Base. Lu Qinghu, who was recuperating from his wounds, came to Liu Qinghe and asked to gather the brothers of the Lu family class who were scattered in various companies to re-train recruits.

Liu Qinghe disagreed: "No, the second battalion has just suffered a heavy setback, and all companies are short of manpower, you asked me to pull people out, should I be the captain?" ”

"How are the brothers of the Lu family class?" Lu Qinghu asked.

"Yes, they're good soldiers! Now it's all the hard hands of the companies! Liu Qinghe was sincerely admired.

"Are they obedient? Do you honestly follow the training and become literate?" Lu Qinghu is not afraid to expose his shortcomings.

"It's true, the soldiers of the Lu family class are all as virtuous as you, and they have two hits, and no one is convinced, and they are very angry!" Liu Qinghe also admitted.

"There are a total of 88 people in the Lujia class now, you gather for me, and I will return you 88 good soldiers!" What Lu Qinghu said was clueless, but Liu Qinghe heard a little meaning: "How do you say it?"

"This time I was ambushed, Qin Liangyun and the brothers of the guard squad were all killed in order to cover our Lujia class, and I knew what a good soldier is! I want all the brothers in the Lujia class to know what a good soldier is! ”

"What do you think makes a good soldier?" Liu Qinghe guided Lu Qinghu to continue.

"Good kung fu is not necessarily a good soldier, a soldier who is willing to die to complete the order is a good soldier, Brother Qin, they are just to complete the order to protect us, rush out to block the bullet for us, they are good soldiers!" Lu Qinghu panted with excitement.

"Reasonable! I'll give you three days, and you'll give me 88 good soldiers!" Liu Qinghe seemed to see 88 good soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.

On the first day, there was no training, only the brothers of the Lujiaban who participated in the battle talked about the battle, the guard squad to block bullets for their people, and the soldiers of the Wumu Army who regarded death as if they were at home in order to complete the task......

On the second day, the Lujiaban soldiers and recruits practiced subjects, and the rules and regulations were like a rainbow, which amazed Liu Qinghe and others and the veterans. In the evening, everyone in the Lujia class sat in front of the literacy instructor in a serious manner.

On the third day, Liu Qinghe announced that 88 people from the second battalion and the Lujia squad would form a search battalion, with Wang Ziguang, the commander of the second battalion, as the commander and the ten brothers of the Lu family as the deputy squad leader.

After half a month of training, the search battalion soldiers were strong and strong, and even the liger dogs were trained in special subjects and were ready to show their skills.

The traffic rules of the devils are to drive on the left, so the north bank of the Yangtze River is full of downward boats, most of which are plundered strategic materials: gold, silver, jewelry, copper, tungsten sand, medicinal materials, tung oil, silk, cotton and other things, as well as the ashes of the dead soldiers and the wounded.

For Liu Qinghe's harassment and looting, the devils were overwhelmed and set up minefields to save troops.

Lu Qinghu, under the guidance of his dog Golden Lion, easily passed through the minefield of the devils, hid by the river, and set up a transport ship waiting for the devils with meteors and thunders.

A gunboat approached, and Lu Qinghu spared it. Once the devil gunboat returned fire, Lu Qinghu would have a minefield behind him, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

A merchant ship arrived. Lu Qinghu smiled, that's it!

The broken fishing nets at the bottom of the river entangled the propellers of the merchant ships, and two meteor lightning bolts hit the cockpit and the engine covers of the rear deck of the merchant ships, and the merchant ships circled in the river.

Four small boats rowed over, first with a grenade, then climbed onto the boat, threw a few ropes to the shore with a crossbow, and pulled the boat cable across the river, tied one end of the boat to a high place, and then the supplies slid along the cable to the river bank. A little farther away, the Wu Mu army's transport team used logs to wade out of the minefield, and the supplies were continuously transported to Liu Qinghe's base area.

Every time a ship was hijacked, Liu Qinghe was very unhappy. What he wanted most was arms, but every time he came back was either gold, silver, jewelry, broken copper, iron, bottles and cans. It also had to take the trouble to transport it back to Xishan, and then transport weapons and equipment back from Xishan. It's too much trouble!

