At the same time, outside Jiugong Mountain, the Japanese army was stationed.

"Report to the general, this is the report of the Imperial Allied Army that I just received!" The attendant handed a folder to Major General Takayuki Uchida. Takayuki Uchida took the folder and quickly flipped through it. When Uchida Takayuki saw the loss figures written on the document, his brows immediately furrowed, and he asked, "Have you verified the troop loss figures they reported?!" ”

The squire replied, "It has been verified." No problem! ”

"Yaga!" Uchida Takayuki scolded lightly and said, "These people are too incompetent. Two divisions can't deal with a regiment of the New Fourth Army! ”

The attendant said: "Your Excellency, although the Imperial Cooperative Army is obviously our people, I feel that they are unreliable. And I heard that when the Imperial Allied Army entered the mountain, there were a lot of slogans left at the entrance of the New Fourth Army entering the mountain. As he spoke, the attendant took out a sign from his pocket and handed it to Takayuki Uchida.

"Chinese don't fight Chinese!" Takayuki Uchida took the slogan and read it out loud while reading it, and then roared angrily: "Yaga! Then he tore the slogan to shreds.

"Your Excellency, General!" As soon as Takayuki Uchida calmed down, Vice-Minister of Intelligence Hayashijiro Takayama came over with the telegram he had just received and handed it to Takayuki Uchida. Takayuki Uchida took the telegram and quickly read the contents of the telegram, and a strange smile appeared on his face, which looked particularly terrifying under the moonlight. After seven or eight minutes, Takayuki Uchida said to his attendants: "Pass my order and let the 215th Wing and the 103rd Wing each send six squad-level overseers to the Imperial Army. At dawn tomorrow, let the Imperial Association Army in the mountains launch a comprehensive sweep of Jiugong Mountain. If there is a retreat or a violation of the yang, let the overseer team kill on the spot! ”

"Hey!" The squire answered and walked away quickly.

After the attendant left, Takayuki Uchida then asked, "Is there any information on the nearby Kuomintang, Kuomintang, and Kuomintang?!" ”

Takayama Hayashijiro replied, "Our intelligence agents lurking inside the Kuomintang and the Party have sent back news that they are currently not taking any new action. It seems that they are more than willing to see us destroy the New Fourth Army. ”

"Nani?!" Uchida's brow furrowed tightly. After a little silence, Uchida Takayuki immediately figured out the reason, his frowning brows suddenly loosened, and he said with a smile: "You go down first!" If there is any movement in the army around Jiugong Mountain, report it to me immediately. ”

"Hey!" Takayama Hayashijiro replied and said, "Retire from your humble position!" ”

At the same time, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was stationed.

"Report!"

"Come in!" Xiang Ying saw the confidential officer walking in from outside and asked with a smile, "Xiaoying, is there anything wrong with this late hour?!" ”

Xiaoying opened the telegram folder, took out the telegram from it and handed it to Xiang Ying, and said, "Political commissar, this is an urgent telegram from Comrade Zhao Hannian just now!" ”

Xiang Ying took the telegram and read it. After about three or four minutes, Xiang Ying finished reading the contents of the telegram and said, "Xiaoying, you go down first!" ”

"Yes!" Xiaoying answered, turned around and walked out of the room.

When the door closed, Xiang Ying silently lit a cigarette, and while smoking, he muttered in his heart: "Is this a coincidence or do they not want to hand over the weapons and ammunition in the arsenal of Jiugongshan?!" Thinking about it, Xiang Ying opened the notepad on the table and looked at it.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Just when Xiang Ying was a little fascinated by reading the notepad, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Ying came back to his senses and shouted, "Come in!" ”

"Commissar!" Staff officer Xiao Xu pushed the door and walked into Xiang Ying's room.

"Xiao Xu?!" Xiang Ying snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this late hour?!" ”

Xiao Xu said: "Political commissar, this is the situation you asked me to sort out the activities of the Japanese puppet army around Wuning during this time. ”

Xiang Ying took the folder in Xiao Xu's hand, and asked while opening the folder: "The Japanese army is conducting a winter sweep there, how is the situation there now?!" ”

Xiao Xu said: "The independent regiment has completed the first phase of the purpose and introduced the large force of the Japanese puppet army to Jiugong Mountain. But according to the intelligence obtained in the past few days. The Japanese army was introduced into Jiugong Mountain by the independent regiment because of the sweeping troops, and all new adjustments were made. A number of troops were redeployed from elsewhere to form a temporary mobile wing. Prepare to launch a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the base areas of the independent regiment. ”

Xiang Ying didn't look at the materials in the folder and asked, "Do we have any other troops around Wuning?!" ”

Xiao Xu said: "The new regiment is now in the base area of the independent regiment. Saying that, Xiao Xu briefly talked about how the new regiment came to the independent regiment base area. After listening to Xiao Xu's narration, Xiang Ying shouted at the door: "Someone! ”

The guard walked in and asked, "What's the matter with the commissar?!" ”

Xiang Ying said: "Immediately send a telegram to the new regiment, and let them cooperate with the independent regiment to smash this sweep of the Japanese army." At the same time, he sent a telegram to Comrade Zhao Hannian, asking him to stay there for the time being, cooperate with the comrades of the independent regiment, and do a good job in the work of the common people in the base area. ”

"Yes!" After the guard handed the recorded message to Xiang Ying for signature, he ran out of Xiang Ying's room with the telegram. ……

Because night combat is not the strong point of the devils and the puppet army, both the devils and the puppet army stopped their actions at night. After dinner, Hong Yu, who had nothing to do, sent all the scouts out. At about 10 o'clock in the evening, the investigators returned to the station one after another. Tang Xingshang sorted out the information from the reconnaissance and sent it to Hong Yu.

