Fighting with the rushing New Fourth Army, the devils found out that they had met opponents, these New Fourth Armies did not fight with the devils at all, but cooperated with each other in groups of three, and the New Fourth Army with short guns assisted them, fought for a while, and the devils were defeated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Twenty minutes later, the gunfire and shouts of killing on the road ended.

Hao Mengxuan, who was standing on the top of the mountain, saw that the devils on the highway had been eliminated, and immediately ordered Hou Yifang, the commander of the 70th Regiment, to clean up the battlefield, and then quickly retreated west into the mountains and forests.

When the ambush began, Chen Jian personally commanded the first battalion of the 71st Regiment and launched a final attack on Xia Qiaoji, the artillery tower of the Xia Qiaoji stronghold finally collapsed after being hit by a few mortar shells, and the soldiers of the first battalion and two companies took advantage of the situation to rush into the stronghold, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, all the remaining devils and puppet troops were wiped out.

After the first battalion eliminated the enemy in Xiaqiaoji, it immediately cleaned up the battlefield and at the same time stationed a company in Xiaqiaoji.

When Jiang Zhihe started the battle, he led more than a dozen puppet troops to counterattack, and forced the puppet army company commander to lead his troops to surrender with guns, and the number of people in the puppet army who put down their guns reached more than 80 people, but the rest were killed in the battle.

According to the brigade's arrangement, after the 71st Regiment defeated the enemy in Xiaqiaoji, its first company stayed in the Xiaqiaoji area to mobilize the masses and expand the base area, while the 2nd and 3rd companies of the 71st Regiment and the machine gun company were prepared to uproot the remaining Japanese strongholds under the command of Tong Wu, commander of the 71st Regiment and commander of the 1st Battalion.

As soon as the 70th Regiment withdrew into the mountains and forests, the devil's plane really flew to the battlefield, but when I saw that the entire valley had already dissipated the smoke of gunpowder, except for the corpses of the devils everywhere, no New Fourth Army was found.

In desperation, he had to report the situation to the commander of the Isoda Division.

Saburo Isoda learned that the New Fourth Army, which had ambushed Takeyasu to reinforce the Japanese army, was nowhere to be found, and the Yokokawa Brigade seemed to have all been killed, and Natsuhashiji seemed to have fallen into the hands of the New Fourth Army.

After thinking about it for a long time, he called Kawasaki in frustration, asking the Japanese troops who had gone to reinforce the Yokogawa brigade to return to the county seat quickly, and only let the three hundred puppet soldiers collect the bodies of the fallen imperial soldiers with their bare hands.

Kawasaki couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the strange order of the division commander, but he still strictly implemented the order of the division commander and asked the Japanese squadron to return to the county seat immediately, and at the same time let the puppet army return to the county seat with all the weapons.

Hao Mengxuan and Ou Biaofei, who were in the mountains and forests in the distance, received a report from the reconnaissance personnel that the devils who had come to reinforce had returned to the county seat, and only more than 200 puppet soldiers drove to the valley empty-handed, apparently to collect the corpses of those dead devils.

After listening to the scout's report, Hao Mengxuan and Ou Biaofei couldn't help but smile at each other. Unexpectedly, the little devil was not good at learning, and he was worried that the troops who came to reinforce would enter the tiger's mouth again, so he wisely chose to retreat.

Considering the corpses of those imperial soldiers, the Japanese army had to send people to transport them back, and in the end, this glorious and dangerous task naturally fell to those puppet soldiers.

Knowing that these puppet soldiers did not bring weapons, the two discussed it and decided to let them bring the corpse of the devil back to the county seat.

If these corpses are not transported back by the puppet army, they will have to bother to dispose of them, and lying on the valley road, there are more than 20 wounded devils who have lost their combat effectiveness, some of these wounded soldiers were stunned by the explosion of the shells, and some were hit by bullets and lost their resistance.

When cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the 70th Regiment did not embarrass the wounded Japanese soldiers who did not pose a threat to the soldiers, but simply bandaged them under the condition of ensuring safety, and then carried them aside and put them down.

Although these devil wounded soldiers were full of viciousness in their eyes, they also wanted to attack the New Fourth Army that went to help, but when the New Fourth Army came to bandage them, there were soldiers watching from the side, and all the knives and grenades on their bodies were searched.

knew that he couldn't fight these New Fourth Army with his bare hands, so he died and died together.

The puppet soldiers of the two companies walked to this valley in horror, and saw a road full of dead Japanese corpses, and some of the timid ones even ran to the side and vomited wildly.

In the end, under the strict orders of the puppet army officers, they had to muster up the courage to carry the corpses of these dead Japanese soldiers to the cart, and at the same time carried the more than 20 seriously wounded Japanese soldiers into the car.

After two hours of busy work, the commander of the puppet army battalion commanded the troops to transport the corpses of these imperial soldiers back to Wukang.

However, seeing so many Imperial Army soldiers dying like this, the feeling of the Imperial Army's incomparable martial arts in their minds suddenly became a lot lighter.

Although these puppet soldiers saw that the New Fourth Army did not stop them from gathering the corpses of the imperial army, they believed that there must be the New Fourth Army staring around, and their backs were still a little cold.

It wasn't until they walked out of the valley that the expressions of these puppet soldiers relaxed a little.

Seeing the puppet army carrying the corpses of the fallen Japanese soldiers away, Hao Mengxuan commanded the troops to move to a village in the west.

When they arrived at the edge of the village, they saw the war horses captured from the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry squad, and Hao Mengxuan and Ou Biaofei's eyes couldn't help but light up.

