Xu Dalong rushed over with the special forces team members, but it was still a step too late. Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops fleeing, they took the two special forces team members and chased the Japanese and puppet troops together.
After a large number of guerrillas entered the town, they saw that the Japanese and puppet troops had fled. Under the leadership of Captain Cao, they also rushed out of the town to chase the Japanese and puppet troops who fled towards the county seat.
Gao Xiling led the guerrillas on their way. At the beginning, they were still some distance away from the town. They had to run at least 3 kilometers in the direction leading to the county to set up an ambush. If the Japanese and puppet troops escaped at that time, they would have no time to intercept them.
However, because the puppet troops had to wait for the remaining Japanese troops to enter the town, and then took a short rest, they also had to discuss whether to retreat, which wasted a lot of time. When the Japanese and puppet troops just left the town, they were attacked by two special forces members and were forced to retreat to the town. This was delayed for a while, which bought time for Gao Xiling and others.
Gao Xiling and others hurriedly and slowly arrived in front of the fleeing Japanese and puppet troops. But at this time they had no time to ambush, because they had already seen the Japanese and puppet troops running over, and the Japanese and puppet troops also saw them.
Gaoxiling did not have time to choose any favorable position, so he ordered the guerrillas to lie down on the spot and used firepower to block the escape of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese squad leader knew that there was a large group of pursuers behind him, and when he saw another guerrilla interceptor in front, he immediately felt something bad. He knew that he could not waste time and must defeat the guerrillas blocking the road in front immediately, otherwise, he would be driven away by the main force of the guerrillas. Coming up to surround him, all that awaits him is the annihilation of his entire army.
So he gave the order to the puppet company commander and launched a charge. At the same time, he also took the remnants of his team and rushed forward.
The puppet company commander also knew that this was their only chance to escape, so he bit the bullet and led his defeated soldiers to charge towards the guerrillas.
Although Gao Xiling and his guerrillas fought in a hurry, they did not panic. At this time, they had just won a great victory, their morale was high, and they had a large number of newly captured weapons and ammunition in their hands. Moreover, they knew that as long as they could stop the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them, Xu Dalong would bring a large group of troops to reinforce them. Everyone felt confident, lying on the ground and shooting at the Japanese and puppet troops.
This is a plain area, and the Japanese and puppet troops were completely exposed to firepower. They rushed to a place seventy or eighty meters away from the guerrillas, and they all had to lie down on the ground due to heavy losses.
The Japanese squad leader knew that continuing like this was not an option, so he started organizing the attack again. Just three minutes later, under the cover of machine guns, the Japanese and puppet troops jumped up from the ground again and charged towards the guerrillas.
At this time, the guerrillas were also lying on the ground. Due to the flat terrain, they could not find suitable bunkers. They suffered heavy casualties under the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops. However, the guerrillas still struggled to hold on. No one was willing to take a step back and continued to use firepower to block the enemy.
At this time, Xu Dalong had already arrived with several special forces members. They don't have machine guns in their hands, but they each have a sniper rifle, which is really powerful. Facing the Japanese and puppet troops without bunker protection, this distance of more than 100 meters was much easier than target shooting.
They fired rapidly, killing one Japanese and puppet soldier with every shot fired. In less than two minutes, Xu Dalong and the special operations team members fired an average of more than a dozen shots, and sixty or seventy Japanese and puppet soldiers were sent back to their grandma's house.
The puppet officers and soldiers saw that there was no way to retreat in front of them, and they were brutally attacked by the enemy behind them, and they all lost their combat effectiveness. So under the leadership of the puppet company commander, he surrendered.
When the Japanese squad leader saw that the puppet soldiers were so weak and dared to betray them at this critical moment, he shot at the puppet company commander and killed him. The puppet soldiers were very angry and picked up their guns and shot at the Japanese. Japanese casualties rapidly increased.
Xu Dalong and others saw that the puppet troops had rebelled, so they all targeted the Japanese, and soon all the remaining Japanese were wiped out. By the time Captain Cao arrived with a large group of troops, the battle was completely over.
