West of the village.
Hearing gunfire everywhere in and outside the village, the bandits finally understood that even though the southern team had entered the village, the situation in front of them was still not good.
In the darkness, Wang Sanzhu looked at the fourth master who had come back and was furious: "Uncle Fourth, our team has occupied half of the village, but almost no shot has been fired in the north where you are responsible. Tell me why you ran away from the battle..."
The Fourth Master was not very interested in Commander Wang, but he was a little worried about the old bandit Qi next to him. Fortunately, the old bandit Qi was still picking up the remnants of the soldiers who had returned from the south, and he might come back at any time.
The Fourth Master quickly explained in an urgent tone: "...Young Commander, the team coming from the north said they were members of the Pu County Security Group. I'm afraid they are deceiving."
"What did you say? The Pu County security team is here! They are the reinforcements I requested from the imperial army..." Wang Sanzhu was overjoyed, but also a little confused: "You just said they were cheating? What do you mean?"
The fourth leader said with a dark face: "I think... they don't seem to have good intentions!"
Wang Sanzhu was stunned for a moment: "Speak clearly!"
"Young Commander, you were just attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and they appeared right after you. Then the Seventh Man from the East was taken over by the Eighth Route Army..."
Wang Sanzhu looked like he had been drenched from head to toe by a basin of cold water in the middle of winter. He hurriedly interrupted the Fourth Master: "What did you say? Something happened to Lao Qi?"
"You don't know yet?" The fourth master was stunned for a moment.
During the hurried conversation between the two, the two panting bandits ran over and shouted: "Young Commander... Young Commander... It's not good... We were pretending to attack the Eighth Route in the east of the village. We were attacked by the Pu County Security Group just now, and the seventh leader was killed on the spot. Got it!"
"How do you know it was the Pu County security team that attacked Lao Qi?"
"When they came from the north, I was lying on the south side on guard. I heard what they said!" When the battle started, the bandit was sleeping in and escaped. Of course, there was no need to tell the truth at this time. .
The fourth master next to him was just guessing at first. When he got the exact news, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, he admired his decision to retreat immediately and immediately felt proud: "Look, even a pig can understand it now. The Eighth Route Army and the Pu County Security Group Collusion!”
The facts were in front of him. What Wang Sanzhu didn't expect was that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops would appear in the place where the imperial army had just raided. This could only mean that the Eighth Route Army had secretly been connected with the security army!
As of now, no one knows whether there are Eighth Route Army or security forces hiding in those dark nights on the western periphery!
He began to feel unsure, even a little panicked. Those Tuba Road mud-legged men first sent people to attack the rear of the team from the south, and then the Pu County security army launched a surprise attack on Lao Qi's men in the east of the village. Then they definitely had a backup plan!
Seeing that he could not gain any advantage and could be attacked at any time, he quickly ordered the fourth master: "Arrange defenses immediately, first to prevent sneak attacks from eight groups on the periphery, and then to defend against counterattacks from eight groups in the village!"
So, four Czech-style light machine guns were lined up in a row and pointed in the direction of the village.
More than a hundred rifles were scattered, half pointed in the direction of the village, and the rest pointed directly into the darkness outside the village.
For a long time, except for the sound of gunshots, no one saw the Eighth Route Army rushing out of the village. Instead, the old bandit Qi ran back with a group of people dejected.
Wang Sanzhu looked at the old bandit Qi who had rushed back in disgrace, and took two steps forward: "Uncle Qi... the situation here is not quite right now... you see... how about... we should withdraw the brothers from the village first Make any further plans?"
"It's strange, there are only a few hundred of them in total, why would he dare to attack us?" Qi Laobang listened carefully to Wang Sanzhu's words with a dark face.
Listening to the silence of gunshots coming from all over the village, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
There weren't many soldiers who attacked their reserves, and most of them didn't even have guns. However, these heroes who he personally led and boasted about how heroic they were all day were completely defeated!
