In the temporary headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Wu Feng hurriedly walked in front of Liu Hong, and said with a serious face: "Regiment Commander, I just received news from the front-line scouts that the infantry brigades of the little devils have advanced to the vicinity of Hejian City, which is less than ten miles away from Hejian City. ”

Liu Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the devil's follow-up troops?" How far is it from RiverCity? ”

Wu Feng hurriedly replied: "The devil's artillery and baggage troops can only choose to take the road because they carry a large number of heavy weapons and baggage materials, but the road along the way has been destroyed by us, and a large number of traps and minefields have been set up, causing this little devil to advance slowly, and it is still more than thirty miles away from Hejian City." ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "In other words, the follow-up troops of the little devils are already more than twenty miles away from their infantry units. ”

"Not bad! The nearest estimate must be twenty miles, and the farthest is almost thirty miles. Wu Feng replied.

More than twenty miles?

Liu Hong summed it up slightly, and then said: "The distance of more than twenty miles, if the devil comes back to help, the devil will need about two hours. ”

"Hmmm! Almost, more than twenty miles away, if the devil walks, it will take almost two hours. Wu Feng nodded and said.

"If the devil is blocked, it will only take longer." Liu Hong said thoughtfully.

"Not bad!" Wu Feng nodded and said.

"Immediately send an order, and order the troops of the county brigade and district squad, as well as the local militia, to use the tunnels in the nearby villages and the fortifications built in advance to resist the attack of the devils."

"Slow down the advance of the devil infantry, but all units should be more careful and try to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Liu Hong ordered with a serious face.

"Yes!"

"In addition, order the first battalion to immediately detour back to the back of the devil's infantry, rely on the tunnels of the villages along the way, and make every effort to block the little devil's return to help, as long as the little devil returns to reinforcements, immediately give me all the strength to block it, and block the devil's main force at all costs."

"Yes!"

"Order the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, all units of the artillery battalion, cavalry company, special agent company, reconnaissance company, and special operations brigade to immediately rush to the designated place in accordance with the predetermined task and prepare to attack the follow-up troops of the devil."

"Tell Wei Haisheng that you must pay attention to safety and try to avoid letting the little devils find out."

Liu Hong then ordered.

"Yes!" Wu Feng hurriedly answered, turned around and went to convey the order.

By this time night had already fallen, and the earth was completely covered in darkness, and everywhere was pitch black, and there were no fingers to be seen.

With the help of the cover of the night, the main force of the independent regiment is rapidly approaching the devil.

And at this time, the little devil was still unaware of this.

In the division headquarters, the commander of the Nakamura Division frowned and said with a slight worry: "Is our infantry advancing too fast?" ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's not that the infantry is advancing too fast, it's that our advance speed is too slow." A devil officer next to him replied.

"The hateful dirt road has completely destroyed the road, causing the imperial army to march slowly." The commander of the Nakamura division said angrily.

"I'm afraid that there are only these skills in such a dirty way, they don't dare to confront the imperial army at all, and it is really shameful to command these little tricks to fight against the imperial army." A devil officer next to him gritted his teeth and said.

The commander of the Nakamura Division waved his hand and said: "You can't say that, what is war?" War is victory by all means, and as for what means are used, it is secondary, and there is no shame in it. As long as you can win, it will be glorious. ”

"Hello! His Excellency the division commander said very much, and he was taught in a humble position. The devil officer hurriedly said.

"Hmm!" The head of the Nakamura Division nodded and said, "But this trick of the Dirt Eight Road is really too annoying. We've got to get up to speed as quickly as possible, you guys? ”

"Hello! Humble duty understands! A group of devil officers responded in unison.

"In addition, we must strengthen our vigilance, this has entered the base of the Dirt Eight Road, these cunning Dirt Eight Roads are the best at sneak attacks, especially at night, the imperial army should pay more attention to safety. In order not to be attacked by the dirt eight roads, causing unnecessary losses. The head of the Nakamura division said with a serious face.

"Hello~!" The devil officers hurriedly responded.

At this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from a distance.

The head of the Nakamura division couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

After a while, a devil officer ran over and replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, the commander of the report, the alert troops of the imperial army have been attacked by the Tuba Road!" ”

"How many people are on the other side?"

"Due to the darkness, the exact number of enemies is unknown, but it is estimated that there should not be too many."

"Yo Xi!" The commander of the Nakamura Division nodded slightly and said, "Send troops to repel them, but don't rush to pursue, so as not to fall into an ambush on the Eighth Road." ”

"Hai~" The devil officer hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to convey the order.

In the eyes of the commander of the Nakamura Division, this should be just a small force of the Eighth Route Army, and the purpose was just to harass them, so the division commander didn't take it to heart.

But soon, in other directions, gunshots and explosions sounded again, and another group of devils' peripheral alert troops were attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

The situation was similar to just now, and the head of the Nakamura Division didn't care too much.

But then, in several other places, battles broke out one after another, and it was the devil's peripheral guard troops who were attacked by surprise.

"How many dirt roads are this?" The commander of the Nakamura division finally realized that something seemed to be wrong with the situation.

"It should be the fifth unit, and the number of people in each Eighth Route Army is about 100." A devil officer next to him hurriedly replied.

"Didn't you find a large force of the Eighth Route Army?" The commander of the Nakamura Division asked again.

"So far, I haven't found it!" The devil officer replied again.

The commander of the Nakamura Division said thoughtfully: "Could it be just the attack troops sent by the Dirt Eighth Road, so why am I always a little uneasy?" ”

"Judging from the current situation, these dirt roads should only be to harass the imperial army." The devil officer replied.

"What's going on with the infantry?" The head of the Nakamura Division hurriedly asked.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the report, the various troop brigades have advanced to the vicinity of Hejian City, but they have been stubbornly blocked by the Tuba Road in the nearby villages, and these damn Tuba Lulu use the tunnels to constantly sneak attack the imperial army, making the imperial army's advance slow, but it is less than ten miles away from Hejian City." The devil officer hurriedly replied.
