Ninety miles south of Huaxian County.
Changyuan County.
North Gate.
The mules neigh and the horses bray.
In the wilderness, a figure was riding on the branch of a jujube tree, looking through the branches and leaves at the troops carrying guns and torches leaving the city in an endless stream.
The puppet soldiers at the forefront carried red flags with blue sky and white sun on the ground.
The black shadow hiding in the tree suddenly held its breath, not even daring to breathe out.
A group of puppet army flank guard sentries walked into the jujube forest.
He stopped not far from the black shadow's hiding place and sat down to rest under the jujube tree.
In the middle of summer, this group of puppet soldiers actually lit a fire.
Under the light of the fire, the puppet troops were all dressed as national army soldiers, wearing five-color puppet army hats on their heads, muttering in the woods.
".We will march thirty miles tonight, and we will probably have to wait till dawn."
"What does it matter? At least we don't have to worry about our lives this time."
"Who do our loyal and brave national salvation troops fear?"
"Don't talk nonsense, we are now called the Peaceful National Salvation Army."
Another voice sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about? They are obviously puppet soldiers and traitors."
"You know nothing. If Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong voted for the Manchus back then, we can still fight against Japan and restore the people in the future."
"You're a damn traitor, you can still say such things."
"You've become a traitor, and you're still worried that you won't be able to say anything?"
"Shut up, everyone, and stay hidden," a voice scolded.
"Hidden you bitch, we are pushing thousands of people to the north, lighting such a big fire, you tell me to hide?"
"Keep your mouth clean, believe me or not"
"If your mouth is clean, how can you call it a traitor? In order to survive, we have to be this bullshit peace and national salvation army. We have to ruin our reputation as a traitor."
"Well, your idea is interesting."
"Hey, brother, what are we doing here this time?"
"What else can we do? Follow Boss Du and cooperate with the New Fifth Army to clean up the imperial army."
"I heard that this time the main purpose is to eliminate the Eighth Route guerrillas in the plain areas."
"Fuck, isn't this no different from what we did before?"
"Why is there no difference? In the past, we used to fight to create friction, but now."
"What's going on now? Tell me quickly."
"Hey, it's called bandit suppression now."
"No, aren't we just bandits?"
"What we are doing now is called being recruited. Do you understand that being recruited is the same as Song Jiang being recruited on Liangshan Mountain."
Someone on the road in the distance made a circle with a torch to signal.
The puppet soldier responsible for the observation immediately shouted: "Hey, let's go."
The puppet soldiers in the jujube forest got up from the ground and began to urinate to put out the fire.
Then, the sound gradually faded away.
The dark shadow on the jujube tree waited for a while, and then slipped down after seeing no movement.
Jogging north in the jujube forest full of ravines, he quickly passed the puppet army security squad.
"Report, urgent call from division headquarters to headquarters"
Officer Lin received the message, and the soldier next to him immediately turned on his flashlight.
The content of the message is not much: Under the surveillance of the Japanese, the Puppet 24th Army and the Puppet New Fifth Army started from Xinxiang on the Pinghan Railway at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains in the west to Changyuan County on the Yellow River in the east. They conducted a blanket search and swept northward. The puppet troops took the lead. Du Shu's army has more than 10,000 troops and has passed Changyuan.
He handed the message to the head of the first division next to him: "It is completely consistent with the situation deduced by the superiors!"
The division chief looked at the message under the light of the flashlight: "We have been prepared for a long time, but we are afraid that he will not come."
Officer Lin looked at Neihuang County: "The progress of the battle is a bit slow."
"If you hadn't insisted on letting the students take the lead and our newly formed Fourth Route Army attack directly, the county seat would already be in our hands."
"Maybe you are really good at blowing, and the scars have healed and you have forgotten the pain! When you attacked Qi County last year, most of the casualties of the most capable special agent group failed to capture the county seat."
The division chief was a little embarrassed: "At that time, all the people in the city were Japs. Can these bandits compare with the Japs?"
"The chief asked you to study hard and not risk the lives of our soldiers. You have to use your brains in fighting."