Lu Qinghu robbed the boat a few times and was very excited to fall in love with this business. However, the golden lion injured his hind leg in a mission, which made Lu Qinghu very annoyed, and he wanted the devil to pay for the golden lion's medical expenses!

He asked the company commander to destroy the devil's minefield. I made a batch of barbs with tree branches and tied them to the rope, and the squad leader took one of my squad and wooden lions to the edge of the minefield, threw out the barbs, and then pulled them back with the rope to detonate the mines, destroying the devil's minefield for several miles in one day, and on both sides there were company commanders with other squad platoons to block and send reinforcements.

The next day, the company commander sent a platoon to clear mines, and the other two platoons were responsible for blocking and sending reinforcements, and destroyed more than ten miles of minefields for devils.

On the third day, the wooden lion found that the devil was in ambush. The company commander ordered the riflemen and machine gunners to retreat 200 meters and take cover, and the company's nine grenade machine guns fired six shots at the devil's ambush position, and then retreated under the cover of the Qiguang submachine guns and returned to the base area for dinner.

The devil's patrols and mine formations did not work, and patrol boats were used to patrol the river. Liu Qinghe arranged for the search team to rest for a while, and sent flying thunderers to practice target shooting under the cover of infantry, and the target was the patrol boat of the devils.

In the face of Liu Qinghe's unrelenting attacks and sabotage, the devils were angry and devastated, and they were determined to completely solve the problem of Wu Mujun's henchmen, and sent the Kurihara Chongjiang Brigade to clear all the Chinese troops north of the Yangtze River to Chaohu in the section from Wuhu to Tongling to ensure the safety of the Yangtze River waterway.

Liu Qinghe synthesized all aspects of the news, and judged that the devil's action was not small, he was far away from the West Mountain, and it was inconvenient to contact the friendly army around him (across the Yangtze River from Wang Yilang's army) or the friendly army was not reliable (the Central Army, the miscellaneous army, the local troops, the New Fourth Army), and he could not fight hard with the devils, and all the main forces retreated to the west, and the devils guerrilla, if the devils chased closely, they would retreat into the western mountains; Leaving the search battalion interspersed behind the enemy, attacking and harassing the baggage troops in the rear of the devils, and retreating to Jiangnan as a last resort to join Wang Yilang's department.

The devil soldiers divided into two routes, starting from the opposite banks of Wuhu and Tongling respectively, pointing directly at Chaohu Lake, surrounding the predetermined area into a triangle, and then squeezing the Chinese army in the area.

The search camp, under the guidance of the liger dog, was divided into 5 routes, and the devils on the east road went head-on, but they passed by and jumped to the outside line.

There are 3 infantry brigades, an artillery squadron, a communications squadron, a transport squadron, and a cavalry search team, and the 10-kilometer-wide search formation is easily interspersed by the Wumu Army search battalion, which relies on the liger dog's sensitive sense of hearing and smell.

However, there are pros and cons, the liger is really the king of dogs Tibetan mastiff, so the surrounding wild dogs, domestic dogs have come to run, follow the king of dogs, reaching hundreds, to the search camp brought great inconvenience, one is that the target is too big, easy to expose the whereabouts of the team, the other is that the dog also has to eat, the logistics pressure is too great.

Battalion commander Wang Ziguang called Lu Qinghu and others to discuss how to solve this problem. Some company platoon commanders thought that it was good to take these dogs with them, and if necessary, they could be used as war food, and a few of them could be slaughtered for meat to scare away these wild dogs.

Lu Qinghu was furious: "No, these dogs are the people of the liger dogs, who has ever seen the king eat and drive away his own people?" ”

"We eat it, not the liger dog!" A platoon commander explained.

"That's not good, you slaughter the people of the liger, and the liger can still give you your life?" Lu Qinghu insisted.

This reason is very sufficient, everyone has to rely on the liger to lead the way to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one dares to provoke the liger.

"Then our search camp can't be turned into a dog camp, right?" Wang Ziguang's problem is still unsolved, and it is a very real problem.

"I think so, make the best use of everything, let's use these dogs to fight with devils, how about it?" Now Lu Qinghu has also recognized a lot of words, and he has also developed the habit of chewing words.

