For the army, the trumpet is an order. With the sound of the trumpet, the cadres and soldiers who had long been bitten by this puppet army and were not lightly angry. Without the agitation of the cadres at all, they rushed out of the ambush site with a rifle with a bayonet. It's just that the puppet army that was barely resisting before Yamashita suddenly collapsed when Li Ziyuan launched an attack.

Seeing the Eighth Route rushing down, under the leadership of several veterans who obviously knew the policies of the Eighth Route Army, they threw away their weapons and gave up resistance. Li Ziyuan, who originally thought that he was going to fight hand-to-hand combat, and his subordinates almost didn't scare their jaws off.

Looking at the puppet army squatting all over the ground, all of them could hardly believe their eyes. Is this still the puppet army from before? Why was he still resisting just now, and when it was time to fight with bayonets, he disarmed and surrendered? At that time, when they broke through, their colleagues even dared to fight with bayonets and fight hand-to-hand.

But no one thought that this puppet army, which had been thought to be very different, with quite strong combat effectiveness and such good equipment, would collapse with a single charge. The speed of the collapse is not even as fast as those pseudo-garrisons. This battle is like a person who uses all his strength to hit someone, but before the fist hits, that person collapses.

However, the surrender of these puppet troops, for whatever reason, fortunately reduced their burden and accelerated the process of the battle. On the one hand, Li Ziyuan arranged for the troops to collect the weapons of these puppet troops, and on the other hand, he mobilized a reinforced company and quickly rushed out to the mountain pass.

The gunfire died down, and the shouting in the valley stopped. The puppet army outside the ambush circle is not stupid, knowing that their friendly forces have collapsed. Under the lead of the young adviser sent by the Japanese army, he immediately turned around and headed north.

The puppet corps commander who led the team couldn't care about the order that his commander-in-chief had repeatedly told him before the attack that he must get a jackpot so as to lay a good foundation for the expansion in the future. If we don't run now, we will expand into an army, and we will not be able to reap any benefits.

Before, he had the advantage of troops and firepower, and it was okay to bully these eight roads. If you can eat this Hachilu in one go, the Japanese will naturally look at it differently. But now the two battalions in front of him are gone, and if he still insists here. When that eight-way force turns around, won't it be unlucky for me to have only two companies left now?

And the Japanese soldier who supervised the battle was not stupid, if these two companies were serious Japanese soldiers, he would naturally not give up like this. But these two companies are puppet soldiers, and they are not reliable in his eyes. The battle ahead has shown that the combat effectiveness of these people is actually a bunch of garbage.

It's all the result, where does he dare to carry it here? My task here is to supervise the war and control these unreliable Chinese people, and not to take this opportunity to fight again, and I am not in charge of fighting here. The person who knows the times is Junjie, although he is not a Junjie, but he is also the elite of the Japanese Empire, and he cannot be buried here.

This is a young man who knows the times and is Junjie, and he doesn't even need to ask the regiment commander of the puppet army for instructions. As soon as the gunfire in front of him subsided, he took the lead in sliding backwards in the name of asking for combat guidance from his superiors. He ran fast, and the pseudo-legion commander was not slow. The Japanese are all gone, why are they still dying here?

As a result, by the time Li Ziyuan's troops arrived, this puppet army had already withdrawn in one go, and it was already beyond people's reach. The pursuing troops, who had been a full beat slower, could only come back empty-handed to report. Fortunately, Li Ziyuan is not the kind of greedy person, since everyone has slipped away, he should not chase after him with a dead face.

Li Ziyuan, who didn't want to waste any more time here, saw that there were no fighters to use, so he immediately collected his troops and escorted the captured weapons and withdrew directly to Shili Ridge to hide and wait. By the time the follow-up Japanese puppet army arrived, Li Ziyuan had already begun to rest in Shili Ling.

In addition to holding the mortar and not letting go, he had to carry the congratulatory chapter on his own back. The rest of the captured weapons removed the bolts and left them on the shoulders of the puppet army, along with the ammunition. With so many strong men not using their labor, do they still have to spare their limited forces to carry them by themselves?

These puppet soldiers are quite valued at a glance, and the level of food should be quite good. All of them are quite strong, and their physical fitness seems to be very good, at least. The only pity is that all but one of the horses carrying heavy weapons were killed by Li Ziyuan's machine gun fire. With these captives as labor, the troops were suddenly much easier.

After entering Shililing, I looked at the troops who looked quite tired from continuous battles. Li Ziyuan gritted his teeth and decided to rest here for a whole day. After this ambush, the troops captured not only weapons and ammunition, but also a batch of provisions. Although the quantity is not large, it is enough for the troops not to have to raise food for a few days.

Therefore, after retreating into Shililing, Li Ziyuan did not enter any villages. Go straight to the deepest part of Shili Ridge to rest and recuperate, in order to get as much time as possible to rest. At least let the troops take a little breather and recuperate enough to continue fighting. The most critical thing is that he needs enough time to find the Huguan Independent Battalion.

