Chapter 53: Whatever It Takes
Commander Lu frowned and thought for a while and said, "Since this Liu Hong dares to infiltrate the devil's forward base alone, he must also be a bold guy, maybe this kid really dares to bomb the devil's heavy artillery position." ”
The chief of staff frowned and said worriedly: "The devil's heavy artillery position is not so easy to bomb!" First, the little devils are heavily guarded, and secondly, in order to prevent being bombed, the devil's cannons will be separated by a certain distance, so that if they want to blow up the artillery position, they can only blow up one cannon and one cannon, and they only have three people, even if they successfully infiltrate the devil's artillery position, they will not be able to complete this task. ”
Commander Lu nodded and said: "The key is that the devil's forward base has been bombed, and the devil's heavy artillery lacks ammunition, so it has become a pile of scrap metal, which does not pose much of a threat to us, so there is no need for us to risk blowing it up again." Although I haven't seen Liu Hong, just because he can blow up the devil's forward base alone, it is enough to show that this person is definitely a rare talent, and we should cherish such a talent, and we must not let him die in vain. ”
The chief of staff sighed softly and said, "It's just a pity that we can't get in touch with them at all now. ”
Commander Lu said anxiously: "Then we have to find a way to find them back, notify the local liaison officers to find them at all costs, and immediately let them report to the headquarters, just say that this is my order." ”
"Yes!" The chief of staff hurriedly responded.
"Wait!" Commander Lu hurriedly stopped the chief of staff and asked, "You just said that Liu Hong is from the special service battalion of the Eighth Army Division. ”
"Hmm!" The chief of staff nodded and said, "Liu Hong himself said so, we haven't confirmed it yet." ”
Commander Lu thought for a while and said: "Immediately send a telegram to the Eighth Army Division, ordering the special service battalion to dispatch an elite detachment to pick up Liu Hong and the other three near Lijiazhuang, and rescue them at all costs." ”
"Yes! I'll do it! The chief of staff answered, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, and said with some uncertainty: "Commander, I suddenly remembered something." ”
"What's the matter?" Commander Lu asked.
The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "Commander, do you remember that we received news a few days ago that Maeda Masaji of Kawama Castle was assassinated and his head was cut off. At that time, the little devil hung Lao Chang's head on the city gate tower to show the public, but it was unknowingly replaced by Maeda Masaji's head. ”
Commander Lu nodded and said: "How can you not remember, this Maeda Masaji is our old opponent, and he died like this, which is cheap for this old devil, but this move is tantamount to a slap in the face of the Japanese army, which is really happy!" I don't know who did it, but I was able to assassinate Masaji Maeda unknowingly. ”
Speaking of this, Commander Lu seemed to think of something, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he paused for a moment before continuing: "You mean to say that Maeda Masaji was also killed by this Liu Hong?" ”
The chief of staff shook his head and said: "It's not certain at the moment, it's just that Liu Hong is from the Eighth Army Division, and according to him, he went south to find the main force, which means that he just came from Hejian Xian County." And since this kid was able to blow up the devil's advance base unknowingly, he was able to escape in the end, and maybe he could sneak into the river quietly and kill Masaji Maeda. ”
Commander Lu nodded and said, "A few days ago, Liu Hong should have been in the area of Hejian and Xian County at that time, I think this is definitely not a coincidence, maybe this kid really did it." If that's the case, then he can't die even more. Now our army has been defeated in successive battles, suffered heavy losses, and its morale is low. It is precisely the need for such a heroic figure to motivate morale, and a talent like this is definitely rare and unattainable, you go and arrange it immediately, and bring this Liu Hong back safely no matter what. ”
"Yes!" The chief of staff hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.
……
As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Hong took Bai Ling and Zhao Lei to a cemetery about a mile away from the road, there were dozens of graves in the cemetery, overgrown with weeds, easy to hide, and the three of them hid in it, and it was difficult to be discovered.
Bai Ling frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you go to kill Yoshitaro Hayashi?" What are you bringing us here for? ”
Liu Hong smiled and explained: "It's not so easy to kill Yoshitaro Hayashi, you have to have a careful plan, and a slight mistake can lead to the failure of the mission." ”
Bai Ling said impatiently: "Do you have a way to stop selling it?" ”
Liu Hong patiently explained: "At present, our main force is breaking through to the west, and according to Zhao Lei, the independent seventh brigade has also been pursuing westward, and it has probably reached a position thirty or forty miles west of Lijiazhuang, and it will definitely continue to pursue westward." As the brigade commander of the Seventh Independent Brigade, in order to facilitate the command of the troops, Hayashi Yoshitaro will definitely not be too far away from their main force, which means that he will definitely continue to go west to meet their main force, and this is the way Hayashi Yoshitaro must pass. Liu Hong said, raised his hand and pointed to the road in the distance.
This road runs from east to west, and in the east direction of the cemetery, there is a dirt road extending to the north about 400 meters, and it is on this dirt road, about a mile away from the road, that is, there is a devil's checkpoint in the place facing the cemetery, where there are eleven little devils guarding, there is no checkpoint on this section of the road, because there are often devils' troops passing by on the road, there are devil troops going to the front line, and there are also wounded soldiers coming down from the front line.
Zhao Lei frowned and asked, "Is it possible that you want to do it here, there are so many devils, how can you do it?" ”
Liu Hong said helplessly: "It is precisely because of this kind of place that Lin Fangtaro will relax his vigilance. You also know that there are more than 100 guards around Yoshitaro Hayashi, plus the people from the brigade headquarters, there must be at least more than 200 people, so it is difficult for us to get close to Hayashi Yoshitaro. What we have to do now is to force them to stop when Yoshitaro Hayashi and the others pass by, and if I can lure this old devil to show up, I can be sure to kill him with one shot. ”
"Forcing them to stop?" Bai Ling frowned and said with a look of embarrassment: "Can the three of us stop them?" ”
"Please, can you use your brains and stop it? Don't say that you can't stop it, even if you stop it, when the battle starts, will Hayashi Fangtaro still dare to show his head? Liu Hong said speechlessly.