"You kid actually taught me a lesson?"
"Don't be unconvinced, these are the chief's exact words."
The heavy machine gun positions of the bandits outside the county government office.
The tanks on the street were getting closer and closer with gunpowder smoke, and the light machine gun bullets made a crackling sound as they hit the sandbags.
The Eighth Route Army did not charge as usual.
The fake battalion commander who was lying on the roof of the county government office couldn't bear it anymore and directly ordered: "Heavy machine gun, shoot."
The ammunition hand quickly moved to the heavy machine gun and prepared the canvas ammunition belt.
The machine gunner dropped his cigarette butt, got up, got behind the heavy machine gun, and immediately pressed the trigger with his thumb.
Boom boom…
The distinctive sound of heavy machine guns suddenly sounded on the street
The canvas belt shuddered in the hand of the ammunition hand and was rolled into the gun.
The machine gun rack was beating and dust was rising, and no one noticed that the muzzle of a black shell gun on the gatehouse was pointed at the heavy machine gunner.
boom.
From a distance of more than ten meters, barge bullets penetrated the machine gunner's back.
The machine gunner followed and fell forward.
Crazy heavy machine gun fire stopped immediately.
The ammunition hand next to him didn't pay attention to the direction of the bullet, thinking that the machine gunner had been hit by a stray bullet.
Quickly pull the machine gunner away and jump behind the heavy machine gun.
Before he could press the trigger, a mortar shell accurately hit the machine gun emplacement with a scream.
boom.
The few bandit soldiers who stayed behind the sandbags were lifted nearly meters high by the shock wave.
Shrapnel mercilessly penetrated their bodies
The sudden smoke rising up frightened the bandit leader on the gate at the back.
A voice screamed from the second floor of the gatehouse: "There are artillery on Route 8, retreat quickly."
The bandit soldiers hiding near the county government office were dumbfounded. They originally thought that with heavy machine guns, they would have no problem guarding this half of the street.
Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was so prepared. Finally, the order to retreat was heard from the direction of the gate tower.
The bandit soldiers no longer had the mood to continue resisting.
Jump out from each courtyard and run westward.
Hearing someone pretending to pass the order, the pseudo-regiment leader who was also on the second floor was stunned for a moment and immediately figured out that there was an Eighth Route agent sneaking into the second floor!
Now the team is in chaos, and it is impossible to maintain the formation.
Is this the legendary defeat?
Before that, the good spy must be found first, and he gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates: "Find the spy who just screamed and kill him!"
After giving the order, he ran downstairs.
After hearing the order from the regiment leader, the bandit soldiers quickly ran to the location where they were shouting just now, trying to find the spy.
Bang bang bang.
Li Huanzhang, holding two guns, leaned against the door and shot at the bandit soldiers who rushed over.
There is no way to dodge bullets at close range.
The bandits who rushed out quickly returned to the house.
Liang Sansi on the gate was stunned. The person he was looking for was definitely Ba Zan.
I was stunned for a moment and immediately jumped down from the second floor window. No matter how high the country was, I had to jump down even if it was a cliff.
It's important to save your life!
With good luck, his body fell on a bandit soldier who had just come down from the second floor. Regardless of the pain in his back, he got up from the ground and ran to the backyard of the county government office.
I had heard from other bandit soldiers earlier that a door had been opened on the wall west of the county government office!
After firing out thirty rounds of bullets from the two shell-removing guns, Li Huanzhang did not dare to stay any longer and jumped out from the second-floor window of the gatehouse.
boom.
A plume of gunpowder smoke billowed out of the second-floor window.
The bandits were not stupid and threw grenades directly into the room next to them.
Da Gou and Crazy Yang are hiding in the moat outside the west gate. So far, not a single shot has been fired.
"The bandit soldiers are so damn stupid. They don't understand anything about surrounding three towers."
Madman Yang looked at the darkness outside the city gate and said in a somewhat unbearable voice: "It's too cruel."
Next to him, Liu Yuanqing's voice was filled with excitement: "These bandits have done all kinds of evil. They have been suppressing them for more than ten years and they still deserve to die."
