Shanqian Town is in the deep mountains, how could the Japanese come over? Xie Pingyang, Liu Wenxue and Li Tieshu waited for the soldiers' reports and hurriedly ran outside the town.

There is a deep ditch several meters deep at the entrance of Shanqian Town. Everyone in Shanqian Town knows that this ditch is actually a river. During the rainy season, the water flowing from the mountain will gather in this river. When it is usually gathered, the river will dry out like a rocky ditch.

Xie Pingyang, Li Tieshu and others were standing on this side of the ditch and looking at the direction of the distant hillside guided by the soldiers with their glasses. Xie Pingyang saw a team of Japanese soldiers coming here on the hillside. Xie Pingyang observed carefully that the pair of Japanese soldiers did seem to be about the force of a squadron, but now the distance is so far, it is not possible to fully determine how many Japanese soldiers there are.

After Xie Pingyang put down his glasses, he ordered Chai Yunci who followed him: "A row leader! Quickly go to the town to organize the transfer of the people in the town. It is best to ask Mr. Hu Bencai to help persuade the people in Shanqian Town to transfer quickly. In addition, tell the Cao Dada and the Cheng Hu brothers that they should bring the brothers from Tianlongzhai here too!"

"Yes!" Chai Yunci saluted Xie Pingyang, turned around and left quickly.

After Liu Wenxue also put down his glasses, he said to Xie Pingyang in confusion: "This mountain town is in the mountains. It is said that the Japanese should not be able to touch them so quickly. Why did this group of Japanese come from here?"

Xie Pingyang Yaoyao said, "I can't figure it out, but now we have to prepare for the battle immediately. Since the Japanese have touched this place, I think they must have discovered us and let the brothers prepare. The people in the town must be moved out quickly, otherwise it will be very big and it will probably hurt them!"

Liu Wenxue nodded and said to Xie Pingyang and Li Tieshu: "You two are here to set up defenses. I'll go to the town to find Hu Bencai and ask him to help transfer the people! In addition, those who support the security team must also use it. No matter what, they are all Chinese. I don't think they will be indifferent to seeing their homes being ravaged by the Japanese!"

"Okay! I'll do this. Although the security team's combat effectiveness is very weak, it is still beneficial for our current strength to have these hundreds of people!" Xie Pingyang said.

After Xie Pingyang, Liu Wenxue and Li Tieshu divided the work, they immediately walked away to prepare before the war. Li Tieshu was responsible for the deployment of the defense in front of the formation. He broke up all the dozen soldiers of the spy company and let them get mixed with the people of Tianlong Village, hoping that they could be around to motivate the people of Tianlong Village to inspire their battles.

Tianlongzhai came to Shanqian Town this time, and nearly five or six hundred people were all taken to Shanqian Town by Shi Shanfeng. In addition to Shi Shanfeng's loyalty, there was at least a team of four or five hundred people left. In this way, Xie Pingyang and his team now have nearly seven hundred troops. Although their main combat power is still more than a dozen soldiers from the spy, they still have these people to defeat a Japanese squadron.

Not long after Liu Wenxue left, an emergency gong sounded from Shanqian Town, accompanied by the calls of the Hu family's servants. After hearing Liu Wenxue's words, Hu Bencai immediately asked the servants to organize the people in the town to move to the mountain east of the town without hesitation.

Xie Pingyang quickly brought Cao Blacksmith, Cheng Hu and the people from Tianlong Village to the front of the town. Without too much communication, Cao Blacksmith, Cheng Hu and others from Tianlong Village accepted the command of the spy agents, Xie Pingyang and others, and quickly used the deep ditch in front of the town to establish a blocking position.

Although the security regiment was not so smooth, since Shi Shanfeng, Wu Yong and others had been detained, the remaining soldiers of the security regiment were willing to accept the command of the spy company after Liu Wenxue's guidance, under the leadership of the Second Battalion Commander Pang Jiancheng.

When Liu Wenxue brought them to the front of the town, the Japanese team had already stopped not far from the front of the town. Both sides set off and the battle was about to break out. After seeing this formation, some of the soldiers of the security regiment retreated and regretted that they had just become hot and agreed to Liu Wenxue with Pang Jiancheng.

Xie Pingyang crawled out of the deep ditch, ran to Liu Wenxue and asked, "How is it? Are these people willing to block them with us?"

Liu Wenxue nodded and pointed at Pang Jiancheng beside him and introduced: "This is Pang Jiancheng, the second battalion commander of the security regiment. With the head of the battalion commander next to him, these brothers from the security regiment are willing to fight the Japanese with us. However, be prepared for someone to escape. Battalion Commander Pang also said just now that he is sure to leave the second battalion, and the remaining battalion commanders of the first and third battalions have been locked up by us. The soldiers may not be really happy!"

Xie Pingyang nodded and saluted Pang Jiancheng, saying, "Thank you for your understanding. Now the enemy is in front of me, I won't say anything. In order to prevent the escape situation you mentioned, I plan to let the spy company and the brothers of Tianlongzhai and the brothers of the security team be mixed together, so that it is also to prevent someone from escaping and being broken through by the Japanese!"

