In view of this background, the Kuomintang canceled the attack on the cottage, and the army besieging the mountain began to retreat one after another. Tan Suqin went up the mountain again before leaving, and discussed with her sister Tan Suyun about the peaceful coexistence of the two sides and the joint anti-Japanese affairs in the future. The two sisters reached an agreement this time, and if the Japanese devils hit them, the two sides would join hands to fight the enemy together.

Tan Suqin suddenly turned her head and asked Li Yongan: "The Japanese devils are calling, are you going to fight with them?" ”

Li Yongan hurriedly said: "The two young ladies are beaten, and I will naturally fight too!" But he thought to himself, "Then it depends on whether they come to provoke me!" If you don't provoke me, why should I fight them for no reason? "He doesn't have any concept of a country or a nation in his heart, he just thinks about how to be his bandit comfortably in the troubled times!

After Tan Suqin finished talking with the two, she said goodbye and left, and went back to the provincial capital to report on her work. Not long after she left, Commander Qu and Tan Suyun also led the Red Army soldiers to leave the cottage and return to the base area.

After the Japanese army created the Lugou Bridge Incident, the offensive continued, and at the end of July, Beiping fell. In mid-August, the Japanese army began its attack on Shanghai, and Chairman Chiang was determined to fight the Japanese army to the death in Shanghai, so he mobilized a large number of troops to assemble in Shanghai, and all provinces in the country also sent troops to help Shanghai, and the Chinese and Japanese sides invested more than one million troops in Shanghai, fought fiercely for three months, suffered heavy casualties, and Shanghai fell by mid-November.

After capturing Shanghai, the Japanese army continued to advance westward, and the front of the army was directed at Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China! On December 1, the Japanese army base camp issued an operational order to attack Nanjing, and the Nanjing Campaign officially kicked off, due to the serious mistakes made by the Kuomintang authorities in the organization and command of the campaign, and the battle situation was lost, until December 13, the Japanese army captured the city of Nanjing in only ten days, and the capital Nanjing fell.

The Japanese army was able to occupy a large part of China's territory in a few years, and in this year, the Japanese army finally reached the area where the town of Anping was located. The Kuomintang army was outnumbered by its edge, and after only symbolic resistance, it immediately ordered a retreat, surrendering the strategic location of Anping Town to the Japanese, and Anping Town fell. After that, the Japanese offensive in this direction was temporarily suspended, and the two sides took Anping Town as the dividing line, the east as the Japanese-occupied area, and the west as the national control area, and held each other against each other.

The arrival of the Japanese army did not have a great impact on Li Yongan, he was still comfortable as his bandit leader, but the Japanese were more vicious than him, burning and looting all the way, making the people's livelihood miserable, and it became more and more difficult for him to grab something from the common people, which made him feel very annoyed.

Li Yongan originally didn't want to take the initiative to provoke the Japanese, but because of the eldest and second misses, he was embarrassed to rob the Kuomintang and the Eighth Route Army, and the common people couldn't grab anything, so he had no choice but to rob the Japanese!

The Eighth Route Army was in the same situation as him, lacking supplies, and friendly troops and civilians could not rob it, so it could only be the idea of fighting little devils.

So the two sides launched a game of robbing the little devils, robbing a transport team in the east, pulling out a turret in the west, busy and happy, in contrast, the Kuomintang army has become a lively watch, it is no wonder, they have the above supplies, there is no shortage of anything, disdain to do these small things, and the positive frontal hard, they are not the opponent of the little devils, so they can only watch from the wall!

There is still a little difference between Li Yongan and the Eighth Route Army, he only cares about whether he can grab things, and does not consider any strategic and tactical needs, so he will not do such a thankless thing as pulling out the artillery tower and pulling the bunker, and usually only robs the devil's transport team. The first time the transport team robbed the devil, the devil only had a squad of troops to escort, Li Yongan took five or six hundred people, more than ten times as many as them, he didn't take them seriously at all, and led the people to rush up, but he didn't expect the devil's tactical skills to be very high, the battle formation of mutual cover and cooperation was very tight, and the marksmanship was also very accurate. put down their sixty or seventy people, that is, relying on the courage of a few people such as Li Yongan and Kang Dali, they finally cleaned up these dozens of devils, otherwise it is not certain who robs whom! Although a lot of supplies were grabbed in the end, a total of more than 200 people were lost, which made Li Yongan feel very annoyed. Since the battle, he has appreciated the strength of the Japanese army, and he has planned very carefully when he has any action, choosing the most favorable terrain, planting mines, explosives, and carrying more grenades in advance, so as to try to maximize the vitality of the devils at the beginning of the raid! In addition, despite the pain in his flesh, he also began to allocate ammunition for his subordinates to practice shooting at ordinary times, otherwise the gun would not be allowed to shoot during the ambush, not to mention wasting ammunition, and it would also increase his own casualties! Li Yongan also asked Kang Dali and a few other people with good skills to start teaching everyone to practice martial arts, to be a bandit is to be ruthless and fierce enough, to be picked up by others like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, it is too damn to lose the face of bandits, which makes Li Yongan feel very faceless!

Once, Li Yongan got the news of a devil transport team, and hurriedly rushed to ambush and rob halfway. After coming to the place, I didn't think about it, but I met the head of the Eighth Route Army, Qu, who also came with a group of people to ambush and rob, and the two sides met each other, and the head of Qu greeted him with a smile and said: "Brother Li, what a coincidence!" I don't know why you're here? ”

Li Yongan laughed dryly twice and replied: "I learned that a transport team of devils was going to fight this, so I came to get some oil and water!" ”

Captain Qu said: "I also got the news of the devil transport team and rushed to get oil and water, but I didn't expect to meet you, brother!" You see that this monk has a lot of porridge and little porridge, not enough points! Your life is much better than ours, why don't you let us do it this time? Brother accepts your affection, if there is any good thing in the future, you must come first, brother! ”

Li Yongan didn't eat him, sighed and said, "Brother Qu, you don't know, since this little devil came, my brother and my life have not been easy!" Day by day! I have thousands of people, and there are many mouths, and I have to consume a lot of food every day. Everyone has difficulties, I think it is not like this, everyone depends on their abilities, whoever grabs what first is counted! ”

When Commander Qu heard him say this, he couldn't say anything, and if he continued to say it, it would be as if he admitted that the Eighth Route Army couldn't rob them without them! So he laughed and said, "Then let's rely on our own abilities and show our powers!" After speaking, he led his subordinates to seize the advantageous terrain and ambushed him.

Li Yongan was robbed of the best ambush position by him, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Old fox! "Hurriedly led people to find other locations and ambushed.
