Finding Inuno hiding behind the desk, Shi Qiang immediately stared at the desk with a gun in both hands, and a soldier immediately flashed out from the side and quickly forced behind the desk from the side.

Inuno heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and was anxious, raising the pistol probe to shoot, but was forced to shrink back by the bullet that Shi Qiang rushed first.

The warrior went around to the side and formed a flanking attack with Shi Qiang, and Inuno was forced to rush out from the side, raising his gun and preparing to fire at the warrior, but unfortunately his movements were still half a second later than Shi Qiang and the warrior. As soon as his body was revealed, Shi Qiang and the warrior's bullets hit him, and the two bullets hit Inuno's chest, and suddenly two blood holes splashed blood, and the corners of Inuno's mouth overflowed with dirty blood, and his eyes were wide open, and he fell weakly.

After killing Inuno, Shi Qiang and the soldier immediately took charge of fire cover and conducted a thorough search of Inino's room.

As the command post of the devil stationed in Songkan Town, there are naturally many important things, and the main task of Shi Qiang and that soldier is to ensure that these important things are not destroyed.

The town office was breached, and the puppet army guarding inside, after paying the price of more than 20 casualties, the rest of the puppet army no longer dared to resist, but hid in the room and stretched out a white flag.

The surrender of the puppet army directly led to a serious shortage of devils' troops, and the firepower points on the two corners were immediately blown up with explosives by the soldiers of the independent battalion who rushed below, and as for the rest of the devils, they were all wiped out by the independent battalion in less than half an hour.

After completely annihilating the enemy in Songkan Town, Liu Tianshu and Tang Shui thought of the importance of Songkan Town, and finally left a company in Songkan Town, and established a defensive line on Malingpo in the south of Songkan Town, preparing to block the devils from attacking Songkan Town.

Accompanied by Tang Shui, the underground organization of Songkan Town came to the town office where the smoke of gunfire had not yet dissipated.

"Battalion commander, this is Lao Tian in Songkan Town, Lao Tian, this is Comrade Liu Tianshu, the commander of the independent battalion."

When Liu Tianshu learned that the seemingly ordinary person in front of him was Lao Tian, the person in charge of the underground organization in Songkan Town, he immediately shook hands with him happily and said, "Comrade Lao Tian, thank you for your hard work. ”

"Hehe, Battalion Commander Liu, our fellow villagers in Songkan Town know that you have wiped out all these little devils who have suffered a thousand knives, and everyone says that the Eighth Route Army is really good, so don't mention the joy." Lao Tian said happily.

"Fighting little devils is within the responsibility of our Eighth Route Army. By the way, Lao Tian, after the troops return to Songkan Town this time, it is possible to send troops to guard here, and we hope to get strong support from the villagers. The specific arrangements should be decided after returning to the base area for study. However, the maintenance association of the devils no longer exists, can I first set up the Songkan Town Anti-Japanese Salvation Association and temporarily take charge of the local affairs of Songkan Town? Liu Tianshu looked at Lao Tian and said with a cup of expectation.

The establishment of any form of anti-Japanese leadership in Songkan Town must be approved by the Fuchang County Party Committee, but after the troops recovered Songkan Town, the next step was to station troops here, and at the same time establish some militia organizations in the surrounding villages.

And Liu Tianshu is not familiar with the construction of local political power.

"Okay, Camp Commander Liu, don't worry, this matter is on us." Lao Tian was very happy when he heard that the independent battalion would send troops to garrison Songkan Town.

Tang Shui explained what he needed to do next to Lao Tian before sending Lao Tian out.

The next morning, Watanabe received news that Liu Tianshu's independent battalion had appeared in Songkan Town, and a small Japanese army stationed in Songkan Town had collectively broken jade, and Songkan Town had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

After listening to Uehara's report, Watanabe couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore, and threw the report in his hand at Uehara, scolding in his mouth: "Hachige, stupid pig, Tubalu fled back to Songkan Town, you didn't get any news in advance, what are you gendarmerie doing?" ”

Uehara was scolded by Watanabe so embarrassed that he was embarrassed in his heart. If it weren't for Watanabe's wishful thinking to force the independent battalion south to the railway, and then gather and annihilate it, and transfer both the Noeda Brigade and the Saito Brigade to the Hutoubao area, how could the independent battalion take the opportunity to flee back to Songkan Town and attack the Imperial Army there.

It's just that Watanabe is his direct boss, even if Watanabe makes a mistake in judgment, he can only shout in the face of Watanabe's rage.

After Watanabe vented, he turned his head to stare at Uehara, gasped and asked, "Uehara, how many people are there in Tsuchihachiji?" ”

"Report to the wing commander, according to the information I have obtained, the independent battalion of Fuyashan of the Eighth Route Army is about 500 people, and there are three infantry companies, and the leader is called Liu Tianshu, who is from Taihang Mountain, and the specific situation of this person, his subordinates are investigating it as soon as possible." Uehara said cautiously.

"One battalion of Tubalu, in just two months, has caused such huge losses to the Imperial Japanese Army, this is a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army, you must find out where this Liu Tianshu came from as soon as possible, if you can't eliminate him as soon as possible, Fuchang County will not be at peace." Watanabe had calmed down by this time, and his gloomy eyes looked through the window, looking out.

