Li Guotao frowned and thought about it, then turned to Kou Erbao who was following him and said, "You go and call Tian Chen, Zhao Yunfei, Xu Feihu and Sun Tao over." ”"Yes" Kou Erbao replied respectfully, turned around and ran to call someone.Soon, several people rushed over one after another, Li Guotao glanced at the four people standing in front of him, and said with a serious face: "I just received information from the headquarters, just this morning, the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in the Beiping area suddenly transferred a brigade of troops to the south, and the purpose is unknown.However, this independent 8th Mixed Brigade was originally a left-behind unit stationed in Beiping to maintain law and order in the surrounding area.Such a group of little devils suddenly left Beiping and went south, and it is very likely that they are coming for us. ”"Just a big team of little devils want to exterminate us, it's just beyond our means," Zhao Yunfei said indifferently.Li Guotao nodded and said: "Although the strength of the little devil is not too much, the troops in our hands are not rich now, so we still need to be cautious." ”"Yes, we now only have one battalion of the New Seventh Regiment in our hands, the Baxian County Brigade and the three units of our special combat team, although the total strength adds up to more than 1,000 people, but in terms of overall combat effectiveness, it may not be compared to a reorganized brigade of the little devils, if we resist hard, we may not be able to take advantage."
Tian Chen frowned and said with some concern.Li Guotao nodded and said: "Tian Chen is right, so this battle is also a big test for us, whether we can win this battle or not is directly related to the construction of our new base area, so everyone must not underestimate the enemy." ”Several people nodded one after another, and Li Guotao continued with a serious face: "Yunfei, Feihu, you two immediately send scouts to closely monitor the movements of this little devil, and report to me as soon as there is a situation." ”"Yes," Zhao Yunfei and Xu Feihu replied respectfully.Li Guotao nodded and said: "In addition, everything in the troops is as usual, continue to train those who should be trained, and continue to carry out the original tasks if there are tasks."
But be ready to retreat at any time, in case the little devil comes, you must be able to withdraw from the horse shop at any time. ”"Yes," the four of them replied aloud together.In the early morning of the same day, Shiro Segawa personally led the Ishikawa brigade to leave Beiping and go south by train, and got off at Xincheng Prefecture a few hours later.After resting in Xincheng County for a few hours, the little devil left Xincheng County in the afternoon of the same day and went straight to the direction of Baxian.The Japanese army arrived at Zhangliuzhuang in the evening and stayed in Zhangliuzhuang camp.Ishikawa Shaosa carried the command knife on his shoulder, strode into the temporary headquarters of Segawa Shiro, and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency General, the troops have been settled, please show your Excellency the General." ”"Yo Xi" Sekawa Shiro smiled and nodded, beckoned Ishikawa Shaosa to him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map on the table and said with a serious face: "Ishikawa-kun, you come and see."
At present, we are in this position, according to the latest intelligence, that damn Tuba Road, after leaving the county seat of Baxian, retreated to Madian Village, which is here. ”Ishikawa Shaozo glanced down at the position of Sekawa Shiro's finger, frowned and said, "That is to say, this Tubachi Road is still in the horse shop" "Yes, at least we haven't received the information that the earth has withdrawn from the horse shop now." ”Segawa Shiro nodded and said, "However, according to the latest intelligence, the strength of this Eighth Route Army is about a thousand people, and it is well-equipped, and its combat effectiveness is quite not weak, and it is definitely the elite force in the Eighth Route Army."
What's more important is that the commander of this Tubalu army is even more cunning and good at using intrigues and tricks, so he defeated the imperial army twice in a row, which is really hateful. ”"Your Excellency, the general, was angry, and thought that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery were useless.This time, our Imperial Japanese Army dispatched a large group of troops, and it was easy to exterminate this group of Dirt Eight Roads, and when the time comes, I will definitely personally cut down the commander of this Dirt Eight Road and present it to His Excellency the General. ”Ishikawa Shaozo said respectfully."
I'm very pleased that Ishikawa-kun can have such confidence."
Segawa Shiro smiled and nodded, his face quickly became serious, he clenched his fists and said with a fierce face: "Today, the imperial army will rest here for the night, and tomorrow morning we will set off immediately and go straight to the horse shop, this time we will not only completely eliminate this dirt road."
And we are going to capture alive that hateful commander of China, and I have seen him kneel before me, crying and begging for mercy." ”Ishikawa Shaozo said respectfully."
Haha," Shiro Segawa laughed like a maniac.At this time, the adjutant walked in quietly, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, the meal is ready." ”"Yo Nishi Ishikawa-kun hasn't eaten yet, so let's eat together," Shiro Sekawa said with a smile."
Hai is humble."
Ishikawa Shaosa replied respectfully.At the same time, in Madian Village, Li Guotao and others were also gathering together for dinner, Li Guotao said while eating: "According to the information we have obtained so far, this group of little devils is really coming for us, and now the little devils have arrived in Zhangliuzhuang, which is only about thirty miles away from us.However, the little devil did not rush overnight, but temporarily stopped in Zhang Liuzhuang.After the little devil got off the train in Xincheng County, he didn't even stop and went straight to Bazhou, which shows that this little devil is eager to eliminate us, and it is estimated that tomorrow morning, this little devil will leave Zhang Liuzhuang and go straight to our horse shop. ”Zhao Yunfei nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth hard, and said with a serious face: "According to the latest information we have obtained, this little devil is the Ishikawa Brigade under the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade, and the leader of the team is their brigade commander Sekawa Shiro, the old devil, it seems that this time the little devil is bound to us" Xu Feihu thought for a while, and suddenly interjected: "The little devil is menacing, do you want us to beat him first to frustrate their spirit." ”"You mean to sneak attack Zhang Liuzhuang at night," Li Guotao frowned slightly."
Hmm" Xu Feihu nodded and said: "I think the little devil has just arrived, and he doesn't know our situation at all, so he may not be prepared, and most of us will be able to succeed if we attack suddenly." ”Li Guotao shook his head and said, "Your idea is not bad, if you send a special combat team to sneak attack at night, you can indeed succeed, but we had better not do it." ”aa2705221:
