Zhiyun's independent battalion was developed on the basis of the original Xianghu detachment. The Xianghu detachment is a local anti-Japanese armed force created by Monkey Zhiyuan and Zhuqing who left their hometown and came to Xianghukou.

Later, this anti-Japanese armed force rose to the regular army of the Eighth Route Army. It started as a company, gradually expanded, and now the formation is an independent battalion.

The main backbone of this unit is still the old foundation of the original Xianghu detachment. Now Liu Qi, the commander of the first company, Wang Dabiao, the commander of the second company, and Liu Quan, the commander of the third company, are all members of the Xianghu detachment.

Zhiyuan, unlike Monkey, showed strong organizational skills at the beginning. And he and the monkey are both learning under the Wuxin mage, and the martial arts and the monkey are in the middle of each other.

After the army was promoted to the regular army, his team continued to strengthen training, although it did not have the combat effectiveness of the Zhuqing squad, but it was still a strong combat force in the entire Eighth Route Army system.

This time, he and Hong Feng's battalion were operating along the railway, so they were ordered to cooperate with the battle of the attacking military columns.

He and Hong Feng led two battalions to attack Yunpu as bait, and successfully transferred a brigade of devils, and they went and fought, and there were more than 1,000 devils in one brigade, and in the end there were more than 700 people left.

It turned out that Zhiyuan and Hong Feng did not plan to destroy the estuary brigade, and when the task of attacking the military column was completed, they planned to break away from the battle.

Now that he suddenly encountered nearly a hundred masters from the Lang team and the Zhuqing team joining the battle, the idea of annihilating the Hekou Brigade was born.

The monkey and Zhuqing met Zhiyuan, and they were excited and difficult to express. Liu Qi, Wang Dabiao and others were also excited. But in the tense moment of the fierce battle, how can there be time to tell the story.

After everyone met, after a few words of gossip, they immediately turned to talking about the military situation.

Zhiyuan said: "Our original task was to transfer the devil out of Yunpu, and after delaying it for a while, we would get out of the fight. Now that the situation has changed, this group of devils is likely to participate in a retaliatory sweep of the base area, so it must be eliminated. In addition, with the addition of the Lang team and the Zhuqing team, we also have the strength to eliminate them. So, our next task is to eliminate the Bayou Brigade. ”

The monkey said: "I agree with the amendment to the combat mission. ”

All other parties agreed.

The monkey said, "I propose to mix the Lang squad and the Zhuqing squad in two battalions to kill and injure the enemy with accurate shooting. ”

Hong Feng said: "Our equipment is similar to that of the devils, and the Lang team and the Zhuqing team can suppress the enemy's machine guns and small steel cannons. Let our heavy weapons work so it will be easier to fight. ”

The monk and Ma Xiao said, "We promise to do this." ”

Zhu Qing said: "In order to reduce casualties, we should try to avoid the way of attacking positions. Or use guerrilla tactics to eliminate devils in the movement. ”

Zhiyuan said: "This opinion is very important, and I agree with it. ”

The monkey said, "Now let's talk about how to fight." ”

Besides, the captain of the estuary commanded the devils to lie on the ground, and there was no movement for a long time, and he knew that the Eighth Route Army was ambushing all around. But he didn't know why the Eighth Route Army didn't show up to fight them.

It's not a problem to lie on your stomach all the time. His original goal was to eliminate this group of Eighth Route Army, but now he has also made a correction to his mission, which is to quickly escape from the battle and flee for his life.

As soon as the estuary ordered the devils to get up, gunshots suddenly rang out from all sides. As soon as the gunshots rang out, more than a dozen or twenty devils were killed.

Kawaguchi immediately ordered the devil to lie down. After repeating this several times, he finally saw that something was wrong.

He saw that the Eighth Route Army, which had been in ambush in the village, was making a detour from the west to the north, apparently trying to surround his team.

This Eighth Route Army was very powerful, although it was not as powerful as those sharpshooters, but it was the strongest opponent that the Estuary Brigade had encountered.

Now that his team has lost more than a hundred people, his troops are no longer as large as those of the other side, and if he adds these sharpshooters, he can't beat them at all. This strengthened the determination of the estuary to escape.

A situation was also seen in the estuary, in the southeast direction, where no sharpshooters fired. And there is no shadow of the activities of the Eighth Route Army, which should be a good breakthrough. Moreover, there is a large mass grave in the southeast, where the terrain is complex, and it should be possible to hold out for a while.

The estuary immediately gave the order, and the devil jumped up and rushed in a southeasterly direction. Without encountering any obstacles, more than half of the estuary brigade broke out of the encirclement. Just as the estuary was complacent about his wise decision, gunshots rang out.

The Eighth Route Army, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly attacked and cut off his team from the middle, and more than 200 people were separated by the Eighth Route Army on the other side.

The captain of the estuary saw that his team was separated, and if he led his team back to rescue, he might be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army again. The ranks of the Eighth Route Army are mixed with these sharpshooters, and it may be difficult for their own brigade to achieve good results.

Kawaguchi glanced at the more than 200 devils who were separated, and thought to himself, I can't take care of you anymore, you should be loyal to the emperor. Then he ordered the devils to shoot and quickly flee to the southeast.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not come to catch up.

Separated by the Eighth Route Army was a squadron, and as soon as the squadron leader saw that his team fell within the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, he ordered light and heavy weapons to open fire at the same time and attack in a southeastern direction.

But as soon as several machine guns fired, the machine gunner was killed. As soon as the small steel cannon was put down, and before even a single cannon could be fired, the gunners were killed one by one.

However, a few machine guns of the Eighth Route Army, "da-da" kept shouting, and the devils fell in pieces.

The devils hurriedly lay down. But it's useless to lie down, the terrain here is flat, and finding a hidden place is also hidden in front and exposed in the back.

Although lying on the ground is a little difficult to fight, for the Lang team and the Zhuqing team, this difficulty is nothing. If the devil lies on the ground and wants to raise his head to shoot, then he will hit the devil in the head.

The squadron leader ordered the devil to rush to the other side, but the machine guns and small steel cannons still couldn't go off, and hundreds of rifles and several machine guns around them fired, and the small steel cannons also rang out. The cannonballs exploded, and the devils flew with blood.

The squadron leader also had half of his head blown out by the shell. There were dozens of devil soldiers left, dropped their guns, and stood up with their hands held high.

Wang Dabiao shouted: "Fight! "All the weapons fired in a volley, and none of the devils were left and all fell.

Zhiyuan shouted: "Don't abuse the prisoners!" ”

Wang Dabiao said: "Report to the battalion commander, we have not captured any prisoners."

Zhiyuan said: "If you don't catch a prisoner, forget it." All listen to the order, aim for the southeast direction, pursue the devil, and run forward! ”

The fighters jumped up, guns in hand, and shouted "Rush!" "Rush in the direction of the mass grave to the southeast.

The estuary took more than 400 devils and rushed all the way towards the mass grave. His plan was to occupy this mass grave, leave a small team, block the attack of the Eighth Road, and the rest of the troops, and quickly evacuate.

But when they were still a hundred meters away from the mass grave, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the mass grave, and several machine guns and small steel cannons also rang out.

At about the same time, in the place where the siege had just broken through, hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops rushed towards this side with shouts.

Kawaguchi sighed deeply: "It's over! Annihilation! ”
