At the same time, they are active in the three northeastern provinces, and there are various resistance forces hidden among the people and hidden under the noses of little devils. Seeing such a record achieved by the Anti-Japanese Federation and the Eighth Route Army, even the little devils were beaten round and round, this is a favorable opportunity. They also pulled their troops out of the water, and began to use various means to fight the little devils openly and secretly, and use their own ways to reinforce the Anti-Japanese Union and the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area...

For a while, the entire three northeastern provinces, with the spread of the news, the whole situation slowly began to become tense. A group of forces hostile to the Japanese army began to surface. Even the Northeast men who bowed their heads in front of the Japanese enemy in the past seemed to be hardened and began to trouble the Japanese when they had nothing to do

At this moment, there is a mountain less than a hundred kilometers away from the Mengshan area. A dilapidated but very patterned cottage appeared impressively on the top of a steep mountain.

And this cottage is a stronghold that was forced to be established by a group of scattered Northeast Army soldiers after the arrival of the Japanese army, when there was no way out. Of course, at the beginning of the establishment of this cottage, because of the Northeast Army soldiers with a battalion, coupled with the addition of a large number of young people in the Northeast who were unwilling to be slaves of the country, the total strength once expanded to more than 2,000 people, and the scale can be said to be very huge

However, with the massive increase in the number of troops of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army, the rule of the three northeastern provinces became more and more severe and bloody. Under the repeated encirclement and suppression and attacks of the Japanese, the entire cottage has been sharply reduced from more than 2,000 people at the beginning to less than 500 people now

However, it is gratifying that although his troops suffered heavy losses, the leader of the cottage, Zhang Guanghua, the former commander of the Northeast Military Battalion, was not intimidated by the cruelty and bloody rule of the Japanese army. Still with the remaining 500 people in the cottage, they continued to fight hard against the Japanese invaders

At this moment, in the righteous hall of the cottage, Zhao Guanghua, the former commander of the Northeast Military Battalion, and several company commanders are gathering together to discuss the future development direction of the entire cottage according to an exciting news that has just come out of the hands of the Japanese army

"Big brother, all the circumstances have been figured out. The little devils gathered more than 100,000 people and spent half a year of hard work. It was not easy to compress the remaining 10,000 troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation to the area of Changbai Mountain, and it seemed that the final victory was about to be achieved. However, at this moment, a unit of the Eighth Route Army came from Guannai."

"The Eighth Route Army, which had a small number of people and only a few thousand people, turned the tide and solved the difficult situation faced by the Anti-Japanese Federation at once. In the end, the entire Anti-Japanese Federation and the Eighth Route Army troops worked together to defeat the current Japanese puppet army. And the 40,000 elite little devils Kwantung Army, with mines, surrounded him to Baishan County, forcing the little devils to the point of running out of ammunition and food Now, the various transport planes belonging to the little devil Kwantung Army are urgently assembling, preparing to airdrop all kinds of food to these 40,000 little devils? A young man wearing the uniform of the former captain of the Northeast Army said excitedly

"Mustache, is this news true, this Eighth Route Army is really so powerful, thousands of people actually beat the little devils 100,000 army and retreated, and surrounded the entire 40,000 little devils. Could it be that the little devil spread another conspiracy" In the face of this exciting news, Zhao Guanghua, the battalion commander who had been fighting with the little devil for ten years, had been fooled in front of the conspiracy of the small pan nobleman many times, and he did not show too much excitement. Instead, he asked rhetorically with a calm face

"Battalion commander, brothers, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with this news. I don't know if you remember, but we thought the county had sent a lot of intelligence officers. At present, there is an intelligence officer who has broken into the inside of the little devil airport and specially cooked for the little devil at the airport. This news was heard from the little devil's conversation, and there was absolutely no problem, and we also got a very important piece of information from other channels," Xiaohuzi said confidently

"What information" After listening to Xiaohuzi's explanation, battalion commander Zhao Guanghua no longer had any doubts. In the blink of an eye, his face showed an excited look, and he hurriedly asked.

