Li Ziyuan arranged for the troops to blow up the fortifications built by the Japanese puppet army in Pingchuan, and all of them withdrew from Pingchuan Town with the captured booty at the first time, and after withdrawing to the hilly area in the east and making defensive preparations, he opened the tomb entrance of Wang Tieshi's ancestral tomb with great interest.

Wang Tieshi's ancestral tomb is in addition to the surrounding circle of graves. The main thing is to use local materials and renovate from an ancient tomb that originally existed here. The entrance to the tomb was only sealed with a few large stone slabs, and the upper edge was not covered with sealed soil. Therefore, it is not very difficult to find the entrance to the tomb.

When Li Ziyuan went down to the tomb with Liu Lianming with the seized flashlight, he looked at the few coffins placed on the coffin bed in this small tomb. Li Ziyuan hesitated, but still pried open one of the coffins. What exactly is inside, Li Ziyuan is still very interested.

Although the digging of people's ancestral graves is a bit unauthentic, Li Ziyuan still insists that Wang Tieshi's ancestors will definitely not be in these coffins. Where that old man's ancestors are buried, I'm afraid he doesn't even know himself. Besides, even if it is his ancestor, according to what this guy did after the Japanese army entered and occupied Hubei, it is normal for his ancestor to carry a black cauldron.

But when the coffin was pried open, Li Ziyuan and everyone in the tomb were stunned. Inside the coffin was indeed not the ancestor of the hardcore traitor, but the oil-sealed Liao 13 and Czech rifles were neatly placed. After prying open all the coffins, it was found that none of these coffins contained Wang Tieshi's ancestors at all, and all the weapons and ammunition were placed inside.

After counting the coffins in the tomb and the boxes containing the burial goods, there were 200 Czech and Liao 13 rifles, 150 Gongzao Yuannian rifles and Hanyang-made rifles, and 100 Shui Lianzhu rifles. There are 50 Gongzao flower machines, and a total of 100 Fengzao and Gongzao barge guns. Plus twenty Czech light machine guns, and five Gongzao Maxim heavy machine guns.

In addition to these weapons, which were enough to equip a regiment, there were also a large number of seventy-nine bullets, seventy-sixty-three barge shell bullets, and a batch of Jinzao grenades. However, in addition to grenades, there are no weapons and equipment made by Jin, which also verifies the secret story that this guy secretly hid and secretly transported the captured Fengjun weapons back to Shanxi when he participated in the Second Northern Expedition.

Liao 13 rifles and Czech rifles were the standard weapons and equipment of the original Feng Army and later the Northeast Army. Except for the equipment in the Northeast Army, other units are basically not equipped. Especially after the loss of the Northeast after the September 18 Incident, even the number of equipment of the Northeast Army was much less.

When this guy followed the Jin Sui Army to participate in the Second Northern Expedition, it seemed that he had made a lot of private goods. I don't know how this guy managed to sneak these weapons back to the southeast of Jin. This guy can also be regarded as a powerful person, and under the condition that the Jin Sui army has such a tight control over Shanxi, he can still transport this batch of weapons back to Shanxi.

As for those Gongzao weapons and water Lianzhu rifles, I am afraid that this guy also bought them from the remnants of the Northwest Army that withdrew to the southeast of Jin. This guy has secretly hoarded so many weapons and ammunition, is he going to resell it for a fortune, or is he going to keep it for himself?

However, as for Wang Tieshi hiding so many weapons and ammunition in private, Li Ziyuan couldn't control what he was going to do. But since he found out, then it's all his. Of course, he couldn't digest these weapons anyway, and he still had to hand them in.

After transporting the weapons and ammunition in the tomb, Zeng Sheng outside saw so many weapons and ammunition and his eyes straightened. Coupled with the weapons captured from the Japanese puppet army, after Zeng Sheng and his instructor looked at each other, the first feeling was that he was rich. Of course, the premise of this wealth is to have the idea of transporting this batch of weapons and equipment back.

Fortunately, although the area of Pingchuan Town is not large, it is the richest town in the eastern part of Hubei. Chang Juan not only raised a batch of cloth and medicine in a short period of time, but also brought several large trucks in the puppet garrison headquarters to load these weapons and ammunition.

Otherwise, the transportation of these weapons alone would have exhausted both forces. And, of course, the puppet army captives, who can serve as free labor. The only thing that made Chang Juan a little disappointed was that because of the short time, she was not able to effectively mobilize Pingchuan Town. The idea of replenishing some of Li Ziyuan's recruits here was completely frustrated.

After loading and unloading the weapons as quickly as possible, Li Ziyuan led the troops to join Zeng Sheng, and after using the weapons and ammunition in Wang Tieshi's ancestral tomb on the spot, the remaining coffins buried the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers and marked them, and quickly retreated to the eastern mountains. As for the Luoma and Qiaokou, which must be passed through to return to the eastern mountains, Li Ziyuan didn't care too much.

For he was preparing to turn north, join up with the divisional forces, and then withdraw to the eastern mountains. Enough equipment to equip a regiment, he doesn't have such a big appetite to digest it, and what should be handed over still has to be handed in. In particular, the two infantry guns and the five mortars could not carry them to fight guerrilla attacks on their own.

