Lei Jian led the horse team to leave quickly, rushed to the southeast, came to the back of a dirt mountain, hidden, he held up his binoculars, and paid close attention to the devil brigade marching along the embankment dirt road.

There are about two squadrons of devils in the Japanese brigade, and the puppet army is probably in a company, and in the ranks of the enemy puppet army of several hundred people, there are devil officers sitting on more than a dozen war horses in the front, and the devil captain is guarding in the middle.

Lei Jian would not have thought that the commander of this devil brigade was actually the old opponent of the Japanese 73rd Kameda Wing and the captain of Takeshita Injiro. Thunder Sword had met this cunning fellow twice, and recognized it as soon as he saw the tall man and the donkey's face.

He scolded to himself: "Isn't this bastard stationed west of Aoshan Mountain? How could it suddenly cross the Sand River and appear on the east bank? ”

Wang Xiaoliang leaned in and asked, "Battalion Commander Lei, who are you scolding?" ”

"Our old opponent is the bastard Takeshita Injiro of the Seventy-Third Wing, why did he suddenly appear here with a brigade of devils?"

"Wouldn't it? Is it ......? ”

Lei Jian put down the binoculars and said: "This time, we attacked the Japanese army's road, terminated the quarry, and pulled out the artillery tower to destroy the enemy's stronghold, which must have disrupted the entire battle plan of the Japanese 13th Brigade in Jiaodong, and was forced to adjust the strength and encircle and suppress our independent battalion that went deep behind the enemy to attack the enemy." ”

Wang Xiaoliang said excitedly: ", I didn't expect that the action of one of our independent battalions would disrupt the entire combat plan of a brigade of the Japanese army, and we are too domineering." ”

Lei Jian shook his head and frowned: "The movement of our independent battalion is too big, I am afraid that it will be besieged by a large number of Japanese troops in the enemy-occupied area, and we must find a way to quickly break away from the east bank of the Shahe River and safely transfer to the Dazeshan base area." ”

Wang Xiaoliang just wanted to ask again, but suddenly shouted: "Battalion Commander Lei, do you see the enemy puppet army running and marching, did you bite Niu Dali's recruit company?" ”

Takeshita Injiro, the commander of the devil who was sitting on a war horse, was showing off his might and was following a few squadron leaders around him, explaining how to encircle and suppress the Tuhachi Road, which was deep in the Japanese theater, and the captain of the Inukai squadron pointed to the front and shouted: "Captain, you see that there are seventy or eighty people in front of the Tubalu, and they are fleeing ......in a hurry. ”

"Order the troops to pursue quickly." Takeshita Injiro whipped his command knife and howled.

Under the supervision of the commander, the enemy puppet army accelerated the speed of the march and pounced on the Niu Dali headquarters in front of the rapid march with guns.

This time, the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army, under the strict order of the commander of the Japanese North China Front, divided the two wings into two routes, and the North Road, with the Kameda Wing as the main force, sent heavy troops to cross the Ao Mountain and clear the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Dazeshan.

The southern route was dominated by the Tokugawa Mitsuo Wing, and concentrated its forces to clear the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous areas south of Songzhuang and west of Songzhuang, in a vain attempt to divide and encircle the two connected Eighth Route Army base areas and eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces.

He also sent a brigade of devils and a regiment of puppet troops to rebuild the highway east of the Shahe River in advance, digging trenches two feet deep and six feet wide on both sides of the highway, and building artillery towers on both sides of the highway and in large villages to block the entry and exit channels and economic lines of the Eighth Route Army.

The Kameda Wing of the Eighth Route Army base area in the Daze Mountains was encircled and suppressed on the North Road, with the Kosaka Masao Squadron as the avant-garde, the Fujiwara Brigade as the squadron, and the Kameda Wing as the rear unit.

Although the Eighth Route Army had done a good job of clearing the walls in advance, the common people were still devastated by the war, living under the iron hooves of the enemy puppet army, and living a humiliating and bitter life.

The Tokugawa Wing on the South Road raided the village all the way, set fire to and killed, and the people were miserable, occupying Songzhuang, which was at the throat, crossing the Shahe River, and pointing directly at the Dazeshan base area.

The Japanese army cleared the north and south routes, in a vain attempt to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army from the land of Jiaodong, and even if it could not succeed in the liquidation at one time, it would drive the remnants of the Eighth Route Army out of Jiaodong, and cooperate with the 'cage plan' implemented by the Japanese army in the North China Theater in the western battlefield.

