When the news came, it was already the next morning.

By that time the fighters had long since woken up, moved their bodies on the battlefield, ate and drank. Zhiyuan and Hong Feng gathered their own team. Wait for the command.

Inside the tent, the monkey and Zhuqing worked again to replenish Xiao Xiao's qi and heal his wounds. Someone brought it to eat. The three of them finished their work and ate and drank water with Fan Jiang.

At this time, Zhiyuan hurriedly came over with two reconnaissance fighters who were out.

Zhiyuan said: "You report directly to the chief. ”

The two fighters reported that they had been ordered to go out to reconnoitre, and that they had encountered a major battle in the course of a major battle at Dapudang, ten miles from here.

Fan Jiang said: "Do you know who is fighting with whom? ”

One of the fighters said: "Of course, one side is a devil, it seems that there are more than a thousand people, and it should be the appearance of a brigade." On the other side was the Eighth Route Army. I asked a wounded comrade, and they said it was the guard battalion of the military district. ”

Another soldier said: "There is another unit of the Eighth Route Army, which is the Xianghu Brigade, and the leader is a twenty-one or twelve-year-old young man named Hua-"

The monkey said, "It's called Huayang!" ”

"Yes, it's called Huayang."

Fan Jiang said: "Tell me about the fighting. ”

The soldier said: "The situation is critical, our two troops combined, six hundred people, more than a third less than the strength of the devils, they are surrounded by the devils in a depression, and the casualties are very large. It was a tough fight. We couldn't help, so we immediately ran back to report the situation. ”

The monkey said, "Oh no, the Xianghu Brigade and Battalion Commander Pan are in danger. ”

Fan Jiang said: "In this way, the situation is very critical. If there are no reinforcements. The guard battalion and the Xianghu brigade are about to be wiped out by the devils. Lang Squad and Zhuqing Squadron, you all have kung fu and good marksmanship. Order you to run forward and quickly reinforce the guard battalion and the Xianghu brigade! ”

The monk and Ma Xiao said, "Yes! ”

The monkey said: "Chief, Xiao Xiao's body has not recovered yet, you can't have no one by your side, and Zhu Qing and I will stay to protect you." ”

Fan Jiang said: "No, Xiao Xiao and I are very safe with Zhiyuan and Hong Feng, and you go with the Lang team to reinforce it." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Little sister Xiaoxiao, you and Minister Fan must stay away from the battlefield, although your skills have recovered to seventy percent, they are not yet consolidated, and you must not fight until you have to." ”

Zhiyuan said: "Go ahead, we will take care to protect the chief." The monk and Ma Xiao gave a military salute to Fan Jiang, led the team, and disappeared at the end of the wasteland in a blink of an eye.

Zhiyuan and Hong Feng took the team, as well as more than a hundred militia guerrillas, protecting Fan Jiang Xiaoxiao, marching all the way and rushing towards Dapudang.

Dapudang was originally a vein of Shuoxiang Lake, but later the lake retreated, leaving a wetland here. There are calamus growing everywhere here, and there are no people for more than ten or twenty miles, so people call this place Dapudang.

Hua Yang, the head of Xianghu District and the captain of the Xianghu Brigade, received the order to reinforce the Lang squad that attacked the 328th Army Column, so he mobilized all the people and rushed to the direction of Wuhe Town at night.

I met the devil Haneda brigade in the south of Okataka. The battle began before dawn.

The Xianghu Brigade was the first to find that there were troops in front of them, at that time, it was not yet dawn, and they couldn't figure out how many devils there were, Huayang decided to reconnoiter by fire, and first give the devils a dismount, and if they can't fight, they will fight, and if they can't, they will withdraw.

They lay in ambush on the edge of a depression, and when the devil approached, Huayang shouted "Fight!" "Light and heavy weapons opened fire together, and the devil was walking in front of a small team, and suddenly encountered an attack by more than 300 people, and he was caught off guard, and he didn't even have time to lie down. and all of them were destroyed.

This was the first time that the Xianghu Brigade participated in a major battle since its establishment, and it won such a victory with a shot, and everyone's enthusiasm for fighting was high.

Suddenly, two miles away, a dense gunfire rang out, and Boss Wei said to Huayang: "Captain, the devil's strength is several times that of ours, withdraw quickly!" ”

In the hazy dawn, I saw a large area of black pressure on the wilderness two miles away, and they rushed over while shooting.

Huayang shouted: "Brothers, retreat north!" ”

More than 300 people jumped up and ran quickly north. But after running a short distance, you enter the wetland, where the water network is dense and covered with calamus, and the retreat slows down.

And the devil was approaching, Huayang ordered Boss Wei to lead a squadron to block the devil and cover the retreat of the other two squadrons.

The terrain of Dapudang is complex, the land and water surface account for almost half, and it is covered with calamus, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Boss Wei's team grew to more than 100 people. During the battle to recapture Sanxing Island and Wujiaji, a large amount of equipment was captured. They are one-color three-eight big covers, machine guns, small steel cannons and other heavy weapons are also fully equipped.

Their military instructors, Wang Peng and Wang You, are themselves at the level of special forces. After their almost rigorous training, the team's military quality has improved rapidly, although it does not have the combat effectiveness of the Zhuqing squad, but it is much stronger than the devil's field troops.

They entered the wetland before the devils, seized the favorable terrain, and waited for the devils to arrive, and a surprise attack, killing and wounding dozens of people.

Although there are many devils, in the wetland, the team cannot be deployed, forming a crowd, just shooting.

The devil suffered another big loss and had to go back. Re-select a lean squadron and go on the offensive.

But the situation is still not good for the devils. The team members have good marksmanship and good mental quality, and they do not panic in the face of strong enemies. Lying in a hidden place, he didn't hurry and aimed at one shot at a time.

The team members lay still on their stomachs, and there were iris to block their vision. The devil in the attack, the target is exposed. The devil can't hit the players, and the players can easily hit the devil.

The machine gun and small steel cannon were specially aimed at the place where there were many devils.

In this way, the effect of killing enemies is very good. The devils were repulsed from two successive attacks, and most of the squadron was killed, so they had to flee from the wetlands in disarray, unable to organize an attack again.

Haneda, the captain of the devil brigade, was so angry that he yelled. It is a shame that a brigade of him should be planted in the hands of two or three hundred eight-way people.

Haneda is a true soldier who understands strategy and tactics. He knew that he was losing all his geographical advantages. In such wetlands, it is pure recklessness to punch and lunge.

Haneda quickly sent people to reconnoiter the terrain, knowing that this small wetland was only five or six miles away, which was suitable for a brigade to deploy.

Haneda ordered the team and quickly surrounded the entire wetland. Then push steadily inside. The attempt was to finally enclose the Eight Roads at a very small point and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This is a very powerful way of fighting, the Xianghu brigade, trapped in the wetland, can't walk and can't walk, and when it comes to fighting, the devil's strength is several times that of his own. What's worse is that two or three hundred people can't stop the devil from advancing at all.

In this way, the devil can also occupy favorable terrain and can also use calamus and wild grass to cover himself.

The favorable conditions for the Xianghu brigade disappeared.

The devil pushed forward slowly but inexorably. The players played tenaciously. The devils have to pay a price for every step forward, but the team members also have dozens of casualties. If reinforcements do not arrive in time, the final result is already clear.

The situation is critical!
