The Takeshita Special Forces first discovered the Eighth Route Army Airport.

Then ask the headquarters for instructions on their next combat actions.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's order was for them to continue searching the Eighth Route Bureau headquarters.

Takeshita Shun led the special team all the way east, trying to find the location of the Eighth Route Bureau headquarters.

But less than an hour after setting off from the airport, new orders from Yoshio Iwamatsu arrived.

In a small forest, the telegraph operator took a telegram, walked up to Takeshita Jun, paused and said: "Captain, a telegram from the headquarters!"

The members of the special operations team put on their 38-gauge rifles again and disguised themselves as Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Takeshita Jun looked around cautiously, then picked up the telegram and read it, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Captain, what happened?" Vice-captain Takagi Yukichi asked with a look on his face.

Takeshita Toshidao: "The 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment of the 36th Division lost contact with the headquarters in the Shipan area."

"Nani?" Takagi Yukichi said in shock, "The two regiments lost contact with the headquarters?"

At this juncture of the sweep, it is not a good thing that the two regiments have lost contact with the headquarters.

Takeshita Jun nodded slightly and said.

"Yes, General Yansong ordered our special forces to rush to Shipan to find the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment."

"And gave them an order to withdraw to Liao County and Heshun area."

After finishing speaking, Takeshita Jun took out the map and looked at it. Fortunately, it was not too far from Shipan. From the map, the straight-line distance was only about 50 miles.

Of course, the roads are difficult to walk and are basically mountain roads. The actual distance is estimated to be about 60 miles.

60 miles is also 30 kilometers. To the Takeshita Special Forces, 30 kilometers is nothing. It is just a normal training distance for the Takeshita Special Forces.

Takeshita Jun took out his compass, checked the sun, and then looked to the northwest.

Then he whispered to Major Takagi in Japanese: "Takagi-kun, gather all the team members immediately!"

"Hi!" Takagi Yukichi nodded, walked back, and quickly gathered more than 80 special forces members.

Takeshita Jun gestured forward: "Target stone plate, speed up!"

The eighty-odd Japanese special forces team members started running towards the northwest.

…

At the same time, outside Yushe County.

More than 10,000 soldiers from the Independent Brigade, the 12th Brigade and the Artillery Regiment lined up like a long queue and passed outside Yushe County.

Along the Yuliao Highway, march north.

Wei Dayong has already sent out the Wolf Fang Squadron, disguised as Japanese soldiers, to take the lead and clear the way for the larger army.

Although the Japanese 36th Division is fierce, two of its teeth have been ripped out, leaving only one infantry regiment and one artillery regiment.

Now, of course, he is taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

Moreover, the communications team of the Japanese 226th Regiment was destroyed in the first round of aerial bomb explosions, and the news did not even have time to spread.

At this moment, Jing Guanren, the commander of the 36th Division, may not have realized that his 225th Regiment and 226th Regiment had been eaten by the Eighth Route Army.

The game is all about using one's own strength and speed. The soldiers trot while eating dry food and drinking water to replenish their physical strength.

"Quick, follow up!" Li Yunlong waved to the soldiers, and the steps of the soldiers were two minutes faster.

Then he got on his horse and went forward to catch up with Chief Chen, Ding Wei, and Wei Dayong.

Zhao Gang was responsible for organizing logistics and transportation from behind as usual.

Although all the aerial bombs have been used, there are still many artillery shells, bullets, food and other materials that require specialized logistics and transportation.

In modern warfare, logistics and transportation support are extremely important.

After a while, Li Yunlong caught up with everyone. Chief Chen, Ding Wei and Wei Dayong were discussing the next battle plan in front.

Li Yunlong dismounted and joined in discussing the battle plan.

Only Wei Dayong said: "Currently, judging from the situation reported by the reconnaissance plane, the remaining infantry regiment of the 36th Division has retreated into the county seat of Liao County."

Chief Chen smiled and said: "It seems that this old devil Jingguan Ren is very cautious."

Ding Wei asked: "Where is the Japanese artillery regiment that has also entered Liao County?"

Wei Dayong said: "As for the artillery regiment, it has never shown its face. We don't know where it is hidden yet."

"Is it..." Li Yunlong asked, "The 36th Division Artillery Regiment did not participate in this sweep?"

"According to intelligence," Commander Chen said, "the 36th Division Artillery Regiment participated in this sweep."

Ding Wei analyzed: "The old Japs like Jingguan Ren have withdrawn all the remaining infantry into Liao County. It may be disadvantageous for us. Think about it, if the Japs fight with us in a field battle, then we can rely on our superiority in troops and artillery.

We can defeat it quickly!"

