When the matter came to this, Yang Bangzi also drove away the people of the old third regiment, arrested and beat the deputy political commissar of others, even if you were the regiment commander in this unit before, that prestige is not as good as the ready-made regiment commander.

No one went to persuade Commander Liu for Yang Bangzi, no way, Yang Bangzi took dozens of his own people to chase east along the sandy land, and only ran out of a hundred meters, and there were traces on the yellow and clear sandy soil that looked like ploughshares.

Squatting down and looking at it carefully for a while, and then looking at the footprints in the middle of the traces, Yang Bangzi stood up and shouted to a soldier to go after the old three regiments, and told them that the devil had run away from this side! After saying that, he carried the gun and ran wildly.

This is indeed the direction in which Qing Shui and they withdrew, and the devil also sent scouts in the afternoon, and found that the area where the eight roads appeared in the morning in the south were still there, and some people wearing ordinary people's clothes were found in the east, guarding between the mounds.

Therefore, Qing Shui decided to attack the Eighth Road with a feint to attract the Eighth Road to the south, and then the large army quietly walked from the north end of the village to the position of the 1st Brigade for a while, and then turned into the small road marked on the map that led to Shijing Village.

The climbing plough tied with tree branches was really good on the yellow sand, and the Japanese army that dragged the wounded was running very fast in the dark, especially after the fierce gunfire in Linjian Village stopped, everyone ran forward with all their strength!

At the same time, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Northern Front also suddenly stopped attacking the 8th Route guarding the mountains, and the whole wing made a 90-degree turn, turning the direction of the southward offensive to the east!

And the 4th Garrison Brigade secretly went south from Ishii Village. As soon as it was dark, he left the village. It's going to be dozens of miles away. After arriving at the location of Haode discussed with Shimizu Daisa on the map, everyone turned westward and rushed forward in the direction of the Suzuki detachment's breakthrough!

It was almost effortless to cross the blockade line of the Eighth Road, and dozens of the Eighth Road relied on some broadswords and spears, a few earthen guns and earthen cannons, and under a single charge of the Japanese army, they fought with the devils who rushed up.

Shimizu Daisa looks at the body of Tohachi on the mound on a stretcher. The order was not to rest, to go west with all his might, to leave a small team, to be on guard for half an hour, and then withdraw after half an hour to catch up with the large army.

By the time Yang Bangzi and the others arrived here, the devil's army had already gone west for a long time, and as soon as they exchanged fire with the devil's rearguard troops, they didn't fire a few rounds of gunfire, and the devils on the opposite mound fled!

Yang Bangzi was a little suspicious when he saw that the devil ran so neatly. I heard gunfire coming from behind me, from the north side. When I heard it fiercely, it was a big army fighting, and I thought I had misjudged it, did the old third regiment catch up with the fleeing devil?

In fact, he misheard the battle between the first independent brigade of the devil and the old first regiment and other units that chased him, and misheard it as a battle between the old third regiment and the Suzuki detachment.

In addition, the small force of the devil who had just escaped, Yang Bangzi was a little doubtful of his judgment, and he didn't let him continue to chase, and after thinking for a while, he still came to remind him that there was still that kind of ploughshare on the sandy ground in front of him, so he ordered to still chase in this direction.

The sound of gunfire in the north is getting denser and denser, and from a distance, half of the sky is red from dozens of miles away! The battle was not small, more than 2,000 devils and more than 500 puppet troops, by the Eighth Route Army of more than 4,000 regiments of three regiments, plus more than 3,000 militiamen and fellow villagers, from the west, north, and south to the buttocks, stop-and-go, the more lively the fighting!

At this time, the Eighth Route Army of the Northern Front did not know that the devils in Linjian Village had escaped, and Regiment Commander Liu reported that the devils were going north to join the devils of the First Independent Mixed Brigade, and he was leading the team to pursue, and the troops of the Northern Front found that the First Brigade was about to run, so how could they care about the affairs of the south, and they were making great efforts to intercept the First Brigade.

The combat effectiveness of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade is not blown, it is indeed one of the best in the Japanese army, it was besieged by the 8th Road, retreated in an orderly manner, and did not fall behind at all, when the 8th New 2nd Regiment, which was ambushed between Shijing Village and Tuonan, was ordered to intercept it from the east, the troops of the 1st Brigade actually turned a direction as a whole, and instead of going east, they came to the road to the north!

