After Liu Chenghai crossed the Yangtze River in the north, his life was much better than that of other brigades, because most of the garrison troops in Jiangbei were the devil's garrison, and the quality of the soldiers, weapons and equipment were far inferior to the devil's field troops, especially the poor number of heavy weapons.

Liu Chenghai strictly followed the "nine-character mantra", dispersed the troops to various villages and towns, took off the Wu Mu Army's hunting clothes, changed into civilian clothes, and built tunnels and cellars with the common people according to the instructions of the instructors of the New Fourth Army, so as to prevent the devils from robbing grain---- grain robbery is the most distressing thing for the common people; He also helped the Wumu caravan to dump goods for business......

But the devils can't stop, they have to rely on looting the materials of the common people to feed the war; Wu Mujun could not help but fight and eat the food of the common people in vain.

Before the devils realized the threat of Wu Mujun, 3 or 2 devils dared to drive 1 or 2 carts to the countryside to "collect grain", and a squad and 5 or 6 carts were sent to distant places. "Collecting grain" is the beauty that the devils like: forcing the people of China to hand over the grain and load it into carts with guns; By the way, enjoy the hospitality of chicken, duck and fish from village offices around the country; If you want to find the flower girl, you have to rely on your own efforts to find it; In short, the work of "collecting grain" is good.

The 3 devils came to the locust tree depression near the stronghold, and soon filled 2 carts of grain, but they didn't find the flower girl after eating and drinking, and they were a little disappointed, so they went back to the business unhurriedly.

A few gunshots rang out, and 3 devils fell to the ground. A few guerrillas sprang out of the ditch, threw the corpses of the devils on the cart, and ran away with the cart.

When the devils in the stronghold heard the gunshots, they found the fleeing cart and the 4 Chinese people, and hurriedly sent 5 devils to pursue them.

The devil was out of breath and chased for 5 miles, and gunshots rang out in the firewood and straw stacks on the side of the road, and 5 more devils were reimbursed!

The devil's grain collection team was constantly attacked, and the time and place were irregular, more than 100 people died in ten days, the devil realized that the people of China had moved, and Qingxiang ---- eliminate the militants of China and protect the logistics supply base of the imperial army!

The three brigades of the devils set out from Nantong, Jingjiang, and Rugao to encircle Liu Chenghai's territory, and they also transferred dozens of trucks to speed up the encirclement.

The truck was like a behemoth on the plains of Yima Pingchuan, and it was also the prey of Wu Mujun. The devil squad was crammed into 4 trucks, and was blown upside down by a mine, some of the devils in the car were thrown out of the car, and some jumped out of the car, trying to defend with guns, but they were killed by the sudden machine-gun fire, and then they were blown up by the overwhelming grenades and couldn't raise their heads, and when the living devils raised their heads, they were killed by the people who rushed up.

Devil reinforcements arrived, only corpses were all over the ground, and nothing else.

The devils in the stronghold saw 2 trucks coming over, and hurriedly lowered the drawbridge to greet the sweeping comrades. Wu Mujun, who drove into the stronghold, got out of the car and started to clean up the stronghold.

The same scene was played out in another stronghold.

The devils became cautious, and the brigades, squadrons, and squads kept a distance from each other to communicate and support, and marched in unison, and the heavy machine guns were distributed to each squad as a response fire and reserve, and an iron net was pulled apart until the Chinese militants were squeezed together and completely eliminated.

There is a huge loophole in the devil's plan that is not yet known. The devil's plan was based on the road network, but it ignored the water vein network, and the rivers flowing into the Yangtze River provided Wu Mu's army with a mesh to drill out of the iron net, so that the devils in Nantong and Jingjiang were exposed to the enemy.

Liu Chenghai is already a theoretician of guerrilla warfare, and he does not have much experience in actual combat in guerrilla warfare, but he has a solid foundation in the training and tactical quality of the troops. The Kurosawa Brigade of the devil in Nantong, to the east, became Ryu Seunghae's experiment.

The center of Yoo Seunghae's forces was shifted to the east, and the two battalions were interspersed behind Kurosawa's brigade in a north-south route. The first battalion dived behind enemy lines along the river, while only two companies of the second battalion dived out, while the other company broke through hard.

The 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion assembled on the shore of a small lake, and when the devils approached, the 6th Company suddenly attacked, and the light machine guns swept at the front devils in a squad, and then went straight to the heavy machine gun position behind the devils. The devils on both sides attacked from the side, and the devils of the two squads were not the opponents of a company of Wu Mujun at all, and they completely stopped eating after only a while. At this time, the nearly 5-kilometer attack line of the devil squad was easily broken, and only one heavy machine gun remained, which was also killed by Wu Mujun at the cost of sacrificing 11 people.