Li Ziyuan, who quickly evacuated Pingchuan with his troops, had not gone far when he encountered a battalion of the divisional cadre regiment who came to meet him. I realized that as soon as his side started, he was discovered by the scouts of the division. After receiving the report, Wang Cheng, who was directing the troops to spread along the entire line of the Baijin Railway Line north of Hubei, scolded him for his audacity, and then sent the troops to respond.

Seeing the troops who came to respond, Li Ziyuan was not polite. Bring it up directly, since it's already here, then do it a favor. Cooperate with them to defeat the Fallen Horse Stronghold and completely open their route out of the mountain. When the time comes, weapons, ammunition and prisoners will belong to the main forces.

Li Ziyuan's request made the battalion commander who led the team to meet them somewhat difficult. But the weapons and ammunition loaded on several carts also made the two of them drool a little. Although the bait thrown by Li Ziyuan was very large, the two of them still did not dare to make this determination. After all, this is a unified action of the military region, and it is impossible for them to act on their own.

For these two guys who want to take advantage of them and are still a little timid, Li Ziyuan is very contemptuous. can be despised and the strength of others still has to be relied upon. In the end, Li Ziyuan decided to see the old chief, and then the old chief should not take his own things, and he should be so soft.

When Li Ziyuan found Wang Cheng, who was commanding the troops and mobilizing the masses, and was in full swing to dismantle the railway, in the village at the junction of Hubei and Ludong, he also reported his plan to Wang Cheng straight to the point. Li Ziyuan's attitude was very clear, although Pingchuan took it, he definitely couldn't keep it.

However, at least one of the two strongholds of Luoma and Qiaokou must be taken, otherwise their troops can only sit in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei, looking at the rich western basin area and drooling. This time, the main force in the mountain has dispatched so much, and it must be not inferior to such a battalion and a half.

Looking at the winter cotton clothes that Li Ziyuan was still wearing, Wang Cheng, who knew their situation very well, hesitated for a moment, but still made a report to the military sub-divisions responsible for commanding Ludong and Hubei. He also made a detailed report to the head of the sub-district on the current plight of the Hubei Guerrillas.

As a result, Wang Cheng did not expect that the head of the Taihang Military Region was also at the divisional headquarters at this moment. Hearing Wang Cheng's report, the head of the Taihang Military Region immediately made a decision, asking Wang Cheng to adjust the troops and send part of the troops to assist Li Ziyuan in pulling out the two strongholds of Luoma and Qiaokou. As for the operational areas for which the original backbone regiments were responsible, the main regiment sent a battalion to take over them.

At present, the enemy of Changzhi is entangled by the main force of the Taiyue Military Region from the east, and he simply does not have the energy to advance eastward to reinforce Hubei. The main force of the Taihang Military Region in this sabotage operation was also exhausted, and the use of troops was still relatively relaxed. Therefore, several leaders did not embarrass Li Ziyuan, after all, Hubei County is the southwest gate of Taihang District, and if the situation opens up here, it will be a good thing for the entire Taihang Military Region.

However, the cannons captured by Li Ziyuan had to be handed over to the military region together with the cannons. As for the other weapons and ammunition, except for a part left by Li Ziyuan at his own discretion, half of the family in the military region and the Ludong Army Division. For this request, of course, Li Ziyuan will not refuse. However, he also proposed that he could temporarily borrow the cannons of the puppet army.

Since the superiors approved Li Ziyuan's request, Wang Cheng naturally would not disagree. After Wang Cheng directly accepted the weapons and ammunition captured by the puppet army, he sent a battalion to cooperate with Li Ziyuan to attack the stronghold first. When Li Ziyuan was leaving, Wang Cheng thought about it and explained to him alone.

After this battle, the Japanese puppet army is afraid that it will retaliate with all its might, and it is impossible for the main force of the division to only focus on one Hubei County. Let him be careful, don't be arrogant and be attacked by devils. The lessons of the battle in Wangjiagou must be firmly remembered. In addition, the more than 100 migrant workers rescued by the troops in this raid were temporarily handed over to him for resettlement.

Because among these migrant workers, in addition to the locals in the southeast of Shanxi, there are also some Japanese puppet soldiers who were captured from Hebei. The accent is wrong, once it is discovered by the Japanese puppet army, I am afraid that I will not be able to run far and will be caught. And the troops also had to cover the retreat of the villagers who participated in the raid, so these migrant workers were temporarily handed over to him for resettlement.

The meaning behind the old superior's words, Li Ziyuan understood it very well. He knew that this was an old superior who knew the situation in Hubei very well, and that it was difficult for his troops to replenish new soldiers. That's why I handed over this group of migrant workers to myself, so that I could find a way to mobilize a group of people from the middle.

Otherwise, these migrant workers still need to be resettled by their superiors? The main forces were also short of recruits. Besides, even if such a large Taihang Mountain area is poor, there is no problem in relocating more than 100 Hebei migrant workers. The old boss has considered himself very comprehensively.

However, Wang Cheng still expressed considerable dissatisfaction with Li Ziyuan's move to take the risk of fighting Pingchuan. Together with the military sub-division, and even the head of the Taihang Military Region, they all felt that Li Ziyuan's operation was too risky. However, although Li Ziyuan paid a certain price in this battle, he won the battle after all. The superior head is not good at saying too much.

But for Wang Cheng, there are not so many taboos. During the private conversation, Wang Cheng criticized Li Ziyuan very fiercely, and he was too reckless. He has so little capital, if this battle is tossed in, when the time comes, see how he Li Ziyuan will explain to his superiors?
