"Damn, the little devil's speed is really fast enough, it's only been a few days, and I'm ready to retaliate." Looking at the information in his hand, Political Commissar Chen Revolution said depressedly.

"Commissar, don't talk about it, it's time to come sooner or later. This is just a few days earlier than we estimated. Chief of Staff, record orders. The commanders of the two regiments were telegraphed to immediately inform the village names of each village to retreat and clear the wilderness. The main forces immediately began to assemble and were ready for battle at any time. Wang Nanhu looked at the map and calmly ordered, without feeling a little panicked by the arrival of the army.

"Yes, brigade commander," Wang Nanhu finished signing, and the chief of staff walked towards the telegraph room with the message.

"Fellow, fellow, open the door," a soldier knocked on the door of a farmhouse.

"Who, what's the matter, so anxious" came the voice of a middle-aged woman from the courtyard.

The gate of the "baring teeth" courtyard was opened, and I saw a soldier of the Eighth Route Army standing at the door of his house.

"Ah, it turned out to be a comrade of the Eighth Route Army! Why didn't you say it earlier. Come, comrade, come in and sit, it's hot outside, come in and have a cup of tea. Seeing that outside the door was the Eighth Route Army, which had just given herself a field, the middle-aged woman immediately greeted warmly.

"No, fellow, we still have a task. Do you remember the other day when the troops called on everyone to prepare for the transfer? Just now the brigade headquarters gave an order, the devil is about to sweep the base area, I am here to inform you, hurry up and pack up your things at home, and prepare to follow the group to transfer" Seeing the enthusiastic fellow, the soldier embarrassedly refused.

"That's right! Comrade, I'm sorry for you, I'm going to pack my things. The boy and his father, ready to pack up things, the devil is coming, let's follow the comrades of the Eighth Route Army to transfer" As soon as the soldier turned around, there was a sound of cleaning things in the courtyard.

"Fellow, our headquarters ordered, take you to move immediately, the devils have begun to sweep," likewise, a soldier said to an old man who was picking up corn in the yard.

"Why do you want to transfer, don't you Eighth Route Army claim to be the people's team, specifically protecting us? Why, since the devil, you are like taking us out of your own home! I'm not leaving, there is still a lot of food at home, how can you let me transfer. The old man didn't even look back.

"Fellow, the devil is very cruel, if you don't transfer, let the little devil catch, it must be very uncomfortable How much food is there at home! I helped you earlier, and the purpose must be transferred immediately before the cabinet comes. Listening to the old man's words, the warrior said anxiously.

"I don't believe it, it turns out that when there were devils here, they didn't kill me. Still won't, I won't transfer," the old man replied stubbornly

In the end, the soldier had no choice but to report the situation to his superiors.

"Brigade commander, no, something is wrong" The chief of staff hurried into the headquarters with a telegram.

"Chief of Staff, what's wrong?"

"Brigade commander, political commissar, just now the two regiment commanders sent a telegram, and some ordinary people still don't trust us very much and refuse to transfer." The chief of staff replied.

"What, when is it, I still refuse to transfer, order the two regiment commanders, enforce it." After listening to the chief of staff's words, Wang Nanhu said angrily.

"No! The brigade commander, the two regiment commanders said that they had tried, and those ordinary people even held various weapons such as farm tools and resolutely refused to transfer. The chief of staff continued.

"Damn, I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, if this is in the Jindong base area, it will definitely not be, political commissar, what do you think" Wang Nanhu turned his head to look at the political commissar next to him.

"Well, this is indeed a big problem, with the old people here, they will definitely ask the soldiers to retreat, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Besides, if these ordinary people are captured by the army, if the hiding place of the common people is exposed, then the masses will be very dangerous. The political commissar nodded in agreement with Wang Nanhu's view.

"Chief of staff, send a telegram to the two regiment commanders and ask them to move the masses as much as possible, they are really reluctant to leave, tell them that if the devil comes, let them hide. In the end, count the villagers who are unwilling to leave and hand it over to the brigade headquarters. Wang Nanhu made up his mind and said unbearably.

"Well, it can only be like this, I hope that the people who stay will not be discovered by the devils, otherwise, our losses this time will be very large" After listening to the brigade commander's decision, the political commissar nodded helplessly.

Soon, this order reached each company. After receiving the order, the soldiers did not say anything to the private elements, and tried to help the common people who were willing to retreat with the troops as much as possible. In less than a day, the dozens of villages controlled by the Second Brigade of Reading Force had all completed the clearing of the fortified walls. However, there are still quite a lot of private elements, and there are dozens of people in each village, and there are thousands of ordinary people in total.