Kurosawa realized that the Iron Mesh Project was nothing more than a thin and leaky broken net, and it couldn't withstand a finger poke at all. However, the huge battle plan cannot be easily changed, and it can only be partially adjusted, encircled and suppressed key areas, and annihilated the main force of the armed forces in China. So after reconnaissance, summarization, and analysis, Kurosawa concentrated his forces on Yoo Seunghae's brigade headquarters to encircle.

Liu Chenghai did not want to involve the common people, put the battlefield on a high ground, sent a battalion and a guard company in his hands to 10 miles away to resist the enemy, and then fought and retreated, collecting the devil's troops.

Sensing the increasing resistance of the Shina people, Kurosawa connected the various engagement points, deduced the location of the command center of the Shina people, and urged the squadrons to intensify the attack.

Liu Chenghai watched his troops withdraw to the preset positions one after another, and issued an anti-encirclement order to the peripheral troops through the radio from the command center in Xishan.

With the contraction of Liu Chenghai's troops, the counterattack power is getting stronger and stronger, and the devil's troops are also shrinking closer and closer.

The first three and last four company-level blocking positions of the Wumu Army fought fiercely for two hours with a brigade of devils, suffered the loss of devils' heavy machine guns, lost 9 light machine guns, 4 grenade machine guns, and suffered more than 130 casualties, but the devils were not much better, losing 4 light machine guns, 19 grenadiers, and more than 200 people were killed and wounded.

The sunset was red, shining on the officers and soldiers on both sides who were desperately fighting. There are many devils, and there are nearly 600 people, and there are only more than 300 people left on Liu Chenghai's position. The devil was afraid that Wu Mu's army would flee at night, so he seized the last attack before dark. The devil commander didn't know that Liu Chenghai's department could retreat at any time, and he only stayed here because he was waiting to collect their corpses.

The heavy machine guns behind the devils suddenly stopped firing one after another, and then the heavy machine guns began to shoot at the devils, Captain Kurosawa understood the situation on the battlefield and ordered the troops to desperately enter the position of the Wumu army, only in this way can the slaughter of the heavy machine guns behind be avoided, and the devils on the front line also understood this truth and rushed forward bravely; Captain Kurosawa personally led the brigade headquarters and some lightly wounded soldiers who had just withdrawn to counterattack the heavy machine-gun position controlled by the Wumu Army, in a vain attempt to change the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen.

As soon as Kurosawa saw the figure of the Wu Mu Army's machine gunner, he saw the Wu Mu Army rushing up all over the field, and hurriedly ordered the accompanying troops to block the attack, while he hid in the grass of a stinky pond.

The attacking devils finally rushed into the position of the Wu Mu army and began hand-to-hand combat, the Wu Mu army, which had suffered a loss in numbers, retreated again and again, Liu Chenghai saw the rear bread copy troops coming, and the brothers in front of him fell down one by one, and couldn't help but pick up their bayonets and rush forward.

The guard squad behind Liu Chenghai used a shell gun to open the way for Liu Chenghai, so that there were no devils within 30 meters of Liu Chenghai's side, Liu Chenghai was furious and ordered to leave two guards behind, and the other guards supported elsewhere!

The outflanking troops rushed up to join the melee, the situation reversed, and the devils began to break and flee......

In this battle, only 77 of the 860 people of Kurosawa's brigade escaped back, and the three battalions of the Wumu army lured the enemy suffered more than 100 casualties, the guard company suffered more than 30 casualties, and the other two battalions suffered slight casualties. Liu Chenghai ordered the troops, the first battalion and the second battalion to attack the Devil's Yamamoto Brigade in the west with the nine heavy machine guns that had been captured, and he took the crippled third battalion and the guard company to make a reserve later, and the lightly wounded organized the local villagers to conceal the supplies, bury the corpses, and then hide in the villagers' homes on the spot.

In the middle of the night, Yoo Seung-hae ordered his troops to camp and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Because it was its own territory, the terrain was familiar, and there was no need to repair fortifications in offensive warfare, so the troops camped directly, until the next morning, when the guard post reported that they saw devils, the troops simply sorted out the formation, and the two battalions rushed directly towards the devils on one side of the other.

The devil reconnoitred the camp of the Wu Mu army from a distance, and also rushed forward lightly to try to catch the Wu Mu army by surprise, and the two teams entered a fierce battle without preparation. The devils in Jingjiang did not assemble, and there was only a little more than a squadron of troops, and they were soon beaten and fled by the Wu Mu army.

