In the dark night, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove unsteadily with its lights on near the dirt bag where the cavalry was attacked. The big motorcycle stopped in the mud on the side of the road. A Japanese man jumped out of the side compartment, looking around and shaking.

Wearing a raincoat, covering his face that was stiff from the wind, he stamped his feet a few times, ran towards Captain Maeda, and saluted.

"Report, a large number of unidentified teams were found south of Meixian County. They headed west an hour ago. Preliminary judgment is that they are the Eighth Route Army."

"I got it." Maeda said with a gloomy face. The security army pursuit team in Xinglong Town followed the footprints left by the Eighth Route Army and had already bitten the Eighth Route Army's tail. This news came too late.

"They're still heading west."

Maeda led the Japs and puppet troops to Xinglong Town, originally planning to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, but received news of the destruction of the cavalry unit. The captain of the cavalry squadron had the rank of captain, which was higher than the squadron leader of the same position and had the same military rank as Maeda.

This was the imperial warrior with the highest rank in Meixian County, so Maeda had to modify the battle plan and ordered the team's radio station to notify the Meixian garrison to prevent bad guys from jumping over the wall and attacking the county seat, and strengthened the county's defense.

He now has to consider how to report the destruction of the cavalry squadron. The cavalry is an aristocratic army in the imperial army, and most of its soldiers are from rich families in the island country. Now that it has suffered such a huge loss, it is worth worrying about how the Paiji Army Headquarters will deal with it.

The Japs infantry chasing eastward led the security forces, and had turned north and then west. The reconnaissance Japs had already reported the direction of the Eighth Route Army movement. This group of Eighth Route Army was very cunning, leading the imperial warriors in circles. The security forces in Xinglong Town

The Eighth Route Army and the defeated guerrilla troops were chasing the Eighth Route Army and were hanging behind the Eighth Route Army. Gunshots were heard from the northwest, indicating that the security forces had engaged the Eighth Route Army's rear-cut troops.

Maeda was very familiar with the terrain in this area. He basically knew the location of the Eighth Route Army without even using a map. For this reason, he had ordered all the Japs from the county town to mobilize for this battle to enhance the strength of Li Youde's troops. He divided his troops into two routes and one route.

Going west along the highway, the plan is to strengthen the defense line when the Eighth Route reaches Li Youde's security army defense line. The other route will go south from Meixian to join the security army where the Eighth Route crosses the highway, and then split into three routes to pursue westward.

This time, Meixian's troops were almost exhausted. Among the pursuing troops, the Japanese, security forces, police, and detective teams were all dispatched, vowing to wipe out all these Eight Route Army soldiers.

The Eighth Route Army was very cunning. They did not take the main road. They were marching in the wilderness. The cars could not follow them. Captain Maeda planned to personally command a Japanese squadron, attach a mortar team, and set off first by car to drive westward to Xinglong Town.

Move further north, catch up with the Meixian Security Army and the Xinglong Town battalion, and pursue the Eighth Route Army.

Reinforcing Li Youde's troops was a Japanese squadron. It went out of Meixian to the west at night. This was the greatest combat effectiveness. In the eyes of Captain Maeda, the Eighth Route Army was difficult to deal with. It was a rare opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to go out. Although Meixian sent out more troops.

, but if we can wipe out these eight groups in the mountain in one fell swoop, we can also have an explanation for the annihilation of the cavalry.

...

In the dark night, the group of people hurried on the road panting.

Ma Liang hurried back from the front and came to Hu Yi with one foot high and one foot low: "Brother, there is a village ahead."

Gao Yidao and Tang Dagou gathered around.

Gao Yidao sneered at the side: "There is no use in a village. How can you hide in the village and sleep?"

Hu Yi was silent and ignored Gao Yidao for a long time: "Is there anyone in the village?"

Ma Liang: "Same as last time, I shouted at the door for a long time, but no one opened it."

Hu Yi said in a deep voice to Tang Dagou next to him: "Big dog, go prepare a batch of grenades."

Then he turned his head and looked at Gao Yidao next to him in the dark night: "We have to stop the security forces who are chasing us here. We will have people go and drive away all the people in the village later, and we will enter the village."