When it was almost dawn, the devils of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, after fighting to the death, finally arrived at the road between Tuonan and Shijing, the road built on the sandy land, the roadbed was several meters higher than the general ground, and there was no grass growing on all sides, and there was no shelter at all, and the Japanese army used the road to zhanzhu.

After dawn, the devil's air force that took off from the Beiping and Zhengding airfields began to provide air cover for the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, and under the cover of aircraft strafing and bomb throwing, the devils finally broke through the defense line of the new 2nd regiment and successfully broke through the siege under the response of the Shijing Village garrison.

What about the Suzuki detachment led by Shimizu? The fierce fight in the north is to cooperate with his breakthrough, the attention and main force of the Eighth Road are in the north, and in the south, because of the contradiction between Yang Bangzi and the old third regiment, there was a mistake, so that Qing Shui picked up the loophole, confused Liu's big ass, and led the old third regiment to the ditch.

Yang Bangzi took dozens of people, and he had to fight with the rearguard troops of the Suzuki detachment, but he couldn't catch up with Shimizu Daisa, and when the northern line began to turn again, from east to north, the Suzuki detachment finally met with the fourth garrison brigade that came to respond!

Seeing that the disabled Suzuki detachment was picked up by the devil, he was just a few dozen people, and it was useless to catch up, so he had to retreat with people in frustration, and finally understood the taste of chasing Liu's big ass in the wrong direction, Yang Bangzi only scolded: "You are also worthy of being a regiment leader!" Stupider than a pig! After scolding, he threw his sleeves away.

The Guojiabaozi offensive and defensive battle, which lasted for nearly a month, from the initial devil who simply wanted to force down the cottage, to Yang Bangzi bringing people in to rescue, from negotiating the release of the prisoners to Qingshui's lone army going deeper, from the bloody battle of the cottage to the encirclement point for reinforcements, no one expected that the battle could be fought in a big way, and it ended hastily.

Originally, if Qing Shui didn't raise troops to retaliate because of his own personal vendetta, His Royal Highness the Prince was released by the Eighth Road, and the devil lost some people and guns and ammunition, and retreated to his own territory, everyone was very decent, but after this happened, as soon as the Pacific War broke out, no one would pay attention to this small cottage anymore.

But Shimizu Dazuo was not convinced, he was humiliated by the Eight Roads and laughed at by his colleagues, he couldn't swallow this breath, so he asked the people who were looking for a disciple to come to the soldiers and horses to sneak attack the cottage to retaliate.

This revenge ran into Yang Bangzi, and when he saw the devils slaughtering the people, he thought that he had to eliminate this arrogant devil, and Jihua had reported to the military region, and he wanted to use the cottage to drag down the devils, and let other brother troops besiege him, and they partnered to arrange this devil.

The Suzuki detachment was indeed hit hard, and it was not lightly dragged by Yang Stick, more than 1,400 people at the time of departure, and when they were counted after breaking through, even more than 400 wounded soldiers were counted, and more than 800 people escaped back, and half of them were killed! Beaten and crippled!

The troops of the 1st Separate Mixed Brigade of the Suzuki Detachment, which came to the rescue, fought for more than two days and lost four or five hundred men under the siege of the Eighth Road.

On the side of the Eighth Road, more than 400 people, including Mr. Guo Lao and Lao Wuzi, were lost in the cottage, hundreds of people were lost in the first brigade, and the old third regiment and the new second regiment lost a total of several hundred people in the process of pursuit, and the number of people lost in the battle with the devils was basically the same.

In terms of numbers and overall repelling the devils, it is a victory, but! The purpose of encircling and destroying the Suzuki detachment was not achieved! The purpose of encircling and annihilating the 1st Brigade was not achieved! The purpose of making the devils use the troops to sweep up the base areas in Jizhong and Shandong has not been achieved!

Strictly speaking, the Eighth Route Army's military region-level campaign was not well organized and failed, and Yang Bangzi stubbornly defended the excellent situation brought by Guojiabaozi, and the previous achievements were abandoned, so many people died, the Suzuki detachment was disabled, and the first independent mixed brigade was attracted into the encirclement, so the opportunity to haode fell short!

The only thing that can comfort the dead martyrs is that after this battle, the devils temporarily stopped large-scale sweeping operations against the base areas in northwest Hebei, and this confrontation between the enemy and us lasted until the spring of the following year, and the base areas were finally able to spare some energy to deal with the cold and hunger when the cold winter of 1941 was ushered in.
