Chapter 2: The Devil Retreats

Although the independent brigade was to jump out of the pursuit of the devils, it did not relax its attention to the Miki United, which had been following behind them.

The Miki team was blocked by local heroes, and then the devils opened fire on the heroes on the mountain. As soon as this news reached Gao Quan's ears, he knew that the devil was in big trouble this time. What Gao Quan has always been worried about is that the bandits on Dabie Mountain have been bought by devils, in that case, it will be very difficult for his army to gain a foothold in this area. I didn't expect these devils to be very tough, and they directly took these local snakes to open the knife, now it's okay, the two sides have formed a life and death feud, plus the devils are not only outsiders, but also foreign goods in Zhongzong, if these mountain kings don't give them some problems, then they don't deserve to be the king of the mountain here.

The fact is as Gao Quan expected, after the devil killed a few bandits who came to negotiate, it immediately aroused the common hatred of all the bandits, and more than a dozen mountain thieves united to attack the devils.

The devil was sinned, and Gao Quan's heart was naturally happy. There is a way of blessing and misfortune. Since these devils have been unlucky, doing some things that fall into the well and rob while the fire is burning, adding some blockage to the hearts of the devils, and sprinkling salt on the wounds, is what Gao Quan is most willing to do. The reconnaissance company kept reporting the latest situation of the devil's pursuit to Gao Quan, knowing that the devil had already moved from the rear team to the front team and pulled back, whether he wanted to collect troops and retreat, or to chase the bandits, this opportunity to sneak attack and pick up cheap in the back, Gao Quan would definitely not miss it.

At the sound of the order, the independent brigade immediately turned around and descended along the mountain road. Since they were transferred to the Fifth Theater of Operations, these people of the Independent Brigade have been engaged in sneak attack operations, and they are all familiar with when to sneak attack, what means to use to sneak attack, and how to retreat after the battle. With a reconnaissance company leading the way, and the local forces on the mountain were busy playing hide and seek with the devils, the independent brigade was extremely smooth this time.

The Independent Brigade can be regarded as a regular army with an establishment, although most of the people in the army were not so innocent before joining the army, but after the baptism of war in the past few months, these people have quickly grown into real iron-blooded soldiers in the current era. From the panic when they first encountered the Nagase detachment, to the calmness when they attacked the devil's army now, the warriors have completed the transformation from an ignorant bandit to a real soldier, and they are now an army with good combat effectiveness.

Since the Independent Brigade is an army, it is naturally fundamentally different from ordinary bandits and bandits in terms of combat methods. When the heroes on the mountain attacked the devils, they all ran away with a shot, and when the situation was favorable, they rushed up and fought indiscriminately. And the current combat methods of the independent brigade are already a little like a regular army. Of course, this can only be completed under the guidance of Gao Quan, an excellent instructor, and if they are allowed to consciously complete this transformation by themselves, I am afraid that the personnel will have to be reduced by more than fifty percent.

First, use grenadiers and mortars to alert the Devil's Guard, and someone is coming behind to stop the Devil's Guard. Then light and heavy machine guns went into battle together and made a mess of the devil guard troops. Taking advantage of the fact that the devils behind were dizzy and had not yet completed the whole team, the soldiers rushed to the nearest place, and then gave the devils a shower of grenades, and the soldiers with good marksmanship in the front row put a few rows of guns together, and then the troops immediately withdrew.

The Miki Wing turned around and chased after the independent brigade behind, and the bandits came out from behind again, fired a few shots and ran away. After Miki was busy back and forth for a while, neither side fell well, not to mention that he did not catch the enemy, and added many casualties in vain. In the end, Miki Nakasa gritted his teeth and was ruthless, regardless of the harassment of the bandits, and went to chase the regular army in their minds. The bandits fired a few shots in the back, and when they saw that the devils ignored them, they immediately became bolder, and more and more black guns were fired, and finally it developed into hundreds of people screaming and chasing from behind.

Miki Taijun couldn't bear it anymore, so he let a brigade behind him turn around and kill back, and the hundreds of bandits behind scattered in a hurry, and the devil couldn't find anyone if he wanted to. Captain Miki was furious, set up the barracks on the spot, divided the troops into multiple units according to the squad, and began to search the mountains in a fan. The Bandit Alliance quickly suffered a loss. Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or the rationing of firepower, where are these heroes on the mountain who are the opponents of the devils, they have been killed by dozens of devils in a short period of time.

Of course, there are also capable people on the mountain, and when they saw the devils put up this iron net array, the bandits immediately retreated and never met the devils again. There are thousands of devils in a wing, but if they are scattered on the Dabie Mountain, which covers an area of hundreds of miles, it will not be enough to see. The devils didn't search far before they stopped, and it was dark when they stopped. After dark, these devils are more miserable. In the mountains, fighting against bandits and bandits who have lived here all their lives, this night, the devil is really hard enough. The sound of gunfire and screams from time to time, as well as all kinds of strange sounds, accompanied Miki Nakasa through a night that was by no means peaceful. By dawn, Nakasa counted the number of people, and this night, he lost most of the squadron!

Miki Nakasa was furious, and when he didn't know how to end this matter, several mortar shells fell on his group of soldiers, killing and injuring more than ten soldiers on the spot. It turned out that the independent brigade came to gather early. Miki realized what a dangerous situation he and his team were in right now. After a night of calmness, His Excellency Nakasa no longer hated the Independent Brigade as much as he did when he first set off, and he even silently thanked Gao Quan for these mortar shells in his heart, and it was these shells that made him understand his situation. The bandits and independent brigades in this mountain should indeed be exterminated, but they should not be suppressed by his wing, if you want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers here, you need at least an independent mixed brigade, and the strength of a wing is still too small.

Since he understands that his strength is limited, he will not be able to destroy the Independent Brigade at all, and of course Miki Nakasa will not continue to stay here. After sending a telegram to the division headquarters, Miki Nakasa of the pursuit detachment of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army decisively led the troops to retreat. Under the armed farewell of the independent brigade and many armed mountain people on the mountain, the Miki Wing withdrew from the mountain in disgrace. After traveling thousands of miles and losing more than two squadrons of soldiers, but nothing was gained, Miki Nakasa will get a ticket back to his home country and live his leisurely retirement.

After Gao Quan successfully got rid of the pursuers, the next step was the question of how to get mixed up in this mountainous area. Here is close to the boundary of Xinyang, Henan, the Dabie Mountains are called ** Gong Mountain here, there is a main peak in the mountain, from a distance, it is like a rooster that reports the dawn, and the name of the highest peak is called Baoxiao Peak.

Since ancient times, the people of Jigong Mountain have been fierce, especially now, the local people from all walks of life have demarcated the territory and autonomy, Gao Quan seems to have returned to the scene when he was in Yicheng, and now there is also a shortage of soldiers, and there are also surrounding cottages. Recalling the period of time in the lunar month last year, heroes from all walks of life were surging and coming from all directions, Gao Quan couldn't help but feel excited, and this mountainous area was his best source of soldiers.
