Twenty minutes later, the battle was nearing its end.

More than half of Huang Ergou's security team surrendered, and all the rest were annihilated.

The puppet army of that half battalion still had some combat effectiveness, but in the absence of command, even half of the strength could not be brought into play, and more than 100 people were annihilated except for a dozen who surrendered in time.

While cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Dayong ordered people to search the barracks.

More than a dozen soldiers immediately stepped forward to enter the barracks to search, but were stopped by Zhou He, who rushed over.

Zhao Dayong looked at Zhou He suspiciously and asked:

"What's wrong? What if there's someone hiding in there? ”

Zhou He frowned and said:

"I'm just worried that there are people hiding inside and won't let them search for them, think about it, if someone really hides inside, can our people go in without casualties?"

Zhao Dayong reacted at this time and asked casually:

"So what do you say?"

The corners of Zhou He's mouth hooked up a weird smile:

"Let people be on guard first, and then burn it!"

Zhao Dayong grinned:

"Hold the grass, what the hell are you smiling too much like our battalion commander!"

Zhou He didn't expect Zhao Dayong's brain circuit to be so different from that of a normal person, so he glared at him with squinted eyes and didn't speak.

Huang Ergou, who was hiding in the corner of one of the barracks, waited for a while and didn't hear anyone come in, and was about to go to the window to take a look, but he was choked by the smoke floating in from the window, and he covered his mouth and coughed vigorously.

Finally catching a breath, Huang Ergou immediately threw himself by the window and looked out.

I saw that a row of black hole muzzles had been set up more than ten meters away from the barracks, and some people ran to the barracks with Chai He in their arms.

The fire in the next few barracks has reached the roof, and it looks like it is about to burn down the company camp.

Huang Ergou scolded in a low voice and clenched the two grenades in his hand.

His plan to pull a few people on their backs was in vain, and now he can only throw the grenade; It is best to throw it into the pile of people so that you can pull a few people to bury him.

Huang Ergou turned around and put the suitcase containing the ocean and gold bars on the ground, gritted his teeth and pulled off the pull tab of a grenade.

But as soon as he stood up and wanted to throw the smoking grenade at the crowd more than ten meters away, his body was violently hit by a force, and then he heard a crisp gunshot.

Huang Ergou's consciousness quickly dissipated, and the smoking grenade in his hand immediately came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two explosions in quick succession, shrapnel scattered in all directions.

Unfortunately, most of the shrednel was blocked by the wall, and only a few flew out of the window, but flew straight into the air, without hurting a single person.

The power of the wooden-handled grenades was limited, and the explosion of two grenades did not blow down the barracks at all, at most it shook down a pile of wall dust.

However, the rapidly spreading fire quickly burned to the barracks where Huang Ergou was and devoured his body.

The news quickly spread back to Phoenix Mountain, but Liu Cheng did not show too much joy after hearing it.

This was what he expected, and there was really nothing to be happy about.

The reason why Liu Cheng wanted to fight Huang Ergou was mainly to get some guns.

Despite a certain stockpile of weapons, more than half of the recruits did not have guns in their hands.

According to Liu Cheng's understanding of Zhang Haipeng, Zhang Haipeng has a lot of sophisticated weapons in his hands.

As one of the few big traitors that the Japanese value the most, the Japanese are quite "favored" to Zhang Haipeng, and he can be called what he wants.

The most obvious is the army food and armament.

Zhang Haipeng's troops were not even worse than the Japanese soldiers, and the weapons and equipment could be said to be everything.

Now that the independent battalion is almost openly appearing in Chaoyang, Zhang Haipeng naturally will not pretend not to know.

Huang Ergou is easy to deal with, because he is just a small security captain, and those people in the security team are also recruited from the local area, which can be described as a rabble.

But Zhang Haipeng's troops are different, they used to be the main force of the Northeast Army, which was created by Lao Zhang's painstaking efforts, and even the bullets consumed for training were not less than those of the Japanese soldiers, and all of them were elite soldiers.

Liu Cheng knew in his heart that within a few days, Zhang Haipeng's team would rush to Chaoyang to encircle and suppress them.

This is indeed an opportunity to temper the troops, and at the same time, it is also a severe test.

Since the establishment of the independent battalion, dozens of battles have been fought, large and small, but not once on this scale.

There are four or five thousand people on his side, and Zhang Haipeng will at least send a team of 18,000 to clean it up.

Prior to this, Liu Cheng had already made a detailed investigation of Zhang Haipeng's strength, and knew that his direct troops had three divisions and an independent mixed brigade.

Among them, the strongest combat effectiveness is the newly formed independent mixed brigade, and even the establishment and name are copied from the Japanese army, and the real control is naturally in the hands of the Japanese.

Among the remaining three divisions, two are the old foundations of the Northeast Army, and the other division was formed by Zhang Haipeng later.

Liu Cheng guessed that Zhang Haipeng would send at least one division or more this time, and it must be one of the two divisions with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Liu Cheng must make a thorough plan in advance, otherwise the independent battalion will definitely suffer an unprecedented blow.

The first thing to do is to replenish weapons and equipment.

Defeating Huang Ergou's security team is only the first step, and the surrounding counties must not let it go.

There is also the Okamoto Brigade stationed in Chifeng, and they can't be stopped, otherwise as soon as Zhang Haipeng's team arrives, the independent battalion will be passive.

While sending the 1st and 3rd Companies to attack the Huang Ergou Division, Liu Cheng asked Hao Dabao to secretly lead people to the ammunition base and bring back all the guns he had saved before.

When the team was dispersed before, almost all of those cannons were left for Guan Hong, and this time they had to be brought back together; Only one anti-tank gun and one mortar were left for Guan Hong.

Akamine, Okamoto Brigade Headquarters.

Kumazaburo Okamoto put down the phone and sat back in his chair with a frown.

He had just called the Kwantung Army Command to report on the appearance of a contingent of about 5,000 people in Chaoyang.

However, the reply given to him by the Kwantung Army Headquarters was to ask him to ignore it and leave it to Zhang Haipeng to deal with.

The last time Okamoto's brigade lost a squadron, the Kwantung Army command was indeed on the side of Okamoto Kusaburo.

However, the meaning of the headquarters this time is obvious, that is, let him not get involved in Zhang Haipeng's combat deployment, and stay in Chifeng honestly.
