Qiao Mingzhi and Kao Binzhi retreated in different directions, he followed the main road all the way to the south and retreated towards Guanzhuang. It was their base from which they departed, and was met by a platoon from the instructor's reconnaissance battalion.

The sound of gunfire in the battle of Xiaoguanzhuang had already alarmed the surrounding people and the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army operating in this area.

At this time, it is the beginning of November of the solar calendar and the middle of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the traditional ninety-nine double yang of the Chinese has just passed, and the sorghum, millet, corn, beans, and cotton in the fields are all harvested. Although the little devils have harmed the common people and cannot live normally, Anqiu has become one of the battlefields of the Eighth Route Army's cold gun and cold artillery movement for a period of time, and the little devils have been driven to the county seat, and the people naturally want to seize the time.

Anqiu belongs to the warm temperate continental monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons. In the past, in order to fight drought and flooding, the common people planted a large number of sorghum. At the same time, in order to earn more money, the area of cotton cultivation, which is three times higher than the harvest of wheat, sorghum and beans, is also large. After Liu Yimin popularized the two-cropping method of one year, many ordinary people planted late corn, sweet potatoes, and vegetables under the organization of cadres. But the tradition can not be changed overnight, the people still like to plant sorghum, because sorghum is not only drought and flood tolerant, no need to fertilize, low planting cost, is the "camel in the crop" in the minds of farmers, and sorghum straw is widely used, not only can be used as the Yellow River rescue, but also can be used to make roofs, fence walls and weaving supplies, widely used. In particular, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the sorghum field once again had the function of covering the actions of the anti-Japanese army, and sorghum became the most popular crop variety among the military and the people.

No, Qiao Mingzhi walked about four or five miles with the two wounded, and he heard a long and short whistle in the sorghum field on the side of the road. After a while, there was a sound of rustling in the sorghum field, and six men with spears and sickles on their backs walked out.

With a pair of passwords, Qiao Mingzhi found out that he had met the comrades of the Anqiu County Brigade, who were helping the villagers with the autumn harvest, and rushed over when they heard the gunshots, wanting to see what was going on.

Now it's okay, Qiao Mingzhi asked the comrades of the county brigade to send two people to send the wounded to Guanzhuang, and he took the remaining four people to Xiaoguanzhuang again, he wanted to reconnoitre, after Kao Bin's troops retreated, would the little devil come to retaliate.

Fortunately, Qiao Mingzhi returned to reconnoiter the side, otherwise he would not have seen the situation of the Yue Army Brigade pursuing Kao Bin's troops to the southwest.

Crawling in the sorghum field 500 meters away from Xiaoguanzhuang, he quietly watched the vanguard team of the little devils leave behind the vehicle, lead the military dog to chase in the southwest direction, and then watched the puppet army brigade drive over, and followed the army team to chase down. Qiao Mingzhi's eyes were straight, because although the army brigade was gone, there were cars, motorcycles, and armored vehicles that could not be taken on the main road at the entrance of Xiaoguanzhuang Village, and thirty-six little devils and drivers were left to guard these vehicles.

Qiao Mingzhi's eyes were red, the little devil's life could be taken if he could, and the little devil's things could be snatched if he could. However, looking at the five of them, they couldn't afford to provoke these little devils anyway. It's easy to say anything else, but that little devil's armored car is particularly difficult to deal with, and the machine gun on it is a murderous weapon!

The comrades of the county brigade wanted to go back and inform the county brigade to clean up the little devils, Qiao Mingzhi took a look at the situation, these twenty-four little devils were very vigilant, except for the sentry posts in the four directions, the others were all on cars and motorcycles, with machine guns, staring around. It's just that the county brigade is coming, and there is no way to take these little devils without artillery fire.

Qiao Mingzhi asked the four people of the county brigade to leave three little devils to monitor them, and one person went back to inform the county brigade, but he had to wait until he came back before attacking, otherwise it would cause great casualties. Then, he got out of the sorghum field, got on his bicycle and went straight to Guanzhuang, wanting to bring a platoon of the division's reconnaissance battalion that remained there, those reconnaissance fighters had good weapons, good marksmanship, and good skills, as long as they came, they could sneak attack the little devils when it was dark.

From Xiaoguanzhuang to Guanzhuang, it is more than 20 miles away, however, this is a hilly area, the road is not easy to walk, Qiao Mingzhi rode a bicycle to the south, pushed for a while, rode for a while, crossed the Honggou River, thirty miles of shop, and ran for an hour and a half to reach Guanzhuang.

