Zhang Zhicheng pointed to the map and said: "These two little devils in the south and east, let's fight that side first." ”

Looking at Zhang Zhicheng, who was full of confidence, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Head Zhang, come and take a look." This group of little devils in the south is the main force of the second wing, with about 15,600 troops. At present, our second squadron is pinned down near Maqiao Village. ”

"This group of little devils in the east, there is a brigade with a strength of about 1,000 people, and it is currently contained by the first squadron of our martial arts team near Xiaowangzhuang, Commander Zhang, you can analyze it, it is better for us to fight that group of little devils!"

Zhang Zhicheng replied without hesitation: "Of course it's this little devil in the east, if you want to pick it up, pick up the soft persimmon and pinch it, it's obvious that this little devil in the east is the weakest, just hit this little devil in the east." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded and said, "Head Zhang's thoughts coincide with ours!" Our opinion is also to attack this group of little devils in the east first, and strive to annihilate one of the Japanese troops before the main force of the devils has advanced to Gaoguantun. ”

Liu Hong paused, and then said: "The soldiers of our third squadron and the recruit battalion are in charge of the north and west respectively, and it should be possible to delay the main force of the devil in a short time, so we will strive to eliminate the Noma brigade in the east first during this time." ”

Zhang Zhicheng frowned, and said with a serious face: "You want to eat this little devil in Xiaowangzhuang in one bite, but Maqiao is only about ten miles away from Xiaowangzhuang, and the little devil can arrive in an hour at most. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "Commander Zhang's words are to the point, I have ordered the first squadron to do my best to contain the Yema Brigade in the area of Xiaowangzhuang, since the main force of our martial arts team has been dispatched, so this battle can only rely on your 11th regiment as the main force." ”

Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile: "You can see the outside world when you say this, we are all the Eighth Route Army, regardless of each other." What's more, as I said before, in this battle, we taught the 11th Regiment to completely obey the command of your Brigade Commander Liu. ”

"Good!" Liu Hong nodded with a smile and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome." Regiment Commander Zhang, please immediately lead the troops to the area of Xiaowangzhuang, and try to take the tunnels during the march to avoid being discovered by the devil's reconnaissance plane. After arriving at Xiaowangzhuang, we cooperated with the first squadron of our armed engineering team to fight for the annihilation of this Japanese army near Xiaowangzhuang. ”

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. Zhang Zhicheng hurriedly responded.

Liu Hong continued: "In order to cooperate with your operation this time, I have ordered the Second Squadron to firmly contain the main force of the Second Wing near Maqiao Village. However, because Maqiao is too close to Xiaowangzhuang, the strength of the second squadron is limited, and I am afraid that it will not be able to completely block the Japanese reinforcements, so this battle must be resolved quickly, and strive to solve all the Noma brigades neatly. ”

"Hmmm! No problem. Head Zhang nodded in response.

"And!" Liu Hong then added: "Now we are only talking about the ideal situation, if the battle does not go well, it is impossible to eliminate this little devil in a short time, or the enemy's reinforcements arrive in time, we should not fall in love with the battle, and withdraw from the battle as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties." ”

"Yes! Rest assured, captain, I know what to do. Head Zhang hurriedly said.

"Good!" Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said: "This time, please ask Commander Zhang, be careful, when we win this battle, let's celebrate well, and then we won't get drunk or return." ”

Zhang Zhicheng smiled and said: "I heard that Captain Liu still has a jar of good wine hidden in his house, if we win this battle, I don't know if Captain Liu is reluctant to take it out?" ”

"Haha~!" Liu Hong laughed and said, "Even you beat my idea of good wine!" Don't worry, I'll definitely take out all the good wine this time, and then we brothers will have a good time together. ”

"I'm relieved to have your words, then I'll go first, and you just wait for our victory!" Zhang Zhicheng laughed and left the headquarters.

Looking at the back of Zhang Zhicheng leaving, Wu Feng suddenly said: "Lao Liu, this battle is not easy to fight!" I don't know if the 11th regiment will be able to win. ”

Liu Hong said confidently: "It should be no problem, I have been teaching the 11th Regiment a few times, and those soldiers are also good soldiers!" It's not much worse than our martial arts team. This time, as long as everything goes well, even if you can't completely destroy this little devil, at least you can completely defeat it. ”

Liu Hong paused, and then said: "What we have to do now is to consume the little devils as much as possible, and the more devils we destroy, the easier the battle will be in the future." ”

Wu Feng nodded and said: "Having said that, the total strength of the devils is as high as more than 7,000 people, and it may not be so easy to completely defeat this little devil." ”

"It's just getting started! What's the hurry? Liu Hong smiled and said: "No matter how many little devils there are, Lao Tzu will kill them one by one, and there will always be a time to finish killing." They came to Gaoguantun, even if they entered the palace of the king of Hades, they still wanted to live, but there was no door! Lao Tzu just wants to let the little devils know this time that they don't come and leave when they want to! ”

……

Outside Xiaowangzhuang Village, Noma Shaozuo was holding a telescope to observe the situation in the village, when a devil officer ran over quickly and said respectfully: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the imperial army has surrounded Xiaowangzhuang, and the main intersections in the vicinity have also been completely blocked by the imperial army, and the attacking troops are ready for battle and can launch a new round of attack on Xiaowangzhuang Village at any time." ”

"Yo Xi!" Noma Shaosa nodded with satisfaction and said: "I just received a report on the battle situation from His Excellency the Wing Commander, the headquarters of the Wing was blocked by the Eighth Route Army in the area of Maqiao Village, in addition, the various units of the Independent Seventh Brigade led by His Excellency the General were also stubbornly blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and the attack was temporarily blocked, do you know what this means?" ”

"Please also ask Your Excellency Shaozo for advice." Several devil officers present said one after another.

Noma Shaozo sneered and said: "This shows that the Tubalu division of troops to block the imperial army, the Tubalu troops are not many, but now they dare to divide the troops, which just gives the imperial army a chance to break them all." The offensive of all the troops has been blocked, and if our field brigade can take the lead in opening a gap, after all, it will be a great achievement, and this is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions. ”
