The devils in charge of the broken rear were attacked by the first and fourth companies from the mountains and forests on both sides, and all of a sudden, dense gunfire and grenade explosions sounded around them, and one devil after another was hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming.

In less than a minute, there were only about 60 people left in the two squads, and when these devils found out that something was wrong, they immediately pounced under the rocks on both sides of the avenue, and then held their guns and desperately shot at the Eighth Route Army in the mountains and forests.

It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army has the advantage of geographical advantages, and when it was found that the devils were hiding on both sides of the road, and began to shoot back, the grenades and grenades were immediately thrown like raindrops on the road, and all of a sudden, there were explosions everywhere in the valley, and countless devils were unfortunately hit by the shrapnel raised by the explosion.

Seeing that the devils on the road were shrouded by the explosion of the grenade, Yang Donghu shouted to his comrades to rush, immediately waved his pistol, jumped out of the mountain forest, and quickly rushed towards the road in the valley with his troops.

The devil was blocked by the smoke of the explosion, and he couldn't see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army at all, so he could only shoot indiscriminately in both directions.

When the smoke cleared, those Eighth Route Army had rushed to the avenue with their guns in hand, and these surviving devils had no time to reload at this time, so they shouted and met them fearlessly with their bayonet rifles.

It's a pity that at this time, it was the platoon commanders who were holding shell guns or Wang Ba boxes, they saw the devils trying to fight hard with their rifles, but they just smiled contemptuously, and the short guns in their hands immediately rang out, knocking down the few devils who rushed in front.

When the bullets in the pistol were empty, his figure immediately flashed, and several soldiers holding rifles were revealed behind him, and with another burst of gunfire, those devils who tried to use the spirit of bushido to duel with the Eighth Route Army were sent back to their hometowns one after another.

In a white-knuckle battle with the devil, if conditions permit, the short gun equipped by the platoon commander is used to shoot first, and the rest of the fighters use this time to reload the rifle, and wait for the short gun in front to empty the bullets, and the soldiers behind quickly take over, so that the alternating time can be advantageous to shoot the devil.

According to Liu Tianshu, there are only two situations in which the independent battalion will engage in a brutal white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army: one is that the independent battalion runs out of bullets and has to fight, and the other is that the situation is critical and it is too late to reload its own guns.

When these devils saw that they were about to fight the assassination, they thought that the independent battalion would fight with them in a dignified manner, and they never thought that the opponent had no bushido spirit at all.

These devils can only curse cowards before they die, and then go to see Asunasu with hatred.

Seeing that none of the devils in the valley were alive, Yang Donghu immediately ordered a company to reinforce a platoon in the valley, and the fourth company and the troops killed from behind quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and then retreated.

When Yang Donghu rushed to the valley with a company, a company and a platoon were in the midst of a bloody battle with the Japanese army, a platoon of soldiers, less than ten people could fight, these soldiers were ready to fight desperately with the devils at this time, who knew that at this time the main force arrived, and suddenly the spirit was greatly lifted, and they all held guns and fired at the devils who attacked the valley mouth with their lives.

Oda saw that the third squadron was blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and the two sides fought bloody battles in Taniguchi, and ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the gunfire in Tanichi slowly stopped, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and ordered the artillery to launch a fierce attack on the position of Taniguchi's Eighth Route Army, and at the same time ordered Okamura Saburo to withdraw.

Hearing the devil's shells flying towards the valley mouth, and some even flew into the valley, Yang Donghu saw that the devils began to retreat, and immediately ordered a company to quickly retreat.

Now that the purpose of this battle has been achieved, Yang Donghu will naturally not be greedy for more, anyway, at this time, the valley has finished cleaning the battlefield, and a platoon has completed the task of blocking.

After Oda used artillery fire to bombard Taniguchi again for a while, he saw that Taniguchi no longer had bullets from the Eighth Route Army flying out, so Okamura Saburo sent a team to cautiously rush towards Taniguchi.

After the battle of Jinshuigou, Xiao Tian gradually understood the tricks of the Eighth Route Army, under normal circumstances, after a successful blow, he would immediately retreat, and his two squads were lost in the valley in front, and he had to bring back the bodies of these dead officers and soldiers no matter what.

And judging from the battle of Jinshuigou, the general situation of the Eighth Route Army will not prevent the imperial army from collecting the corpses of the fallen officers and soldiers.

It was also because of this that Oda Tashiro's troops never vented their anger on the corpses of the Eighth Route Army that had been killed.

After confirming the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, Okamura Saburo's unit finally returned to the valley smoothly, and saw more than 90 imperial soldiers lying neatly on the road in the valley, with all the weapons and ammunition on their bodies, and they couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts.

The bodies of these fallen soldiers were neatly arranged like a golden water ditch.

Thinking of his opponent, in just twenty minutes, nearly a hundred imperial soldiers were killed, Okamura Saburo looked gloomy.

When Oda learned that the soldiers of the two squads were really broken, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, and he ordered Saburo Okamura to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers and then retreat to Pingyuan Town.

Fortunately, the troops withdrew to Pingyuan Town and were not attacked by the Eighth Route Army again.

