On the morning of September 29, Happy Valley, more than 60 miles away from De'an

A winding and rugged mountain road flickered between the two mountain ranges, and this kind of easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain was a good place to block, and naturally became Su Jin's first choice for choosing a blocking position.

On the hillsides on both sides of this road, more than 1,000 militia soldiers are constantly waving their sapper shovels, hoes and other tools to dig trenches nervously.

Su Jin, who is the supreme commander of the People's League, is also a pioneer, a sapper shovel in his hand is flying fast, and a ball of soil is constantly flying out of the trench, he is digging the soil while loudly encouraging everyone: "Everyone work hard, dig the trench a little deeper, don't underestimate this trench, dig it well and save your life!" ”

With the encouragement of Su Jin and officers at all levels, the soldiers were desperately digging trenches. More than a thousand meters away from the blocking position, Xiaoyu also led her artillery company to nervously arrange the artillery position. This newly established artillery company was composed of dozens of artillery soldiers gathered by Su Jin in Jiujiang City, and in order to increase the strength of the artillery company, Su Jin also equipped them with more than 100 recruits, bringing the total number to more than 200 people.

The artillery battery is currently equipped with a total of 32 mortars, including the M1 81 mm mortar, the M2 60 mm mortar, and the M30 107 mm mortar, which is also the only artillery support weapon of the militia at present. Su Jin placed them next to a forest one kilometer away behind the hillside, which could ensure their safety to the greatest extent, and in the woods a few hundred meters away from the artillery company was Mi Xiaoya and their medical brigade, even so, Su Jin still did not feel at ease and put a company of troops here to ensure their safety.

The artillery company led by Xiaoyu was arranging the position, Zhang Xiuniang was not idle, and now she was nervously learning the technology of receiving and receiving telegrams with a telegraph operator who Su Jin had "invited" from him. It's also interesting to say, now Xiaoyu, a girl who used to just take care of her own lady's living in Erlong Mountain, has become a cannon sister, but Zhang Xiuniang, who is dedicated to practicing martial arts on weekdays, has a strong interest in radio and sending and receiving newspapers, and now their master and servant have also become Su Jin's indispensable helpers.

Just when Su Jin was working the civil engineering work, there was a sound of footsteps next to him, and a communication soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back ran over and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the reconnaissance platoon in front has reported that a convoy of the national army has been found three kilometers ahead, and it is now being pursued by the cavalry of the Japanese army, and the reconnaissance platoon asks for instructions on whether to cover their retreat." ”

"!" Su Jin stood up straight and scolded: "There are only a few people in the reconnaissance platoon, since the Japanese army has appeared, it is also a squadron, what is the use of their people?" Tell them not to act rashly! ”

The communication soldier answered, picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to speak, but was stopped by Su Jin: "Wait a minute, you ask them again, didn't the convoy of the national army retreat a long time ago, why is there still a convoy now, so that the reconnaissance platoon can immediately find out the identity of the other party?" ”

"Understood!"

In the past few days, after the militia group has basically completed the change of clothes, Su Jin has a lot more money. Even if he had a little spare money, he felt that the communication remained unchanged, so he cashed out more than a dozen Motoro SCR300tm knapsack FM walkie-talkies from the weapons store, and directly equipped these things to the company level, this kind of walkie-talkie weighing 35 pounds with a communication distance of 10 miles After equipping the troops, it was immediately warmly welcomed by the troops, and Wu Yonglin, who was born in the 36th Division and is now the deputy commander of the third battalion, even praised that with this thing, the combat effectiveness of the troops can be improved by at least one or two grades.

Soon, the signal corpsman reported: "Sir, the reconnaissance company said that they estimated that there was an artillery unit in those convoys, and it was estimated that they had retreated relatively late, and there were more things so they fell behind, so they were bitten by the Japanese army." ”

"These bastards!"

Su Jin scolded in a low voice, and he didn't know if he was scolding the Japanese or the national army who were slow to move. He thought for a moment before frowning and said, "In this way, you tell the reconnaissance platoon and let them cover that convoy as much as possible, so that those troops can withdraw smoothly." But at the same time, we must also tell them not to fight hard with the Japanese, we can't do a loss-making deal. ”

"Yes!"

Three kilometers away from Happy Valley, a convoy of more than a dozen Biford trucks was speeding towards Happy Valley, the first three trucks were each dragging a cannon behind the cabin, and the rest of the trucks were standing with many people, some soldiers were shooting at the back with rifles in their hands. At the back of the convoy, more than 100 Japanese cavalry were in hot pursuit, although the truck tried its best to get rid of these Japanese cavalry, but because the road was too rugged and difficult to walk, the speed was never fast, if it were not for the Japanese scruples and did not dare to get too close, I am afraid that the convoy would have been caught up by the Japanese cavalry, but the problem soon appeared.

At this tense moment, a truck with an artillery gun in front of the convoy suddenly broke down, so that the truck behind also stopped, more than ten people on the car jumped down from the car in a panic and ran towards several trucks behind, when they were busy getting into the car behind, the cavalry behind had already caught up, and in an instant, several soldiers were shot and fell, and more than a hundred cavalry rushed over in the roaring sound of horses' hooves, and they were about to swallow up the convoy.

At this moment, a strange burst of gunfire suddenly rang out on the side of the road, which was only more than a hundred meters away from them.

"Sneer...... Sneer......"

"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

As the rapid and strange sound of gunfire rang out, a dense rain of metal bullets rained down on the Japanese troops, and the cavalrymen who were rushing towards the convoy fell from their horses as if they had crashed into the once thick walls.

The sudden rain of bullets blinded these Japanese cavalry, and after losing dozens of people, these Japanese soldiers let out a scream, jumped off their horses, and lay down on the spot to prepare to return fire, and at this time, the national soldiers on the truck also reflected, and they all picked up their rifles and shot at the Japanese soldiers.

After more than 10 minutes, except for more than 10 Japanese soldiers who escaped by chance, there was not a single Japanese soldier standing on the road, and only then did more than 20 disguised figures stand on the road......

More than 20 minutes later, more than a dozen trucks appeared in Happy Valley.

"Commander, the convoy is coming!"

On the hillside, Su Jinzheng and a group of soldiers were putting the finishing touches on the position, and a soldier pointed ahead and shouted.

Su Jin, who was wielding a sapper shovel, looked down, and dozens of people in civilian clothes were walking up the hillside with some difficulty, accompanied by a group of soldiers......
