The gunfire was particularly intense in the semi-hilly areas to the south.
The Japanese captain urgently ordered all the imperial troops to immediately dispatch troops for reinforcements.
Battalion Commander Wu of the Meixian Security Army left part of the garrison to mop up the blockade line. He led the two companies together and was ordered to go south. The long team, holding torches, marched nervously from north to south to the west of the mopping line, looking up to the south from time to time.
The pseudo-company commander next to him suggested: "Battalion Commander, do we need to reorganize our formation because we are fooling around?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The imperial army issued a death order. They organized the team just half an hour ago. Do you want to cause trouble again?"
"Hey, battalion commander, this life belongs to you. The Imperial Army instructors didn't even ask us to march in a hurry. Why are we so anxious?"
While the two were talking, the messenger from the front ran over: "Report to the battalion commander, the imperial army ordered our troops to extinguish the torches and turn west on the spot!"
"I got it." Battalion Commander Wu knew that the imperial army's orders must be obeyed. As for why they were heading west, there was no need to think about it. They must be outflanking the Eighth Route Army's retreat!
The puppet troops panicked and turned westward.
"Brother, we have found enemies in front, at least two companies. They were heading south with torches before, but now they are turning west in columns." Ma Liang ran to Hu Yi to report, and then expressed his opinion: "I think they are fake reinforcements. Army, we can now go south for a while and then continue east, so that we won't run into them head-on."
Hu Yi looked to the south. The situation was unclear now. It was a bit troublesome to bypass the Second Company and the Japanese battlefield so far north and still encounter the enemy. However, Ma Liang's suggestion was good. He immediately ordered: "Everyone stops heading east and marches urgently to the south." , and then go east again after one mile."
The team carrying guns and long guys disappeared under the hazy moonlight.
The girl was hanging behind Luo Fugui, swinging her legs and running in the darkness.
Tang Dagou followed closely behind him with thousands of tips: "I mean, Dagou, why are you bringing an oil bottle with you when you go out to fight?"
Tang Dagou was stunned for a moment, this guy actually underestimated the devil: "What the hell do you know?"
Wan looked closely at the team that looked like a health team: "There is not a single wounded person in the team, why are you bringing such a stretcher? Are you going to collect the corpses from the Eighth Route Army later?"
"Shut up now!"
Hu Yi asked Tang Dagou to bring ten thousand weapons. When planning to cross the blockade, it would be best if they could not make any noise. After all, the first step of the operation was to cross the mopping up puppet blockade, which might come in handy.
Half an hour later, the team had marched ten miles, and there were fires everywhere along the front blockade. The puppet soldiers were not stupid. They lit fires in the wilderness, which at least prevented others from fishing in troubled waters.
In the light of the fire, there was a team of more than 100 people, and more than 30 stretchers were all "wounded", and without exception they were covered in blood.
Hu Yi, along with Ma Liang, Tang Dagou and Wan Xi, was going to the village to "explain" the situation to the pseudo-company commander stationed here!
The puppet company commander was at the entrance of the village: "What are you talking about? You are the security forces of Xinglong Town? I have long heard that you have been fighting with the Eighth Route Army. How many injuries have you sustained?"
Big Dog kindly imparted his experience to the pseudo-company commander: "Damn, I got more than thirty injured and two hundred dead. It's so fucking cruel. You must be careful of their landmines!"
The puppet company commander immediately thanked you with regret: "Thank you for reminding me to send our brothers back to the city quickly. I still have to guard the blockade. The imperial army has sent some troops to the west for reinforcements. We really can't spare anyone to help you!" "
Under the gaze of the puppet soldiers, the team slowly headed east and passed directly through the village.
A puppet soldier looked at the retreating team: "Company commander, I saw that several of them still had bayonet wounds on their chests. They didn't die even though they were alive. What a damn fate!"
The pseudo company commander was shocked: "What are you talking about? Is there a bayonet wound on the chest?"
The puppet soldier wiped his tears: "I think they are really miserable. The wounded are covered in blood. I don't know if they can survive."
"I'm asking you to see how many wounded soldiers have bayonet wounds on their chests?"
"It seems that most of them have it!"
The pseudo-company commander was stunned and thought carefully about the details. This was wrong! More than two hundred people died? That guy seems to be still laughing. Besides, most of the wounded were not bandaged after being stabbed with such big holes by bayonets.
The puppet company commander's heart was beating fast. Damn it, where are these friendly forces? This damn guy must be the Eighth Route Army!
I went through countless circles in my mind, and they also kindly reminded me to be aware of landmines.
This news needs to be reported immediately!
