Liu Hong looked at the thin line drawn by Xiao Zhang on the map, couldn't help but light up, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Zhang, are you saying that this valley can lead to the east of Huanglian Mountain?" ”

Xiao Zhang frowned and thought about it, and then said with great certainty: "Yes, it is indeed possible to reach Huanglian Mountain, and when you get here, it will come to an end, and the other end is also blocked by an unknown mountain, so I said that this is a dead valley." ”

Liu Hong looked at the map and said to himself: "Yellow Lotus Mountain, Yellow Lotus Tree Cave." It's kind of interesting. ”

Liu Hong then asked, "Then wait from here to climb the main peak of Huanglian Mountain?" ”

Xiao Zhang frowned and said: "I'm afraid this is a little difficult, because almost no one has reached this valley, so there is no road to Huanglian Mountain, the mountain is very steep, and it may be difficult to climb up." ”

Liu Hong frowned and asked, "How about the cliff under Donkey Head Peak?" ”

Xiao Zhang hurriedly replied: "It's much easier to climb than the cliff on Donkey Head Mountain, but it's higher than that, but the slope is relatively gentle." ”

"That's easy!" Liu Hong said excitedly: "We can even climb the Donkey Head Peak, can such a hill stop us?" ”

Wu Feng frowned and asked, "Captain, do you want to go straight to Huanglian Mountain?" ”

"Hmm~!" Liu Hong nodded and said: "Take a look, Huanglian Mountain is the commanding height of the Yellow Lotus Tree Depression, the mountain is steep and steep, and the Yellow Lotus Tree Depression is gentle, with a large open land. According to reliable intelligence, the little devil had already captured the area of Huanglian Shuwa during the day yesterday, and had been storming the Guanshan position during the day today. In other words, the area of the Yellow Lotus Tree Recess has become the rear of the devils, and this large open area is the ideal location for the devils' army. ”

When Wu Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "If we can climb the main peak of Huanglian Mountain unconsciously and hit him condescendingly, even if we can't eliminate these little devils, we can scare them half to death." ”

"Haha~!" Liu Hong laughed and said, "That's exactly what I meant." ”

"Just doing that, it seems a little too risky. It's night, it's no better than daytime, there's not even a road here, how can we get there? And the foot of Huanglian Mountain must be all little devils, how can we retreat when the time comes? Wu Feng said with a frown.

Liu Hong said with a serious face: "It is precisely because there is no road here that we can occupy Huanglian Mountain by surprise, as for retreating!" It is unlikely that we will be able to break through head-on, we will have to go back the way we came, and we will retreat before dawn, and we will be safe along this valley to the other end of the valley, over this nameless hill. ”

Wu Feng knew that Liu Hong had already made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him, so he sighed slightly and said, "Okay then!" It's just that we have to hurry, we must retreat to safety before dawn. If we are blocked in this small ravine, when the little devil's plane arrives, we will all become living targets. ”

"You're right, we really need to hurry." Liu Hong nodded and said, "Old Wu! According to our judgment, there must be the main force of devils in front of us, setting a trap and waiting for us! If we don't step on this trap for a long time, the little devil will be in a hurry, and maybe he will chase it out. You take the second squadron to stand by here, and if the little devils really chase them out, you will retreat the same way and lure this little devil away, so that we can also cover our safety. ”

"Captain, I'm ......," Wu Feng said with a frown.

"That's it! Without further ado, without further ado, let's get to the action right away. Liu Hong hurriedly interrupted Wu Feng's words.

Wu Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Yes!" Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

Then Liu Hong took the soldiers of the first squadron and a mortar squad to climb the mountain next to him, as Xiao Zhang said, there was no way up the mountain at all, and the mountain was steep, it was really not easy to climb the mountain, and it was night, it was too dark, more than a dozen soldiers were all injured, and two accidentally fell off the cliff and died heroically. But the warriors eventually overcame many difficulties and climbed the mountain.

Then Liu Hong led the warriors to slide down the thorny hillside to the narrow valley, and under the leadership of Xiao Zhang, quietly touched the direction of Huanglian Mountain.

As Liu Hong expected, in a valley a few miles ahead, more than 2,000 little devils were ready to set up an ambush, just waiting for the Eighth Route Army to throw themselves into the net.

The leader is the commander of the 139th Wing of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, Jiro Takahashi, the 110th Division of the Japanese Army originally had four infantry wings, just a few months ago, in April 1942, it was changed to a three-wing system, under the jurisdiction of the infantry 139 wing, 110 wing, 163 wing, but still attached to a field artillery wing, that is, the field artillery 110 wing. Together with engineers, cavalry, baggage soldiers, etc., the total strength is more than 10,000 people.

At this time, Takahashi Jiro was hiding on the top of a mountain, holding a telescope to observe the distance, because the sky was too dark, this old devil couldn't see what was going on, but one thing was certain, that is, the Eighth Route Army did not come, which made Takahashi Jiro couldn't help but be a little worried, could it be that the Eighth Route Army had seen through their conspiracy, if so, it would be a little troublesome.

At this moment, a little devil hurriedly ran over, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, I just received a report that Tubalu has stopped advancing. ”

"Nani?" Takahashi Jiro couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How can this be?" Why should they stop? ”

"Well...... The lowly position is not clear! The little devil replied quickly.

At this time, a devil officer next to him spoke: "Your Excellency Dazuo, these Tubalu have always been cunning, maybe they have seen through the imperial army's strategy. ”

"Baga Ya Road!" Takahashi Jiro gritted his teeth and cursed, and then ordered: "Immediately send a squadron of troops to attack the Tsuchihachi Road!" Draw them in. ”

Takahashi Jiro still refused to give up his plan, and sent a squadron to lure the enemy again, and after a while, Takahashi Jiro received a report that the Eighth Route Army not only did not continue to advance, but began to retreat gradually after being attacked by the devils.

"Bagaya Road~!" Takahashi Jiro finally determined this time that his plan was a complete failure, and Takahashi Jiro, who was annoyed and angry, immediately ordered loudly: "Immediately send the order, order all troops to set off immediately, and pursue these hateful Dirt Eight Roads with all their might, no matter where they flee, this time we will resolutely and completely destroy them." ”
