Book friends canvassed votes, and there were more than 20,000 clicks this week, and there was still a change on Monday.

Wan Zixiong stationed in the Yangcheng Lake area because it was close to the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway and the terrain was complex, which was convenient for the troops to gather and disperse. There is an endless supply of materials next to the railway, and the devils cannot show their troops if the terrain is complicated.

Yangcheng Lake has long been the territory of the Wumu caravan, most of the aquatic products of Yangcheng Lake are underwritten by the Wumu caravan, and many daily necessities are also supplied by the Wumu caravan, and Wan Zixiong's arrival is very smooth. Wan Zixiong spent a month arranging for the troops to train swimming, rowing, taking into account helping local fishermen to fish, hunting (geese, wild ducks and other water birds), collecting lotus roots, water chestnuts, and familiarizing himself with water operations, terrain and terrain use while integrating into the common people.

Liujiaji is the largest village in the surrounding villages, and is close to the highway and railway on the edge of the lake area, so it has formed a relatively prosperous market town, with a population of about 2 or 3,000, and the streets are relatively wide.

After being looted several times in the early days of the devil's occupation, with the change of the devil's occupation strategy, Liu Jiaji basically returned to normal order, but the devils stationed nearby occasionally harassed him, but it was just a slight incident such as eating overlord meals, playing drunk, and molesting women, and there was no very outrageous behavior; The town also paid taxes and grain on time under the auspices of the town mayor Li Taiping, and basically got along with the devils.

Li Taiping is in his 40s, a local family, and for the peace and security of the local people, he endured humiliation and became the mayor appointed by the devil. When the devil first occupied, Liu Jiaji had some ruffian bullies, declining literati and some unsatisfactory people all wanted to be the mayor of this town, which gave Li Taiping a lot of problems and added a lot of trouble, and later was cleared by the admonition of the Wu Mu caravan, Li Taiping sat firmly in the position of the mayor, and now Li Taiping is completely a member of Wu Mujun.

This day is the gathering day of Liujiaji. Wan Zixiong also came with a few guards to join in the fun. Wan Zixiong didn't deliberately put on makeup, he just wore civilian clothes, and the shell gun was openly carried on his shoulder, as did a few guards, but the local people were also used to it.

Devils also come to shop. A devil Cao Chang took 4 devil soldiers, 1 pistol, and 4 rifles to walk leisurely from the west exit of the street. The devil Cao Chang had a lustful posture, his eyes turned to the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, and he was still groping and pinching the women, while the women dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and the other 4 devil soldiers laughed and coaxed, picking up the cooked food and fruits of the vendors and filling them in their mouths.

Wan Zixiong was furious at first sight, and forced a few devils to look. The devil Cao Chang was startled when he encountered Wan Zixiong's murderous gaze, and then walked over as if nothing had happened. Wan Zixiong smiled coldly, and a few guards followed a few devils with understanding.

The devil Cao Chang whispered to his subordinates, asking them to suddenly turn around and take down the person who was carrying a shell gun. Several devils suddenly turned around and shot at Cao Chang's command, but the fist shadow in front of them was knocked unconscious.

There was a big chaos in the bazaar, and Wan Zixiong stood up and shouted: "Don't mess up!" The crowd immediately fell silent, and Wan Zixiong announced loudly: "I'll talk to a few imperial soldiers about something, what should you do!" "The market is buzzing again.

A few devils woke up and saw Wan Zixiong staring at them viciously, and they couldn't help but feel furious. Wan Zixiong asked in Japanese, "Which unit are you from?" ”

"You are?" The devil Cao Chang was confused.

Wan Zixiong threw the certificate of the special high class in front of the devil Cao Chang.

The devil Cao Chang immediately became respectful and saluted: "Aomori-kun, please take care of me!" ”

"Baga, how did you become a Cao Chang? Take the lead in breaking military discipline and want to join the gendarmerie? ”

Wan Zixiong's voice was full of emotion, and he slapped the devil Cao Chang a few big mouths fiercely.

"Hello!" The devil Cao Chang can only be beaten.

"Which unit are you from?"

"Railroad garrison." The devil Cao Chang replied obediently.

"Which stronghold to the west?"

"Yes!"

"Who's the Stronghold Chief? What rank? ”

"I'm the Colony Commander!" The devil Cao Chang replied with a salute.

"You've been dismissed, follow me back to the base to go through the handover procedures!" Wan Zixiong was secretly happy in his heart, the supreme commander of the stronghold was Cao Chang, so at most there would be a reinforcement squad.

Wan Zixiong escorted 5 devils who had surrendered their guns to the stronghold, and on the way, he asked the guards to take 4 ducks from a cooked food stall, and also carried away the spice bucket, of course, adding sweat medicine. The vendors who sold the ducks were the people of the Wumu caravan.

