In the middle of the night, when people were asleep, with the "pop bang" three gunshots, three terrifying red signal flares suddenly appeared in the silent night sky, and with the gunshots, fierce gunfire and shouting immediately sounded around Lijin County......

Recently, although the devil puppet army in the county town heard that the Eighth Road was making a lot of trouble, they never imagined that this day would come so quickly. Therefore, as soon as the third watch heard the gunfire in the middle of the night, the first reaction was immediately:

Bad! Eight roads are coming to attack the city!

The heart is weak, how many soldiers and horses in his hands, outsiders don't know, the devils are naturally clear in their hearts.

Since the beginning of winter, every night falls, it seems that there will be truckloads of devil soldiers being pulled into the city barracks, in fact, only the devils themselves know best: under the military uniform, there are straw-tied dummies. Every day, taking advantage of the hazy night, the devil soldiers put down the dummies in the carriage, quietly pulled them to a place where there was no one outside, erected the scarecrows one by one, and after camouflaging them, they were pulled back to the barracks with bravado and bluff.

In this cycle, fake dramas are really done every day, so as to hide people's eyes. Alas! …… The battle line is too long and the number of soldiers is small, in fact, this is also a way that the devils really have no way to do.

After some operation, how many devil soldiers are in the city, not to mention ordinary people, even the puppet army guarding the gate in the county town is not clear - this is also an important reason why these puppet soldiers pretend to be honest and lean over to obey the devil's orders on weekdays.

Realizing that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack the city, the devil puppet army desperately organized resistance, and on the other hand, quickly issued an order, ordering Luojia Town, Songjiazhuang, Chenzhuang Town, as well as the puppet army and devils in the artillery towers of Danjiasi and Shilibao and other strongholds, to rush to the county seat for reinforcements. So, the guys in the surrounding strongholds and turrets received the order, and immediately set out and hurried to the county seat.

At this moment, Yang Guofu and others, who had already been ambushed near Luojia Town and Songjiazhuang, saw that the time was ripe, and with an order, they jumped out of the trench and quickly outflanked the devil's stronghold. The morale of the soldiers was high, and they all competed for the first, like tigers descending from the mountains, and quickly captured the two strongholds of Luojiazhen and Songjiazhuang in one go. Then, he hurriedly fired a signal flare into the sky.

Seeing the signal flare vacated in the distance, Yun Shangren and others, who were feint in the county seat, hung a few slow-fired firecrackers in several hidden places, and then led the team to quietly retreat.

The two forward strongholds of Luojiazhen and Songjiazhuang were successfully conquered by the Eighth Route Army overnight, and the troops led by Yang Guofu opened the door to the west. Especially with the addition of Wang Xueting's uprising troops, the Eighth Route Army was even more powerful, so Yang Guofu quickly made deployments, and the Eighth Route Army began to march towards Yihezhuang, a key fortress in northwest Shandong where the Japanese puppet army was entrenched.