"What's the fight?" As soon as the new tactics were mentioned, everyone became interested.

"I don't know the bottom either, I have to see the situation of the dogs first!" Lu Qinghu was a little vague.

"Hurry up and do it!" Wang Ziguang made a quick decision.

Lu Qinghu immediately took the ten brothers to study and tam.

After dark, the ten brothers of the Lu family came to the battalion commander: "Report to the battalion commander, it's done!" ”

"Okay, there's a squadron of devils 10 miles away, you guys will try it today?" The battalion commander is really resolute.

"A squadron is not very graspable, it is better to be a squad, or we will not be able to get out of it if we don't get entangled with the devils!" Lu Qinghu now knows to be cautious.

"Let the dogs and devils pinch it, let's withdraw ours!"

"No, you betrayed the dog this time, and the dog will take revenge on you! Battalion commander, I know dogs better than you, dogs understand human nature, how you treat it, it will treat you, dogs are most of the main force of our search battalion, don't forget to ask that dog to be a comrade-in-arms and a brother, he will never abandon you! Lu Qinghu told the battalion commander about the "Dog Sutra".

Wang Ziguang also understood that dogs' loyalty to people is also conditional and mutual.

"You're far away, tell you, the devil squadron is camped separately according to the squad, you are only responsible for the squad by the puddle, and I will lead the team to give you warning and reinforcements!" Wang Ziguang is worthy of being the battalion commander, he responds very quickly and makes decisions immediately.

At night, the Golden Lion, the Earth Lion, the Water Tiger, and the Wooden Tiger, 4 dog kings who had been injured in the battle with the devils, took a group of earth dogs to the devil's camp. The Tibetan mastiff is a vengeful animal, so it is ideal for the injured dog king to lead the team.

With a scream, there was chaos in the devil's camp, and people shouted and barked and howled, and the sound penetrated for ten miles. The other two squads did not know why, so they sent communication troops to investigate, and were stabbed to death by the lurking troops outside.

Seeing that the communication soldiers hadn't come back for a long time, the devil knew that something was wrong, so he fired a flare to observe the situation, and Wu Mujun hid in the paddy field motionless, stunned and didn't let the devil find out.

The leader of the devil squadron is very experienced, and immediately gathered two squads and rushed to the camp where the accident occurred. Wang Ziguang had expected the devil's hand, and resolutely sent reinforcements, not allowing Lu Qinghu and them to suffer from the enemy.

Wang Ziguang has long known that the victory is in his hands: the firepower will not suffer, there are more people and fewer people, and if he has no intention of calculating, if he can't win, he, the battalion commander, will not do it. There is no problem on Lu Qinghu's side, there are more than 100 people in a company, plus 100 dogs, and a team of more than 50 people, it should be no problem.

After dawn, Wang Ziguang came to Lu Qinghu's battlefield with the trophies, and many veterans who had been in a hundred battles couldn't help but close their eyes.

The corpse of the devil and the corpse of the dog were mixed together, and the corpse of the devil was covered with bruises, his face was frightened, and there was blood everywhere, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a human or a dog's internal organs......

"Bandage the wounded dogs, bury the dogs' corpses, they are also my soldiers!" Wang Ziguang burst into tears.

In this battle, 11 soldiers were killed and 9 were slightly wounded, all of whom were blocking the reinforcements, and Lu Qinghu's troops killed 19 dogs and wounded 31, and completely annihilated a squadron of devils.

Shigee Kurihara, the commander of the Devil Brigade, personally inspected the scene of the tragedy and realized that the "ghost beast" unit had reappeared! Immediately send a cavalry search team to track the dog's footprints, bite tightly, and must destroy this "ghost beast" force and dispel the fear of the troops, otherwise this battle will not be able to go down.

The search team of the devil cavalry followed the dog's footprints in fear, but when they saw the position of the Chinese army in the distance, they immediately turned their horses and attacked the past. They would rather fight the Chinese army and fight to the death than deal with "ghosts and beasts".