"I follow the arrangements of the superiors!" Pang Jiancheng, who looked burly, said to Xie Pingyang.

"Okay! Chief Liu, please break up the brothers of the security regiment. You and Deputy Li Lian and I are responsible for the command. We are the old rules, and each person is responsible for the defense line. Deputy Li Lian is on the first line of defense opposite the ditch, I am on the second line of defense in the ditch, and you and Battalion Commander Pang are on the third line of defense in the ditch."

"Okay! But company commander, I suggest that platoon leader Chai lead a team of troops and go back to the back of the Japanese from other places. The Japanese must have heavy weapons for attack. We have to knock out the Japanese heavy weapons anyway. Otherwise, once the Japanese use mortars and other weapons, I am afraid that the people from the Security Group and Tianlong Village will not be able to hold on!" Liu Wenxue was still worried about the people from the Security Group and Tianlong Village, so he made such suggestions.

Xie Pingyang immediately nodded in agreement and ordered Chai Yunci to select people who were not afraid of death and had the courage to form a commando of more than 50 people on the mountain in Zhenbei to go back to the Japanese.

What Xie Pingyang and the others didn't know was that the team of Japanese soldiers opposite them was actually a squadron of Kawashima brigade who had been chasing behind them. When Kawashima no besieged the spies and others, he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway, causing the people of Tianlong Village to ruin his plan.

The entire brigade of soldiers searched on the mountain for more than a day, and the Kawashima Brigade did not find any clues. In desperation, Kawashima no had to order a squadron to stay and continue searching. He took the remaining two squadrons to withdraw Fujing Castle and report the situation to Nagano Yoshio. Of course, he was inevitably scolded by Nagano Yoshio.

The one who was left by Kawashima No. was the devils of the third squadron of Kawashima Brigade. The squadron leader was a devil lieutenant named Toshiichiro Ida. The reason why Ida squadron was kept was because in the battle of Fujing, Ida squadron with the least losses in Kawashima Brigade.

At this moment, Toshiichiro Iida held his glasses and observed the situation opposite. When he was on the mountain, he had already discovered the figures of Chinese soldiers in this market. From the geographical location here, the Chinese soldiers appearing here should be the people they are looking for.

Toshiichiro Iida was very happy and wandered around the deep mountains for many days. Now, the emperor finally paid off and found these Chinese soldiers. He saw more than 100 Chinese soldiers from a deep ditch in front of the town, but he found that not all of them were Chinese soldiers. In the deep ditch behind these people, Iida could not determine how many people were inside, but behind the ditch, there was a team of two or three hundred people under the archway in the town, which seemed to be a local army in China.

Ida put down his glasses and said to the three lieutenants captains who were surrounded by him: "You guys! You should have seen it. The opposite is the Chinese soldiers we were looking for for many days. However, they have found hundreds of Chinese soldiers from somewhere, but judging from their outfits, they should be just some local troops and have no combat power. Tell the warriors of the Imperial Army to show their bravery and let these Chinese people tremble under the courage of the Imperial Army!"

"Hi!" The three lieutenant captains stood up and bowed to answer.

"Okay, prepare to attack! Captain Takeda, your team will launch the attack first!"

"Hi!"

A second lieutenant bowed and replied, then he turned around and walked towards the Japanese squad in front of him.

Li Tieshu, with more than 130 people selected by Tianlongzhai and the security team, and two soldiers from the spy company, were in front of the ditch as the first line of defense. He first asked everyone to spread the left and right in front of the ditch and dug out two single-soldier pits lined up together. Seeing the Japanese's actions, he knew that the Japanese would attack immediately.

Because he was worried about the people of Tianlong Village and the security team, Li Tieshu bowed and stood up from his pit, ran between the two connected pits and shouted to everyone: "Be careful of concealment, the Japanese are about to attack! Don't shoot without orders, please call my gunshot!"

Although the Tianlong Village and the security team on the first line of defense were selected brave men, the atmosphere of the war still made these people a little nervous. Some people were already sweating while holding guns, watching the Japanese opposite lying stiffly in the pit.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

...

The Japanese attack began, and the first thing was the mortar shelling. The rumbling sound of cannons sounded around them, which made the Tianlong Village and the security team more nervous.

The Japanese shells landed on Li Tieshu and their first defense line. Although there was a single pit to avoid it, some people were still lifted out of the single pit without explosion.

"ah……!"

"Ouch...!"

Such screams kept coming from his ears, which made some people from Tianlongzhai and the security team unable to withstand such a situation. The soldiers of the two security teams couldn't help but jump out of the individual pit and shouted that they wanted to escape back. However, just as soon as they stood up from the pit, one was blown up by shells in the air, and the other was shot to death by the Japanese from the advancing Takeda team.

After these two security soldiers, three more people from Tianlong Village stepped on them, stood up from the pit, and the Japanese killed them. With the lessons of these five people, the remaining people finally gave up the idea of ​​escaping.