Wan Zixiong and others entered the stronghold and announced that the head of the devil Cao would be removed from his post and that a military Cao would act as the commander. Then he took out the duck very humanely, ordered the devil to chop it open, poured seasoning, one for each person, a glass of sake, and gave it to their chief. Wan Zixiong, on the other hand, did not participate in the "dinner" on the grounds that they had already eaten.

Soon the 26 devils were confused. Wan Zixiong and the others quickly tied up the devil and cleaned up the supplies with the personnel who came to pick them up. 1 mortar, 80 shells, 1 heavy machine gun, 6 boxes of 3,240 bullets, 2 light machine guns, 10 boxes of 6,000 rounds of ammunition, 16 rifles, 10 boxes of grenades, 2 grenades, 120 grenades, 6 pistols, 6 knives, 30 sets of gas masks, 10 boxes of canned food, 10 boxes of biscuits, more than 1,000 pounds of food, telescopes, maps, toolboxes......

These materials are nothing to Wan Zixiong, who has made a fortune, and he is a little unsatisfied. Coincidentally, the phone at the stronghold rang, Wan Zixiong picked up the phone, and the station in front informed him that the military train had departed, and it was estimated that it would pass in about 30 minutes, and asked the stronghold to do a good job of answering and ensuring the safety of the military train.

Wan Zixiong immediately gave an order, and the troops gathered and prepared to hijack the train! This is the job that Wan Zixiong loves to do!

After giving the order, Wan Zixiong arranged for the guards to loosen the screws of the rails with tools, pry open the seams of the rails, and the receivers left mortars and heavy machine guns to pull away the loot and prisoners, and waited for the devil train.

The devil train not only derailed, but also knocked down the turret next to the railway, and the devils who escorted the train consciously all died one by one, without letting Wan Zixiong bother.

Wan Zixiong first arranged a cordon: a company used the train carriage as a cover to build a fire position; Two companies with heavy shotguns went out separately to hide, preparing to block the devil's ironclad reinforcements; Other units organize unloading and transportation.

4 wagons of oil, rolled into the lake, and rushed to the river in the deep lake area by fishing boats; 1 carriage of drugs and medical equipment and 16 motorcycles, transported away; 2 carriages of military uniforms, rain gear, lanterns, flashlights, dry batteries, transported by carts; 1 wagon of weapons and equipment, 2 wagons of ammunition, because the guns were still coated with gun oil and needed to be disposed of, were transported away in advance with carts and fishing boats, leaving 12 mortars and 12 infantry guns to urgently remove the gun oil and put into the fire position......

Wan Zixiong was in full swing to prepare to block the attack and dispose of the loot, and the railway garrison of the devils also sent 3 ironclad cars, and 7 or 800 devils rushed to the accident site.

The rescued devils arrived 3 kilometers east of the accident site and were caught off guard by Wan Zixiong's blocking forces. A dense stream of locust-like grenades flew towards the devil's marching procession, mixed with dozens of anti-tank grenades flew towards armored vehicles.

The devils who were attacked were not in chaos and quickly blocked them on the spot with guns. The fierce firepower of a company of 9 light machine guns, 9 grenade machine guns, and 26 Qiguang submachine guns made the devil retreat 8 or 900 meters before he stabilized his position.

Only one of the Devil's armored vehicles was destroyed, and the other two covered the Devil's infantry to retreat a few hundred meters away, and then reorganize the counterattack.

Wan Zixiong's troops had no heavy weapons, not even heavy machine guns, so they had to ask Wan Zixiong for help while blocking the attack. Under the combined fire of the devil's infantry artillery, heavy machine guns and ironclad vehicles, the soldiers of the Wumu Army did not have time to build fortifications, so they could only disperse in individual bunkers to resist.

The devil's ironclad car relied on the iron armor to cover and drove directly into the flat paddy field to cover the devil's infantry to enter the Wumu army's blocking position.

The devil really didn't understand the tactics of the Wu Mu army, so he automatically gave up the advantage of heavy firepower and started a melee with the Wu Mu army, which had the advantage of light firepower.

Wu Mujun's light machine guns, strange lights, and grenade machine guns brought into full play their melee firepower, and they did not fall behind in the face of the devil infantry several times their size, and several shotgunmen also beat the devil ironclad car out of flames, which became the fire support point of Wu Mujun.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the devil finally couldn't support it anymore and began to retreat. Wu Mujun understood that once the distance was widened, the devil's infantry artillery and heavy machine guns would give full play to their advantages, and Wu Mujun would become only capable of parrying and had no power to fight back, so he pursued and killed in one go, and it happened that the reinforcements of two infantry guns and two mortars sent by Wan Zixiong also arrived, and they immediately entered the battle.

