Hearing this, Anda Twenty-Three couldn't help frowning, and said with a worried expression: "Your Excellency Commander is worried that Tubalu will suddenly cancel this plan?" ”

Gangmura Ningji shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not too worried about this. The Eighth Route Army's decision to return to the central Hebei region must have made up its mind, and under normal circumstances, it would not give up easily. ”

Gangcun Ningci paused slightly, and then said: "What I'm worried about is that if these cunning Tuba Roads succeed in breaking through the Pinghan Railway like last time, not only will the imperial army lose face, but the situation in Jizhong will further deteriorate. All the efforts made by the Imperial Army before will also be in vain. ”

Anda Twenty-Three frowned and said, "Hay! His Excellency the Commander said that these dirt roads have always been cunning, and we can never guess what kind of intrigue they will use. If it weren't for the fact that they were too cunning to fight the Imperial Army head-on, the Imperial Army would have wiped them out long ago, even if there were more dirt roads. ”

Gangcun Ningji nodded slightly and said, "In view of the cunning and cunning of the Eight Roads, we must be more careful. The order was sent down, ordering the 110th Division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, as well as the garrisons along the Pinghan Railway, to strengthen their vigilance and prevent the Tuba Road from passing through the Pinghan Railway at all costs. ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three respectfully responded.

……

Gao Guantun, inside the headquarters of the military engineering team.

Wu Feng took the kettle and poured two glasses of water and handed one of them to Liu Hong. Wu Feng said: "According to the plan, all units are ready, and the main force of the 11th Regiment will be taught to act with us, and leave the base area early tomorrow morning and rush to the Pinghan Railway." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and asked casually, "How is the situation in Xian County?" ”

Wu Feng replied with a smile: "Everything is normal, and the little devils in the vicinity have not moved, and it seems that they really don't plan to counterattack Xianxian." ”

Liu Hong sneered and said: "I always feel that there is something strange here, the little devil is not playing any tricks!" ”

"Probably not!" Wu Feng said with some uncertainty.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "If something goes wrong, it is a demon, and the little devil's current behavior is really incomprehensible." But then again, as long as we are on our guard, there's nothing to worry about. ”

At this moment, a correspondent hurriedly walked over, stood up and raised his hand to salute a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the captain, the Jinchaji Military Region Headquarters is in an emergency." As he spoke, he handed over a telegram.

Hearing this, Liu Hong hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it carefully, and when he saw the content of the telegram, Liu Hong couldn't help frowning deeply, and couldn't help but show a trace of anger on his face.

Wu Feng saw that Liu Hong's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Hong frowned and said: "The telegram from the headquarters said that the news of the return of the main force to Jizhong was leaked in advance, and it should be that there were traitors inside, and the headquarters is stepping up the investigation." However, due to intelligence leaks, the Japanese army has gathered the 110th Division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade to assemble along the railway line from Shimen to Baoding. ”

Wu Feng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said with a worried face: "A division and an independent mixed brigade, this is more than 20,000 little devils. The little devil has mobilized so many troops, and now it's a bit of trouble. Could it be that the command intends to cancel this plan? ”

"Not really!" Liu Hong shook his head and said: "Now is the best time to return to Jizhong to rebuild the base area, and the headquarters is also determined to rebuild our Jizhong base area, how can we give up this opportunity, but in this way, it will be a little difficult for the main force to return to the Jizhong region, and the task on our shoulders will be heavier." ”

Wu Feng was obviously relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's good!" I thought the main force wasn't coming back! Even if the little devil is on guard, what can he do, with such a long Pinghan Railway, it is impossible for the little devil to defend like an iron plate, which is impermeable. ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Your kid's tone is getting bigger and bigger. Having said that, our main force has 20,000 people, how can it be so easy to ensure that so many people cross the Pinghan Railway safely! ”

Wu Feng said with a smile: "It's rare to see you have such a difficult time. ”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not worried about the safety of the main force!" But then again, there is nothing to worry about when the soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, so they still set off early tomorrow morning according to the original plan, and rush to the area along the Pinghan Railway as soon as possible, ready to take the main force home. ”

Wu Feng smiled and nodded, "Go home!" It's a good word. ”

Liu Hong suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "But in this way, we don't have to worry about the safety of the base area for the time being." It can be said that there is no worries! ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

Liu Hong explained with a smile: "You want to! The little devil knows the news, and now that he has mobilized so many troops and is ready to block our main force, where can he take care of us! ”

"That's just as well!" Wu Feng then understood, nodded and said, "You said that the little devil suddenly gave up the counterattack on Xianxian, is it also because of this reason?" ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "It should be." But no matter what, the little devil is destined to be disappointed again this time. ”

Early the next morning, before dawn, the main force of the martial arts team and the soldiers of the 11th Regiment urgently assembled, and after having breakfast in a hurry, they hurriedly left the station and marched all the way to the west.

This time, the main force planned to break through the Pinghan railway line between Shimen and Baoding and return to the central Hebei region.

And Liu Hong's task is to rush to this area, choose a suitable location, assist the main force, tear a hole in the devil's defense line, and take the main force back to the central Hebei region.

However, due to the leakage of intelligence, the devils were prepared in advance and mobilized the main force to block this area, which made the operation more difficult, but the soldiers of the martial arts team were full of confidence, and perhaps in their opinion, there was no battle in this world that they could not win.

After two days of rapid marching, Liu Hong and Zhang Zhicheng led their troops to the area near the Pinghan Railway, for the sake of safety, the troops did not dare to get too close to the railway line, because the railway line was originally a key defensive area for the devils, and the closer they were, the greater the chance of exposure.