The guerrillas won a complete victory in this battle. They used only more than 400 guerrillas to train very backward equipment, including many new recruits. In just a few hours, they killed an infantry squadron of the Japanese army and puppet troops. A battalion suffered only more than 60 casualties in total. Such a victory is undoubtedly a miracle.
The guerrillas were all inspired by this huge victory, shouting loudly and cheering for victory.
Gao Xiling was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He held Xu Dalong's hand and expressed his gratitude repeatedly. Xu Dalong was also very pleased. He looked at the cheering guerrillas and knew very well that after this battle, the entire guerrillas had a completely new look. The strength of the guerrillas had been greatly improved and they would be able to face greater battles and battles in the future. Cope with tougher situations.
According to intelligence, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in the county has come out, and the remaining Japanese and puppet troops pose no threat to the guerrillas at all. The guerrillas simply stationed themselves in the town of Maiba.
Xu Dalong sent someone to pick up Mr. Chen and asked him to live with him in Maiba Town.
At the original station of the guerrillas, Mr. Chen was waiting for news from Xu Dalong and others. To be honest, although he knew that Xu Dalong was very powerful in fighting, but with so many Japanese and puppet troops coming, the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas was obviously not as good as that of the Japanese and puppet troops. He was a little worried that the guerrillas would suffer heavy losses and would eventually have to evacuate the base area. , causing the people here to suffer losses. Mr. Chen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The village chief and villagers are even more worried. Although Xu Dalong had assured them that the Japanese and puppet troops would not come to disturb them, the villagers packed up their valuable belongings and prepared to run away.
The good news finally came. A guerrilla correspondent ran into the village. He could not restrain his excitement and shouted as he ran: "We won, the guerrillas won. All the Japanese and puppet troops who came to invade were wiped out."
When the villagers heard the good news, the whole village immediately became excited. They no longer have to worry about running away and suffering the pain of being displaced from their homeland. In order to express their gratitude to the guerrillas, they spontaneously began to prepare meals and prepare to welcome the victorious guerrillas.
Mr. Chen heard the shouting outside and hurried out to greet them. He saw the correspondent running over and asked eagerly: "Is it true that we won the battle? Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
The correspondent was panting from running, and while wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said: "Mr. Chen, I am very thirsty from running. Can you let me drink some water first?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "Oh! Sit down quickly and take a rest." After that, he poured a glass of water himself and handed it to the correspondent.
The correspondent wiped his mouth after drinking the water, and told Mr. Chen the battle process with excitement on his face.
Mr. Chen listened with relish to the correspondent's slightly embellished narration, which made his heart surge and his blood boil. He really did not expect that under the command of Xu Dalong, the guerrillas who lagged behind the Japanese and puppet troops in terms of equipment, training and combat experience would actually kill more than 600 well-equipped and well-trained Japanese soldiers at such a small cost. The puppet troops captured all their weapons and equipment, and the entire battle only lasted a few hours. Although he doesn't have much military knowledge, he also knows how difficult it is to achieve this goal.
When he heard that Xu Dalong asked him to go to the town, he immediately set off and followed the correspondent to Maiba Town.
The village chief and the villagers were preparing meals to entertain the guerrillas who had returned victoriously. They were a little disappointed when they heard that they did not return to the village but went directly to Maiba Town. However, the village chief still came up with a way. He sent a group of young adults to Maiba Town with Mr. Chen and others, bringing the food prepared by each household.
The battle that took place in Maiba Town had a huge impact. People from all over the country heard about the news. A large number of young and middle-aged people were excited about it and came to join the guerrillas.
The commanders of Gaoxiling and the guerrillas were very excited and recruited more than 360 new members at once. These new team members were very lucky. As soon as they joined the guerrillas, they caught up with the guerrillas and made a large number of seizures, and immediately obtained weapons. Unlike the old team members, they only had their own weapons after joining the guerrillas for a long time. A gun.
Xu Dalong and others were stationed in Maiba Town, seizing the time to train their troops and preparing to repel new enemy attacks at any time.