With more than a dozen war horses, the transportation capacity of the brigade artillery company can be greatly improved.

Half a year ago, the people in Wukang knew that the New Fourth Army had arrived in Changxing, and had been looking forward to the New Fourth Army going south to drive away the devils, but the New Fourth Army did not go south, resulting in many aspiring young people, quietly running to Si'an to ask to join the New Fourth Army.

Many soldiers of the 70th Regiment were from the Wukang area.

As for the underground organizations operating in the local area, as well as the anti-Japanese guerrillas, they were extremely excited about the main force of the New Fourth Army moving south.

In the evening, Hao Mengxuan and Ou Biaofei had a deep conversation with Lao Liu, the head of the underground party Wukang, and Lao Liu finally left with excitement on his face.

As early as when the New Seventh Brigade was heading south, Lao Liu received instructions from his superiors to prepare for the New Fourth Army to go south to Wukang.

It's just that the new Seventh Brigade is not yet capable of capturing Wukang County, which makes Lao Liu a little regretful. However, Brigade Commander Hao and Political Commissar Ou said that the division instructed the New Seventh Brigade to stay in the Wukang area to establish an anti-Japanese base area, and after uprooting several strongholds north of Wukang, it would send troops to the surrounding areas to fight devils and eliminate traitors to mobilize the masses, and at the same time, cooperate with the underground party to establish an anti-Japanese democratic regime.

With the strong backing of the New Seventh Brigade, it should be much easier to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle in the future.

A week later, the New Seventh Brigade successively uprooted four strongholds around Wukang, and after Kawasaki's Second Brigade lost three squadrons, there was a serious shortage of troops defending the city, so it had to abandon some small strongholds, and the main force of its First Brigade withdrew to the county seat.

As for Kawasaki's request for the division commander to replenish his troops, it seems that the division commander put it aside, just asking him to guard the county seat and strictly prevent the New Fourth Army from advancing into Hangzhou.

Kawasaki, as the wing commander, did not know that in fact, the Japanese base camp had begun to secretly gather troops and prepare to go south. As the commander of the division, Isoya had learned that many elite divisions had been drawn out of the Chinese battlefield and were preparing to open up territory for the empire with the huge naval expedition of the Great Japanese Empire.

Therefore, in mountainous places like western Zhejiang, the base camp naturally had no time to take care of it, and only required to hold important towns, and it was simply not capable of controlling the vast mountainous areas of China under the saber of the empire.

The shift in the center of gravity of the Japanese military just gave the New Fourth Army, which was active in the north and south of the river, a good opportunity for the development of the New Fourth Army, and the New Seventh Brigade quickly gained a foothold in the Wukang area, and with the cooperation of Lao Liu and other local party organizations, it vigorously developed in the countryside.

Just when the New Seventh Brigade was developing well in Wukang, the 22nd Brigade was also developing rapidly in the Tianmu Mountains. The depths of Tianmu Mountain are not the sphere of influence of the Japanese puppet army, but because it is a mountainous area, only a small group of troops operate in the third theater. There is a small county town called Ishida in the southeast of Tianmu Mountain, and there is a security group of more than 300 people in it.

After the 22nd Brigade advanced into Tianmu Mountain, Wang Zuoyou, the magistrate of Shitian County, sent a security regiment to stop it, but Xie Ping had people disarm him directly.

When the county magistrate Wang Zuoyou heard this, he rushed to Xie Pingcai to question him, accusing Xie Pingcai and the New Fourth Army of sabotaging the anti-Japanese united front policy.

When Xie Ping heard this, he said with a smile: "County Magistrate Wang, if you want to undermine the anti-Japanese united front, I think this hat is the most suitable to wear on the head of the Third War Zone Governor's Department." Our New Fourth Army resists Japan and fights devils, what is the crime? What is the crime of our army commander leading his troops to fight devils, and now he is being detained by the Third War Zone, and now you are accusing us of sabotaging the anti-Japanese united front. That's good, you let the Third War Zone release our Commander Ye and release the detained soldiers of our New Fourth Army, I won't say a word, and immediately withdraw from Tianmu Mountain with my troops. ”

When Wang Zuoyou heard this, he was immediately speechless.

Yes, if you want to say that the destruction of the anti-Japanese united front is also the destruction of the third theater first, and the third theater has even arrested the commanders of other people, what reason do you have to say about them.

However, hundreds of his own guns are still in the hands of the other party, and this is the only family background in Ishida County.

"Chief Xie, the matter of the Chief's Department, I, a small county magistrate, have no right to discuss it in vain, and I am not qualified to evaluate it, but don't you New Fourth Army keep saying that you are an anti-Japanese devil? We don't have devils in Ishida County, and besides, my security team is not a devil either, so how can you attack them? "I have to say that this Wang Zuoyou still has some brains.

"Hehe, I said County Magistrate Wang, you also know that even if our New Fourth Army can fight again, we can't fight devils in the air. The Nationalist Government did not give us guns, food, and salaries, so we had to think for ourselves. Besides, County Magistrate Wang, Ishida is next to Linchuan, and it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy of Linchuan will not attack Ishida, do you really believe that your small security group alone can stop the Japanese? I guess there's something else going on here, right? Also, it is precisely because the Ishida Security Regiment is not a devil that we just fired their guns, and as long as they are not enemies of our New Fourth Army, we will not shoot at friendly troops. In the end, Xie Pingcai's eyes flashed with a deep light, which made County Magistrate Wang feel his heart skip a beat. (To be continued.) )