The devil's war horse rushed to the position of the Chinese army not far away, and a cavalry massacre of the infantry was about to begin. Suddenly, many flexible figures sprang out of the rice fields and grass at the front of the Chinese army, and they were dogs, ordinary earth dogs, who jumped up and bit the neck of the war horse and did not let go. The high-speed galloping war horse was bitten and fell by the dog, the center of gravity was unstable, and they fell down one after another, and Wu Mujun took advantage of the situation to rush and kill.

At this time, the devil cavalry was not in a weak position, and they could still fight to the death with the Wumu army, but 10 huge "ghost beasts" rushed out, and the frightened war horses were also trembling and hesitating, and some of the war horses were already so frightened that they peed, and the 10 "ghost beasts" completely changed the situation of the war.

The devils who can still run on the war horse quickly evacuated. The evacuated devils withdrew a certain distance and found that there were still more than 90 war horses, and only 30 war horses were lost, but the cavalry lost more than 50 people. The unwilling devil search captain planned to launch another attack to save some face, but the war horse said that he would not charge, helpless, helpless, really helpless!

The devil cavalry was inexplicably defeated, so they had to go back and report to Kurihara Shigee to alleviate the guilt of defeat.

The officers and men of the combat search battalion all found their senses, and they were all very friendly to these native dogs, and even arranged the dog food before the troops ate, and as for the arrogant lion and tiger dogs, no one paid attention to them except for the people from the Lu family class. Wang Ziguang fully realized the importance of dogs in the search battalion, and made an exception to promote Lu Qinghu to deputy battalion commander, and other Lu brothers were also promoted to deputy platoon commanders and deputy company commanders. As for the captured weapons, in addition to replenishing ammunition, leaving light machine guns and grenadiers, other weapons were buried on the spot, and after the captured war horses were subdued by the dogs, they completely lost the spirit of the war horses, and could only be used as pack horses, one horse for each squad, and the provisions for each squad.

Kurihara Shigee was deflated, sent all the cavalry, and transferred Miyamoto Masahiro to lead the team to track down the "ghost beast army" of the Wumu army, followed by an infantry brigade. Masahiro Miyamoto has dealt with the "Ghost Beast Force", and has been studying the "Ghost Beast" for a while, and he has some experience, which poses a threat to the search battalion.

Miyamoto Masahiro led two squadrons of cavalry, followed by the dog feces left by the search battalion, and bit the search camp tightly, he found that the types and quantities of dog feces had increased a lot, most of them were the dog feces of local native dogs, which made Miyamoto Masahiro feel puzzled, combined with the situation of being attacked by the "ghost beasts", he thought that the people of China had a large dog group, and there were many local native dogs. So, make a plan accordingly.

After being chased by the devils for two days, the search battalion exhausted eastward to the west bank of the Yangtze River, and had no choice but to move to the northwest of Chaoxian County, where there is a small mountainous area, and with its geographical advantages, it may be possible to maneuver with the devils.

The search battalion is not afraid of the devil cavalry, but is afraid of the brigade of infantry behind the cavalry, once it is entangled by the cavalry, the infantry will surround the search battalion, so there is no way to follow the ghost cavalry.

Wang Ziguang called Lu Qinghu to discuss with several company platoon commanders. Lu Qinghu knew that the devil was tracking dog feces, but those earth dogs couldn't restrain them, so they could only let them defecate anywhere.

Lu Qingyang proposed that he lead the dogs to lead away the devil cavalry and cover the retreat of the search battalion, at least he could win some rest time for the search battalion.

Wang Ziguang was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as he could lead away the devils, it was not a question of covering the retreat, but whether he could destroy the devil cavalry.

Miyamoto Masahiro's cavalry could have easily bitten the Wu Mu army, but they didn't dare to go too far from the infantry brigade behind, the task of the cavalry team was to track rather than fight a decisive battle, the Imperial Japanese Army would not send the precious cavalry to fight with a group of Chinese dogs, otherwise the gains would outweigh the losses, and the Wu Mu army marched extremely fast, and the infantry brigade could not keep up, so they had to follow closely and follow up slowly.

After the search battalion camped after dark, the main force withdrew overnight, leaving traces; And Lu Qingyang took a company to rest on the spot after a full meal.
