When Wang Sanzhu saw the Eighth Route Army rushing up, he immediately retreated with a few of his old bandits.
As the commander-in-chief, he was supposed to issue a retreat order. At this time, the bandits were already panicking. Seeing that most of the bandits were running north, why did he give the order? Under the cover of brother Feng, he ran directly to the west, because those in the west were his direct descendants.
The bandits just ran away!
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army recruits had achieved victory, and there were no new orders issued on the battlefield for the time being, the recruits didn't care about anything else and just searched for guns and bullets on the ground!
One recruit even forgot that when picking up a gun, one should not point the gun at anyone, certainly not at oneself.
He grabbed a rifle on the ground and pulled it away. The bandit who was pretending to be dead on the ground and planning to surrender was so frightened that he peed his pants. The finger that was holding the rifle subconsciously pressed the trigger. A ball of fire suddenly appeared from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet hit the target directly. Get into the recruit's chest.
The recruit threw himself to the ground without even saying a word.
"Ah!" Geng Ting, who was watching the fallen soldier on the ground, shouted and struggled to get up, but as soon as he moved, his exhausted body fell down again.
The bandit on the ground was also confused: I became a bandit just to earn a living. From the beginning of the battle to now, I have been firing blank shots into the sky... I just want to be a qualified prisoner!
Unexpectedly, I still killed an eight-year-old!
If I were caught by the Eighth Route Army now...
It's definitely a capital crime. Now I'm in big trouble. Where is my biological mother? What should I do now?
Geng Ting's guards, who were cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, were lighting a torch and looking for the battalion commander anxiously.
As the torch swayed, the bandit who was in a daze on the ground finally noticed a detail. The clothes worn by the Eighth Route Army... seemed to be the same as what he was wearing.
His thoughts gradually concentrated, and he struggled to sit up with his trembling hands on the ground.
Suddenly a stiff and cold voice came from the ground nearby: "Put down your gun and surrender is your only way out!"
The bandit turned back. The man next to him who was talking to him was also dressed as a commoner. He was still holding a rifle in his hand. Maybe he was injured and couldn't move.
The frightened bandit quickly got up, grabbed his unloaded rifle, and pointed the gun at Geng Ting with a ferocious face. Neither of them said a word.
After a long while, someone came over. The bandit turned around and looked, then ran straight to the east where there were fewer people.
The soldiers cleaning the battlefield nearby ignored the bandit running on the battlefield with a gun. After all, there were many people showing off with guns at this time.
Someone who was cleaning the battlefield looked up at the running one... and asked the soldier next to him with some confusion: "Hey, I think this guy seems too excited? What is he doing in the darkness to the east?"
…
The fire in the direction of Shawo Village had already turned the sky red, and the intensive gunfire and explosions had been ringing for more than ten minutes. The team led by Hu Yi was still rushing on.
Ma Liang kept giving orders to the team: "Speed up!"
Even though the two men took turns riding the bicycle, riding almost continuously for nearly three hours, the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion, who were so exhausted that they were almost exhausted, still gritted their teeth and pedaled the bicycle as hard as they could!
As we got closer to the village to the south, the gunshots suddenly became sparse.
The scouts of a squad north of the bandits kept staring north. They heard Commander Wang saying that there should be reinforcements in Pu County, and finally saw a team with torches. The bandits were overjoyed. The small leader immediately ordered the bandits next to him: " Our reinforcements have arrived, hurry up and send a message to the young commander!"
The bandit soldier agreed, immediately got up from the ground, turned around and ran south.
Seeing the bicycle team getting closer and closer, the two bandits lying not far away from the roadside immediately stood up and greeted: "Hey, why are you here?"
The member of the armed work force who was riding on the bicycle was startled by the sudden appearance of the bandit soldiers on the roadside. He lost his grip on the handlebars and shook twice. The handlebars swung even more violently. The two people on the bicycle screamed strangely. Then he rode directly into the ditch on the side of the road.
The soldiers following behind were also a little confused, and finally stopped slowly. Ma Liang stopped on the side of the road, and asked: "What section are you from, and why are you here?"
"We are the Huang County Security Group, and we are here to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army under the orders of Taijun. You are here now, and you may not even be able to drink the soup!" The bandit leader was stunned.
Huang County Security Group? Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, wasn't that Wang Taigong's group of bandits?
These bandits are now in the north of the village. The gunfire in Shawo Village in the south has become sparse. Li Huanzhang and his injuries are probably already...
Ma Liang sank, and the bandit asked him how he came here, which meant that the bandit was waiting for their person to take the exam!
Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his voice and gave an order to the team behind him: "Kill him, be careful, leave the talking bandit and the guy next to him alive!"
