When Chen Yao found the Jinpu detachment first, the Oshima Hisachi Wing had already set off to the south and moved along the Jinpu line to Chenguantun.

It is less than 20 kilometers from the main force of the Jinpu detachment.

The Jinpu Detachment, which was reorganized from the Ayutthaya Guerrilla Brigade and others, has complex compositions, including those originally from the Wei Army, as well as some local armed forces and a company of the Eighth Road.

Wang Juemin, commander of the detachment, was formerly the head of a main regiment of a military sub-division and had rich experience in counter-sweeping.

Therefore, when Chen Yao found him first, the two sides verified each other's identities, and Wang Juemin decisively chose to believe it, and immediately asked the troops to transfer.

Head west away from the Jinpu Line and into the wetlands crisscrossed by ditches.

There were no roads at all, not to mention mules and horses, and it was difficult for people to walk, so that the Oshima Kucho United, who was closely behind, even gave up the mules and horses, and put all the heavy weapons behind.

He followed the Jinpu detachment with 3 main infantry brigades.

Now his strength is close to 3 to 1 against the Kamitsuura detachment, even if the heavy machine guns and artillery are left behind, Oshima Hisashi is very confident that he can wipe out the Jinura detachment in one fell swoop.

After all, even without heavy machine guns and artillery, with the crooked handles and grenadiers of the infantry brigade, it would be overwhelming to face the Jinpu detachment.

There is no possibility of losing this battle.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that even if these wetlands are too annoying, the speed of the march cannot be raised at all, and after chasing for a long time, the two sides seem to keep a distance of 20 kilometers forever.

......

On the other side, all the way to the rush, all the way Gao Jianwu is constantly integrating the team.

It turned out to be more than 200 prisoners and more than 30 soldiers under the Eighth Road, Gao Jianwu took them as the core backbone, as well as the low-level soldiers of the national army who dared to fight and selected along the way, and reorganized into 3 core combat companies, with machine guns configured to squads, 13 people in each squad, 40 people in each platoon, and 121 people in each company, all of whom were combatants.

The platoon commanders of the company were all elite soldiers of the Eighth Road, and many of them were originally platoon commanders and squad leaders, who were soon integrated and formed as the first battalion of the main battalion of the troops.

This battalion commander was personally controlled and commanded by Gao Jianwu.

The remaining new troops, Gao Jianwu reorganized into the second battalion and the third battalion, of which the second battalion was commanded by Chen Shugen, and the third battalion was commanded by Lin Shaozhang.

After such a reorganization, Gao Jianwu's subordinates have a main battalion that can fight, not only the machine guns are on duty, the squad platoon leader also has submachine guns, although the firepower is a little worse than a detachment in Dagushan, but it can already be regarded as a first-class elite in the Eighth Road.

Although the second and third battalions were said to be much worse in preparation and strength than the first battalion, they basically had one gun and dozens of bullets, but nearly half of them were untrained peasants, so they could only serve as suspicious soldiers and fight the water dogs.

As for the remaining 1,78 laborers, Gao Jianwu honestly used them as a baggage team, taking turns to carry things.

Although it is said that dealing with all kinds of things makes Gao Jianwu vomit blood tired, but to have the current conditions, Gao Jianwu is already very satisfied.

Overnight, at dawn, the team headed southwest to the vicinity of Dawangzhuang, 50 kilometers away.

"Commander Gao, we have entered the periphery of the Jinpu detachment's base area." Cao Yuanhong, the former leader of the Jinpu detachment of the Eighth Division, ran to Gao Jianwu and reported that he was now the commander of a company in the first battalion.

"It is recommended that the troops rest here, here we have a certain mass base. The common people will not snitch. ”

"Okay, go to the village and rest." The reason why Gao Jianwu dared to go south was because he found many soldiers and cadres from the original Eighth Division, and several of them were from the Jinpu detachment.

With them leading the way, although it is said that the Jinpu detachment will not be found immediately, it is only a matter of time.

No, Cao Yuanhong led the team into the village to arrange and restrain the team, and immediately went to find the local hidden militia, and soon got in touch with the local militia team, and through them sent people to find the district team and the county team.

At the same time, I also learned about the local hostile situation.

