Hu Bin told Brother Huo Qing that he would notify Li Qinwei and asked Li Qinwei to send scouts to investigate nearby places and determine whether there were any Japanese ambushing nearby. If there were any, then they could not fight. If not, they would definitely find a way to kill those Japanese.￥f.￥f

"Okay!" Brother Huo Qing immediately sent a telegram to Li Qinwei, informing him to release the reconnaissance force.

Hu Bin continued to observe there. After a while, Hu Bin asked Brother Huo Qing to send a telegram to Hu Changgui and tell him about the situation here. After sending the telegram, Hu Bin waited there.

At this time, Commander Peng and his team were also sending telegrams to the Commander-in-Chief. The message sent by Hu Bin was very credible.

In Yan'an, relevant information was also received, and the Japanese were going to dispatch troops to attack their Eighth Route Army.

"Well, the Japanese are indeed going to attack our Eighth Route Army!" The commander said there with a cigarette in his arms.

They had expected this scene before, because if the Eighth Route Army really stopped the Japanese from transporting materials south, the Japanese would definitely take revenge, but the Eighth Route Army could not attack them because of the Japanese's revenge. This is related to the overall situation of China's anti-Japanese war. No matter how big the sacrifice is, it must be done!

"The troops of the six divisions and large units are fighting. We may lose a lot of bases. It doesn't matter if we lose bases. It may cause trouble for the people there. The Japanese will probably exorcise the people.

According to the statistics from our side, the places occupied by our Eighth Route Army and the people in the nearby areas occupied by the Japanese are moving to our side. If we lose those bases, our people will suffer. Those Japanese will not let go of the people on our side!" said the commander-in-chief worriedly.

"Well, we must arrange for the people to retreat now. We cannot be harmed by the Japanese! Once they are harmed, the people will definitely hate us. Our troops should escort our people now. We cannot stay near the battlefield, it is too dangerous." The commander nodded and said.

"But there is too much population, and spring is about to begin. After spring begins, the wheat should be top dressed. People will not give up those things easily, it is difficult!" said the commander-in-chief.

"We have to do it even harder. Let our party members and cadres do ideological work for the people. After the large Japanese troops leave, we will fight back. We cannot care about these things, their lives are the most important." The commander said immediately.

"Well, I will send telegrams to Commander Peng and several other troops. Retreat is to retreat, but it is difficult to fight this battle. The Japanese obviously want to drive us to the northwest.

We have a lot of troops now, but if we really want to fight the Japanese head-on battle, we will suffer a great loss. The Japanese are in North China, but there are many planes. We can't fight them head-on, and the casualties will be huge!" The commander-in-chief still became worried and said.

The equipment of the Eighth Route Army is still not as good as that of the Japanese. In addition to cannons, there are also planes. The Eighth Route Army has no choice but to use those planes. The commander was silent when he heard this. This time, the Eighth Route Army had to pay a huge price.

And on Commander Peng's side, Commander Peng was also worried at this time. The Japanese had used so many troops to come, which was very troublesome.

"Report, Brigade Commander Chen reported that his sixth regiment will take action today to fight and launch an attack on the garrison outside Zhongyang County!" At this time, a staff officer came to him with a telegram and reported.

"Today, we will launch an attack on the outside of Zhongyang County. Aren't there two brigades there? Their Sixth Regiment can still deal with the two brigades of the Japanese?" Commander Peng was surprised when he heard this, and then he took the telegram and looked carefully.

"Yes, I can slowly turn the two brigades of Japanese soldiers into less than one brigade's troops, and the brigades have taken a defensive posture, so let's beat him up!"

After seeing the telegram from Brigade Commander Chen, Commander Peng realized that the forces of the two brigades over there had been almost wiped out.

When Commander Peng saw this situation, he certainly agreed to them fight. It was also good to be able to eliminate as many Japanese as possible before the war, so as to reduce the pressure in the future.

"I have to say that the newly established Sixth Regiment has good combat effectiveness. Some time ago, they snatched the Japanese train. Now the place where we contacted the Japanese is also in their Sixth Regiment. It is indeed good. This unit!" Political Commissar Ren nodded and said when he heard this.

"Well, the newly established troops have not yet gone through a big battle. However, in that regiment, Hu Bin's commander was Hu Bin's father, Hu Changgui. This time he wiped out so many Japanese troops, so Hu Bin probably put in a lot of effort!" Commander Peng heard this, nodded, and said with a smile.

