Huzi sneered and said: "What is our purpose, you don't have to know, you just need to do what we say, we will keep you fine, not to mention do you think you have any other choice now?" ”

Now that He Zhiyong and the others have fallen into the encirclement, they really have no other choice.

He Zhiyong's concern was nothing more than that he was afraid that Liu Hong had a conspiracy and wanted to deliberately lure them into being fooled, but now that they had fallen into the encirclement, there was no need for the independent regiment to do anything more.

In addition, He Zhiyong really didn't have the courage to be the enemy of the independent regiment, and it seemed that there was really no other choice.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" He Zhiyong still asked with some concern.

Huzi smiled and said, "Lie to you? What's in it for us? ”

"Alright then!" He Zhiyong reluctantly agreed.

Huzi smiled and said, "As soon as you attack, we will immediately retreat, and you can ask the little devil for credit." ”

Although He Zhiyong agreed, he was still a little worried, and then gave an order to send only one battalion of troops to attack.

He Zhiyong naturally did not dare to be the enemy of the independent regiment, and the puppet army of this battalion fired into the sky from a distance, and the momentum was quite sufficient.

As a result, as soon as the gunfire rang out here, the independent regiment really retreated.

In order to show his integrity, Liu Hong even withdrew all the troops surrounding the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade and withdrew to Shangyu Station together.

It was only then that He Zhiyong believed that Liu Hong did not lie to him, as Liu Hong said, this was a great achievement for him.

Although He Zhiyong is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will not be so stupid as to lose such a good opportunity for meritorious service in vain.

He immediately ordered the troops to gradually advance to Shangyu Station, but this old guy was still cautious, and this time he placed the guard post within a radius of ten miles, so that if they found anything wrong, it would be convenient for them to retreat.

While leading the troops to advance in the direction of Shangyu Station, He Zhiyong hurriedly asked the little devils for credit, saying that they had repelled the Independent Regiment, and now the Independent Regiment had withdrawn to Shangyu Station.

The news first reached Datong, and then by telegraph to the temporary headquarters of Anda 23.

At this time, Anda Twenty-three and his troops had been in ambush in the area of Wanggu Mountain for three full days, and according to their plan, they were supposed to wait for the independent regiment to send them to the door.

As a result, I suffered in vain in the deep mountains and old forests for several days, and I didn't even see a shadow of the eight roads.

When he learned that the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack on Datong, Anda Twenty-three chuckled in his heart and said secretly: This is broken!

Definitely an independent regiment! Except for Liu Hong, I'm afraid no one has the courage to do this.

Liu Hong did not disappoint him in the end, and soon got the exact news that it was Liu Hong's independent regiment that attacked Shangyu Station and approached Datong.

"Bagaya Road~!" Anda Twenty-Three was so angry that he scolded, his meticulous plan failed completely, and this old devil really had some difficulty accepting this cruel reality.

"Your Excellency the General's anger!" The devil officer next to him hurriedly persuaded.

"We wasted so many troops and material resources, but in the end we ended up with such a result, how can you make me not angry!" Anda roared in a roar.

"Your Excellency, General, the telegram says that the Separate Regiment has been repulsed." The devil officer hurriedly said.

"Repulsed? Repelled by whom? Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said.

"Mixed into a brigade by the 15th Independent Independent Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army?"

"Just rely on those fools to repel the independent regiment, I think the independent regiment took the initiative to retreat!" Anda Twenty-Three said coldly.

"Anyway, the Independent Regiment has indeed retreated, and at present, the main force of the Independent Regiment is thousands of people, all of whom are concentrated near Shangyu, and are confronting the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army!" The devil officer replied.

Anda Twenty-Three frowned and thought for a moment, and asked with some puzzlement, "Why did the Independent Regiment suddenly retreat?" Could it be that their real purpose is not to be in harmony? ”

"It is estimated that their attack on Datong is just a feint." The devil officer replied.

"Feints? A plan to save Zhao from Wei? Anda Twenty-Three asked with a frown.

"Hello! Your Excellency the Commander is wise! The devil officer hurriedly replied.

"In this case, their purpose is only to attract Saito-kun's troops back." Anda Twenty-Three said thoughtfully.

"But they ignored us." The devil officer reminded.

"But our plan has failed." Anda Twenty-Three said with a deep sigh.

"Now the main force of the Independent Regiment is still near Shangyu Station, if we go directly back to Shangyu Station, maybe there will be a chance." The devil officer reminded.

"Hey~!" Anda Twenty-Three sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that it can only be like this." ”

"Is the main force of the Independent Regiment really at Shangyu Station?"

"Hello! He Zhiyong, the commander of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade, personally reported to the imperial army that the independent regiment had about five or six thousand people, all of whom were near Shangyu Station. ”

"Is the information reliable?" Anda Twenty-Three asked with a frown.

"Absolutely reliable!" The devil officer replied.

"Yo Xi!" Anda Twenty-three nodded with satisfaction and said, "Immediately send an order, order the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade and the nearby Imperial Army to closely monitor the independent regiment's every move." ”

"Hello!"

"Immediately order the troops, assemble immediately, return to Datong, cut off the rear road of the independent regiment, and completely encircle and annihilate this hateful independent regiment near Shangyu Station." Anda Twenty-Three gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Anda Twenty-Three also hated Liu Hong so much that he vowed to eliminate the Independent Regiment and kill Liu Hong this time.

With Anda Twenty-Three's order, thousands of little devils who were ambushed in the vicinity of Wanggu Mountain immediately gathered quickly, and then hurriedly rushed back to Datong under the leadership of Anda Twenty-Three.

"Your Excellency General, a telegram from the commander of the Saito Division."

Anda Twenty-three took the telegram and glanced at it, and said casually: "Call back to Saito-kun immediately, let them continue to attack the Dohachi Road in Yangyuan, as for the affairs of Datong, they don't have to worry about it, there is only one independent regiment, just leave it to us." ”

"Hello!" The little devil replied respectfully, and turned to send a telegram.

Anda Twenty-three marched all the way with the devil, and constantly received information from He Zhiyong on the way, the content was basically the same, the independent regiment was still gathered near Shangyu, the independent regiment was rushing forward, and there seemed to be a problem with logistics and supply, and it was temporarily unable to launch a large-scale attack.

After receiving these news, Anda Twenty-Three was even more excited, thinking that it was finally time to wait for a good opportunity to eliminate the Independence Regiment.

"Humph! Liu Hong went deep alone, and he was doomed to fail! Anda Twenty-Three said proudly.