Gao Yidao was unhappy: "Damn it, are you the commander or am I the commander? What do you mean by this?"

Hu Yi frowned: "Now that the security forces have caught up, more Japanese will definitely follow. You arrange for people to stop them and wait for the troops behind them to come over. Leave the security forces here and give them enough time to clear the village."

"Why don't you stay here?"

"The last task is your second company's mission, you can handle it yourself." Hu Yi looked coldly at Gao Yidao beside him.

Gao Yidao's anger rose: "You are just a selfish bastard!"

Hu Yi ignored him: "We will leave half of the people in the village to stop the attack, and the rest will go into the bushes in front. When it gets dark, let Lao Qin lead the Qiufeng guerrilla brigade into the mountains from Lushuipu. There is our army over there.

Internally, Li Youde will definitely send people to the border and the artillery tower. Whether they can pass or not depends on fate. We must keep people behind, otherwise, no one will be able to leave."

Gao Yidao was at a loss for words, feeling very unwilling, but he still cursed and called the second company soldiers over to convey the order to arrange manpower.

Then he looked at Hu Yi: "Hu, do you mean we should keep people in that village to work with the security forces?"

"If we all run together, if Li Youde and the security forces attack from both sides, do you think we can escape?"

"We can't forcefully break through Li Youde's defense line. Aren't you guys working with the devils from Green Shop?"

If Li Youde doesn't move and everyone stays in the gun tower, do you think we can rush over? As soon as the security forces behind us rush over, we will be attacked on both sides, and there is no obstruction in the plain. How long do you think you can hold on?

"What do you mean, we stay here to attract Li Youde's people and let Lao Qin and others live?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Gao Yidao sneered and said: "There are thousands of security forces behind, and Li Youde has about the same number in front. Aren't those who stay here just going to die?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Gao Yidao picked his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a solution. He refused to give up and asked, "How about going further north?"

Hu Yi was too lazy to answer.

After a while, Tang Dagou came over with a box of grenades: "One box, fifty, how to pack them?"

"For the one named Gao."

"Don't they?"

"You teach them to lay mines on the ground with grenades."

"Don't they know how to do it themselves? Let them sort it out on their own."

Tang Dagou was unhappy and was kicked by Hu Yi.

"Mule, later, you take the girl and go first. Uh, bring your Czech style over and give it to Company Commander Gao!"

The cold wind was blowing, soot was flying everywhere, and all the people from the Ninth Company stood at the entrance of the village.

There was a strong barking of dogs. On the way into the village, in the fields on both sides, a hundred people split into three groups. One group went south, one went north, and the other group entered the village directly along the road.

The Ninth Company had just done this scene some time ago, and the roads were familiar. The quiet village began to be agitated, the torches were bright, and the footsteps were chaotic. Behind the village maintenance president was a black-clothed "detective team member" with a gun, and the sad face was in the south of the village.

He banged the gong as hard as he could and shouted over and over: "The imperial army is here for something important. Come out if you hurry! Come out of every house and gather at the grain field! Be quick, Taijun will get angry if you are late."

It's time to burn down the house..."

With sleepy eyes, they woke up immediately. The common people quickly dressed and went out to gather at the grain field in the south of the village.

When they heard that the imperial army was coming, the whole family huddled together on the grain field. The torchlighters around them had gray military uniforms, yellow security uniforms, and black detective teams. This battle was extraordinary.

On the side of the threshing floor, Lao Qin was arguing with Hu Yi: "You are making a mistake by doing this. We are not devils. If we drive these people out of our homes in the middle of the night, where will they go?"

"Didn't you do it last time? Otherwise, what do you think I should do?"

Lao Qin was at a loss for words: "It just can't be done anyway. We are a team of ordinary people and we can't do this.

"If they stay here, a fight will start and they will be shot along with us?"

"Can't we move to another place to stop the attack?"

"Okay, there is an open space ahead. There are more than a thousand security troops chasing from the east, and Li Bude has more than a thousand people from the west. Let's fight ten of them each?"
