Wang Wen's plan was to wait until the puppet troops in front left, and then he and his group would return to Wuxing through this road.

It was already daybreak, and not long after, a gunshot rang out from the east side of the hill ahead, followed by swarms of gunshots. It sounded like at least hundreds of guns were firing at the same time. First there was the sound of two machine guns,

After a while, four or five more machine guns followed, howling.

From a distance, we can see that the puppet troops camping in front of the team are running quickly to the east. It seems that there is a battle in front. This group of Japanese soldiers should be going to reinforce, so there should be someone attacking in the east, which means that here

There are still people in front of the puppet army.

He instantly judged the situation and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't act rashly.

In my memory, there should be a river ahead, and that place would be suitable for an ambush.

Wang Wen couldn't sit still. Someone was ambushing the puppet troops in front of him, and maybe there were Japanese soldiers as well. Should he go and help him in the back, or should he wait until they were finished before going over? At this time, he was hesitating in his heart. This was a dilemma.

The choice is to wait until the vanguard comes back to reconnoiter the situation.

If the enemy's situation is unclear, one cannot act rashly.

After a while, the leading soldier came back: "Report, the people who were fighting in the front are at the bridge east of Licun. There are small Japanese and puppet soldiers, and there are quite a lot of them. Yesterday, we only saw the puppet army at the rear. There are more Japanese and puppet soldiers in the front."

There were many, at least hundreds of people, and both sides were shooting at each other across the river."

Just as they were talking, there was the sound of grenades exploding in the east. The Japanese grenadier soldiers really couldn't wait any longer. The attacker's machine guns moved south and north, unable to find a specific machine gun position. Two groups of Japanese grenade launchers were fired.

Soldier, set up the garrison hoe, step on it with your feet, estimate the distance, adjust the range nut, load the grenade into the assistant shooter, pull the rope to drive the trigger, two toms, the grenade rushes out of the grenade barrel, facing the other side of the river

Where there might be people in the reeds, they would just bomb them randomly, load the grenades, and fire again.

Company Commander Qing soon discovered two small black spots in the sky. Hearing the sound, he knew it was the Japanese grenade hand launching the grenade. He felt bad because the first wave of blows did not hit the grenade hand.

Dropped, now I can't throw the grenade over here at all.

There were too many Japs and puppet troops on the opposite side. I didn't figure it out during reconnaissance last night. This was what the Kuomintang instructor said was fire suppression. It couldn't be done. I quickly ordered a retreat along the river, to the north on the north side of the bridge, and then turned east.

Bypass the puppet troops who have crossed the river in the middle, and the soldiers on the south side go directly south and meet together at the south side.

There are three platoons led by Platoon Leader Chen of the Independent Company remaining on the west side of the river. If the enemy crosses the river, they can be hit with a shuttle. In an ambush, they must be staged. If the enemy is not prepared, they can hit them with a shuttle and run away.

The enemy's frontal attack was fierce, with both sides hiding in the reeds and shooting blindly. Our own side did not have enough troops. In addition to killing and wounding more than 20 Japanese in the first round, they probably didn't even touch a few Japanese hair.

But there have been quite a few casualties on my side.

...

These people were not the only ones who heard the sound of gunshots and grenade explosions. The nearest ones were of course Wang Wen's Wuxing guerrillas, followed by the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the road from Changxing to Guangde in the north. However, these people did not dare to move for the time being.

Wang Wen's enemy is unknown. The task of the puppet soldiers guarding the road is to protect the road. Although the fighting in the south is fierce, they dare not leave their posts without permission. It is still important to guard the road. If the road is destroyed by the guerrillas, it will be terrible.

, I heard that some time ago, the road from Wuxing in the east to Nanxun was dug for more than ten kilometers. Thousands of people were dug out for more than ten kilometers. It is said that it was done by the Changchao Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.

Lijia Village is only a few kilometers away from Changxing City. The Japs who were planning to go to Surabaya for a raid early in the morning, with two patrol boats, heard the sound of gunshots and cannons, like locusts hearing the sound of water, and roughly estimated their location.

They started to move at full speed to the west. According to their speed, they would arrive at the battlefield in about ten minutes at most.

In addition to the puppet troops stationed on the road, there are also Japanese patrols. This fixed post cannot be moved. The patrol heard gunshots not far from the road in broad daylight and summoned two detachments to prepare for the change of guard.

, two platoons of puppet troops also hurried towards the area where the gunshots were fired.

Miaoshan Village, south of Lijia Village, where the Wuxing guerrillas are stationed, is only about ten kilometers away from Lijia Village. Li Yuan was talking to Lao Shen. Early in the morning, a series of muffled sounds came from the north, with some vague sounds.

