Xu Dalong arrived at the entrance of the regiment gate and saw Sun Desheng waiting there.

Seeing Xu Dalong coming, he hurriedly came up to him and said with a smile: "Brother Dalong, you come to see the regiment leader, do you want to go out to fight? If you want to go out, you should also take our cavalry company with you."

Xu Dalong smiled and said: "That's what I have in mind, let's go find the group leader together."

Sun Desheng said happily: "Great, then we have decided that we will act together."

The two were about to enter the regiment headquarters when they heard someone from behind shouting: "Brother Dalong, Captain Sun, wait for me."

The two of them turned around and saw that it was Wang Chengzhu, so they stopped and waited for him.

Wang Chengzhu trotted and came to the two of them and said: "Brother Dalong, are you going to go out to fight? You see, our artillery company trains every day and can't win any battles. If you want to go, take us with you."

There are not too many people to fight. Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Okay, then let's go to see the leader together."

Sun Desheng was unwilling, and said: "Wang Chengzhu, what are you causing trouble? When our cavalry company and special service company go out to fight, they rely on horses to run fast. Your artillery is simply a burden. You should go to fight with the infantry battalion."

Wang Chengzhu glared at Sun Desheng and said, "Sun Desheng, I'm talking to Brother Dalong, why are you talking so much?"

Wang Chengzhu said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, I take them to disassemble and assemble the Type 92 infantry gun every day. I have become very familiar with it. When marching, they are carried on horses. When it is time to use it, I guarantee that the most

It won't take more than three minutes to assemble the Type 92 infantry gun, and the battle will not be delayed. Just take our artillery company."

Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Okay! I have no objection, let's go see the group leader."

The three big guys from the Independent Group looked at the three treasures, Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu, all with smiles on their faces.

Li Yunlong said: "You want to go out to fight together, no problem. Then go ahead."

Zhao Gang said: "The special service company, cavalry company, and artillery company will fight together, which will be more powerful."

Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, the three companies are fighting together. I suggest Xu Dalong be the commander."

Li Yunlong said: "That's it. Dalong, after you go out, everything will be up to you. I only have one request, don't suffer a loss, just bring back more things."

Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commanders, just take a look at it."

In this expedition, a total of 43 people were dispatched from Xu Dalong's special service company, 61 people from Sun Desheng's cavalry company, and 18 people from Wang Chengzhu's artillery company, for a total strength of 122 people.

The artillery company carries the Type 92 infantry gun and three mortars, the special service company carries four mortars and six light machine guns, and the cavalry company carries two mortars and four light machine guns. The firepower is quite powerful.

In order to be able to carry the captured supplies in the future, in addition to the total 122 horses each person rode, 20 more horses were specially carried.

During the expedition, in addition to the three regiment leaders, the rest of the battalion and company commanders also came to see him off. They looked at the three companies directly under the regiment that were well-equipped and had strong soldiers, and they were all very envious.

They envied the weapons and equipment of these three companies, and also envied them for having wars to fight. They had no choice now. Not only were the weapons and equipment poor, but there were also too many recruits. If they wanted to go out to fight, they could only wait for the opportunity.

The troops set off. The direction of their march this time was Xinhe County, 140 kilometers away from Yangcun.

Xinhe County is a new area for the Eighth Route Army. Xu Dalong and others know almost nothing about the situation here.

Entering Xinhe County, he saw a village in the distance. Xu Dalong sent Zheng Xirong to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Zheng Xirong put on ordinary people's clothes and entered the village. When he came back, he reported the situation in the village.

The village in front is called Xiwangzhuang, with more than 100 households. The chairman of the maintenance committee of the village is a big landowner, and his son is the police chief in Liuhe Town, eight kilometers away from Xiwangzhuang.

Xu Dalong liked this situation the most. He asked Monk Wei to take a squad of soldiers into the village to raid the home of Chairman Sui.

Monk Wei and others deliberately swaggered into the village and announced with great fanfare that they were going to arrest the president of the landlord maintenance association.

They did not arrive at the Chairman's house until someone from the Chairman's house came out on horseback, left the village, and ran to Liuhe Town to report the news.

The traitor maintained a few servants in the house of the president. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was not coming in large numbers, he fired shots from inside to resist.

Monk Wei used a machine gun to suppress the firepower of the servants. Wang Gensheng threw in three grenades in succession, killing several servants, and no one dared to resist anymore.

A soldier rushed to the gate of the landlord's compound and blew open the gate with a grenade. Monk Wei and others rushed in.

Monk Wei caught the chairman of the maintenance association hiding under the bed and asked him fiercely: "Do you want money or your life?"

President Wei was willing to pay, but he only asked Monk Wei and others not to harm his family.

After receiving the report, the son of the maintenance president in Liuhe Town went to the squadron leader of the pseudo-security team in the town and promised to pay 1,000 oceans to ask him to send troops to rescue the people.

Soon after, Chairman Sui's son led six puppet policemen and more than 20 puppet soldiers out of Liuhe Town and ran towards Xiwangzhuang.

Just as they were approaching Xiwangzhuang, many Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appeared in the fields and fired at them randomly, killing seven or eight puppet soldiers and policemen on the spot.

