Zhou Weiguo and others just stayed away from the town, but they did not leave. There was no place to get food within more than ten kilometers around, so they could only stare at Meilin Town to collect wool.
"Captain, are you still planning to go to Meilin Town to get food?"
Kevin Yang asked curiously.
“Brothers, after the supply warehouse in Meilin Town was completely blown up, Meilin Town will no longer be as important to the devils as it was before;
Even if they don't give up, there won't be too many Japs left. After the Japs force leaves, we can make another sneak attack. By then we should be able to get some food from the Japs. "
"Everyone has a rest first. After dawn, we will go explore the background of the Japanese!"
Zhou Weiguo and others had no choice. They were surrounded by poverty-stricken yellow areas. Only Liulin Town was prosperous. Without enough food, they could not leave.
Liulin Town was in chaos. More than half of the Japs in Jiangsen's squadron died in the explosion. Captain Jiangsen was directly blown into pieces. More than 80% of the materials stored in the warehouse were lost, and only a small amount of food was snatched away.
An hour later, a squadron of Japanese reinforcements arrived;
After they arrived, they searched the whole town for the sneak attacker, but unfortunately they searched the entire town and couldn't find a single suspicious person.
Liulin Town is a model security area in the surrounding area. The Japs usually have very strict control, and few outsiders enter. It is not easy for them to go on a killing spree in the town without finding any suspicious persons.
After daybreak, the Japanese reinforcements searched the surrounding areas again and then withdrew to the county seat. Meilin Town had lost the value of a heavy garrison;
Only one detachment of Japs and 30 to 40 puppet troops were left in Meilin Town. The others all withdrew to the county seat. When they withdrew, they also escorted away the unburned grain, leaving only half a month's supplies for them. .
This information was quickly detected by Zhou Weiguo and others. As he expected, it was just a small town in a yellow area, and the Japanese couldn't afford to support it if there were too many people.
"Brothers, I have found out the details of the Japs. There are only a dozen Japs and a platoon of puppet troops. Let's attack Meilin Town tonight and kill these dozen Japs!"
Yang Kaiwen and others were very excited after hearing this, and they could finally get food;
If they don't get food, they will starve!
That night, five men from Zhou Weiguo attacked Meilin Town again, killing 13 Japanese soldiers, defeating a puppet platoon, killing 7 puppet soldiers, and capturing 11 people;
More than 400 rounds of 7.92mm bullets were seized from the puppet troops, and each person was given more than 20 kilograms of grain. Strong men like Zhou Weiguo each carried more than 40 kilograms of grain and canned beef. The rest were given to the people in the town. Common people.
The five Zhou Weiguo people evacuated Meilin Town that day and continued northward.
After having sufficient food, they marched faster and finally got out of the yellow flood zone before the food was exhausted.
It has been more than a month since they left Shanghai. Although there are still hundreds of kilometers to go, as long as they have money, it is not that difficult to get food;
A few days later, Meng Jiaqi left the army and went to Taihang Mountain alone, while Zhou Weiguo and others went to Zhongtiao Mountain, once again parting ways for their respective beliefs.
More than ten days later, Meng Jiaqi finally arrived at the outskirts of the Anping base area after going through untold hardships. What awaited her was not the flowers she was expecting, but more than a dozen guns from the Eighth Route Army...
"Put your hands up!"
Surrounding her was a squad from the 3rd Battalion of the 882nd Regiment. As soon as she entered the security area, she was spotted by this squad and a pocket formation was set up for her;
This was the first time that she was surrounded by people at such a close distance. She seemed to have forgotten that she was still wearing the uniform of the Central Military Special Forces.
She originally wanted to resist, but when she saw that the other party was wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms, she didn't fire, but she didn't put down the gun either;
She will never put down her gun at any time unless she dies!
"Comrade Eighth Route Army, don't get me wrong, I'm here to join you. I know Chu Xiong, yes, and the high political commissar!"
The squad leader in charge of the strange military uniform she wore did not recognize her, but he did recognize the blue sky and white sun on the helmet. It was a white dog;
No, it should be said that they are friendly forces. Since they are not Japanese soldiers, they cannot go too far. When the opponent's gun is pointed at the ground, it is not easy for him to hand over the opponent's gun.
"This friendly soldier knows that we have many brigade commanders and political commissars. We need to verify it. I hope you can cooperate?"
Meng Jiaqi nodded, then put away her gun. The squad leader did not put away her gun either, but just used her eyes to signal the veterans to keep an eye on her.
A few hours later, she met Li Qing, the leader of the 882nd Regiment. Li Qing looked at Meng Jiaqi very curiously;
He now knew that the girl opposite him had traveled all the way from Shanghai to the base area to join the Eighth Route Army. It sounded like a legendary story, which aroused his great interest.
Meng Jiaqi also looked at Li Qing curiously. She felt like he was a high-ranking official and looked familiar, but it was definitely not Chu Xiong or Political Commissar Gao. She just heard that a leader from the Eighth Route Army wanted to see her, so she followed him.
Meng Jiaqi spoke first. She decided to change from passive to active. As a girl, she felt embarrassed to be stared at all the time.
"Chief, you are not Chu Xiong, nor a high political commissar. I think you look familiar. Can I ask your name?"
"interesting!"
Li Qing couldn't help but smile and said to Meng Jiaqi:
"My name is Li Qing, the leader of the 882nd Regiment. Do you know our brigade commander and political commissar?"
Meng Jiaqi has a very good memory, and she will always be impressed by the names that enter her ears. This is also a skill of a sniper, the ability to distinguish people and scenery;
As soon as he heard Li Qing's name, he remembered that there was indeed a platoon leader named Li Qing beside Chu Xiong at that time, but he didn't expect that he was already the regiment leader.
Meng Jiaqi said excitedly:
"Of course I know Company Commander Chu. I also know that you were the platoon leader at that time, and Political Commissar Gao was the battalion commander. We fought the Japanese together. At that time, a Central Army detachment came from Liu Town. Do you remember Zhou Weiguo? ?”
Li Qing finally remembered that at that time it was still the Seventh Company, and now it is an independent brigade!
"Girl, I remember, are you from Zhou Weiguo's special agent team?"
The rest was easy to handle. Not to mention Meng Jiaqi coming to join the Eighth Route Army, Li Qing had to receive her like a distinguished guest based on their fighting friendship.
After hearing Meng Jiaqi's experience, Li Qing had more respect for Meng Jiaqi and lamented what happened to Zhou Weiguo's special team.
"Comrade Meng Jiaqi, do you want to rest in the 882nd Regiment for a while, or do you need me to send you directly to Liulin? Our brigade commander should be very happy to see you."
Meng Jiaqi blushed and said:
"Will this trouble Commander Li?"