As far as he knew, the Shililing area was the main area of activity of the Huguan Independent Battalion. The troops rested here for a while, which also allowed him time to find the Huguan Independent Battalion. However, the troops have entered a state of rest, but it does not mean that they are completely relaxed. Li Ziyuan, in particular, can't do any rest and relaxation.

On the one hand, he sent Liu Lianming's reconnaissance company out to reconnoiter the surrounding enemy situation and look for his brother troops in Huguan. On the one hand, they set up radio stations and wanted to get in touch with military sub-districts. Since the sudden change in the situation, Li Ziyuan has been worried about the safety of the military sub-district. At present, the situation is a little more stable, and finding the whereabouts of the military sub-district has become the most anxious thing for him.

As for Ma Yongcheng, he volunteered to do ideological work for the captured puppet army, trying to win over a part of the puppet army to join the Eighth Route Army, so as to replenish the troops with heavy losses as much as possible in the shortest possible time, Li Ziyuan didn't say anything, just asked Zhou Tong to help him do the work.

These captives are as small as 500 people, and even if half of them are won to join them, they are the formed strength of two companies. If Ma Yongcheng can really pull over half of the people, at least when he makes the next move, he can have a little more confidence, and he doesn't have to worry about the lack of troops in his hands.

And by the time of the breakout battle, they had already killed all their own *. The last mortar, because there were no shells available, was a burden to go to war, and the last mortar was blown up. He was ecstatic about the two domestically made 82 mortars and the more than 60 shells they carried.

Now his troops don't have to do infantry work, and they can become artillerymen again. He Huizhang, who is very fond of these two mortars, can laugh out loud even when he sleeps. Regarding this guy's performance, Li Ziyuan shook his head and didn't criticize him.

For Li Ziyuan, it was not this battle that cut off the tail, nor did it capture a batch of weapons and hundreds of prisoners in this battle. Instead, he got the Huguan map that he urgently needed from the few puppet officers who were killed, which was what he needed the most.

What's more, on this map, the movements of the Japanese puppet army in Huguan are clearly indicated. For Li Ziyuan, this is more important than the capture of a few machine guns. I was dozing, so the puppet army brought me a pillow. With this map, for Li Ziyuan, there will undoubtedly be a lot of things saved.

Opening the map, Li Ziyuan kept thinking about the next move of the troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also pondering the next move of the Japanese puppet army. It's just that what to do next, Li Ziyuan still has to wait for Liu Lianming's reconnaissance results. At present, the situation of the enemy is unknown, and he still can't act rashly for the time being.

This time, more than 400 Liao 13 rifles were seized, although in the eyes of some people they are not as good as the official or Czech ones, but in Li Ziyuan's opinion, they are already very good. *The number of seizures is not large, but more than 1,000 pieces made in the Northeast* are enough to be used for a while.

More than 20 Dagu guns, more than 10 Dagu shell guns, and a few horse box guns. Although the caliber of the five original Hatch Chase heavy machine guns is older, some are better than nothing. With 36 Czech-type and Belgian-made light machine guns, plus the original equipment, this time their own troops can be over-equipped.

The most important thing is that more than 100,000 rounds of seven or nine bullets were captured this time, which is enough for himself to use for a while. This pseudo-legion pursued itself this time, except that each of them was issued a hundred rounds of ammunition and four*. Each heavy machine gun carried three thousand rounds of ammunition, and the light machine gun carried four magazines and a thousand rounds of loose ammunition, in addition to a spare batch of ammunition,

Although the dozen or so grenadiers were second-hand goods given by the Japanese army, they were well maintained. The ammunition captured this time can not only completely replenish the battle damage, but also allow the troops to have some reserves. At least in terms of ammunition, I don't have to worry about it for a short time. It's just an extra weapon, but Li Ziyuan has a headache.

It's all a little impossible, but it can't all be buried here, this is not his old base after all. If you bury it here, it means a permanent loss. It would be a good idea to hand over all the surplus weapons to the Huguan Independent Battalion, but where are they moving now?

And what happened to the third battalion, Li Ziyuan has always been worried about them. I highlighted the encirclement that Tsuruta Numan painstakingly set up, can Tsuruta Numan let them go? Whether they have escaped from the pursuit of the Japanese puppet army now, and whether they have escaped from danger, makes Li Ziyuan a little worried.

Glancing at Ma Yongcheng, who was spitting over there, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said nothing. This aspect is Ma Yongcheng's strength. Let him play freely, and fight for as much as he can. If you really can't win any of them, then you can only admit it.

Li Ziyuan has now learned the true identities of these puppet soldiers, and has a very detailed understanding of these puppet soldiers. Judging from the uniforms and configurations of these puppet soldiers, the commander-in-chief attaches great importance to this teaching group. At least the very generous military salary was not something that the Eighth Route Army could give.

These people went to join the puppet army, except for the military salary that they could support their families, what other reasons could they have? It's not so easy to be a dog for the Japanese. Not only is the reputation notorious, but the Japanese army often does not treat these puppet soldiers as human beings. Who would do such a thing if it wasn't for military pay? With this starting point, who knows how many people Ma Yongcheng can mobilize.