Not very clear about the intensive gunfire.

Lao Shen also heard the sound, thought for a while, and was shocked: Could it be that Wang Wen met the Japanese when he came back? He was the person in charge of the Wuxing guerrilla organization, and he was the only one who could speak to the Wuxing Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade.

If he doesn't go and he dies, and there are no organizational people here, then this team may follow the national army to fight guerrillas, so this person must be rescued and tell Li Yuan his thoughts.

Li Yuan conveniently put the map on the table, asked Wang Wen about his departure time, calculated Wang Wen's return time, analyzed the terrain, and said to Lao Shen: "The situation is not quite right. If it is Wu Xing

As for the guerrillas, there are only about thirty of them. This battle cannot be so powerful. You just said that they only have about thirty people when they go out, right? There shouldn't be such a big battle."

Lao Shen: "Other than Lao Zhang in the Wuxing organization, Wang Wen is staying in the guerrillas. Lao Zhang has just arrived. Only Wang Wen knows the situation of the guerrillas, so I suggest that we better go and take care of it."

Li Yuan: "If this is the case, but there should be other situations in between, in this case, you arrange for people to unload the things on the car and find a place to hide them. We will bring a platoon and drive over. Remember to arrange for the soldiers

Tire marks were cleaned up.

Time is very important now.

Neither the enemy nor we know the strength of the other side, and there are a large group of people from the periphery gathering here.

About fifty miles west of Changxing, the Nationalist Government Army Brigadier Xie Shengbiao formed the Zhang Minggao Division of the "Guerrilla Force in the Border Region of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces". He was the commander-in-chief of the Changxing Volunteer Guerrilla Force. The headquarters was located in Chahu, with a total of 3 brigades.

The establishment of the national army is at the battalion level.

From the map, the Zhangminggao Division in Huaikan is 40 miles due west of Qingwujie, the temporary base of the Independent Company. However, this area is completely mountainous and there is no direct road to reach it.

At this time, a force composed of almost a company of defeated national troops was ambushing in the woods not far to the north of the highway, preparing to wait until dark to perform a task similar to what Company Commander Qing had performed some time ago, which was also to destroy the Japanese transportation line.

, walked for almost a whole night, at dawn most people huddled together to sleep, and fell asleep not long after, preparing to wait for the Japanese convoy to come over in the evening to lay an ambush, and then attack a small bridge here.

It exploded, and the Japs' cars couldn't run for at least three or four days. I also heard that the Nanxun volunteers destroyed more than ten kilometers of roads a few days ago, and they even received awards.

At this time, I heard the sound of gunshots and exploding grenades coming from the east. Judging from the sound, it should be about ten kilometers away.

...

As soon as Captain Qing retreated, there were no more bullets flying towards the Japs. The Japs discovered it right away. A wave of raids caused so many casualties to the warriors. As soon as they found out that the people on the other side were about to run away, they were hurt.

The excited Japanese squad leader suddenly became fierce and ferocious, and immediately asked the puppet soldiers around him to charge across the bridge. If they had not charged, the Japanese machine gunners would have pointed their machine guns at this miserable group of puppet soldiers.

If there is still an ambush, let the Chinese attack the Chinese. The Japanese squadron leader forgot that none of the puppet soldiers who crossed the bridge first were injured!

Naturally, nothing happened when the puppet troops crossed the bridge. The Japs arranged for the medical soldiers in the team to treat the wounded, and the remaining forty or so Japs were ready to follow suit and rush across the river.

The puppet soldiers who were the first to cross the river and were still crawling to the east stopped when they heard the sound of gunfire. The brothers of the puppet soldiers behind followed them, shouting and shouting. Now that they were safe, they all got up immediately.

He is slapping the mud off his body.

Seeing the infantrymen crossing the river in pursuit, the four Japanese grenadier soldiers quickly put away their grenade launchers under the command of a sergeant.

The standard ammunition for the two grenades is sixteen. I fired almost half of it just now. I put the remaining grenades into a special ammunition bag and followed the Japanese infantry on my back, preparing to cross the river to pursue the abomination.

Most of the ambushers and Japanese infantry quickly crossed the river. The four grenadier soldiers trotted onto the bridge. Without any warning, a burst of gunfire rang out from behind. The four grenadier soldiers instantly became

After clearing the sieve, more than forty rifles opened fire at the same time, and the few infantrymen walking behind them were also on the road with them.

Now the Japs' heavy firepower was gone, and only a few machine guns could suppress the opponent's firepower. The Japs squad leader shouted angrily: "Ba Ge". He pulled the puppet company commander who was about to come over to slander him and gave him a slap in the face.

