North of Huilong Town.
From the Second Battalion Military Camp.
Fires were blazing all around the playground.
In the middle squatted a large group of bandits-turned-pseudo-autonomous troops.
Long Fanzhang, commander of the Rangers, stood in the darkness.
Looking at these ragtag autonomous army, I couldn't help but frown.
Two figures hurriedly ran into the military camp: "Captain Long, something happened with the regimental commander. The vanguard squad was attacked and all were killed."
Long Fanzhang nodded: "I understand."
"The leader means, please go over and help me."
"Didn't you see that we are busy?" Long Huanzhang was displeased, with a sarcastic tone in his voice: "You two battalions still can't capture Cheng Haibo?"
"Well, that's a really solid idea. Captain Long, please help me."
"If you don't succeed enough, if you fail, wait for me to arrange it." Long Huanzhang didn't look good.
The two people who came did not leave. It seemed that Long Huanzhang was not moving and they would wait forever.
Long Fanzhang ignored these two men and turned towards the entrance of the military camp.
A figure slipped out of the darkness quietly and lowered his voice: "Captain, the black shopkeeper is in the south of the town."
"Go and have a look."
Under the moonlight.
Deji grain number Huilong semicolon.
Long Fanzhang ducked into the grain house and followed a man in black into the backyard.
He lifted the curtain, looked at the woman sitting under the oil lamp across the table, and asked cautiously: "Shopkeeper Hei?"
Su Qing looked at the tall soldier who came in, and stood up directly with joy in his voice: "Hello, is this Captain Long?"
After a brief handshake, Long Fanzhang's tone showed great enthusiasm: "I say hello to you on behalf of 'Xianghuo'!"
"Comrade Xianghuo sent you here. How many people came?"
"Xianghuo knows that you failed to complete the task of reorganizing the Second Battalion on time and asked us to come over to support you. Now the Second Battalion has been disarmed by our troops."
Su Qing was stunned: "Why didn't I receive the news?"
"The HD rescue plan failed, and I just received the news from my superiors." After Long Fanzhang said this, he took out a stack of documents from his pocket, pulled out one from the middle and handed it to Su Qing: "This is the latest order conveyed by the superiors! "
Su Qing took it, looked at a few inconspicuous symbols on the corner, checked it was correct, raised his head with a surprised look on his face: "The superior asked the group to withdraw from Huilong Town?"
Long Fanzhang weighed in his mind that if he did not tell the other party his true identity, it would probably cause misunderstanding: "The people I brought are from the special operations team, lurking in the Division Construction Industry Regiment under the orders of Chongqing. We don't have many comrades in the special operations team. Therefore, I will have the opportunity to inform you after I capture the second battalion."
Su Qing nodded: "I understand."
Long Fanzhang sorted out his thoughts: "Before dark, the intelligence team of the Rangers came and asked Division Jianye to reorganize a regiment and drive the Eighth Route Army out of the Autonomous Army's defense area. Division Jianye took over the defense and returned to Longzhen."
When he heard that Shi Jianye would control Huilong Town in the future, Su Qing's face immediately turned ugly, because this person had always had a good relationship with the First Division, but unexpectedly he voted for Chongqing.
You must obey orders from superiors. Su Qing reminded: "You have to find a way. Huilong Town must not completely fall into the hands of the enemy. Half of the supplies entering the mountain come from here."
"You don't have to worry about this. The superior has arranged for Comrade 'Xianghuo' to be responsible. You can contact him in the future."
Su Qing tried to suggest: "Do you think this arrangement works? The second battalion is just a bandit. It doesn't matter whether it can be reorganized. Is there any way to keep the reorganized part of Commander Cheng's first battalion in Huilong Town?"
Long Fanzhang shook his head: "The risk is too high. The most important thing is that there are spy spies among the people under Commander Cheng. Once the news gets out, the implications will be too high."
"Oh well!"
Long Fanzhang added: "Also, the anti-college students who were sent to the Second Regiment were detained by Shi Jianye and may be sent to the Japanese concentration camp. We can't make a move now. Comrade Xianghuo went to Cheng Daohe again. Please think about it. How can we send a small force to rescue?"
