Chapter 3 Vertical and Horizontal (5 Below)

"Commissioner Peng said that the devil is too powerful." The voice just fell. Li Laojiu put down the tea bowl. Stand up and retort loudly.

"yes. Oh, yes. Commissioner Peng is also too much to boost the morale of others." The core backbone of several other independent battalions spoke to Li Laojiu one after another." How many pounds and taels does the little devil have? It's not like we've been untitled. It's not just a matter of horses."

"A squadron wants to take the Black Rock Village. Do they have three heads and six arms?"

"Huh. Soldiers are coming to block. Water comes from the earth to cover ......"

Fought several victories in a row. The morale of the independent battalion is high. From top to bottom. The new officers, including Zhou Heitan. There is a sense of pride in my heart. I always feel that the Japanese devils who have been rumored to be strong in the past. It's actually a bit of a rumor. Really get hands on it. It may not be better than the horse thieves of Yellowbeard and the like. And even at some angle . The combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the likes of Yellowbeard.

"Previously led by Junji Fujita. Just the local garrison of the Japanese . Both in terms of the quality of soldiers and armament . There is a big gap with the main forces of the Kwantung Army. Unbelief. You can ask Lao Wu about them." Knowing that he is currently in the independent battalion and does not have enough prestige. Peng Xuewen had to take the initiative to ask for help from the liaison officers sent by the 211th Brigade." They had fought against the main forces of the little devils in the area of Bailing Temple. I know how difficult it is for the little devil regular army to deal with."

There is no one from the Central Bureau to follow him and cause chaos. The liaison officers of the 211th Brigade. still retains a bit of the true character of a soldier. Nodding. Zheng Zheng helped explain: "Indeed. The combat effectiveness of the regular troops of the little devils. It is several notches stronger than the local garrison. In the twentieth year of the Republic of China. Our Jin Sui Army has a division and a brigade. Fight a division of the puppet army and an infantry squadron of little devils. In the case of more than half of the puppet army defecting. They were not able to annihilate them all."

"Then you won in the end. Isn't it.." See the liaison officers' elbows turned out. Li Laojiu asked unhappily.

"It was we who won. But it didn't really take advantage of the little devils." The liaison officer surnamed Wu thought about it. Shook his head with a wry smile. Due to the rout of the puppet army first. The battle came later. In fact, it is a cavalry brigade of our Jin Sui Army. Trailing an infantry squadron chasing down the little devils. What ....... the result?"

He sighed deeply. Gave everyone a very disappointing answer." As a result, only more than thirty devils remained. On his own side, more than seventy people were killed. It's almost a matter of two lives in exchange for one life for a little devil. In the end, they were able to get out of the chase calmly."

"Ahh There was a look of disbelief on their faces. In accordance with the establishment of the Jin Sui Army. The total strength of a standard cavalry brigade will not be less than four hundred. One person and two horses. And an infantry squadron on the little devil's side. But the number was only about one hundred and eighty. According to the liaison officer just now. At that time, the Jin Sui army pursued this defeated army with twice the strength of the devil. actually suffered a big loss in the hands of the other party. I still remember it vividly.

"How can this be.." Listen to the liaison officer surnamed Wu said solemnly. Zhou Heitan had to put away his contempt for the enemy. Whisper asking." Could it be that you have been ambushed by the little devils. Or are there other forces secretly helping him.."

"Nope." The liaison officer surnamed Wu sighed again. The voice of the voice unconsciously carried a bit of pain." There were no Mongols to help them. It's our cavalry brigade that goes head-to-head with their infantry squadrons. The difference in strength between the two sides is too far. Regardless of the degree of training of soldiers. Or in terms of weapons. Our cavalry brigade is one man and two horses. The main weapons were sabres and Mauser pistols. And the little devils over there. A small detachment is in it. It was equipped with two light machine guns. Each squad. A grenadier detachment and a heavy machine gun were also added separately. Plus the mortars equipped with the artillery detachment directly under the squadron. Interception fire from a distance alone. That's more than the two regiments of our Jin Sui Army. After the battle began. Our cavalry simply could not break through the line of interception of the little devils . Watching the team be cut into several pieces by the heavy fire of the little devils. If it weren't for the little devil who was afraid of a long delay. Caught in the encirclement of the Jin Sui army. Maybe ........"

"Enough." Zhou Heitan slapped the table. Interrupt loudly." I said Lao Wu. You just don't want me to stay in town. You can't make up nonsense. Anyway, you are also a member of the Jin Sui Army. Your Brigadier Sun sent you over. It's not for the sake of the little devil."

"Brigadier Sun sent me over to help you. That's why I'm even more open and honest with you." The liaison officer surnamed Wu continued to shake his head. With a wry smile, he unbuttoned his chest. Light blue tweed underneath the military uniform. It's a clean white cloth shirt. When the shirt is also lifted. Revealing a chest covered with scars.

"Shhh Zhou Heitan and the others all gasped. Liaison Wu's chest with straight eyes. Those scars are big and small. At first glance, you can tell that it was caused by a cannonball. If you change it to the Black Stone Village where there is a shortage of medical treatment. Anyone has suffered the same injury. I'm afraid there is only one ending. Death with blood flowing out.

"This is the battle of the Bailing Temple." Liaison Officer Wu slowly covered his scarred chest. The wry smile continued to add. Brother I was with a class at the time. Follow our company commander to kick the formation. In the end, our entire company was rescued alive from the battlefield with less than ten men. Four of them didn't make it. Died on the operating table."