What Qiao Mingzhi didn't expect was that when he arrived at the entrance of Guanzhuang Village, he found that he had met the army. At the entrance of the village stood a sentry of the Japanese army, and an officer of the Japanese army was holding a telescope to observe the situation in the direction of his own road, and a three-wheeled motorcycle parked next to it was all equipped with machine guns, and there seemed to be trucks and armored vehicles parked behind it.

The sky was white, and I met at the entrance of the village, and I didn't have time to run, Qiao Mingzhi was stunned, could it be that the army attacked Guanzhuang? And what about the comrades who stayed in Guanzhuang?

Without thinking about it, the shell gun in Qiao Mingzhi's hand was immediately raised, and he was about to catch fire.

At this moment, the devil officer holding the telescope took off the telescope and shouted at Qiao Mingzhi: "Platoon Commander Qiao!" ”

Qiao Mingzhi was about to hold the fire, when he heard the shout of "Qiao Platoon Commander", and immediately understood that this was the Eighth Route Army disguised as an army.

Qiao Mingzhi put away the gun, threw the bicycle into the ground, and ran over. When I came to see it, it was really the comrades-in-arms of the First Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the devil officer was Wang Dongqiang, the leader of the second squad.

Seeing Qiao Mingzhi coming, Wang Dongqiang laughed at him, saying that he couldn't even recognize the teacher with any eyes, but fortunately the teacher didn't forget the students, otherwise the joke would have been a big one as soon as he shot him.

When Qiao Mingzhi learned special warfare tactics from Wang Laohu, he inevitably asked Wang Dongqiang for advice, Wang Dongqiang said that he was his teacher, that was not an exaggeration, Qiao Mingzhi laughed after hearing it. After laughing, I suddenly remembered that this special operations brigade is the most elite unit of our army, and they suddenly appeared here, could it be that the main force of our army is about to attack?

Qiao Mingzhi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly reported to Wang Dongqiang about his investigation in Anqiu City and the battle between Kao Bin's regiment and Yuekou Xiaoguanzhuang.

Wang Dongqiang didn't say anything after hearing this, and took Wang Dongqiang to find Wang Laohu and Wang Dahu.

After receiving the order to go north, Wang Laohu immediately led the No. 1 Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade back to the station of the Tai'an Detachment in Yimeng Mountain, changed to motorcycles, automobiles, and armored vehicles left there by the Special Operations Brigade, and headed north along the highway. On the way, he joined up with the division headquarters to accept the combat mission, and was ordered to separate the five special operations teams and assign them to the command of the 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, the 4th Brigade, the 6th Brigade, and the 8th Brigade. Wang Laohu himself led the second special warfare team to quickly go north with the first brigade and the first regiment, rushed to Guanzhuang to rest, and prepared to choose the right time to sneak attack Anqiu County. The main force of the 1st Brigade followed behind them.

Wang Laohu was talking to Wang Dahu at this time, specifically teaching Wang Dahu how to fall in love.

Wang Laohu was introduced by Tang Xingying and met a female student in Xi'an, but the girl thought he was ugly and disagreed. Tang Xingying said that Wang Laohu was a big hero of the Red Army, but the girl was still unwilling. As a result, it really responded to the old saying "if you plant flowers intentionally, the flowers will not bloom, and if you don't intentionally plant willows and willows", one of the girl's classmates had affection for Wang Laohu. Now, the two of them exchanged letters, and they fell in love seriously, and when Wang Laohu was unpopular, he took out the girl's photo and kissed it secretly, and his face was happy.

Wang Dahu is still single, and he doesn't even have a goal. When this old comrade-in-arms met together, it was time to rest during the march, and Wang Laohu couldn't help but blow it away.

The reason why Wang Dahu didn't talk about it was not because he didn't want to talk about it, but because since he met Liu Yimin, he regarded Liu Yimin as his teacher, talking, doing things, commanding wars, and learning from Liu Yimin everywhere. Even looking for a partner, Wang Dahu felt that Liu Yimin was really smart, and all the girls who liked him were top-notch, and they were all top-notch characters, both in appearance and cultivation. Wang Laohu felt that if he wanted to find it, he had to find someone with good looks and good cultivation, otherwise he would lose his teacher.

Wang Laohu saw his thoughts, no, he was showing up to explain and enlighten him!

According to Wang Laohu, this girl, whether she is ugly or handsome, it doesn't matter, the key is to be good to you wholeheartedly. In their hometown, when the old people say daughter-in-law to their children, they generally don't say the most beautiful, and of course they can't say the ugliest, it's best to say that they are mediocre-looking.

