Before dawn, Lu Qingyang ordered the company commander to arrange to feed the dogs, and the soldiers also had breakfast, and then urgently pulled out and ran wildly in the direction of Chaoxian. Lu Qingyang was promoted from deputy platoon commander to commander-in-chief of the enemy decoy team by Wang Ziguang last night, and the company commander had to listen to him.

The lure team brought more than 10 war horses to lead the way and contain, the marching speed was several times faster, and it was non-stop, and it only took 5 minutes to eat, and even ate while running.

Miyamoto Masahiro inspected the camp of the Wu Mu army and believed that the signs of the retreat of the Shina army were false tricks, and the main force was still with the dogs, and the overnight escape may be due to the receiving troops in front, and it was necessary to entangle them before the "ghost beast troops" and the Shina reinforcements converged. While urging the infantry brigade behind him, he led the cavalry to chase down.

At the normal speed, Miyamoto Masahiro did not see the Shina troops, and judging from the dryness and wetness of the dog dung, the Shina troops had passed for a while, so he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to speed up the pursuit.

After 10 hours of rapid marching, Lu Qingyang and his team had entered the mountainous area in the southeast of Chao County. Masahiro Miyamoto also followed.

Lu Qingyang took out all the remaining anti-Japanese strength pills and other food to feed the troops, and built a position while eating, at this time the dog group was less than 40, and he also replenished a lot of sugar water and food, preparing to compete with the devil cavalry.

Masahiro Miyamoto also arranged for the soldiers to rest and prepare for the charge. In order to protect the war horse, Miyamoto Masahiro decided to let the war horse fully rest and attack after dark, because the horse can see at night.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the devil cavalry launched a surprise attack on the hill occupied by the two Wumu troops. Unexpectedly, halfway through, a group of dogs who also planned to attack were killed. Both sides encountered.

The cavalry target is large, and the dog group target is small, so naturally the devils are in the Ming and the Mu army is in the dark.

The well-trained dogs pounced on the team silently.

The warhorse is also very alert, and shows restless restlessness when aware of the threat. The dogs didn't care about that, they rushed up and bit the neck of the horse and didn't let go. The devil cavalry couldn't see the battle situation clearly at night, and they didn't dare to act rashly, so they suffered a dark loss.

Wu Mujun didn't dare to shoot for fear of hurting his dog, so he had to let the horse and the dog bite in the dark.

Masahiro Miyamoto ordered, regardless of the dogs, to attack at full speed and shake off these pesky vicious dogs. However, the dog that bites the horse's neck cannot shake it off in any way, let alone let the horse run.

Lu Qingniu, who led the sneak attack, saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he blew a silent whistle and commanded the dogs to retreat.

The departure of the dog herd relieved the devil cavalry, but forgot to be vigilant, the Wu Mu army surprise attack team and the devil were close at hand, Lu Qingniu blew the whistle, the 20 shotguns brought by the Wu Mu army fired along with other weapons, and the devil cavalry suffered heavy losses although they quickly withdrew.

The encounter formed a situation where the two sides were afraid ------ two sides of the wolf, and both sides withdrew their troops. Wu Mujun was on guard by the dogs and slept soundly all night, while the devils were worried about the sneak attack of the elusive dogs, and they spent the night in fear.

The next morning, the Wu Mu army was in full battle, but the devils were calm. Lu Qingyang, who didn't have much combat experience, didn't know what to do, and the company commander told him that the devil was waiting for a large army, but it didn't matter, he had already explored the road in the mountains behind, and if the devil's brigade came, he would retreat to the mountains.

In fact, the company commander's analysis is not entirely correct. Miyamoto Masahiro's cavalry plus the logistics troops of the cavalry team that caught up later, there are more than 300 people, and heavy machine guns, mortars and other heavy weapons are also in place, and the strength of the people on the opposite side is less than 200 people, there are no heavy weapons, the problem is that the war horses are frightened and dare not charge, and many war horses were injured last night. Miyamoto Masahiro could have used the cavalry as infantry and still had the strength to fight the Mumu army, but why did the infantry brigade behind consume valuable cavalry? Masahiro Miyamoto doesn't do stupid things!

Masahiro Miyamoto received an order to retreat. It turned out that the devil infantry brigade followed the cavalry unit closely for several days, making people sleepy but had to chase after it, but it was seized by the eastern part of Xu Hai of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, first sneaked up on the devil transport squadron, robbed a large number of supplies, and disabled a squadron in pursuit. guerrilla encirclement", the troops are likely to be consumed and eaten away little by little, and the analysis of the situation reported by Kurihara Shigee is very reasonable, and the other troops cannot be withdrawn, so an order to retreat is issued.