Su Qing thought for a while: "How many troops are left in the Che Xiangzhen Regiment?"
"There is less than a company in the town, and the autonomous army in the outer gun towers is close to a battalion!"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."
"Time is very tight now. In ten minutes, I will lead the Rangers to attack the First Battalion directly from the town. Let me remind you that the Rangers are very powerful. You must move quickly. Don't worry about the belongings in the military camp. When we arrive, When the time comes, I will find a way to send it back to the divisional base area." Hearing gunfire from the south, Long Fanzhang began to look anxious: "Take care."
Su Qing stood up immediately: "Okay!"
The towns in the Autonomous Army Defense Area appear to be heavily defended.
In fact, the interior is already riddled with holes.
Two guerrillas sent Dirty Face to hide in a nearby village.
Shopkeeper Cheng Er and his team of six were in front, and Pei Xianglan and eight guerrillas were behind.
Bend over the ditch in the ground and quickly approach the car heading towards the town.
About three hundred meters away from the outer wall of the town, the team began to crawl on the ground.
With the support from the inside line on duty, the team quietly entered the town.
The dim moonlight at midnight released dim light, which fell into the dilapidated town that had suffered countless wars and chaos, and was immediately divided into pieces by the buildings.
Frogs croak outside the town and insects chirp inside the town, but it is full of life.
Otherwise, the town was dead silent.
It looked so strange that it made one's heart palpitate.
There were only dogs in the military camp in the town, and they seemed to hear some noise.
Started screaming violently.
Echoing the old saying that a dog barks deeper into the night.
It didn't attract the attention of people who came to the town.
Because the roar of a car engine happened to be heard on the Zhenbei Highway.
Two cars followed.
The pseudo-autonomous troops recruited from the gun towers by the Japanese carried the corpse of the Japanese and walked forward.
A team of more than ten people who slipped into the town from the south of the town quickly approached the military camp in the north of the town like mice, slithering along the walls.
soon.
The team met up with Liu Yuanqing who was hiding in the darkness.
After a brief discussion, the team immediately dispersed.
The team began to go up the roof and into the alley.
On the outskirts of the dilapidated compound, the puppet troops guarding the Eighth Route Army mainly prevent the Eighth Route Army from escaping.
A machine gun squad was deployed on the roof to the south with a wide view. They stared at it for half the night. The observation post rubbed his eyes and forced himself not to doze off.
A dark figure came from the north, hurriedly entered a courtyard, and whispered: "Platoon Leader Li"
A yawning voice came from the room: "What's going on?"
"The company commander asked you to take all the people in the yard to Beiying."
After a while, a figure walked out of the room: "Didn't I say that I would send him to the county town tomorrow?"
The shadow who came to report hesitated for a moment: "The little Japs were ambushed in the north of the town. I guess it's probably because they want to vent their anger on them."
"What little devil do you want to call Taijun?" Platoon Leader Li warned and then asked: "How many Taijuns are dead?"
"According to the brothers who carried the bodies, twelve people were killed and seven or eight others injured. A motorcycle and a car were also blown up."
"There are more dead than injured? Are you saying the opposite?" Under normal circumstances, in a battle, there are more injured than dead.
"I heard from the translator accompanying the team that Little Ghost Taijun said that there was a sharpshooter in the team that attacked Taijun."
"Hey, good fight, do you know who did it?"
"It was probably the Lunan guerrillas who did it." The shadow said excitedly: "I heard from the translator that Wang Qinglin, the captain of a regiment of pistols, surrendered to Cheng Ximeng and ran to the city. This evening, he was shot three times and was beaten to death at the door of the hut."
"This kind of person who betrays the brigade commander and shows no loyalty should die." This is what the pseudo-platoon leader said, not only without any indignation, but even with a bit of joy.
"Stop talking about this, hurry up and send the Eighth Route Army over from the yard."
The pseudo platoon leader immediately ordered the men next to him: "Ask the brothers on the roof to come down and prepare to take these Eighth Route Army to Beiying."
The internal and external relations of the Autonomous Army are extremely complex.
It needs to be simplified. It should be written with a big head.
