Liu Tianshu ran towards the train with a gun, and suddenly saw dozens of heavily armed devils jumping out of the passenger car behind him, and the two who ran in front were holding crooked machine guns, and when they got off the train, they swept towards the soldiers of a company, and the few soldiers who rushed in front were knocked to the ground before they could react.

Suddenly, the offensive of the first company was blocked, but fortunately, Guo Donglai immediately waved his gun and led the soldiers to meet him, and the two sides immediately launched a confrontation of fire, and in a blink of an eye, the soldiers who rushed in front and the devils on the opposite side fell one after another.

Taking advantage of this effort, the light machine gunner who followed behind immediately set up a light machine gun and continued to shoot at the devil in front of the bus, and at the same time, the machine gun company saw that the situation was wrong, and the two heavy machine guns immediately fell past the muzzle, and with the dull sound sounded, the bullets swept like a sickle, and the devil on the side of the bus was beaten to blood.

Shu Zhi's mortar squad did not have much chance to play a role in this battle. Seeing that the devil not only arranged light and heavy machine guns on the flatbed truck, but also arranged the 92 infantry guns, the four company commanders and Xu Yongdong suddenly looked forward to capturing these good things, so Shu Zhi's mortars naturally avoided these good things, and their effects were naturally greatly reduced.

Fortunately, there were two snipers, the battalion commander and Shi Hu, who suppressed them remotely, and the devil's weapons did not work.

In fact, even if a few company commanders don't say it, Shu Zhi has made up his mind to avoid the flatbed wagon, it is two 92 infantry guns, if his artillery squad can have these two guns, it will not be an artillery squad, maybe the battalion commander will set up an artillery company.

You must know that even a brigade of devils is only equipped with two 70-mm 92 infantry guns as heavy firepower.

At this time, seeing a group of devils suddenly appearing in the bus, Shu Zhi would be polite, personally operated the mortar, two shells flew over, and landed on the door of the bus, with the explosion sounded, several devils who rushed to the door flew up, two bodies hit the carriage, and then slid softly to the ground.

Liu Tianshu saw that the infantry company, machine gun company and artillery squad cooperated tacitly, and the group of devils fell behind in a blink of an eye, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He ran to the side of the train, just in time to see Zhu Aiguo commanding the soldiers to open the door of the stuffy tank car, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but think of what happened to Ma Xuekui's department, and immediately ordered the surrounding soldiers to disperse, and at the same time make preparations for emergencies.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, after climbing into the stuffy tanker, did not open the door, but just stood at the link of the compartment to check whether the explosives were placed on the tanker.

No one can tell the viciousness of the little devil, once someone finds out that someone has hijacked the car, whether they will blow up the stuffy tanker, no one can say.

As the door of a stuffy tanker was opened by two soldiers, Liu Tianshu's eyes stared inside, and the shell gun in his hand was aimed at the door.

The light shone into the carriage, and what appeared in front of Liu Tianshu's eyes were Chinese in tattered military uniforms tied together by ropes, these Chinese were obviously undernourished, most of their faces were dish-colored, and only a pair of eyes were shining.

Seeing that it was indeed a captured Chinese soldier inside, Liu Tianshu only felt that his eyes were hot, and the gun in his hand was immediately put down.

Zhu Aiguo had already rushed to the door of the car at this time, looked at the stunned crowd inside and shouted excitedly: "Don't be afraid, everyone is the Eighth Route Army, we are here to save you, everyone is safe." ”

When those soldiers heard this, they immediately burst into tears, and some murmured: "We are saved, we are saved, it was the Eighth Route Army that saved us." ”

Under the command of Zhu Aiguo, the soldiers of the independent battalion jumped into the car to help the soldiers cut the ropes, and then after these soldiers were freed, they helped to participate in the rescue operation, and in less than five minutes, all the captured soldiers and captured laborers jumped off the train.

By this time, the battle in the back was over, and the fighters of the separate battalion were busy cleaning up the battlefield.

Seeing those soldiers wearing the uniforms of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, they couldn't help but hug the soldiers of the independent battalion and cry, Liu Tianshu was also infected, but he knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and the devils would soon chase after him.

"Comrades, **** brothers, folks, everyone listen to me, the devil is coming soon, we must leave here immediately, please come with us first." After saying that, he immediately ordered the first and second companies to go ahead, the rescued prisoners of war and laborers to walk in the middle, the machine gun company and mortar company to follow, the third and fourth companies to walk behind, and the fifth and sixth companies to be responsible for the broken rear cover.

Once the laborers were saved, they became a little confused, and some of them wanted to sneak away, but under the patient persuasion of the independent battalion, most of them still followed the independent battalion to leave here first.

As for those soldiers, after all, they have received military training, and they know that the devils will immediately carry out a large-scale search and arrest in this area, so they immediately cooperate with the independent battalion, help pick up the battle edge, and follow the independent battalion to the northeast.

Mason received an urgent telegram from the Japanese army in Jiping County, and learned that the military column using labor was actually ambushed by the Chinese at the site of the last ambush by Ma Xuekui's department, and his face could not help but change greatly.

"Fujiwara-kun, who did this?"