Now that he has become a devil, he can only parry and has no power to fight back, and retreats to a nearby stronghold. Wu Mujun did not give up, continued to shell the devil's stronghold, and put on a posture of not giving up. In fact, although the Wumu army was supported by artillery fire, the number of infantry was less than 80 people, and it was no longer able to attack in the face of the strongholds occupied by 3 or 400 devils, and it was just to buy time for the troops to deal with supplies.

The devil also jumped over the wall in a hurry, and a large group of devils rushed directly to the accident site by train, so that the Wu Mu army that blocked the attack had no choice but to retreat to the base area south of the railway, waiting for an opportunity to beat the devil's ass on the outer line.

Thousands of tons of supplies are not so easy to transfer. Wan Zixiong, who regarded money as his life, gave priority to the evacuation of expensive medicines on motorcycles, and gave priority to the transportation of weapons and ammunition by carts and fishing boats, and then transported military uniforms, raincoats, and other military supplies, but the unorganized people took advantage of the fire to loot and loot the rice of the six wagons, and the scene was chaotic. Wan Zixiong knew that the devil's reinforcements would arrive soon, and although he was anxious, he could only watch with a wry smile.

When the devil's troop train arrived, Wan Zixiong was transporting the last batch of supplies, while the common people were still desperately carrying rice that didn't cost money.

Wan Zixiong commanded the troops to drop the supplies and cover the retreat of the people on the spot.

20 infantry guns and mortars bombed indiscriminately, whether they were accurate or not, and still forced the devils back more than 1,000 meters, and the people also ran clean at this time, leaving only some wounded and corpses.

Wan Zixiong now has only five companies and two platoons in his hands, and excluding the troops who transport and take care of supplies, less than three companies can participate in the battle. Wan Zixiong is not the master of the stubborn fight, he can immediately hide in the river and the devil in a circle, but there are a large number of materials that have not been settled in the back, and the people who robbed the devil's materials are not ready to be retaliated against, so he has to be hard topped, but fortunately, there are still 20 artillery pieces to support.

Wan Zixiong regretted it very much, how did he turn the guerrilla warfare he was best at into a defensive war? At this time, Wang Libo, the commander of the 4th company under his command, proposed that it was better to take advantage of the devil's unstable foothold and fight him a tough battle with offense as defense!

This bold suggestion was very appealing to Wan Zixiong, and he ordered Wang Libo to lead 4 companies with 4 mortars to take the initiative to attack, and other infantry guns and mortars to provide fire cover.

After retreating a certain distance, the devils began to organize a counterattack: building artillery positions, heavy machine gun positions, and infantry positions, observing and aiming artillery fire, setting up shooting Zhuyuan, and covering the artillery fire of the people who were not guarded against it, although there was no order, but the firepower was intensive, and it still caused many casualties.

With the help of artillery support, Wang Libo quickly approached the devil's position, followed the approaching mortars also found the devil's heavy machine gun position and began to bomb, while the infantry rushed up with light machine guns, grenade machine guns, Qiguang-type, and 38-type rifles to fight the devils in close combat.

Seeing that the number of Wumu troops attacking was small, the devil thought that these crazy people were tantamount to suicide, so he sent 4 squadrons of infantry to attack the Wumu army.

This group of devils miscalculated again: a brigade of small arms of the devil has 36 light machine guns and 36 grenadier canisters, and all the others are 38 rifles, while a company of Wu Mujun has 9 light machine guns, 26 Qiguang submachine guns, and 9 grenade machine guns, which are not much worse than the firepower of the devils, but the Qiguang type and grenade machine guns are light assault firepower, and they have an advantage in the sports attack, so they are on a par with the devils, and the devils' most powerful heavy machine guns are useless in the melee and become a live target for mortar shells. The devil's infantry artillery was indiscriminately punched by Wu Mujun, and the 16 guns that killed the old master were indiscriminately blown into parts.

Although the devils fought more and less, they also had a slight upper hand, and more than 100 people surrounded Wu Mujun with 7 or 800 people, and Wu Mujun's strength was somewhat inadequate.

Seeing that the reinforcements had the upper hand, the Devil Railway Garrison, which had retracted into the stronghold, also rushed out to find a field, but was beaten back by another strange soldier.

A guard platoon of Wan Zixiong protected infantry artillery and mortars to reinforce the previous group of blocking troops. When the blocking force turned into a pursuit force and chased the Devil Railway Garrison into the stronghold, the people of the guard platoon were excited when they saw the paralyzed ironclad car, they had learned to drive armored cars from Wan Zixiong.