Wu Mujun did not chase either, and built fortifications on the spot, ready to meet the devils behind. The devils in the two directions of Jingjiang and Rugao got the report and hurriedly outflanked them, but the Wumu army's position was empty, only a few scattered mines, which injured a few devil soldiers, and the Wumu army's troops disappeared like mercury.

It turned out that when Liu Chenghai sharpened his knife and was about to fight with the devil again, several instructors of the New Fourth Army found Liu Chenghai and asked Liu Chenghai two questions: After this battle, even if the Wu Mu Army wins, how many people will be left in the Wu Mu Army? How will the remaining forces develop in the region in the future?

Liu Chenghai suddenly brightened up, realizing that he almost violated the nine-character mantra and almost lost with the devil. He hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw into villages, forests, meadows, and lakes in squad and platoon......

The devils have already understood the combat strength of the Wumu army, and they are secretly frightened, taking advantage of the luck to occupy some territory, under the pretext that the devils in Nantong have been defeated and retreated, the formation has been dispersed, and the strategic goal can no longer be achieved, plundered some food and materials, and killed a group of civilians to return to report the merits, and the clean-up will not be over.

Liu Chenghai sorted out his troops and stationed them in the field for several days. Many ordinary people sent food and meat to welcome Wu Mujun, but Liu Chenghai did not see them at all, nor did he accept the "labor army".

The nearby squires asked to see Liu Chenghai through the instructors of the New Fourth Army, and Liu Chenghai came out with a face full of shame: "Liu Chenghai of the criminal army meets all the fathers!" ”

"Where, Captain Liu saved the people from fire and water, and we came to thank and express our hearts on behalf of the people! This time, thanks to Captain Liu, who led the soldiers to resist the strong enemy, protect the villagers, and save the living beings in Jiangbei from being devastated, the villagers are grateful! ”

"I'm ashamed of Liu, thousands of villagers were killed, hundreds of sisters were humiliated, and tens of thousands of catties of grain were robbed, it was Liu who was incompetent, and I was ashamed of my fathers and fellow villagers!" Yoo Seung-hae burst into tears.

"General Liu don't blame himself so much, how can there be no loss in the war, your soldiers fought bloodily and saved a large number of people in the township, food, it is a great merit, the villagers are grateful, we are ordinary people, but there is also blood, but no one leads us to resist, General Liu's department dares to fight to the death with the devil, the villagers are willing to hand over their children to you, and defend the country with you before and after the saddle! This is the petition list of young children from 15 nearby townships and more than 300 villages, a total of 11,342 people, please General Liu do not shirk! "The leading squire is Yu Lide, the former county magistrate of Rugao.

Liu Chenghai listened to the heartfelt gratitude of the squires, and reversed his gloomy mood, and said angrily: "The villagers support Liu so much, Liu and the brothers can only spill blood on the battlefield to repay the love of your fathers and elders!" As for the recruitment, Liu was grateful, but due to equipment, training and other reasons, he had to come step by step! ”

Liu Chenghai received the support of the common people, and his confidence doubled, and after consulting with the officers of various departments and the instructors of the New Fourth Army, he decided to organize local carpenters to build hard crossbows; Three battalions were drawn out and stationed in various towns and villages in squads to help local youths form militia teams and be responsible for training; The other two battalions were responsible for garrison points; The guard company was responsible for patrolling and plundering the weapons and equipment of the devils for the purpose of expanding the army.

Wang Sitong, the commander of the guard company, is Liu Maoer's right-hand man, and was forced to come over by Liu Chenghai. This kid is one of the squad leaders who came out of prison with Tuesday Dog's front and back feet, cunning and resourceful, experienced in a hundred battles, and has a lot of achievements, but his thinking is too detailed, and he can't manage too many troops, he thinks he is suitable to be a company commander, and he has been the company commander of the reconnaissance company, guard company, and spy company, otherwise with his combat exploits, it is very likely that Wu Mujun will have an additional captain. Leading soldiers to patrol is his favorite job!

Wang Sitong led the team to Maoji Town, south of Rugao, and discussed cooperation with Li Donghai, the commander of the 7th Company who was responsible for training the militia, and began to patrol.

There are not many devils in Rugao, and if you provoke the devils, you won't cause big trouble to the base area, and the persimmons always have to pick up the soft pinch.

The main thing is to grab materials, supplemented by pulling out strongholds. This is the core of the task that Wang Sitong comprehends. So he decided to hit the devil's stronghold first, and after the devil was frightened, he would definitely enrich the equipment of each stronghold, and the transport team at this time would be worth grabbing.