In the light of the torches of the staff nearby, Ma Liang took out a cigarette from his pocket and walked towards the bandit on the roadside: "Want one?"
Several soldiers following Ma Liang immediately stepped forward.
The bandit leader did not doubt that he was there. When he saw someone passing by offering a cigarette under the light of a torch, he stretched out his hand and was ready to take it.
The bandit who was lying on guard next to him also stood up with a gun in hand, pointing the muzzle diagonally at the ground.
Bang bang bang...
A series of shell guns were fired, and except for the little leader and the bandit next to him who was not holding a gun, all the other bandits were shot.
A soldier stepped forward, picked up his rifle and gave the butts to the two bandit leaders who were frightened and were about to pull their guns.
Then, the few soldiers behind immediately put bayonets on their rifles and patched the bayonets on the shot bandits who were twitching in pain on the ground.
Bullets are not blown by strong winds, so you should save money when you need to!
These people are so cruel! The little bandit leader, who understood whether the incoming team was an enemy or not, was filled with regret. Wouldn't it be better to hide on the roadside and watch the fun? You have to come forward!
Their teeth chattered loudly, and the two bandit soldiers fell to their knees and groaned.
"You two... Whoever speaks first will live!" Ma Liang pressed down the machine head of the shell gun in his hand, and said in a cold voice without any emotion: "Tell me, what is the situation in the southern village now?"
Is there a way to survive? The little bandit leader quickly made a grimace: "After dark, Commander Wang set up an ambush in Dahan Village ahead, but these Eighth Route Army ran to Shawo Village. Later, the Commander led his brothers to surround the village, and then followed the Eighth Route Army Without reaching an agreement, the commander ordered an attack..."
The bandit next to him is anxious. Whoever speaks first will live! This matter couldn't wait, and he immediately continued with a trembling voice: "The first time I visited the village, I was beaten back by eight groups from the village. Half an hour ago, Commander Wang personally led a large group of troops to attack from the south. He entered the village more than ten minutes ago. We really don’t know the current situation..."
Ma Liang asked: "How many of you are here?"
"More than four hundred."
"Who are you waiting for here?"
"The commander said that the Pu County Security Group will come to reinforce..."
The two bandits had no idea where these people were coming from, but they shot them as soon as they saw them. They were probably from the Eighth Route Army! The bamboo tube immediately gave an overview of the situation like pouring beans.
Ma Liang thought for a moment: "You all know that we treat prisoners preferentially, now we give you a chance to make a difference!"
"Sir, if you have any orders, just tell me!" The little bandit leader's eyes lit up.
"Take us to the south village immediately!"
"OK, no problem!"
"Haha, you agreed so readily, what is your name and nickname?"
"My name is Huang, and they all call me Weasel..."
Ma Liang signaled to the soldiers who were groping for the corpses of the bandits to escort the two bandits, and he turned around to find Hu Yi.
"Brother, look, should we pretend to be bandits and go reconnaissance first?"
Hu Yi shook his head and asked the bandit leader: "Are you here to bring mortars this time?"
"No, all the shells were fired when they hit Zhaozhuang Village..." the bandit leader replied quickly.
"..."
After asking for some details, Hu Yi stood on the road and listened carefully to the movement in Shawo Village, a mile away to the south, regardless of the sweaty Yi County's body.
There are still occasional explosions of grenades in the village, indicating that there are still people borrowing houses in the village to resist. With Li Huanzhang's ability... he will definitely make arrangements in the village in advance.
There were nearly a hundred wounded soldiers in the team that Li Huanzhang took away. They were also a force that could not be ignored. They could definitely organize a team of nearly 200 people. They were able to defend the village in the dark and had a geographical advantage. The bandits could not capture it so easily. !
Of course, if the Japanese attack, he will judge that Li Huanzhang and the others may be finished now.
Hu Yi was originally a bandit and knew the tactics used by those bandits who were afraid of death to attack the village!
Since Li Huanzhang was able to repel the bandits' attack once, they should have a chance of survival if they fought for the village!
Although not many people came this time, half of them had rifles in their hands. They were definitely deadly weapons for street fighting in the dark. There was no need to worry about the large number of bandits!
As for the mortar grenade, it cannot be used under the current situation, and the machine gun cannot be used for the time being! Instead, they could stay on the outside and wait for the Ninth Battalion to arrive after dawn, and then take pictures of the bandits... and the reinforcements from Pu County's security regiment that the bandit said might arrive just now.
Thinking of this, Hu Yi immediately turned to Ma Liang and ordered: "Now let's abandon the bicycles and pretend to be bandits. We will divide into two groups. You lead the people to fight in from the north of the village, and I will lead the people to take the bandits' retreat from the west of the village!"
Ma Liang hesitated: "But what about identifying friend or foe in the dark?"