The commander of the 13th Brigade swore to the commander of the North China Front that the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong would be wiped out within half a month, the base area would be eradicated, and the Imperial Japanese Army would completely occupy Jiaodong.

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade stood in front of the map, pointed to the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Daze Mountain, and said with a pout: "This time, the two wings are south and north of the two routes, and the base area of the Eighth Route Army has been divided and cleared. ”

Chief of Staff Yanagi Shibei nodded and praised: "General Hoshino's deployment this time has achieved brilliant results. ”

"Liu Shengjun, the performance of the South Road Tokugawa Wing is also very smooth, occupying the Songzhuang area, the vanguard has crossed the Shahe River and marched to the southern line of Daze Mountain, the base of the Eighth Route Army, and the two wings are attacking the base area of the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and the results will be even more brilliant, hahaha."

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade said as he left the battle map, walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, he gave the order to clear the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Daze Mountain this time, he would not have thought that the progress would be so smooth, thinking of this, he burst out laughing arrogantly a few times.

This is because the troops in the base area, in order to support the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region's 'cage plan' to break the devil's attack, the main force of the troops was transferred to the west, and the Lei Jian Independent Battalion left the base area to fight in the enemy's rear, resulting in a shortage of troops in the base area.

In order to keep the base area, the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army had learned of the enemy's plan to clear and suppress the enemy, and resolutely ordered the independent battalion to secretly infiltrate the enemy-occupied area, attack the Devil's Highway, and blow up the Devil's artillery tower, so as to disrupt the Japanese army's large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army's base area and force the Devil's to withdraw reinforcements to relieve the pressure of heavy troops in the base area.

Commander Wu and Political Commissar Gao of the Fifth Detachment of the Mountain Column obtained the Lei Jian Independent Battalion, and made a great movement east of the Shahe River, and they had discovered that the devil's troops were shrinking and were preparing to return to the east of the Shahe River to fight.

Political Commissar Gao said optimistically: "This time, the little devils invaded our base area on a large scale with two wings from the south and the north, but what they got was an empty village with a strong wall and a clear field, and although the base area was divided into several pieces, the troops and the people in the base area did not suffer major losses, and if the Japanese army was stationed for a long time and did not withdraw its troops in time, the situation in the base area would soon deteriorate, and it would be very unfavorable to us." ”

"Yes, depending on the results of Lei Jian's independent battalion in the enemy-occupied area, and the enemy's movements, this kid's movements will not be too small. But this stinky boy didn't reply at all, and I'm really worried about his independent battalion. ”

Just as Commander Wu was speaking, the operational staff officer handed over an urgent telegram.

Political Commissar Gao took the emergency call and glanced at it quickly, and shouted excitedly: "Old Wu, look at it, this person is afraid of talking about pigs and being strong, Lei Jian, this stinky boy, has replied, yes, he did it very fiercely, it is really good." ”

After reading it, Commander Wu walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed at 'haha' and laughed: "Okay, the siege of the base area has been lifted, the devils will soon withdraw their troops to help, and we can rebuild the base area again." ”

Besides, General Shusuke Hoshino, the commander of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army, was drinking tea in a good mood, and just when he and the chief of staff of Yagyu Shibei were about to fight on the chessboard, suddenly a nervous report at the door that had never been heard before, alarmed Yaxing, the two top commanders of the Japanese theater.

Chief of Staff Yanagi Shibei shouted dissatisfiedly: "Come in." ”

The chief of the brigade intelligence department reported in a panic: "Report to the brigade commander and chief of staff, and get accurate information, most of the roads leading to Yanji, Yanqing and various counties have been damaged, especially the Yanji Highway on the northern line, which has been extremely seriously damaged. ”

"Bastard, is your intelligence really accurate?" General Shusuke Hoshino asked very dissatisfied when he heard the report of the director of intelligence.

The intelligence department boldly continued to report: "Your Excellency, most of the central turrets and auxiliary turrets along the road have been destroyed by the Tuba Road, and there are still many strongholds ....... ”

Chief of Staff Yanagi Shibei stepped forward, stared at the chief of intelligence with both eyes and shouted, "Your lies, nonsense. ”

After all, the head of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade is in a high position, and the battlefield changes and successes and failures he has experienced have often happened in his life, so that he has developed a habit of not being surprised, although he was angry and ugly when he heard the report at first, but he quickly recovered.

He ordered fiercely: "Quickly find the captain who oversees the repair of roads and turrets, and mine will find him immediately." ”