"Political commissar, it seems that we can only try not to let the devil enter the village. Otherwise, once the devil enters the village, these thousands of ordinary people will suffer. Brigade Commander Wang Nanhu saw the number of people counted by the two regiments, shook his head, and said helplessly.

"Brigade commander, that's the only way to go, and we're doing our best." The commissar replied.

At this time, the army in Fuping County had already mobilized all the troops and materials to participate in the attack. Prepare to launch an attack on the [***] squadron in Xiazhuang Township on time the next morning, and eliminate the squadron [***] hiding in their own defense area in one fell swoop.

"Brigade commander, brigade commander, the devil has already left the city, and the vanguard is a reinforced squadron, equipped with 12 vehicles and a tank, which has driven out of the county and is heading straight for our brigade headquarters." The chief of staff ran into the command headquarters with a telegram that had just been received.

"Tank, I didn't expect the army to be equipped with tanks" Hearing the tank, Wang Nanhu fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Wang Nanhu's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something?

"Chief of Staff, did you say that all the vanguard troops of the Yue Army came by car?" Wang Nanhu asked.

"Yes, brigade commander, it belongs to the same type as the army that attacked the base area last time, it is a reinforced squadron of the army equipped with heavy weapons, and its combat effectiveness is very strong." The Chief of Staff replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, it's just a car, chief of staff, order: The reconnaissance company will assemble immediately, organize the masses along the march of the army, dig up the road, slow down the attack of the devils, I will make his mechanization not work at all. Also, the reconnaissance company was ordered to constantly harass the Japanese army along the way. The 5th and 6th regiments were ordered to assemble at the headquarters at once and be ready for battle at any time. After saying the order, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Nanhu's mouth.

Sure enough, less than two hours after the order was issued, the forward guard reinforcement squadron of the Japanese army, which had been unimpeded and helpless all the way, stopped.

"Baga, what's going on?" The squadron leader scolded Cao Chang of the vanguard team who came to report.

"Report to the captain, the road ahead has been dug up by the Chinese people. Our tanks simply can't move forward," Cao Chang replied in horror when he saw the squadron leader with an angry face on his face.

"Nani, the road has been dug up. Baga, despicable Chinan, I will make you have your corpses in pieces. The first team was ordered to immediately find a vantage point and stand by. The second squad is ready to fill in the deep ditch on the road and prepare for the smooth advance of the follow-up main force. All remaining troops are on standby. The squadron leader ordered after scolding the commander Cao in front of him.

"Hi" Hearing the order, several squad leaders around the squadron leader immediately split up and started to act.

Just as the second squad of the army picked up the sapper shovels and ran to the deep ditch to prepare for the operation, a neat sound of rifles came from the diagonal woods. The devil soldiers who couldn't reach it with shovels fell several at once.

"Baga, enemy attack, lie down, lie down," the squad leader quickly ordered, and at the same time the first one lay down on the ground. The soldier behind him immediately felt like he was electrocuted, and he lay on the ground neatly, motionless.

While the second squad was lying on the ground, the first squad on guard also opened fire. A squad of soldiers facing the grove, under the orders of his own Cao Chang. Immediately returned fire to the squadron in the woods, the only light machine gun shouted happily from the light machine gunners, and a dense rain of bullets sent the branches of the woods flying sideways.

Slowly, the two infantry squads next to him also came to reinforce under the leadership of the squad leader. The grenadiers that had already been erected also began to fire grenades." Several explosions rang out, and the gunfire on the opposite side slowly stopped.

"Quick, the first squad is outflanked on the left flank, the second squad is outflanked on the right flank, and the third squad is charging head-on, covered by grenadiers, and we must completely annihilate the soldiers in the woods." The squad leader listened to the gunfire coming from the woods opposite, and easily judged that there was no more than one platoon of soldiers in the woods. So he boldly commanded.

"Hi," the three Cao Chang immediately nodded and replied. Turning around, he led his soldiers under the cover of grenadiers, and slowly outflanked the woods. When he saw that his soldiers had entered the woods, the corners of the squad leader's mouth slowly showed a smile. However, at this moment, several deafening explosions suddenly sounded in the woods.

As the explosion sounded, three squads of soldiers walked out of the woods carrying several corpses and wailing soldiers.

"Baga, what's going on, what's going on." Looking at the three Cao Commanders who had been killed or injured by nearly half of the squad, the squad leader roared loudly, his face full of incredulity.

"Report to the squad leader, we have encountered a mine from the China. All of these fallen soldiers were in the hands of the mines of the China. The hateful people of China actually planted a large number of tricks on their way to escape," a Cao Chang replied with a frightened look at the squad leader with anger on his face.