The victory in Maiba Town also alarmed other anti-Japanese guerrillas in surrounding areas. Some guerrillas had difficulty surviving in the local area due to their small strength. After hearing the reputation of the guerrillas in Gaoxiling, they came to join them one after another. Gaoxiling accepted them with Xu Dalong's consent, which suddenly added more than 100 veteran guerrillas with combat experience to the guerrillas, further strengthening the guerrillas' strength.
According to Xu Dalong's proposal, the guerrilla force in Gaoxiling was renamed the Malaysian First Guerrilla Detachment, with a total strength of 840 people. It has a detachment headquarters, a guard platoon, a machine gun platoon, a mortar platoon, a logistics squadron, and three guerrilla brigades, each of which The brigade has three guerrilla squadrons. Xu Dalong took the time to help the guerrillas organize their internal affairs and strengthen the training of the troops.
Chinese chambers of commerce in various places already know that Mr. Chen is in Maiba Town, and he also controls a powerful guerrilla force. They sent people one after another to contact Mr. Chen and brought a large amount of funds and other supplies.
After discussion, Mr. Chen decided to support all this batch of materials to the guerrillas in Gaoxiling, which further enhanced the strength of the guerrillas.
The news of the victory in Maiba Town also shocked the Japanese and puppet troops. Tanaka's sense of smell is very sensitive. After he inquired about the news related to the victory in Maiba Town, he immediately noticed the shadow of Xu Dalong. It is obvious that a well-equipped and powerful Japanese infantry squadron and an accompanying puppet army battalion were completely wiped out by a guerrilla force that was very backward in all aspects. Even a fool can imagine this. There must be a brilliant commander among them. And according to what he knew, there had never been such a powerful figure among the guerrillas here before. Xu Dalong and others are currently operating in Malaysia. It is not difficult to imagine that this is Xu Dalong's masterpiece.
Now Tianzhong has felt that there is no Xu Dalong on Li Qiulin's side. They are just a small force sent by Xu Dalong to attract attention, and Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen should be in Maiba Town.
Tanaka immediately informed Gao Cang of the situation, and Gao Cang suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Xu Dalong. He no longer cared about dealing with Li Qiulin and others who stayed in the mountains, and immediately mobilized his Japanese and puppet troops to rush towards Maiba Town.
Li Qiulin, who was deep in the mountains, received the telegram from Xu Dalong and was very happy. He informed Li Jiming and others about the victory in Maiba Town.
Although Li Jiming's guerrillas and Gaoxiling's guerrillas fought independently, they were very happy to hear that Gaoxiling and others, who were also anti-Japanese armed forces, had won the battle and asked Li Qiulin to congratulate Xu Dalong.
Li Qiulin has received an order from Xu Dalong, asking him to take the special forces members to join him in Maiba Town. So he bid farewell to Li Jiming, Yao Fang and others.
After this period of fighting side by side, Li Jiming and the guerrillas had formed a deep combat friendship with Li Qiulin and his special forces members. When they saw that they were leaving, of course they were reluctant to leave and tried to persuade them to stay.
Of course Li Qiulin can't stay here any longer. In order to thank the guerrillas for their help, he proposed to Li Jiming and Yao Fang that before leaving, they would help the guerrillas fight another battle, seize more weapons and ammunition, and at the same time improve the actual combat level of the guerrillas.
Of course, Li Jiming and Yao Fang also knew that Li Qiulin and others were from China and could not stay here for a long time. They felt very sorry. Hearing that Li Qiulin was going to help them fight another battle calmed their disappointment to a great extent.
Li Qiulin led the guerrillas out of the mountains and sent people to transport back the previously buried weapons and ammunition. Then he attacked a Japanese and puppet army stronghold 30 kilometers away at night, killing more than 40 Japanese soldiers. puppet army.
This battle was mainly fought by the guerrillas, with Li Qiulin and the special forces providing fire support and guidance.
Through this battle, the guerrillas, especially those new members who joined the guerrillas, received actual combat training, which further improved the strength of the guerrillas. After doing all this, Li Qiulin bid farewell again.
Li Jiming, Yao Fang and others took out the best things in the guerrillas and held a sumptuous farewell banquet for Li Qiulin and others.
After the banquet, Li Qiulin and others went to rest first. They planned to leave the guerrilla camp at midnight and join Xu Dalong and others.
