"I can't rule it out!" Liu Hong nodded slightly and said: "After all, we have made such a big move recently, and the little devil will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will definitely take action." Not to mention anything else, it is impossible for Ningci, an old devil in Gangcun, to let us develop like this and sit idly by. ”

Wu Feng frowned and said worriedly: "If the little devil really sends the main force to carry out a sweep of our base area, then our main force is not in the base area, then the base area will be dangerous." ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "If that's really the case, we can't help it." We can only take one step at a time, but if the little devil can delay for a few days, when the main force returns to the central Hebei region, the little devil will not dare to attack us easily. ”

Wu Feng nodded and said, "That's the same, then let's see the situation!" But what about Xian County? ”

Liu Hong frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "This is a little difficult to do, now that the little devil will not counterattack Xianxian County for the time being, is it possible that we will take the initiative to evacuate?" Today, the little devil's bomber only came once, so it can be seen that the little devil bombed the county town just to vent his anger, and most of them will not be easily bombed in the future, after all, bombing such a small county town is of little significance to the little devil. Unless they send the main force to counterattack Xianxian, they will send planes to help the battle again. ”

Liu Hong sighed softly when he said this, and then said: "Let's finally get a county seat, I really don't want to give up like this." Since the little devil has no intention of counterattacking for the time being, I think we can temporarily occupy the county seat. ”

"Hmm!" Wu Feng nodded and said: "That's fine, you can take a look at the situation first, if the little devils always bomb the county, for the safety of the people in the county, it's better for us to take the initiative to evacuate." If the little devils don't come to bomb, let's occupy the county seat first to expand our influence, which is not a bad thing. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "Okay!" Then it's decided. However, all kinds of loot seized in the county town still have to be transported away as soon as possible, so that we can withdraw from the county seat at any time. ”

"Good is good!" Wu Feng frowned and said: "But there is one point, after three days, we will leave the base area and rush to the area along the Pinghan Railway, and it is estimated that it will take at least a week to come back. ”

"You can let the recruit battalion stay in the base area." Liu Hong said thoughtfully: "As for the county seat, you can let the county team and the district team stay behind, and let Secretary Lin and them stay in the county seat temporarily." At the same time, let's send more scouts, put the guard post farther away, increase vigilance, if the devil comes, you can decisively give up Xianxian, and everyone retreats to the base area. ”

"Okay!" Wu Feng nodded, and said helplessly: "So far, I can only do this first." ”

That night, according to the pre-plan, the Eighth Route Army transferred all the booty in Xianxian County to the base area. The main force of the Wugong Brigade and the 11th Teaching Regiment also withdrew from Xian County one after another, and the county seat was taken over by the county brigade and several district teams.

On the second day, the devil really did not continue to bomb Xian County, so Secretary Lin was relieved to boldly carry out his work and organized the people in the city to return to the county seat, but in order to prevent trouble, Secretary Lin organized the masses in the city and began to build fortifications in the city and build simple air-raid shelters to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking.

At the same time, the clerks of various units of the local government also rushed to Xian County one after another to start their work, publicize the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese ideology and save the country, and recruit new soldiers. In the city and in the vicinity, militia organizations were organized to strengthen the anti-Japanese armed forces, and all work was in full swing.

In the past two days, the Japanese army suddenly fell silent, not only did not continue to bomb Xianxian, but also did not send troops to counterattack Xianxian, as if nothing had happened.

Beiping, inside the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters.

Gangcun Ningci looked at the sand table in front of him with a serious face, frowned and said, "What is the current situation of the 110th Division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade?" ”

Anda Twenty-three hurriedly replied: "According to the order of His Excellency the Commander, the 110th Division has begun to assemble urgently in Shimen, and the independent second mixed brigade is rushing to Baoding on the way. ”

It turned out that at the same time that Liu Hong and the others got the news, Gangcun Ningci also got the news that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei was going to return to central Hebei, so Gangcun Ningci hurriedly suspended the counteroffensive plan against Xian County and hurriedly mobilized troops to prevent the main force of the Eighth Route Army from returning to the central Hebei region.

"Yo Xi!" Gangcun Ningci nodded with satisfaction and said: "According to the exact information from the intelligence officers who are lurking inside the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has concentrated about 20,000 troops this time and is preparing to return to the central Hebei region. There is a military engineering team in the central Hebei region, which is enough to give the imperial army a headache, and if the 20,000 Eighth Route Army returns to the central Hebei region, it will be even more troublesome. ”

Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said, "Hai! His Excellency the Commander said very much, so the Imperial Army must prevent this Eighth Route Army from returning to the Jizhong region. ”

Gangcun Ningji shook his head and said, "No~No~! The safest way is to annihilate all these hateful dirt paths. If the Eighth Route Army wants to return to the central Hebei region, it will inevitably pass through the Pinghan Railway Line, which is a rare opportunity for the imperial army. Only by seizing this opportunity and completely annihilating the main force of the Eighth Route Army can we ensure that the situation in the central Hebei region will not deteriorate further. ”

Anda Twenty-three hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Commander, this time the imperial army is going to annihilate them all. Due to the accurate information provided by the special high class, the imperial army learned the news in advance and made preparations in advance, and it will definitely not let these conspiracies succeed. ”

Gangcun Ningji frowned and said, "Anda-kun, the lessons of blood again and again remind us that we must not despise these hateful dirt eight roads. Our intelligence officers can send us back the news in advance, but won't the intelligence officers of Tubalu pass the news to them in advance? Don't forget that this is China, and the Imperial Army will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes of the people of China with such a large-scale mobilization of troops. ”

Hearing this, Anda Twenty-Three couldn't help frowning, and said with a worried expression: "Your Excellency Commander is worried that Tubalu will suddenly cancel this plan?" ”
