After Liu Hong led the independent regiment to capture Zhangbei County, he did not continue to approach in the direction of Zhangjiakou, but temporarily stopped in Zhangbei County and rested for two days.

Zhang Zhicheng was very puzzled by this, and asked Liu Hong: "Old Liu, isn't it just to attack Zhangbei and then force the little devils to divide troops from the front line of Tianzhen to reinforce them?" ”

"Why did you stop in Zhangbei?"

Liu Hong explained with a smile: "The troops were already exhausted after a long march, and the soldiers were rested for two days to restore the physical strength of the soldiers of World War I and restore the combat effectiveness of the troops. ”

Zhang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I can understand this, but what should we do next?" ”

"Listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that you don't want to go to Zhangjiakou?"

Liu Hong smiled and said: "Entering Zhangjiakou is the established policy and line, and this will not change. ”

"It's just that how to fight this battle, or which way to choose to go to Zhangjiakou, still needs to be well planned."

Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile: "You are almost confusing me." ”

"There are several ways to Zhangjiakou, the key is to see how we go." Liu Hong said with a smile.

Zhang Zhicheng nodded and said: "In addition to the road to Zhangjiakou, there is also a small road that can lead directly to Zhangjiakou, and it is also suitable for large troops. ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "We can't take these two roads you said. ”

"First of all, the highway, this area is all mountainous, according to our reconnaissance, the little devils have arranged layers of blocking positions along the way, just to prevent us from attacking Zhangjiakou."

"Of course, we don't care about these small forces yet, just fighting all the way through like this will definitely delay a lot of time, and it will also expose our intentions, giving the little devils a chance."

"Then take the path." Zhang Zhicheng hurriedly said.

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "This path can indeed lead directly to Zhangjiakou, we can think of it, can't the little devil think of it?" ”

"We suddenly captured Zhangbei, and with the shrewdness of Ningci of Gangcun, he must have thought of our intentions."

"At this time, Gangmura Ningji must be planning how to eliminate us! Do you think he would have imagined that we would take the path? ”

Wu Feng nodded and said: "This path is also a rugged mountain road, the terrain is complicated, if the little devil is ambushed here in advance, we will crash into it for unknown reasons, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "This is what I am most worried about, Gangcun Ningci, this old devil is very cunning, and there must not be any carelessness in fighting with him, our Eighth Route Army has suffered a lot in his hands." ”

Zhang Zhicheng frowned and said: "If we say so, we will have no way out, and it will be difficult to be trapped in Zhangbei." ”

"People are alive, how can they be trapped to death by this small county town."

Liu Hong said with a smile: "I have sent a special combat team to the direction of Zhangjiakou to inquire about the news, and the main direction of exploration is this road and this path. ”

"Let's see how the little devil reacts first, and then let's make a calculation!"

As he was talking, a staff officer hurriedly walked over, stood upright, raised his hand and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, the special combat team is in an emergency." ”

Liu Hong hurriedly got up and took the telegram, read it carefully, and said with a sneer: "Sure enough! ”

Then he handed the telegram to Zhang Zhicheng next to him, and Wu Feng also leaned over to take a look at the telegram.

"Moganshan, a large number of little devils have been found near the mouth of the new river!"

"So the little devil set up an ambush on the path!"

Liu Hong nodded and said, "If we take a small road, Xinhekou and Moganshan are both necessary roads. ”

"Now that a large number of devils have been found here, it shows that the little devils are trying to stop us here."

Zhang Zhicheng couldn't help but scolded: "This dog's Gangcun Ningci is really fucking insidious." ”

Liu Hong sneered and said: "Gangcun Ningci, this old guy is really powerful, but he ignores one point, so no matter how he calculates, his conspiracy will not succeed." ”

"Which point?"

"This is China!"

Liu Hong said with a serious face: "The people living here are all Chinese, we have a mass base, and the people are all helping us." ”

"The little devil suddenly transferred so many troops to Moganshan and Xinhekou, how could he completely hide his eyes."

"If we don't send someone to investigate, as long as we go over to investigate, no matter how hidden the little devil is, it will not be seamless, and we will definitely find out."

"This time, the special combat team, with the help of local villagers, learned about the existence of this little devil in advance, so they found out the news."

Zhang Zhicheng nodded and said: "The support of the masses is the biggest advantage of our Eighth Route Army, and it is precisely because of this advantage that we can persist for so long under the absolute disadvantage, and continue to grow and develop." ”

Wu Feng frowned and said, "In this way, we can't walk on the highway and this path, so it will be difficult for us to do the next step." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "As the saying goes, there is no endless road. ”

"Bring the map!"

A staff officer hurriedly brought over a map and spread it out on the table.

Liu Hong glanced at the map and said with a smile: "Since the road leading directly to Zhangjiakou has been blocked by little devils, then we won't go directly to Zhangjiakou." ”

"How's that going to go?"

"Detour?"

"Where to go around!"

Liu Hong stretched out a finger, nodded on the map and said, "Just go around here!" ”

"Let's first confuse the little devils, so that they can't figure out our specific thoughts, only in this way can we hit the little devils by surprise."

"Chongli?" Zhang Zhicheng said with a frown.

"That's right! It's Chongli! Liu Hong nodded and said.

"Let's not go directly to Zhangjiakou, just go directly to Chongli, as long as we get to Chongli, then we can attack Zhangjiakou from Chongli, or we can continue to advance in the direction of Beiping, threatening the supply line of the devils from Beiping to Zhangjiakou."

"Isn't Gangmura Ninji smart? He must be able to see this too, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to us, and he will have to continue to mobilize troops and watch out for us when the time comes. ”

"As long as the forces of the little devils are mobilized, we will have a chance. Anyway, our purpose is also to contain the little devils, as long as we contain the little devils, our task will be completed. ”

"And there is another purpose for going to Chongli."

"For what purpose?"
