"Good!" Liu Hong nodded and said with a serious face: "Since this is the case, then let's act together, fight side by side, and teach the little devil a good lesson." ”

"Thank you, Captain Liu." Zhang Zhicheng hurriedly said: "I just don't know how Captain Liu plans to act?" ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "It just so happens that everyone is here, so let's study it carefully." I mean, either we don't fight, or if we want to fight, we'll fight the next big. ”

When everyone heard Liu Hong's words, their eyes immediately lit up, and they looked at Liu Hong one by one, their hearts full of curiosity and joy.

At this time, Liu Hong threw a map on the table, stretched out a finger and pointed at the map and said: "Our Gaoguantun is only a few dozen miles away from Cangzhou, and according to the latest information we have obtained, the defenders in Cangzhou City and its vicinity are not too many, and there can be more than 1,000 little devils plus a puppet army of no more than 2,000 people at most." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Lei hurriedly interjected: "Captain, don't you want to fight Cangzhou City?" That's just great. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, listen to me when I'm done." Liu Hong glared at Zhao Lei, and then continued: "And the main force of thousands of Japanese troops led by Endo Kanan is currently resting in the Dongguang area, even if they come by train to reinforce, it will take a few hours to rush back to Cangzhou on the premise that there are enough trains." What's more, they may not be able to mobilize so many trains in a short period of time. Therefore, we have enough time to fight him in Cangzhou and teach the little devil a hard lesson. ”

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Then what is our specific goal?" It won't really be like Lei Zi said, to attack Cangzhou City! ”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Lei Zi has no brains, don't you have brains either?" Cangzhou City is an important city along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and even if we can fight it, we can't hold it. Moreover, the enemy has built strong fortifications in Cangzhou City, and the only way to recover Cangzhou is to attack strongly, and a strong attack will inevitably cause great casualties. Exchanging huge casualties for a city that cannot be defended at all is obviously a loss-making transaction, and we can't do this kind of loss-making transaction. ”

Liu Hong paused, and then continued: "Our purpose is to fight the little devils, constantly consume the devils' vital strength, and gradually strengthen themselves while consuming the devils." Gradually reverse the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, and wait until the situation develops to the point where we are strong and the enemy is weak, then it will be the time for our major counteroffensive, and then we will not only recover Cangzhou, but also recover Tianjin and Beiping and all the lost territory, until the little devils are completely defeated and completely driven out of China. ”

Liu Hong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's a bit off-topic when you talk about it." Let's move on to the immediate problem, my plan is to strike at the important targets around Cangzhou City, lure the defenders in Cangzhou City to come out for reinforcements, and annihilate the enemy in the field. ”

"Encircling and sending reinforcements, this is the usual tactic of our Eighth Route Army, and it is our strong point, I think it can be." Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "But the reinforcement is only a part, we have now received the assistance of Commander Zhang, it can be said that the soldiers are strong, this time we are full of confidence, not only to eat the devil reinforcements in Cangzhou City, but also to completely defeat this point." ”

Liu Hong paused and asked with a smile: "Then let's talk about this point first!" This point must be an important target of the devils, otherwise, if the little devils in Cangzhou City don't come out for reinforcements, we will be busy in vain, which means that we have to attack it and save it. So in the vicinity of Cangzhou City, are there any important goals? ”

"Are there any more important targets other than a few devil strongholds?" Zhao Lei blurted out.

"Yes!" Wu Feng nodded and said, "The canal railway bridge on the Jinpu line? We've blown it up once before, but recently the little devil has repaired it again. I didn't expect the speed of the little devil to be quite fast, I think we can hit the canal railway bridge, and the little devil in Cangzhou City will definitely come out for reinforcements at that time. ”

"Hmmm! That's a good idea. Liu Hong nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" Isn't there any other goal than the canal and railway bridge? ”

At this time, Zhang Zhicheng opened his mouth and said: "There is another place whose importance is no less than the railway bridge of the devil. That is Cangzhou Airport, according to the information we have obtained, in order to carry out a sweep of our Hebei and Shandong border areas, the devils have arranged more than 30 planes at Cangzhou Airport, including more than 20 fighters alone, if we can take the airport and blow up these planes, we will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army, and its significance is greater than annihilating all the little devils in Cangzhou City. ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Commander Zhang's idea coincides with mine, this Cangzhou airport is only a few dozen miles away from us, it can be said that it is right under our noses, Lao Tzu has long wanted to cut off this airport, but he has not freed his hand, this time I just took advantage of this opportunity to kill this airport and blow up the planes in the airport." ”

Liu Hong paused for a moment, and then said: "Not long ago, we were bombed several times by devil planes, and the troops suffered more than 200 casualties. This revenge has always been remembered, and now it's time for revenge. I think that the friendly forces of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region will definitely not suffer less from the devil's plane, and it just so happens that this time the new and old hatreds will be settled with them. ”

Zhang Zhicheng frowned slightly and said: "Revenge is naturally not said, it's just that the devil's airport is heavily guarded, and a large number of fortifications have also been built, including many permanent fortifications, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack!" This Cangzhou airport is indeed attractive, but it is also a hard bone! ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "What Head Zhang said is right, this is indeed a hard bone, but on the other hand, if it weren't for a hard bone, we wouldn't have gnawed it!" This time, our two troops will fight together, no matter how hard he is, Lao Tzu can bite it to pieces. ”

Zhang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Captain Liu is full of confidence, he must have been prepared." ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "I never fight uncertain battles, I just said that we had the intention to cut off this airport before, so we have already sent someone to find out the situation in the airport." We are now strong and strong, as long as we plan well, there is no problem in taking this airport. ”

Zhang Zhicheng nodded and said: "Since Captain Liu already has a plan, then we will fully cooperate, I will make a statement now, from now on, I, Zhang Zhicheng and all the troops under him, will all obey the command of Captain Liu." If anyone disobeys the order, you will kill us directly, and we will not complain. ”
