When Li Yuanzheng heard this, he was too lazy to talk about it and went straight to the topic:
"Battle Commander Yan, let's not talk about this for now. These bandits on Qinglong Mountain have been causing trouble to our hometown for many years. You and the Eighth Route Army should just wipe them out!
They previously attacked our army's baggage train and robbed our army of a large amount of supplies and military pay, including 50,000 yuan in silver dollars. Since you have wiped out the bandits, please hand over this batch of supplies to us and return them to their original owners. ! "
Yan Haoyu said in surprise:
"Is this happening? We didn't find this batch of supplies!"
He turned around and asked Hu Shuangquan:
"Hu Shuangquan, have you robbed this batch of supplies before?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Shuangquan quickly shook his head and said:
"It's okay. How dare we bandits steal the things belonging to Master Jinsuijun? Maybe they are devils pretending to be soldiers!"
The guards were about to say that the Jin-made submachine guns in their hands belonged to them, but Li Yuanzheng raised his hand to stop them. They were all lying and there was no point in talking anymore. The 338th Regiment had more than just submachine guns.
"Battle Commander Yan, this is not a small amount of supplies. It is at least a battalion's worth of equipment and tens of thousands of dollars. If it is just a small amount, you Eighth Route Army can just take it!
Keep a line in everything so that we can meet each other in the future. In this way, you can leave a company's equipment and 5,000 yuan, and the rest can be returned to the original owner, right? "
Li Yuanzheng saw that his opponent was pushing four, five, and six, so he had to change his strategy. If he got some blood, he would be dismissed as a beggar.
"Captain Li, I also really want to get this batch of equipment and oceans. Don't you know that our Eighth Route Army is poor? It's all in the national battle order. We haven't seen military pay and supplies for more than a year!
As you just heard, we have never seen this batch of supplies, so you should look elsewhere!
Besides, even if Nan Batian robs your things and we wipe out the bandits, those are still our spoils. The spoils belong to the winner. This is an international practice. "
Yan Haoyu's words actually made it very clear. Those who robbed the Shanxi-Sui Army were bandits. If they got past it, they would be the spoils of the Eighth Route Army. There was never any reason to return the spoils.
Li Yuanzheng knew that there would be no results if he continued talking, and his fists were not as strong as others. Besides, now that his identity was clear, any more fighting would undermine the war of resistance.
"Battle Commander Yan, this matter won't be resolved easily. It's not a trivial matter. We will complain to the commander's department and we'll see you later. Say goodbye!"
"Captain Li, walk slowly!"
Li Yuanzheng left without even looking back. Yan Haoyu turned to Hu Shuangquan and said:
"Shuangquan, you did the right thing this time. Regarding these friendly forces, our principle is not to fire the first shot, but to hurt them if they do. Whatever happens afterwards, we must take advantage of the righteousness!"
After Hu Shuangquan was praised by the captain, he felt very happy and thought to himself:
"I followed the captain's advice today. These blue dogs just need to be dealt with!"
"Dual authority, leave this to Chen Hao. As the deputy captain, you must patrol the entire brigade's defense areas regularly to avoid being attacked by others."
Yan Haoyu explained to Hu Shuangquan again and then left. According to his judgment, the 338th Regiment should not fight again. After all, the two sides have not yet broken up.
Li Yuanzheng had more than 20 wounded and wounded brothers carried and returned to Hejia Town in great depression...
"Ta-ta-ta!"
"Bagou, Bagou!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Raining bullets and artillery shells were fired at the marching battalion, and a large section of the Jinsui Army fell instantly...
"Batalion Commander, Japs, we are surrounded by Japs!"
The first company commander shouted loudly.
"Retreat! Break out toward Qinglong Mountain. Brothers, fight the Japanese!"
After Li Yuanzheng finished shouting, he charged towards Qinglong Mountain with the box cannon in his hand. The Japanese covered them from behind and knocked down the Jinsui troops running behind one by one.
The sound of exchange of fire here quickly alerted the guerrilla brigade, and the peripheral security posts also reported the situation to Yan Haoyu.
As soon as Yan Haoyu was ready to fight, Li Yuanzheng and others retreated all the way, followed by a large number of Japs. The Jinsui Army suffered a big loss this time...
"Let the artillery squad conduct fire interception on the Japanese and support friendly forces!"
In order to support Li Yuanzheng, Yan Haoyu finally used the artillery squad.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three mortars fired fiercely at the Japanese forward, catching the Japanese by surprise. The Japanese lay down to avoid the gunfire. Only then did the remnants of the 1st Battalion of the 338th Regiment escape the Japanese pursuit and retreat to the top of the chessboard.
The Japanese wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack the top of the mountain chessboard, but were intercepted by several machine guns of the guerrillas. Seeing that they had no advantage for the time being, the Japanese took cover and retreated to a safe distance.
What surprised the Japanese was that the bandits on the mountain actually rescued the Jinsui Army, making their intention to annihilate the Jinsui Army go bankrupt.
Li Yuanzheng's battalion was full of more than 800 people, but only more than 300 people were beaten by the Japanese, and more than half of them were killed or injured. If the Eighth Route Army had not come to help, his battalion would have been here.
Li Yuanzheng looked at his troops, which had shrunk by more than half, with tears in his eyes. These brothers were still fine an hour or two ago...
Yan Haoyu patted his shoulder and said:
"The Japs are about to attack the mountain. Can we come together?"
"I'm not done with those stupid devils!"
Li Yuanzheng roared through gritted teeth.
"Captain Li, the Japs must have come because of the internal strife between our two families this time. They probably want to wait until we both lose, and then they will kill us all!"
Li Yuanzheng was not stupid, so he naturally guessed it and blushed for a rare moment...
"Battle Commander Li, no matter how many conflicts we have, we should not start fighting with our own people again before the Japanese are beaten away. This will only make the Japanese more advantageous, don't you think?"
"Battle Commander Yan, it's our brothers' fault this time. Thank you for saving us regardless of past grudges!
Without you, our entire battalion would have to stay here, and the supplies would be put aside in advance and left to the officers to deal with. Brothers promise not to cause trouble behind our backs, and we will fight off the Japanese together. "
Li Yuanzheng naturally knew what Yan Haoyu was worried about. This was the base of the Eighth Route Army. It would be a big risk to let more than 300 of his people in. After all, the two sides still had unresolved disputes.
Li Yuanzheng was not a ungrateful person, so he took the initiative to make it clear that he would have to argue over the material matter, but he would no longer use force to solve it.
"Batalion Commander Li, you have also seen that we have artillery, but we never used it when you attacked. It was originally used to trick the Japanese, but it was exposed in order to support you;
I say this not to ask you to thank us, but to tell the brothers of the Jinsui Army that we can no longer do things that please our relatives and hate our enemies. The devils want to destroy our country and our species. "
Yan Haoyu's words were not only meant for Li Yuanzheng, but also for all the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army.
Li Yuanzheng nodded and continued:
"Battle Commander Yan, this is your territory. You are familiar with it, so you can give it unified command!
There are a lot of people in this group of Japs, they won't just withdraw like this, they will do their bitch! "