"There are five or six hundred little devils in Chenguantun?" When Gao Jianwu heard this, the local map automatically popped up in his mind, and he quickly found the map location of the little devil's station, and after a little check, it was only about 30 miles away from them.

"Do you have any details about the little devil?" Gao Jianwu asked.

"The specific situation is not clear, but I heard that the little devil chased into the wetland with a large group of people, and what is left of this part is most likely the little devil's heavy weapons and baggage." Although Cao Yuanhong was captured, he also fought a lot of battles and still had some combat experience.

This wave of analysis makes sense.

Gao Jianwu nodded and pondered for a while.

Gao Jianwu stood up and resolutely ordered, "Send more people to reconnoitre, be sure to find out the enemy's situation, and rest during the day and prepare to act at night!" The rest of the people are bound to the village and are not allowed to go out, and if they escape, they will be shot immediately, and they must not leak the news! ”

Although the number of little devils is larger than that of the first battalion, if it is really the opponent's baggage and artillery team, then Gao Jianwu is confident that he will take the first battalion to take it!

On the one hand, Chenguantun is close to the railway line, and it is a security area controlled by the little devils, and as many as five or six hundred little devils are there, and the main force of the little devils is now running around with the Jinpu detachment, and the little devils never dreamed that there would be such a large-scale force to sneak attack them.

On the other hand, more than half of Gao Jianwu's integrated battalion are soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and they are not lacking in both fighting will and combat experience, and they have implemented the characteristics of Gao Jianwu's firepower as king in terms of firepower. In terms of light firepower, one company had nine light machine guns and a dozen submachine guns.

In the face of a group of small devil baggage teams and artillery based on the 38 big cover and the king 8 box, that is an overwhelming advantage!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter.

Gao Jianwu almost had an instinct for seizing the fighter.

So almost without hesitation, it was decided to fight.

Of course, before the war, Gao Jianwu did not try his luck by taking it for granted, but sent scouts to find out the truth of the little devil.

Things went even more smoothly than Gao Jianwu imagined, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the people who went to reconnoiter began to return one after another, and although the news brought was slightly different from the speculation, it was very different.

In addition to the artillery and baggage brigade, the little devil also left a squadron of heavy machine guns!

This news made Gao Jianwu have a slight toothache!

In terms of artillery, the little devils left behind a mountain artillery squadron, an infantry artillery squadron and 3 artillery squads left by the infantry brigade, a total of 4 mountain guns and 10 Type 92 infantry guns, nearly 350 little devil artillery. This part of the artillery self-defense weapons is mainly based on the Wang Ba box and a small number of 38 large covers.

Generally speaking, in the face of night attacks, the artillery of the little devils is a soft persimmon that is relatively easy to handle.

The heavy machine gun squadron left by the little devils has 8 heavy machine guns and nearly 200 little devils, which is the strongest firepower among the little devils left.

As for the baggage team of the little devils, there are more than 100 little devils in total, and the weapons are 38 big covers and a small number of crooked machine guns, these little devils are generally old and weak in the second or even third line, and their strength is not good.

But adding up these little devils, there are nearly 700 little devils stationed in the entire Chenguantun!

This is not a small number, in terms of the formation of the squadron, it is a full 4 integrated squadrons and an artillery squad close to the integrated squadron!

The good news is that the three of them are stationed in different courtyards, and there are still two three hundred meters away from each other, which makes Gao Jianwu see an opportunity.

In all fairness, the strength of the little devil is indeed not something that ordinary Eighth Route guerrillas can touch.

Once they join forces, even if the Jinpu detachment meets now, they won't be able to win!

But Gao Jianwu was not afraid at all, and still decided to take advantage of the night to sneak attack, and he took a battalion with him!

Although it is said that the second and third battalions are equipped with weapons and have a certain combat effectiveness, in Gao Jianwu's view, this kind of contingent, which has not undergone ideological transformation and military training at all, cannot be used in night battles, or even field battles.

At most, it is harassment or positional warfare, and there is still a certain combat effectiveness.

Instead of taking them to send them to the head, it is better to stay and reform well, there happened to be a few Dagushan soldiers who had participated in the ideological transformation to stay as the company commanders of the second and third battalions, and Gao Jianwu let them start to complain about the thoughts of the conference.

And Gao Jianwu himself, with a battalion, quietly touched Chen Guantun when night fell!
