After controlling the puppet troops, Chu Xiong sent two more squads to the place where the fellow villagers were imprisoned to rescue them, and at the same time killed the dozen black-skinned supervisors who were guarding them. This time, they did not take prisoners, leaving these scoundrels to waste food.
The fellow villagers who guarded the forts for the Japanese were all captured by the Japanese, and most of them had families and families, so almost all of them chose to go home;
Only more than 30 people expressed their intention to participate in the Eighth Route Army's fight against the Japanese and did not want to work for the Japanese anymore. Among them were Mancang and the big man He Youtian.
In the Battle of Longmen Town, Chu Xiong used special operations to annihilate a Japanese squad and a company of puppet soldiers almost without any blood, killing 54 people below the leader of the Japanese squad, wiping out 16 puppet soldiers, and capturing 75 people below the puppet company commander He Liang;
Seized a small group of Japanese weapons and a company of national weapons, rescued more than 260 fellow villagers, 35 of whom were willing to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese;
In order to prevent the captured 75 puppet soldiers from informing the Japanese, none of them were released this time. They either followed the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese or executed justice on the spot. Chu Xiong had no time to accompany them.
"Captain Chu, I, Hong Liang, am willing to follow you to fight the Japanese. I don't want to wear this dog skin anymore!"
"Captain Chu, we are also willing to follow you to fight the Japanese!"
"We do too!"
…
Given the choice of dying or joining the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese and atone for their sins, these puppet soldiers all chose the latter.
Chu Xiong also knew that their transformation would not be completed so quickly, but the Independent Regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army had very successful experience in transforming the puppet army;
In addition, these puppet troops have just been reorganized by the Japanese, and their hands have not yet been stained with the blood of the Chinese people. It can be seen from their efforts to clean up the black dogs for their fellow villagers that their conscience has not been wiped out. Such puppet troops are very dangerous. Easy to transform.
"Dapeng, send someone to notify the first platoon and ask them to come and meet. All these puppet troops were dispersed and replenished to the second and third platoons. The more than 30 newly joined fellow villagers were each issued a set of Japanese equipment, and all were replenished to the second and third platoons. a row;
Quickly integrate the troops and we will leave Longmen Town before dawn! "
Chuxiong still adopts the method of bringing the old with the new, integrating it first. After breaking through the Japanese blockade, although he still has to pass through the Japanese defense zone later, the risk is not great anymore.
The main force of the Japs was huddled in the county towns and big cities like Zezhou. There were almost no traces of the Japs in the vast countryside. The so-called defense zones were in name only, and they did not even dare to send troops to the countryside to collect food.
However, when passing through the defense areas of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, you must be extra careful. The two sides are now at constant friction, and some places have blatantly attacked the Eighth Route Army.
With the adjustment of the Japanese policy toward China, the military pressure on the Sichuan government has been greatly reduced, and they have begun to commit their old habits again. The honeymoon period of the two sides' joint resistance to Japan has passed, and the first anti-organizational climax is about to come.
In the memory of Chu Xiong's previous life, the climax should have been three months later. In December 1939, Fatty Hu's troops in the northwest invaded five counties including Chunhua and Zhengning of the border region government and sixteen districts on the border. Yanzhou;
From June to December before this, the diehards attacked the Shandong Column alone more than 90 times, killing more than 1,350 anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and detaining nearly 1,000 anti-Japanese cadres and soldiers.
Also in December, Commander Yan of the Shanxi-Sui Army in Hedong launched the December Incident and attacked the Anti-Japanese Death Column (New Army);
From February to March 1940, the stubborn army's Petroleum No. 3, Zhu Huaibing and other units cooperated with the Japanese and puppets to attack the Eighth Route Army headquarters in southeast Shanxi. The 129th Division cooperated with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei southward troops to annihilate the two main divisions of Zhu Huai's army. More than 10,000 troops and anti-communist dissidents were armed, thus repelling the first anti-organizational climax of the stubborn army.
Now is the time when the stubborn army is gearing up and preparing to fight in order to claim credit and rewards from Shu. Chu Xiong has brought such a large amount of equipment. It would be strange for the stubborn army not to be jealous.
In order to avoid friction with the stubborn army, Chu Xiong decided to give in and take a mountain trail to pass through the edge of the stubborn army's defense zone.
It's not that I'm afraid of them, but I don't want my own people to beat my own people and let the Japanese gain advantage.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the troops were integrated and continued to pass through the Japanese defense zone;
A few hours later, he successfully passed the Japanese defense area and entered the 338th regiment's defense area.
"Captain, further ahead is the defense area of the 338th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Their commander Li Chendong also had some friendship with us before. It is said that they are not shy about fighting Japanese invaders. Do you want to inform them?"
Chu Dapeng reported to Chu Xiong.
"Dapeng, Li Chendong is unambiguous when it comes to beating up Japanese enemies, and he is also unambiguous about beating up his own people. This is no longer a year ago!
The stubborn troops are looking for trouble with our Eighth Route Army everywhere. If they know that we are carrying so much equipment and passing through their defense zone, Li Chendong will most likely take action. "
"Notify everyone to prepare for battle and take out 10 rocket launchers. Once the stubborn troops attack us, don't be polite to them!"
Hejia Town, where the 338th Regiment is based, the whereabouts of Chu Xiong and others have not escaped their notice;
There was no way, this was their defense area, hundreds of people came in, if they couldn't be found, Li Chendong wouldn't be alive now.
As soon as Li Yuanzheng entered the headquarters, he said in a loud voice:
"Captain, I figured it out. They are from the Eighth Route Army. There are about 300 people. There are at least 200 military horses and a dozen mules and horses. The mules and horses carry a lot of supplies. It seems that there are a lot of good things."
Li Chendong nodded. He had been busy lately, and he was worried that he didn't have anything to offer. He was really dozing off, so he gave me a pillow...
"Expedition, have you found out whose army it is?"
“No, they are very vigilant and our scouts don’t dare to get too close to them;
This group of eight-robbers is very evil, they only go outside, and it makes it difficult for me to surround them even if I want to! "
After Li Yuanzheng finished speaking, Li Chendong began to think deeply about the map. He was considering where the best place to take action...
Ten minutes later, Li Chendong seemed to have made up his mind and punched the map hard.
"The expedition is here. 200 war horses are delivered to my mouth. If I don't eat, I will be looked down upon by others!"
"We brought the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, and Artillery Battalion and ambush here. This is the only way for the Eighth Route Army to pass through the defense zone. With a strength ratio of 7 to 1, we will also make dumplings for these Tubal soldiers."
Li Yuanzheng became excited when he heard this. He had long been interested in this group of war horses. After this battle was completed, a cavalry battalion should be added to the battle order of the 338th Regiment.
Li Chendong is really a ruthless character. If he doesn't take action, he will concentrate the strength of most of the group and want to swallow up all eight groups.
His principle is to do something big or not, but what he doesn't know is that this time his opponent is Chu Xiong, otherwise he will bring the whole group with him!
