Listening to Xu Qianhong's introduction, Nie Dadong looked at him and said, "Captain Xu, you are more familiar with the situation here than me, just do as you say." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

According to the organizational decision, they passed through the devil's defense area, and the local comrades were responsible for determining the route and other arrangements, and Nie Dadong naturally followed Xu Qianhong's decision.

Liu Tianshu heard Xu Qianhong say that the interval between the patrols of the devils was ten minutes, and from the east side of the railway to the west side, a team of more than 100 people, plus the guerrillas, was almost 200 people.

That way, it's at least thirty minutes or more.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianshu began to worry in his heart.

"Captain Xu, it's still ten hours before dark, otherwise, find someone to lead the way, and I'll go to the front to take a look at the field." Liu Tianshu looked at Xu Qianhong and said.

"You're going to the railroad?" Xu Qianhong's inquiring eyes looked at Nie Dadong.

Seeing that Nie Dadong and Ye Xiaowei both seemed to have this meaning, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany Head Liu." ”

The 14 people who crossed the railway this time were all cadres at or above the regimental level who went to Yan'an to study, and Xu Qianhong did not dare to be careless.

Liu Tianshu took Shi Jian and pretended to be a common man, followed Xu Qianhong and left Shenzhuang, all the way to the vicinity of the railway.

On the hill on the side of Liujiahe, Liu Tianshu and Xu Qianhong were lying on the mountain, and Shi Qiang was in charge of guarding.

Following Xu Qianhong's fingers, Liu Tianshu used a telescope to observe the railway below the mountain.

The Pinghan Railway stretches from the mountains and forests to the north, crosses the small river on the side of Liujiahe Village, and slowly extends south around a small mountain. The hill was covered with dense woods, and to the west of the hill was a faint rolling hill.

From this side, you can see that all the trees on both sides of the railway have been cut down in an area of several hundred meters, and next to the railway track to the east is a newly built road, and on the east side of the road, there is a deep ditch up to ten meters wide.

According to Xu Qianhong, this deep ditch is about four meters deep, and some places have some water. It's just that the wall of this ditch is very steep, and it is a little difficult for people to cross it.

There is also an avenue on the west side of the railway, and one side of the avenue is still a deep ditch dug, but on the opposite side of the hill, because of the terrain, there is no deep ditch, and the avenue passes at the foot of the opposite hill.

The Liujiahe stronghold is located two miles north of Xiaohe, where thirteen devils and twenty puppet soldiers are stationed, and to the south of this section of the railway, there is the Liba stronghold, which is also stationed thirteen devils and twenty puppet soldiers.

At the same time, the Liujiatun stronghold, which is less than 20 miles away from here, has a small squad of Japanese troops stationed.

While listening to Xu Qianhong's introduction and carefully observing the surrounding terrain, Liu Tianshu calculated in his heart the time and troops that came to stop him once the devil found that someone had crossed the railway.

However, with Xu Qianhong's detailed introduction, Liu Tianshu's brows became more and more wrinkled.

It turned out that there was not only the Liujiatun stronghold around here, but also the Gongjiaji stronghold on the west side of the railway, which was a large stronghold, with more than 100 devils and more than 100 puppet troops.

Of course, these are not the main thing, what worries Liu Tianshu is that once their actions are discovered by the devils, the surrounding devils will definitely come and carry out bloody encirclement and interception of their troops.

At this time, Liu Tianshu didn't know that not long after they left the Fuyang Division, a piece of information was sent to the case of Tada Jun, the commander of the North China Front.

After all, the devil's sense of smell is still quite smart, and after the Fuchang County devil intelligence agency learned that Liu Tianshu suddenly left Fuya Mountain, they immediately sent the situation to Watanabe Watana, the commander of the Jinan Military Police.

Perhaps because the Sakai Brigade suffered a lot of losses in front of Liu Tianshu, Watanabe Wataru attached great importance to the situation about Liu Tianshu, and when he saw that Liu Tianshu had suddenly left Fuya Mountain, he immediately linked the disappearance of the staff officer Fujimoto of the 41st Division. He had a hunch that this Fujimoto staff officer disappeared near the Jianban stronghold, which should be related to Liu Tianshu.

Because the report sent by the 41st Division has clearly stated that dozens of Eighth Route Corps have crossed the road, and there are also Imperial Cooperative troops who accompanied Fujimoto to go out to sweep the army.

Liu Tianshu left Fuya Mountain and went to the division headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, there were too many things in this information, and he immediately asked people to investigate this matter.

He didn't expect that there would be military cadres from all the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong going to the division headquarters, and this group of military cadres would leave Fuyang and go to Taihang Mountain.

Its final destination turned out to be Yan'an.

It seems that the Communist Party is going to intensively study and improve this group of cadres.

After all, the head of the army went to Taihang Mountain to study, and many people in the army knew that it was not difficult for the devil to get this news.

Of course, the specific time of the operation, the devil's intelligence officers did not get it.

However, Watanabe Watanabe promptly reported this major action of the Eighth Route Army to the intelligence organs of the North China Front.

Lieutenant General Tada Jun received the report and immediately asked the Japanese troops along the Pinghan Railway to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time sent a large number of intelligence officers to rush to the Pinghan line.