He immediately turned around and shouted: "The messenger"
This skill was like an ant on a hot pot, the Eighth Route Army actually ran past his defense area. According to the regulations of the imperial army, he would probably be beheaded!
what to do?
Out of urgency comes wisdom!
Now that the Eighth Route Army has been let go, just pretend not to know. The Imperial Army instructor is not in the village at this time. As long as you tell your subordinates to be stricter, the Imperial Army may not know about this!
"Company commander, what do you want to tell me?" The ordering soldier ran to the company commander and saw that the face of the fake company commander turned blue and white.
What's more important than your own life? If he dies, his wife in the city doesn’t know who will take advantage of her. Even her son might have to take someone else’s surname.
Thinking of this, the pseudo company commander no longer hesitated: "Immediately notify all platoon leaders and squad leaders to return to the village for a meeting!"
My heart aches and my ears are ringing. This matter needs to be kept secret!
The wounded jumped off the stretchers. No one expected that it would be so easy to cross the blockade this time!
Not a shot fired!
After traveling four miles, something happened ahead.
The leading soldier Ma Liang ran back: "Brother, we found the people of the Second Company hiding in the dark. As soon as they saw us, they spread their legs and ran away like rabbits."
There were constant gunfire from the south and intense gunfire from the west. Hu Yi frowned: "You didn't reveal your identity?"
"The top soldiers shouted, but they didn't believe it at all."
"Why don't you just call Gao Yidao's name. If that doesn't work, just yell Kuaiji and they will know the situation." Big Dog quickly suggested.
"Everyone shouted"
"Did Erlian take the wrong medicine? This is weird."
Down a slope in the south.
"Platoon commander, another group of puppet troops came from the west, calling the names of the company commander and Kuaiji again." A soldier ran to the top of the slope.
"Damn traitors, we encountered two groups of puppet troops in such a short period of time!" The platoon leader looked at the team that was missing half of his men. The first two times, puppet troops pretended to be the Eighth Route Army, and even shouted that the second company was not successful. If the name of the young man had not been discovered in time, and the wounded soldier was brave enough to pull a grenade and die with the enemy, the whole army would not have been wiped out at this time.
A comrade must have been captured by the enemy, and he told the details of the second company. Now the situation is more serious. Unexpectedly, another group came from the north. Is this puppet army a fool, thinking that I will be fooled?
North.
Ma Liang quickly figured out the details: "Brother, maybe there was an enemy pretending to be the Eighth Route Army, and the soldiers left behind by the Second Company suffered losses."
Hu Yi nodded. The Second Company Soldier did not believe him. This matter was indeed a headache: "We must find a way to contact them. They are more familiar with the terrain here than us."
Although I say this, the current situation is that people don't believe it at all. It is really troublesome to identify friend or foe behind enemy lines.
Luo Fugui, who was next to him, curled his lips: "Grandma's place is full of gunshots. It's no surprise that they can't hear our voices. Let the girl roar twice. I don't believe they can't hear us!"
Hu Yi and Ma Liang were both stunned for a moment, as if this was what happened.
A few minutes later, the girl's crisp voice floated in the darkness: "The two hundred and five men under the shameless Gao Yidao, come here quickly."
Not far away from the slope, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies heard the sound and immediately muttered to the people next to them with great joy: "Oh, that wicked girl was also captured by the enemy. Do you think I should be happy now?"
The platoon leader next to him kicked the idiot who was leaning out.
Then he turned to his squad leader and asked, "What a wicked girl's voice!"
The squad leader next to him was also stunned: "Didn't they already cross the blockade? Why are they here again?"
The platoon leader shook his head: "With Company Commander Hu here, the possibility of the girl being caught is very small. She suddenly appeared here. Who knows what happened?"
The squad leader immediately suggested: "It won't be long before dawn, we have to prepare to retreat!"
"" The platoon leader frowned speechlessly, seeing that the task of beating the Japanese and transporting heavy supplies could not be completed!
"I'll go over and take a look now!" The squad leader was equally anxious.
The platoon leader nodded: "No matter what the situation is, this matter must be clarified! When you go over, be careful to keep a distance from them. If the girl is really caught, we must rescue her even if we all sacrifice!"
Another squad leader next to him muttered: "What? She is our mortal enemy!"
The platoon leader was annoyed: "You are an enemy. Our disagreement with the Ninth Company is an internal matter. If our comrades fall into the hands of the enemy, we have to find a way to rescue them."
The squad leader asked cautiously: "The Japanese have captured so many of our brothers, why didn't you arrange a rescue?"
The platoon leader was stunned for a moment: "Hey, you kid actually talked back to me?"
"Hey, that wicked thing is always against us, you still want to save her? I have a problem."
"You have such a big opinion! You have to keep it for me. Now let's find out the situation first."