"However, all the Japanese infantry retreated into the city, clearly intending to engage in street fighting."

"Everyone must have experienced the cruelty of street fighting. Even if we have the upper hand, the damage ratio compared to the Japanese would be 1:1 at most."

"If possible, I suggest that it would be safer to lure the Japanese out of the city for field battles!"

Ding Wei also tasted the benefits of annihilating two Japanese regiments in Shipan, and wanted to annihilate another Japanese regiment in the wild and eat up the entire Japanese 36th Division.

Li Yunlong analyzed: "I think Jingguan Ren's withdrawal of infantry into the county town should be a subconscious act, and the intelligence did not say that the Japs were building positions outside the county town. This shows that the Japs do not yet know that the two regiments have already

Regarding being eaten by us, my suggestion is to quickly surround the county seat of Liao County. Even if we engage in street fighting, we have to choke the Japanese to death one by one in the cesspools of the county seat!"

Chief Chen looked at Wei Dayong and asked, "Wei Dayong, what do you think?"

Wei Dayong said: "Commander, my idea is the same as that of our brigade commander. Let's fight in the streets with the Japanese!"

Chief Chen's expression changed: "Oh? Tell me your reasons?"

Wei Dayong added: "The area from Liao County to Heshun is mountainous, and the terrain is relatively complex. Although we have an advantage in terms of military strength, if we are the attacker, even if we have the advantage of artillery fire, we may not be able to take advantage of the Japanese in the wild.

It would be better to fight in the streets, at least the Japanese can't escape if they are surrounded. If it's in the wild, the Japanese only need to send a small force to break up the rear, and the large force will probably escape under our noses."

Chief Chen nodded slightly and adjusted his glasses: "That's it. We'll still use the old method of surrounding three and attacking one. We'll attack from three sides and create a gap at the same time. We'll ambush the cavalry outside and draw out the Japanese artillery regiment first!"

…

At the same time, on the road at the junction of Yushe County and Liao County.

A small team of 13 Japanese soldiers is stationed here to guard the traffic arteries.

There is a telephone set up in a small pavilion by the road, so you can directly contact the Liao County Division Headquarters.

The sun was very hot, so the Japs only left three people to guard the road, while the remaining 10 Japs ran to the shade to enjoy the shade.

In the distance, four trucks were driving from south to north, with plaster mini flags hanging on the front of the trucks.

A light machine gun with a crooked handle was mounted on the roof of each truck, and there were all "Japs" standing on the truck holding 38-inch caps.

Those on these four trucks were none other than the Wolf Fang Squadron that was clearing the way for the main force.

In order not to surprise the Japs and to achieve a tactical surprise, Wei Dayong first sent out the Langya Squadron to spy on intelligence and kill the Japs' checkpoints.

Hearing the roar of the truck's motor, the Japs ran out of the shade one after another and stood in two rows on the roadside.

When the car drove to a dozen meters away from the Japs checkpoint, the Japs squad leader, wearing the rank of second lieutenant, stretched out his hand and made a sign to stop.

Four trucks drove to a stop two meters in front of the roadblock. Duan Peng, wearing the rank of Major and carrying a Major's sword, opened the door and stepped out.

He walked up to the Japanese second lieutenant and slapped him across the face.

Snapped--

A crisp sound made the Japanese second lieutenant stagger and almost fall to the ground.

The 12 subordinates of the Japanese second lieutenant only glanced at him and then turned away.

He is a major and cannot be offended.

When the Japanese second lieutenant was beaten, he not only did not dare to show anger at all, but instead nodded to Duan Peng: "Hi!"

Duan Peng slapped the Japanese three times, and the Japanese second lieutenant shouted "Hi" three times. Even the Japanese second lieutenant didn't even know why he was beaten, and he didn't dare to ask.

Duan Peng waved his hand and asked: "Do you know why I hit you?"

The Japanese second lieutenant paused quickly: "Major, please give me instructions!"

Duan Peng scolded: "I am Narita Kensaku, captain of the 5th Squadron of the 1st Infantry Group of the 225th Regiment. Our 225th Regiment is being besieged by the Eighth Route Army and is in danger. I have important information to report to the division commander, but you stopped us.

The road won’t let us pass?”

"Major Narita!" Second Lieutenant Guizi paused quickly, "There is a phone here, you can call the division headquarters directly. You can talk to the division commander directly here!"

"Nani?" Duan Peng pretended to be surprised, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing that the Japanese second lieutenant was still at a loss, Duan Peng scolded again, "Why don't you take me to make a phone call quickly?"

"Hi!" The Japanese second lieutenant turned around and left.

"Wait a minute."
