The next day, Zhang Baoshan took his own people to the vicinity of Xiyu Village, and also told Qiu Hengshui to search the Eighth Road, but Zhang Baoshan did not ask to go to the village to check, because he knew that if Qiu Hengshui was the Eighth Road, then it was okay if he went in and couldn't find it, and if he found something, he would never be able to get out of the hundred or ten people. Instead of being so risky, it is better to pretend to trust Xiyu Village and just look nearby.

Zhang Baoshan led people around the front and back of the mountain, and his subordinates were a little impatient, feeling that the chief not only couldn't find the eight roads, but also wasted his body, but Zhang Baoshan knew that he was going to catch something. What he was looking for was naturally the dregs of medicine left by Qiu Hengshui's wounded treatment.

Sure enough, in a place behind the mountain, he found a place where the villagers discarded the garbage, and Zhang Baoshan immediately took his own people and began to pull. Sure enough, on top of a broken bowl, something resembling lime was found, and a layer was glued to the inside surface of the play.

Although Zhang Baoshan said that he didn't worry about the family's business, he had followed his father since he was a child, and he knew a lot of medicinal materials. As soon as he looked at it, he estimated that this was almost the dregs of the Seven Spirits Flower.

So Zhang Baoshan put away the broken bowls, so he called it a day and went back.

returned to Zhang's house, Zhang Baoshan immediately found his brother Zhang Baoxing, came to the study, and handed over the bowl to Zhang Baoxing alone.

Zhang Baoxing was even more familiar with the Seven Spirits Flowers, although he didn't know how to prepare this medicine, but as soon as he looked at the residue stuck to the bowl, he had already thought that it was the Seven Spirits Flowers. Zhang Baoxing didn't care whether he picked it up from the garbage or not, touched it with his fingers, put it on his tongue and tasted it, and sure enough, it was the Seven Spirits Flower.

After Zhang Baoshan learned the result, he was very excited, and Zhang Baoxing immediately told Zhang Baoshan that this matter must be kept secret, otherwise it will lead to death, and let Zhang Baoshan go to the county seat now. Tell Sù Inoue Sawakawa completely.

Zhang Baoshan didn't dare to delay, and immediately drank his men and set off and returned to the county seat. When Inoue learned about this, he was also very surprised. He didn't expect Qin Ruiming to secretly help Balu, he felt that he had a good personal relationship with Qin Ruiming, and with his understanding of Qin Ruiming, he would never will. But Inoue began to wonder again if Qin Ruiming also sold the medicine to Qiu Hengshui. And you don't know it?

If Qin Ruiming didn't know about it, then he sold Qiu Hengshui medicinal materials unintentionally, but Zhang Baoshan also told his brother's judgment to Inoue, that is, when the Eighth Road robbed the medicinal materials, it was obviously a dead hand to Zhang Baoshan, if it was purely for medicinal materials, he would not use such a cost at all.

Inoue suddenly realized, so he immediately reported the information to Ritsuki Daisa.

Suzuki Daisa is an extremely shrewd person, and he knows that if he acts rashly in the middle of the night in the mountains. will inevitably be ambushed, after dawn, he must count the men and horses, take his entire wing out together, and then join Zhang Baoshan's Imperial Association Brigade to attack Xiyu Village.

Suzuki Daisa has been searching for the Eighth Route Army in the nearby mountains, but it is only during the day, he doesn't want to act at night because he is afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and he is not familiar with the mountains, but he will suffer. Moreover, he attacked Xiyu Village by himself. Then Qin Ruiming from Hedong Village would notice it, so he ordered Inoue's side to work together early tomorrow morning and let him arrest Qin Ruiming. And he took the Imperial Association Army to build Xiyu Village together.

Qin Ruiming didn't expect that running a Zhang Baoshan would cause such a catastrophe, but he was not worried about what the Japanese would do to him, because he knew that he would make the Seven Spirit Flowers that the Japanese wanted, and what he was worried about was whether Qiu Hengshui knew the situation. Whether it can be transferred or broken out of the circle.

Qiu Hengshui received a report early in the morning that a large number of devils and puppet troops were assembled at the foot of the mountain and set up a formation, Qiu Hengshui immediately realized that his action of looting medicinal materials had leaked the news. Qiu Hengshui was not in a hurry, but responded calmly, arranged his troops, and excluded a small team of people to let the villagers transfer and hurry into the mountain.