After some fiddling, the two movable ironclad cars became trophies for the guard platoon. But the rest of the troops were nowhere to be found. Don't be afraid, with these two iron guys to protect you, no one in the guard platoon cares! More than a dozen riflemen got into the ironclad car, others tied themselves to the pedals, side walls, and roof of the ironclad car, the light machine gun was mounted on the roof of the car, the side was a strange light type, the roof was a grenade machine gun in the middle of the car, and inside the car were three heavy machine guns that came with the ironclad car. The guard platoon happily prepared to spank the ass of the devil in front.

It was a pure encounter with the devils of the railway garrison, but the guard platoon was mechanized, and the two ironclad cars were fighting with guns, and the devils had to retreat to the stronghold.

The guard platoon saw that the artillery positions behind the devils were scattered, the heavy machine gun positions were still firing occasionally, and the devils of the transport team were running forward and backward to deliver ammunition, and waved to them, probably thinking that they were their own people.

The guard platoon didn't care about 3721, and took down the devil transport team with a burst of random fire, leaving a few infantry to drive the cart away, and the others attacked the heavy machine gun position.

For the guard platoon that rushed to the front, the defense of the heavy machine gun position was useless, and 8 heavy machine guns were pocketed by the guard platoon, and the muzzle of the gun was turned and fired at the headquarters of the devil brigade.

The devils who were attacked by the enemy on their backs lost their heavy firepower and command headquarters one after another, and the result could only be a rout.

Wan Zixiong won this battle by luck, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, the devil would definitely take revenge madly. On the one hand, he reported to the detachment commander He Laifu, requested corresponding weapons and equipment, and at the same time sent people to collect the spoils of war, on the other hand, he blatantly expanded his territory and increased the room for maneuver.

Wan Zixiong, who had 24 artillery pieces, had a lot of money, and he armed the captured 24 heavy machine guns, sent 3 companies, and uprooted the devil strongholds that were in the way one by one, and took 24 strongholds in 5 days, expanding the base area several times, including almost all the eastern suburbs of Suzhou and the southern suburbs of Changshu.

With the help of instructors from the New Fourth Army, Wan Zixiong recruited more than 2,000 recruits in a few days. Fortunately, He Laifu sent a company to send a batch of hard crossbows, meteor flying thunder, and a batch of medicines and oil.

Jiang Kang, who was around Shanghai, also sent people to contact and agreed to deal with each other. Wan Zixiong endured the pain and sent Jiang Kang 4 heavy machine guns, 12 light machine guns, 120 rifles, 40 pistols, 20 boxes of grenades, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Wan Zixiong understood that the friendly army was also unprofitable and could not afford to be early, so he was willing to help after taking the benefits. Jiang Kang, the full name of the Jiangnan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, is the 6th Regiment under Chen Yi and some local anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Jiangsu combined troops, the equipment is not complete, the combat power is not uniform, the organization is not strict, but they are all enthusiastic young people who are dedicated to resisting Japan, so Wan Zixiong despite the difficulties of rapid expansion of his troops and tight equipment, or helped Jiang Kang, of course, Wan Zixiong out of concern for Chen Yi's subordinates.

Wan Zixiong's biggest headache is the nervousness of the soldiers. More than 2,000 recruits were useless, and veteran training was scored; On the south side of the railway, that is, in the eastern suburbs of Suzhou, a battalion was deployed, with more than 500 people occupying 13 strongholds and 3 market towns with a radius of nearly 1,000 square kilometers; A battalion is stationed in the Yangcheng Lake base area, which is responsible for arming, guarding materials, and training recruits; A battalion is stationed in the southern suburbs of Changshu north of Yangcheng Lake, occupying 11 strongholds, 2 market towns, and nearly 1,000 square kilometers of ground; The level of artillery is too low, and the artillery is basically blind, and there is no accuracy at all; The troops are weak, but fortunately, the guard company has two ironclad vehicles, which can be urgently reinforced at critical times.

The devil knows how many supplies there are on the train: not counting oil, food, and medicine, the weapons and equipment alone include 12 infantry guns, 12 mortars, 24 heavy machine guns, 72 light machine guns, 1,600 rifles, more than 10,000 grenades, 72 grenadiers, more than 5,000 grenades, flares, incendiary bombs, 2,000 artillery shells, heavy weapons and equipment of two wings, light weapons and equipment of two brigades, plus the recent attrition of the railway garrison brigade and the field infantry brigade and the surrounding strongholds. The Wu Mu Army has already captured the equipment of a wing, and in addition to the Wu Mu Army's own powerful firepower, no brigade or regiment can no longer help the Wu Mu Army guerrillas, and it is necessary to study the combat plan in detail to eliminate this unit. Damn, is this still a guerrilla?

The devil overestimated Wan Zixiong's guerrillas and didn't dare to make a move, but he didn't know that Wan Zixiong had equipment, but there were no soldiers available.
