When Wu Quanfu rushed to the outskirts of Lijia Town with his cavalry, the Western Hebei guerrillas and the cavalry battalion of the 129th Division were already ambushed on the side of the town. The reason why they didn't attack was because they had discovered something unusual about the town through reconnaissance, which alerted them.

The commander of the cavalry battalion in the summer said: "Commissioner Yang, the situation seems to be a little bad, you should withdraw with Ji You's comrades first, and I will lead the cavalry battalion to break down." ”

Commissioner Yang is Yang Xiufeng, the chief captain of the Western Hebei Guerrilla Army, and his public identity is a special commissioner of the Hebei Civil Training Department of the Artillery Party, and his real identity is a member of the Jin-Hebei-Henan Provincial Committee of the Red Party. The director of the Hebei Civil Training Office is called Zhang Yinwu, who used to be a division commander under Yan Laoxi'er. After the defeat of the Central Plains, he returned to his hometown and ran a "Sicun Middle School". Yang Xiufeng, who was a university professor at the time, once gave lectures at this school, and his noble character and profound knowledge were deeply respected by President Zhang. This came and went, and the two sides had a friendship.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to resist Japan. In this general situation, Director Zhang appointed Professor Yang as the special commissioner of the Western Hebei Civil Training Guidance for the sake of network talents, recommended by Wen Jiangong, Secretary-General of the Civil Training Department. This commissioner was extremely powerful, responsible for mobilizing the people to resist the Japanese in the thirteen counties of western Hebei, organizing local armed forces, and appointing and dismissing the county magistrates of these thirteen counties.

After Professor Yang took over the Great Seal, he led a large number of students to propagate anti-Japanese resistance in the western Hebei region and formed the Western Hebei Guerrilla Corps. Since most of the members were his students, this force was extremely highly educated, which was very rare at the time. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army attached great importance to this unit and sent the cavalry battalion over to a large extent to protect them.

When Ji You was about to retreat, he found that not only was there an ambush in Lijiazhen, but there were also a large number of enemies lurking in the periphery of Lijiazhen. In fact, the Ji You and cavalry battalions had already run into the enemy's circle. It's okay to stay still on your stomach, as long as you retreat, it will definitely alarm the enemy.

If the retreat will be discovered, why wasn't it discovered when you came in the first place? According to the speculation of the summer battalion commander, there are two situations: one is that when the troops entered the hidden area, it was dark, and the enemy did not find our troops, but our reconnaissance personnel did not find the enemy troops; On the other hand, the enemy entered the position behind our troops, but our guards did not detect the enemy's movements. As for the exact reason, it is not known for the time being.

After the battle, everyone learned the truth from the mouths of several puppet soldiers. It turned out that when the guerrillas and cavalry battalions of western Hebei came, they had already been discovered by a part of the Japanese puppet army. Due to the lack of Japanese troops, the Japanese puppet army ambushed in this area belonged to more than a dozen units, and they did not know each other. As a result, several troops on the periphery regarded Ji You and the cavalry battalion as puppet troops. Of course, this was only learned later, and everyone didn't think of this at the time.

The summer battalion commander wiped a cold sweat and scolded several platoon commanders in charge of reconnaissance and vigilance.

Professor Yang hurriedly persuaded: "Camp Chief Xia, scolding people is useless, let's think about how to break through!" ”

The summer battalion commander observed the enemy situation and said, "It is definitely not possible to break through now, so we can only wait until it gets dark!" "In fact, if the cavalry battalion rushes hard, it is still very likely to rush out of Lu, he is worried that Jiyou's comrades will not be able to rush out. In his opinion, these student soldiers are used to holding pens, and they are still a little uncomfortable with guns.

There was no way, everyone had to continue the cat in the lurking area. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the fighters even went to pee one by one, for fear that too much movement would expose the target. In this case, of course, it is impossible to make a fire for cooking. They set out before dawn, and by this time they were so hungry that their bellies were pressed against their vests. People can still bear it, but the war horse can't manage so much. These big guys are so thirsty that they snort at every turn, which scares everyone's heart.

When he was in a hurry, Wu Quanfu rushed to the outskirts of Lijia Town with his cavalry. They fired their guns as they ran, and shouted loudly with iron horns: "There are ambushes in Lijia Town!" Chinese soldiers should beware! ”

The soldiers of Ji You and the cavalry battalion were surprised when they heard the shout, and they all poked their heads out to take a look. Professor Yang pushed his glasses to Lu Shang and said in surprise, "Camp Commander Xia, what kind of cavalry is this?" ”

The summer camp commander looked at it with a telescope and said, "It seems that the clothes are from the Ping'an County Security Corps, but I didn't expect them to come." Ahem, but what's the use of these cavalry? ”

Professor Yang said: "The cavalry may have come first to report the news, and the large army may be behind." ”

Camp Commander Xia smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the big army won't come, I heard that Zheng Weiguo climbed the high branch of Wei Lihuang and wants to pull the troops to Jinnan." ”

Professor Yang said: "I have also heard about this, and the headquarters means to observe for a while to see what this Zheng Weiguo thinks." ”

The summer camp chief pursed his mouth and said, "What else can you think?" I want to be promoted and make a fortune! ”

Professor Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't jump to conclusions, after all, they are still in a cooperative relationship with us. We can't take the initiative to push them over to the side of the Kuomintang. ”

As he was talking, several lurking Japanese puppet troops suddenly rushed out. These guys were probably enraged by the shouting cavalry, and they screamed and killed them.

