Liu Hong and Wu Feng were talking, when a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over, stood up and raised his hand to salute, and said loudly: "Report to the captain, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”

The soldier said and handed over a telegram, Liu Hong hurriedly took the telegram, read it carefully, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Wu Feng hurriedly asked, "Just look at your expression, there must be some good news!" ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "The chief is the chief!" It's a great move. As he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng took the telegram, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's a little interesting, first disrupt the deployment of the devils, and then find a way to take over the main force to break through the Pinghan Railway." ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded, and said: "The most important thing is that this time, not only our Jizhong Military Region, but also the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will assist us in the battle, and the troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region will also do their best to cooperate with us, so that we can take this opportunity to teach the little devil a good lesson." ”

Wu Feng said with a smile: "In this way, this battle will be lively, so when will we act?" ”

Liu Hong frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "The main force of our Jizhong Military Region has already set off, and it is estimated that we will be able to rush to the area of Yixian today, so we must hurry up and act as soon as possible, then we will start tonight." ”

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Okay!" So where are we aiming for it? ”

Liu Hong glanced down at the map, then stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the map, and said with a sneer: "Just hit here?" ”

"Gaoyang County?" Wu Feng couldn't help frowning and asked.

"That's right! It's Gaoyang County! Liu Hong said with great certainty: "Let's either not fight, since we want to fight, then fight a big one, let's fight this Gaoyang county seat." ”

Liu Hong paused, sneered and said, "I want to see how the little devil should deal with it next!" ”

Wu Feng frowned and asked, "What if the little devil mobilizes the main force to attack us?" After all, there is now an independent second mixed brigade stationed near Baoding, the strength of a brigade! ”

Liu Hong sneered and said: "So what, the task of this independent second mixed brigade is to defend the first line of the Pinghan Railway and prevent my main force from breaking through the Pinghan Railway line, do they dare to move?" If they really dare to move, wouldn't it be just right, and our main force will be able to take the opportunity to break through the Pinghan Railway. ”

Wu Feng nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "If you don't say that the heads of the headquarters are smart!" Originally, our intelligence reminder was leaked before, which made our Eighth Route Army fall into passivity, but in this way, our Eighth Route Army can be passive and active, and these little devils who think they are smart are equivalent to cocooning themselves. ”

"Good!" Wu Feng smiled and nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will immediately order all troops to prepare for battle in advance, and then we will have a good time with these little devils." ”

In the evening of the same day, there was silence in the headquarters, and Wu Feng took a group of staff officers and looked at Liu Hong with a serious face, waiting for Liu Hong to give the battle order.

Liu Hong raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, nodded and said, "It's almost time, now give the battle order." ”

Liu Hong ordered with a serious face: "Order the main force of the martial arts team to penetrate directly into Gaoyang County, surround Gaoyang County as quickly as possible, and prepare for battle." ”

"Yes!" A communications staff officer hurriedly answered and turned to deliver the order.

Then Liu Hong continued: "Immediately inform the 11th Regiment of Commander Zhang's teaching, and let them immediately lead the troops to attack the Japanese strongholds and artillery towers west of Gaoyang County, and at the same time prepare to block the enemy who may be reinforced in the direction of Baoding." The attack is scheduled for seven o'clock this evening. ”

"Yes!" A staff officer hurriedly answered and turned to deliver the order.

"After conveying the order, the main force immediately prepared to move and went to Gaoyang County, where it commanded the troops to attack Gaoyang County." Liu Hong then ordered.

"Yes!" The others echoed in unison.

At seven o'clock that night, the main force of the 11th Regiment led by Zhang Zhicheng took the lead in launching an attack on the surrounding little devils, and in just a few hours, the three stronghold turrets of the devils were successfully broken by the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, the main force of the military engineering team had rushed to Gaoyang County, took the opportunity to surround the county seat, and prepared for the attack.

At this time, Liu Hong had already rushed to the front line with the command headquarters, Liu Hong came to the forward position, held a telescope to observe the situation in the city, and asked casually: "Is there any movement of the little devils in the surrounding strongholds?" ”

Zhao Lei replied with a smile: "The little devils in the strongholds in the east, south, and north, after learning the situation, hurriedly reinforced the county seat, among which two of the little devils were defeated by us, and the other reacted relatively quickly and took the opportunity to escape into Gaoyang County." ”

"How many little devils are there in the city now?" Liu Hong nodded and asked.

"Before, the little devils transferred a squadron of troops from Gaoyang to Baoding, so there were only about two hundred devils in Gaoyang City, and the puppet army was about six or seven hundred." Zhou Wenxuan next to him hurriedly replied.

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Just such a small number of troops are not enough for us to stuff our teeth." ”

Liu Hong frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, after all, the little devil has the city fortifications to rely on, not to mention that this time is different from the last time, last time it was a sneak attack, and this time it is indeed a strong attack." Moreover, this battle must be resolved quickly, and if it drags on for too long, it will be very detrimental to us. ”

Zhao Lei couldn't wait to say: "Captain, now that the troops are ready for battle, just wait for your order." Ask the captain to give the order! We promise to take the county seat of Gaoyang in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Hong turned to Wu Feng and asked, "Is there any movement of the little devil in the direction of Baoding?" ”

Wu Feng hurriedly replied, "According to the scout's report, there is no movement at the moment. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's fight!" Artillery squadrons were ordered to concentrate fire on the city fortifications of the little devils, and the infantry squadrons were ready to attack. ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

After Zhao Lei, Zhou Wenxuan and others received the order, they left in a hurry.

Liu Hong turned to Wu Feng and said: "The patience of the little devil is not bad, he can bear it, Lao Tzu wants to see how long they can endure it this time." ”

Wu Feng said with a smile: "It's good for them to endure for a while, we can take the opportunity to kill some more devils' turret strongholds and capture a few more of his county seats." ”

"Haha~!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "Not bad! Then let them continue to endure it! "At this moment, the rumbling of artillery from the artillery positions sounded.
