Dawn represents the end of a restless night.
The sky in the east brightened, then turned fish belly white.
Luo Fugui sent a communication to report the situation to Hu Yi. The leading scout met the returning correspondent. The team did not continue to the east to join the brigade. Instead, they went directly to a village northwest of Baliying to rest.
No one noticed that about ten miles due south of Luo Fugui, the Japanese convoy was also hiding in a village to rest.
Seven or eight miles due north, more than 20 people from the Taoist sect hanging behind the Eighth Road were hiding in the village, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Eighth Road who was alone. However, the Eighth Road was very vigilant, and Li Xiaolian did not let his men alert the snake.
Except for those who were watching outside, some of them found a place to sleep, and some began to do morning exercises.
If a villager's family dies, they will almost always ask someone from the Taoist sect to perform a ritual ceremony. They are even more happy when the Taoist sect arrives. They even take out the only life-saving food they have and start cooking for the Taoist sect masters.
Speaking of which, these grains were donated to them by the masters of the Taoist sect.
A certain compound.
"...The lancet is specially made for girls. You can't use a gun with your small body!" Li Gang was in a good mood. This girl's understanding is not low, but her basic skills... are really bad. She will have to practice as much as she can in her life. It's natural to be awesome.
However, if you learn to defend yourself with two hands, there will be no problem in dealing with ordinary people.
In Xiao Hongying's hand, her right hand held a two-foot-long lancet, which was flying up and down. When she got to the point of success, there was a clang, and the knife flew away...
The man who was doing morning exercises next to him casually raised his leg and kicked it, and the knife whirled towards Li Gang, who was next to the girl. Li Gang easily stretched out his right hand to catch the knife handle: "Hey, you little girl, you really thought it was so easy to learn the knife. ..I’m telling you, our sword skills are extremely versatile, and although they are not very powerful, they are definitely more than enough for girls to use for self-defense.”
The girl stared with big clear eyes: "No, I want to learn how to kill the enemy with a sword!"
"Hey, if you can make this knife in my hand round, I will teach you." After Li Gang finished speaking, he pushed the big knife in his left hand to the girl.
The girl stretched out her hand to grasp the handle of Xin's thick-backed sword. Li Gang let go of her hand, and the girl's small body was almost knocked down by the heavy knife.
He staggered and stared in embarrassment: "Why... is it so heavy?"
Li Gang once again held the handle of the broadsword and handed over the lancet in his right hand: "Learn the lancet well..."
The girl didn't care, she took the knife and continued.
Li Gang, who was standing next to him, continued to give instructions: "The seniors have summarized the thirteen sword techniques: chopping, chopping, teasing, chopping, picking, intercepting, pushing, stabbing, sliding, stirring, collapsing, point, and pulling... Let's talk about chopping first. The lancet is light, so it has the highest speed, so once it is released, it must be like a wave of willow leaves flying..."
He slashed twice randomly into the air in front, and sweat appeared on the girl's forehead: "Chopping... isn't it just cutting?"
Li Gang ignored the girl's fuss and said: "The so-called splitting means that the body is lifted into the air and the body strength is used to move down from the top... After a wall, the knife will naturally fall to the lower body. At this time... you have to change your moves and use your wrists. Follow the trend and reverse the direction, with the blade pointing upward. The available techniques are picking or stabbing..."
After a few more cuts, the girl asked again: "Can't I use teasing..."
Li Gang nodded and explained: "Telling refers to the sword technique used by the enemy to press Mount Tai against us and raise the sword..."
"Then... pushing means pushing the blade across the enemy?"
"Yes, children can be taught...but what you said is not comprehensive. There are thirty-six variations..."
"Sliding means that the sword and the opponent's weapon come together and then slide along the opposite sword?"
...
Li Gang talked about it all morning, and his mouth was dry. Even until the sun came out, the girl was still asking questions...
"Can you... give my mouth a break?"
"Hey, that's okay, I still have a little question..."
"you say!"
"Even if I can practice the sword skills you mentioned, will I be able to block bullets?"
Li Gang was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Look at my big sword, if it is used vertically and horizontally against the enemy, even if the enemy fires, it can still protect the vitals...
Xiao Hongying looked at the short and narrow lancet in her hand, immediately lost interest, turned around and wanted to leave.
As soon as she took two steps, a thick-backed sword was placed in front of her: "Want to leave? Hey, before you finish practicing the thirteen postures, there is no door..."
How long will it take to practice?
"Senior Sister Xiaolian said, you just need to practice each pose one or two hundred times..."
"It's time to eat..." At the entrance of the courtyard, two senior brothers came in carrying a large bucket of porridge.
The little girl looked at the thickest bowl in front of her, but unfortunately, she couldn't lift her little arms at all.