This Liu Tianshu, as soon as he arrived in Fuchang County, ate a reorganized squad of Saito in Shigou Village, although that battle can be said to be because the imperial army was taken by surprise, but later the independent battalion attacked Songkan Town, and annihilated the defenders of Songkan Town, which had a strong turret, in one fell swoop, it was no coincidence.

It was also at that time that Watanabe became wary of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army in Fuyashan.

It's a pity that when he then mobilized the Yezhi Brigade and the Ramadan Brigade to prepare to encircle Fuya Mountain with thunder and annihilate the Fuya Mountain Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, this Liu Tianshu led his troops out of Qinglong Valley, destroyed his Qinglong stronghold at once, and then jumped out of his own encirclement.

Subsequently, Liu Tianshu's independent battalion suddenly appeared on his own railway line, and overnight terminated the Xiaohe stronghold and the Huangjia stronghold, so that the railway transportation line was cut off for two days.

After discovering that the independent battalion was in the east, he immediately asked the Yezhi brigade to press eastward, and at the same time contacted the Japanese army in Jinyang to make preparations for interception, in order to encircle and annihilate the independent battalion at the junction of Fuchang County and Jinyang County.

It's a pity that although this Liu Tianshu crossed the railway from Niujiawan according to his own ideas, he magically disappeared, and when he reappeared, it was in Songkan Town in the north, and overnight, the Japanese troops stationed in Songkan Town were collectively killed.

can easily eat an elite squad of his own, this strong combat power makes Watanabe secretly frightened.

When did the Eighth Route Army have such a strong combat effectiveness?

When the main forces of the Noeda Brigade and the Saito Brigade failed to rush back, Watanabe wanted to destroy the independent battalion, but he could only force himself down.

After regaining his senses, Watanabe immediately ordered to send troops to reinforce the Maotang stronghold in case the independent battalion took the opportunity to move south.

However, Liu Tianshu's independent battalion, at this time, was also the end of the crossbow, he left the first company in Songkan Town to prepare to block the Japanese attack on Songkan, and then quickly returned to Fuya Mountain with the second company and the reconnaissance platoon.

Yang Donghu's first company was entrusted with an important task, and immediately after the departure of the second company and the battalion headquarters, he ordered a platoon to be stationed at Malingpo, south of Songkan Town, and himself, with the cooperation of Lao Tian, began to recruit troops and horses in Songkan Town, and at the same time formed militia organizations in various villages.

Liu Tianshu temporarily handed over the heavy responsibility of running Songkan Town to him, and he suddenly felt that the burden on his body was very heavy.

When the independent battalion returned to Yaping Village, it was immediately warmly greeted by Xiang Shuyu, Zhu Aiguo, Zeng Wei, and others, and the villagers in the base area also came to greet them when they heard the news.

Seeing the second company appear on the hill at the edge of the village, the crowd guarding the entrance of the village immediately cheered and greeted him.

"Battalion commander, you're finally back." After shaking hands with Liu Tianshu, Xiang Shuyu looked at Liu Tianshu with excitement on his face and said.

"Secretary Xiang, you stayed in the base area and suffered, everyone is okay, right?" Although Tang Shui told him that because the main force of the independent battalion suddenly ran out of Qinglong Valley, the devil immediately changed his tactics and only sent one squadron of Japanese troops and two companies of the Imperial Alliance Army to sweep the base area, and the base area did not suffer any losses, but when he saw Xiang Shuyu and a few people, he still asked with concern.

"This time, thanks to you fighting on the outside line to contain the enemy's main force, the devil only sent one squadron of Japanese troops and two companies of the Imperial Allied Army into the mountains to sweep, and after being ambushed twice by three companies, he finally had to retreat in embarrassment, how are you outside?" Xiang Shuyu asked uneasily.

Zhu Aiguo and Zeng Wei, who were standing on the side, were full of concern but couldn't interject.

"Secretary Xiang, don't worry, the little devil wants to eat our independent battalion, and he doesn't have such a big appetite, so I left the company in Songkan Town." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

Subsequently, after Liu Tianshu had a few brief words with Zhu Aiguo and Zeng Wei, everyone returned to the village.

As for the second company, under the leadership of Jin Zhenbiao, they went directly to the village to rest. Those who were forcibly brought back were temporarily placed in the custody of the Third Company.

After listening to Liu Tianshu and Tang Shui's detailed account of the experience of carrying out external operations, Zhu Aiguo, Xiang Shuyu, and Zeng Wei were all in a surging mood. Although they knew how difficult it was to fight in the devil's defense zone, they didn't expect Watanabe, the old devil, to mobilize thousands of people to encircle it.

And in the face of such a disparity between the enemy and us, the independent battalion, under the leadership of Liu Tianshu, did not blindly dodge, but destroyed the railway transportation line of the devils twice, and also eliminated many devils.

Several people looked at Liu Tianshu's eyes, and this time they had a few more admiration.

Subsequently, Zhu Aiguo also gave a detailed account of the combat situation of the three companies left in the base area, and Liu Tianshu heard that the three companies were ambushed twice, eliminating a company of the Imperial Allied Army, and killing more than a dozen devils, and he couldn't help but applaud in a row.

When he learned that Sanlian had doubled the base area during this time, his eyes lit up even more.

After introducing the situation to each other, Liu Tianshu suddenly stood up, looked at Xiang Shuyu and Zhu Aiguo and said: "Instructor, Secretary Xiang, there is one thing I want to report to the organization, when I was dealing with things, I violated the discipline of the Eighth Route Army and violated the party's policy, please organize and punish me."
