"Instructor, the troops have all gathered?" Xiong Changhe asked with his eyes emitting light as he looked at the sky slowly getting dark outside.

"Except for the garrison battalion and the recruit company stayed behind, all other troops were assembled." The instructor was also full of expectations for the subsequent battle and answered with his eyes full of desire.

Then he added: "The Hongcun stronghold we are going to attack is less than ten kilometers away from us. As long as we go out, we can kill us in at most two hours and attack. Battalion Commander, when are you going to go out!"

"After dinner, come out in two hours!" Xiong Changhe replied!

"The mission given to us is to trap the Japanese in the stronghold, and then we will play a play in front of the Japanese. I mean, no matter how you act, the attack on the stronghold cannot be stopped."

"Strive to capture the stronghold before the Japanese reinforcements arrive!"

"Although the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold have a total of more than 700 people, nearly half of them are puppet troops. The Japanese only have two infantry squadrons, half a heavy machine gun squadron and half a mortar squadron. As long as we arrange it, it is possible to capture the stronghold!"

"So, when the troops leave, they must bring enough ammunition, especially the shells of mortars and infantry artillery!"

At the Japanese Front Command of Southwest Shanxi, the Lieutenant General Commander was in the war room.

In his opinion, the new regiment troops, which transported a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and medicines, could be called the fat meat delivered to his mouth. As long as he wanted, he could swallow it in one bite at any time.

However, frontal search is head-on combat after all, and compared with guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, it is completely different combat methods.

From the time we knew that the New First Regiment was in his defense zone, the commander had a common sense of the difference between frontal combat and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

"Hisser Commander, we only found the large chariots that the Eighth Route Army dropped off the cliff, and did not find their troops and weapons and equipment for transportation. Also, we searched all over the radius of ten kilometers, but there was still no news!" The Chief of Staff reported in a low voice.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued, "The air force was not showing any of them!"

"All roads within 30 kilometers of the surrounding area were checked, and there was no sign of the Eighth Route Army's activities!"

"We did not have any attacks on the blockade lines and levels on the highway, and we had never seen them even!"

The Lieutenant General frowned and cursed: "Impossible! Can these Eighth Route Army soldiers and generals fly?... Keep looking for me, they must be hiding in this mountain!"

"Don't forget, they are not dragged down by big cars now, and it is possible to hide anywhere in the mountain!"

The Chief of Staff wanted to persuade the commander to give up the idea of ​​eliminating these Eighth Route Armys. After all, they were just transiting and could not pose a threat to the frontline troops. There was no need to waste so much manpower and material resources for hundreds of Eighth Route Armys.

However, just as he said something, he swallowed it back.

Looking at the commander's angry face, the Chief of Staff suddenly reacted.

The reason why the commander had to find the New Route and kill them was that in addition to the troops designated by the Front Army to eliminate them, in order to win this military achievements, there was another very important reason: as a commander who commanded tens of thousands of troops, he felt that he was fooled by the Eighth Route Army with hundreds of people. For his own face and to exhale the anger he had in his stomach, he also wanted to kill them.

Just as he was about to give orders, he had an accident.

A communications officer rushed into the war room and reported before the two commanders could speak: "Commander, the telegram from Major General of Chuankou, Linfen: They judged that the Eighth Route Army that passed through our front line blockade last night had entered Linfen, so let us not continue looking for it!"

"It is impossible. From the place where they gave up the cart to Linfen, there is a distance of fifty or sixty attacks. Could it be that they were flying over? Also, our planes were cruised in the sky throughout the day. If they were on the way to Linfen, they would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the aviation soldiers!"

The Chief of Staff had to calm down a lot, hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Commander, I think it's possible!"

"If these Eighth Route Army have entered Linfen, or are about to enter Linfen, then we can make sense if we can't find any trace of them in this mountain!"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army, who lost the big trucks and used war horses to transport supplies, can completely ask the highway and take the path ignored by the aviation army!"

"You know, the journey to Linfen is at least ten kilometers shorter than taking the road!"

The Lieutenant General Commander's face turned even more ugly, and he was calm and did not speak.

He hesitated for several seconds before staring at the communications staff and asked: "What is the basis for Major General Kawaguchi's judgment?"

"They blocked the Hongcun stronghold in the Eighth Route Army's defense line was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The firepower was very strong, including mortars and infantry artillery!"

"The Eighth Route Army, which was rumored to our defense line yesterday, must have entered their base from the Hongcun stronghold. The Eighth Route Army troops attacking the stronghold came to pick them up!"

The Chief of Staff was even more sure that he had run away and replied firmly: "Grand Commander, these cunning Eighth Route Army must have run away from the small road while our attention is on the road and this mountain. What should we do next?"

"Ba Geyalu!" The fat meat that reached the mouth really slipped away, and the Lieutenant General Commander became even more angry, and he cursed as soon as he spoke.

Then he ordered helplessly: "Linfen is not our defense zone. Even if we send people to Kawaguchi, we won't say anything, the front army will scold us. Moreover, it is too far from the Hongcun stronghold, and now we can't catch up with the battle even if we send troops there!"

"Call back to Major General Kawaguchi immediately and ask him to destroy this Eighth Route Army unit!"

"As for us, we should withdraw our troops immediately. After searching for a day and a night, we must be very tired. We should immediately rest in the defense zone. We should not delay the front line for hundreds of Eighth Route Army. What can we take advantage of our main enemy, the Jinsui Army?"

At ten o'clock in the evening, the guard company commander Hong Ruijun asked Wang Ping again if he could act.

The radio station next to it finally sounded a crisp telegram sound.

Soon, the radio operator sent a telegram to Wang Ping, and it was not until then that Wang Ping truly solved the mystery of Hong Ruijun.

"The first battalion has started to operate. Ten minutes ago, it was a rushing attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in Hongcun!"

Hong Ruijun was even more confused and frowned and asked Wang Ping: "Captain, are we planning to return to the base from Hongcun? No, even from Hongcun Ghost Base, we would not be able to get to Hongcun one night. Even if the first battalion came to pick him up, we should not attack now!"

Suddenly, Hong Ruijun thought of the task of marching from another road last night with a large cart, creating an illusion for the Japanese army.

At this moment, Hong Ruijun finally showed a sudden enlightenment.

"I understand, Commander, you are attacking the world!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "It is not appropriate to just use the four words "sound to hit the west" to describe it. It should be added with a golden cicada that escapes the shell..."

"Yes, it's a golden cicada that escapes from its shell!" Hong Ruijun affirmed.

"Our big cart was left there, and the first battalion attacked Hongcun, the Japanese must have thought that we had arrived in Linfen and were preparing to enter the base from Hongcun. But in fact, we were still in the heart of the Japanese. When all their eyes turned to Hongcun, we would kill back to the base from other directions and catch the Japanese off guard!"
