Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the people present, and said with a serious face: "Since everyone has no opinion, then this matter is decided." Due to the time constraints, we had to go as soon as possible. Therefore, we have only one day to prepare, and tomorrow afternoon the troops will depart, and tomorrow night we will cross the Tianjin-Pudong railway line under the cover of night, and everyone will go back and prepare. ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, then got up one after another and left the headquarters one after another.

In the afternoon of the next day, after the main force of the armed engineering corps was assembled, Liu Hong transferred a group of people from the new barracks to supplement the squadrons, bringing the strength of each infantry squadron to about 400 people, three non-soldier squadrons plus an artillery squadron, as well as special combat teams, communications teams, guard teams, and other units directly under the brigades, bringing the total strength of the whole army to more than 1,600 people.

As a result, there are only about 500 people left in the new battalion left behind in Gaoguantun, and there are less than 1,000 people in total with the county brigade and district squad team mobilized by Secretary Lin from nearby.

However, at this time, the little devils in the central Hebei region have been frightened by the military engineering team, and they cannot mobilize enough troops to attack Gaoguantun in a short period of time, so the safety of Gaoguantun can still be guaranteed.

After the troops were assembled, Liu Hong led the troops to leave Gaoguantun Village and advance along a country road to the southeast.

Secretary Lin, Xu Zecheng and others sent the main force outside the village, watching the main force gradually move away, and then returned to Gaoguantun Village one after another.

Walking on the road, Xu Zecheng heard some soldiers discussing, frowned and said: "You don't need to be envious, as long as you train hard, you will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill devils in the future." The main force left, and we had no combat mission for the time being, but before leaving, the captain specially instructed that the training of the troops must not be left behind, so in the past few days, I have been given honest training to strive to be able to go to the battlefield and kill devils as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who were talking about it hurriedly responded in unison.

That night, Liu Hong led the troops to the Jinpu Railway, and Liu Hong lay in a bush and held a telescope to observe the situation in the distance.

Zhou Wenxuan, who was lying next to Liu Hong, introduced to Liu Hong: "We have already reconnoitred the terrain here in advance, and it is located between the two strongholds of the devils. But in about half an hour, a team of devil patrols will pass by, the devil's patrol is a squad of troops, there is a total of one person, you must avoid these little devils. ”

Liu Hong nodded slightly and said: "Time is enough, immediately notify the troops, order the troops to prepare, and immediately cross the railway line as fast as possible after receiving the order." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Wenxuan hurriedly answered, and then ordered a soldier to convey the order.

At this time, a soldier next to him frowned and said: "Captain, I don't think we need to wait at all, the patrol of the little devils is only eleven people, let's kill these little devils, can't we cross the railway boldly and boldly?" The little devils on both sides of the stronghold are not too strong, even if they are alarmed, they may not dare to come out, if they really dare to come out, it will be even better, we can just take the opportunity to destroy them. ”

Liu Hong shook his head and said: "Our mission this time is to go to Yanshan to assist the friendly forces in the battle, not to come to the artillery tower of the devils, even if we can eliminate one hundred and eighty little devils, it has no meaning to us, but it exposes our whereabouts." We are now crossing the railway line unknowingly, so that we can strike at the sweeping little devils by surprise and relieve the pressure on friendly forces. So now we have to hide our whereabouts as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the devils. ”

"Got it!" The warrior nodded.

Zhou Wenxuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distance, and said softly: "Captain, the little devil's patrol is here." ”

Liu Hong looked in the direction of Zhou Wenxuan's finger, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a group of little devils, lined up in a neat queue, walking from south to north.

Liu Hong hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a gesture to remind everyone to pay attention to concealment, and the surrounding soldiers lowered their heads one after another, hiding their entire bodies in the grass, and all the people also consciously closed their mouths, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of arousing the devil's idea, thus exposing their whereabouts.

The team of little devils quickly walked over, Liu Hong looked down at his watch, it was already twelve twenty at night, and this time period was relatively safe.

After a few minutes, after the little devil walked away, Liu Hong slowly raised his hand, waved it forward, and commanded softly: "Go!" ”

The messenger next to him immediately raised a small flag and waved it a few times at the back, and another messenger not far away also raised a small flag and waved it at the back, gradually conveying the order.

After Wu Feng received the order, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered the troops to set off, and the soldiers of the martial arts team lurking behind got up and ran quickly towards the railway line, but the team was very quiet, and the soldiers also tried their best to keep their footsteps low.

In the darkness, I saw a large black shadow, like a tide, surging onto the railway line, and then quickly crossed the railway line, all the way to the east.

After the main force had all crossed the railway line, Liu Hong and the soldiers in charge of the broken rear also left the hiding place, crossed the railway line, followed the team, and headed east.

Liu Hong led his troops on a rapid march all the way, and according to the planned route, they marched about 20 miles, and it was already more than three o'clock in the morning.

"Wu Feng!" Liu Hong shouted Wu Feng to his side, frowned and asked, "How far is it?" ”

Wu Feng hurriedly replied: "According to our plan, the troops will rest near Xiaoji Village, and it is estimated that there are still about seven or eight miles of land. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "After driving for so long, the soldiers are also tired and need to rest. But seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the troops must also pay attention to concealment to prevent being discovered by the little devils. ”

Wu Feng nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Captain, we have already sent people to reconnoiter before, northwest of Xiaoji Village, about three miles away from the village, where there is a large forest and a large area of saline-alkali land, few people usually come, enough for us to hide." And there are no devils' strongholds around more than ten miles, so it's still quite safe here. ”

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good!" Let the fighters speed up, rush to the place early, and rest in hid early. ”
