After Liu Hong received the news, he guessed that there must be some new instructions from the headquarters, so he hurried back to the headquarters, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask: "Does the headquarters have any new instructions?" ”

Wu Feng saw that Liu Hong was back, so he hurriedly greeted him and handed Liu Hong a telegram in his hand, Liu Hong took the telegram and read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Wu Feng said with a serious face: "This is a telegram just sent by the headquarters, the devil has mobilized 100,000 elite troops to launch a sweep of my Shandong base area. ”

Liu Hong nodded slightly and said, "Hmm! The meaning of the headquarters is to let us try to break the Jinpu Railway, the Jinpu Railway is the main artery of north-south transportation, and the little devils in Shandong mainly rely on this railway line to transport all kinds of materials and even soldiers to the Shandong front line in a steady stream, if we can destroy this railway line, we can greatly slow down the speed of devil transportation, so that we can effectively relieve the pressure on friendly forces in Shandong. ”

"Hmm!" Wu Feng nodded and said, "So you agree?" ”

"Nonsense! This is an order from the command, can we disobey it? Liu Hong said angrily.

Wu Feng smiled and said: "The command's order is true, but it is not a dead order, the command just asks us to look for opportunities to destroy the railway, if we don't have the opportunity, we can't force it!" ”

Liu Hong smiled and said: "As long as you are willing to look for it, there will be a chance, the army has not fought for a while, just take the brothers out to go around, fight the autumn wind of the little devil, otherwise we will all run out of food." ”

Wu Feng said with a wry smile: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot, the number of troops is increasing, and the consumption of this food is also increasing, and there is indeed not much food left." ”

Liu Hong frowned and groaned for a while, and then said: "Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately, asking the headquarters to provide intelligence support, we need the specific time when the train for the Japanese army to transport supplies will pass near Cangzhou." ”

Wu Feng frowned and asked, "Are you going to intercept the devil's military column?" ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "Not bad!" After intercepting the devil's military train, the devil's supplies will naturally not be able to reach the front line, and we can also take the opportunity to blow up the railway, so that the task assigned by the command will be completed. The most important point is that we can also take the opportunity to make a small fortune, if there is food in the car, it will be even better, and our food problem will also be solved, wouldn't it be more than one stone? ”

"Or are you thoughtful, but will there be information on the Devil Army on the side of the headquarters?" Wu Feng said with a smile.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "It's hard to say this, although our underground party is pervasive, and there must be our people in the railway department, but whether they can convey the news to the headquarters in time and then pass it on to us, it is not necessarily." And this kind of thing is not good to do in the daytime, along the railway line is the key defense area of the devil, and the central Hebei region is an endless plain, it is easy to be exposed during the day, and if you startle the snake, it will be more difficult to have a chance in the future, so this time you must hit with one blow. Taking all factors into consideration, whether this can be done depends on luck. ”

"Oh well! I'm going to have someone call back to the headquarters. Wu Feng nodded and said.

"Wait!" Liu Hong stopped Wu Feng and said with a serious face: "I plan to take the martial arts team to set off tomorrow afternoon, you inform me to let the martial arts team prepare." You take the new barracks and are responsible for staying in Gaoguantun Village. ”

"Am I staying?" Wu Feng couldn't help frowning, obviously dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "The soldiers of the new battalion are our hope, and Gaoguantun Village is our foundation, this burden is not light!" I can only rest assured if you stay behind, so this difficult and glorious task can only be entrusted to you. ”

Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh softly, and said helplessly: "You said so, what else can I say?" I shouldn't have been the commander of this recruit battalion if I had known that. ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "You kid is cheap and obedient, what's wrong with the new barracks?" Anyway, you are also the battalion commander now, and compared to your previous deputy company commander, you are still not happy when you are promoted to three levels in the company. ”

"Come on!" Wu Feng waved his hand and said: "You don't coax me with this, this battalion commander is not sealed by you, and the superiors will not admit it, so I, the battalion commander, am not a real battalion-level cadre at all, I am happy!" ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "What's this?" As long as you work hard, it won't be a matter of time before you become a battalion commander! ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you about these useless things, I'll send a telegram." Wu Feng shook his head and walked towards the confidential room dejectedly.

Liu Hong shook his head with a smile and said casually, "This kid." Then he lowered his head and his eyes fell on the map on the table.

This time if you want to attack the Jinpu Railway, it is not an easy thing to rob the military column of the devils, the most important thing is intelligence, as long as there is accurate information, this operation is half the success, and the problem of intelligence can only be handed over to the headquarters to find a way. The second is to choose a suitable location, which is directly related to the success or failure of the mission, and it is also sloppy.

Liu Hong looked at the map and frowned, his eyes slowly swept along the Jinpu railway line on the map, looking for a suitable place to start, and soon Liu Hong wrote down a few locations in his mind as alternatives, because only with this military map, there is not much information at all, and a suitable location must be finally determined after on-site reconnaissance.

Liu Hong casually ordered: "Go and call Zhao Lei, Bai Ling and Zhou Wenxuan over to me immediately, and say that I have an important task to explain." ”

"Yes!" A soldier next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and hurriedly ran away.

It didn't take long for the three of them to come to the headquarters one after another, Liu Hong beckoned the three of them to sit down, and then briefly introduced the orders of the headquarters and his plans to them.

Liu Hong said with a serious face: "This mission is very important, and we only have one chance, once we startle the snake, the consequences are unimaginable, so this operation can only succeed, not fail." Tomorrow afternoon, the three of you will set off with the main force of the armed engineering team and rush to the area along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway to be on covert standby, and I will lead the scouts to set off in advance to reconnoiter the terrain, and I will inform you in time after the location of the operation is determined. On the way, you must pass through the stronghold of the devils, you must be cautious, you must not pay attention to the devils, but also avoid conflicts with the devils, in short, we must quietly rush to the vicinity of the Jinpu railway line. ”

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. The three of them replied in unison.
