In the headquarters of the newly formed 1st Brigade of the Seventh Column, Li Guotao and Changde gathered in front of the map and were discussing something.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the Japanese army has sent about a large group of troops into the Hulu Valley and searched forward. ”The so-called gourd peak is the highest mountain located at the waist of the gourd, and this mountain is also named gourd peak because of the gourd valley."
Oh" Li Guotao couldn't help but change his face slightly, turned to Chang De and said: "It seems that the fish are starting to bite the hook, but I didn't expect this Ishihara Shozo to be so careful and didn't crash into the gourd valley headlong, so this battle will be even more difficult to fight." ”Chang De frowned and said, "In that case, it's better to attack now and destroy the little devils of this brigade who entered the valley first." ”"It's only one brigade" Li Guotao shook his head and said: "Lao Tzu wants the entire 15th Wing this time, how can only one brigade be enough, and this is obviously a decoy deliberately released by Ishihara Shozo, in order to lure us to be exposed."
If we do it at this time, wouldn't we be falling for this old devil?"
"Hmm" Changde nodded, and said with a serious face: "But if this little devil passes directly through the gourd valley, wouldn't it be bad" "Wouldn't that be better" Li Guotao smiled and said: "Then we can cut the little devil into three sections, which is more conducive to us to break them all." ”Changde nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. ”Seeing that Changde had no opinions, Li Guotao turned around and ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order all troops to continue to hide in place to prevent being discovered by the little devils in advance, and no one is allowed to act without an order." ”"Yes," a brigade staff officer next to him responded respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Ishihara Shozo stood on a hillside, holding a telescope to observe the situation in the Hulu Valley, when a little devil hurriedly ran over and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report that Your Excellency Dazuo Lu Hang has just sent a telegram that the reconnaissance plane of the imperial army has repeatedly reconnoitred the vicinity of Hulu Valley, and has not found any trace of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. ”"Yo Xi knows."
Ishihara nodded."
Hmph, it seems that these dirt roads are really scared by the imperial army, they have already been frightened, and they don't dare to stop the imperial army at all," a devil officer next to him said with a smug face."
Do you know that the surrounding area is full of mountains and trees, and even if there is a large army hiding in the mountains and forests, it is difficult for the imperial army's reconnaissance planes to find out.Therefore, the information fed back by the reconnaissance plane can only serve as a reference and cannot explain any actual problems. ”Ishihara said with a serious face."
Your Excellency Hai Dazuo is wise."
The devil officer replied respectfully.At this moment, another devil officer ran over and said respectfully: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the imperial army has successfully occupied Hulu Peak, and no trace of the Eighth Route Army has been found. ”"Yo Xi" Ishihara Shozo nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and he commanded: "Immediately pass the order, all troops must search carefully, and cannot let go of any corner, especially Hulu Peak, the search must be more careful, strictly prevent the people of Youzhi from hiding in it, and we must ensure that this mountain peak is firmly in the hands of the imperial army." ”"Hail," the little devil replied respectfully, turned and ran to deliver the order.Ishihara Shozo frowned and thought about it, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately pass the order, order the second brigade to enter the valley, and the units directly under the wing will then enter the valley, and the third brigade will be responsible for breaking the rear, and finally enter the valley." ”A devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.On the gourd peak, a devil officer came to a southwest hillside with a group of little devils, a devil lieutenant forgot to glance down, and found that although the slope here is not a cliff, the slope of the hillside is generally about 80 degrees, and even some sections are close to 90 degrees, and from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, there are strange rocks and trees, there is no road to walk at all, and ordinary people cannot climb up from here at all.The devil lieutenant nodded with satisfaction and said: "The mountain is steep here, and it is impossible for a stupid Chinese person to climb up from here, just leave a few people here to guard, and the rest of the people are all arranged on the south and southeast slopes to prevent the people from sneaking up on the gourd peak, and we must ensure that the gourd peak is firmly in the hands of the imperial army." ”A few little devils next to "Hai" replied respectfully.Then the devil lieutenant left with the little devils, leaving only six little devils, who were guarding here, several little devils were a few meters apart, holding guns and looking on full alert.However, these six little devils concentrated the energy of the main force in the distance, because in their opinion, it is impossible for someone to hide on the hillside under their feet, and if there is an enemy attack, they can only rush over from a distance, so it is impossible for them to choose to go up the mountain from here, so their main task is actually to observe the enemy situation in the distance.At this moment, a pair of eyes were always watching these little devils closely.At the same time, a bush on the hillside suddenly moved slightly, and a closer look showed that a man in a straw hat showed half of his head out of the grass, looked at the little devil on the top of the mountain, and then slowly shrank back.At the same time, Li Guotao and Changde climbed a mountain peak with guards, Li Guotao held a telescope to observe the direction of Hulu Peak, put down the binoculars, and said with a serious face: "The little devil has arranged about a squadron of troops on Hulu Peak, and the key to the success of this battle is whether we can take Hulu Peak by surprise." ”Changde nodded and said: "This time it all depends on the special combat team, I believe they will definitely be able to succeed, the special combat team has never missed, I believe this time is the same." ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded, without waiting to speak.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Report to the commander, according to the scout's report, the main forces of the Japanese army have entered the Hulu Valley one after another. ”"Oh, what is the order in which they enter the valley," Li Guotao asked with a frown.aa2705221:
