"Once and for all?" John looked at Liao Fan with a puzzled expression.

Liao Fan looked at John's expression and hurriedly explained: "It's a one-time solution." ”

John shook his head, he didn't have a one-size-fits-all solution, the best way to get rid of germs was to get rid of the source of germs, and the best way to get rid of the source was to burn all the corpses.

"It seems that we can only collect the corpses, I will send someone to negotiate with the little devils first, and see if they are willing to honestly collect the corpses of their own people, if they are unwilling, we can only let our own warriors do this." There was no other way but to take John's advice.

Liao Fan, who returned to the headquarters, was thinking about who should be the messenger, the two armies were facing each other, and the messenger would have to risk his life to deliver the letter.

"Chu Pengtian, tell Ma Wanzhong that when you go out tonight to collect ammunition from the corpse of the little devil, arrange for the soldiers to grab their tongues and come back!" Liao Fan thought about it, he couldn't let anyone do this matter, in case he threw away the lives of his soldiers for the corpse of the little devil, it wouldn't be fun.

Since nightfall, the three regiments have moved again, and the basic goal of the little devils has been determined, so the scouts and small forces they sent have become much smaller, which is a good thing for the three regiments. In the afternoon, Hu Guoshan had already ordered the scouts to act.

The main junctions of the little devils into the mountains are heavily guarded, and there is also a large group of Japanese troops patrolling the route of transporting supplies, and there are Japanese soldiers left behind at intervals to ensure that the logistics and transportation lines for them into the mountains are unimpeded.

For the independent 33rd Division that is familiar with the mountain road, it is still a relatively physically demanding thing to cross the mountains and mountains in Taihang Mountain, and it is not an easy job for the little devils, especially the little devils in logistics, the materials needed for the battle and the rations of the soldiers have been handed over to them. Trucks and armored vehicles can only transport the necessary supplies to the mountain passes, and then transported them to various units by horse-drawn carts, ox carts, or human resistance into the mountains.

Because the transportation speed and efficiency of horse-drawn carts and ox-carts were much lower than those of Japanese trucks, a large number of materials were hoarded in the area of Shimen and Wangzhai, and for the safety of the materials, the Japanese army arranged two brigades to defend these two places.

Originally, the Japanese army planned to arrange the strength of two brigades in these two places, but the commander of the little devil was already convinced that the Chinese army was surrounded by them, so he arranged the strength of the two brigades.

"Shimen and Wangzhai?" Hu Guoshan frowned and muttered the two place names.

Hu Guoshan is very familiar with the two places of Shimen and Wangzhai, which is why he frowned. The stone gate is an important road into the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is understandable that the little devils hoard materials in the area of the stone gate. But why did the little devil choose the place of Wangzhai.

"According to the news detected by the scouts, there are indeed a large number of little devils in Wangzhai who are active, and they have also seen their troops carrying supplies!" Zhao Caizhu said.

Wangzhai is a town, and this town is already in the mountains, not mountain passes. From the topographical point of view, although Wangzhai is very dangerous, it is easy to guard, but Wangzhai is still about ten miles away from the mountain pass, and there is no big road between the mountain pass, the most important thing is that the terrain of Wangzhai area is narrow and long, and it cannot be used for in-depth defense at all.

Hu Guoshan couldn't understand why the commander of the little devil was hoarding supplies in Wangzhai, could it be that the head of the commander of the little devil was really in the water?

In fact, the idea of the commander of the little devil is very simple, the Chinese army has been completely surrounded, and they simply do not have the ability of soldiers to launch an attack on the place where they have hoarded supplies, even if it is redundant to arrange two brigades in Wangzhai, the commander of the little devil even thought about arranging only one brigade of troops.

"Commander, what are we going to do next? Do you want to get the troops moving right away? Zhao Caizhu asked.

"It's ten o'clock now, and it will take us at least four hours to reach Wangzhai from Hulutao, and the little devil's support troops can support Wangzhai within two to three hours, and this battle is not easy to fight." Hu Guoshan weighed it carefully.

"And once there is any movement on the Wangzhai side, the little devils in the Shimen area will definitely increase their troops, and our next actions will not be very smooth!"

"Don't act tonight for the time being, tell the scouts to figure out the defense of the little devils in Wangzhai as much as possible!" Hu Guoshan said, "There are also arrangements for soldiers to enter the city, contact our intelligence officers in the city, and let them find out as soon as possible how much materials the little devils have hoarded in the city!" ”

Hu Guoshan didn't want to take risks before he figured out the situation, especially the unreasonable arrangement of the little devil in Wangzhai, which made Hu Guoshan always feel that this was a trap set by the little devil for them. Moreover, since the three regiments are going to move, they can't stay any longer, and they must find another safe place to facilitate the soldiers of the three regiments to hide.

Therefore, the task of the three regiments in this day is relatively heavy, they not only have to reconnoiter the little devils, but also find a safer hiding place for themselves.

The Third Regiment had to be cautious, but the reconnaissance battalion led by Jin Sanshan did not have as many scruples as Hu Guoshan. There were only more than 500 people in the reconnaissance camp, and they would not be found if they were to hide in a small ravine, so there was no need to find a special camp, and now they had solved their logistical worries.

The transportation of materials back and forth on the railway line, looking at Jin Sanshan's eyes with gold stars, he really wanted to make a big one, and then move the full car of materials back to the mountains to hoard. But after waiting all night on the railway line, they still didn't find a chance to start.

Until the second half of the night, for the sake of safety, the little devil did not have a single train on the railway line, and Jin Sanshan had to take the troops into the mountain again to hide.

And in the Beitaifeng Pass, the little devils gathered in Shanxi attacked for a day and honestly returned to the camp to rest, this day the little devils attacked very fiercely, but there was no progress, and they could not even complete the encirclement of the station where the second regiment of Beitaifeng was located.

"This little devil seems to be monolithic, but in fact, there are intrigues inside!" Li Weimin said under the oil lamp.

Although the attack of the little devils during the day today was very fierce, Li Weimin also saw that the Japanese army was not desperate at all, otherwise their casualties in this battle would have increased. Li Weimin analyzed the reason and thought that the little devil was deliberately delaying time.

The purpose of the Japanese army's deliberate delay was clear, they were waiting for the main force of the 33rd Independent Division to be wiped out, and then they would sit back and enjoy the results.

"Commander, should we try a sneak attack tonight!" A battalion commander of the Second Regiment asked Li Weimin.

"Don't don't, don't find me something, now the Japanese army has no desperate plans, we just need to slowly consume time with them, if we provoke them, the next battle will not be as easy as today."

Li Weimin felt that it was not yet time to fight hard, and he should not take risks.

"Commander, are we spending it with the little devil like this?"

"Consume, it's no problem for us to spend two or three months on him, the little devil can't spend so long in the mountains, don't be impulsive, when you need to work hard, we'll arrange a sneak attack!" Li Weimin told the battalion commanders under his command, for fear that they would not be able to bear it tonight, and led the troops to kill the little devil's camp.

In the first half of the night, almost no soldiers slept and rested, and after dinner, they had to prepare for tomorrow's battle, so that in the early hours of the morning, there was no movement on the position, and most of the soldiers gradually fell asleep, except for the soldiers who stood guard and patrolled.

In addition to the sentries and patrols, only the highest military commander was left to stay up all night. Bored at night, Liao Fan simply launched a telegram with Li Zongren, and the content of the telegram was nothing but the situation of today's battle. For example, what to eat tonight, whether the weather in Wuhan or Taihang Mountain is hot or not.

The weather in Wuhan this season is like a doll's face, it will change, last night it was still starry, but this morning it was surprisingly hot. Li Zongren rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the thick clouds in the distance, and his mood became depressed.

The weather is very hot, hot people are sweating when they sit, Li Zongren found a fan and kept fanning, he really hoped that it would rain, as long as it rained, the attack speed of the little devil would slow down, and he would be able to make more preparations.

However, the rain never fell, and it became a problem to replenish water on the forward positions, and the logistics soldiers had to brave the rain of bullets to send a large amount of water to the front line. In particular, the heavy machine guns of the national army, once there is a shortage of water, the heavy firepower on the position will be greatly reduced.

Liao Fan, who also prayed for rain, did the first thing he did when he got up was to look at the weather in Taihang Mountain, but compared to the situation in Wuhan, Taihang Mountain was still clear and there was no cloud at all. At this time, Wuhan is sweltering, and Taihang Mountain is hot.

"Chu Pengtian went to ask if he caught his tongue last night?" Liao Fan woke up Chu Pengtian, who was still sleeping.

Chu Pengtian left shirtless, he didn't have to convey the order in person now, there were enough fighters in their special service platoon. What he needs now is to follow Liao Fan's side.

While eating breakfast, the fighters of the special service squad reported that the group had not caught any tongues and planned to try it again tonight.

During the day, it was the home of the little devils, and the soldiers of the 33rd Independent Division had to hide in bunkers or in an unknown ravine somewhere in case they were discovered by the little devils and got into trouble. In order to preserve their own strength and better fight the Japanese invaders, the night is the home of the independent 33rd Division.

Last night seemed like a peaceful night, but there were always little things that made people grumpy on a hot summer day. This morning, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Shanxi received another phone call, and this time he did not scold the street, but directly threw out the phone in his hand.

"Check! Be sure to check it out for me, there must be a conspiracy in this matter! There were bursts of roars from the headquarters of the Japanese army in Taiyuan.