"Battalion commander, this news is about this Eighth Route Army unit that has been reinforced from Guannei. According to the rumors of the little devils, the Eighth Route Army, which was reinforced from Guannei, although there were only a few thousand people. However, it has a great background, it is the most elite unit of the Eighth Route Army," Xiaohuzi said, "Isn't it the Eighth Route Army of several thousand people, I have heard before that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is very simple, and it is not as good as our Northeast Army troops

"Lao Wang, you're talking about the Eighth Route Army a few years ago, and those are all old yellow calendars. According to what our intelligence officers learned. Now the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is snatched from the hands of the little devils, not much worse than the Central Army of Chiang Kai-shek, otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, how to recapture Taiyuan from the hands of the little devils, and finally liberate the entire North China region. Even Tianjin and Beiping, where the headquarters of the North China Zhutun Army are located, were defeated by the Eighth Route Army," Xiaohuzi immediately retorted

"Little Huzi, what you said is true? The Eighth Route Army really has such a powerful combat effectiveness, and even Beiping and Tianjin have been defeated" Similarly, several company commanders who had been in the deep mountains, fighting with the Japanese army, and had bad news, immediately showed a look of incredulity on their faces, and asked with a shocked face

"Of course it's true, these things have been reported in the newspapers in the county. Those newspapers, I can ask the intelligence officers to buy them, but none of you read them," Xiaohuzi said helplessly

"Well, brothers, what Xiaohuzi said is true. At present, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army are not much worse than any central army. Let's not talk about this for a while, Xiaohuzi, you just said, what is the big origin of this Eighth Route Army unit that went out of the customs" Under Xiaohuzi's reminder, Zhao Guanghua, as the battalion commander, immediately remembered how the Eighth Route Army had been constantly publicized in the county newspapers for more than a year, and at the same time, he was also convinced of what Xiaohuzi had just said

"Battalion commander, I heard that this time, the Eighth Route Army that went out of the customs was in the Guannei, and it has always been invincible, and the little devils who fought fled in the wilderness, and the independent division of the Eighth Route Army that made the little devils frightened appeared and the anti-union This unit is the independent division special operations brigade that makes the little devils smell the weather, otherwise, the nearly 100,000 Japanese puppet army will not let more than 10,000 of the Eighth Route Army and the Anti-Japanese Federation be defeated and retreated" Xiaohuzi said confidently

"So that's the case, if it's really a special combat team that makes the little devil smell the weather, then it's not surprising" Battalion commander Zhao Guanghua, the battalion commander of the Northeast Army who has studied the Eighth Route Army in Guannai for a period of time, nodded and said thoughtfully.

"Brothers, the specific situation, Xiaohuzi has told you. Our brothers, after several years of fighting, there are only about 500 people left. As for the old brothers of the original Northeast Army, there are less than a hundred people left. And even these more than 500 people were also overwhelmed by the little devils, but now in the Mengshan area, there is such a powerful anti-Japanese team, stationed by our side, and is fighting the little devils, tell me, what should we do? After a short period of contemplation, the battalion commander Zhao Guanghua asked the several company commanders in front of him

"Battalion commander, I don't have anything to say, in a word, I did it with the little devil. Such a good opportunity, even if the Eighth Route Army eats meat and gnaws bones, we have to go over and drink some soup. Otherwise, our anti-Japanese resistance in the past few years will be in vain," a company commander said without hesitation

"Battalion commander, I think, what do you mean, it's not just as simple as going to Baishan County to support the Eighth Route Army to fight devils" Another company commander said after taking a deep look at the battalion commander in front of him

"Lao Zhang still understands my brothers, I won't say anything else, and now, I'll tell you what is in my heart. Although, for ten years, although, our brothers have been fighting devils all along. However, he has always been wearing a bandit's skin. To be honest, I was aggrieved in my heart, and I had long thought about finding a way out for everyone. And now, this way out is in front of us, I don't know if you want to cherish this opportunity" Glancing at the few company commanders in front of him, Zhao Guanghua no longer had any hesitation, and said directly

"Battalion commander, what do you mean, let's go to the Eighth Route Army," Company Commander Zhang continued to ask

"Well, that's what I thought. Speaking of which, among all the teams in the country, only the Eighth Route Army was the first to propose the liberation of the three northeastern provinces, and it was also the first to really send troops out of the customs to fight devils, so I decided to take everyone to join the Eighth Route Army and become real soldiers. The battalion commander said it so well, to put it in my heart, I have long wanted to suggest that the battalion commander go to join the Anti-Japanese Federation. It's just that all along, the strength of the Anti-United Nations has been too weak, so I didn't bring it up. Now, the Eighth Route Army is here, and it is still the Eighth Route Army troops that have been making the little devils smell and change. Therefore, I absolutely support the battalion commander's opinion and go to join the Eighth Route Army" Xiaohuzi was the first to stand up and echo

"I also agree to join the Eighth Route Army" "I agree to join the Eighth Route Army" With the first one who agreed, the remaining company commanders, without any hesitation, stood up from their seats one after another and agreed

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then we will now go down the mountain and join the brothers of the Eighth Route Army, and now I order, take all our weapons and ammunition, and assemble in the field in front of the Gathering Hall in the shortest possible time. Let's go to Baishan County and participate in the Eighth Route Army's fight against devils" After being affirmed by several company commanders, Zhao Guanghua nodded with satisfaction, and then gave the order to set off