Wang Ziguang and Lu Qinghu evaded the pursuit of the devils, made a detour to meet Lu Qingyang, and then were taken in by the eastern part of Xu Hai. The search battalion failed to complete all the established combat tasks: it was originally planned to penetrate into the rear of the devils, attack and harass the devil's logistics troops, and relieve the pressure on the main force, but the actual situation was that under the pursuit of the devil's cavalry, it turned to battle all the way, attracting only a part of the devil's troops, and the other gains were to hone the troops, create new tactics, and capture slightly.

Liu Qinghe led the main force to jump out of the encirclement and turn into the outside line before the devils were encircled, but it was very difficult.

There are also a large number of ** troops in the countryside and market towns in the west, such as the Central Army, miscellaneous armies, advance armies from all walks of life, guerrillas, and local armed forces, but no one is willing to help Wu Mujun: the Central Army does not recognize the Wu Mu Army, and takes the attitude of either absorbing or getting out; The miscellaneous army is afraid that the famous Wu Mu army will attract devils; Some advance armies and guerrillas also wanted to annex Liu Qinghe's troops; The local armed forces feared that Liu Qinghe's troops would annex them......

Liu Qinghe became a flower child who had nowhere to ask for food, but fortunately, the troops had little savings: hundreds of catties of gold, silver and jewelry that they had not had time to hand over, and seized cans, biscuits, flashlights, batteries, military blankets, military uniforms, radios, and maps...... Dozens of carts of various supplies. Gold, silver and jewelry cannot be "exposed", which will attract the eyes of other forces and cause trouble; Weapons and ammunition cannot be sold, and those who lose their military forces; I exchanged military blankets and uniforms for some food supplies, and then sold some flashlights, dry batteries, and some precious medicinal materials...... Liu Qinghe laughed at himself as a loser who lived by pawns.

After receiving that Wang Ziguang and Lu Qinghu had settled in the east of Chao County, Liu Qinghe had the confidence to march overnight and find Wang Ziguang and Lu Qinghu.

A small mountainous area in the southeast of Chaoxian County was one of the bases of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and Commander Xu Haidong personally met with Wu Mujun and others. Liu Qinghe felt that the commander of the ** was very generous, and while thanking the New Fourth Army, he gave more than 100 rifles and pistols to Xu Haidong.

Xu Haidong didn't want it, saying that if he accepted these weapons at this time, he would take advantage of the fire to rob and lose his character. However, there is no objection to the cooperation of the two sides in several "sales".

There is a town of Wuliu in the southeast of Chao County, and a squadron was stationed outside the town by devils, which divided the mountainous base area of the New Fourth Army into two, making the New Fourth Army like a thorn in the flesh. The New Fourth Army attacked this stronghold several times without success. Because the stronghold of the devil is more special, the stronghold is composed of three parts: the south gate of Wuliu Town is the main stronghold, there are two pillboxes about 200 meters apart, each with a squad guard, the two pillboxes are built on the basis of caves, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is artillery support from the main stronghold behind, and the bunkers also provide machine gun fire for the main stronghold, and the three points support and echo each other, and the New Fourth Army is really like a fish in the throat and a mang in the back.

Liu Qinghe came back after seeing the terrain and replied to Xu Haidong that it would be done tonight, and in order to prevent the two sides from cooperating closely enough, Wu Mujun would send a company to complete it independently.

Xu Haidong was suspicious, he attacked 3 times with battalion-level troops and 1 attack with regiment-level troops, and each time he failed to succeed in a battle for several days and nights, and Wu Mujun could defeat it with a company? Xu Haidong was in the way of taking care of Liu Qinghe and his face, so he did not say it explicitly, only saying that the New Fourth Army would make the necessary preparations and provide support to the Wu Mu Army at any time.

At night, more than a dozen meteor thunderbolts flew into the main stronghold of the devils. This is the earth flying thunder invented by Liu Qinghe, which is specially used for arson. The devil's stronghold was on fire, and the devil was on guard and put out the fire at the same time, and finally after fighting the fire, another group of fire meteors flew in, and the devil put out the fire again. This time, the devils in the distant bunker strafed at the launch site of the earth flying mine, but the range and eyesight were limited, so they could only shoot blindly.

