After three days of continuous fighting, the Wugong team successively uprooted nine strongholds and achieved considerable results, but after continuous battles, the troops were already a little tired from running back and forth.

So Liu Hong ordered the troops to rest for a day, and Akita Kiyomasa led the troops to the Xinxing Town stronghold overnight to set up an ambush, but after waiting for another day, he still didn't see a shadow of the Eighth Route Army, and Akita Qingzheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

However, Akita Kiyomasa did not give up, and in his opinion, the martial arts team would attack the Xinxing Town stronghold sooner or later, so he decided to die in the Xinxing Town stronghold.

However, how did he know that at this time, the martial arts team had already learned the news that Akita Kiyomasa had led his troops to leave the river.

The news came from the underground party in Hejian City, but they didn't know where this little devil went.

After Liu Hong received the news, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly called a meeting to study countermeasures.

Liu Hong briefly introduced the situation to everyone, and then said: "This is the thing, Akita Kiyomasa gathered about a large group of troops, left the river, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Did you transfer to Cangzhou?" Wu Feng said with a frown.

Liu Hong frowned and said: "According to the news from Cangzhou, this group of little devils has not entered Cangzhou City, we have been attacking the strongholds around Cangzhou now, maybe this group of little devils is hiding somewhere, waiting for work, waiting to ambush us." ”

"His grandmother's, these little devils have also learned well, and they have actually learned to play yin." Zhao Lei scolded angrily.

Zhou Wenxuan opened his mouth and said: "The little devil is also forced to be helpless!" They can't muster enough troops to deal with our military engineering team now, so they will think of this method and prepare to ambush us. ”

Liu Hong nodded thoughtfully and said: "The top priority now is to determine the specific location of this group of little devils, according to our next plan, we will attack the stronghold of Xinxing Town and the stronghold of Zhifangtou, I guess most of the little devils will wait for us from these two places." ”

Zhou Wenxuan stretched out his finger and pointed to the map and said: "Our scouts have been dispatched, focusing on the two places of Xinxing Town and Zhifangtou, but due to the distance, it is estimated that the news will not be transmitted back until tomorrow." ”

"So, tomorrow's mission is going to be canceled again?" Zhao Lei said with a frown.

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "The little devil has already started to act, we can't act rashly, if we can solve this little devil first, the rest of the things will be much easier." ”

Bai Ling suddenly said: "Since Akita Kiyomasa has left Hejian, then Hejian City must be empty, can we attack Hejian directly, after the little devil gets the news, he will definitely return to help Hejian, and at that time, we can ambush halfway and defeat this little devil." ”

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I think that's it." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said: "Although this idea is good, if we attack Kawama, Akita Kiyomasa will definitely know that their conspiracy has been revealed, and he will definitely be on guard at that time." Even if there are other tricks, if there are other changes at that time, it will not be good. ”

"So, what better way do you have it?" Bai Ling asked with a frown.

Liu Hong shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, but since the little devils want to play, why don't we just plan and have fun with them." ”

Zhou Wenxuan seemed to understand what Liu Hong meant, and asked with a smile: "What the captain means, we still pretend not to know and deliberately play tricks on the little devils." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded with a sneer and said, "I also want to see how good patience this Akita Kiyomasa is." ”

Zhou Wenxuan shook his head and said, "It's a misfortune for a little devil to have such an opponent as you!" ”

"Less nonsense!" Liu Hong said with a serious face: "Notify all troops immediately, prepare in advance, and set off tomorrow." ”

"But I don't know where the little devil is? Where are we going? Wu Feng asked with a frown.

"The news will come back tomorrow, and we will act on the opportunity." Liu Hong said with a sneer.

Early the next morning, Liu Hong received news from the scouts that a large number of little devils were found lurking near the stronghold of Xinxing Town, and everything was normal in the direction of Zhifangtou, but the little devils added a squadron to the Zhifangtou stronghold.

After Liu Hong got the news, he directly ordered the troops to attack the stronghold of the paper house.

At noon that day, the main force of the martial arts team rushed to the head of the paper house. The troops did not have time to rest, so Liu Hong directly issued a combat order.

Liu Hong said with a serious face: "Order, the artillery team immediately built an artillery position, and then launched an artillery bombardment on the Zhifangtou stronghold to destroy its artillery tower and other main fortifications, and ordered the second squadron to bypass the Zhifangtou stronghold and be responsible for blocking the reinforcements in the direction of Cangzhou, the first squadron and the second squadron are responsible for the attack, and the new battalion is a reserve, ready to join the battle at any time." ”

"Yes!" Wu Feng and the others responded in unison.

It didn't take long for the artillery squadron's artillery squadron to take the lead in its might, with two mountain guns, four 92 infantry guns, and 12 mortars bombarding the stronghold at the head of the paper house.

In just a few minutes, the artillery tower in the stronghold was completely blown up, and most of the fortifications built by the little devils were also destroyed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

In the sound of the loud trumpet of the charge, hundreds of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army launched a fierce attack on the stronghold of Zhifangtou from two directions.

Under the suppression of powerful firepower, the little devils could not stop the fierce fortifications of the Wugong team, and the defense line was quickly broken through, after a fierce battle, more than 200 little devils and more than 100 puppet troops in the stronghold were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Wugong team successfully took out the stronghold of the paper house.

After receiving the news that Zhifangtou was besieged, the little devils in Cangzhou hurriedly sent two squadrons of troops to rush to help, but they were stubbornly blocked by the second squadron led by Bai Ling on the way.

The little devil launched several charges, with dozens of casualties, and was never able to break through the defense line of the second squadron.

As soon as the little devil at the head of the paper house found the martial arts team, the news spread to Akita Kiyomasa in Xinxing Town.

Akita scolded angrily, thinking that Xinxing Town was in the northwest of Cangzhou, and Zhifangtou was in the southwest of Cangzhou, and the two places were separated by dozens of miles.

However, they can't sit idly by, Akita Kiyomasa's eyes suddenly lit up, and his mind was scheming. A sneer couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, thinking that he had finally found a way to deal with the martial arts team.
