It had been dark for more than two hours. The soldiers of the Second Company, the Ninth Company and the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade had almost run out of their dinner, but they still had not received the order to start dispatching.
"If we don't leave, the security forces will encircle us. What are you doing, Boss Hu? Come on, follow me and don't get lost." Luo Fugui stamped his feet, looking nervous, biting a steamed bun in his mouth.
"You're so nervous. The more critical the moment, the more calm you have to be. You're just shaking your ass."
Tang Dagou, who was lying on the grain bag, cursed Luo Fugui, who was pacing back and forth in the kitchen.
"Grandma, run away as soon as possible. If you are blind, you will run further. You know nothing!"
"Run early, why don't you run during the day and afternoon?"
...
The security army playground was filled with a dark crowd and it was a commotion.
Two figures from the west and two figures from the north hurried back to the military camp. Several figures entered the military camp and quickly ran towards the battalion headquarters.
"The security forces in the west are setting up defense lines..."
"The puppet troops in the north are setting up defense lines..."
When he heard the news that the leading soldiers had returned from reconnaissance, Hu Yi finally stood up. He had been sitting for almost a day. He felt that it was time to set off and rubbed his head with his hands.
All the circumstances confirmed his guess: the security army in the north would definitely judge that there was something wrong with the security army camp because the two reconnaissance puppet troops did not return. It was not difficult to guess the whereabouts of his group. The Japanese and the security army in the north There will be no less than five or six hundred Japanese soldiers and security forces, as well as artillery, and they can't beat them.
The Japanese and the security army determined that the Second Company and the Ninth Company were at the security army camp. They could not go west now. The security army must have established a defense line to the west. There was also Li Youde to the west, which would not leave any space for them to go west. files.
The purpose of staying here is to let the Japanese know that the Eighth Route Army is here.
Gao Yidao still refused to give up: "It's too much for you to change direction before the battle. According to me, it's better to rush directly to the west."
Hu Yi said with a gloomy face: "Including Li Youde in the west, there are nearly a thousand people. Are you going to fight them one by one with bayonets?"
"Okay, give me that heavy machine gun, and we'll each fight our own way."
"dream..."
"Are you still a staff officer?"
"It doesn't matter."
Hu Yi had fought against the Japanese and puppet troops here before. Last time, Hao Ping's third company helped, but this time there were no reinforcements. The Japanese and puppet troops were surrounded on three sides. There were more Japanese troops stationed in the south, so he had to take care of the wounded. There were more than two hundred people, but no one was too lazy to move.
Hu Yi did not discuss with Gao Yidao this time. Based on experience and Ma Liang's reconnaissance, the Japanese cavalry was waiting in the east no more than ten miles away. The night was not suitable for the Japanese cavalry to charge, so The direction chosen for this breakout is the direction of the Japanese cavalry.
The first wave of battle is to defeat the cavalry, and then turn north. With the Japanese and puppet troops in the north knowing the situation here in Xinglong Town and setting up an encirclement, there will be a gap between them and the county seat.
Most of the people attack the Japanese cavalry to the east. Only a few people are left to block the attack and disperse to the town. After successfully attacking the Japanese cavalry, they change their clothes and march north quickly. When they approach the Meixian County seat, they turn west and pass between the county seat and Xinglong Town. .
The security forces have merged with the puppet troops in the county and have established defense lines in the north and west. Then there will be a gap between Meixian County and Xinglong Town. After passing through this gap, they only need to face Li Youde's troops. Green Lao Qin, the puppet soldier in Shuipu, has done his job. With the temper of the puppet soldier, there will be no problem in entering the mountains from there.
The security army needs someone to drag them all to Xinglong Town. After attacking the Japanese cavalry, the security army and the puppet army will reinforce to the east. At that time, the soldiers who are left to block the attack will run north quickly. From the Japanese and puppet troops and Passed through the gaps between the security forces.
If the timing is a little bit wrong...
A squad of the second company has returned from the home of the police force in Duan Town.
The key now is to find the Japanese cavalry squadron.
Min 24 was now mounted on a mule cart. This was Li Xiang's masterpiece all afternoon.
Gao Yidao left a class behind. In the military camp, all the puppet soldiers in the military camp were taken away. From now on, the competition is about foot strength.
In the dark night, news continued to come from the vanguard in the east.
After leaving the east gate of the military camp, Gao Yidao ordered Hu Yi: "You are on the right!" Then he led the other soldiers of the Second Company. Lao Meng hesitated for a while, feeling that there were two roads. Gao Yidao had a lot of people. In order to balance, he led the people Follow Hu Yi from the center directly to the east.
The soldiers of the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade couldn't help but secretly exclaimed. Why don't we go to the right? Why go directly to the east?
Ma Liang took the lead with a leading soldier and walked quickly east.
Luo Fugui held the muzzle of the machine gun and placed it horizontally on the backpack on his back. He stretched out his hand to the right and dragged Xu Xiao to follow him without feeling that it would hit his head.
Under the leadership of the leading soldiers, Lao Qin led two soldiers, took the muzzled mule on the general's mouth, pulled up the mule with a rack on it, and squeaked eastward, followed by Tang Dagou and the two puppet soldiers. .
Hu Yi followed closely behind with Mancang and Xiao Hongying.
Behind them, Li Xiang gathered the other wounded and started to fight.
Under Tang Dagou's instigation, the security forces all joined the Eighth Route Army and mixed with the Qiufeng guerrillas. At this time, they all acted as coolies, pushing wheelbarrows loaded with things that even the security forces who were in the military camp every day could not understand. People came out in huge numbers to the east.
Ten miles, according to Hu Yi's current marching speed, takes about an hour.
The Japanese cavalry must have hidden sentries. As for how to deal with them, that is Gao Yidao's business.
The purpose this time is to reach the Japanese cavalry station. No matter how good the fight is, they will turn north anyway. The worst case scenario is that the leading soldiers will be the first. If it is found that the Japanese and puppet troops have first blocked the gap between Meixian County and Xinglong Town, We can only grit our teeth and fight all the way to the neighboring county and back to the hometown of the Qiufeng guerrillas.
Gao Yidao was a skilled swordsman. In the distance, the camp of the Japanese Cavalry Squadron was in sight. All the wounded soldiers were placed on the spot. The people of the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade were following behind the Ninth Company, nervously.
Gao Yidao has sent a correspondent to report that the entire company has blocked the cavalry's way to the north. The night cavalry cannot match the infantry. If the Japanese cavalry turned into infantry want to compete with Gao Yidao's second company, that is Gao Yidao's favorite.
The mule cart has been driven off the frame, and eight soldiers carry heavy machine guns and the mule cart. This has become a moving firepower point, constantly approaching the Japanese cavalry station.
Hu Yi led Xiao Hongying, and Luo Fugui led Xu Xiao on one side, on both sides of the heavy machine gun.
Li Xiang carried the grenade, and Tang Dagou and Hao Yun carried sixteen grenades obtained from the puppet army camp.
Ma Liang carried the 38 rifle on his back and crawled slowly eastward on the muddy road. From a distance, he could see the Japanese burning a bonfire on the mountain. It seemed that the Japanese cavalry knew the movements of the Eighth Route Army. , not even doing anything to hide.
The horses in the Japanese garrison were snoring. The Japanese squadron leader did not find the village, so he set up camp on a small dirt bag. The Japanese cavalry were well equipped and all had tents.
Eight Japs were on guard all around, and six Japs also formed a patrol team. They circled around regularly without lighting torches.
The distance between the Japanese squadron leader's command knife and Hu Yi's Zhongzheng rifle is 438 meters.
