Zhang Lei and his entourage rowed three boats, carrying all the supplies in the night, left Zhoucun and started a long-distance transfer operation.

Zhang Lei and Lynch sat side by side on the bow of the boat, and Xiaohua snuggled up to Zhang Lei's feet.

Xiaohua is also a beautiful and smart girl, when Hu Taohua is there, she definitely doesn't dare to get so close to Zhang Lei, Hu Taohua is not there, she has no brains.

Xiaohua knows very well that Zhang Lei is a good man in this team, and he has a bright future, and he will soon become a general. She no longer dared to dream of marrying Zhang Lei, she decided to be Zhang Lei's aunt's wife. If Mrs. Aunt can't do it, she will be Zhang Lei's maid. As long as you follow Zhang Lei and eat fragrant and drink spicy food, she will definitely not be missing. There are very, very many jewels on the ship, which makes Zhang Lei happy, and Zhang Lei may reward her with jewelry!

For Xiaohua, she doesn't care what nationality or country! Whoever is good to her is her own mother, and she is willing to do everything for those who are good to her.

Zhang Lei is full of sympathy for Xiaohua, and in the past, he wanted to find an opportunity to send her to the New Fourth Army so that she could have a bright future.

Now Xiaohua is following Zhang Lei as a orderly, and Zhang Lei is very satisfied with her work, and she is a little reluctant to send her away.

As for Lynch, Zhang Lei never regarded him as a subordinate, but as a brother.

Zhang Lei knew that Lynch's skills were extremely high, and he was also a filial son.

Lynch has also become an orphan, and his will to kill the Japanese devil is extremely strong.

Lynch is a good friend and helper given to Zhang Lei by God.

Zhang Lei asked Lynch in a whisper: "Do you regret doing it with me?" ”

Lynch shook his head and said, "In a word, happy!" ”

Zhang Lei and Lynch looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Lei said, "Brother! The boundary of Suzhou is relatively simple, and the boundary of Zhenjiang in Changzhou is intertwined with various forces, and it is too complicated to act. We can only regard the Japanese devils and puppet armies as enemies, and other forces must be friends. ”

Lynch smiled and said: "I don't care about foreign affairs, I listen to you anyway, I will do whatever you tell me to do?" ”

Zhang Lei patted Lynch on the shoulder and smiled: "Who's listening." ”

After dawn, the boat continued to sail forward.

Wang Yueying came over and said: "A telegram from Suzhou Station said that there is an unknown river on our road to the border, and the Japanese puppet army has five gunboats, and an unknown number of Japanese puppet troops are sweeping along the river, and their goal is to break the army Liu Changhou's regiment. ”

Zhang Lei was shocked and asked, "How far is it from that river?" Where is the river going? ”

Wang Yueying said: "There are still more than ten miles of road, and the river is often familiar with the Yangtze River, and it is estimated that the Japanese puppet army was sent from the direction of Changshu." ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Whoever stands in our way, we will destroy him." Immediately notify Zheng Jinchi to come over. ”

Zheng Jinchi's boat rowed over, and Zhang Lei said to Zheng Jinchi: "Your team immediately went ashore and reconnoitred for me to find out the situation of the Japanese puppet army in the nameless river ten miles ahead, and we will arrive later." ”

After Zheng Jinchi said yes loudly, he docked the boat and ran forward with the team.

After Zhang Lei watched Zheng Jinchi and the others run away, he ordered all the ships to dock, and Zhang Lei called a meeting with everyone.

Zhang Lei said: "Liu Changhou's regiment participated in the Songhu War of Resistance, and the regiment must have lost its way when retreating, retreated to the Yangtze River, was blocked by the Yangtze River, and failed to withdraw to the direction of Anhui and Zhejiang. Now they are like motherless children, living alone behind enemy lines. The main target of the Japanese puppet sweep should still be to incorporate him, and Liu Changhou's station has just turned to the direction of our advance. After consideration, I decided to blow up the enemy gunboat and force the Japanese puppet army to retreat, so as to save Liu Changhou's life. ”

The crowd said in unison, "We listen to you." ”

Zhang Lei said: "Since everyone unanimously approved, we will discuss the specific action plan. ”

Everyone said yes in unison.

After Zhang Lei explained the specific battle plan to them, he asked everyone to carry weapons and ammunition and walk close to the five-mile road to the ambush site.

After hiding the explosives bag and grenades, Zhang Lei led everyone to retreat for a kilometer, hiding under the embankment of a small river, and Zhang Lei and Lynch observed with binoculars.

At about nine o'clock, the sound of the gunboat's engine was heard in the distance.

Everyone's nerves were on high tension.

At about half past nine, the Japanese puppet army went ashore and formed a team. The firepower was very strong, with five mortars, two heavy machine guns, several light machine guns.

The puppet army was in front, and the Japanese army was behind, moving in one direction.

There was a squad of puppet soldiers and a squad of Japanese soldiers standing guard on the shore.

