Li Yunlong had a panoramic view of the situation through the telescope, "Haha, pillar, fire! Three rounds at high speed!"
"Tum, tom, tom!"
Just when Huang Tianning and the other five were about to make a desperate move, three shells whizzed and accurately landed on the little devil's head.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In the fire and dust, more than a dozen little devils were basically wiped out.
The few remaining Japs and the few puppet soldiers who were close by were shot by two machine guns four rows behind them before they could react, leaving bloody holes all over their bodies.
"Charge!" Under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao, all four rows of soldiers opened fire and charged.
Seeing the people around them falling down covered in blood, the remaining puppet troops were frightened by the astonishing firepower and fell to the ground in panic.
Listening to the continuous whistle of bullets in the air, the puppet soldiers thought they had encountered a large force of the national army, so they closed their eyes and shouted loudly, "Grandfather of the national army, spare your life! Surrender!"
Not only them, but Huang Tianning and the other five thought that their own troops were coming when they heard the powerful firepower.
"Brothers, there is help, they are our reinforcements!"
But when they poked their heads out to take a look, they found that the facts were somewhat different from what they had imagined.
The opponent was wearing a brand new dark gray military uniform, he was obviously the Eighth Route Army!
"Let's go. After all, they saved our lives, and we are still friendly forces. We should be grateful that they didn't save us at the risk of death!"
After Zhang Dabiao and his four platoons took control of the situation and captured all the puppet troops, Huang Tianning and the other five slowly walked out with unsteady steps.
Zhang Dabiao was directing the soldiers to take the puppet troops into custody. "Be honest, squad leader. Watch carefully. If anyone acts crooked, I will shoot him and send him on his way!"
"Company commander, they are coming!" A soldier pointed behind Zhang Dabiao.
Zhang Dabiao greeted him enthusiastically, "Are the brothers injured? Are you hungry? Xiao Wu, get some food for the brothers!"
Not only Li Yunlong had made up his mind, but Zhang Dabiao also wanted to add these people to his team.
Huang Tianning and others were a little confused. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, this Eighth Route Army soldier seemed to be too kind to them!
Huang Tianning hurriedly waved his hand, "Sir, we are fine, we are just a little out of strength!"
But when Xiao Wu ran over holding the steamed bun and kettle, the eyes of the people behind Huang Tianning fell on Xiao Wu's arms involuntarily, and they kept swallowing, and their stomachs rumbled.
Zhang Dabiao laughed and said, "You guys need to fill your stomachs first. Our commander will be here later. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later!"
"Thank you, sir!" Huang Tianning did not refuse Zhang Dabiao's kindness. They had not eaten for two days.
Zhang Dabiao asked Xiao Wu to put down the food and water, and then left to give them space.
"Everyone, let's eat!" With Huang Tianning's approval, several people hurriedly grabbed a few buns and began to devour them.
"Ahem... Gudong... Gudong... Ha... I'm finally alive!"
A national soldier drank a large amount of water, felt his stomach and belly being filled, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
As the five people filled their stomachs, they felt their bodies gradually regain some strength and began to discuss in a low voice.
"Platoon leader, this group of eight is so strange!"
The soldier looked around carefully, "Did you see it? Not only are the military uniforms new, but the weapons in their hands are also new!"
Another soldier took over, "Well, this is just one platoon. I roughly counted them, and they actually have more than a dozen submachine guns! And they are all models I have never seen before!"
After saying that, he looked aside and said, "Old Liu, you are well-informed. Have you seen these weapons?"
Lao Liu, the oldest, shook his head, "I haven't seen it either, but their machine guns look familiar. Xiao Yi, do you see anything?"
When Xiao Yi was eating just now, his eyes were fixed on the machine guns carried on the shoulders of the four rows of soldiers who were coming over.
Huang Tianning and others looked at Xiao Yi, "It is the same system as the MG-38 machine gun from Germany, it should be a derivative!"
Several people were shocked when they heard this, "Hey, it's still imported. When did the Eighth Road become so broad?"
"Platoon commander, do you think this is the security force of the Eighth Route Army headquarters?"
Huang Tianning interrupted to see a few people guessing and thinking, "Okay, stop guessing. If he is really the commander of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, he won't embarrass us top soldiers!"
"Later, when our parents are here, please be smarter. Salute when you should and don't talk nonsense. We don't want to interfere in the matters above. Do you understand?"
The other people repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, platoon leader, we all know it!"
After a while, Li Yunlong rushed over with Wang Chengzhu and others, and directly found Zhang Dabiao, "Dabiao, where is the person?"
"Eating over there." Zhang Dabiao raised his hand and pointed not far away. Li Yunlong took a look and knew that the other party had almost eaten, so he walked over directly.
Zhang Dabiao followed Li Yunlong and talked about his observations, "Battalion Commander, looking at their condition, they don't look like they were defeated on the battlefield, but they look like they ran away from a prisoner of war camp!"
"Yes, I understand." Li Yunlong nodded, feeling even more satisfied. He was not afraid of being a prisoner, did not join the puppet army as a traitor, and could still run out to fight with the Japs. He was a strong-willed man.
When they saw Li Yunlong coming with Zhang Dabiao with a smile on his face, Huang Tianning and the other five quickly stood up and saluted.
Li Yunlong raised his hand in salute and asked kindly, "What do you call me brother? Which army do you belong to? Why are the little Japs blocked here?"
Huang Tianning proudly talked about his unit number, "Sir, I am Huang Tianning, captain and platoon leader of the 17th Division of the 38th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. They are all my subordinates."
"The 38th Army?!" Li Yunlong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these people were still members of the 38th Army.
"Haha, you 38th Army are all good, and you did a good job at Niangziguan and Zhongtiao Mountain!"
As the sedan chair was carrying people, Li Yunlong came up and praised him first.
Speaking of the Battle of Niangziguan, the eyes of Huang Tianning and the other five people were a little red. Too many of them died there. "Thank you for the compliment, sir!"
I couldn't help but have a good impression of Li Yunlong in my heart.
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "That's what you deserve, tell me? What's going on?"
Huang Tianning's tone was a little heavy, "We were captured when we retreated from Niangziguan, and were later imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp in Jinzhong."
"Recently, for some unknown reason, the Japs suddenly moved us from the Jinzhong prisoner-of-war camp to near Jiexiu."
"On the way to transfer, we took the opportunity to kill a Japanese officer, snatched his gun, started a riot, and rushed out!"
"We snatched some weapons from the Japs. With the Japs chasing us, we fought and escaped for two days. Finally, we were cornered and blocked here!"
Listening to Huang Tianning's information, Li Yunlong suddenly had an idea.
But first, after accepting the few people in front of him, Li Yunlong was unambiguous, "You are all good guys, where are you going to go next? Why don't you just follow me?!"
Hearing that the Eighth Route Army commander wanted to recruit him and others, Huang Tianning wanted to refuse, but after all, he had saved his and others' lives, so it would not be good to refuse directly.
The first choice was of course to return to the original army. Huang Tianning had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, expressing his meaning from the side, "I wonder if sir, can you tell me where the 38th Army is now?"