Hong Yu finished reading the investigation report and called Tang Xingshang to his side. Tang Xingshang asked, "Commander, what are you looking for me?!" ”

Hong Yu asked, "What do you think of the contents of the investigation report?!" ”

Tang Xingshang said: "Regiment leader, I was just thinking about why the devil moved at night. This doesn't make sense! ”

Hong Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes! If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! The little devils are mobilized at night, and there are not many troops mobilized, what is their purpose?! ”

Tang Xingshang said: "Regiment commander, we are fighting with the puppet army during the day. I found that there are many people in the puppet army who are unwilling to fight us. Could it be that the little devils are worried that the puppet army will turn back, so they send troops over to supervise them?! ”

Hong Yu thought for a while and said, "There is a possibility. But we can't help but prevent the little devils from coming up with other moths. Saying that, Hong Yu asked, "Is there any news from the political commissar?!" ”

Tang Xingshang shook his head and replied, "Not yet!" ”

Hong Yu said: "I'm not worried about anything else now, I'm worried about the base area." ”

"Commander, don't worry about the base area!" Tang Xingshang comforted: "Although our large army is trapped in this Jiugong Mountain by devils, don't forget, there are still teaching battalions and militias from various villages and villages in the base area, as well as a new regiment that has recovered some vitality. If the devils want to take advantage of the political commissar, I don't think their deeds are enough. And hone and hone! ”

Hong Yu glanced at Tang Xingshang angrily and said, "Go and ask about the situation of the first battalion, the second battalion and the female soldier company." ”

"Yes!" Tang Xingshang responded with a smile and left quickly.

At the same time, Gao Ming took the second battalion to the periphery of Jiugong Mountain. Look at the devils sitting around the campfire on the highway. Gao Ming's brows furrowed inadvertently. Chen Kefeng, an instructor lying next to Gao Ming, said: "Battalion commander, the devils have blocked the roads. I'm afraid it's not easy for us to get through here. ”

Gao Ming put down the binoculars and asked, "Lao Chen, let's fight the devils on the highway." How do you think they'll react?! ”

Chen Kefeng said: "They will definitely think that we are preparing to break out, and then mobilize troops to intercept us." There's also the possibility that they don't take us seriously at all, create an illusion, and then let us burrow into their trap ourselves. ”

Gao Ming smiled and said, "Don't think too smart about devils. We're going to attack the devils on the road, and they're bound to be the same as your first thought. As he spoke, Gao Ming raised his binoculars again to look at the devils on the road, and said, "But I didn't think about going out of the mountain at all." So I commanded the use of this method to consume the living power of the devils. ”

Chen Kefeng asked, "Battalion commander, how are you going to fight?!" ”

Gao Ming said: "Concentrate mortars, grenadiers, light machine guns, and sharpshooters. Concentrate your fire on the devils on the road. When the devil's reinforcements came, we withdrew into the mountains. ”

Chen Kefeng then asked, "What if the devil's reinforcements don't come?!" ”

Gao Ming said: "If you don't come, that's the best!" We can clean up the battlefield, retreat to the mountains with the loot, and then find the devils elsewhere. ”

Chen Kefeng said with a smile: "Battalion commander, no wonder the regiment commander said that you are scheming. I didn't think you still had this hand! ”

Gao Ming said: "I also learned this from the regiment commander. After a long time, you won't learn. Saying that, Gao Ming said to the correspondent on the side: "Convey my order immediately." Ten minutes later, mortars, grenadiers, light machine guns, and sharpshooters were all in place. ”

"Yes!" The correspondent answered and walked away quickly.

Soon the artillery company and the grenadiers of each squad came to Gao Ming's side, and quickly established a position according to Gao Ming's order.

Chen Kefeng said: "Battalion commander, comrades are ready to attack the devils on the road at any time. ”

Gao Ming put down the binoculars and said coldly: "Fight!" ”

"Boom ......", "Boom ......", "Boom ......", "Bang ......"

With Gao Ming's order, mortars, grenadiers, light machine guns, and rifles played merrily like a symphony. The Japanese troops on the road were taken by surprise by the sudden barrage of bullets and shells. There was no chance to react at all, and in just a few minutes, the highway was full of mutilated corpses of devils.

"Report to Your Excellency Osa, the Miyazaki Brigade defending the road has been attacked by the Zhimen! Heavy losses in the troops! ”
