"Brothers, the troops of the Eighth Route Army have been withdrawn, the Japanese troops have also been withdrawn, this Hequ County is an ownerless city, and rush to the county seat, the ladies sleep casually, and rob the property at will, these landlords like to hide in the county, and the landlords have a lot of property and beautiful little girls."

A big man with a full beard was riding on a war horse, and he looked inside the county town with a pair of German binoculars, and the big man immediately shouted.

With the words of this big man, the bandits holding different types of weapons such as Hanyang-made, Zhongzheng, 38-style, Liao-13, Mauser rifles and so on began to cheer.

The bandits quickly marched towards the county seat of Hequ County, and these bandits shouted loudly, their faces full of excitement.

They know very well that as long as they enter the county seat, they can slaughter at will, burn at will, and enjoy at will.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army were gone, and the Japanese troops were gone, and the bandits felt that they would not be hindered in any way.

However, these bandits would not have expected that there were defenders in the county at this time.

The troops stationed in Hequ County are the first and fourth companies of the special service battalion, and the battalion commander Wang Tieniu is personally stationed in Hequ County.

More than a dozen landlords heard the shouts of bandits outside the county seat, their faces turned pale with fright, and their eyes looked towards Wang Tieniu from time to time.

Especially when they heard the report that there were five or six hundred bandits, these landlords showed undisguised fear on their faces.

"Boss, there are only more than 200 people in your army, can you do it?" A landlord said in a trembling tone.

"To deal with these bandits, I can deal with them with one platoon." Wang Tieniu said disdainfully.

Wang Tieniu was wounded in the battle in Baode County, and he also made mistakes, but the capture of Baode County Wang Tieniu was meritorious after all, and Fu Tao, who was called "good old man" in the New Second Brigade, requested Wang Tieniu, this time Sun Weiguo promoted Wang Tieniu to the position of commander of the special service battalion.

Fu Tao's popularity in the new Second Brigade is very good, no matter who he is, he will say a good word when he mentions Fu Tao, which is why Sun Weiguo arranged for him to be the head of the first reserve regiment.

Although he was almost demoted by Sun Weiguo, Wang Tieniu did not change his irascible temper.

Hearing the clamor of the bandits, Wang Tieniu walked directly to the city wall, and he looked at the bandits with a telescope.

On the city wall, the ten heavy machine guns of the fourth company had been erected, and the shooters pricked up their ears and waited for Wang Tieniu's order.

"The bandits below listen to me, I am Wang Tieniu, the commander of the special service battalion directly under the second brigade of the Eighth Route Army, now the national crisis is at the head, and the guns are unanimous, you bandits are also meeting a good time, now I will give you a chance, lay down your arms and surrender, and join our anti-Japanese troops, we can not blame you for your affairs before, if not, don't blame me for being unkind."

Wang Tieniu put down the binoculars, he picked up the tin horn, and began to shout at the bandits.

A unit will have a very profound character of the military commander, Sun Weiguo has always said nothing about fighting devils, but for the puppet army bandits, Sun Weiguo can not shoot without shooting, after all, it is now a national crisis, and all armed forces can be united together to resist the war.

Under the influence of Sun Weiguo, for these bandits, Wang Tieniu did not shoot directly, but shouted first.

"Damn, who are you scaring about, Lao Tzu saw the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army with his own eyes. Call me! The big man scolded.

One bullet after another hit Wang Tieniu, one of the bullets cut through Wang Tieniu's cheek, and bright red blood flowed down Wang Tieniu's cheek.

"Call me." Wang Tieniu said angrily.

When the landlords in the county heard the gunshots, they were all frightened, and many people felt that these Eighth Route Army might not be the opponents of the bandits.

It's just that as Wang Tieniu's order began to be issued, a heavy machine gun began to shoot, five Makqin heavy machine guns, and five Type 92 heavy machine guns began to strafe, and the bullets poured towards the bandits like rain, and the bandits who wanted to quickly enter the county fell to the ground one after another.

The first company of the special service battalion began to attack quickly under the command of the company commander Liu Ke, more than 100 soldiers went out of the city to fight, and the bandits who were scattered by heavy machine gun bullets had no morale, and when Liu Ke took the first company to attack, these bandits fled in all directions, but they could not avoid the attack of the soldiers.

More than 500 bandits were quickly annihilated, and more than 100 were captured alive.

After interrogation, after learning about the bandits' lair, Liu Ke continued to fight with the first company, directly eliminated the bandits' lair, and seized a large amount of ammunition and treasures.

For three consecutive days, bandits in several counties in the northwest of Shanxi Province were dealt devastating blows one after another.

Under the command of Qin Xianliang, the two battalions of the spy battalion and the first battalion continued to attack, and bandits with different numbers were annihilated one after another.

This battle against the bandits won the favor of the people in the northwest of Shanxi, and many landlords expressed their willingness to take the initiative to take care of the seriously wounded, and many young people wanted to join the army.

On April 1, 1938, the Special Service Battalion and the First Battalion ended their mission of suppressing bandits in the northwest of Shanxi, and they went to Mengxian County under the leadership of Qin Xianliang to meet the main force of the New Second Brigade.

At this time, the troops of the New Second Brigade had arrived in Meng County, and all departments had also hidden, waiting for the orders of Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng.

At present, the Japanese army has undergone great changes in garrisoning, the 20th Division originally stationed in Pingding County and Yangquan County has been transferred to the southern part of Shanxi and the Yellow River to serve as a garrison, the 109th Division is still serving as a garrison near Taiyuan, and the garrison in Pingding County and Yangquan County is held by the 108th Division.

The Mengxian garrison is an infantry brigade of the 108th Division, and this infantry brigade is scattered and stationed all over the county.

With the arrival of the new Second Brigade, this infantry brigade was seriously threatened, and the Japanese troops were now all cowering in their strongholds, and they did not dare to appear rashly.

In order to conceal themselves, the troops of the new Second Brigade did not attack them, and as for the traitors stationed in various villages, they did not even dare to come out.

"Brigade commander, I have already met with Commander Zhong Jian, at present, the main force of the Independent Regiment of Pingding County is scattered, Commander Zhong Jian asked about our location, but I didn't dare to say it, I can see that Commander Zhong Jian really wants to meet you."

In a small village in Meng County, Chen Zhengwei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, came to the brigade headquarters and reported to Sun Weiguo.

After the troops arrived in Meng County, Sun Weiguo immediately sent Chen Zhengwei to Pingding County to find the independent regiment.

It has been three months since Sun Weiguo broke through with his troops, and Sun Weiguo really wanted to know about the situation of the independent regiment.
