"Jingle bell~!" Gangcun Ningji was sitting in the study reading a book, and the phone next to him suddenly rang.

Gangcun Ningci frowned slightly, obviously this call came a little inappropriately, which disturbed Gangcun Ningci's interest.

However, Gangcun Ningci was also a little accustomed to this, reached out and took the phone, and said softly: "Moxi Moxi~!" ”

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to disturb you so late!" On the other end of the line came Anda Twenty-Three's apologetic voice.

"Anda-kun, what's going on?" Gangcun Ningji asked casually.

Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said, "That's right, Your Excellency Commander. Just this evening, the Wugong team suddenly launched an attack on the imperial army. ”

"Nani?" Gangcun Ningji asked with a surprised face, "They actually took the initiative to attack the imperial army?" Where are these abominable Dirt Eight Road Attacks? ”

Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly replied, "Hayi! However, these hateful Tuba Lu did not directly attack the area along the railway, but attacked the strongholds around Gaoyang County, and the military engineering team had already surrounded Gaoyang County, and it seemed that there was an intention to attack Gaoyang County. ”

"Nani?" Gangcun Ningci's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and he asked with a puzzled expression: "You mean that Liu Hong is attacking Gaoyang County?" ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said: "This matter is indeed a little strange, but it is absolutely true. ”

"Bagaya Road~!" Gangcun Ningji scolded angrily: "What do these hateful dirt roads want to do? ”

Anda Twenty-Three replied: "For the time being, it is impossible to know the true intentions of Tubalu, but the garrison of Gaoyang County is empty, and if Tubalu really attacks the city, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Gangcun Ningci frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Capturing Gaoyang is of no significance to the Eighth Route Army at all, I guess the purpose of their attack on Gaoyang is just to divert the attention of the imperial army, so as to cover their main force to break through the Pinghan railway line." ”

"Hello! Your Excellency the Commander is wise. Anda Twenty-three replied and asked cautiously, "What about Gao Yang?" Did you just give up? ”

Gangcun Ningci hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Order the defenders of Gaoyang County, defend the county seat, and wait for help." The troops along the railway line are not allowed to move without authorization, and I don't believe that Liu Hong really dared to attack Gaoyang's idea. ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly responded.

Gangcun Ningji frowned and thought about it, but he was still a little relieved, hesitated for a moment and said, "Anda-kun, you are waiting for me at the headquarters, I will be there soon." ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-Three respectfully responded.

Gangcun Ningji hung up the phone at this time, and hurriedly called the adjutant in and told him to prepare the car. Then Gangcun Ningji changed his clothes and hurried to the headquarters in a car.

As soon as he came to the headquarters, Gangcun Ningci directly found Anda Twenty-three, and couldn't wait to ask: "Anda Jun, how is the situation in Gaoyang County?" ”

Anda Twenty-three hurriedly replied: "I just got the latest information, the Eighth Route has launched a fierce attack on the county seat, the Eighth Route Army's attack is very fierce, several stronghold turrets in the west of Gaoyang County have also been captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the garrisons of the fortified towers in the remaining directions have quickly reinforced the county seat, but they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army on the periphery and unable to get close to the county seat. Now the situation in the county is critical, and he asks for combat guidance. ”

"Baga Ya Road!" Gangcun Ningci scolded angrily: "This hateful Liu Hong is really cunning. ”

Anda Twenty-Three hurriedly said, "Hai! These cunning dirt roads are really hard to deal with! They knew that the imperial army had already taken precautions, so they did not dare to rashly fight a decisive battle with the imperial army along the Pinghan Railway, so they came up with such a method in an attempt to break the strategic deployment of the imperial army, so that they would have a chance. ”

"Hmm!" Gangcun Ningci nodded slightly and said, "So we must not go to the Tuba Road, don't they want to fight Gaoyang County?" Then let Gao Yang give them up. ”

"Our main task this time is to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and we must not miss the major affairs of the imperial army because of the gains and losses of one city and one place."

"Hello! Your Excellency the Commander is wise. Anda Twenty-Three frowned and thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "But what I am worried about is that after these hateful Tubalu capture Gaoyang, they will gain an inch and continue to attack other county towns and strongholds. ”

"Humph!" Gangcun Ningci snorted coldly and said, "How many people are there in Liu Hong's martial arts team?" If he wants to continue to consume like this, I'd like to see who consumes whom! When they are almost consumed, it will not be easy for the imperial army to destroy them again. ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-three hurriedly responded: "Your Excellency Commander, the battle is undoubtedly the most consuming of troops, since this is the case, we will order the defenders of the surrounding strongholds and county towns to concentrate their forces and stick to important towns, if they really dare to attack, they will be in danger of defending and gradually consuming their troops." ”

"Hmm!" Gangmura Ningji nodded slightly.

At this moment, a devil officer hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the report commander, I just received a report that the county seat of Yixian County was suddenly surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, according to preliminary estimates, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is about tens of thousands of people. ”

Gangcun Ningci frowned again when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "These must be the main forces of the Eighth Route Army who want to return to the central Hebei region, and they suddenly attacked Yi County, and their purpose is the same as that of the Wugong team. ”

Gangcun Ningci said this, hesitated slightly, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Order the defenders of Yi County, fight in jade pieces, and block the attack of Tuba Road at all costs." ”

"Hello!" The little devil hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

Gangcun Ningci sighed slightly, his order was tantamount to having given up on Yi County, in the face of the siege of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the fate of the defenders of Yi County could already be predicted, but Gangcun Ningci could only make such a decision from the overall situation.

However, next, one bad news after another continued to reach the headquarters of Gangmura Ningci.

In the areas along the Zhengtai Railway, many places were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses along the way, and many railways were damaged by the Eighth Route Army.

The Pinghan Railway, the section from Shimen to Xingtai and from Xingtai to Handan, was attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army in many places, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses along the way, and many railways and bridges were blown up.

Listening to these news, Gangmura Ningji's face became extremely ugly.

At this time, Anda Twenty-three took a telegram and said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, the county seat of Gaoyang has been lost, and all the defenders have been shattered. ”
