Li Ziyuan, who was rapidly retreating eastward with the trophies on his shoulders, did not notice the Japanese puppet army that was getting closer and closer. And the Japanese puppet army, which was cautiously advancing in the direction of Li Jiawa, also did not find Li Ziyuan's department that was getting closer and closer.

Perhaps this Chinese New Year's Eve in the fourth year is destined to be an extraordinary night for the two opponents of Li Ziyuan and Tsuruta Numanan. And this Chinese New Year's Eve also kicked off the prelude to the two people's bitter struggle throughout the four years and the next four or two years. And the result of this bitter struggle can only be completely ended when one of the two people completely falls.

Both of them have their own ghosts, and they don't know that they will encounter their opponents in a very short period of time, and they are all rushing in the direction of Li Jiawa at this moment. The difference is between a rush to return to the station to recuperate, and a desire to reach the target before dawn.

But just when the two armies were getting closer and closer, and even reached the point where Li Jiawa was not far from the southeast, which was only separated by a hill. Guo Laosan, who was standing in front, suddenly stopped Li Ziyuan. His face was a little solemn and said, "Battalion commander, something is wrong with the situation. My instinct tells me that there are devils in our neighborhood. And this devil is already very close to us. ”

Hearing Guo Laosan's alarm, Li Ziyuan, who was convinced of Guo Laosan, immediately commanded the troops to go up the mountain without saying a word. And he took Liu Lianming's direct platoon and quickly went up to the mountain. But there was some silence at the bottom of the mountain, and there was not a trace of light.

Ma Yongcheng, who went up the mountain with Li Ziyuan, after looking at it for a long time and not finding anything, said to Li Ziyuan: "Battalion commander, there is nothing under this mountain, is it that Lao Guo has some grass and trees?" The devils are now celebrating the New Year in Hubei County, so they will attack us at this time. ”

Regarding Ma Yongcheng's opinion, Li Ziyuan shook his head. Although he didn't find anything in the night, Li Ziyuan, who didn't put down the telescope in his hand, just said lightly: "Old Ma, I may not believe what others say." But what Lao Guo said, I believe. He said that if there are devils around here, then there must be devils. ”

"Besides, who told you that we can Chinese New Year's Eve and take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese puppet army's slack during the New Year to sneak attack the Japanese puppet army. The Japanese puppet army can't take advantage of our same mentality to sneak attack us at this time. Don't forget, the devil still has two nails, and we haven't found out yet. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan put down the binoculars in his hand, looked at the sky that was already a little polished, and said to Liu Lianming beside him: "You take one of your classes and go down the mountain to feel the situation." When descending the mountain, be careful not to make a noise. If there is nothing unusual at the bottom of the mountain, continue the search in a northerly direction. If there is a situation, you should come back and report it immediately, and as long as the devils do not find you, do not shoot. ”

Liu Lianming, who did not hesitate at all after receiving the order, took a squad of soldiers around him down the mountain to carry out the task. After Li Ziyuan took out his fast and slow machine and connected it to the holster, he turned his head to Qian Defu and the soldiers around him, and gave the order to immediately disperse and prepare for battle.

After the deployment was completed, Li Ziyuan asked Zeng Sheng to call over: "Whether there are devils or not, don't stay." If it is really confirmed that there are devils near us, judging from the terrain, this Japanese puppet army should come from the territory of Ludong, and the target should be Li Jiawa. Here I took the second company, the fire platoon, and the platoon directly under me to drag the Japanese puppet army. ”

"You take your company and the third company, and immediately take the captured weapons and supplies to the south and go straight to Li Jiawa. After arriving in Lijiawa, he immediately asked Secretary Liu to mobilize the villagers to transfer. The devil sneaked up on us on Chinese New Year's Eve this time, and he will definitely not give up. We can't let the tragedy of Wangjiagou be staged again in Lijiawa. ”

"My order to you is that none of these supplies and ammunition are to be thrown away. Even if your kid and your company are all exhausted, you have to rush to Lijiawa in front of the Japanese puppet army. After notifying Secretary Liu and them, don't rush over again, and cover the transfer of the villagers in Lijiawa on the spot. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan thought for a while and said, "You left me the gas bombs that captured the devils, as well as the Meiji heavy machine gun." If you can take the rest of the supplies, take them with you as much as possible. These materials are related to us, whether we can really turn the situation around in Hubei in the future. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan's solemn face, Zeng Sheng and Qian Defu did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately went down the mountain to carry out the order. But just as the two of them hurriedly ran down the mountain, several gunshots came from the direction of Liu Lianming's descent from the mountain, which verified the correctness of Guo Laosan's alarm.

Hearing the not very dense gunfire coming from the bottom of the mountain, Li Ziyuan immediately reacted, this is Liu Lianming, who went down the mountain to reconnoitre, and the scouts sent by the Japanese puppet army have encountered. Li Ziyuan, who reacted, immediately commanded the soldiers around him to disperse first, covering the second company of Qian Defu behind.

And at this moment, the situation under the mountain has changed again. Not only the sound of rifle fire, but even the crooked-handled machine gun joined in. When Liu Lianming, who was holding one arm, withdrew with people, the flares under the mountain also rose. The Japanese puppet army, which had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain, was adjusting its formation and preparing to attack.