At around eleven o'clock, Zhang Lei ordered that it be executed as planned.

The four squads slowly crawled towards the Japanese puppet army standing guard from four directions, and when they were only a few dozen meters away from the Japanese puppet army, the submachine guns remembered that all the Japanese puppet troops in less than two squads were killed in less than a minute.

The gunboat retreated, trying to turn around and escape.

Grenades rained down, and in the loud explosion, all the Japanese on the gunboat were killed.

Zhang Lei ordered to swim into the water and swim on the gunboat to place explosives packs, and other personnel were on guard to prevent the return of the sweeping Japanese army.

The members of the Einsatzgruppen all grew up in water towns, and although the river is deep and fast, it is not difficult for them.

Two people climbed into each gunboat, two explosive packs were installed at each of the engines, and they quickly evacuated after ignition.

The desperate Liu Changhou regiment has been surrounded by the Japanese puppet army, and as soon as the mortar is fired, Liu Changhou is ready to surrender.

There is a loyal and righteous national salvation army in Jiangyin, and the captain is named Li Jixian, who is a disciple of Du Gong, the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang. When he was in Shanghai, he worked hard for Du Gong and made great contributions, and he had a long scar on the left side of his face, which was a military merit medal. At the end of the Battle of Songhu, Du Gong asked Li Jixian to lead a special task force to infiltrate the southern Jiangsu region, and later this special task force was also renamed the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, which was led by the Nanjing Corps. Li Jixian vigorously expanded his ranks, trying to develop his troops into columns and become independent from the headquarters.

In the previous stage, Li Jixian aimed at Liu Changhou in a vain attempt to co-opt Liu Changhou.

Liu Changhou brought a few people into Liu Changhou's regiment headquarters to negotiate with Liu Changhou.

Li Jixian's condition was that if Li Jixian's troops were upgraded to a column, Liu Changhou would be the captain, and Liu Changhou felt that it was okay and readily agreed.

Zhang Changhou left Li Jixian to live in the regiment headquarters and set up a banquet to invite Li Jixian to drink.

Everything seemed to be going extremely well, Li Jixian couldn't help but get carried away, drank wine by glass, and got drunk unconsciously.

Li Jixian went out to go to the toilet, thinking that he could do anything wrong in his own army station, and when he saw a woman, he pounced.

It's really a dog can't change eating! When Li Jixian was in Shanghai, he was almost cut down by Du Gong because of a daughter of the same family. At that time, the Battle of Songhu was about to take place, and Li Jixian cried and shouted, let him make meritorious service and let him die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

Li Jixian was not ambiguous in the battle, and behaved extremely bravely and fearlessly, so Du Gong made him the captain of a special task force and led the team to advance behind enemy lines in southern Jiangsu.

Li Jixian knocked down any other woman, Zhang Changhou might have endured it, but Li Jixian knocked down not an ordinary woman, but Zhang Changhou's knotted wife brought out from Sichuan.

All the people brought by Li Jixian were killed by Zhang Changhou's guards, and Li Jixian was tied up and locked up in a black room.

This happened ten days ago, and Liu Changhou blocked the news of Li Jixian's detention.

Liu Changhou had the idea of surrendering to Japan as a puppet army.

Suddenly, there were explosions in the distance, and the Japanese puppet army immediately judged that the gunboat was attacked, and quickly gave up the encirclement and ran to reinforcements, but when they returned to the gunboat mooring, where were the gunboats?

All the Japanese puppet soldiers were dumbfounded.

The Japanese commander was furious, brandished his command knife, and slashed into the air.

Who is the enemy? Could it be that Liu Changhou adopted the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao? No way! Liu Changhou doesn't have the strength and courage, so who will it be?

The Japanese commander was frightened and ordered the puppet army to quickly retreat to Changshu.

Dozens of miles away! There is no direct passage road, and the rivers are criss-crossing everywhere, so how easy is it to withdraw to Changshu? But he didn't even know who the enemy was, and the Japanese commander dared to stay for a long time, and his greatest fear was that he would be surrounded and wiped out like a gunboat. No matter how difficult it is, escape back to Changshu! It's hard to walk and hard to walk, it's better than being wiped out by all, right?

As soon as the Japanese puppet army withdrew, Liu Changhou breathed a long sigh of relief, but he also looked very dazed. He was like a fly with his head pinched, and he didn't know where the road was going. Crossing the river to the north, the river is controlled by the Chaotian King. Retreat to the north, there are Li Jixian's troops in the north, retreat to the south, Changshu in the south, and the Japanese puppet have heavy troops. There is no need to dream to the west, and the direction of Su Xichang is the key garrison of the Japanese pseudo-state.

In the evening, an officer came in to report and said, "Einsatzgruppen Zhang Lei asks to see you!" ”

When Liu Changhou heard the words of the special task force, he couldn't help but tremble, Li Jixian was a special task force in the past, could it be that Li Jixian's people came over and asked him for Li Jixian? What to do? What to do?