One of the fighters couldn't help but say, "Look, the devil is in a hurry!" ”

Another fighter rubbed his stomach and said, "Of course you have to be in a hurry." I finally set up a game, but I was called broken before it opened! ”

The soldier in front laughed, "That's it! I think when I didn't join the army, there were a few bullies in the town to set up a gambling game, and when I saw them deceiving people, I shouted on the street, 'This gang is out of the woods, don't fall for them, folks'!" ”

Another fighter laughed when he heard this and said, "And then? ”

The soldier in front sighed and said, "Then I was chased by this gang of bullies for more than ten miles, and my shoes were lost!" ”

Several soldiers next to them had been listening to them, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

The summer camp leader glared at them angrily and shouted in a low voice: "You guys, if you laugh again, you will sew your mouths shut!" The warriors hurriedly covered their mouths. There were a few fighters with low laughs who held back so hard that their shoulders were shaking.

Professor Yang looked outside and said, "Camp Commander Xia, those cavalry who shouted will be fine!" ”

The summer battalion commander looked at it with a telescope again and said, "It's okay, the cavalry runs fast, and the devils can't catch up with them on two legs!" ”

In fact, the devil also has cavalry, and he has already sent out a cavalry. It's just that they tried to make a detour back to Wu Quanfu's flank and rear, and they didn't pursue them from the front. There was also a squadron of cars coming this way, just a little further away.

Wu Quanfu had set up an observation post, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ordered a retreat. The devil's cavalry had no choice but to give up the detour and chased after Wu Quanfu and them directly. After running for a long time, the devil's cavalry chased closer and closer. Although the security regiment also grabbed some Oriental horses, after all, there were not many, and the quality of most of the war horses could not catch up with the Japanese war horses.

One of the fighters looked back and couldn't help but scold: "Fuck the little devil, why are you running so fast!" ”

Another warrior said: "How light the devils are, they are all frustrated winter melons, and of course the horses run fast." ”

Another soldier said: "We have been tired for a long time, and there is no shame in running slower!" ”

The soldier in front said, "Bah, it's not a shame to run slowly, but your life is going to be lost!" ”

Wu Quanfu scolded: "What the hell are you talking about, run!" Just run through the bend in front of you. With that, he turned and picked up his pistol, and with a single shot knocked one of his pursuers off his horse. As soon as the horses in front slowed down, the horses behind them crashed straight into them and rolled on the spot.

After such a delay, Wu Quanfu and the others ran through the big bend and temporarily got rid of the pursuers. This annoyed the Japanese troops, and a motorized force of more than a dozen vehicles quickly chased after them, raising the old high flying dust on the road.

Professor Yang and Camp Leader Xia were dumbfounded, looked at each other behind each other, and said, "It's so dangerous!" "If they hadn't kept an eye on it today, I was afraid that they would have been swallowed by the Japanese army by this time, and there would not be even a slag left.

After Wu Quanfu and his brothers ran through the big bend, he did not take the road again, because he knew very well that horses could not outrun cars. The warriors led their horses up a hill. When the squadron of cars rushed over, they saw only the butt of the last horse. At this time, it is basically impossible to catch up with a group of cavalry. Because if you chase them with motormen, they will take the small road, and if the infantry comes up, they will take the big road, and the cavalry alone will be easily ambushed.

After a burst of indiscriminate shooting, the devastated Japanese retreated. Wu Quanfu saw that the devil didn't chase him, so he didn't bother to run, and stayed on the hillside to continue to observe the movements of the Japanese army. At this time, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the direction of Lijiazhen. It turned out that when one of the Japanese troops retreated, they happened to pass through the latent positions of the guerrillas in western Hebei. Originally, Camp Commander Xia and Professor Yang didn't plan to fight, because it was easy to ambush, but it was difficult to get out. Unexpectedly, a fighter accidentally pulled the trigger because he was nervous.

As soon as the gun goes off, there is no point in hiding it any longer. Professor Yang asked the trumpeter to blow the horn and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill devils, rush!" ”

The summer camp commander was taken aback, and hurriedly said to the two guards: "Quick, quick, protect the commissioner!" ”

The Japanese did not expect that there was an enemy in ambush so close, and they always thought it was safe. Most of the devils died with their guns still on their backs and not taken off. The soldiers of Jiyou killed so happily that they killed the enemy in one fell swoop. At this time, the Japanese puppet army on the periphery also reacted, and they quickly launched a centripetal attack on Ji You.

Seeing that the western Hebei guerrillas were about to be surrounded by the Japanese army again, the commander of the summer battalion and the cavalry battalion suddenly came out from behind the devils. The Japanese army was really panicked at this time, and they didn't know how many men and horses were hiding here. However, the Japanese were well-trained after all, and under the command of their commanders, they quickly reorganized themselves and launched an offensive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the summer battalion commander was busy directing the troops to fight and retreat, but because there were too many enemies, there were cavalry and cars to maneuver. They were soon caught up by the Japanese again, and they had to retreat to Beima Village.

The warriors of Jiyou rely on two feet to maneuver, and they can't run for so long. Professor Yang decided to lead his soldiers to hold on to Beima Village and let the cavalry battalion break through.

The commander of the summer battalion asked the political commissar to break out with most of the soldiers, and he himself led a platoon of cavalry to follow Ji You into Beima Village. Because he was worried that Ji You's lack of combat experience would make it difficult to organize a breakthrough when the time came.

The Japanese army then surrounded Beima Village, and the main force led by Duan Shuanghu arrived at this time. Seeing that the Japanese army did not attack immediately, he asked the soldiers to occupy a few high ground on the outskirts of Beima Village first. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army also had this intention, and the two sides soon fought around a few pieces of high ground.
