Zhou Wenxuan lay in the trench and observed the little devils outside, and saw that there were little devils coming over from the north, and the number of little devils was gathering more and more.

Zhou Wenxuan sneered and said, "Hmph~! These guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead have all caught up. ”

Zhou Wenxuan said and turned around to leave the forward position, followed a trench to his temporary headquarters in the back position, picked up the phone and connected to Liu Hong's headquarters.

"Report to the captain, the little devil has caught up, and everything is normal at the moment." Zhou Wenxuan reported with a serious face.

"Good!" Liu Hong's voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Your task is to contain the little devils in the northern highlands, cooperate with the main force, and completely defeat this little devils." ”

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. Zhou Wenxuan hurriedly replied loudly.

Liu Hong continued: "You only need to concentrate on defense now, consume the devil's troops, and you must not rashly launch a counterattack and wait for orders." In addition, keep me informed of the situation at the front. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Wenxuan hurriedly responded: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Hearing Zhou Wenxuan call the captain, several soldiers next to him surrounded him curiously, looking at Zhou Wenxuan with blank eyes.

Zhou Wenxuan turned around and glanced at a few of them, and said with a smile: "Don't be stunned here, all return to their respective positions and prepare to fight, today let's let the little devils see the power of our martial arts team!" Teach these brutes a good lesson. ”

"Yes!" When those soldiers heard this, they immediately relieved their hearts, knowing that there was a big battle to be fought this time, and they all responded excitedly and returned to their positions.

At this time, Okabe Shaosa had already rushed over with a group of little devils, and a group of devil officers surrounded Okabe Shaosa to the forward position, a relatively safe place.

At this time, a devil lieutenant pointed to the high ground in the distance and said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the dirt road is now all shrunk to the high ground in front, and these cunning guys have arranged some fortifications, it seems that they want to resist the attack of the imperial army. ”

When Okabe Shaosa heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you saying that these dirt roads actually built fortifications?" Were they prepared? ”

The devil lieutenant frowned and said, "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the humble observation, Tubalu only dug some trenches on the high ground, which can only be regarded as simple fortifications. ”

"According to the humble speculation, they may not have been prepared in advance, judging by the distance, most of this dirt road was stationed here last night, and they continued to set off to break through to the north early this morning, but they didn't expect to bump into us."

"As for these simple fortifications built on the Tuba Road, it is estimated that they were only set up just in case, for fear of suddenly being besieged by the imperial army."

Hearing this, Okabe Shaozo nodded slightly and said: "According to the current situation, this Eighth Route must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but it has been defeated by the Imperial Army before, and only this remnant of the army is defeated." ”

"Hello! His Excellency Shao Zuo is wise. The devil lieutenant hurriedly said: "I am afraid that they are already exhausted after fleeing all the way to this place, and they know that they cannot break through the encirclement of the imperial army, so they can only stay and fight to the death with the imperial army." ”

"Yo Xi!" Okabe Shaosa smiled and nodded, beckoning to a little devil next to him.

The little devil hurriedly took out a map, opened it and handed it to Okabe Shaozo, Okabe Shaozo took a careful look at the map, and it can be seen from the map that there is an open area all around, within a radius of a few miles, and there is only a small village called Yanzhuang Village in the south of the highland.

Okabe Shaosa stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and said, "What is the situation in this village?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the scout's report, the village is very quiet, and you can vaguely see that there are activities in the village." The devil lieutenant hurriedly replied.

"Nani? There are also dirt roads in the village? Okabe asked with a frown.

"Hello!" The devil lieutenant hurriedly replied: "Just now the scouts did find some traces of the Eighth Route Army in the village, some of which were wounded by the Eighth Route Army. Several Imperial soldiers tried to get close to reconnoitre, but two soldiers were killed by the sharpshooters of the Dirt Eight Road, so the specific situation in the village is still unclear. ”

Okabe Shaozo's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and he said thoughtfully: "Especially from this point of view, there are definitely more than two hundred troops in this Tubalu. ”

The devil lieutenant hurriedly said, "Haiy! His Excellency Shao Zuo is wise. But according to humble speculation, this Tu Ba Lu has been defeated all the way to here, there must be a large number of wounded in the army, and with the style of the Eighth Route Army, it will never easily abandon these wounded, so the more than 200 Eighth Route Army found by the Imperial Army before should be the main force of this Tu Ba Road, they are responsible for leading the way in front, and the wounded and non-combatants of the Eighth Route Army should be followed by the wounded and non-combatants of the Eighth Route Army, which is also the reason why they stopped to fight a decisive battle with the Imperial Army, they can escape, but these wounded and non-combatants of the Tu Ba Road, But it's not so easy to escape. ”

"Yo Xi!" Okabe Shaosa smiled and nodded, "In this way, we have caught a big fish this time." ”

Okabe Shaozo pondered slightly, and then ordered with a serious face: "No matter how many people there are in this dirt road, we must not let one go this time. The 1st Squadron and the 2nd Squadron were ordered to immediately make a detour to both flanks, surround Yanzhuang Village, and immediately launch an attack, striving to annihilate the Eighth Road in the village as soon as possible. The rest of the troops immediately prepared to launch an attack on the enemy on the high ground, and it was imperative to completely annihilate them as soon as possible. ”

"Hello!" Several devil officers around responded in unison.

With Okabe Shaosa's order, two squadrons of about 400 little devils bypassed the high ground from two directions and outflanked Yanzhuang Village, trying to surround Yanzhuang Village and eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the village.

And the rest of the little devils began to attack the high ground north of the village, because in the eyes of the little devils, the Eighth Route Army on the high ground is the main force, as long as they are eliminated, the battle is basically over.

The devil's tactics have always been more old-fashioned, usually preparing artillery fire first, and then the infantry charges, and this time is no exception.

The devil first used a few mortars to bombard the high ground indiscriminately, but the little devil only prepared for about three minutes before stopping. Because in their opinion, the encircled Eighth Route Army is a group of remnants of the defeated army, and there is not much combat power at all, and it is easy to eliminate them.
