"Instructor, are the troops all assembled?" Looking at the slowly darkening sky outside, Xiong Changhe asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Except for the garrison battalion and the recruit company that remained behind, all the other troops have been assembled." The instructor was also full of anticipation for the next battle, and replied with a pair of eager eyes.

Then he did not forget to add: "The Hongcun stronghold we are going to attack is less than ten kilometers away from us, as long as we set off, we can kill it in two hours at most and launch an attack." Battalion commander, when are you going to go! ”

"Finish dinner and leave in two hours!" Xiong Changhe replied!

"The task given to us by the head of the regiment is to trap the devil in the stronghold, and then we will set off after playing a scene in front of the devil. I mean, acting is acting, and the attack on the stronghold cannot be stopped. ”

"Strive to take the stronghold before the devil reinforcements arrive!"

"Although the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold adds up to more than seven hundred people, nearly half of them are puppet troops, and the devils only have two infantry squadrons, half a heavy machine gun squadron, and half a mortar squadron, as long as we arrange it well, it is possible to take the stronghold!"

"So, when the troops set out, they must bring enough ammunition, especially shells for mortars and infantry guns!"

The front command of the Japanese army in the southwest of Jinxi, the lieutenant general commander was furious in the war room.

The new regiment of troops, which had transported a large amount of weapons, ammunition, medicines, and gold, seemed to him to be completely worthy of being fat, and could swallow it at any time if he wanted to.

However, after all, frontal search is a frontal battle, and compared with guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, it is a completely different mode of warfare.

In less than a day from the moment he learned that the new regiment was in his defense zone, the commander had common sense of the difference between frontal combat and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

"Your Excellency Commander, we only found the cart of the Eighth Route Army that had fallen off the cliff, and we did not find the weapons and equipment that they had transported and transported. Also, we searched all over the 10-kilometer radius, but there was still no news! The chief of staff reported in a whisper.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued: "The aviation also found nothing! ”

"All the roads within the surrounding 30 kilometers have been checked, and there is no sign of the activities of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Our blockades and checkpoints on the highway have not been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and we have not even seen them!"

The lieutenant commander frowned and scolded: "Impossible! Could it be that these Eighth Route Army are heavenly soldiers and generals, and they can't fly...... Keep looking for me, they must be hiding in this mountain! ”

"Don't forget, they don't have a cart to drag them down now, and it is possible to hide anywhere in the mountains!"

The chief of staff really wanted to persuade the commander to give up the idea of destroying these Eighth Route Army, after all, they were only transiting, and it was impossible to pose a threat to the front-line troops, and there was no need to waste so many manpower and material resources for hundreds of Eighth Route Army.

However, as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Looking at the commander's face full of anger, the chief of staff reacted suddenly.

The reason why the commander must find the new regiment and kill them is that in addition to the fact that these new regiments are the troops designated by the front army to be eliminated, in order to win this battle achievement, there is another very important reason: as a commander who commands tens of thousands of troops, he feels that he has been tricked by the Eighth Route Army of several hundred people. For the sake of his own face, in order to vent the anger he held in his stomach, he also wants to kill them.

Just as he was about to go and give the order, the unexpected happened.

A communications staff officer rushed into the war room in a hurry, and before the two commanders could speak, he reported: "Commander, a telegram from Major General Linfen Chuankou: They judge that the Eighth Route Army, which passed through our front blockade line last night, has entered Linfen territory, let us not continue to search!" ”

"Impossible, from the position where they abandoned the cart to Linfen, there is a distance of fifty or sixty attacks in between, could it be that they flew over! Also, throughout the day, our planes were cruising in the sky, and if they were on the way to Linfen, they would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the air force! ”

The chief of staff was much calmer, hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Commander, I think it's possible!" ”

"If these Eighth Route Army has already entered the territory of Linfen, or is about to enter the territory of Linfen, then it makes sense that we can't find any trace of them in this mountain!"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army, which lost its carts and dragged it down and used war horses to transport supplies, can completely ask for the highway and take the path ignored by the air force!"

"You know, the journey to Linfen by small road is at least ten kilometers shorter than by road!"

The lieutenant general's face was even more ugly, and he kept his face calm and did not speak.

He hesitated for several seconds before staring at the communications staff officer and asked, "What is the basis for Major General Kawaguchi's judgment?" ”

"The Hongcun stronghold where they blocked the defense line of the Eighth Route Army was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the firepower was very strong, with mortars and infantry artillery!"

"The Eighth Route Army, which passed through our defense line yesterday, must have entered their base from the Hongcun stronghold, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army that were attacking the stronghold came to respond!"

The chief of staff was even more sure that his run was broken, and replied with a firm face: "Your Excellency, commander, these cunning Eighth Route Army must have run from the side road while our attention was on the road and this mountain, what should we do next?" ”

"Eight Tooth Road!" The fat to the mouth really slipped away, and the lieutenant general's anger became even stronger, and he scolded as soon as he spoke.

Then he reluctantly ordered: "Linfen is not our defense area, even if we send people to Chuankou and not say anything, the front army will reprimand us." Moreover, this place is too far away from the Hongcun stronghold, and it is impossible to catch up with the battle if you send troops over now! ”

"Call back to Major General Kawaguchi immediately and ask him to destroy this Eighth Route Army unit!"

"As for us, immediately withdraw our troops, the troops must be very tired after a day and a night of searching, and immediately ghost their own defense area to rest. We can't delay the front line for the sake of a few hundred Eighth Route Army, so that our main enemy, the Jin Sui Army, has something to take advantage of! ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, Hong Ruijun, the commander of the guard company, asked Wang Ping again if he could act.

The radio next to it finally sounded the crisp sound of receiving and receiving telegrams.

Soon, the telegraph operator sent a telegram to Wang Ping, and it was only then that Wang Ping really solved the mystery of Hong Ruijun.

"The first battalion has begun to act, and ten minutes ago, it was the attack on the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army in Hongcun!"

Hong Ruijun was even more incomprehensible, and asked Wang Ping with a frown: "Regiment Commander, are we planning to return to the base area from Hongcun?" No, even from the Hongcun ghost base, we won't be able to catch up with Hongcun tonight, even if the first battalion is here to respond, we shouldn't attack now! ”

Suddenly, Hong Ruijun thought of the task of dragging a cart from another road last night to create a false impression for the Japanese army.

At this moment, Hong Ruijun finally showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I understand, Commander, you're making a noise!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "It's not appropriate to describe it with just the four words "sound east and west", and a golden cicada shell should be added......

"Yes, it's the golden cicada that has come out of its shell!" Hong Ruijun affirmed.

"Our cart was left over there, and with a battalion attacking Hongcun, the devils must think that we have arrived in Linfen and are preparing to enter the base area from Hongcun. But in fact, we are still in the hinterland of little devils. When all their eyes shifted to Hongcun, we directly returned to the base from other directions, and caught the little devils off guard! ”
