"Find a puppet stronghold, let's go eat. Ｅ ．” Huang Changsheng didn't know that the military column of the little devil he blew up hid a special bomb against Liao Fan in the secret compartment of each carriage.

It was also this action that made the little devil's lieutenant vomit blood angrily.

"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General, you must take care of your health." Several staff officers helped the Japanese lieutenant general to sit down.

The Japanese lieutenant general wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said weakly: "Damn the Chinese guerrillas, they actually attacked our logistics and transportation line, and all the special bombs transferred from Taiyuan were destroyed. ”

"Your Excellency General, our heavy artillery brigade has been re-equipped with eight howitzers, and I believe that even if there are no special bombs, with the bushido spirit of our Imperial Japanese Army, we can completely take the position of the squadron." said the Japanese staff officer.

"Stop all the troops' offensive plans today, let the troops repair for the day, and concentrate all forces tomorrow morning to attack the positions of the squadron, and I must wash their garrisons in blood." The Japanese lieutenant general had already begun to roll his eyes when he said this, the combat was not effective in the past few days, the ammunition consumption was large, the logistics and transportation were attacked by the Eighth Route Army many times, and the poison gas bombs that were finally applied for this time were all blown up by unknown troops, these things really made the Japanese lieutenant general feel what it means not to work hard and not know what it means to be desperate.

"Your Excellency General, although our howitzers have all arrived, but our shells are insufficient, I have urged the logistics troops to step up the delivery of ammunition, but the logistics troops have weak combat capabilities, and have been attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army many times, and if this continues, there will be big problems in our follow-up operations." Japanese staff officers were concerned about the ability of their units to continue fighting.

"How much ammunition do our howitzers have now?" The Japanese lieutenant general can now sit here and speak, completely supported by hatred, and he has not encountered such a major setback on the battlefield in China.

"There are only a dozen, and this is still delivered this afternoon, and the fighters' ammunition is only half divided."

"Order the troops of the Eighth Route Army to suspend all operations, and let them ensure the safety of the logistics troops until we can fully replenish our ammunition." In order to ensure logistics, the Japanese lieutenant generals had to change their original combat plan and first ensure their logistical transportation.

"Your Excellency the general, you must not, the retreating troops of encirclement and suppression will completely expose our backs to the Eighth Route Army, so that the squadron in front of us will cooperate with the attack, and it will form a situation of flanking us on both sides."

"Don't worry, the Eighth Route Army only has the ability to sneak attack our transportation lines, and I have already arranged for a large group of troops to be stationed on the hill behind us, as long as the Eighth Route Army dares to come, we will just destroy them in one fell swoop, which can save us a lot of strength." The Japanese lieutenant general was not worried that the Eighth Route Army would launch a large-scale attack on them, on the contrary, he also looked forward to it, as long as the Eighth Route Army was threatened, their frontal squadron would definitely come to the rescue, as long as they walked out of the fortifications, everything would be fine.

"Your Excellency is still thoughtful." The Japanese staff officer patted the sycophants and said.

"You all go get busy, I'm going to take a break." The Japanese lieutenant general urgently needed to rest, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out just now, making him feel that his body was hollowed out, as if he was more than ten years old.

Since Liu Chundao was injured and the guard battalion retreated, Liao Fan was most worried about his rear being attacked by the little devils, he wanted to pull the troops to the second line of defense, even if the little devils attacked from behind him, the second line of defense could completely hold the entire garrison with the cooperation of the third line of defense firepower, but this was still a few days away from the plan he originally made to defend for ten to fifteen days.

"Is it really necessary to divide the troops?" Liao Fan sat in the command headquarters and said to himself, "But where should I defend it, the Dahongshan Pass has lost its defensive value." ”

Liao Fan began to look through the map, looking for places that could be defended between the pass of Dahong Mountain and their station, but Liao Fan did not find a suitable place, because these places could not withstand the coverage of the little devil's artillery, even if he dropped all his troops, it would not have much effect.

"Brother Fan, are you looking for something with us?" In the evening, the three regiment commanders came to Liao Fan's headquarters.

Liao Fan glanced at Liu Chunjian, who was still in the headquarters, and then said to the three regiment commanders: "Let's go, let's go out." ”

The three of them didn't understand why Liao Fan asked them to go out and talk, but they still followed Liao Fan all the way to the training ground, and Liao Fan beckoned a few people to find a place to do it.

"Brother Fan, what are you looking for us?" Among the three people, Hu Guoshan always wanted to know everything in a hurry.

"The guard battalion is in trouble at the Dahong Mountain Pass, Liu Chundao was seriously injured, John has already operated on him, it is not necessary to wake up or not, Chunjian doesn't know about this matter yet." Liao Fan briefly said the matter.

