After a short hesitation, Wang Ping was not polite, and stared directly at Yang Xiong and asked: "Platoon Commander Yang, you are also a veteran, and you have also beaten devils!" How about it, do you have any ideas to follow me and continue to fight devils. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I can't guarantee anything else, it's no problem to give you a platoon commander! ”

As a pure soldier, Yang Xiongzhen didn't know what else he could do after leaving the army.

Therefore, since he was rescued, Yang Xiong had the idea of continuing to join the army to fight devils.

As for the Eighth Route Army, he didn't think about it. But as soon as this idea came out, he was rejected by himself, and in his consciousness, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was too poor, and many people did not even have a rifle. If such a unit encounters a well-armed devil, isn't it sent to death?

But the independent battalion he saw in front of him was completely different from the Eighth Route Army he imagined.

All three or eight large covers, a large number of crooked handles, grenadiers, and even heavy machine guns and artillery.

Such equipment is not bad at all even compared to the Jin Sui army.

More importantly, Yang Xiong was shocked by the strong combat effectiveness shown by the independent battalion in the attack just now.

As the former Jin Sui army, Yang Xiong also thought about whether the Jin Sui army could take it if he sent a battalion to attack the Guanliang stronghold, but the final analysis result was that it couldn't, and even if it could be taken, this battalion would suffer heavy losses.

As for the Eighth Route Army, a main battalion with a serious shortage of personnel easily took the Guanliang stronghold. Not only did he destroy seventy or eighty well-armed devils, but his own losses were very small, which can be described as negligible.

In this case, as soon as Wang Ping opened his mouth, he was moved.

But he didn't answer immediately, but asked with a hesitant expression: "Sir, I want to ask, what will you do with the other people who surrendered with me?" ”

"Take two steps, screen first, and choose two paths when you don't do evil during the puppet army, one is to join the Eighth Route Army and continue to fight devils. There is also a way to leave the army, and we will pay a silver dollar for each person! ”

"As for those who have done evil, especially those who have blood debts in their hands, we will send them to the rear base area for labor reform according to the actual situation, or directly try and shoot them to death!"

After the last doubt in his heart was resolved, Yang Xiong was not hypocritical, and directly affirmed: "The chief thinks so highly of me, if I, Yang Xiong, don't follow the chief to fight devils, then I'm too sorry for my conscience!" ”

"In the future, my Yang Xiong's life will be the chief's, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, sir!"

"Good! Welcome to the Independent Battalion of the First Army Division of the Eighth Route Army! From today onwards, you will be the Eighth Route Army! Wang Ping also had a smile on his face and replied very happily.

Then he didn't forget to add: "Also, our Eighth Route Army is not the Jin Sui Army, officers and soldiers are equal, and there is no such thing as a commander to call the superior." When you see an officer above the regiment, you will call the chief, and if you see an officer below the regiment, you will directly call me the battalion commander in the future! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Yang Xiong reacted immediately.

Defeated the devil turret, and also accepted the talent of Yang Xiong, Wang Ping was so happy that it can be imagined.

It didn't take too long for Yan Song, the commander of the third company who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, to run over and report with an excited face: "Battalion commander, we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune!" ”

"In the ruins of the turret, we found a heavy machine gun, a crooked handle, three and two grenadiers, and 24 three-eight large covers, all intact and ready to be used immediately."

"The puppet army and the devils behind them seized 34 38 big covers, 96 other rifles, 6 pistols, a crooked handle, a total of 294 grenades and grenades, and a lot of bullets!"

"The most important thing is the arsenal behind the little devil's turret, a total of three brand-new crooked handles, 75 large covers, and more than 40 boxes of bullets, shells, grenades, and grenades!"

"As for other supplies, there are also a lot, at least 5,000 catties of refined grain, and dozens of boxes of canned food. As for other materials, because there are too many types, they have not been carefully counted! ”

"In addition, we also found 26 horses behind the turret, five of which are war horses, and the rest are camel horses for transporting supplies, all of them are fat and strong, and they can be used when pulled out!"

Wang Ping frowned, and directly asked the question that everyone around him wanted to ask!

"How can there be so much equipment and supplies, isn't there only one devil in the Guanliang stronghold, how can you hoard so much equipment."

Yang Xiong, who had just decided to join the independent battalion, hurriedly replied: "Battalion commander, you don't know anything. Although the devil here has only one reinforcement squad, the head of the devil is the rank of captain. I heard that as soon as the devil reinforcements from Laiyuan City arrive, this reinforcement squad will be expanded into a squadron! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, these equipment must be used for the expansion of the devil, and then it happened to be caught up by you, the battalion commander!"

"Looks like God is helping us!" Wang Ping's frowning brows immediately loosened, and he said very happily.

Then he ordered the two company commanders: "Zhang Yunshan, you are in charge of the prisoners, I will ask Yang Xiong to cooperate with you and let them help us carry the capture, one person carries a weight of thirty catties, and specially carries ammunition and boxes of canned food." ”

"Company Commander Yan, you are responsible for transporting captured food and other materials with captured horses and war horses, and if there are many horses, transport some equipment. As for the extra weapons and equipment, they will be distributed among our own people, and each person will carry one or two more rifles, which should not affect the march and battle. ”

"I'll give you two hours to prepare, and after two hours we'll retreat, and try to get back to the hiding point of our independent battalion before dawn!"

Wang Ping's purpose in taking two strongholds of the Japanese army in a row was to disrupt Laiyuan City, and then fish in troubled waters himself.

However, the devil is not a vegetarian either, and the whole independent battalion is cleaning up the battlefield and preparing to retreat. Unbeknownst to Wang Ping, a huge crisis was looming over him.

Before the battle began, the independent battalion cut the telephone line from the Guanliang stronghold to Laiyuan City. Because the distance is too far, the sound of gunfire here cannot be heard in the county seat.

But Wang Ping ignored the other two strongholds around Guanliang.

Because it was only seven or eight miles away, the sound of attacking gunfire still faintly reached the two strongholds.

Two strongholds in a row were captured by the Eighth Route Army, which really made Ono panic, and he didn't know how many Eighth Route Army troops had come from Laiyuan. Similarly, it also made Ono vigilant that his large and small strongholds scattered in Laiyuan could be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

So, just after Ono learned the news that the stronghold of Wuzhen was also captured by the Eighth Route Army, Ono issued an order for all the defenders of the stronghold to strengthen their guard. Once the Eighth Route Army is discovered, report it to Laiyuan City immediately.

The sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Guanliang could never have been made by the defenders of the stronghold themselves.

The most likely thing is that the Guanliang stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and this Eighth Route Army was also equipped with artillery. Although it was not known whether the Guanliang stronghold could withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army, the defenders of the two strongholds reported the situation to the Laiyuan Headquarters as soon as possible.

The chief of staff, who was preparing for the dispatch of troops, immediately realized that the Sekiliang stronghold might be in danger, and then reported it to Ono Daisa as soon as possible.