"Yes, but if those troops are killed, do you think we should let Hu Bin kill the 8th Regiment in Zhongyang County, with more than 3,000 people there? Because we have been working together before, Hu Bin may not attack them, but now the war is imminent, so it is not a good thing to keep them!" Political Commissar Ren looked at Commander Peng and said.

"Don't you need supplies?" Commander Peng heard it and looked at him and asked.

"Yes, but isn't the pressure now? It's still great to kill a Japanese corps before the war, for our Eighth Route Army!" Political Commissar Ren nodded, but also expressed his reasons.

"Then wait and see how Hu Bin arranged it. If he really wanted to fight, Hu Bin would raise it. After all, the Eighth Regiment threatened his camp. If there was any danger, Hu Bin would solve it in advance!" Commander Peng thought for a moment and said to Political Commissar Ren.

"That's right!" Political Commissar Ren nodded in agreement when he heard this.

Soon, Brigade Commander Chen received a telegram from Commander Peng to agree to the battle. Brigade Commander Chen immediately sent a telegram to Hu Changgui, agreeing to the battle.

Hu Changgui received a telegram and took a guard company to find Hu Bin. The troops behind him were still resting and fighting would not be so fast. Hu Changgui found Hu Bin's troops. Under the leadership of other soldiers, Hu Changgui arrived at the mountain that Hu Bin observed.

"Dad, why are you here?" Hu Bin asked in surprise when he saw his father coming.

"Come here to observe the situation in advance. The Japanese are at the position below?" Hu Changgui smiled and asked Hu Bin.

"Yeah!" Hu Bin nodded, and Hu Changgui lay on the trench and looked at it with a telescope.

After watching for a few minutes, Hu Changgui put down his telescope.

"Can it work?" Hu Bin asked looking at his father.

"It can be done, but it is difficult to get closer to the past! The Japanese's firepower is too strong, so we will probably have great casualties!" Hu Changgui looked down and said.

"If the casualties are serious, it's not worth it!" Hu Bin hesitated immediately when he heard this.

"It is not cost-effective to fight. Now you know that the Japanese have to mobilize large troops to attack us. Killing some of the Japanese troops now can also reduce pressure for us to fight for the future.

Now all the troops are attacking the Japanese troops, some of our brigade regiments, now they are participating in the war." Hu Changgui turned his head and looked at Hu Bin and said.

"But if you attack such a position, it is too unprofitable if you suffer heavy casualties!" Hu Bin still felt that it was not possible. He was not worth the attack. The Japanese position had strong firepower, and the firepower of heavy machine guns and light machine guns was very good.

"Then what do you think should be done? If you don't fight today, reinforcements may come from the Japanese in the past few days. And Xiaobin, when we fight, we not only need to prevent Japanese in the railway from behind, but also guard against the Eighth Regiment in the county.

Although they have not had a conflict with us yet, don’t forget that they are also Japanese. It only takes less than 40 minutes for them to reinforce.

In other words, after we have to launch an attack, we will solve the Japanese within 40 minutes. This is even more difficult. We can only launch a fierce attack. Our heavy weapons cannot be transported over. If there are artillery, there is no need to be so troublesome!" Hu Changgui said at Hu Bin.

"I know, I will send a telegram to Wen Jin and ask them to tell the Japanese in the Eighth Regiment that if I dare to come out, I will kill them all. It's okay to come out. Come out slowly, and I must notify me!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

"Well, at noon, I sent a reconnaissance company there. Once the Japanese in the county are dispatched, they will notify us!" Hu Changgui continued.

He was not at ease with the Japanese in that direction, so he had to prepare in advance.

"Damn, Xiaobin, you have a sniper over there. I want your troops to do a few things!" Hu Changgui cursed and said to Hu Bin.

"Dad, tell me!" Hu Bin looked at Hu Changgui.

"You have sharpshooters here. Before we launch an attack, you have to do two things. One is to kill the Japanese searchlights, and the second is to kill the heavy machine guns on our offensive line. As long as our soldiers rush to the Japanese position, the Japanese will be finished.

We are not afraid of their rifles. They can't fire a few shots at a distance of hundreds of meters, so our casualties can still be controlled!" Hu Changgui said to Hu Bin. Hu Bin nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"But, Dad, I want to lead the troops to launch an attack from the side so that the Japanese will not know where our main attack direction is and attract the Japanese firepower. What do you think?" Hu Bin said to Hu Changgui.

"We must attack from the side. I will send someone to do this. We mainly use feint attacks, not main attacks, just attract firepower. You and your troops are in the direction of the main attack." Hu Changgui nodded and said, "He already knows how to fight." (To be continued.)
