After almost a day of covert marching, the troops finally reached the area of Hebei on the evening of quotation marks. Regardless of the fatigue of the long march, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company immediately put on civilian clothes and went to the vicinity of the nearby Hebei Township to conduct reconnaissance. Since it was already night, the results of the investigation near Hebei Township were very good, and no ordinary people found the Anti-Japanese Federation in Hebei.

"Order the battalions to build positions on both sides of the hill. The 4th Battalion sent a company to guard Hebei Township. Before the battle began, it was forbidden for the common people in the township to enter and exit casually, in case they came out so that the Japanese army could discover and sabotage our ambush plan, and especially pay attention to a small landlord in the township, according to the intelligence of the scouts, this small landlord is the puppet Manchurian township chief sealed by the Japanese army, and also set up a security team, and we will clean them up after the devil is over? ”

The next day, after dawn, the villagers of Hebei Township got up together. I found that there were a lot of soldiers in the township, could it be that the little devil came again, no, the little devil because there are too many ravines and ravines here, and the road is difficult to walk, usually the forest army or the public security brigade has come here to collect taxes, why did the Japanese army suddenly appear again, does the little devil want to arrest laborers, although everyone is in the deep mountains and old forests, but every month there will be some vendors selling needles and threads in the township to get the news from their mouths outside the mountain, when everyone is puzzled, these soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms gave them a reasonThe troops are going to fight here for the next two days, so for two days, the villagers are forbidden to light fires for cooking and go in and out, and it is best to stay at home. The troops were provided with a certain amount of dry rations.

Although not being allowed to go out makes many people feel dissatisfied. However, thinking that the Japanese army did not loot the village, and thinking of the dry rations distributed by the troops in the past two days, they were all happy to stay at home. Only the township chief wanted to resist and let the security team fight back, but in a short time, it was solved by the soldiers, and even the food at home was not saved.

Some villagers saw that the army suppressed the puppet Manchu township chief in the village, and soon the news spread, and the villagers were wondering if it was the little devil who saw that the township chief was not good enough to solve him? Seeing that these warriors spoke in a very kind tone to the people, soon the bold villagers took the initiative to come and talk to the warriors. Knowing that these troops were not Japanese troops but the troops of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation to fight the little devils, and wanted to ambush the Japanese army here, the villagers were so happy that they told each other, and lent their home tools to the soldiers to dig trenches, and even some ordinary people came to the site of the anti-United Nations ambush and jumped directly into the ditch to help the soldiers dig, and some ordinary people took out the few grains at home and sent them to the Anti-Japanese Federation, and some sent eggs, fruits, and water.

Zhou Yuewu accompanied Zhao Shangzhi, Dai Hongbin, chief of staff of Qi Zhizhong's direct headquarters, Yu Baohe, captain of the telecommunications team, and Li Zaide, instructor of the teaching team, personally inspected the positions and revised the unqualified positions one by one. By the time the troops had lunch, all positions were qualified, and now they were waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Zhou Yuewu, who returned to the temporary headquarters in the township, said to Zhao Shangzhi: "Commander Zhao originally wanted to send someone to take you to our headquarters immediately, but I didn't expect the little devil to suddenly send an army to encircle and suppress, so I can only delay, and when this battle is over, I will immediately send someone to lead you to meet our army commander." ”

"It's okay, Comrade Yue Wu is important to fight, I've been waiting for a year, it's not bad for such a short time, and besides, I haven't fought a little devil this year, and my hands are itching." Zhao Shangzhi said with a smile.

After an overnight ambush. Many soldiers' clothes were wet, fortunately, the next day was a sunny day, the warm sun shone on the body, driving away the chill of the night, the regiment commander Zhou Yuewu couldn't help but sneez, stretched, came to the table made of bullet boxes, looked at the map, hoping to find some loopholes that still exist in some troops, because in the fortress is the commander-in-chief said that as a commander and fighter, you must be cautious to improve the battle plan, and any loophole in your plan will cause a large number of casualties among soldiers, At the same time, he also went to find Commander Zhao and Dai Hongbin and others to learn from experience, there is an old saying that a good threesome, there must be my division, Commander Zhao, these old comrades must have more combat experience than him, in the past few days Zhou Yuewu always asked them some questions that he did not know in the military, in the past he thought that the difficult problems were solved by Commander Zhao and others one by one, so that his hut was wide open, such as Daigo empowerment.

The captain of the Japanese garrison, Taro Higashino, was happily eating breakfast and drinking sake, because he knew that his meritorious opportunity had arrived, and after the accurate investigation of the scouts, there was really a force of resistance in Luobei in the territory of the anti-Japanese army, he had studied at the Japanese Army Academy and was very enthusiastic, and he liked the breath of war very much, but in addition to just graduating and fighting a few battles, he was sent to the garrison in Luobei County as the garrison captain after he was sent to the garrison in Luobei County as a garrison captain, this place is sparsely populated, the roads are impassable, and there are ravines and ravines everywhere, If it weren't for the Hegang Coal Mine, the Japanese Kwantung Army would not have taken a fancy to this place.

While wanting to see how Ren would search for money in the future, Higashino drank sake, and soon, a bottle of sake bottomed out. After looking at the time, it was finally time for the troops to leave, so he sorted out his clothes and walked towards the stationing of the brigade, followed by his own ground orderlies.

He came to the camp and immediately let Kojima-kun, who was about to set off, stay behind and he led two squads of Japanese troops, two battalions of the security regiment, forest police, etc. More than 1,000 people, the troops have been completed under the command of their respective squad leaders, and they are waiting for their own orders to set off, looking at the more than 1,000 people in front of him lined up in a neat phalanx, mortars, and heavy machine guns are all mounted on mule horses, at this time Higashino is full of confidence in his future, and he will definitely be able to eliminate this group of anti-Japanese alliances hiding in the mountains and then be rewarded for meritorious service, Go to the flower world of Kannai to see it.

"Go" Higashino mounted his horse and shouted to the team in front of him, and soon, the two battalions of the security regiment left first, followed by the soldiers of the forest police, followed by a squadron of infantry of the Japanese army, the ammunition, supplies, and heavy weapons of the troops were in the middle, and finally followed by the soldiers of a small team, and the soldiers of another squad were on guard as the rearguard, the standard formation of the Japanese army on the march.

Dongye rode a war horse, happily thinking about his destination, because Dongye eagerly pursued the anti-union troops hiding in the mountains, afraid that the anti-union would run away again for a while, and could not let the cooked duck fly past his ears, so the marching speed of the troops was very fast, Dongye rode on the war horse, enjoying the scenery on the side of the road, and kept asking the guide around him if there was a village near this where he could take a break, soon, three hours passed, looking at the soldiers below obviously slowed down the pace, Dongye, who was in a good mood, did not get angry, Instead, he generously asked the soldiers to stop and rest for an old minute to continue their journey, and told the soldiers that there was a village not far in front of them that could relieve the boredom in their hearts, which was enthusiastically supported by the soldiers. It made Higashino's comfortable mood even happier.
