The gunfire of the battlefield was filled with gunfire, and the corpses of bandits were already strewn all over the riverbank, and the blood stained the riverbank red.

The bandits in the Black Wolf Village wanted to fight the idea of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, but they did not expect that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, but instead the corpses that were killed were scattered all over the place.

"Clean up the battlefield! A company sent a platoon downstream of the river to search for remnants. ”

Wang Dongming, deputy battalion commander, looked at the turbid waves of the river and quickly gave an order.

Except for some of the more than 200 bandits who jumped into the river and escaped, most of the rest were surrounded and annihilated on the river beach, which can be said to have caused a devastating blow.

Many of the bandits, who were stunned by the shells, woke up slowly, and immediately had four or five guns in their heads, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Soon, these bandits, who woke up in a stun during the battle and some of the wounded and did not die, all became Wang Dongming's prisoners, and the number of them reached more than twenty.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, what about these bandits?"

The commander of the first company trotted to the deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming to ask for instructions.

"The injured will be treated first, and those who are not injured will be detained first, as long as they have not done anything evil, they will be released after going back to education." Deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming thought about it and ordered.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, these are all bandits, we are doing this to let the tiger return to the mountain, it is better to ......" The company commander made a killing move.

What they hated most about the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War was these bandits, because when the country was in danger, instead of resisting Japan and saving the country, they dragged their feet.

They raided and looted the people, and from time to time attacked the convoys of the Chinese army, and so on.

"They are also Chinese, many of them are suffering people who can't survive, why should we kill them all, as long as they have the intention of repenting, then give them another chance to be yesterday's people, you must know that our main enemy is the little devil." Wang Dongming explained.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, I know."

After being educated, the first company commander also nodded, and immediately went to arrange for the treatment of the wounded.

Because the bridge above the river was blown up by the bandits, Wang Dongming and his team had to spend half a day erecting a pontoon bridge by the river, so that they could carry the food and supplies taken back from the bandits across the river and join Zhang Liechen and them.

However, as soon as they crossed the river, they got the bad news, that is, the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao, who they rescued, was killed by a bullet that pierced the lobe of his lung in the battle just now.

Although Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander of the brigade, was not very popular in the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, he was also one of the commanders.

But now the troops are on the way to transfer, and they may be caught up by the devil's pursuers at any time.

In the end, under the auspices of Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen, everyone held a simple burial ceremony for Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain of the deputy commander, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers who died in the battle, and buried them by the river in this foreign land.

Looking at the puff of dirt covering the dead deputy captain Yuan Guangtao and them, the deputy captain Zhang Liechen stood next to him with a particularly complicated mood.

Although he had quarreled with the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao many times, and even sometimes blushed and had a thick neck, and he also despised his idea of going to Nanjing, but he also fought side by side.

Now seeing that the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao did not die in the hands of the little devil, and seeing that the rescue was successful, but he suffered such an accident and died under the stray bullets of the bandits, his mood is also very sad.

In this difficult war against aggression, watching the lives disappear in front of him but unable to do anything, as a commander, Zhang Liechen has never felt so tired.

However, now that the Japanese are still wreaking havoc in the land of China, as one of the commanders of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, he cannot ignore those who follow him, he has to cheer up, lead the officers and soldiers and the people to continue to fight, and continue to fight to the end.

"Chief Zhang, what should he do if he wants to be a traitor and go to Nanjing?"

Du Jiang, an intelligence staff officer, didn't expect Yuan Guangtao to be killed, and now he had no idea for a while, so he asked Zhang Liechen for instructions.

"In such a bad environment, when everyone was confused for a while, now that everyone is dead, let's let him be buried in peace, what do you say?" After Zhang Liechen thought about it, he said to Du Jiang, an intelligence staff officer.

Although Du Jiang, an intelligence staff officer, felt that this was a bit of a cover-up, he finally nodded: "Chief Zhang, I will rot this matter in my stomach." ”

Zhang Liechen patted the shoulder of the intelligence staff officer Du Jiang and ordered: "Go back to give him a death notice at home, and send our corps pension by the way, I heard that he has a child at home, and now that he has no father, I am afraid that the future life of orphans and widows will not be easy." ”

"Yes!" Du Jiang hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Liechen and the others dealt with the bandits in the Black Wolf Village, and although the rescue failed in the end, they also did their best.

Officers from the Intelligence Service quickly interrogated some of the captured bandits and questioned them about the situation in the Lunan Mountains.

These captured bandits thought that they would definitely die, but they did not expect that instead of killing them, the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu treated their wounds, which moved them to death.

Therefore, when interrogated by the intelligence department, they can be said to have told what they knew like pouring beans.

Zhang Liechen and the others also learned about the various intricate distribution of forces in the Lunan Mountains and some other information through the mouths of these captured bandits.

At present, the vast plains on the periphery of the Lunan Mountains are full of flames, and the little devils and the Chinese army are fighting, and the battle is turned upside down.

And many refugees have fled into the mountainous areas of Lunan for refuge, bandits from all walks of life have also taken the opportunity to recruit troops, and now it can be said that the situation in the mountainous areas of Lunan is not better than Huaiyin, most of them are controlled by bandits.

"Now there are dozens of bandits in the mountainous areas alone, more than thousands, and as few as dozens of guns, we have so many people now, but most of them are logistics units and refugees, and the strength of the officers and soldiers we can fight is limited, so I suggest that we avoid places where there are many bandits."

After a comprehensive analysis of the situation in the mountainous area of Lunan, Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, gave some suggestions.

"But according to the intelligence, these large and small places are occupied by bandits, and unless we lean towards the control area of the theater command, there will be no place for us to stay."

"It's unrealistic for us to go to the theater headquarters now, we have to go over the mountains and mountains to go to the theater headquarters, many of our tens of thousands of people are old and weak, women and children, and we can't walk that far, besides, if we rush to the theater headquarters, once we are detected by the devils, and send bombers to bomb the district headquarters, we will be sinners."

"So where are we going?"

Everyone was sad, except for some places with poor mountains and bad waters, but all the better places were occupied by people.

"Let's go to Xiaoqingshan."

Looking at the people with sad faces, Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen pointed to a little-known place from the unfolded map.

"What is this place?"

Zhang Liechen explained: "This is the territory of the bandit Black Wolf Village that we just annihilated, according to intelligence, there are only dozens of people left in the village now, and we can take it down with our strength." ”

"There are more than ten villages in the control area of the Black Wolf Village, and our tens of thousands of evacuated people can be dispersed and temporarily settled, as long as we have a firm foothold, it will be easy to do......"