After receiving the order to rush to the Pinghan Railway with a capable squad and command the Japanese army to round up these generals of the Eighth Route Army, Moriki Kato was immediately excited.

Last time in Jinlan Village, Fuya Mountain, he led a team to attack Liu Tianshu's regimental headquarters, although it was later confirmed that Liu Tianshu was seriously injured, but his squad suffered heavy losses, basically the whole army was wiped out, which made him in addition to a lot of scolding, but also regarded as a lifelong shame.

Now that he has received information, Liu Tianshu is also among the generals of the Eighth Route Army who went to Taihang Mountain to study, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he suddenly feels that Amaterasu takes special care of him.

After arriving in Shijiazhuang, he began to carefully study the information sent from various places, and a piece of information that happened in Yuniu Mountain caught his attention.

According to this information, there was some friction between the Eighth Route Army and the 27th Regiment of the 19th Army of the Central Army stationed in Yuniushan, and Tang Guo, the commander of the 27th Regiment, detained a medical team of the Eighth Route Army.

However, three days ago, the medical team was led back by an Eighth Route Army named Liu Tianshu.

The head of the Qinghe Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is named Cao Yongjian, and Liu Tianshu appeared in the territory of Qinghe, so what does it mean, it shows that the small team of the Eighth Route Army returning to Taihang Mountain is preparing to cross the Pinghan Railway through the Qinghe.

With this valuable piece of information, Moriki Kato immediately set his sights on the Pinghan Railway line west of the Qinghe River, and at the same time dispatched a large number of intelligence officers to monitor the villages along the line.

After all, there were more than 100 people in the Eighth Route Army crossing the border, and such a large number of people entering and leaving the village would never leave any traces.

Moriki Kato was the commander assigned by the North China Front Command to command the siege operation, and he was authorized to command the Japanese forces in the southwestern Hebei region if necessary.

As a result, plainclothes detective teams from all counties were dispatched, and at the same time, patrols of the railways in this area were intensified.

What Xu Qianhong didn't know was that after Moriki Kato arrived in Shijiazhuang, he began to send people to lurk in the mountains and forests on both sides of the railway to monitor.

Liu Tianshu was holding up the binoculars and saw that he was in a trance, and Shi Qiang quietly touched it.

"Commander, there is a situation." Shi Qiang said in a low voice.

Liu Tianshu quickly put away the telescope when he heard the sound and took out the pistol.

Xu Qianhong saw that Liu Tianshu's movements were extremely skillful, and couldn't help but look at the two.

"Commander, there's someone lurking on the other side of the mountain." Shi Qiang lowered his voice and raised his hand to point to the side of the mountain.

"Let's go, let's see." Knowing that there was someone hiding in the mountain forest on the side of the mountain, Liu Tianshu felt nervous.

The three of them carefully and quickly climbed under a tree, Shi Qiang pushed away the grass in front of him, Liu Tianshu and Xu Qianhong suddenly found that under an old tree below, there were two people dressed as ordinary people, who were lying there to observe, and beside them, there was a back basket with some grass.

"Captain Xu, are they your people?" As soon as Liu Tianshu saw the two people dressed up, he looked at Xu Qianhong.

Xu Qianhong observed for a moment and shook his head: "No, but, looking at their appearance, they shouldn't be ordinary people." ”

Liu Tianshu frowned and said to Shi Qiang: "Qiangzi, go and see if there are any of their accomplices in this wood?" ”

The appearance of these two people in the mountains and forests was not a good omen, and Liu Tianshu hesitated to arrest these two and ask.

After Shi Qiang left, he lay there and thought about it, and finally rejected the idea of arresting these two people.

If these two people appeared to deal with their own party, then arresting these two guys would definitely startle the snake and expose themselves at the same time.

After half an hour, Shi Qiang came back quietly and made two moves to Liu Tianshu, Liu Tianshu saw that he was sure that there was no other person lurking around, so he was a little relieved, and said Let's go back, and the three of them quietly left the mountain forest.

On the way back, Xu Qianhong looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "Captain Liu, what do you think those two guys are doing?" ”

"Captain Xu, I have a hunch that we are going to cross the Pinghan Line, I'm afraid the devils already know, but judging from the fact that there are people lurking in the mountains and forests, the devils should not be able to determine our specific location, and they can't determine our course of action. It's just that judging from the two people who appeared in the mountains and forests, the commander of the devil should be very smart and know that Liujiahe is the best location for the Pinghan Railway. Liu Tianshu thought about it carefully and said.

Judging from the reconnaissance, the devil's protection of the railway line has been strengthened, and perhaps the devil has already laid out his pockets in front, and it seems that this matter has to be discussed carefully.

"What? The devil has set up a lurking post in the mountains and forests next to the railway? When Nie Dadong heard Liu Tianshu's narration, he couldn't help but change his face.

"Yes, captain, I think the devil should be aware of the fact that we are going to cross the Pinghan Railway, and I suggest that this matter be reported to the division headquarters immediately, and at the same time ask for instructions on the next move." The detachment brought a radio station and could contact the division headquarters at any time.

Nie Dadong exchanged a look with Ye Xiaowei, and finally asked the operator to start the radio and report the situation encountered by the squad to the division headquarters. (To be continued.) )
