From Pingyuan Town to the Fuyang Division, Liu Tianshu discussed with Han Fangping and decided to bypass Changlai Mountain, so that he could reach the Fuyang base area by passing through the Devil's fifty-mile defense area. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that this road has to go around 80 miles more, and it is not as convenient as going west from Yongle Town.

Last time, the division headquarters guard company escorted Song Yujie to Pingyuan Town, and took the shortcut road, during which it passed through the three blockade lines of the devils. It's just that because of the urgency of time, coupled with the escort of a company of the guard battalion, they forcibly broke through the two checkpoints of the devils.

And here, Shi Qiang greeted him with a reconnaissance team, but there was no danger.

This time when they went to the division headquarters, Liu Tianshu and Han Fangping only had one guard platoon by their side, and it was too risky to approach the road.

Walking in the forest of Changlai Mountain, seeing the surrounding trees are lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the waterfalls are scattered among them, plus standing on a high place, seeing the mountains undulating, and then lined with blue sky and white clouds, it is refreshing and pleasant.

Perhaps in order to let Liu Tianshu and Song Yujie have more space, Han Fangping and Shi Qiang walked in front with a squad of soldiers, and Su Xiaopeng walked behind with two squads of soldiers. As for Liu Tianshu and Song Yujie, except for Hu Qianshi, who was carrying luggage, there was no one.

"Tianshu, the scenery around here is really beautiful, if there is no war, this place can really be regarded as a paradise." Song Yujie saw the beautiful scenery, her white face was slightly sweaty, and her eyes were shining.

"The land of Qilu has always been outstanding, and natural beauty can be seen everywhere." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

"Brilliant people? I've seen the earth spirits, but if you want to talk about people, why haven't I found out? Song Yujie said mischievously.

"Didn't find out? Don't you think I'm one of them? I'm a native of Shandong. Liu Tianshu said exaggeratedly.

"I'm not ashamed, it's just you, and you're still a masterpiece?" Song Yujie further hit Liu Tianshu's self-esteem.

"I'm also well-behaved, handsome and upright, not to mention Yushu Linfeng, but it's not far away." Liu Tianshu said cheekily.

Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, Song Yujie couldn't help laughing anymore, and the sound of joy echoed in the mountains and forests.

Turning over Changlai Mountain, there is the devil's defense area in front. In order to strengthen the control of the coastal area, after the devils occupied Shandong, they forcibly conscripted the people and built a road from Jinan to the Bohai Sea, which extended from Jinan to the northeast, just passing between Changlai Mountain and Fuyang Mountain.

In order to protect this highway and prevent the attack of the Eight Roads in Fuyang Mountain, the devils not only built a stronghold along the highway, but also controlled an area fifty miles wide along the highway.

Of course, a stronghold was also built at the main entrance and exit points of Fuyang Mountain and Changlai Mountain.

It's just that the area between the two mountains is about a hundred miles long, and the devils can only block the avenue, as for those rugged paths, they can't be blocked at all.

The two underground communication routes between the division headquarters and the new 1st Brigade are in between.

Seeing that he was about to enter the devil's defense area, Liu Tianshu ordered the troops to rest in the forest.

Through the devil's defense zone, it is better to take advantage of the night. It's three hours before dark, so take advantage of this time to eat some dry food and take a break.

Su Xiaopeng, as the commander of the guard platoon in charge of security, heard the regiment commander's order to rest in place and immediately began to arrange a cordon.

Shi Qiang and Shi Hu knew that Su Xiaopeng was very familiar with the work of the guards, and these routine actions did not need the two of them to interfere at all, so they naturally leaned their backs against the trunk of the tree, took out the dry food, and ate the cold boiled water in the military kettle.

"Chigoku, take out the canned beef in my backpack." After Liu Tianshu asked Song Yujie to sit down on a clean stone slab, he shouted to Hu Qianshi, who was sitting not far away.

Starting from Pingyuan Town, Liu Tianshu snatched Song Yujie's backpack in his hand in order to behave in front of Song Yujie, but as for the things he carried, he threw them all to Hu Qianshi.

Fortunately, Hu Qianshi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has no difficulty carrying these things.

Hearing the regiment commander's shout, Hu Qianshi said yes, and then took out two cans of beef from his backpack and ran over.

Liu Tianshu took the can, pried it open with a saber inserted in the leggings, and handed it to Song Yujie.

"Come, try this, don't say it, the little devil can't do anything else, but this beef tastes good if it lacks canned food." These two boxes of canned beef are still the spoils of war after going to Changle to ambush the devil army before the Chinese New Year.

After the Second Regiment returned to Pingyuan Town from a long-distance raid, the brigade headquarters distributed five cylinders of high-grade canned beef to each of the cadres above the battalion level of the brigade, and Liu Tianshu quietly sent two cylinders to the hospital to the wounded soldiers, and one cylinder to Hu Qianshi, and the two cylinders were hidden by him.

No, when he was about to leave Jinlan Village, Liu Tianshu remembered these two cans of beef and stuffed them into his backpack.

Song Yujie is actually from a wealthy family, and naturally has eaten many delicacies in the world. However, after participating in the Eighth Road, because of the difficult conditions, there was not much time to eat meat, let alone this kind of canned beef for Japanese officers.