When Wang Dahu heard this, he asked why.

Wang Laohu put on a teachable posture and said slowly: "The dish is ready, Fei Bao!" ”

Wang Dahu pondered for a long time before he understood the meaning of Wang Laohu's words, and immediately smiled, pointing at Wang Laohu while laughing and saying, "Okay, you Wang Laohu, you have learned so badly before you get married!" You say, isn't your little object a good dish? ”

Wang Laohu hurriedly went to close the door, turned around and yelled at Wang Dahu: "Lao Tzu is kind enough to teach you, you stupid donkey, why don't you open your mind?" Good girls and ugly girls are all girls after all. As long as she has a crush on you, that's a blessing for you. ”

Wang Dahu said: "You are hungry and don't choose food, and you see that the sows are all double eyelids. If you want me to say, either beat the single, or find someone who is satisfied. I'd rather eat a bite of peaches than a basket of rotten pears. ”

Wang Laohu scolded Wang Dahu again for wanting to eat swan meat, these days, it's good to be able to save his life, where do the girls have the heart to dress up, no matter how handsome the girls are, they are all dishes, where can they distinguish the ugly handsome! You kid always wants to find a beautiful one, but in fact, he is greedy for vanity, and after a long time, be careful of being a female spy and a Chiang Kai-shek female spy.

Wang Dahu retorted that the young women who participated in the anti-Japanese war are much more beautiful, and when there is time, Lao Tzu will find someone as beautiful as Tang Xingying to anger you!

Wang Laohu said: "You kid is hopeless, and you don't look at what kind of bear you look like, you want to find Tang Xingying so beautiful, isn't that as difficult as wanting to go to the sky and pick stars?" It's over, it's over, you kid is destined to beat a single. ”

The two of them were laughing and scolding, and Wang Dongqiang led Qiao Mingzhi to report the situation.

This Wang Laohu and Wang Dahu are both offensive generals, and the troops led by them are the most elite troops of the instructor, and they didn't look at the army stationed in Anqiu City, and when they heard Qiao Mingzhi's report, Wang Laohu slammed his fist against the wall: "His grandmother's, just when he wanted to sleep, the little devil sent a pillow." Beat! This time, not only is Anqiu City empty, but the little devil has also gone to the field, a brigade of the army and a battalion of puppet soldiers, it can be regarded as the first dish for us, eat it first! ”

With the hostile situation so clear and the situation so favorable, how could Wang Dahu miss such a good opportunity? Called political commissar Wang Xinyun, several people finalized the battle plan after dividing five by two, and Wang Laohu led the second special operations team to deal with the little devils who were guarding the vehicle, and then led the three battalions to attack and occupy Anqiu County. Wang Dahu commanded the main force of the regiment to pursue and annihilate the Yue army brigade, and annihilated all the Yue army in Anqiu in one fell swoop.

After the battle plan was decided, Wang Dahu immediately sent a telegram to Liu Yimin and Gao Yuan, reporting the enemy's situation and his own disposition, and then ordered the start of the operation.

Wang Laohu set off with the second special operations squad and the third battalion along the main road in the direction of Xiaguanzhuang, in front of which was the second squad wearing military uniforms, motorcycles, automobiles, and armored vehicles, and behind was the third battalion riding war horses and wearing military uniforms of the Yue army.

Wang Laohu's regimental main force was a different scene, with the villagers leading the way and the regimental reconnaissance platoon wearing the countrymen's uniforms in the front, and the main regimental force in the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army in the back, the troops divided the road and inserted to the west. Because as soon as Wang Dahu heard the information and looked at the topographic map again, he determined that Kao Bin's regiment was retreating in the direction of the Ling River, because after crossing the Ling River, it entered the mountainous area, which was now controlled by Li Wenli's department.

The convoy of Wang Laohu's second special warfare squad was very fast, and it arrived near Xiaoguanzhuang in an hour.

Qiao Mingzhi had already seen the methods of the Eighth Route Army's special combat team, and he was not worried at all about whether the second squad could take out the dozens of little devils guarding the vehicles. The only thing he was worried about was whether the Anqiu County Brigade would arrive in advance, and he couldn't help but attack, in that case, the loss would be great.

Fortunately, the Anqiu County Brigade did arrive, but it had just arrived, and they were looking forward to Qiao Mingzhi's arrival.

Wang Ahu ordered the Anqiu County Brigade to stand by on the spot, and he led the Second Special Operations Squad and the Third Battalion that arrived later to continue to advance along the main road openly, and drove directly to the devils guarding the vehicle.

