The communication soldier was sweating profusely. He had obviously just experienced a long journey and rushed back. He continued to say:

"Our investigators heard news that this morning, most of the Japanese guards stationed at Zhuangzikou stronghold on Zhengtai Road suddenly disappeared. I am afraid they had evacuated from last night to the morning.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, a train was taken from Taiyuan and was expected to pass through Zhuangzikou stronghold in the afternoon!”

"Notify the communication class and report to the headquarters immediately!"

Ding Wei ordered sternly, then hurried to the table, spread out the map, and muttered:

"What exactly does this Japanese devil want to do..."

After saying that, he measured the distance of the map and said to himself for a moment: "The distance of thirty kilometers is so close!"

Zhang Dabiao walked forward, glanced at the map a few times, and said:

"Since the Japanese have given us this opportunity, I will find a way to do his battle! Draw the Zhuangzikou stronghold!"

"No!" Wang Yu, who had not spoken, pointed to the map and said: "The Zhuangzikou stronghold is located at Gongwan on the entire Zhengtai route, with strongholds on both sides. Once the fight starts, the Japanese in the surrounding strongholds can arrive within half an hour!"

"And, this is not the most important thing, you guys see!"

Wang Yu pointed to the map on both sides of the Zhuangzikou stronghold and said, "The west of the Zhuangzikou stronghold is Taiyuan and the east is Yangquan. Once the Zhuangzikou stronghold is fought, the Japanese in the other two big cities can take the train and arrive at Zhuangzikou within an hour. At that time, it may not be that simple if we want to retreat!"

"That's right!" Ding Wei looked at Wang Yu in surprise. Unexpectedly, the boy analyzed it well and continued to add:

"The Zhuangzikou stronghold is considered a large stronghold within a radius of dozens of miles. It has many fortifications, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. On weekdays, there is a Japanese brigade stationed. Even if most of it is transferred, it is probably not so easy for the Xinyi regiment to take it down within an hour!"

"And, look, here!" Ding Wei pointed to Wanjia Town on the map and continued:

"There is a railway branch line in the north of the Zhuangzikou stronghold on Zhengtai Road, which is directly inserted into Wanjia Town. Although the 8th Mixed Brigade of Wanjia Town is not even a second-rate brigade, if it starts, this group of puppet troops will block us from the rear, and with the Japanese from Taiyuan and Yangquan, we may have to be wiped out!"

"So, this little Japanese man disappeared on purpose, revealing flaws and attracting us to the trap?" Zhang Dabiao spoke out in confusion.

"I think this is probably the case!"

Ding Wei agreed and then asked the communication soldier who had just come in.

"Is there any news coming from ahead? What was the train pulling?"

"It was a manned train with strict defense, with many Japanese soldiers on it, and all the stations on the Zhengtai Line were martial law today!" The correspondent responded.

"Well, that's right, this army is the bait that leads us to the bait!"

Ding Wei affirmed and then gave a reason.

"In the past, if the Japanese army had such a show, there must have been an old Japanese to dispatch it. However, this time, all the stations along the route were martial law, but the Zhuangzikou stronghold was empty, and it was obviously supporting the pockets, so let us drill in!"

"It seems that the Japanese are eyeing my fat piece of meat!" Ding Wei said with a smile.

"Report!"

A shout rang out of the door again.

"Come in!" Ding Wei responded.

Then artilleryman Wang Chengzhu walked in with the bazooka in his back, saluted Ding Wei, Wang Yu and Zhang Dabiao, and before he could wait for others to speak, he grabbed Wang Yu's hand and said kindly:

"Brother, I miss you so much!"

Wang Yu looked at the rocket launcher behind Wang Chengzhu, and smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as thinking of me!"

Seeing that his thoughts were seen through, Wang Chengzhu smiled and said clearly: "This rocket launcher is good everywhere, but it's hard to find ammunition. After searching all over the group, there was no one!"

Wang Yu smiled, and naturally he would not point it out, and then said:

"The Independent Group lacks everything, but it's not short of this kind of ammunition!"

"That's good, when will we go back to the group?" Wang Chengzhu asked.

"Yuyou!" Ding Wei shouted at this voice and said to Wang Chengzhu: "You kid have not left yet, so he treats himself as an outsider, and slap in the group one by one!"

Wang Chengzhu scratched his head with a silly smile.

"By the way, Captain Ding, and our two guns..." Wang Yu spoke out.

After Cangyunling was injured, he and Zhang Dabiao were admitted to the hospital. The two Type 56 automatic rifles naturally remained in the new regiment. After they recovered from the injury, they followed Li Yunlong to the independent regiment and had no time to get it.

"Don't worry, I can't grab yours!"

After Ding Wei finished speaking, he turned around and came to the inner room, took out the two Type 56 automatic rifles and placed them on the table.

Zhang Dabiao picked up the Type 56 automatic rifle and smiled happily. Since he left the new ball, he has been thinking about this gun. Although it is not about not thinking about tea or food, it can be regarded as a dream every day and night.

Wang Yu also picked up the gun and felt that sense of possession.

After saying goodbye to Ding Wei, Wang Yu and his group of three rode on war horses and headed straight for the independent group a hundred miles away.

Along the way, Wang Yu felt uneasy and always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

After walking about twenty miles, Wang Yu looked up at the valley in the distance, which was the direction of Li Jiahezi.

The black smoke was almost gone, and only wisps of blue smoke rose. It seemed that the smoke had already been extinguished.

The Li Jiahezi no longer exists with this fire.

Thinking of Li Ergedan's wife still in the Taoist temple, Wang Yu couldn't rest assured, so he rode his horse and whipped it, turned around and galloped away.

As we got closer, we saw that Lijiahezi was already in ruins, only the Taoist temple was still there, but the three sacred temples in the middle had collapsed and turned into ashes with more than 60 holes in the village.

Li Ergedan's wife has regained her rationality and is now sorting out her husband's remains.

Wang Yu walked forward, feeling in a low mood, comforted:

"My fellow villager, come with us. It will be safe when you reach the rear of the Eighth Route Army!"

Li Ergedan's wife's eyes were swollen, she tied up her long hair on her temples, looked at the ruined village, and said sadly: "No, I want to stay here. As long as I am still here, this Li family Hezi will still be there!"

After saying that, she covered her belly with her hands, her eyes full of kindness.

Wang Yu withdrew from the Taoist temple, came outside, sighed, and said to Zhang Dabiao:

"You have to inform the farmers' rescue association in the nearby village to help her with the greatest efforts. Otherwise, she would be a woman and pregnant alone, and it would be difficult for her to survive..."

Zhang Dabiao nodded and agreed.

Wang Yu untied the reins of the war horse and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the war horse broke free from the reins he was holding, and the upper body stood up and roared towards the sky.
