"Are there really a thousand little devils here?" Zhang Zhicheng asked with a frown, as if he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.

The commander of the Eighth Route Army nodded and said, "There are indeed thousands of little devils. ”

"Thousands of devils, so easily killed by us?" Zhang Zhicheng asked again.

"Yes!" The commander of the Eighth Route Army said with great certainty.

At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, we just checked, the Japanese military numbers on the car are quite messy, but they are all independent Seventh Mixed Brigade, which belong to the First Brigade, the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade. ”

At this time, a soldier next to him said in surprise: "Aren't these the little devils who are besieging us in Deng Zhuangzi?" ”

It turned out that in the previous battle, the little devils of the independent seventh mixed brigade also suffered heavy losses, especially the first brigade and the second brigade, which were almost exhausted, and they have not been replenished by personnel for this time, this time they rushed to Cangzhou, and the three brigades got together more than 1,000 people and rushed to Cangzhou by train, but they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way, and more than 1,000 little devils all saw the king of Yama in a daze.

Zhang Zhicheng also immediately thought of this, raised his head excitedly, and said loudly: "Brothers, there are spirits in the sky, please open your eyes and take a look!" We have avenged you today. ”

Zhang Zhicheng's words made all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army present cry, even those soldiers who had not experienced the bloody battle of Deng Zhuangzi were all soldiers of the Jilu Military Region, their troops had been scattered before, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the murderer was this independent seventh mixed brigade.

Zhang Zhicheng's words reminded the soldiers of those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, and they were sad for a while.

At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army ran over quickly, raised his hand and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, Captain Liu sent a telegram again to ask about our situation, and Captain Liu said that if the little devil has not come, he wants us to retreat immediately so as not to be exposed." ”

Zhang Zhicheng was already in tears of excitement at this time, and after hearing this, he hurriedly wiped a handful of tears and said excitedly: "Call Captain Liu back immediately, and say that our department successfully ambushed the Japanese army and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops. ”

"Yes!" The warrior hurriedly answered, turned around and hurried away.

It was not until this moment that Zhang Zhicheng really understood Liu Hong's intentions, and Liu Hong insisted that they come here to ambush the Japanese army, just to give them a chance to take revenge and a chance to be ashamed.

And now that they have done it, the corpses of these devils in front of them are the best proof of this. They not only avenged the soldiers of the 11th Regiment, but also avenged the soldiers of the entire Jilu Military Region.

So now Zhang Zhicheng's psychology is also a 180-degree change, from the beginning of Liu Hong's incomprehension and complaints, to the current gratitude is inexplicable.

At this time, the soldiers couldn't help but burst into bursts of enthusiastic cheers, and the excited fighters used this way to celebrate this hard-won and long-awaited victory.

Zhang Zhicheng glanced at these soldiers, and his heart was also excited, he knew that he didn't need to say anything now, the victory in front of him was the best medicine to boost morale, better than a thousand words.

However, as an excellent commander, Zhang Zhicheng also understood that this place was by no means a place to stay for a long time, and then Zhang Zhicheng hurriedly ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then retreat immediately.

After receiving the order, the soldiers happily began to clean up the battlefield, collect as much as possible the weapons and ammunition that were not blown up, and then take them away, for the Eighth Route Army, every bullet is very precious, so it must not be wasted.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Zhicheng immediately commanded the troops to retreat.

At the same time, Liu Hong also left Cangzhou Airport with a large number of materials and equipment with a military engineering team and a front team, and withdrew to Gaoguantun Village in batches.

There are too many materials in the airport, and some things really can't be taken away, so they can only be destroyed on the spot, which is also a helpless move, and it can't be left to the little devils!

When the military engineering team retreated, it not only destroyed these materials, but also destroyed some important facilities in the airport, and even the runway of the airport was blown up, so that in a short period of time, it was difficult for the airport to be put back into use.

In the afternoon of the same day, the troops led by the Wugong Corps and Zhang Zhicheng returned to Gaoguantun Village one after another, and the Eighth Route Army inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, destroying nearly 3,000 Japanese troops in total, and destroying Cangzhou Airport and more than 30 fighters in the airport, which can be described as a brilliant result.

As soon as Zhang Zhicheng saw Liu Hong's face, he went up and grabbed Liu Hong's hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a grateful face: "Captain Liu, thank you so much this time." Shame on you! At the beginning, our 11th Regiment, and even the troops of the entire Jilu Military Region, were almost destroyed in the hands of this independent 7th mixed brigade. ”

Liu Hong hurriedly said: "Commander Zhang is too polite, it should be me who thank you, our martial arts team also suffered a loss in the hands of the independent seventh mixed brigade, thank you for avenging us this time!" ”

When Liu Hong said this, seeing that Head Zhang seemed to have something to say, he hurriedly opened his mouth and blocked Head Zhang's words.

Liu Hong continued: "But! This independent 7th Mixed Brigade has not been wiped out by us yet, and this matter is not over! To put it mildly, if you don't kill all the little devils in one day and drive them out of China completely, it will not be considered revenge. ”

When Zhang Zhicheng heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Commander Liu is right, but this battle has given us hope again, and the morale of the soldiers has been greatly boosted. I believe that as long as we join hands to resist the enemy and the people of the whole country are united in their efforts to persist in the War of Resistance to the End, one day we will win a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "What Regiment Commander Zhang said is too good, and I believe that the day of victory is not far away, the present is only the last darkness before dawn, and it will not be long before we will be able to achieve a complete victory in the War of Resistance against Japan." ”

As a traverser, Liu Hong is 100% sure of this, it is already in the late stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is not far from the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It's just that Liu Hong still hopes that this day will come sooner, because the Chinese people have already paid too much for this war.