Sure enough, at about ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese sent a puppet army negotiator and shouted under the cottage:

"Is Qiu Hengshui here? The contemptible people are the special mixed forces of the Imperial Allied Army ZP County, and they have come to negotiate with Your Excellency. The Imperial Army has already learned that it was Your Excellency who robbed the medicinal herbs before, and you must have known it as well. The Imperial Army said that you should lay down your weapons, hand over the medicinal herbs, and never fight against the Imperial Army again, and the Imperial Army promised that it would not harm anyone. But if you openly resist the imperial army and refuse to surrender, then the imperial army will attack your mountain village, and when the time comes, you will not be left behind! ”

Qiu Hengshui understood it, he knew that once the Japanese elite came out, they must have known conclusive information, although their subordinates were experienced in a hundred battles, their weapons were inferior, and there was no artillery support, if they really wanted to fight, they would definitely be wiped out. But Qiu Hengshui also understands that the Japanese want to be ruthless in dealing with the Eighth Route Army, this time since they know that they are the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and they also send people to negotiate, they also understand that although the strength of the devil can take down Xiyu Village, but it will also pay huge casualties, since this is the case, Qiu Hengshui replied:

"Dog traitor, go back and tell your master, I am Chinese, in China's own land, do whatever you want, if you are not happy, go back to the East!" You also get out of here, I read that my parents and wife are young in your house, so I won't kill you, if you make a big fuss here again, don't blame me for being merciless, get out of me! ”

That person knew that the Eighth Route Army was not easy to provoke, and he was now surrounded by Xiyu Village on three sides, and if a gun couldn't help but fire, he wouldn't even have a place to hide. So he didn't dare to say more, so he hurried down the mountain to see Suzuki.

When he heard this, he was very angry, but he was also a little jealous. He knew that this time he was going to exterminate the guerrillas, but the terrain of this Xiyu village was too easy to defend and difficult to attack. As I said before, this Xiyu Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and when the remnants of the Yihe Fist arrive here, they dig holes in the mountains and rob them, and the mountain gate is in the innermost part of the entire horseshoe-shaped village. And to enter, you must enter from the place where the slope of the mountain gate is gentle, and the terrain in other places is dangerous, the stone wall is smooth, and there is no grip when you climb up.

But the arrow had to be fired, Suzuki knew that this was a difficult bone to gnaw, but if he came and retreated, then the resistance of the Chinese people in this area would be even more fierce in the future. So Suzuki instructed the artillery to bombard the high ground, and suddenly the artillery fire broke out, and the village of Xiyu exploded everywhere, and the mountains and rocks splashed.

But Qiu Hengshui had already instructed that if the enemy's artillery fire was prepared, he would quickly go into the hole to dodge, and when the enemy really attacked, he would come out to resist again, relying on the favorable terrain to put the enemy close before fighting.

Sure enough, after half an hour of firepower was cleared, the puppet army was in front, the devil was behind, and slowly groped forward to attack, Qiu Hengshui knew that he was already a lone army trapped in the mountain, and the ammunition needed to be used sparingly, so he ordered his subordinates not to waste bullets, and wait for the enemy to get close before fighting.

When the puppet army and devils entered the encirclement of the mountains on three sides of Xiyu Village, there were suddenly gunshots, grenades took off, and the enemies fell one after another. After all, it is a cottage that has been in operation for decades, and this terrain and layout can be worth millions of soldiers.

The first wave of the enemy's offensive was thus repulsed.

In fact, there are more than 100 guerrillas in total, except for the people who volunteered to stay and volunteer for the Eighth Route Army, the rest of the people Qiu Hengshui had already arranged to retreat from the back mountains and enter the deep mountains. At this time, he thought to himself that if he could contain the enemy in this place, then at least he would have to consume them for three days and three nights and a lot of ammunition, and more importantly, at the maximum cost of casualties with the enemy, which was much better than finding an opportunity to fight guerrilla warfare in the deep mountains, and fighting for several years would not necessarily result in this battle. Thinking of this, Qiu Hengshui no longer felt that this was surrounded, but an excellent combat opportunity.

Suzuki Daisa looked at it from a distance with a telescope and sighed, such a fortification, such a terrain, although it is okay to storm it, but it will also lose many elites of the empire. The narrow village road does not allow the entire group of the Western Army to charge, and can only be ground in small groups and small teams, so it is equivalent to filling this hole with the lives of soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

But at this moment, Suzuki had no other way but to send two other squads to attack with all his might, but nearly two hundred people went up, and only twenty or thirty people returned.

Qiu Hengshui also felt that the devil was desperately trying to take Xiyu Village this time, he always ran after the fight, this time it was a frontal defensive battle, if he had enough ammunition and food, even if he had more than 100 people, he could support it for three or four months, but after all, each soldier was injured with more than a dozen bullets, and there were only two grenades, how to deal with the enemy!

Suddenly, Qiu Hengshui had a plan, he could use the strategy of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, which was also what he had recently learned from Qin Ruiming. Qiu Hengshui immediately ordered all the soldiers to divide the more than ten rounds of ammunition in their hands into two parts, one part was used for the early battle, and the latter was used for the decisive battle, and the bullets of the casualties were also taken and distributed.

Qiu Hengshui's plan is that he can't let the devils think that their consensus is good, so they don't dare to attack, but let them feel that their ammunition is insufficient, even if the fortifications are good, they won't be able to support it for long. In this way, you can lure the enemy deeper, so that they can make a bigger bet, and when the time comes, they can catch this perfect fortification and fight with all their might, and fight the devil with all their might. By that time, even if Suzuki had taken Xiyu Village, it would have been nothing more than an empty village, and it would have made him mad looking at the corpses of his own soldiers down the mountain.