The devil repeatedly saved the fire 4 times, getting more and more sleepy, but he didn't know that the explosives were added to the soul-breaking incense. Liu Qinghe's desired effect was achieved, and he began to clean up the devils in the bunker.

Two groups of dogs got into the bunker and bit the devils, and Liu Qinghe's soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush in and deal with the devils. The two pillboxes appeared in the circle of light shaken by the flashlights, indicating that they had been occupied by the Wu Mu army, and the Wu Mu army on the periphery of the main stronghold launched an attack, blew open the gate, rushed into the stronghold, killed the sober and stubborn devils, tied up the confused devils, and solved the battle in 10 minutes!

Before dawn, Liu Qinghe asked Xu Haidong to take over the devil's stronghold. Xu Haidong also didn't sleep all night, knowing the progress of the battle at every moment, and at this time ordered his subordinate troops to guard the devils in other directions, a connection to the receiving point. The Wu Mu army captured a total of 152 devils, killed 56 people, captured 2 mortars, 6 heavy machine guns, 13 light machine guns, 9 grenadiers, 92 rifles, 24 pistols, 351 grenades, 11 horses, 5 carts, 4 binoculars, and a number of other materials.

Xu Haidong looked at the list of seizures, and handed back the list of materials to Liu Qinghe: "Captain Liu, you are still the commander of the independent battalion of the third detachment of the New Fourth Army, right?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Qinghe was baffled by Xu Haidong's question.

"Thanks to the support of the comrades of the third detachment, help us get rid of the stronghold in Wuliu Town, and all the seizures belong to the third detachment, I am afraid that Chief of Staff Zhang Yunyi will say that I am greedy for his subordinates!" Xu Haidong said seriously.

"Commander Xu, I am here in the name of the Su Wan Brigade of the Wumu Army Guerrilla Detachment to ask for a rest in your army's defense area, and it is appropriate to help your army a little, as for these materials, since it is a battle in your army's defense area, they should belong to your army!" Liu Qinghe was bent on returning the favor of the New Fourth Army.

Xu Haidong didn't want to owe Wu Mujun a favor, so he still suggested that it be dealt with according to the internal problems of the New Fourth Army, in fact, Xu Haidong needed weapons and equipment too much, but it was really embarrassing to pick up ready-made cheap ones like this.

In the end, Liu Qinghe didn't care about Xu Haidong's face: "Commander Xu, what do you think of my troops' equipment?" ”

"It's amazing, it's stronger than the devil's equipment!" Xu Haidong admitted.

"You see that we are more than 800 people, and it is useless to carry so many supplies, and my current material transportation team is not light!" Liu Qinghe "told the truth".

"As far as I know, you still have a lot of seizures that are buried, and they must be expanded, how can you say that they are cumbersome?" Xu Haidong does not accept this reason.

"Well, let's be honest with you! See those carts? Among them, there was a cart full of gold, silver, and jewelry, hundreds of catties; 2 carts of precious medicinal herbs; 23 radio stations, more than 800 flashlights, 60 boxes of dry batteries, 221 watches, pocket watches, 17 light machine guns, 230 Type 38 rifles, 11 grenadiers, 55 boxes of canned food, 23 boxes of biscuits, 9 boxes of milk powder, and, I can't remember, you know? We are from ** bandits, and our family background is thick! I didn't give them so many troops in the west, do you know why? They all want to calculate Lao Tzu, these soldiers are cowards to fight devils, and they are fighting hard in the nest, and they want to take advantage of my Lao Liu, but there is no door! You Lao Xu is different, dare to do it with devils, be benevolent and righteous to friends, these equipment can help you fight devils, not in vain! Look at your troops, half of them have to be without guns, the people recognize you, and it is easy to recruit troops and expand too quickly! Therefore, you lack equipment more than me, and these equipment belong to you! Liu Qinghe was in a hurry and explained everything to his family.

"Captain Liu, Qinghe, let's do it, I won't shirk it, I don't think you have heavy weapons, you take mortars and heavy machine guns, I have heavy machine guns and mortars!" Xu Haidong relented.

