Chapter 1120 The latest situation

When the reconnaissance squad leader hurried over, Liu Manhe stood up and asked excitedly, "Where is the devil behind?"

The reconnaissance squad leader panted heavily, and did not forget to salute: "Report, most of the squadron has entered the village! One squad is chasing west."

Liu Manhe waved his fist: "Great, where is the devil from the squadron behind them now?"

"An hour ago, scouts reported that the second echelon of devils was in the north and was marching south. The distance between the two groups of devils was about twenty miles from north to south."

"We have to keep going, we can't let them merge together!" Liu Manhe muttered, and ordered to the soldiers lying on the mountainside: "Keep going west, and turn north after walking for twenty miles."

It is impossible to ambush the devils' advance team in broad daylight, and they are likely to be bombed by planes.

Still give full play to the strength of the Eighth Route Army in guerrilla warfare, and the enemy chases me and runs away.

Get rid of the devils at the back of the devil's advance team first, and then clean up the devil's advance team later!

everything seems to be going exactly to plan
"Report to the lieutenant, the soldiers of the warriors exchanged fire with the fleeing Tubalu troops, and the Tubalu fled to the west." After the messenger finished speaking, he stood quietly opposite the lieutenant.

No new orders were heard from the lieutenant.

It wasn't until the lieutenant's assistant next to the lieutenant waved his hand after a while that the orderly ran away immediately.

Lieutenant Okawa frowned. On the ground, Takahashi's writing on the ground was still clearly visible.

The assistant unfolded the map: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant, the Gangqi Brigade and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army are heading south. If we speed up, we should be able to stop them!"

Da Chuan withdrew his gaze: "Ba Ya, they actually infected Hu Lie La, it's really embarrassing to the soldiers of the empire."

The assistant hesitated: "They judged that the source of the bacteria is probably Second Lieutenant Takahashi"

Okawa was stunned for a moment: "This has something to do with Takahashi! By the way, there is no news about Takahashi yet?"

The assistant shook his head: "Not yet!"

Okawa began to look at the workshop, thinking carefully.

Since last year, the Eighth Route Special Service Regiment entered the plain in multiple routes, and many senior commanders of the Imperial Army were assassinated.

Some use conspiracy to despicably assassinate the elite of the Imperial Advancement Team.

It was not easy to find a few suspicious elements on the plain.

With the help of the extra-high class, he was behind the Eighth Road that entered the mountainous area.

When the national army surrendered, Takahashi disguised himself as a defeated national army and successfully broke into the Eight Route Army.

With Takahashi's prudence and his proficiency in Chinese, it is absolutely impossible for Eight Road to find out!

He also successfully caught the elite of the Eighth Route Special Agents Regiment!

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, the cunning opponent managed to escape from the encirclement of the army.

He also used the Imperial Association Army to fight an ambush, and then fled south.

Relying on the favorable terrain to block the attack on the mountain ridge, it will once again avoid the bombing and shooting of the aviation force.

Both failed to destroy them.

If such an opponent cannot be eliminated, sooner or later it will become a worry for the empire!
Of course he knew about Second Lieutenant Takahashi's bacteria. Gang Qi's brigade was hit by Hu Liela. It didn't matter what happened in between.
Tuba Road ran southward for fifty or sixty miles in one night, stayed overnight in this village, and then headed west again.

It was obvious that he was taking himself around in circles in this area!

What on earth does Tubalu want to do?
A sense of powerlessness arises spontaneously.

Turning his head and looking to the north for a long time, Da Chuan pointed to the west of the map, and spit out a few words through his teeth: "Send a report immediately, let Gang Qi's brigade move closer to our troops in the south, and they must be stopped in this area." !"

The assistant frowned and suggested: "Do you want to send a reconnaissance plane over?"

Da Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yes, I need to know the exact position of the main force of the Eight Routes at any time."

Isn't it just a Tuba Road that the squadron can't reach, can this also be called the main force?The assistant had black lines all over his face, and quickly replied, "I'll arrange it immediately!"

The courtyard door was wide open.

Sunlight slanted into the room from the window, spreading out half of the table.

Ding De sat at the table under the window where the sun was shining through the dark clouds, playing with a brand new tea mug with ice flowers in his hand.

Head Lu looked out the window and was in a good mood: "It's windy, and it's likely to rain these few days."

Seeing that there were finally signs of rain, Ding Deyi was still in a bad mood: "It's been a year of drought, and our food can't last the summer harvest at all."

"The higher-ups instructed that as the enemy-occupied area continues to expand, the enemy's troops in the enemy-occupied area will be empty, and all ministries should be broken up into pieces, quickly enter the enemy-occupied area to open up the situation, and at the same time take down some towns and county towns, and set fire to the backyard of the devils who went into the mountains to sweep "

"The Second Battalion went to the south, and the Ninth Battalion is also in Haoping to transfer the people. Wu Yan wants to fight against the mopping up and defend the headquarters. What do we use to enter the enemy-occupied area?"

