Liu Hong led the troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the little devil was completely defeated, fled in embarrassment all the way, and then withdrew to the foot of Xiaoqingshan.

Liu Hong led the soldiers to chase all the way to the bottom of the valley, and then ordered the soldiers to stop the pursuit.

Liu Hong hurriedly summoned Wu Feng, Zhang Dehai and others to his side, and ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order the soldiers to seize the favorable terrain in the valley, build fortifications, and completely cut off the way for the little devil to retreat, and in addition, we must continue to send troops to defend the mountain, in case the devil launches a counterattack, if we can't resist, we will also withdraw to the mountain and continue to block the little devil." ”

"Yes!" The crowd hurriedly answered, and then beckoned the warriors to begin building a new position in the valley.

On Koqingshan, Mamoru Iinuma and his officers saw that the attacking troops were once again repelled by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the situation to launch a counteroffensive, crushing the Japanese army in one fell swoop, causing heavy losses to the attacking troops.

The surrounding devil officers were angry one by one, and some even couldn't help but scold.

Mamoru Iinuma had a calm face, as if he didn't care about it, maybe this old devil had expected this to happen, so he was so calm.

After a while, Mamoru Iinuma couldn't help but sigh softly, and said expressionlessly: "Immediately send an order, order the troops to stop the attack, turn all the offensive to defense, and use all the available terrain to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, are we just giving up?" One of the devil officers asked unwillingly.

Iinuma Mamoru frowned and said: "You have all seen it, we can't capture Pipa Mountain at all, there was still a chance just now, but suddenly hundreds of Eighth Route Army appeared, who knows how many dirt and eight roads are behind Pipa Mountain, and if you continue to fight like this, it will be a waste of troops." ”

Mamoru Iinuma's voice landed, and the little devils present fell silent one by one, and after a while, a ghost officer seemed to say to himself, "Can we only wait here for death?" ”

"Baga Ya Road!" Mamoru Iinuma couldn't help but scolded angrily: "We are not waiting for death here, but here we will fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army has not been defeated now, and will never be defeated!" The battle is not over yet, and it is too early to comment on the outcome or defeat. ”

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly responded respectfully, lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Mamoru Iinuma actually knew in his heart that no one would believe these words of deceitful ghosts, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he could only say this.

Mamoru Iinuma sighed softly and said: "Although the imperial army is surrounded by the Dirt Eight Routes, and the situation is very unfavorable to us, but we still have so many Imperial Army warriors and the strength to fight, these Dirt Eight Roads want to destroy us, it is simply wishful thinking." Therefore, no matter what time comes, we must not lose confidence, and we must firmly believe that our Imperial Japanese Army will win! ”

"Hello!" The devil officers present responded in unison.

Mamoru Iinuma glanced at these devil officers, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Commander immediately, saying that our 110th Division has fallen into the encirclement of the Tsubachi Road, and the Imperial Army has launched several attacks in an attempt to break through, but the results have failed. Now that there is no hope of breaking through the siege, the Imperial Army can only stubbornly wait for reinforcements, and all my officers and men have made up their minds to die and decided to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, and use practical actions to defend the honor that belongs to our Great Japanese Empire. ”

"Hello!" A devil officer next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to send a telegram.

On the position of the Eighth Route Army a few miles away, Commander Lu held a telescope and looked at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, frowned and said: "Inform all troops on the front line to continue to strengthen the offensive, and be sure to break through the devil's resistance as soon as possible and completely annihilate the encircled enemy. ”

Commander Lu paused slightly, and then said: "The current little devils are already at the end of their crossbows, they won't last long, as long as we hold on for a while, the final victory will be ours." ”

"Yes!" A soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to convey the order.

After Commander Lu finished speaking, he raised the telescope again, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, shouting that killing shook the sky, and guns and cannons rang out in unison. The heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were launching a ferocious attack on the blocking position of the little devils, and the battle was extremely tragic.

At this time, the chief of staff hurriedly ran over and said excitedly: "Commander, good news! ”

"What's the good news?" Commander Lu asked without looking back.

"I just received a telegram from the Martial Arts Team." The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "Liu Hong said on the telegram that they repelled the attack of the devils again, and took advantage of the situation to launch a counteroffensive and completely defeated the little devils. ”

When Commander Lu heard this, he suddenly turned his head and asked with a surprised expression, "What did you just say?" Liu Hong: They defeated the little devils! ”

"Hmm!" The Chief of Staff nodded vigorously.

Commander Lu said excitedly: "Okay! It's just great! I saw all the devil's planes heading towards Pipa Mountain just now, and they bombed down indiscriminately, I thought that Pipa Mountain couldn't hold it! I didn't expect Liu Hong and them to turn defeat into victory! It's amazing! This Liu Hong really keeps creating surprises for us! ”

The chief of staff smiled and nodded, "Yes! This Liu Hong is indeed very good at leading troops to fight, and he is a rare general! ”

"Hmm!" Commander Lu said with a smile: "In this way, the little devils will not be able to run away, Liu Hong and they have made great contributions again!" I went to send a telegram back to Liu Hong's boy, saying that they should make persistent efforts to assist the main force in annihilating the encircled enemy, and when the battle is over, I will personally ask him for credit from the headquarters, and it will be the first credit. ”

"Good!" The chief of staff nodded and said, "I'll go and send him a telegram." It's just that we should work harder, otherwise the limelight will be stolen by Liu Hong, this kid. ”

Commander Lu smiled and said, "Haha...... It doesn't matter who is in the limelight, as long as they can win the battle! If the 110th Division can be completely annihilated this time, it will definitely be an unprecedented victory, and I will see how arrogant these little devils are when the time comes. ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded and said: "Our Eighth Route Army has never won such a big battle, so even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and even Yan'an are paying close attention to the results of this battle, and they are constantly sending telegrams to inquire about the situation. ”