Returning with the soldiers, Liu Lianming panted and said: "Captain, as soon as we touched the foot of the mountain, we encountered several sharp soldiers of the Japanese puppet army. The devils reacted quickly, and we shot as soon as we encountered them. We managed to get rid of the pursuit of the devils and retreated. ”

After listening to Liu Lianming's report, Li Ziyuan, who knew that there was no way out at this time, made up his mind to fight directly without any ambiguity. And after receiving the report, Tsuruta Numanan at the foot of the mountain felt quite lucky. actually didn't go to Lijiawa, so he encountered this dirt eight roads.

These gunshots did not make him frustrated that the sneak attack had been exposed, but because of the capture of Li Ziyuan's department here, it made Tsuruta Numanan feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Although the direction of this dirt road came from made Tsuruta Nunan's heart a little tight. Knowing that this Tubalu must have the same thoughts as himself, he took the opportunity to sneak attack the stronghold of the fallen horse.

But in any case, I have already intercepted it here. Since there is no point in Li Jiawa at the moment, it is the same to fight here. Fighting an encounter will give you an advantage in terms of the quality of the Imperial Army, as well as your own firepower.

However, I am worried about this always cunning dirt road, using the last trace of the night at the moment, the remnants of the cover of the night, and the Tsuruta Numu who slipped out from under his nose. After a slight hesitation, it was decided to divide the troops and encircle them first, and not to attack for the time being. Stick this dirt to the eight roads first, and wait until dawn to completely solve it. Anyway, it's less than an hour before dawn.

Tsuruta Numan made up his mind to stick to this dirt road first. And Li Ziyuan also made up his mind to drag this Japanese puppet army first to buy time for Zeng Sheng's transfer. Both of them are determined to have a hard fight with each other here. This contact is destined to be thunderous.

But although he made up his mind to attract the Japanese puppet army to his periphery as much as possible to cover Zeng Sheng's retreat, Li Ziyuan still paid attention to his flanks. Especially beware of yourself, you must not be surrounded. So he put two heavy machine guns, all on the flanks.

On the front, two high-rate ** airborne machine guns were concentrated, as well as four Czech light machine guns and a captured strong-barreled machine gun. Now for Li Ziyuan, the biggest benefit is to control the commanding heights. Moreover, the direction of the mountains here is relatively messy, which is conducive to him narrowing the scope of his defenses.

Both sides were adjusting their deployments after experiencing the initial contact, Tsuruta Numan was not in a hurry to attack, and Li Ziyuan was naturally not in a hurry to evacuate, and the two teams were facing each other on the mountain and down the mountain. But both Li Ziyuan and Tsuruta Numan know that when the sky is completely bright, it will be the real hard knock.

As for Li Ziyuan's intention to neither break through nor take the initiative to attack, Tsuruta Numan had already guessed it. But for him at this moment, eliminating this ** of the dirt and eight roads as soon as possible has occupied all his thinking. As for the punishment of Li Jiawa's gangsters, he had long been left behind.

When the sky finally began to light up one after another, the excited Tsuruta Numan was also very calm. The troops who first let themselves run for most of the night, and then alerted the troops in the middle of the night first finished breakfast before concentrating a small squad of the Japanese army and two squads of the puppet army, and launched the first round of attacks under the cover of artillery fire.

The capital invested by Tsuruta Numan is not small, and it is an intensive artillery attack. And in one go, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, including the light machine guns of the puppet army, were concentrated to cover the attack. And Li Ziyuan on the mountain calmly responded to the battle, and put the charging Japanese puppet army at a distance of 100 meters before all of them fired.

With light and heavy machine guns and grenades, plus rifle volleys, it resisted stubbornly. And the machine-gun fire he left behind made Tsuruta Numanan firm in his decision to deal with the enemy in front of him first. With so many machine guns, it is the main force of the Eighth Route at first glance. Regardless of whether this force is the target they are looking for or not, it is still a great achievement to deal with them first.

Li Ziyuan took advantage of the stubborn resistance on the hill under his control, while Tsuruta Numanan relied on the superiority of troops and firepower to launch a continuous charge with the puppet army taking the lead and the Japanese army then supervising the formation. When the frontal assault is knocked down, a flank breakthrough is taken. The flank breakthrough also failed, so a two-sided attack was adopted.

In order to defeat the resistance of Li Ziyuan's troops as soon as possible, Tsuruta Numan gave full play to his advantages in firepower and troops to the greatest extent. Use firepower and puppet troops to fully consume Li Ziyuan's living force, and then invest in their real attack power, and that reinforced squadron will lay victory in one fell swoop.

When its two infantry guns supported the attack, it can be said that they did not care about the number of shells they carried. Even ignoring the casualties of the puppet army in the lead, they were still firing at a distance of 50 meters between the two armies. Although the number of these two infantry guns was not much, they turned Li Ziyuan's position into ruins.

And the puppet army, which was used to take the lead and consume Li Ziyuan's vital strength and ammunition, also desperately launched an attack on the hill under the threat of the so-called advisers, the Japanese commanders of the actual commanders, and the bayonets of the Japanese army superintendents behind them. Anyone who retreated was shot by the Japanese soldiers behind him without hesitation.

Although during the confrontation between the two armies, the second company led by Li Ziyuan hurriedly built improvised fortifications. However, this kind of improvised field fortifications made of mounds of earth are difficult to provide effective protection for Li Ziyuan's troops in the face of small artillery such as the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun. When the fierce battle of half a morning passed, the second company, which relied on the hill to resist, suffered many casualties under the repeated onslaught of the Japanese puppet army.