When the puppet soldiers and police saw so many Eighth Route Army troops coming, they were so frightened that they hurriedly lay down on the ground and fired their guns randomly.

A soldier from the special service company held a tin trumpet more than a foot long in his hand. His voice was very loud. Coupled with the amplification of the tin trumpet, the sound was clearly transmitted to the pseudo-police and puppet soldiers.

in the ears.

He shouted: "You have been surrounded. The Eighth Route Army treated the prisoners preferentially and refused to kill them until they surrendered their guns. Now I will give you three minutes. If you do not surrender, you will all be wiped out."

Seeing so many Eighth Route Army troops outside, most of the puppet troops wanted to surrender.

The son of Chairman Sui was unwilling. He shouted: "Don't surrender. This is not far from Liuhe Town. If you hold on for a while, reinforcements will arrive. As long as you don't surrender, after the battle, I will give you 20 oceans each."

, no, 30 oceans.”

When they heard that so much money was being offered, the puppet soldiers hesitated.

Time passed by minute by second, and soon, three minutes were up.

Xu Dalong said to Wang Chengzhu: "Captain Wang is up to you."

Wang Chengzhu had been waiting for a long time. He waved his hand and said: "Fire."

The two mortars that had been set up already fired a mortar shell each.

The shells fell among the enemy, and although they were all lying on the ground, several were killed or wounded.

The puppet platoon leader saw that the opponent actually had artillery, and knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die.

He didn't care about it anymore, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grandpa Eighth Road, stop fighting, we surrender."

The three living pseudo-policemen no longer cared about Chairman Su's son, and they also shouted: "We surrender."

The soldier from the special service platoon with a loud voice shouted again: "Everyone stand up, put their guns together, put their hands on their heads, and stand in a row."

The puppet soldiers and policemen obediently complied, and the son of Chairman Sui had no choice but to follow them and hand in the gun.

Two hours later, the sentry at the gate of Liuhe Town saw a group of puppet troops approaching.

They greeted the puppet platoon leader walking in front with a smile. When they saw that the puppet soldiers behind him were all strangers, it was already too late. The soldiers from the special service company disguised as puppet soldiers had already pointed their guns at them.

Target them and disarm them.

Xu Dalong and others escorted the puppet platoon leader and continued to walk into the town and entered the puppet army's barracks.

They quickly dispersed and blocked all the puppet soldiers in the barracks. They shot and fired grenades randomly and quickly ended the battle.

When Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and others heard the gunshots in the town, they immediately rode over and quickly took control of the entire town.

Xu Dalong and others stayed in the town for three hours and confiscated the property of the traitor leader in the town. They only wanted real money and silver so that the traitors would not be completely bankrupt. After these guys were fattened, they would plunder from them in the future.

.

Seeing that the harvest was quite large, all the 20 horses he brought were fully loaded. Xu Dalong decided to give up when he saw the opportunity, so he, Sun Desheng, and Wang Chengzhu led the team on the road back to the Independent Regiment.

On the way, Sun Desheng felt that it was not enough. In this battle, his cavalry company basically did not exert any effort, and he couldn't help but mutter.

Xu Dalong had no choice but to comfort him and said: "Send the things back first and rest for half a day, and then we will set off again."

Sun Desheng stopped complaining.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Dalong and others were marching. Xu Dalong suddenly stopped and made a gesture to signal everyone to be silent.

Then he rode to the roadside and listened.

After a while, he said: "Captain Sun, Commander Wang, come here."

Sun Desheng rode over and asked, "Brother Dalong, what's wrong?"

Xu Dalong said: "There are gunshots on the right, you stay here, I will go take a look first."

Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu listened carefully, but couldn't hear anything. They both looked at Xu Dalong in confusion.

Wang Chengzhu said: "Did you misunderstand? There is no movement."

Sun Desheng also said: "Yes, why can't I hear you?"

Xu Dalong said: "Come on, just wait here and be careful." After saying that, he called Zheng Xirong and two soldiers and left on horseback.

Xu Dalong and others galloped for about a kilometer. Zheng Xirong and others also heard the gunshots coming from the front. They all admired Xu Dalong and did not expect that he could hear it so far away.

Xu Dalong and others continued to move forward, and the sound of gunfire became increasingly clear.

They rode their horses up a small slope, and looking from a distance, they saw two groups of people fighting in front of them.

A group of people wearing dark gray military uniforms, who should be members of the Shanxi-Sui Army, were retreating. Behind them, a group of Japanese soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms were chasing them.

Xu Dalong observed for a while, then sent a soldier back to report the news, and asked Sun Desheng to leave a cavalry platoon to take care of the supplies while the rest came to join the battle.

Soon, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and others rushed over.

Xu Dalong formulated the battle plan and explained it to Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and others, and then everyone started their actions separately.

The unit being chased by the Japanese and puppet troops was a company of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, led by company commander Gao Liansheng. He was responsible for escorting food to the regiment headquarters, but was attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops on the way.

They fought and retreated, not only losing all their food, but also dozens of brothers.
