As a result, the three pursuit battles against the Yue army, after the call of their respective regiment commanders and political commissars, immediately turned into revenge battles to avenge their comrades. In the atmosphere full of anger against the devils, the soldiers' will to fight was once again stimulated, and at the same time, the morale of the fighters was also raised to the extreme.

The morale-boosting fighters were very thorough in their efforts to reduce the size of the troops, and the whole process took less than two hours. Moreover, at the instigation of some grassroots cadres and fighters, the various units did not rest and recuperate according to the requirements of the headquarters, but went directly to the battlefield.

Liu Hua stood at the door of the headquarters. watched the troops slowly leave the barracks. And the barracks began to desert with the departure of the three main regiments.

"Chief of Staff, order; The guard battalion, the special operations brigade, and the artillery battalion were immediately assembled, and we were ready to return to the base area. Looking at the empty barracks, Liu Hua ordered to the chief of staff behind him.

"Yes, Commander, I'll go deliver the order." With that, the chief of staff left the command.

Just as Liu Hua was about to return to the base area, the North China Headquarters of the Yue Army also issued orders to each attacking unit to retreat. At the same time, it is required that all units destroy the base areas in the eastern part of China as much as possible in the process of retreating. This is also the best revenge of the army as an encirclement and suppression force, and at the same time as a loser.

After receiving the order, the three wings of the army immediately stopped the attack and prepared to retreat. However, seeing that the weather was getting dark, and hearing the constant gunfire on both sides of the troops, several wing commanders wisely chose to stop and rest for the night to replenish the physical strength of the troops. The most important reason is that he is afraid that in the process of marching at night, he will be attacked by the more crazy night attacks of the Shina people, and then he will lose more than he gains.

So, when the information of the cavalry battalion was sent to the three main regiments that rushed to the target, everyone secretly shouted for joy. Because with one night, everyone can have enough time to assign tasks and set up positions.

At this time, Yue Jun suddenly felt a trace of abnormality. Because the gunfire around them stopped at the moment of camping. The army is speculating; Is it because the 117th Wing was wiped out by the Shina people, and the Eighth Route Army that was harassing along the way also retreated, if this is the case, then it is really thanks to the blessing of Amaterasu that he escaped the secret gun of the Shina people.

So, after several days of continuous gunfire, the gunfire stopped. After entering the base area, the army finally spent a quiet night and slept peacefully.

However, although the surrounding Eighth Route Army stopped its cold shots, it did not retreat. Instead, according to the orders of their respective regiment commanders, new blocking positions were arranged along the way, and in the process of the retreat of the army, they cleaned him up. As a result, the tunnels of several villages along the way were busy again, arranging troops, and clearing the firing boundaries in front of the shooting holes.

The next day, after breakfast, the army walked out of the barracks and began to retreat according to the standard marching formation. Two hours had passed, and I had not heard a single gunshot. Could it be that the people of China really retreated? The captain of the wing, who was on his horse, thought happily.

Raising the binoculars, a village that had just passed by yesterday appeared in front of me. Seeing the village without a trace of life, and looking at the bloodstained road, the joint captain's newly relaxed heart suddenly became nervous, and even his hands holding the binoculars began to tremble.

Is it because of the shadow caused by the large casualties caused by the troops passing here yesterday? The co-captain thought to himself. No, absolutely not. With his many years of experience in the war, the tension before the war at this time, yes, it must be the income before the war, and the people of China must have an authentic in the village in front. The Wing Captain definitely thought of it. At the same time, combat orders were also issued to several brigade commanders behind him.

"Order, the squadrons quickly pass through the village in front, the artillery brigade, the baggage brigade at the end of the ranks." The reason why the wing captain arranged this way was because he was afraid of the tunnel war of the Chinese people. If, in the course of the march, the mules and horses hauling the cannons were killed, blocking the march of the troops. Then the march of the troops will slow down, and more of our soldiers will fall under the guns of the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the order, the army brigade, which was marching normally, immediately took the squadron as a unit and accelerated its march. The artillerymen who followed the last part of the team, the baggage also began to drive away the accompanying mules and horses because of the increased speed. Suddenly, the rearguard of the army fell into chaos.

"Company commander, company commander, the devils are coming, this time the devils are smart, they put the artillery and baggage at the end of the line," a scout who was scouting at the entrance of the village retracted into the tunnel.

"Okay, good in the back. The task assigned by the commander this time was to seize as much heavy equipment, materials and ammunition as possible. The devil's arrangement is really convenient for our actions. Tell the platoon commanders to spare the enemy's main wing and attack the artillery logistics brigade of the army. After the passage of the army, two militia companies immediately rushed out to clean up the battlefield, and we went to the entrance of the village to take up the task of guarding, and all the seized materials were put into the tunnel to prevent the army from counterattacking and shelling. After listening to the scout's words, the company commander ordered excitedly.