The devils send supplies to each stronghold, usually a big car, and the two devils usually send food, meat, eggs and vegetables, and occasionally have some ammunition to replenish. Wang Sitong's purpose was not to rob anything, but to stimulate the devils to increase supplies to the stronghold. So rob the grain, rob the grain.

In the past half a month, Wang Sitong's guard company only robbed 16 truckloads of grain, feinted 31 times on 11 strongholds, and killed 19 devils. However, the devil could not hold his breath anymore, and hurriedly enriched the firepower, ammunition, and food of the stronghold to increase the combat capability of the stronghold.

Wang Sitong saw that the devil transport team had changed the mode of transportation, and the transport team was changed to more than 10 large carts dispatched together, escorted by a small team of devils, and sent from stronghold to stronghold, and the grain bag of the material type was also single, and the wooden box containing weapons and ammunition was added.

Here's your chance! Wang Sitong was secretly happy.

The devil transport team came out again to give supplies, and saw a few beggars sitting around the fire on the side of the road cooking, and the beggars were not afraid of the devils, and they were taking care of their own food, and a fragrance wafted out of the crockpot.

The captain of the devil squad was curious, blasted the beggar aside, stirred the gruel in the broken crockpot with the beggar's broken wooden spoon, and found that there was meat and vegetables in the gruel, no wonder the fragrance was tangy! The leader of the devil squad came up, but he didn't dare to eat the beggars' dirty tableware.

The leader of the devil's squad had an idea, set up the devil's own marching pot, took out the meat and vegetables in the car, and forced the beggars to wash their hands and cook for the devil. The beggar took out his own spice and asked the devil if he could put it, and the devil nodded in permission, and the fragrance wafted away, and the devil gave a thumbs up.

After the meal was ready, the devil was afraid of poison and asked the beggar to eat first, and the beggars swarmed up and were knocked aside by the devil, but each person was given a small spoonful.

Seeing that the beggars had nothing to do after eating, the devils rushed up, ate the food cleanly, and rewarded the beggars with a small bag of grain, and the beggars nodded gratefully.

The devil transport team walked not far away, and they all lay on the ground and didn't know who was there. Wu Mujun's method of sweating medicine is really superb, and the "beggars" take the antidote in advance, of course it's okay!

This time, Wang Sitong captured more than 8,000 catties of grain, 6 heavy machine guns, 20 boxes of grenades, 54 prisoners and a squad of equipment. The captives will not change the ocean, Liu Chenghai sent people to parade through the streets first, so that the people can relieve their hatred, and then train the recruits to assassinate and train their courage.

That night, Wang Sitong led people to the Erbao stronghold. Send out a sniper first, take out the devil sentry with a single shot, and then hide yourself. The devil couldn't find the target, and used the searchlight to search and shoot at the suspicious place with the machine gun, the sniper waited for the searchlight to sweep, and then shot out the devil behind the searchlight, the devil quickly turned off the searchlight and fired indiscriminately in the direction of the sniper, and the sniper fired a shot at the devil's machine gun flame, and the devil's machine gun was also dumb.

Just as the devil was searching for the sniper, a squad of Wang Sitong had approached from the other side of the turret and was discovered by the sentry behind the devil, and the searchlight and machine gun swept over together. The soldiers of the Wumu Army at close range knocked out the searchlight of the devil and shot at the devil in the turret. Each of these soldiers carried a steel pot, and the bullets of the devils clanged in the night.

The sniper on the other side took advantage of the situation to approach the turret, put down the sniper rifle, blew open the gate of the turret with the javelin thunder, and immediately picked up the sniper rifle, killing a devil by the fire of the thunderbolt explosion.

The gate of the devil's turret was blown open, and the situation became very dangerous, so he had to send two people to guard the gate, and was killed by snipers, and there were only 7 devils left in the turret, guarding 1 heavy machine gun, 1 light machine gun, a grenadier canister, and several rifles resisted stubbornly.

The sniper picked up another javelin and flew into the turret. After a while, there was no movement in the turret. 7 devils are unconscious---- javelin flying thunder is equipped with a stun bomb!

Wang Sitong sent a squad to attack the Erbao stronghold, and the other troops were ambushed outside the four strongholds around the Erbao stronghold to prepare for reinforcements.

As soon as the 8 devils in the stronghold of Yibao rushed out of the stronghold, they were blown down by a burst of clay pot lime grenades, and none of them were spared, and 1 light machine gun was used by Wu Mujun to hit the turret of Yibao.

The devils in the stronghold of the three forts are very righteous, 11 devils rushed out, leaving only 2 devils to guard the turret, and the end is the same as the devils in the first fort.