Song Yujie took the can and saber, carefully cut a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, felt that it was delicious, nodded and said, "The taste is really good, come, you can also take a bite." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece with a knife and handed it to Liu Tianshu's mouth, and the two of them ate it as if no one was around.

When Hu Qianshi saw this, he naturally ignored what was going on outside the window, and buried his head in eating the pancakes in his hands.

These two cans of beef, Hu Qianshi naturally knew that the head of the regiment had treasured them for a long time, and the head of the regiment was usually reluctant to eat them.

However, it was such a precious canned beef, and the regiment commander actually sent one tube to himself and two tubes to the wounded soldier. Thinking of this, his tears flowed out uncontrollably.

The Second Regiment fought a number of battles with the devils, and naturally there were many canned devil beef when they were captured, but it was very rare to find such high-grade canned beef for the Japanese army adjutant and above.

Liu Tianshu and Song Yujie ate there for a while, and put the unfinished canned food back on. I just wanted to walk in the woods. I heard a burst of gunfire in the valley ahead.

"There is a situation." Shi Qiang and Shi Hu heard the gunshot, and got up from the ground, Shi Qiang's shell gun was already in his hand, and Shi Hu grabbed the sniper rifle.

Liu Tianshu's face froze, and when he turned around and saw Song Yujie's nervous expression, he smiled and said, "It's okay, with me, you just have to rest assured." ”

After a minute, Su Xiaopeng ran over.

"Report to the head of the regiment, a devil has been found in the valley ahead."

"How many are there?" The devils in the strongholds along the highway have to come out to sweep from time to time, this situation often happens, although Liu Tianshu rarely goes here, but he doesn't care about this situation.

"Thirteen devils, twenty-four imperial allies, are scourging the people in the valley villages." Su Xiaopeng whispered angrily.

When leaving the base area, the political commissar repeatedly explained that this time they escorted the two regiment commanders to the division headquarters, and the task was very arduous, and they had to ensure the safety of the two regiment commanders and could not easily provoke devils.

Therefore, when Su Xiaopeng heard the report of the guard post in front of him, he didn't dare to make an arbitrary decision, so he could only rush over.

"Devils plague the people? Su Xiaopeng, what do you eat? Could it be that the enemy is not sure to clean up this point? When Liu Tianshu heard this, his eyes immediately widened with anger.

The devil is harming the people, as the Eighth Route Army, is it still watching from the side?

"Commander, the political commissar has repeatedly explained that we want to ensure the safety of you and Captain Han, and we can't easily provoke devils." Su Xiaopeng said embarrassedly.

"What are you talking about? Now I order you to immediately take the guard platoon to destroy this group of enemies, and we will not protect our own safety? By the way, let Shi Hu follow you, and you must cleanly destroy all the devils and the Imperial Army. Just go! Liu Tianshu yelled at Su Xiaopeng.

With Shi Hu's long-distance sniping, it should not be a problem for the guard platoon to eliminate these thirty-seven enemies.

"Yes, Captain." Su Xiaopeng raised his hand and saluted, then turned around and ran over.

However, he still left a squad for Liu Tianshu and Han Fangping to serve as guards.

As soon as Su Xiaopeng left, Han Fangping and Shi Qiang ran over.

"Captain Liu, what's wrong?" Han Fangping looked at Liu Tianshu and asked anxiously.

"Old Han, it's nothing, a few devils and puppet soldiers are scourging the people in front, I asked Su Xiaopeng to take people to destroy them, let's go, let's go over and have a look." Liu Tianshuyun said lightly.

If Su Xiaopeng can't even destroy this bit of enemy, he, the guard platoon commander, doesn't have to be either.

Besides, there was Shi Hu who followed to suppress the formation.

When Shi Qiang heard the gunshots, he also wanted to fight the devils, but thinking of the safety of Liu Tianshu and Han Fangping, he stayed.

Su Xiaopeng led the guard platoon to run out of the mountains and forests quickly, the first squad quickly ran towards the entrance of the small village located in front of the valley, and the second squad quickly approached the village from the back of the village.

The Jianban stronghold at the foot of Changlai Mountain is a large-scale stronghold, and the person in charge of this stronghold is the Japanese squad leader Noda Kazuinu. He divided his squad of Japanese troops into two, with three squads guarding the turret and one squad in the stronghold on one side of the turret. A company of the Imperial Allied Army that cooperated with him to defend the stronghold mostly lived in the stronghold, and the rest were responsible for guarding the checkpoints on both sides of the village.

The highway from Jinan to Binhai passes next to the village.

However, the Jianban stronghold is not only stuck on the side of the road, but also on the main road from Changlai Mountain through Fuyang Mountain.

In order to ensure that the Eighth Road could not pass freely, the devils also built two artillery towers in the Changlai Pass to the east of the Jianban stronghold and the Fuyang Pass to the west, and stationed two squads of Japanese troops and one platoon of the Imperial Alliance Army respectively.

The three strongholds were laid across the road in a straight line, together with the Huangni stronghold in the southwest and the Xin'an stronghold in the northeast, forming a solid defensive line for the Japanese army to block Fuyang Mountain, Changlai Mountain and even Fuya Mountain.

The commander of the Japanese army in command of these three strongholds was named Ikuo Akitani, and his headquarters was located in the Huangni stronghold, and he not only had 30 vehicles, but also was equipped with 3 tanks.

Of course, Huangniji is also the largest market town in this 100-mile-long narrow strip. (To be continued.) )