He ordered the puppet soldiers to follow the Japanese and set up their machine guns, and then fired at the river bank they had just come over.

At this moment, if they cross the river and have to fight back, they will become a target. However, there are two platoons of puppet troops behind the bridge with nearly a hundred people. The Japanese team decided to ignore these groups behind and come back to deal with them later.

The Japs squad leader ignored them and let the Japs force the puppet troops across the river to start chasing the hateful attackers who were escaping south.

Don't worry about those running north for the time being. They can't cross the highway in broad daylight. Kill the ambushers running south first and then come back and clean them up.

Company Commander Qing and his men were retreating south. The guerrillas were tall and the Japanese had short legs. They chased for more than ten minutes and ran four to five miles. They were all exhausted. However, the Chinese in front were still so tired.

Far away, the Chinese ran for a few minutes first, and now we were almost four to five hundred meters away. Although gunshots continued to sound, they did not cause any casualties.

Captain Qing forgot to place one or two thunderbolts on the ground so that the Japanese would be even less able to catch up.

The two sides pursued each other one after another.

The soldiers of the independent company running north found that no one was chasing them, and were preparing to cross the river to join their comrades. The leading soldiers in the north were running back: "There are Japanese and puppet troops coming towards us from the north. We

We have to think of a way. We can't go north now, we can only run eastward, reach the outskirts of Changxing and then retreat south."

Time was running out now. Every time we delayed, the situation became more and more unfavorable. Without any hesitation, the second platoon leader raised his voice and loudly issued the order: "Everyone retreat south! Now! Mine."

He pulled out the grenades he was carrying and began to place them at the places where the Japs were most likely to come. With these few grenades, the Japs who were reinforcing from the north had to blow up several of them to block the pursuit.

Then a group of seventeen or eight people began to run eastward. Several soldiers had already died. The two more seriously injured ones were hidden in the reeds. They were simply bandaged and carried grenades. If they were discovered, they would find a way.

Find the enemy to copy the book. If you are lucky, wait until dark. If you can't die, wait for your comrades to come to rescue you.

The grenade buried by the independent company exploded, setting off clouds of flash and smoke, rising into the air, and then scattered everywhere, carrying some fragments of the Japanese and puppet troops, creating pictures of blue smoke and blood.

.

The injured Japanese and puppet soldiers were howling. Some of the living people were running, and some were searching carefully on the ground. They hurried over to take care of their injured companions.

The grenade doesn't care who is using it. When the string is pulled, it will happily split itself into countless pieces and fly around. With speed, the tiny fragments penetrate into the flesh and blood, penetrate into the ground, and rush into the sky.

Finally it fell to the ground, just black and without a trace of emotion. Wherever there are people, there will be blood.

In front of it, whether you are a Japanese soldier or a puppet army, it means nothing. No matter you are fast or slow, or whether you are strong or weak, it will treat you equally. Contact with the vital parts will mean death. If you are not in the vital parts, you will die.

Even though he was injured, no matter what, the traitor slowed down his pursuit and looked at the ground again and again. Even if there was a vine on the road, he had to observe it carefully before passing.

The Japanese motorboats coming from Changxing came suddenly from the river in the north. The two motorboats had a very low water line. One of them had a machine gun on it and more than ten people.

The puppet soldiers on the ship were wondering that the gunshots in front of them had become quieter. They must be the Japs... No... the warriors of the Imperial Army had already won the victory. They just went to clean up the battlefield. At worst, they could dig in and bury the people.

Much more relaxed.

Spring in the south of the Yangtze River comes earlier than in the mountains. Young buds have just appeared in the mountains and fields, and the land beside the river is already full of spring colors. The newly grown twigs are mixed in the original woods, and the bright yellow leaves are surrounded by the dark green leaves.

As if there were layers of borders, layers upon layers, people in the fields secretly came out to dig the soil and plant crops for a year's livelihood.

From the Japanese motorboat, you can clearly see the distant mountains to the south, which are not very high. The sound of the boat's hull paddling across the river stirred up birds one by one, causing a burst of chaotic bird chirping. The only dense and secluded place

On both sides of the river, patches of reeds block the view. Occasionally, you can see further by passing by a fork in the road.

From the east side of the river came the sound of grenades exploding, accompanied by bursts of miserable howls, and nothing could be seen. From the south came sporadic rifle sounds, including those unique to the 38-Rifle and those of the 79-Rifle.

Sound, looking far south, there are only reeds sandwiched between the river, nothing can be seen.

The Japanese motorboat in the river has almost reached the bridge.
