After more than 20 Japanese military vehicles passed by, two civilians followed the Japanese soldiers on the road and looked carefully for something.

After a long period of time, nothing was found. The military commanders who broke into the puppet army had no time to write down the information on paper and throw it at the agreed place.

The Japanese dispatched this time very quickly and on a large scale.

There is a radio link between the military command and the national army guerrillas, and the equipment is much better than that of ordinary guerrillas. The national army has high expectations for the Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui anti-Japanese guerrillas, and their support is also very large. The Ministry of Military Affairs has invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

A large number of Japanese soldiers set out to move westward, which soon turned into radio waves and sent to the Tianmu Mountain headquarters of the National Army guerrillas. A group of commanders quickly determined through intelligence analysis: the Japanese soldiers were ambushed in the morning, the battle situation was unknown, and now they are heading west.

The target of the operation should be the anti-Japanese armed forces who ambushed the Japanese in the morning, and the operation of the National Army guerrilla Zhang Minggao also took place today.

The Changxing National Army Guerrilla Force Zhang Minggao headquarters received the information, and several officials made a prompt decision and asked Company Commander Chen and others who had already set off to quickly withdraw: "Signal Corps, run forward and go south immediately to inform Company Commander Chen to cancel this operation."

Then several people began to study and felt that the Japanese should have noticed something. There might be Japanese or traitor spies in the army: the army set out yesterday, and the Japanese only got the news this afternoon.

It takes almost a day from Huaikan, the station, to the mountain road in Changxing City. It is just the time to go from this place to Changxing to report the news. It is impossible for the spies from the traitors to bring radio stations, and they can only rely on human power to transmit. The first thing should be

They are people who are familiar with the army, otherwise they would not know the whereabouts of the national army guerrillas. Secondly, we should check the personnel within the guerrillas now to see if there are any private soldiers who have not returned to the army today. Thirdly, the army station may also be the target of the Japanese suppression.

, but in mountainous areas, the sentries are placed far away, so they are not afraid of the Japanese.

The Japanese and puppet troops got off the bus almost three kilometers east of the ambush of the national army guerrillas. The Japanese captain personally commanded them and began to pull westward into the northern mountainous area. A small group of Japanese soldiers from the south searched westward along the road.

There is an armored vehicle in the middle of the highway, patrolling along the highway from east to west.

With the traitors leading the way, the Japanese traitors began to form an arc-shaped front in the east and moved toward the west.

The Japs coming from Surabaya in the west squeezed along the highway from west to east, and the possible positions of the guerrillas were drawn into a large encirclement. Soon the Japs' leading soldiers exchanged fire with the national army guerrillas.

The exchange of fire was not intense, and the national guerrillas were still waiting for the top soldiers to return.

The Wuxing guerrillas had already discovered this situation. About 500 meters to the west of the hidden sentry position on the side of the road, it was where a large number of Japanese soldiers got off the bus. The message began to be transmitted to the Wuxing guerrillas. The speed was too slow, and they crossed paths with Li Yuan and his party.

Pass.

At around eight o'clock, Li Yuan had arrived at the roadside from a kilometer east of the guerrilla sentry. There was faint sound of gunfire from the west, and news came from the front guard that there was not a single puppet soldier on the road tonight. It was very strange.

strangeness.

It was judged that the Japs must have discovered some other anti-Japanese organization in the west and took all the puppet troops to encircle and suppress them. The situation of the enemy in front was unclear, and they had other tasks, so it was impossible to support them.

The group quickly crossed the highway and headed north.

Company Commander Chen of the National Army guerrillas finally received news from the leading soldiers: there were nearly a thousand Japanese and puppet troops in the east and they were searching westward, and the troops may have been exposed.

Immediately give an order to notify the leading soldiers to retreat.

The National Army guerrillas, who had been waiting for a day, originally planned to take action at night. Now it seems that their whereabouts should have been tracked by the Japanese. Judging from the location of the Japanese discovered by the leading soldiers, it is still too late to escape to the north. It is safer to retreat to the northwest.

a little.

It was this safer decision that ruined the best opportunity for the National Army guerrillas to retreat. There were also Japanese traitors in the west. Unfortunately, the sentries in the west were secretly stolen by the Japanese sentries, and no news was ever sent back.

The forward sentry advancing northwest quickly discovered the Japs' top soldiers. It was already dark, and neither side opened fire in the darkness, so it was difficult to see clearly the status of the soldiers on both sides.

The guerrilla company commander Chen led a guerrilla force of close to 200 people this time, which was considered large in terms of the size of the guerrilla force. At its peak, the Changxing Independent Company only had a total of 200 people.

Company Commander Chen did not hesitate and ordered the troops to advance at full speed north, but it was still a step too late. The time was just a little behind. The Japs from Changxing in the east and Surabaya in the west had already encircled them from the north. They were only a minute or two ahead of the guerrillas.

, if the guerrillas retreated directly northward at the beginning, they would have jumped out of the encirclement in advance.

The Japanese did not set up a large defensive line, and some of them were puppet troops.

"Bang", followed by a dull gunshot of the 79th rifle, followed by gunshots all around, including the click of the Tomosaka rifle, the dull sound of the 79th rifle, and the roar of the crooked handle.

.

The screaming bullets were racing through the sparse forest with powerful kinetic energy. The guerrillas had realized that the Japanese and puppet troops had closed the encirclement.

There were flashes of muzzle flashes everywhere. There was no target in the dark night. They relied on instinct to shoot at places with muzzle flashes. In the dark night, the veterans of the national army guerrillas all lay on the ground, mixed with

Muffled groans and howls.

Company Commander Chen has confirmed that he has been ambushed, but from the muzzle flashes on the opposite side, we can see that there is no pattern and is not neat. It is more like an encounter. The enemy on the opposite side must have hastily set up an ambush. The best way now is to rush over quickly.

!

The dark night is not good for both sides. There is not much difference between offense and defense. It just depends on who has the fastest reaction, who has more people, who has stronger firepower, and who is least afraid of death.

Time is very important. Every moment the attack speed passes, more Japanese reinforcements will come from other directions, and the price paid by the national guerrillas will be higher. Company Commander Chen did not hesitate at all, and asked the ordering soldiers to raise their voices amidst the hail of bullets.

Issued an order: "Everyone, charge forward! Throw grenades, immediately!"

The national soldier took out a grenade, pulled the string and threw it towards the place with muzzle flash in front. The Czech machine gun fired at the place where the Japanese and puppet troops had intensive firepower. The grenade in front exploded among the Japanese and puppet troops, bursting out one after another.

There was fire and the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The Japanese soldiers were not stupid, and they also threw grenades. Fires and gunpowder smoke continued to rise on the way the national soldiers attacked. Some of the guerrilla soldiers were shot, some were hit by shrapnel, some died heroically, and the active ones were still attacking.

Those who charge forward are all veterans. Stopping means there is no possibility of living anymore, and no one wants to stop.

In the woods filled with gunpowder smoke, the living people were running forward desperately, shooting rows of bullets towards the muzzle flash in front, penetrating the dark night, and making chaotic screams, hitting the trees, and drilling into the front line of defense.

The body of the Japs and puppet soldiers is moving towards darkness with black...
