At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the light in the forest began to gradually dim. Li Yuan was arranging the investigation. He personally led a row of three sharp soldiers, and Ma Xiaosan led the way. The three soldiers formed a triangle to "protect" Ma Xiaosan in the middle to prevent

just in case.

Five people were lying in the forest on the mountain about 300 meters away from the yard. They were looking down from a high position. Li Yuan had been observing the yard in front. There were very few people walking around in the yard. If the Japanese were here, they should be hiding in the room.

It was almost dark, and Li Yuan noticed that a smoky house in the west started to smoke. It should be the kitchen, and someone started cooking dinner inside. Normally, people should cook before dark to save lamp oil. Someone in each house started to cook.

Walking around, I could barely see in the dim night that all of them were wearing national army uniforms.

Li Yuan finally figured out how the Japs entered the 60th Division's defense area: it must have been that the 60th Division was gathering up the defeated troops with Xie Shengbiao during this period, and the sentries at various intersections did not strictly review the defeated troops, allowing the Japanese to take advantage of the loophole.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps on the trail nearby, and a group of national soldiers carrying rifles patrolled along the ridge from the north.

Li Yuan and others had already moved forward, and it was getting dark. They were not worried about being discovered. If they had not known the possible details of this group of people, they would not have been able to spot the Japanese devils at all. Ambushing in rows and three rows was their strength, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.

The patrol gradually moved away from the ridge not far behind Li Yuan. The Japanese had posted sentries at every intersection to the east. The only thing I didn't expect was that someone would stab him in the buttocks through the bamboo forest fifty or sixty miles away, but here.

Patrols were arranged.

Jiuhuang Mountain is thirty kilometers uphill from the town to the independent company station! The Japs have only been here for a day. Even if they knew the news, they would not come back so quickly. Besides, they can be bypassed directly from the east. Only madmen can get through the mountains.

came out, but still arranged a warning.

The Japanese also captured a lot of people from the Zhu family when they went on a killing spree. They had already figured out the nearby terrain, population, and garrison information based on the map.

The Japs in the yard took advantage of this dark time to come out of the yard and began to move their bodies after staying there all day.

Li Yuan roughly estimated that the number of Japs was quite large, no less than two squads. In addition, those patrolling and conducting reconnaissance outside should be a squadron of Japs.

It is not easy to penetrate this place. Li Yuan's mind is a bit wild. Although he only has two platoons now, which is less than one-third of the Japs' strength, he can still catch the Japs by surprise. Once the battle starts, China will be nearby.

The army is not afraid either.

If the devils can get to this place, they can only use the equipment of the national army. The same is true for the devils. If the weapons of the Chinese army that are not familiar with them are used, the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.

Li Yuan had no intention of waiting for the people of the 60th Division! This matter must be done sooner rather than later. He should do it himself. The national army who got the news should come with reinforcements. If not, the worst he could do would be to retreat after fighting. Anyway, the Japanese army was on the mountain road.

Can't catch up.

The guerrillas from various southern provinces are moving out from various provinces to gather in Yansi, Anhui Province for centralized reorganization. The Japanese may get some information for the attack at this juncture, so they can do their best.

Li Yuan did not have much hope for the local army of the National Army, and a small group of Japanese soldiers chased a regiment of the National Army.

Ask a top soldier to go back and call the first platoon leader and the third platoon leader to come over. This time they will be under the nominal command of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was very decisive.

The first platoon leader and the third platoon leader said: "There is almost a squadron of more than 200 Japanese in front of me. My idea is that we should kill them. The orderer said that he has gone back to inform the company headquarters now, but I am not convinced about the combat effectiveness of the local army of the Kuomintang.

I’m not very hopeful, and I don’t know what you think.”

"The situation is very favorable to us now. This is just an advance team. Once the battle starts, their strategy will have failed, but the Japanese will retaliate crazily. We are not afraid of individual Japanese soldiers, but once they form a formation, they will

The destructive power is very great. In Shanxi, a small group of Japs could chase one of our regiments. However, we currently don’t have many bullets on hand, only six to seven hundred bullets in total, and in

There are more than 200 Japs now. We don't have enough bullets, so we need to get them from the Japs. They didn't bring their friendly rifles this time, and they used 79s. Let's try to capture them."

"clear."

"According to our tactical requirements during this period, we will never allow multiple people to attack at the same time and expose their firepower. We will use a three-stage attack and divide the two platoons into four teams.

The first team of 20 soldiers attacked the Japanese patrols and fired in two groups. The first group must fire all 5 bullets, and the second group fired 4 bullets. One bullet was left to rush into the enemy's head to replenish the gun. The leader of the first platoon

command.

At present, the bullets on the enemy's body are at least one base. After the capture, the three rows of gunless soldiers replenish the captured guns. No one is allowed to change guns, otherwise they will be shot on the spot. This is mainly to prevent the brothers in a row from using the old sleeves from being unable to bear it when the time comes.

Mistakes will be made and time is of the essence.

Let the ten soldiers in the third row divide the bullets into two groups and send them to the second and third combat teams respectively. At this time, the Japanese in the yard will definitely move out.

When the time comes, follow my orders, the Japanese will send out a small team. The Japanese will have a squad of 15-18 people. The Japanese are also called detachments. They will still have a team to stop the Japanese at about 100 meters, empty five rounds of bullets, regardless of the outcome, and crawl behind.

Withdraw 50 meters.

The second team ambush 30 people, with 15 people from each side facing each other in a kneeling position to eliminate the Japs' top soldiers. No one is allowed to stand up and aim above the Japs' chest. Each person only has one chance to shoot. The Japs will climb down, and a row of 20 people will counterattack.