There are not many little devils left to guard the vehicle, and the vigilant surname is extremely high. Suddenly, a troop came on the main road, and the devil officer who led the team immediately ordered to prepare for battle. But soon the sentries reported that the team was an Imperial unit, but it was not known which part it was.

The devil officer who led the team ordered the flag soldiers to send flags, asking the other party what number and what task they were performing.

Soon, the flag soldiers of the imperial army from the south replied, saying that they were from the Xuzhou garrison, and escorted the commander to Weifang to meet Lieutenant General Xiong Mi of the 10th and 8th Division, passing by here.

The devil officer guarding the military vehicle is also a second lieutenant, where would he know if there was a matter of the commander of the Xuzhou garrison coming to visit Lieutenant General Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan, his mind was dizzy, but seeing that the other party was a motorcycle, a car, an armored car, and a long cavalry, and the car was planted with a sun flag, the alert surname unconsciously lowered. When these imperial troops from afar came to his side, the second lieutenant of the devil was ordered to assemble the team to listen to the commander's lecture in a daze, and it was not until he received several slaps in the face that he saw clearly that the person who slapped him was actually a major general. The second lieutenant was inexplicably happy in his heart, Amaterasu, I didn't expect to meet His Excellency the Major General today, and he also slapped himself personally, is this simply a blessing from the ancestors!

So, under the order of His Excellency the Major General, the devil lieutenant who was guarding the military vehicle got into a motorcycle in a daze, and willingly led the way for His Excellency the Major General to Anqiu County.

Of course, the devil lieutenant did not see it, and after he got on his motorcycle and ran away, all the soldiers he left behind were chopped with sabers by the guards cavalry accompanying His Excellency the Major General. I couldn't even see that the soldiers of the Anqiu County Brigade who poured out of the sorghum fields were happily cleaning up the battlefield, vigorously putting the bullets and grenades left by the little devils in their pockets.

Gao Xinghua, the commander of the third battalion of Kao Bin's regiment, is now about to regret his death, he never imagined that there were so many people in the puppet army that caught up, and as soon as he came up, he bombarded the Zhou family with fierce artillery fire. In this way, the brothers of a platoon he deployed in Zhou's Xiazhuang were afraid of danger.

Originally, the deployment of a platoon as an outpost in Zhoujiaxiazhuang was in line with the requirements of general defensive warfare. The problem is that the large army came too quickly, and as soon as it came up, it implemented a fire blockade, and the platoon could not be withdrawn.

Xinghua was a man, and he did not pee his pants as soon as he saw the army, as other militia groups did, but ordered the correspondent to immediately report to Kao Binzhi and ask for reinforcements. At the same time, the main force of the battalion was ordered to open fire to cover the troops in the village under the Zhou family. It's a pity that Xinghua's three battalions have poor weapons, not to mention artillery, they don't even have heavy machine guns, and the range of light machine guns is too close, so they can't stop the puppet army from attacking Zhoujiaxiazhuang.

The puppet army is like this, when the little devils are in adversity, they will grind foreign workers and crawl on the ground without moving. Once the little devils gain the upper hand, these puppet armies will attack with all their might, showing their loyalty to their masters. No, as soon as the devil's artillery fire stopped, the puppet battalion commander howled with a small pistol and forced the puppet soldiers to attack Zhou's Xiazhuang. The captain of the devil squad who was watching the battle in the back kept shouting Yo Xi.

The artillery fire just now turned Zhoujiaxiazhuang into a sea of fire, and the soldiers who held Zhoujiaxiazhuang relied on the cover of the courtyard wall, but the casualties were not very heavy. At this time, they have already seen clearly, there are so many devil puppet armies, and the firepower is so strong, it is impossible to repel the devils or withdraw to the west bank, there is only one way, and that is to fight with the devils.

The puppet soldiers came up and were greeted by bullets and grenades. The rumble of grenade explosions and the crackling of rifle fire were mixed with the cries of the puppet army and the shouts of the defenders.

If it were only the puppet army, the defenders might be able to repel their attack. But as soon as the devils joined, the situation was different, the grenadiers of the little devils hit too accurately, and it was very convenient to move, and as soon as the defenders counterattacked, they pointed out the direction of the artillery bombardment to the grenadiers of the army. Although the army was still the same old-fashioned, bombing with grenadiers and using machine guns to fire at the defenders after forcing them out, the defenders were too few in number, and they did not have the weapons to restrain the grenadiers and machine guns of the army, so they could only rely on their flesh and blood to contend with the puppet army with grenades and rifles. It didn't take long for the puppet army to attack Zhuangzi.
