the highway bayonet, where the battle was almost over. A company pulled all the barricades to the middle of the road, and exchanged fire with the devils behind the sandbags. How could something happen with several times the enemy's strength?

The devils who rushed from Donggao saw that the impact on the road could not succeed, and retreated after killing six or seven devils.

"Battalion commander, don't worry! With us here, we absolutely guarantee that the road is foolproof! ”

Looking at the confident company commander, Bai Lin nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done! Hurry up, there's not much time......"

"Company commander, I found the devil's truck on the north side of the road, there are two in total!"

"What?!"

Bai Lin didn't expect that as soon as he was halfway through his words, a soldier rushed over to report to the company commander that there were another devil attackers. And this time the enemy came in trucks from the north side of the road.

"Little devil, is this a fire? The speed of this south and north is really not slow! You must use the fastest speed to defeat this first wave of devils! Otherwise, the devils will accumulate more and more in the future! ”

Bai Lin gritted his teeth and said, and at the same time, he mobilized the three companies in the town to immediately outflank him from behind the devil. With the tacit cooperation of the first and third companies, the devils of these two trucks were reimbursed in this way.

This battle of annihilation on the road was carried out neatly, and even the Japanese army, known for its tenacity, only lasted less than forty minutes under the all-out attack of Bai Lin.

The battle ended, but this time Bai Lin did not let the soldiers clean up the battlefield in the first place.

"Leave it alone, destroy the highway and build fortifications as fast as possible! Three companies, take two platoons and go with me to blow up the bridge! ”

"Battalion commander, you really want to blow up the bridge?!"

Zhang Chi, who had been staying by Bai Lin's side, also said in disbelief.

"Battalion commander, crush people to death under the root of your tongue. If we blow up the bridge today, even if we defeat the devils, the local people may not thank us. In the eyes of the locals, this bridge is a symbol of feng shui fortune! ”

What Zhang Chi said is actually an old saying, in the eyes of some traditional and conservative people, there are some things that outsiders are not allowed to touch, let alone such a bridge with some history?

The Eighth Route Army was poor, and if it did not have the support of the people, it would become a tree without roots, and it would not be possible to last long. Therefore, it is necessary to unswervingly unite all the forces that can be united, and to put it mildly, this is the integration of resources.

Since it is necessary to integrate resources, it is necessary to make certain concessions and considerable respect. That's why Zhang Chi is so hesitant in front of the choice of blowing up the bridge. In his opinion, once the bridge is blown up, no matter what the result is, it will be condemned by the spit stars in the future, which has been the normal feeling of people since ancient times.

Bai Lin understood Zhang Chi's thoughts and kindness, but in the end he just laughed.

"Heh, I've heard the head of the regiment say that. If you don't have a life, how can you get a name after you? In the future, even if there are a bunch of good things waiting for you, you have to listen to them! I don't care what I say in the future, I just want the things in front of me to be done well! Needless to say! Let's go! ”

Bai Lin's courage shocked Zhang Chi at that time, and then shook his head, feeling that his own realm was still inferior to the other party. But soon he didn't think much about it anymore and quickly followed.