"Okay, leave half of the shells and heavy machine gun bullets for you!" Liu Qinghe fought righteously, forgetting that he didn't have heavy weapons yet, "Also, the devil clean-up team has withdrawn, you give me some veterans to help me grab the territory back!" Save yourself from letting someone else take possession! ”

"No problem, you can teach them to fight too! You are too thieves to fight! Xu Haidong sighed, "I'll give you the teaching team and let them open their eyes to you!" ”

Xu Haidong pondered for a moment: "Qinghe, how long do you plan to recover the territory?" ”

"Fast is 10 days, slow is half a month!" Liu Qinghe is full of confidence.

"Okay, I'll go with you too, study hard!" Xu Haidong said seriously.

"Don't dare to be a learner, let's communicate!" Liu Qinghe responded.

Liu Qinghe changed his tactics to attack the stronghold and pull out the artillery tower to show off to Xu Haidong, and it only took 8 days to recover all the lost land, and he also expanded a lot of territory.

Medicine attack: In the evening, a roast chicken seller "passed" under the devil's cannon and was robbed of 8 roast chickens by the devil. Half an hour later, Wu Mujun successfully captured the turret. They all complained that the devils were too greedy, and even ate roast chicken with sweat medicine, and the devils of a class were captured in a daze.

Attack: A mosquito coil seller is bold, and he actually took mosquito coils to sell to the devil, and the devil actually bought a lot, and really gave a lot of copper coins to sell mosquito coils. At night, Wu Mujun easily broke into the stronghold and captured a squad of devils.

Liu Qinghe was very generous, "Commander Xu, these devils are also yours!" ”

"I don't want it, I can't afford to raise the 152 devils you gave me!" Xu Haidong hurriedly excused himself, raising prisoners did cost food.

"Spending food to feed devils? You're fine, right? Liu Qinghe stayed with Xu Haidong for a few days, and he had already said everything.

"What then? It's too far to be escorted to the military headquarters, and it's hard to let the devils rob it back! "Xu Haidong really doesn't understand.

"Sold wow, a devil is at least 100 oceans!" Liu Qinghe is clear about this matter.

"How to sell it? Sell to whom? Xu Haidong was dizzy.

"There are several ways to sell: 1. Submit it to the Commander's Department of the Fifth Theater and ask for a reward; Like those more than 150 devils, make a report, the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army won a great victory in Wuliuzhen, captured 3 points, killed 190 people, captured 152 Japanese soldiers, captured a number of weapons, and rewarded you at least 10,000 oceans. Second, sell it to the ** troops, let them receive merit, at least 100 oceans per captive, if it is a defeated army, sell it to him for 300 oceans! ”

"Why?" Xu Haidong didn't understand.

"Fools, the troops who have suffered the defeat hand over the prisoners shows that they are also desperate, and they are the most willing to spend money!" Liu Qinghe has become fine, "But they can't buy too much, the retail price of 300 oceans is not a trick, and the 152 can only be wholesaled!" ”

Liu Qinghe's in-depth explanation that Xu Haidong is not a fool, and he has opened his mind like an enlightenment.

Decoy. Early in the morning, a soldier of the Wumu Army put on women's clothes and dug wild vegetables outside the devil's turret. The devil quietly ran out and two people touched the "flower girl". Wu Mujun, who was hidden in the pit outside the turret, quickly rushed into the turret......

Storm. Wu Mu set up mortars and heavy machine guns, and the infantry approached the turrets with the help of canals, ditches, and trees. After the devil found out, he began to shoot, the infantry of the Wumu Army raised the steel pot to cover and continued to advance, the heavy machine gun suppressed the devil's firepower, several infantry used shotguns to block the devil's shooting hole, and the other infantry put the long bamboo pole on the trench, threw the steel pot into the trench, stepped on the floating steel pot, supported the long bamboo pole to cross the trench, and stuffed the grenade into the turret...... Take!

Dog attack. As soon as the devil patrol walked out of the turret, a group of dogs rushed up and bit the devils, the devils retreated to the turret, and the dogs poured into the turret together, and Wu Mujun took advantage of the situation to rush into the turret......

Xu Haidong's eyes were wide open, and he was still unsatisfied, but he still hurriedly returned to his base, his family still had to live, and 10,000 oceans could not be earned!

Liu Qinghe recaptured the base area, and with the help of instructors sent by Chen Yi and Xu Haidong, he mobilized the common people to recruit troops and horses, and the number of people quickly expanded to nearly 4,000; After Hu Zhaoyue's personal training, the female dependents who were sent back to Xishan for training formed a female team of more than 20 people with super combat power and returned to Jiangbei; Liu Qinghe's strength increased dramatically, and he became a hegemon in Jiangbei among many forces.