When meeting with Saito Shosa, Oda Takiro was full of shame.

He had a full brigade and the Imperial Association Regiment named after Zhang, and swept north from Pingyuan Town, although he also hit Yaping Village, the center of the Eighth Route Army in Fuya Mountain, but these Eighth Route Armies were as slippery as oil, and they couldn't annihilate much at all, but lost almost two infantry squadrons, and also lost all the Imperial Association Army named after Zhang.

Thinking of this, Oda Tashiro's heart dripped.

Fortunately, Saito was no better, he set out from the Maotang stronghold and successfully captured Songkan Town all the way, but those activists of the Eighth Route Army and the Communist Party had already disappeared. When he received the order and led his troops to pursue westward, he was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in Xintianzui, and a transport squadron was completely lost.

It can be said that in this sweep, in addition to the loss of a baggage squadron and a large amount of supplies, the Saito brigade also lost an infantry squad and a company of the Imperial Army, but the result was that everything was back to the past.

Watanabe learned that his two armies swam around Liu Tianshu's base, and not only did not catch the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but instead lost five or six hundred imperial soldiers, and he was so angry that he sat on his chair.

At this time, he had to admit that the sweep he thought he was sure of this time ended in complete failure again.

When the brigade commander learned that Watanabe's sweep had failed again, he scolded him on the phone, telling Watanabe to temporarily impose a tight blockade on the base area and at the same time ensure the safety of the railway transportation line.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army in Fuya Mountain, the Shandong Railway is naturally much more important.

Knowing that the devil had strengthened the defense force of Pingyuan Town, its main force had withdrawn to the county seat, Liu Tianshu left Liu Sutang's fifth company in Songkan Town, and returned to Yaping Village with a machine gun company and a large number of supplies.

At the same time, Yang Donghu and Zhu Aiguo also returned to the base area with their troops.

When Wang Shuihe learned that all the devils who swept the base area had withdrawn, he immediately happily walked out of the mountains with the people of the county party committee and the county government.

Those who returned to the villages in the base area at the same time as them were also the people who had retreated to the mountains.

Seeing Liu Tianshu, Wang Shuihe's face still showed a smile: "Battalion Commander Liu, thanks to you rushing back in time, otherwise, the little devil won't know when he will be able to smash this sweep." ”

"Secretary Wang, look at what you said, with the correct leadership of you and the county party committee, even if I can't rush back, the devil's conspiracy will not succeed." Liu Tianshu said modestly.

Although Xiang Shuyu and Tang Shui hid in the mountains with the common people during this time, they still knew a lot about the series of battles that took place in the independent battalion. They didn't expect that the independent battalion would not only smash the devils' conspiracy to sweep the base areas, but also eliminate so many devils and seize so many supplies.

Looking at Liu Tianshu, the two of them had a heartfelt admiration in their hearts.

Subsequently, Xiang Shuyu immediately led the villagers to rebuild their homes, and the militia of each village also returned to their respective villages after transferring some of the backbone to supplement the main company commander.

After all this, Liu Tianshu and Zhu Aiguo came to the 6th and 7th companies, and these two companies still pulled up to participate in the attack on the devils in the battle of pursuing Oda Tashiro's department, and many of them showed great bravery.

Seeing that the soldiers of the two companies were concentrated on the playground, Liu Tianshu exchanged glances with Zhu Aiguo, and then strode forward.

"Comrades, we were able to successfully smash the devils' sweep of the base area this time, and the Sixth and Seventh Companies were indispensable. I know that you have done things that are sorry for the motherland and the people in the past, but you have proved yourself with your actions, and you are worthy of the title of Chinese. I remember that two days ago, I said that after we smashed the sweep of the devils, among you who are willing to stay and fight with us, I, Liu Tianshu, welcome you, you will be my comrades, my comrades-in-arms, and my brothers in the future. If anyone can't bear the hardships of our Eighth Route Army and doesn't want to stay, as long as they don't go to be traitors and stop helping the little devils to harm the villagers, we will send them fare. Now it's time for us to fulfill our promises, and if you are willing to stay, go to your company commander to register, and if you are not willing to stay, register with the instructor, and we will open a road to send you out of the base area. ”

After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, the soldiers of the sixth and seventh companies were silent.

Subsequently, more than 50 of the original Imperial Association troops went to Zhu Aiguo's office to register, and after promising not to work for the devil again, they took a piece of the ocean and left the base area with a road strip.

In addition to seizing a large amount of ammunition and materials, the independent battalion also seized more than 5,000 oceans, and in accordance with the opinions of Liu Tianshu and Zhu Aiguo, it was decided to issue a living allowance to all the officers and men of the Eighth Route and the militia in the base area, and to pay a pension of 10 yuan per person to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and to pay a living allowance of 3 yuan to the wounded in addition to timely medical treatment. Those who are disabled by their injuries are treated according to the standards of sacrificed soldiers.

The county party committee and the people of the county government are treated equally.

His plan was opposed by Wang Shuihe, but because Liu Tianshu was very resolute, he only retained his personal opinion and did not veto it in the name of the organization. (To be continued.) )