Li Gang next to him smiled proudly: "Hey, let's see how you can still be sneaky and playful... Don't worry, let Senior Sister Xiaolian rub some medicinal wine on you later, and you can continue tomorrow..."
Can I go to bed after eating?
"No, you can't move your arms..." Li Gang looked at the girl's thin legs with evil intentions: "Can't your calves still run? I'll teach you how to kick later..."
The little girl simply rolled her eyes and fell back.
"Hey, you want to pretend to be dead? There is no way. All our new disciples have to go through this!"
Li Gang next to him put the broken steamed bun into the girl's porridge bowl.
Not being brave enough, Xiao Hongying honestly put her almost unconscious arms on the table, stretched her head to the edge of the bowl... Finally, she almost buried her face in the bowl, drank it all, and stuck out her tongue to lift the bowl. No need to wash it after sweeping it...
Bali camp.
The town is no different from before. There are only a few people on the street, and it seems to be no different from before.
"...Baidaokou Town was attacked by the Eighth Route Army?" Wu Hexiu's face looked a little ugly.
His adjutant analyzed: "In my opinion, those Eighth Route guerrillas are short of guns and ammunition. They probably want to get some guns and ammunition over there, and then come to rob the execution ground today!"
Wu Hexiu breathed heavily from his nose: "That makes sense! It seems that this time the Eighth Route Army is indeed a bastard who has become determined!"
"Hey, the town is all set up. We have gathered more than 300 people. How can those shotguns and swords on Tuba Road be our opponents?"
"How's the damage to the security forces?"
"According to their call this morning, nearly half of our brothers were lost, more than fifty long and short guns, and more than a thousand rounds of bullets..."
"No matter how many guns he has, if he has no bullets, he is still a fire stick! More than a thousand bullets? Guess... he shot them all in one charge..." Wu Hexiu was stunned for a moment: "You mean they called? No one was sent. People?"
"They said they were sent, but we haven't seen it until now. It is estimated that there are eight roads in the north, which means that their road from the north has been blocked by the eight roads!"
"Then what's going on in the south?"
"The brothers in the platoon guarding the reservoir over there were all wiped out by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Have you figured out how many people came from the Eighth Route Army?"
"According to the news reported by our peripheral informants, they should not have more than 400 people coming this time!"
Wu Hexiu nodded: "Four hundred guerrillas dare to make trouble on my territory... Have you found out where they are now?"
"No, the Eighth Route Army is no good. They are very capable of sneaking around. I originally knew where they were staying, but they moved last night. All the informants we planted nearby were wiped out... I guess... they are about to attack. !”
"It can't be so early!" Wu Hexiu shook his head: "You should immediately notify everyone above the platoon level to come over for a meeting!"
"They are all waiting outside..."
"What are you waiting for? Call them in quickly!"
In the courtyard of the town office, people numbering twenty or thirty in various clothes heard the adjutant's greeting and hurried to the meeting room...
The bench and table rattled for a while.
The adjutant on the stage cleared his throat: "Now, I would like to invite the deputy commander to speak!"
The applause below is quite warm...
"The Eighth Route Army likes to use these unflattering methods... but is it effective? Now we are competing to see who has more guns and guns! Hey, I'm afraid they won't dare to come!" Wu Hexiu, who was standing on the stage, looked ferocious: "Now Arrange casualties, guard classes, and arrange for people to keep an eye on the pile of firewood in the courtyard. Doesn’t the Eighth Route Army like to cut telephone wires? This time I will send a beacon message! As soon as the Eighth Route Brigade arrives, if the phone cannot be connected, immediately Light the fire! The leader has arranged people in the west, and they will be in place before dawn..."
Beacon fire message... The adjutant was stunned for a moment: So advanced!
"The first company is responsible for the north gate, the second company is responsible for the east gate, the third company is responsible for the south gate, the fourth company is responsible for the west gate, and the fifth company is responsible for the defense of the town..."
There are more than 300 puppet troops in total...how can they have such a large establishment?
Wu Hexiu, a traitor from the Eighth Route Army... His team is not fully staffed at all...
However, everyone present knew very well that the security forces had just carried out a raid a few days ago, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army had already fled eastward. As long as they were not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, those guerrillas did not have much fighting power!
These guerrillas also want to capture the county town like they did last year, and they also successfully ambush the First Security Army. It will never happen again!
If they dare to come, they will simply die...
The bad thing is that the Japanese did not report the details of the battle to the security forces everywhere... They were attacked by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses...
Because, if you do that, it will completely affect the morale of all the soldiers you have collected!
This chapter is over, Brother Hanjiang Chuxue: More updates are coming...Thank you to uncle 7775 for the reward, thank you to the brothers who have always voted for recommendations, and thank you to the brothers whose names are all a string of numbers and are unwilling to give themselves a name. ..