It's not that I haven't dealt with the Eighth Route Army before, and the three axes of the Eighth Route Army are already clear to me. It's just that the Eighth Route Army I've encountered in the past few days is completely different from the ones I've seen before!
It was as if he had been reborn, and his fighting spirit was even more arrogant than those Japanese soldiers.
It's a pity that at the beginning, because of the fear of casualties, we were unable to take over this poor village in one go. This gave the villagers a chance to breathe.
The current situation is serious and the fighter opportunity has been lost!
If we continue to fight against the Eighth Route Army, we will only increase casualties. Seeing that the situation is not good, we should run away. We dare not forget the instructions of our ancestors.
As for giving the order to retreat? You ask me what the fuck I am? Old Bandit Qi turned his head and looked a little sad: "You make up your mind!"
Not long after, the bandits outside the village beat the gong and kept shouting: "The young commander has given an order. Let's open up a way out today. All brothers must retreat immediately!"
Hearing the order from the bandit messenger, the bandit soldiers who had captured half of the village in the south were confused. The man surnamed Wang said not to fight means that he didn't have to fight anymore... Then the reward should not be less, right?
How could the bandit soldiers, who had suffered heavy casualties despite being in vain, still have the energy to fight! He turned around, climbed over the wall, and started running out of the village.
The villagers did not have the guts to chase the bandits in the dark.
The bandit soldiers gathered in the west of the village began to mess around and look at the feng shui, and finally decided to dig a hole and bury the body on the spot.
With their heads bowed and bewildered, they supported the wounded soldiers, carried the seriously wounded soldiers, held torches, and retreated all the way towards Huang County where they were heading north.
There were more than 400 people on the way here, and less than 300 on the way back...
...
Captain Jia led the security team Feng Puchenchen all the way south, but was still thrown out of sight by the bicycle team in front.
Hearing that the gunfire from the Shawo Village in the south gradually became sparse, and the team had already slowed down, he stood on the roadside and looked at the red sky in the south and began to hesitate.
The pseudo company commander under his command came over and asked cautiously: "Brother, could it be that the man named Wang has captured those Eighth Route Army?"
Captain Jia was a little helpless: "There is a possibility. Send someone over now to ask."
"Yes!" the leader of the puppet army agreed, and quickly gave his explanation to his two capable men. The two puppet soldiers immediately trotted southward.
The two messengers spread their legs and trotted all the way to Shawo Village in the south.
After walking a few miles, we immediately spotted a team heading north with torches.
The two messengers stopped quickly, and one of them was a little puzzled: "Brother, why are they coming here?"
"Ask me... If I know, can't I just go and ask?"
"That's right! Then let's go and ask?" From the perspective of the two puppet troops, the captain said that the Huang County security group in the south was encircling the Eighth Route Army. If you go north at this time, it must be friendly forces!
The bandit spies were in front, and the fourth bandit leader following closely behind was humming a tune, feeling a little angry. It was really unlucky these days!
They had been beaten to a pulp by those mud-legged Tuba Road soldiers. This time they launched a large-scale attack, and even the wounded soldiers and baggage trains of the Eighth Route Army could not be eaten. After losing their troops, they had to retreat. There was nowhere to vent their raging anger.
Not long after, the two cowardly messengers of the puppet army jumped out of the darkness without any temptation at all. They faced the two bandit spies at the front with their guns in hand and asked: "Hey! Are you... Huang?" From the county security corps?”
"Who is your mother?" The two bandits and spies were startled by the two puppet soldiers who suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the bolts of their guns rattled.
The puppet soldier quickly revealed his identity: "Hey, hey, don't fucking shoot me, I'm one of my own, I'm from the Pu County Security Group!"
"Pu County Security Group? Hehe, don't say you are the reinforcements invited by Commander Wang, right?" This bandit soldier was the one who had seen the weasel alive and returned to report the news, and he immediately became vigilant.
"Hey...how did you know?" Seeing that the other party knew where he was coming from, the puppet soldier still asked.
"Hey, how many people have you come this time?" The two bandit spies began to slowly raise their guns.
