Shuangfeng Town, five more than ten in the morning.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff"

Mihiro Dasa was talking on the phone with Suzuki, chief of staff of the Second Army: "According to the information I just received, the guerrillas who attacked Shuangfeng Town should be a regular army unit of the Eighth Route Army with a reinforced company."

"Oh?"

The chief of staff of the Second Army, Suzuki, said in a serious and puzzled tone: "How did you come up with this judgment?" ”

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Sanhao Dazuo tried to suppress the tremor of his voice:

"The group that attacked Shuangfeng Town was about a hundred people, with about thirty mules and horses, which was equivalent to a reinforced company of the Eighth Route Army."

"After attacking the military station, this group fled from the mountain road to a distance of ten kilometers from Shuangfeng Town in two hours, which only a well-trained regular army can do, and they also annihilated a search party of half the size of a squad sent by Pingshan County in a very short time."

"Although the garrison of Pingshan City is a reserve squadron of the 110th Division, and its combat effectiveness is very poor, it can be completely wiped out in a short period of time, which shows that the weapons and combat effectiveness of this group are not weak."

"Therefore, judging from the humble position, this group of people is a regular unit of the Eighth Route Army from Shanxi, and the purpose should be a code book and medicine, and they have a receiving force between the mountain roads from Shuangfeng Town to Pingshan City in advance, so that they can march quickly."

As the garrison commander of Shijiazhuang, Sanhao Dazuo usually deals with the guerrillas the most.

He couldn't have known the strength of the guerrillas in this vicinity.

Half of the squad of the garrison brigade can walk sideways...

If the guerrillas in this vicinity had this strength and casually annihilated half of a third-line division, then he, the captain of the garrison brigade who was not hard enough in the background, would have been cold a long time ago·····

"Very good, it seems that Sanhao-kun still has some ability, and he is not lost as a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy."

Suzuki said that his tone seemed to be satisfied, and then his tone changed, with murderous intent:

"Tell me about your pursuit plan"

"Regardless of whether this group of people is a regular soldier of the Eighth Route Army or not, they must be eliminated as soon as possible, and no one will be left, this is a matter of the dignity of the Second Army of our North China Front, which dared to attack our rear military station and attack and kill our senior officers..."

"Hang their heads in the gates of the city as an example..."

"Let those guerrillas see what will happen if they dare to resist!"

"Hi"

Sanhao Dazuo straightened his thoughts and said:

"Although this group of Eighth Roads is very well prepared and retreats quickly, they are still within the encirclement of our Second Army, and the specific direction should be within 50 kilometers between Pingshan City and Jing County and He County."

"I have ordered the cavalry squadron and the Shijiazhuang garrison brigade of 1,500 men to pursue along the road"

"In addition, He County and Jing County also dispatched five hundred imperial troops and puppet troops to search along the two flanks, and the garrisons of the nearby strongholds were also all dispatched, totaling 3,000 people to form an encirclement, as long as their traces are found, the garrison brigade and cavalry on the road can catch up with them within an hour."

"No matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, in the face of dozens of times the imperial army and the imperial army, it will be impossible to escape"

"Besides, even if they break away from my first blockade line, Xiyang's Jinchi Brigade has already sent troops to block all the nearby passages, and it is impossible for them to escape from the encirclement of our second army."

Sanhao Dazuo's words are full of confidence.

More than 20 times the enemy's strength, two blockade lines, high mobility of the pursuing troops on the road, and search troops all over the place, made him full of confidence in encircling and suppressing this group of reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, as long as he waited until dawn, he could send a large number of reconnaissance cavalry, and it was easy to find this group, and then gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress.

There are only more than 100 people, and it is impossible to escape even if they have wings.

"Very good"

Suzuki's tone was very satisfied: "I'm waiting for your good news, in addition, I have passed on the matter here to Yangquan, and they will also send people to assist in garrisoning, but Yangquan is the territory of the First Army after all, don't pin your hopes on them"

"Hi"

Sanhao Dazuo bowed his head.

······

Five twenty in the morning.

In a mountain forest three kilometers west of Pingshan City, Zhang Dabiao woke up the squad leaders of the commando:

"The one-hour break has arrived, wake everyone up, pack up the equipment and supplies, and prepare to leave in five minutes"

Then, by the faint light of the captured flashlight, under the sight of the squad leaders, he pressed one hand on the map laid on the ground, and then drew an arc, from one dot to another, and explained:

"This is where we are, this is our destination, Sanshi Village, the two are twelve miles away, we need to get here before dawn, and now there is still an hour and a half at most"

In early February, west of Hebei, the night was long, and the sky would not be bright until seven o'clock.

"Although Sanshi Village is close to He County, and it is only ten miles away from Jing County, it is located in the encirclement of devils, but there is a dense forest near here, the depth is very large, and the mountain road is rugged, as long as we can hide in it, it will not be easy for the cavalry reconnaissance of the devils to find us during the day."

"Even if we are discovered, the terrain there is complicated, and we can easily stop the attack of the devils."

"Wait until evening, and then break through the encirclement of the devils"

"Tell everyone to work hard, and when you get to Sanshi Village, you will be able to have a good rest."

"Yes"

The squad leaders quickly went to organize and prepare to continue the march.