"Looking at it from another angle, if the second battalion and the ninth battalion can really create another piece of heaven and earth, almost the entire southeast mountainous area of ​​Taihang is in our hands, and it will be connected with a sub-district on the plain."

The political commissar put down the tea mug in his hand, and frowned slightly: "Let him meet the friendly army. They are doing well now, and run directly to the friendly army's defense zone. If this news gets out, you and I will suffer."

"When did we care about the opinion of the Chongqing guy? Besides throwing stones at his own feet, what other tricks can he play?"

"Friendly troops surrendered to the enemy, our independent regiment's defense area used to be facing the enemy on one side, but now it has become facing the enemy on both sides, and the defensive pressure has greatly increased."

Head Lu continued to look at the map: "How is the situation on the plain?"

"You ask three times a day. Sun Youshang led the water conservation team into the mountain to sweep and rescued many soldiers. Pu Buhuan entered the county town pretending to be a wounded devil. Lao Meng was busy stuffing the guerrillas into the gun tower."

"Why do I feel that we are taking advantage of the devil's sweep this time?"

After the two battalions went out, they were raided by devils. It was useless to worry about it. Ding De saw how complacent Lu was, and deliberately poured cold water on him: "Don't be so cheap and good-looking. Your marriage report was approved by your superiors, but it's a pity that Mr. Song changed his mind and died." I don't agree, let me see where you put your face."

"Can we not talk about this for now?" Commander Lu was in a bad mood immediately: "The enemy has surrounded the division headquarters."

"The division has already moved ahead of schedule."

"It is estimated that the little devil will make a big fuss in the newspaper again. The Chongqing devil is probably very happy to get a reputation for free publicity. We will benefit from it. Let's talk about the focus of the next step."

"The only thing we can move now is the Ninth Battalion on the plain who stayed behind Chen Chong's troops."

"I always feel that the bigger we develop, the more and more people are not enough?"

The political commissar glanced at the map: "The situation in the eastern plain has been opened, and the hills that the Second Battalion robbed in the south can also play a role. If the Ninth Battalion can draw some people to develop south."

"More than 60 spies were investigated in the Nine Camp base area, and the devils began to follow the mustache to set up concentration camps. These problems are not easy to solve."

"Yeah, the situation may not be as optimistic as expected."

Xiao Jia ran to the door and stood at attention: "Report to the political commissar, the political work officer asked you to come over."

The political commissar put down the tea mug and went out, crossed the suspension bridge, and walked into the office of the political and industrial department of the former enemy's battalion department.

The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze from the map on the table, and cut straight to the point: "The chief executive is planning to go to the plains for research. We are making plans. Your independent group is familiar with the situation in the plains. I want to hear your opinions."

Ding Deyi sat opposite the middle-aged man, looking at the map: "That... from the foot of the mountain to the second blockade line, they are all our people."

"I know this, let you come here, mainly to discuss the route in the enemy-occupied area, and you need to arrange some reliable escorts in your armed task force. The basic requirements are strong combat effectiveness and familiarity with the local conditions. In addition, the mission is absolutely confidential. .”

"Route? Where are you going?"

"Binhe area, Neihuang area, Tainan."

"Too South? We are not familiar with it." It is rare for the political commissar to say such a thing, and the chief executive's travel is a major event.

"We have been here from Jiangxi, how can we say how familiar we are?"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" The political commissar nodded.

"."

After the two of them muttered for a long time, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Hey, old Ding, this time you have grown faces."

The political commissar looked astonished: "Look at what you said. Don't keep it to yourself."

The middle-aged man pretended to be mysterious: "Your Jiuying is really good at making trouble."

The political commissar was shocked: "What happened again?"

"Hahaha, I saw you startled. You are a political commissar. You don't even know what your soldiers are doing. That's it. The headquarters called to praise you."

"praise?"

"The Ninth Battalion led the Devils into the mountain, and used one battalion force to break out of the siege encircled by ten times the devils' strength. When you turn around, you ask them to write a detailed battle report, and the superiors are going to vigorously promote it."

"But they haven't come back yet."

"There's no rush. I'll see your two battalion commanders when I have time."

"I forgot, you haven't been here for long."

"In addition, the devils are setting up concentration camps, and northern Shaanxi has instructed that the devil's conspiracy must be destroyed."

"Hasn't the division already made arrangements?"

"Insufficient strength. According to the latest situation, the superior requires us to take down one or two county towns, so that the little devils can't feel at ease."

"This. I'll go back and discuss it with Commander Lu." The political commissar's eyes lit up.

Ding Deyi stepped on his own shadow in the sun and walked quickly across the river from the suspension bridge to Jiuzhan Village.

Waving to the grinning militiamen along the way, occasionally saying a few words
In the fields, villagers carrying water to irrigate the fields occasionally raised their heads to glance at the political commissar.

Then bowed his head and continued to work.
