The puppet soldier who was about to stab Wang Xiaogui was unlucky, and a bullet directly penetrated his neck.
Wang Xiaogui was lucky. The bayonet in the puppet soldier's hand changed direction before he died and was stuck in his arm.
He didn't know if anyone behind him saw the bullets whizzing from the lead machine and the corpses of the puppet soldiers being kicked.
The arduous climb into the sorghum field.
Luo Fugui changed the magazine and watched the puppet troops near the highway hide again in the two green gauze tents.
Several puppet troops seemed to be heading south in the trenches in the distance. They immediately shouted: "Correspondent. Grandma's puppet troops are outflanking south and notifying the militiamen to prepare for battle."
The big dog was lying on the side of the road, emptying the last bullet that had just been pressed into the rifle: "Sir Hu, why the hell is this little devil so inexperienced?"
Hu Yi emerged from the sorghum field beside the highway and looked at the highway to the east, which was completely covered by sorghum leaves.
In such a short time, it was impossible for the Japanese car to travel very far, but there was no sound of the engine.
It should be idling or stalling.
In other words, the Japanese baggage train has not gone far.
It is not the character of a Japanese to run away immediately after suffering a loss, even if this group of Japanese is a baggage train.
Hu Yi turned his head and looked at the chaotic scene on the highway.
Under the scorching sun.
Some of the militiamen were happily playing with the rifles surrendered to the puppet soldiers, and some were pulling bullet bags from the puppet soldiers.
There were also some militiamen who were shouting at the peasants and driving the mules and carriages into the sorghum bushes.
Hu Yi thought of a Japanese car pulling an infantry cannon.
The Japanese infantry who previously attacked the Japanese armored vehicles.
The ghost in the cargo compartment never left the car. Obviously, the person behind the car must be an artilleryman!
Artillery never leaves the artillery!
Hu Yi's face suddenly changed: "Correspondent, give the order, give up all weapons and ammunition, and everyone should evacuate from the road within one minute!"
The correspondent immediately shouted on the road between the two green gauze tents: "Evacuate south quickly, quickly, quickly."
The militiamen had never seen such a scene before. It was impossible for the chaotic team to evacuate in a short time.
Boom
There was a muffled sound in the distance to the east.
boom.
A ball of fire suddenly appeared on the road.
As shrapnel and dust flew everywhere, the mules, horses, civilians, and militiamen near the explosion point were directly overturned.
"Run quickly." At this moment, the people who stayed on the road hurriedly evacuated south.
boom.
A platoon leader of the pseudo-second company who was hiding in the green gauze became more energetic: "The Eighth Route Army is gone, let's go and hunt down the drowned dog."
Phew. A piece of shrapnel flew past quickly without recognizing that this was a bastard.
Pull the corners of the pseudo-paizi's mouth directly to the base of the ears
"Fuck, what a big mouth," the puppet soldier next to him sighed.
"I've hidden them all, and we'll go out after the imperial army's bombardment is over."
After a while, the bombardment ended.
The road was filled with smoke.
After waiting for a while, the smoke gradually dissipated.
Most of the hundreds of mules and horses on the road were gone.
Only the empty carts, a few mules and horses flopping on the ground that had been hit by the puppet army's counterattack, and the dozen civilians who were still screaming strangely were left.
Except for the dead bodies, none of the battalion guards and puppet soldiers who were with the civilian husband were seen.
"The Eighth Route Army is responsible for grabbing things and carrying them," a puppet soldier sighed.
"I see at least one battalion from the Eighth Route Army has arrived!" a person muttered in hindsight.
The battalion commander died, and the pseudo-second company commander’s dark face shone brightly: “Why the hell are you standing there in a daze, hurry up and save people!”
The first subordinate followed the suggestion: "Should we inform the first company commander?"
Another platoon leader muttered: "What a fart, if he dies, our boss can become the battalion commander!"
The puppet prisoners had grim faces and carried more than twenty stretchers through the green gauze tent.
The team walked intermittently, watching the eight roadmen in front and behind busy pulling mules and horses.
A prisoner of the puppet army asked the person in front in a low voice: "I said, why don't we run?"
"Run? Where to run?"
"Go back?"
"Is there something wrong with your mind? Now you go back and say that the supplies are lost, and then you are shot by the Japanese?"
"But it's okay to follow the Eighth Route Army."
"This year's harvest will definitely be good, and we won't go hungry if we work on the road."
“I heard the Eighth Route Army eats twice!”
"Didn't we just have two meals before?"
Suddenly a voice came from the front: "Everyone, please stop talking!"
Madman Yang was looking at the footprints on the road and reciting the Three-Character Sutra: "It's the puppet army."
Hu Yi, who was following behind, frowned: "The puppet troops are here, there is a problem."
"I seem to have seen some of the puppet troops we fought on the west run to the south!"
Hu Yi squatted down and looked at the fresh footprints: "Let the militiamen keep an eye on the prisoners and go east to avoid them."