In his imagination, he could successfully hijack the train in half an hour and eat the three well-armed squadrons he was responsible for escorting, which must be the regular troops of the Chinese, and at least one division.

In the Chinese battlefield, a brigade of Japanese troops is enough to defeat a division of the Nationalist Government, and this time it is the Chinese attack, in that case, even if it is a division, it may not be able to eat.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the battle lasted only half an hour.

"Your Excellency, the cunning Chinese have blown up all the railways in that area, and when our troops rush over, only the corpses of the soldiers of the Manchi Empire remain, and Yokogawa Shosa is also loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Judging from the traces of firefighting on the battlefield, the Chinese who hijacked the car were particularly strong in combat, and they were also equipped with snipers, such as Yokokawa Major Zo, heavy machine gunners, artillerymen and squadron leaders, all of whom were killed by a single shot from a long-range attack. Fujiwara's expression was very ugly.

The troops who then rushed to reinforce it, several of them with rich combat experience, immediately restored the situation at that time as soon as they saw the traces of the battlefield.

"Which Chinese army around here will have such strong combat effectiveness?" Mason couldn't believe it.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, if your subordinates' estimation is correct, this matter should be done by the independent battalion of Fuya Mountain. Such a big thing can only be done by that cunning and despicable Liu Tianshu. Fujiwara, as the director of the investigation department of the Jinan Military Police Headquarters, naturally knew the situation in various parts of Shandong, and he immediately judged that Liu Tianshu had done it.

"Liu Tianshu, independent battalion." Mason pondered for a while, looked at Fujiwara and said: "Fujiwara-kun, immediately contact the Air Force and send a reconnaissance plane to search for the whereabouts of this group of Chinese, and I will immediately go to Commander Kawada." ”

At the end of the day, Mason gritted his teeth.

In a valley in the northeast of Jiping County, the independent battalion walked forward with the rescued laborers and captured patriotic soldiers. After these people were rescued, Liu Tianshu asked the soldiers to distribute the dry food they brought with them and the captured food of the devil's field army, so that each of them could receive a little food. After they ate, and the joy of salvation was added, the morale of the whole team was high.

While resting in the forest, Liu Tianshu was discussing the next action with an officer of the Central Army when he heard a surprised voice.

"Tianshu, is it really you?"

Liu Tianshu looked back when he heard the sound, couldn't help but rub his eyes, looked at a man standing in front of him and shouted: "Guosheng, why are you?" ”

"Tianshu, it's me, I'm Kuang Guosheng, I didn't expect us to meet here again." Kuang Guosheng had tears on his big face, he hugged Liu Tianshu, choked up and said, "Tianshu, we have been separated for more than half a year, I didn't expect to be rescued by you this time, if it weren't for your independent battalion, I'm afraid I will never see you again in my life." ”

When he said this, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army who were rescued next to him couldn't stop wiping their tears, and these tears were full of joy of being saved.

"Guosheng, comrades, you have been wronged, but now we are not out of danger, we still have to work hard for a while, just wait until we return to the base area. Guosheng, you have a message for me to my comrades and **** brothers, that is, I, Liu Tianshu and all the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion, greet all the heroes. Liu Tianshu said emotionally.

After Guosheng returned to the team with tears in his eyes, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered the troops to move on.

As soon as he had walked for a while, the commander of the fifth company after the break sent someone to report that about a brigade of devils and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army were chasing after him from behind, and at the same time, the guerrillas who were in charge of reconnaissance and vigilance in the surrounding area also sent someone to report that a large number of devils had also been found in the south.

Liu Tianshu heard the devil's heavy soldiers chasing after him, his brows couldn't help frowning, and before he could speak, he heard the roar of an airplane in the distant sky, followed by the soldiers of the independent battalion commanding the rescued laborers and soldiers to enter the woods to hide.

As soon as they heard that the devil plane was coming, they immediately quickly hid in the woods under the command of the independent battalion, but when those laborers heard that the devil plane was coming, they immediately panicked, some stood in place trembling and couldn't move, and some sat on the ground.

Despite the desperate pushing and pulling of the fighters of the separate battalion, more than a hundred people did not make it into the woods and were spotted by devil planes that were reconnoitring in the sky.

Seeing this, Liu Tianshu was anxious, and immediately sent soldiers to run to the rescued soldiers, asking them to quickly temporarily reorganize according to the original order, and elect the temporary person in charge.

After all, these soldiers were trained, and after knowing that the situation was urgent, they were quickly organized into temporary formations according to the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army. Among them, the New Fourth Army had 112 people, organized into a company, the company commander was a battalion commander of the former New Fourth Army, the Eighth Route Army had 233 people, organized into two companies, Kuang Guosheng and Xiao Zujian served as temporary company commanders respectively, and the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were combined into a battalion, with a deputy regiment commander of the former Eighth Route Army serving as the battalion commander.

Although the Central Army came from different units, there were also 150 people, with a battalion commander named Cheng Zhihua serving as the company commander, and 300 rescued officers and soldiers from the Sichuan Army and other local armies, also organized into three companies.

Subsequently, Liu Tianshu asked people to divide a part of the captured infantry and grenades to these seven improvised companies, of course, the captured weapons could only keep each company with about 40 guns, and each gun had 30 rounds of ammunition. (To be continued.) )
