After lunch, the little devil was still wandering around the Taihang Mountains without purpose, and the reconnaissance plane also flew over Liao Fan's station seven or eight times. Liao Fan sat on the chair and dozed off after eating, while the three regiment leaders gathered around Liao Fan, anxious. But Liao Fan gave another death order, as long as he didn't hear the gunshots, no one was allowed to disturb him.

"Brother Fan, there is a situation!" A scout ran into the command to report.

"Why, the big army of the little devils has moved." Hu Guoshan was more anxious than Liao Fan.

"No, it seems that the Eighth Route Army has exchanged fire with the little devils, the Eighth Route Army probably has a battalion of troops, surrounded a reconnaissance team of the Japanese army, and the vanguard of the little devils is going to support." The Scout recounted what had just happened.

"Okay, let's investigate again." Liao Fan is still not in a hurry.

"Brother Fan, should we go and support, the Eighth Route Army only has a battalion of troops, and it may be a loss." Ma Wanzhong asked.

"No, I'm afraid Master Chen is also fishing, and I guess I am reluctant to let the little devil eat this bait." Liao Fan believes in Commander Chen's command ability, as an outstanding military strategist, he will definitely not fall for the little devil.

However, Liao Fan really guessed the intention of Master Chen, and Master Chen detected that the little devil had been in the mountain for most of the day, and there was no movement, and Master Chen couldn't sit still. Since I came, I didn't express it to you, and I really thought I was traveling to China. Moreover, this little devil's reconnaissance team inadvertently got into the arms of the Eighth Route Army, and when they found out that the situation was wrong, Division Commander Chen had already sent a battalion of soldiers to quietly surround them.

The vanguard of the little devils, more than 2,000 people, quickly moved closer to the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, and sent a telegram to inform the large troops in the county, asking them to support at any time. But the little devils underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army too much, and before the reinforcements arrived, a small team of little devils was completely wiped out.

"Report to Brother Fan, the gunfire on the side of the Eighth Route Army has stopped, but the vanguard of the little devil has no intention of giving up support, and it is estimated that it will be able to meet the Eighth Route Army in half an hour." Scout Report.

"Is there any movement in the big army of the little devils?" Liao Fan was staring at the big army of the little devils, once the big army of the little devils all rushed in the direction of the Eighth Route Army, not only was Division Commander Chen and them in danger, but all Liao Fan's plans fell through.

"Report to Brother Fan, the little devil's large army left the county town in three ways and moved in the direction of the Eighth Route Army station." A scout report.

"Map!" Liao Fan finally waited for this moment, although the little devil's plan of action was not the same as he expected, but the little devil finally moved, as long as the little devil moved, he could arrange the next plan.

Hu Guoshan spread the map on the table, and several people gathered around.

"Tell me, these three Japanese troops, and that one is the main force of the little devils." Liao Fan marked the route of the little devil's attack on the Eighth Route Army on the map.

"I think the little devil should put his troops in the middle, after all, the middle lane will face the main force of the entire Eighth Route Army." Li Weimin said.

"Otherwise, the main target of the little devil is not the Eighth Route Army, and the strength of the little devil plus the puppet army has sixty or seventy thousand people, and there are a lot of troops on average on each road, and the vanguard of the little devil can completely pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army, as long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army can be entangled, the little devil can completely surround them as long as he sends another 10,000 troops."

"Ma Wanzhong's analysis is very correct, the main force of the little devil will definitely be on the south road, I guess there should be 40,000 troops, and the middle and north roads together will not exceed 30,000 people." Liao Fan nodded his approval of Ma Wanzhong's analysis.

"Brother Fan means that the little devil is guarding us?" Lao Hu asked.

"Yes, the little devil already knows about our existence, but he doesn't know where we are, the little devil is in the light, and we are in the dark. When they attacked the Eighth Route Army, of course, they had to guard against our sudden attack on them, although they had a huge advantage in terms of strength, but the little devils didn't know how many of us were. ”

"Brother Fan, what should we do next, we can't just watch the Eighth Route Army surrounded by little devils." Li Weimin said.

"Don't worry about this, Master Chen, their tactics are different from ours, so they won't fight positional warfare like us." Liao Fan knew very well that the Eighth Route Army would fight guerrilla warfare with the little devils in the mountains next, consuming the devils' vital strength and preserving their own strength.

"Then we can't do nothing, we must at least lure the little devils over, otherwise the pressure on the Eighth Route Army will be too great." Li Weimin was worried that the little devil would pounce on the Eighth Route Army with all his might, and there would be no use for any strategy and tactics at that time.

Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan also nodded, expressing their agreement with Li Weimin's opinion, and now their relationship with the Eighth Route Army is a relationship of lip and tooth.

Of course, Liao Fan knows the stakes in this, and he can't watch the Eighth Route Army in danger, just like Division Commander Chen, they can't watch Liao Fan in distress: "When it gets dark, even if the big army of the little devils speeds up, according to the time of this season, when they enter the mountain, it will already be dark, as long as they wait until it gets dark, the threat of the little devils to the Eighth Route Army can be reduced by half, and this is also the time when we take the initiative to attack and lead the little devils to take the bait." ”

Sure enough, half an hour later, the scout came back with the latest situation, and everything was the same as Liao Fan's analysis. The big army of the little devils is very slow, their purpose is not to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, but to eliminate all the anti-Japanese armed forces in Taihang Mountain, so they only sent 20,000 troops to go, although the rest of the little devils are very actively prepared, discerning people can see at a glance that the main force of the little devils is thunder and rain.

In the Taihang Mountain area in autumn, it gets dark very quickly, and the little devil has not yet made arrangements for attacking, and the sun has already set. At this time, the power hidden around the little devils was about to move, and everyone wanted to tear off a piece of fat from them, but this piece of fat was too big, and it was still a piece of fat that would bite people.

"Brother Fan, the one who just attacked the little devil's camp should be the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army." Li Weimin quietly climbed to Liao Fan's side, "But the gunfire is far away from us, and there should be no troops of the Eighth Route Army around us." ”

Liao Fan then looked at his watch in the moonlight, it was almost early in the morning, and the little devil's camp was still brightly lit, and there was no need to rest.

"Brother Fan, do we want to act now?" Li Weimin saw that Liao Fan didn't speak, so he took the initiative to ask.

"How's the preparation for what I asked you to prepare?" Liao Fan asked.

"I've got the fifth company ready." Li Weimin followed Liao Fan out with two battalions of soldiers.

"Let's wait another hour, and if the little devil doesn't sleep, we'll retreat." Liao Fan now wants to entangle with the little devil at all.

"Ahh Then we didn't prepare in vain. Li Weimin thought that following Liao Fan out tonight would be able to take a good job of beating the little devil to relieve the tension of the past few days.

"Don't talk nonsense, stare honestly, I'll sleep for a while." After Liao Fan finished speaking, he found a shelter from the wind and dozed off.

But before Liao Fan fell asleep, Li Weimin ran over: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan." ”