"Hit them?" Madman Yang looked at Hu Yi and his eyes lit up.
I thought to myself, when we were fighting the puppet troops just now, those guys dared to fight back.
You have to beat them until they run away when they see you!
"You have to eat the meat that is delivered to your door." Hu Yi waved his hand to the soldier carrying the bullet box next to him to stop.
There is no time to count the seizures now. There are more than a hundred bags and bags, so there must be some good stuff.
The Japanese convoy was tightly defended and failed to obtain grenade grenades.
Hu Yi always felt that this was not done well.
These puppet soldiers actually dared to run into the Qingsha tent and set up an ambush in front.
Go to the Eighth Route Army, which fights guerrillas all day long, and do whatever you want!
They were worried about getting a lot of ammunition, but they only got more than 30 rifles from the captured puppet troops.
These puppet troops actually delivered the goods to your door, and they were embarrassed not to accept them: "Correspondent! Get in touch with the scattered scouts immediately to find out the movements of the Japanese baggage train and other puppet troops."
…
The sun is very poisonous.
Commander Zhang of the assault regiment rushed to the town with reinforcements, but the Eighth Route Army had already disappeared.
After Captain Zhang and the captain murmured for a while, the team pulled out again.
Arrive at Huilong Town around noon.
Huilong Town has changed.
The Division's Construction Industry Department lined up.
He led the common people to hold small flags and beat gongs and drums to welcome the arrival of the imperial army.
The imperial army and the assault regiment entered the Zhenbei military camp.
More than two hundred autonomous troops from the second battalion of the first regiment were all disarmed and squatted in the scorching sun with their hands tied behind their backs.
The captain has been in the Autonomous Army for nearly a year and spends a lot of time dealing with the commander of the assault regiment.
They often went to the tavern they opened when they were young to drink and meet geisha. They often became brothers-in-law and had a good relationship.
Once entering the military camp.
The captain had a dark face and immediately ordered all the soldiers of his regiment on Tongba Road to be shot.
"Taijun, let them die like this, it is too easy for them!" Commander Zhang of the assault regiment quickly advised.
"Do you want to plead for them?" The captain looked at Captain Zhang, who wanted to save people because of his good relationship with him, and was immediately ready to turn against him.
Captain Zhang remained calm and secretly handed a watch to the captain, and then suggested: "The Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd. has set up several workshops in the concentration camp. Now it is short of manpower. If they are sent to the concentration camp, maybe some value can be created. !”
The captain was stunned for a moment. He relied on his salary. Although he made a lot of money a year, of course the more money he had in his pocket, the better.
After thinking for a while: "What you said seems to make sense. For ten dollars each, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Captain Zhang quickly put himself aside: "Taijun, I can't handle this very well. How about you take them over and say they are the anti-Japanese elements I caught, and you get 90%?"
The captain thought for a while, and the reward for a laborer seemed to be ten yuan, and there were two hundred here.
That's two thousand yuan, 90%. I picked up eighteen hundred yuan for free. This man finally understood and his eyes lit up: "This idea seems to be a good one."
Captain Zhang smiled shyly: "Taijun, can you please arrange for me to leave a battalion of brothers to garrison in Huilong Town? I guarantee that we can at least clear a thousand oceans in a month!"
The captain's eyes widened: "You mean this extremely poor place can make a thousand oceans a month. It's not legal tender."
Captain Zhang winked: "Otherwise, why would everyone want to garrison this place?"
The captain smiled happily: "Zhang Sang, I am determined to be your friend!"
More than 20 of his subordinates were killed and more than 200 workers were captured. At worst, they would be punished one by one when they returned, and they would not be promoted in the future.
His monthly salary is only over 100 yen, but he can make ten times as much money here, so he has to do this.
The Japanese captain followed Shi Jianye, who was busy in the barracks, and gave a direct order: "Since the security in the defense area of the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment has been poor, causing heavy losses to the imperial army, I now order your troops to return to the defense area immediately to rectify the security."
I heard the translator finish the sentence.
Shi Jianye was immediately dumbfounded. Didn't he want to be the brigade commander of his own brigade?
The imperial army did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to give the order to assemble.
Half an hour later, the team was braving the scorching sun and had not even finished lunch.
They were sent away like beggars.
Shi Jianye understood that it was Commander Zhang who was responsible, but he was familiar with the captain, so there was nothing I could do about it.
This is roughly what it means to lose your wife and lose your troops.
The old house was intercepted by the Eighth Route Army.
The big fat piece of meat in Huilong Town was not eaten.
He also gained a reputation for attacking his brother troops.
He led the team away in despair.
My intestines are filled with regret. If I had known better, I would have searched the merchants in Huilong Town first.
Commander Zhang of the Assault Regiment of the Autonomous Army later became famous. The first battalion was a unit directly under the military headquarters Wang Tianxiang, and the strange thing was that the second battalion was a member of Cheng Ximeng.