"Yes, battalion commander"

In this way, more than 500 people, armed in various military uniforms, carried all kinds of weapons and ammunition that had been snatched from the hands of the little devils in the past few years, and under the leadership of battalion commander Zhao Guanghua, they walked out of the cottage where they had been entrenched for ten years and rushed to Baishan County, a few hundred miles away

And in this way, the troops rushing to Baishan County were far more than this, after the news that 40,000 Japanese troops were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army in Baishan County and fell into the predicament of running out of ammunition and food spread around. The various anti-Japanese forces around the Mengshan area rushed over with their troops to Baishan County, which would become the grave of 40,000 Japanese soldiers

At the same time, various guerrilla units located in the area of anti-union activities also rushed to Baishan County as soon as possible, preparing to annihilate 40,000 little devil troops in one fell swoop

Of course, the news that the 40,000 elite little devil troops were surrounded in Baishan County and fell into the predicament of running out of ammunition and food was also passed on by some well-intentioned people at the first time, and they were still hoarded in the military camps of the puppet army around the Mengshan area

After hearing the news, the Manchurian military camps immediately fell into a panic

In a Manchurian army stronghold store north of Mengshan, as soon as he got the news, the division commander of the Manchurian Army summoned all his cadres at and above the regimental level to gather in the conference room to discuss the future whereabouts of his troops

"Brethren, the situation is clear to all. At present, among the various strongholds around Mengshan, all the strongholds with little devils have been taken by the Eighth Route Army. Now, we're all left with a stronghold of no little devils. According to the intelligence, at present, there is a unit of the Eighth Route Army, carrying a large number of artillery, and it is quickly driving towards us, and everyone is talking about what we should do next, whether to defend to the death, or take the initiative to retreat" Glancing at several regiment commanders with different thoughts in front of him, the division commander spoke

"Division commander, just the more than 3,000 people in our division, what to do to defend to the death, even tens of thousands of little devils have been besieged by the Eighth Route Army in Baishan County, and they are about to be wiped out. We are a few thousand people, and the combat effectiveness of our brothers under us, everyone knows that I estimate that when the time comes, as soon as the cannon of the Eighth Route Army sounds, the brothers under my command will smear oil on the soles of their feet and all of them will slip away, so I completely deny this suggestion, this is a joke with everyone's names," a regiment commander said

"Commander Li, usually, you are the most intelligent person among us, you can tell me first, what do you think" The division commander nodded and continued to ask

"Commander, brothers. Captain Wang has already said it just now. Stick to it, absolutely not. However, retreat, according to the character of the little devil, we have just retreated on the front foot. The little devil's gendarmerie will send us to the court and shoot us directly, so in addition to defending and retreating, we only have the last way out" Glancing at the few people in front of him, Regiment Commander Li said

"Brothers, the last way out that Commander Li just mentioned, I don't say that everyone knows it. This is the only way out where everyone can save their lives. So, now let's make *** decisions. If you agree with Commander Li's suggestion, everyone raises their hands" Seeing the look of recognition on everyone's faces, the division commander spoke. At the same time, the first raised his right hand

The division commander was the first to raise his right hand, and the remaining regiment commanders, of course, raised their right hand without hesitation for the sake of their own name

"Alright, unanimously approved. When the time comes, after the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrives, we will surrender to the Eighth Route Army, but before surrendering, we must first solve the dozens of little devil advisers in the team, and after the meeting is dismissed, everyone will start to act. Whoever has a problem with his subordinates, I will find trouble with whoever is disbanding the meeting now

An hour later, just when the 3rd Division of the Anti-Japanese Union, which arrived in a hurry, was just preparing to set up artillery and carry out a strong attack. A staff officer holding a white flag came out of everyone's field of vision

The final result was no surprise, after ensuring the safety of the lives and property of all Manchurian Army officers, the Manchurian Army division commander directly led the more than 3,000 soldiers of the division to surrender

With the few remaining puppet army strongholds of the first Manchurian army unit that surrendered in formation, under the various political offensives of the Eighth Route Army and the Anti-Japanese Federation, in less than a few hours, they walked out of their strongholds and laid down the weapons in their hands

In this way, the plan that had been scheduled for two days to completely annihilate all the Japanese puppet troops around the Mengshan area took only one and a half days to successfully complete the various units that had completed the scheduled tasks, and then to talk about the proper placement of prisoners. also rushed to Baishan County at the first time.

However, at this moment, what the commander and Yang Jingyu and others did not expect was that when the three-way army rushed to Baishan County, preparing to complete the encirclement of the entire county. In the surroundings of Baishan County, no less than 10,000 people have gathered, and after hearing the news from all over the country, various anti-Japanese armed forces have rushed in