Kill the enemy in three minutes and capture it. The three teams block the follow-up troops, shoot back, and retreat after three minutes. Repeat the same cycle as the first team.

Is it clear?"

"clear."

"Remember, we will attack the Japanese patrol at dawn tomorrow morning. We will not bring many grenades this time. During our attack, it is forbidden to use grenades. We must obey orders absolutely. Only one group of soldiers will suffer casualties. Now pick people.

Team training.”

"yes."

Prepare individually, Li Yuanzai is still analyzing it carefully. If you tell the first platoon leader and the third platoon leader, you may not understand. This time the Japanese are in one squadron, there are many people, and the terrain is similar to the place where we trained some time ago. The location is convenient for the Japanese.

We don’t know our current situation. The enemy is overt and we are covert. We use the enemy to advance and we to retreat. It is impossible for the Japanese to pursue a worthless unit of unknown origin. So if we keep dragging on, the troops of the 60th Division who have received the news will come to reinforce them. The direction of their breakout is

It must be facing east and south, then we will enter the defense line of the 60th Division, and we will have nothing to do. Their weapons and equipment are slightly better than ours, but fortunately the gap is not big.

Instructor Wu came back with thirty rifles and eight thousand bullets. The organization also considered the actual situation. There were more than 20 people in the fourth platoon and they were still recruiting troops, so they replenished these weapons and ammunition.

Organizationally, he vigorously developed the base areas. Chiang Kai-shek did not provide guns or bullets, so he only provided two divisions. The C division was given a total of 60,000 yuan a month. The food money was not enough, and the weapons were arranged uniformly.

?

Company headquarters.

The intelligence from the first and third platoons has been received. Li Yuan did not ask for help. After discussing with Wu Xing, squad leader Qing decided to send a correspondent to deliver the message at the foot of the mountain. He himself took the second platoon to reinforce. The instructor stayed behind and transferred all 30 79 rifles to the second platoon.

, all the old sleeves of the second platoon were given to the fourth platoon. Everyone in the independent company already had a gun, and each person brought a hundred rounds of ammunition to reinforce the first and fourth platoons.

One hundred rounds, the bullet bag was heavy and exciting.

Captain Qing hasn't fought in a war for a long time. I heard that the Japanese are very powerful, but I haven't fought with a real sword or a real gun. However, I heard from Instructor Li that the enemy's guns are accurate and their military capabilities are strong. This time we can't even improve.

Come on, I used to fight against the Kuomintang and work hard to survive. Now it is also the duty of soldiers to protect our country and our country.

Under the leadership of the leading soldiers, he went to the cooking class with the soldiers who came back to report. With three days of dry food, they walked in the direction that Li Yuan traveled during the day. Since he had cut a lot of bamboo during the day, with these marks, he would not get lost.

The gap between walking at night and during the day was much greater. The speed could not increase, and about forty people slowly and arduously walked southward.

At the headquarters of the Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu guerrillas, the chief of staff held the telegram in his hand, frowning, and decided to inform Commander Xie. Commander Xie had already fallen asleep. During this period, he was busy collecting broken troops, local armed forces, reorganizing troops, and fighting against the Japanese.

, I also slept little, and I had a big battle with the Japanese in Chenjiaqiao last month, killing more than 100 Japanese, and the troops suffered a lot of losses. This little Japanese is really haunting me.

A Japanese advance team actually appeared at the joint between himself and the 60th Division. This meant that the Japanese might attack from the south of Taihu Lake. There should be a Japanese advance team along the Huzhou Changxing front line. The Red Organization had more than a hundred Japanese soldiers to deal with Qingshan Kei.

, that is definitely not an opponent. It is unclear whether there are Japanese advance teams elsewhere, so the commander must make a decision.

Immediately ask the guards to inform the commander and guards that something big has happened.

Commander Xie quickly came to the headquarters, his eyes bloodshot, and asked about the situation.

"The guerrilla intelligence of the red organization should be accurate. We should investigate the broken troops that passed through our defense zone during this period to avoid attracting wolves into the house. In addition, we should notify the friendly 49th Division and 60th Division to pay attention to this problem and investigate them one by one."

Chief of Staff: "I will ask the operator to record and send the report immediately."

"In addition, the independent company has already gone to conduct reconnaissance for this Japanese advance team. Their equipment is poor. I heard from the brothers below that they only have old sleeves and no machine guns. There is a huge difference in strength. It is better for us to send people to eliminate them."

Chief of Staff: "I'll make arrangements right away."

"But if it is really the advance force of the Japs, we don't have any important military targets here. It is probably just a small group of Japs. We have a battalion here in Chenjiaqiao. Let Battalion Commander Liu send a company to attack from Chenjiaqiao, plus an independent company to block it.

In the mountains, they are good at this. They can defeat the Japanese without any problem. Let's go and see together tomorrow."

Chief of Staff: "Can't we annihilate the Japs? We just defeated the Japs in Chenjiaqiao last month and killed a Japs major. Maybe they were the remnants of the Japs?"

"Impossible. It's been half a month. There's no need for the Japs to stay lurking for half a month. They are gaining momentum during this period and won't do such time-wasting things. They must be coming from the direction of Huzhou. I guess their target this time is

Our Susie scene, this is just my idea."

Chief of Staff: "The situation in the north is tense. The Nanjing Japs are marching northward, the North China Japs are marching south, and the Shandong Japs are marching westward. They are attacking from Zaozhuang, Shandong, to Xuzhou, Northern Jiangsu. They are attacking in three directions from Zaozhuang, Shandong to Xuzhou, Northern Jiangsu. They are trying to open up the Jinpu Railway line and complete most of East China.

The occupation purpose. Then we will not have large-scale military operations here."