The backbone of the independent battalion gasped again. Finally began to seriously consider whether everyone has the strength to fight hard with the little devil's reinforcements. Especially as the head of the battalion, Zhou Heitan. I am reluctant to let the brothers squat in the city and wait to fight the little devils. I gritted my teeth and stared at it for a long time. Only then did a sentence finally come out." Then why didn't you tell me sooner... I thought the regular army of little devils. It's all the kind of goods under Junji Fujita."

"Didn't someone from the Central Bureau of Statistics be watching from the side before?" The liaison officer surnamed Wu muttered quietly in his heart. It's a different set of reasons." If you don't fight a single battle, you will withdraw. I'm afraid that you have a bad reputation for Camp Commander Zhou. Now we've taught the little devil another lesson. The banner of the independent battalion is even fought. Then retreat outside the city to deal with the devils. No one can fault it."

"Just pick it. I didn't lead my brothers to join the Jin Sui Army to show people." Zhou Heitan glanced at him. Said whimsily.

Today's battle outside the city. The main thing is that the people are fighting with the guerrillas. The independent battalion didn't do much at all. If you take the credit of others for yourself. It's really not that kind. Besides, Redbeard, the big boss of the guerrillas, was sitting next to him. Zhou Heitan can't pull off this layer of face.

The other backbones of the Black Wolf Gang are all wearing military uniforms. In his bones, he still hasn't washed off the spirit of the rivers and lakes. Unwilling to use other people's exploits to decorate themselves. They have put forward different suggestions to Zhou Heitan." It's a donkey and it's a horse. Pull it out and walk it to know. We can not stick to the county seat. But we can't wait for the shadow of the devil's reinforcements to withdraw. Let the fellow rivers and lakes laugh at it. Just follow the original method. Evacuate the old camp to the side of the river bay first. Then don't worry about boldly fighting with the little devil again. It's a big deal to teach him a lesson before taking the initiative to retreat. Anyway, the little devils can't catch up with us."

"Yes. Don't give them some color to look at. How can the new little devil know our masters!"

"Hit. Beat. We don't steam steamed buns. Anyway, I have to take a breath."

.........

Similar recommendations. One by one, they poured into Zhou Heitan's ears. Let him be the big boss. It is becoming increasingly difficult to make a final decision. Turning his head, he hesitated and looked around. He finally set his eyes on Redbeard's face." Master Hong. You are the oldest head here. What do you say we should do?"

Redbeard had already considered everyone's conversation several times in his mind. Listen to Zhou Heitan ask for his opinion. Smiled. Said very calmly." Beat. It's definitely going to be hit. The little devils are all raised by bitches. You don't hit him. He doesn't know it hurts."

This sentence. But right for the temper of most of the people present. Immediately won a fierce echo for him." Hong Ye is right. Let's fight first!"

"Hit. It's a big deal."

"Big boss. Battalion commander. We're not the same strength we used to be. Little devils have machine guns and grenadiers . We have it too."

"Hmm. Hmm." Zhou Heitan was distraught by the noise. Coughed vigorously a few times. Suppress the clamor of the people under your command." Didn't you advise me to avoid the devil's edge? Why is it ........ now?"

"To avoid is to avoid. Hit is hit. There is no contradiction between these two at all." Redbeard nodded. The smile on his face instantly became very deep." Keeping you out of the edge. I'm afraid you'll stick to the lonely city. It's the little devil's intention. Let you fight it. It's not that you should go toe-to-toe with the little devils. It's a different approach. Let them come and go."

"What a method.." Zhou Heitan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Can't wait to ask.

"Cut off his wings first. and cut off his limbs. In the end, find a way to trap him in the lonely city of Black Stone Village. Don't even dare to go out of the city gates!" Redbeard waved his arm. Make a slashing gesture." No matter how rich the devil's army is. It's impossible to bring a brigade over. Let's go to this place in Heishi Village. I can't afford to raise so many soldiers. It won't let the little devils take it too seriously. In fact, he rules the common people for the little devils. Or those traitors and traitors. We just need to get the little devil's reinforcements before they arrive. Pack up the traitors and the traitors. I pulled out the little devil's little devils. Even if the little devil's reinforcements occupy the county seat. Decrees can't get out of the city gates. And then we're just outside the city. The devils sent small forces out to provoke. Let's join forces to eat him. If you send a large army out for a decisive battle. Let's divide labor and cooperate. The family is responsible for accompanying him for a walk on the grassland. The other one was in charge of serving his nest. Not more than three times. It's time for the little devil's commander to cut his own stomach again."

"Another Junji Fujita." The horse thieves immediately saw the final outcome of the devil's reinforcements. Coaxed in response.

"Those devils are easy to do. Just give us the independent battalion." For tasks that can make a fortune. Zhou Heitan is absolutely in charge." But ........."

Frowned. He made a look of embarrassment." But Whitebeard over there. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. He has more troops than the three of us combined. And I'm as familiar with the terrain as we are......."

"I have a plan. You can get rid of Whitebeard." It seems that he had already guessed that Zhou Heitan would say this. Redbeard interrupts loudly.

"What a way.." Zhou Heitan Daxi. Immediately open your mouth to ask.

"I can't disclose it yet." Redbeard smiled at him. began to sell off." I need someone else to cooperate."

Say it. He quickly turned his gaze to Peng Xuewen, who had almost become an outsider. Commissioner Peng. I don't know if you're interested. Come with me to Whitebeard."
