Liao Fan dealt with all the problems accumulated by the troops in the past few days after he was absent, and then picked up the report submitted by Sun Boyong to read. E ┡ There are a lot of numbers listed on it, which are nothing more than money, jewelry, weapons and ammunition, Liao Fan was not interested, glanced at it casually, and then signed his name at the end.

Liao Fan rarely had free time and wanted to write a letter to Liao Jundong, after all, his relationship with Fu Hongyu would have to be told to Liao Jundong sooner or later. And since Liao Jundong left, Liao Fan has never written a letter to him, as a younger brother, at least he should care about his brother.

When Liao Fan was thinking about how to write a letter, a soldier ran into the headquarters: "Brother Fan, something is wrong." ”

Liao Fan hurriedly folded the letter and put it on the table: "Speak slowly, what's wrong?" ”

"We just rescued a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, he said that he was the guard of Political Commissar Liu, and Political Commissar Liu encountered an ambush by unknown forces, and now the good luck is unpredictable."

"Careless, how are the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army?" Liao Fan remembered the disappeared little devil army, after Liao Fan returned to the station, he forgot about this matter, he didn't expect that they would ambush the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital by our soldiers, and before they fell unconscious, they only told us that they were ambushed, and they did not have time to explain the specific situation."

"Chunjian, tell the three battalion commanders that something happened to Political Commissar Liu, and I have already led the team out, so that they can take care of their homes and prevent the sneak attack of the little devils." Liao Fan was worried that this little devil's army would not come well, and he might divide his troops to raid Liao Fan's station.

However, Liao Fan overestimated the little devil, the first few battles made the Japanese high-level command realize that there was a force with extraordinary combat effectiveness in the Taihang Mountains, after receiving the bandits' request for help, although the commander of the little devil promised to send troops, but he didn't want to risk this bandit, so he sent a squad of soldiers quietly into the mountain.

After entering the mountain, this little devil's troops, according to the order, acted as covertly as possible, and only in the case of absolute superiority could they come to the aid of the bandits. However, Liao Fan's surprise attack disturbed the little devils who came to support, and the captain of the little devils decisively ordered a retreat and lurked in the mountains.

"Let Huang Changsheng gather the troops, forget it, I'll go by myself." Liao Fan was worried about the safety of Political Commissar Liu, and almost forgot the location of the special combat team, and ordinary soldiers were not allowed to enter.

Liao Fan picked up his matching gun and rushed out of the command headquarters. Along the way, analyzing the situation that Political Commissar Liu and the others are encountering now, judging from the situation of Political Commissar Liu's guards, I am afraid that Political Commissar Liu will be more than lucky this time.

"Changsheng, gather the troops, the special combat team is stationed, leave a small team of people to guard, and the rest of the people are all assembled."

Not long after Huang Changsheng returned to his station, he saw Liao Fan running over in a hurry: "Brother Fan, something happened." ”

"Political Commissar Liu, they are in trouble, I'm afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, hurry up and gather the troops, go out with me, and the fifty sharpshooters who have just been trained will follow."

Huang Changsheng asked the troops to assemble urgently, and in half a minute, everyone gathered, Liao Fan briefly talked about the situation, and did not arrange specific tasks for them, because he was not sure about the specific situation of the little devil now.

"Brother Fan, where is the place where they were ambushed?" Huang Changsheng asked.

"I don't know, Political Commissar Liu's guards passed out before they could say it." Liao Fan said as he walked.

"From the Eighth Route Army's station to our station, there are at least a dozen places that can be ambushed along the way, and if we follow this road, we may encounter them, but this is too dangerous." Huang Changsheng said.

"We have to prepare for the worst, so that the soldiers are ready for battle, and prevent the little devils from giving us a second ambush."

Huang Changsheng issued an order to keep the troops in a fighting state: "The result I hope most now is that Political Commissar Liu is captured, so that we can also rescue him from the hands of the little devil, in case Political Commissar Liu sacrifices his life for the country, how can we explain to the Eighth Route Army." ”

Liao Fan analyzed as he walked: "It's hard to say anything now, what is certain is that this squad of the Japanese army carries a radio, and if they succeed, they can ask for support from the little devil's headquarters through the radio." Changsheng, if you are the commander of the little devils, what will you do after you ask for help? ”

Huang Changsheng thought for a while: "If I am the commander of the little devil, and the troops have been lurking in the mountains for more than five days, the supplies will definitely be exhausted, and the best plan is to lead the troops to evacuate quickly." ”

"Yes, retreat, but where to retreat?" Liao Fan wondered what the little devil would do, "Map." ”

The communication soldier took the map to Liao Fan and opened it, Liao Fan looked at the map and said to himself: "I will lead the troops to evacuate to the nearest stronghold, Xiaowangzhuang stronghold." ”

"Brother Fan, the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold is completely an ornament, there is no defense capability at all, if I am the commander of the little devil, I will take the troops to the Yangji stronghold, the Yangji stronghold has a big road that can lead to the county seat, if you encounter trouble, the mechanized troops of the little devil can arrive in less than three hours, and this stronghold is just repaired by the little devil, and the firepower configuration is stronger than other strongholds." Huang Changsheng has made frequent attacks in Taihang Mountain in the past few days, and he has a better understanding of the situation of the surrounding strongholds.

"It seems that only Yangji is suitable as a temporary shelter for the little devils, so I will arrange a combat plan," Now that he has reached a conclusion, Liao Fan immediately has his own thoughts, no matter whether this devil army has been successful or not, in Liao Fan's heart, since the moment they entered Taihang Mountain, they are already dead.

"Brother Fan, you give the order."

"Arrange forty people to distribute the sharpshooters you have just trained on both sides of the road leading from Yangji to the county seat, and if it is the army of the little devils, let the sharpshooters harass them and delay the progress of the little devils; The rest is a sharpshooter, you and I each bring five people, and then you lead a team of people to search for the traces of the little devils, once the traces appear, follow them, determine whether Commissar Liu is safe, remember that once there is a firefight, you must be tasked with protecting Commissar Liu; Then I led a team of people to raid the sheep market, trying to take the sheep market stronghold before the little devils arrived. ”

"Brother Fan, do you want to bring more people, in case you rush to the Yangji stronghold, the little devil also retreats, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the Yangji in a short time, and I will be caught by the little devil's support troops." Huang Changsheng said.

"No, remember that this operation must be clean and clean, and you can't let go of a little devil." Liao Fan has already sentenced the little devil to death, "act separately." ”

Liao Fan now has no time to confirm whether Political Commissar Liu is sacrificed, if he is captured, it is best, he is now fully capable of rescuing Political Commissar Liu before the little devil withdraws from Taihang Mountain.

Huang Changsheng led the troops, formed a search formation, and searched for the place where the little devils ambushed Political Commissar Liu, and on a sheep intestine path, a soldier showed traces of a firefight, and there were eight corpses of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the grass.

"Captain, the corpse is still hot, it seems that the battle is over for about half an hour, and the little devil has not gone far, should we catch up." A detachment leader reported.

"It seems that Political Commissar Liu did not sacrifice." Huang Changsheng checked the eight corpses, and there was no political commissar Liu, "Send two teams of three people to follow the traces left by the little devil and chase quickly. ”

When Political Commissar Liu organized the soldiers to fight back, he was hit by a bullet, and when the captain of the little devil's squad saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fully protecting Political Commissar Liu, he understood that Political Commissar Liu's identity was not ordinary, and ordered to be captured alive, and Political Commissar Liu was injured and unconscious, unable to resist, and was captured by the little devil.