Although everyone was exhausted after a night of continuous fighting and rapid marching, an hour's rest also allowed the assault company to recover a little physical strength, and the big mules also made it easy for everyone to march lightly, and they didn't even have to carry their own guns, and it was still no problem to march for an hour and a half again.

"Wang Gensheng, the old rules, you are exploring the way ahead"

Zhang Dabiao said to Wang Gensheng.

"Good"

Wang Gensheng's response was as simple as ever, but there was obvious tiredness in his voice.

Wang Gensheng joined the army very early, and now he is actually less than thirty years old, and he is at the peak of his physical strength, but the materials of the Eighth Route Army have never been abundant, although he can barely eat enough in the army, but he eats some food without much oil and water, so the soldiers have poor physical strength.

Forward reconnaissance requires a faster speed than a large army, and it is extremely physically demanding, and he is one of the most physically demanding people in the entire assault company.

"It's still going to hold on."

Zhang Dabiao was also a little out of breath, even if it was him, he was not lightly tired from the previous fifteen-kilometer rapid march, and besides, he had only rested for half an hour as the commander of the assault company this hour.

"It's ok, just slept for an hour, a little bit of strength"

Wang Gensheng took a bite of the cold pancake, then poured a small half of the water and swallowed it, picked up the pistol and ran forward.

"Let's go with me."

Monk Wei licked his lips and said to Zhang Dabiao.

With this veteran, you will definitely learn a lot of good things·····

"Good"

Looking at Monk Wei, who was alive and well, his face was not red and he was not panting, Zhang Dabiao nodded.

With a grin, Monk Wei ran after Wang Gensheng violently, and along the way, he couldn't see the equipment of a one-night rapid march.

"This kid, his physical strength is a real tiger"

Looking at the figure of Monk Wei, the corners of Zhang Dabiao's mouth twitched.

"Let's go, the machine gunner puts the baggage and firearms in it, and the pistol team just brings a pistol, try to reduce the load"

Zhang Dabiao commanded everyone to lighten their loads.

The rest of the assault company just now allowed only a little recuperation, and there was a rapid march of twelve miles, and it would be completed in an hour and a half. It is a great challenge to the physical strength of the assault company.

Although most of the assault companies are the elites selected by the independent regiment, the diet of the Eighth Route Army has led to poor physical strength among the soldiers, and their physical recovery ability is far inferior to that of the devils who almost have meat at a moment's notice.

As for the big mules, after an hour of rest and eating, this group of mules produced by the system has fully recovered their strength, and their eyes are shining.

"Cao Mantang, Cao Mantang..."

At the end of the team, Zhang Dabiao counted the heads, and found that there was one short, and he didn't need to point out who was left behind, so he opened his mouth and shouted.

After a while, in the dark grass, Cao Mantang, who was holding a machine gun and full of magazines and bullet belts, walked out without saying a word, his black eyes were particularly mad under the starlight.

"Gone"

Zhang Dabiao was accustomed to Cao Mantang's silence.

"Hmm"

With a low response, Cao Mantang caught up with the assault company with his beloved Czech running in his arms, running without any panting, and his steps were light and without any sound.

"This dog is as thin as a monkey, how can he have such good physical strength"

Looking at Cao Mantang, who was alive and vibrant, like a snake, the corners of Zhang Dabiao's mouth twitched, and then he also ran to follow.

In the cold and dim starlight, the assault company advanced silently, and even the hooves of the mules and horses were tied with cotton cloth to reduce the sound of footsteps.

·····

Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

The sunshine that has not been seen for a long time has cleared the clouds that have lasted for more than ten days, and it is a rare sunny day around Shijiazhuang.

On this day, the residents of Shijiazhuang hurried out as before, in order to survive in this chaotic city, and then as soon as they walked into the streets, they found that the city was under martial law, full of devil soldiers, and a large group of devils drove towards the west gate.

"What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.

"It is said that the devil soldier station in Shuangfeng Town was attacked, dozens of devils all died, none of them survived, and I don't know who did it..." Someone whispered.

Seven hours had passed since the attack, and the news of the Shuangfeng Town military station had already been transmitted to the city with the flowing crowd.

"Well done..." Although there are devils and two devils around him, everyone still praises them silently.

In Xinding County, three kilometers north of Shijiazhuang, in a slightly remote house, a man wearing a tweed trench coat and a round hat walked in, skillfully hung his hat on a hanger on the side, and handed over a few coins at the same time:

"Boss, the old rules, come to a small half catty of soy sauce, make a point, hurry up today"

"Okay..."

The owner of the soy sauce shop in the horse coat acted neatly, and within ten seconds, a bottle of soy sauce was handed over.

There was no other communication between the two, the man put on his hat and carried the soy sauce and went out, and when he took the hat, he accidentally tripped the hanger and leaned against the wall, while the man walked in a hurry, as if he didn't see it.

"Hey..."

When the boss saw that the hanger had fallen, he couldn't stop the man, so he could only step forward and straighten it himself.

After a while, the boss straightened the hanger, but I don't know when, he had an extra piece of paper in his hand, and the paper was densely packed with pen words, the first few words-

Shuangfeng Town Japanese Army Station.