"Brother Fan, when did this happen? How did we not know? The three of them knew why Liao Fan called them here to talk about this matter.

"What happened last night, the second company of the guard battalion and the artillery company that acted with them returned to the station this morning, and the first company stayed at the Dahongshan Pass, the purpose was not to block the Japanese army, but to monitor the movements of the little devils." Everyone understands that no matter how the soldiers of a company fight, they can't stop the little devils, and even if they have snipers to help, they can at most delay the little devils' march.

The three regiment commanders realized that the situation was beginning to be critical, and if a brigade of devils from the Hebei direction was sent to attack, and the Japanese troops in front of them were to attack them on both sides, no matter how hard they fought on the first line of defense, it would be useless, and the only result of the fight would be the exhaustion of the whole army.

"Brother Fan, before the little devil acts, let's retreat to the second line of defense, although the second line of defense is not as strong as the first line of defense, if the soldiers fight to the death, it will be no problem to defend for half a month." Ma Wanzhong suggested that at present, it seems that retreating to the second line of defense is the safest way at present.

"We can't go back now." Li Weimin expressed his opinion, "The little devil's attack has been frustrated for several days, and the casualties are huge, compared to the morale of the little devils, it has also suffered a great blow, and although we have suffered heavy casualties, the morale of the soldiers is high, and we will retreat like this, not only can we not give our soldiers an explanation, but the little devils will definitely take the opportunity to hype up to improve their morale, which will be very unfavorable to us at that time." ”

"Li Weimin is right, although it is the safest way to retreat to the second line of defense, but the little devil did not capture the first line of defense after all, and if we withdraw like this, the morale of both sides will inevitably turn." Liao Fan was also worried that the sudden withdrawal of troops would have a great impact on morale.

"But in such a large area to the east, except for the second line of defense that can resist the attack of the little devil, there is no danger to defend at all, unless the little devil gets lost after entering the mountain and can't find our station." Hu Guoshan knew that the Dahongshan Pass was the best place to defend, and now it was almost blown up, "Although there are a few places along the way that are relatively dangerous, they can't stop the artillery fire of the little devils at all, and even if the troops of a regiment are transferred, they can't stop a day." ”

"It's impossible to let the little devils get lost, their planes in the sky will correct the direction for them at any time, so many forks in the road we can use, for example, we dig traps and bury mines at each fork in the road, although it can't cause much casualties to the little devils, at least it can delay the attack of the little devils." Ma Wanzhong suggested.

"This is a solution, but it can't be delayed for long at all, according to the little devil's march, it will take three to four days to reach our station, this is not a long-term solution, we have to think of a foolproof strategy." Liao Fan said.

"Brother Fan, I have a way, but it is very dangerous to implement, but it will definitely make the little devil dare not act rashly." Hu Guoshan said.

"Tell me about it first."

"Draw our most elite fighters to form a reinforced battalion, equipped with the best weapons, at least one light machine gun per squad in terms of firepower, and also a separate heavy machine gun company, and another artillery company, and I will lead this force around Jing County and raid Luquan." Hu Guoshan said his thoughts.

"This is too dangerous, Luquan is close to Shijiazhuang, if the little devils in Shijiazhuang react quickly, you are very likely to be surrounded." Ma Wanzhong didn't expect Hu Guoshan to come up with such a dangerous method.

"It's a good way, we not only have to scare the snake, but also to fight grass, although Jing County's defense is weak, but Jing County is attacked can also arouse the vigilance of the little devils, take advantage of them to think that Jing County is not safe, and then attack Luquan, so that the little devils have no time to react at all, if the operation is good, the little devils at least dare not act rashly within a week." Liao Fan thinks this method is good, danger is danger, but it is definitely worth trying.

"Brother Fan, then I'll arrange it?" Hu Guoshan knew that the little devil had little time left for them.

"Okay, you go and arrange manpower first, as for the weapons and equipment, you three regiments will make it together, and then find Sun Boyong if it is not enough." Liao Fan decided to take a risk.

"Brother Fan, in this way, the first line of defense will lack enough manpower."

"I've already thought about this, transfer everyone in the third line of defense to the first line of defense, and temporarily hand over the matter of the third line of defense to the soldiers of Sun Boyong's logistics department, after all, the firepower point of the third line of defense is very close to the station, so I can rest assured that the task of patrolling and defense will be handed over to Sun Boyong." Liao Fan no longer cares whether the soldiers in the logistics department have undergone strict training, and now there is a shortage of manpower anywhere.

"Okay, Brother Fan, let's go back and prepare." The three of them all know that the current situation is not in their favor, and only by working together can they fight desperately against the little devils.

When the three of them were about to leave, two warriors escorted one person over: "Brother Fan, we caught a spy." ”