At this time, the first squadron of the Yue army had already run into the village with bright bayonets, looking at the Yue army passing in front of them, and looking at the soldiers hiding behind the shooting hole with the shining 38 rifle in the hand of the Yue army, they could only swallow their saliva, because they had not heard the gunshot.

The army of several thousand people stretched for several kilometers and took half an hour. It was only in the artillery brigade of the army that the figure of the baggage brigade appeared in the eyes of the company commander. "Be ready for battle." The company commander ordered to the soldiers beside him, one after the other, and soon, the whole company was ready for battle.

At the same time, a light machine gun captured in combat some time ago also opened fire, and the dense bullets swept away the logistics baggage of the army. Hearing the gunfire of the company commander, all the rifles and machine guns in the company opened fire, and even some militiamen behind them couldn't hold back their excitement, found a shooting hole, and began shooting.

Suddenly, countless bullets shot out from the corners and walls on both sides of the highway, and the dense bullets suddenly turned the men of the artillery logistics brigade of the Chinese army on their backs, and the roars of the soldiers and the neighing of the horses that were shot resounded in one place. And under the blow of intensive firepower, the marching speed of the Devil Logistics Brigade is also getting slower and slower.

Horses with cannons and bullets fell, as did the soldiers. Finally, in the face of the blow of such intensive firepower. Some logistics soldiers, artillerymen began to ignore the neighing mules and horses around them, picked up their rifles and chased after the main wing. Under the order of the company commander, the soldiers let go of the fleeing devil soldiers and stared at the artillery of the army.

With the first soldier to take the lead, and he was able to run out of the village under such a dense bullet. The rest of the soldiers began to make up their minds, and they all looked at their commanders. In the end, with the approval of their commanders, those troops who were pressed to the ground by the dense rain of bullets of the Eighth Route Army and could not move began to abandon their baggage, wounded mules and horses, and retreated outside the village.

"Haha, it's really hard, Xiao Wang, the magazine" The company commander frantically pulled the extremely strong trigger. Looking at the devils on the road, one by one fell under their guns, and the company commander shouted to the deputy shooter beside him.

"Company commander, you've already finished several magazines, let me kill a few devils too, I want to avenge the sacrificed comrades." Xiao Wang behind him replied dissatisfiedly, and at the same time, handed the company commander a magazine full of bullets.

"Xiao Wang, don't worry, there aren't many devils in this gang, when you go to the next village, this light machine gun will be handed over to you," As he spoke, the company commander had already reloaded the magazine and continued to pull the trigger.

In this way, it took a full ten minutes for the devil's artillery and baggage brigade to pass through the village. And the fighters are also addicted to these ten minutes. Because there is an authentic cover, the soldiers don't need to worry about their lives at all, they just pull the trigger to their heart's content, kill the devil, and avenge the sacrificed comrades.

"Second Company, immediately go to the entrance of the village to guard to prevent the devil dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and kill us with a return gun. The militia even went out to clean up the battlefield immediately, and not a single bullet casing was spared. The company commander looked at the bloody road outside and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

As soon as they walked out of the tunnel, the soldiers were stunned by the scene in front of them, and saw that there was almost no place to stay on the entire nearly 200-meter-long road. And there was the constant neighing of wounded mules and horses, and the wails of seriously wounded devils. And those devils who were killed, mules and horses, were equally miserable. Smashed heads, corpses trampled into flesh by passing mules and horses, entrails dragged everywhere

Many militiamen who had not been through the war had already crouched down by the wall and began to vomit, and even some of their own soldiers who had been through the war were shocked and speechless.

"What are you doing in a daze, unproductive guy. Hurry up and carry out the order, do the old rules, I don't want a living devil. The company commander shouted to a frightened soldier behind him.

Finally, amid the shouting and scolding of the company commander, the soldiers began to slowly regain their expressions. Walk to your place.

However, perhaps the Yue army was really frightened by the tunnel warfare of the Eighth Route Army, although he knew that he had lost almost half of his baggage and materials here, and thirty percent of his heavy weapons. But the Wing Commander did not let the soldiers return to recapture the baggage. Instead, he continued to march rapidly, wanting to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

This happened in every village that the army passed along the way. Almost every time the army passed through a village, they had to leave behind dozens of corpses and a large amount of supplies.

In the same way, the losses in the base area were also very serious, and after the army was attacked, no matter what the village was, when the army left, it would always set a fire to burn the village clean, and in the name of revenge, the Eighth Route Army would take revenge.

As a result, the entire Jindong base area was filled with billowing smoke. This has caused great difficulties in the post-war reconstruction of the base areas. Under the conditions of a fast march and regardless of casualties, within a few days, the army had already retracted to its old nest. In the process of the army's hasty retreat, the various units in eastern Jindong also occupied the rural areas of several counties in eastern Jindong without much effort, and more than doubled the entire base area again, including almost the entire rural area of eastern Jindong.

At this time, the "nine-way encirclement and suppression" of half a month of the army's history has also ended. At the same time, the Jindong base area has also ushered in a new opportunity for development.
