After a while, the soldier took off his headphones again, handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Hong, and said, "Captain, Commander Zhang calls back." ”

Liu Hong nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it carefully, and the head of the regiment called back and said that everything would be done according to Liu Hong's plan.

After seeing this telegram, Liu Hong also put his mind at ease, nodded and handed the telegram to the soldier, and said casually: "It's been a night of fighting, presumably the soldiers are also tired, everyone take a rest first, and if there is any situation, report to me immediately." ”

"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly replied and put the telegram away for archiving.

After a while, Huzi hurriedly ran over, Liu Hong glanced up at Huzi, saw this guy with a smile on his face, and asked casually: "Looking at your expression, there should be good news." ”

Huzi said with a smile: "The captain is really clever. The scouts have just delivered the news that the main forces of the devils have all stopped near the Uma camp, resting on the spot, and are now burying the pot and preparing for breakfast. The dogs said they would enjoy it and eat a mouthful of hot food, while we had to nibble on dry food. ”

Liu Hong smiled and said: "You are also envious of people eating food, why is Lao Tzu hungry for you?" ”

"Not really, I just said it casually." Huzi said with a smile: "But the little devils actually stopped, and they are still in the mood to eat, which means that they should have given up!" ”

Liu Hong shook his head and said: "The little devil is also a human, he has been busy all night, and he is tired and hungry at this time, of course he has to eat and rest, which does not mean anything." I guess the devils are determined to eliminate our martial arts team, and they will definitely not give up easily, they have lost our traces now, so they will temporarily stop to rest, but we can't be careless, let the reconnaissance brothers work hard, and we must pay close attention to the movements of the devils. ”

"Yes!" Huzi hurriedly responded.

Liu Hong sighed slightly and said: "Now that the troops are ready, they will break through the Jinpu Railway tonight and retreat to the central Hebei region. But it's only morning, and there are still more than ten hours before dark, and these ten hours are the hardest, but as long as we get through these ten hours and persist until dark, we have nothing to fear. ”

Huzi said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, I am now looking forward to the little devil after he has eaten and drunk enough, and then he will have a good sleep, and it is best to sleep until dark, it will be perfect." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too!" But I'm afraid things are not so simple, take advantage of this time to be fine, take a good rest, recuperate enough, and maybe there will be a big battle to fight next. ”

"Yes!" Huzi hurriedly answered, ran to the side and took a nap against the big tree.

Time passed minute by minute, the little devil did stop to rest, but Endo Kanan did not rest, this old devil is old after all, his energy is limited, and he is staring at two dark circles at this time, and he can only rely on drinking tea to lift his spirits.

But even so, this old devil still refused to rest and continued to command the troops to search for the whereabouts of the main force of the martial arts team.

Although the main force of the devils was resting, Kanan Endo mobilized the reconnaissance planes of the army aviation to conduct uninterrupted reconnaissance within a radius of several tens of miles, and at the same time mobilized the Japanese puppet army in all the strongholds in the nearby area to conduct a careful search of all suspicious areas, and find out the whereabouts of the main force of the martial arts team at all costs.

The information of the search teams flew like snowflakes on Endo's desk, but almost none of them were the information that Endo needed, which made Endo's temper even more irritable.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, a devil officer hurriedly came to Endo Kanan with a telegram, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Report to Your Excellency General, I just received the latest information from the Luguan stronghold, about an hour ago, the imperial army of the Luguan stronghold, when conducting a search in the south of Luguan Township, was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and dozens of soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army were shattered. According to the preliminary judgment, it should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Hearing this, Endo Kanan suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Yaga! It's been more than an hour, why is it only reported now? ”

The devil officer hurriedly replied: "Report to Your Excellency, General, the imperial army in the stronghold did not have a radio station, and after the attack, it was forced to withdraw to the stronghold, and then called the county garrison, and then the county garrison sent a telegram to inform us, so the time was delayed." ”

"Hmph~!" Endo Kanan snorted coldly, and didn't bother to pursue this matter, so he hurriedly walked to the front of the map, pointed to the map and asked, "Is this here?" ”

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed at the map, and said: "The imperial army of the Luguan stronghold was attacked here, and according to the humble estimate, they should have encountered the peripheral guard troops of the Eighth Route Army, so it is inferred that the main force of the Wugong team should be in this area south of this place. ”

"Yo Xi!" Endo Kanan nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and asked with some uncertainty: "I remember that the reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Army should have reconnoitred this area, didn't it find anything suspicious?" ”

The devil officer hurriedly replied, "Report to Your Excellency General, the army aviation has not found anything abnormal. It's just that the dirt road is very cunning, even if you stop to rest, you will definitely hide in the woods or orchards, this season is the season when the trees are the most luxuriant, and it is not surprising that the imperial army's reconnaissance planes cannot find the hiding dirt road. ”

"Hmmm! You're right. Endo Kanan nodded slightly and said: "According to our previous analysis, the Tuba Road that appeared in the area of the Uma Camp last night should be just an elite detachment of the Martial Arts Team, and they deliberately confused the Imperial Army and lured the Imperial Army to the Uma Battalion. Most of their main forces retreated to the south, and according to the time, they would rush to the vicinity of Luguan Township at most. ”

Endo Kanan paused for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Judging from the intelligence of all aspects, most of the main forces of the martial arts team are hiding in the area south of Luguan, and immediately notify all troops, quickly assemble, and prepare to rush to the vicinity of Luguan Township to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's military engineering team. ”

"Your Excellency, General!" The devil officer frowned and said: "The imperial army has been searching and pursuing the martial arts team for the past few days, and has never had time to take a good rest, and last night was even more busy all night, and the soldiers were already exhausted, and they couldn't rest at all in just a few hours. And seeing that it's noon, it's the hottest time of the day, so how about waiting for noon and the weather getting cooler before setting off? ”
