Gangcun Ning Ci angrily scolded loudly: "Bagaya Road! The imperial army of a detachment was wiped out by a group of rebels and Tubalu with 5,000 people, which is simply a shame for the imperial army, a great shame! ”

Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly reassured: "Your Excellency Commander is angry, and I think this is a complete accident. ”

Gangmura Ninji said angrily: "Don't use this as a reason to justify that fool Yamazaki Yusuke, a brigade of imperial troops besieging a brigade of the rebellious imperial alliance army ended in a fiasco, even if it was a pig to command this battle, it would not be possible to lose so badly!" ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly answered, too frightened to speak anymore.

Gangcun Ningci scolded angrily, the anger in his heart finally disappeared a little, it was useless not to dissipate, anyway, it had already happened, and it was useless to say anything.

Gangcun Ningci frowned and thought for a while and said, "Notify the imperial army near Hengshui and closely monitor every move of the army in Hengshui City." ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-three hurriedly responded, and then asked, "Your Excellency Commander, do you want to continue to transfer troops to attack Hengshui?" ”

Gangcun Ningci frowned and said: "Now the main strength of the imperial army is used in the battlefields of Shandong and Shanxi, and the troops in the central Hebei region are limited, and it is impossible to draw enough troops to counterattack Hengshui in a short period of time. ”

Gangcun Ningci paused for a moment, and then continued: "What's more, the situation in Hengshui City is unknown, and the imperial army is not good to attack rashly, last time we were because we underestimated these people too much, so we suffered this fiasco, we can't make the same mistake again, let's find out the situation in Hengshui first!" ”

"Hello! Your Excellency the Commander is wise. Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly replied.

On the morning of the next day, Gangmura Ningji had just come to the headquarters, and Anda Twenty-three came to the door.

Gangmura Ningji sat in his place, frowned and asked, "Anda-kun, but what is the latest information?" ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-three hurriedly responded: "I just received the latest information from the Shenxian Imperial Army, according to the investigation of the Imperial Army, the Zhina army in Hengshui suddenly retreated last night, and its current whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Retreated?" Gangmura Ningji asked with a frown.

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three answered with certainty.

"What do you mean by unaccounted for? Can they still put on wings and fly into the sky? Gangmura Ningji asked angrily.

"Well~!" Anda Twenty-three said hesitantly: "They should have retreated to the countryside and hidden, as for the specific location of hiding, it has not yet been ascertained, but the imperial army is stepping up the investigation, I believe they will be found soon." ”

"Humph!" Gangcun Ningji snorted coldly, and then asked, "Then how is their current situation?" I want accurate, exact information. ”

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, although the Yamazaki detachment in the First Battle of Hengshui suffered heavy losses, the losses of the Chinese army were not small, according to the comprehensive intelligence from all sides, there are more than 1,000 people left in these Chinese people at most, and they are all defeated by a group of remnants." Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly replied.

Anda Twenty-three had just finished speaking, and hurriedly added: "Moreover, they are in such a hurry to withdraw from Hengshui City, which also proves that they must have little strength left, so they don't dare to stay in Hengshui, and they don't even dare to stay for one more day, so they retreat overnight." ”

"Yo Xi!" Gangcun Ningji nodded, and then said: "But this branch army is not simple! It was able to defeat the Yamazaki detachment, so we must not take it lightly. However, at present, the imperial army is unable to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, so I order the local garrison to find this Tuba Road as soon as possible and closely monitor their every move, and I want to keep abreast of their movements so that I can mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them in the future. ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly replied.

Gangcun Ningji continued: "In addition, immediately mobilize troops to reoccupy Hengshui, and announce to the outside world that we have completely annihilated the rebels, and only a small number of fish have escaped, and the imperial army is currently stepping up encirclement and suppression. This time we have already failed militarily, but politically we must not fail, you understand. ”

"Hello! Humble duty understands! Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly responded, and then asked cautiously: "Is the news of Yamazaki Yusuke's broken jade announced at the same time?" ”

"Announce it! You can't hide it. Let's just say that our Major General Yamazaki Yusuke, regardless of everyone's safety, went to the front line to direct the Imperial Army to exterminate the rebels, but unfortunately the jade was broken. In short, we must highlight the heroic and fearless spirit of the high-ranking generals of our Imperial Japanese Army, and we must not lose the face of our Imperial Japanese Army. Gangcun Ningji said impatiently.

"Hello! Humble duty understood. Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly answered, then turned and left.

……

Last night, Liu Hong had quietly withdrawn from Hengshui with all the troops in Hengshui City, and hid in a remote small village under the arrangement of the local underground party.

This place is located in the middle of nowhere, it was a fortress village of the Eighth Route Army before, and the mass base is good, because the village is small and poor, and the road is difficult to walk, so the little devils rarely come here to sweep.

Liu Hong arranged for the members of the martial arts team to arrange the guard post within ten miles of the surrounding area in case of accidents, so it is safe to hide here for the time being.

However, this is not a place to stay for a long time after all, and it has been a while since he left Gaoguantun, Liu Hong is inevitably a little worried, so Liu Hong ordered Zhao Lei to take the first squadron and escort a batch of supplies back to Gaoguantun first.

The troops spent three days peacefully in the village, and on this day Liu Hong received the latest instructions from the headquarters, and after reading the telegram, Liu Hong took the telegram to find Zhao Jinglin.

After the doctor's full treatment, Zhao Jinglin and Chief of Staff Zhu Yaohui were both out of danger of life, but because the injury was too serious, they could not recover in a short time, but after a few days of observation, the wound was not infected and had passed the most dangerous period.

When Liu Hong came to Zhao Jinglin's room, Zhao Jinglin was lying on the bed, flipping through this booklet.

Liu Hong smiled and asked, "Deputy Brigade Commander Zhao, what are you looking at?" It's so fascinating. ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled and said: "It is the guerrilla warfare manual of our Eighth Route Army, in the current situation, our Eighth Route Army is still mainly based on guerrilla warfare, I will study it first, it is better than cramming at that time." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "That's something you have to study carefully, and it can come in handy in the future." ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled and nodded, put the booklet on the bedside, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything Captain Liu looking for me?" ”
