A lot indeed.

Through the binoculars, Lehi found at least one squadron of devils and more than five hundred puppet soldiers, and of course there could be more.

If there weren't so many teachers and students who needed to be escorted, he might still be provocative, anyway, if he couldn't beat him, he could run into the mountains, and the devil was not familiar with the road, and he didn't dare to chase after him.

But not now, he still has hundreds of teachers and students to escort, and if he fights with the gang in front of him at this time, he won't be able to run away at all, and it will put these teachers and students in danger.

Li Hai handed the telescope to Zhang Cheng and looked at it, and then said to the convenience with a solemn face, "Platoon commander, what should I do now?" There are a lot of devils and puppet soldiers! ”

Lehi took the binoculars and looked at them again, and muttered, "Before the devil finds out, enter the mountain immediately." Then send someone to Lingqiu to inform the guerrillas there, telling them to be careful of this Japanese puppet army, they are likely to go to Lingqiu. ”

"Yes! Fall back! ”

Firmly believing in the power of the sixteen-character guerrilla policy, he did not come nonsense, and when he returned to the resting place, he ordered the team to move forward quickly, as long as they entered the mountain, they would be safe.

Seeing that there was still some way to go on the mountain, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and Lehi, who heard this voice, his face changed instantly.

"Oh no, it's a devil's plane!"

Looking up and seeing the oncoming devil plane in the sky, Li Hai couldn't help but curse in his heart, this is really 'people are unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water'.

Their team is too big, and the devil pilots on the plane must be able to see it.

As Lehi had guessed, the Japanese pilots in the sky did see a contingent on the ground that was not an Imperial army.

Since there was no radio on the plane, even if there was an Imperial army nearby, the pilot would not be able to transmit a message to that Imperial army.

The pilot then opened fire on the enemy army on the ground with his on-board machine gun, so that the Imperial army could be alerted.

"Get down!"

Seeing the Japanese plane swooping down, Li Hai hurriedly threw down Zhao Yaqian, who was standing stupidly next to him, and only then did he stand up after the plane.

"Platoon commander."

Mao Hong ran over with a solemn expression.

"Lao Mao, you take the third shift to escort them into the mountain, and I take the first and second shifts to cover after the break. The Japanese puppet army must have heard the movement here, and must enter the mountain as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble. Lehi commanded.

"Okay, be careful yourself." Mao Hong nodded decisively.

"Class 1, Class 2, follow me! The second squad set up a blocking position on this hillside, and the first squad was opposite me, holding out for an hour and then retreating in an orderly manner. ”

Lehi did not hesitate and gave orders directly to the leaders of the two squads.

"Xiaoqian, what are you doing? Let's go, don't affect them! ”

Seeing Zhao Yaqian looking at the departing Li Hai with a worried expression, Li Menglan immediately persuaded.

"Xiaoqian, let's go, they're fighting, let's withdraw first, don't hold back." Jiang Xuan also persuaded.

Zhao Yaqian nodded, but before leaving, she still glanced back at Li Hai who was far away, and then quickly ran towards the mountain with the large army.

On Lehi's side, several light machine guns fired into the sky, not to shoot down the devil plane, but to attract and contain the devil plane, so that it could not threaten the retreating large army.

。。。。。。

"Your Excellency, Captain, it's an Imperial fighter."

In an unknown village, the roar in the sky attracted the attention of this Japanese puppet army, and in addition to the roar, there were also gunshots.

"Nani? Ordered troops to assemble. Seeing the situation in the distance, Kono Shaosa stood up and picked up the binoculars to look at it, and then commanded.

"Taijun! Taijun! What's wrong? ”

Hearing the order to assemble, an officer wearing the uniform of the Jin Sui Army ran over in a panic, and when he arrived in front of Captain Kono, he nodded and bowed, with a servile face.

If it weren't for the insignia of the Japanese army on his uniform, those who didn't know would have thought it was really the Jin Sui Army. In fact, this was a puppet army of the Jin Sui Army that defected to the Japanese army, and then brought in some other security regiments or something.

"Wang Sang, order your troops to assemble immediately, there should be the Eighth Route Army in front, and the Imperial fighters have already discovered the traces of the Eighth Route Army." Kono Shaosa commanded.

"Okay Taijun, good Taijun." After saying this, the officer ran to the front of the team and shouted, "All of them have gathered together." There is the Eighth Route Army in front, and our task is to follow the Imperial Army to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, and when the time comes, we will reward or something, and how much we want. ”

"Even if there is a reward, he swallows it, how can we have it." A puppet soldier muttered.

"Okay, don't talk about it, if you hear it, it's going to be trouble."

"What are you afraid of, he dares to do it, and he won't let us say it?"

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

After the Japanese puppet army inside and outside the village was assembled, the puppet army was in the front and rear, and the Japanese army was in the middle.

If Li Hai and the others were here at this time, they would definitely find that their previous guesses were still a little inaccurate.

The puppet army is not much different, only about 600 people, but the Japanese army obviously has not one squadron, but two and a half squadrons, adding up to more than 500 people.

If it was only these 600 puppet troops, Lehi's second platoon would still be able to fight, but these more than 500 devils were not something that Lehi's second platoon, the 100 people, could deal with.

Just when Lehi hastily built a simple blocking position with the first and second squads, the Japanese puppet army rushed over, and the Japanese planes had already returned because they had completed their mission.

Although the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army failed to shoot down this plane, some bullets hit the wings, and it must have to fly back quickly.

"Platoon commander, this is not right, there are a lot of Japanese puppet soldiers in this group! Do they want to go to Lingqiu, or Fuping? ”

"It shouldn't be to Fuping, the purpose of the Japanese army is obvious, it should be to attack Lingqiu, and then open up this line of communication.

Tell the comrades, stand alone, don't use the machine guns and unconscionable guns for now, find good cover, and withdraw if they don't work. ”

"The devil is coming!"

"Call me!"

Seeing the devil bending down to attack, Lehi directly ordered to open fire, and then shot and killed a puppet army who had no sense of fighting at all.

Standing so high, who do you hit if you don't hit?

。。。。。。

"Bang!"

"Get down, there's eight roads ahead!" Seeing that one of his subordinates in front of him was killed, the puppet legion leader was so frightened that he immediately lay on the ground.

This gunfire became the fuse, and for a time there was a lot of gunfire in the mountains and forests ahead.

"Taijun, Taijun, this Eighth Route Army is a bit much, did you encounter the main force?" Hearing the gunshot, the puppet legion commander was so frightened that he ran directly to Kono Shaoza's side to hide.

"Baga, get back in command for me." Seeing this gutless pseudo-army commander, Kono Shaozo couldn't help but scold.

However, unlike the puppet army commander who was a little worried, Kono Shaozo was excited, there were at least hundreds of people in the Eighth Route Army in front of him, although it was not the main force, but this gunfire could also prove that this army was not an ordinary Eighth Route Army.

Thinking of this, Kono Shaoza pulled out his command knife and ordered loudly.

"Kill, give!"
