A soldier came from the front: "Report, a correspondent from the division headquarters came from the front, saying that there is an urgent order to be sent to the independent regiment, and we happened to run into it, what should we do?"

"Order? Go to the Independent Regiment? Hurry up...invite them over. Isn't the leader of the regiment right here? Hahaha!" The proud and arrogant laughter resounded throughout the valley.

The correspondent sent the latest order from the division headquarters. The little girl was not shy about swaying her ponytail. She took the letter, took out the paper, and read it carefully: except for the common and odd numbers in the independent regiment, she was recognized by the others.

They seemed to be relatives they had never met before, so they quickly called Li Xiang over: "Look, what is said in the letter?"

Li Xiang took the letter and glanced at it: "I didn't say anything. I just followed the situation conveyed to us by Director Zheng. It seems that there is an additional message: All troops are required to find a way to defeat the Japanese advance team entering the mountain at all costs. What should I say?

The Eighth Brigade has suffered heavy losses, and we must strengthen the construction of the base area to prevent Japanese infiltration."

"Didn't you say we were asked to go into the mountains to slay ghosts?" Xiao Hongying blinked her big eyes and stared at the correspondent.

Li Xiang shook his head.

The correspondent looked at the little girl with some doubts. Fortunately, most of these soldiers knew each other, especially Li Xiang, who came from the division headquarters. He quickly asked: "You are from the ninth company of the Independent Regiment, right?"

"How do you know?" The little girl obviously pretended to be the leader.

"Hey, it's you. I saw you when I was at the division headquarters, but... your braids are different, so I didn't recognize you. Your marksmanship is so good, who doesn't know about it? By the way, I met your company commander Hu on the way here." Correspondent

I have some understanding of the situation of the Independent Regiment, and I originally thought of replenishing the regiment to move troops. I met the team of the Independent Regiment on the way, so I can save myself some errands, and hey, maybe I can even participate in the battle, which makes me a little excited.

"What are you talking about? Fox, where did you meet him? He didn't go to the division headquarters? We were about to go find him." The little girl's eyes lit up.

Pan Zhuzhu was listening and had a clue. We were obviously going to fight against the advance team, but when did we go to find Company Commander Hu?

"He said he found the advance team on the road and pursued them westward with Political Commissar Ding!" the correspondent said excitedly.

"What? He and Commissar Ding? Two people?" The little girl was stunned, then turned around and ordered: "Ask Sister Erniu to send someone to deliver the message to the regiment." Then she turned back and said, "You, take us to find the fox! Immediately!

"

Ding Deyi felt heavy in his heart when he saw the people of Xiaowangzhuang fleeing into the mountains.

There are only thirty or forty people in the small villages in the mountains. They are half soil and half farmland, struggling to survive on the poor land.

In addition, some middle-aged people joined the Eighth Route Army, leaving behind mostly the old, young, sick and disabled, with women accounting for the majority, and very few young men. The composition is quite simple. The villagers have lived in the mountains for decades: simple, bringing the old and supporting the young.

, with red eyes and wiping tears, he disappeared into the bushes on the steep mountain road.

"Political Commissar? Huh? Political Commissar Ding?"

"Huh? I just thought of God. Hey, what's going on?"

"Company Commander Hu told us to plant a few Japanese grenades in the valley at the entrance of the village, and let us leave first!"

The components of the Type 97 grenade fuze are the firing pin, the safety pin and the flash cap. The delay signal tube is made by loading the delay gunpowder in the copper tube. The firing pin and the delay signal tube are separated by the safety pin. When using, pull out the safety pin and bullet tip.

Only by hitting a hard object hard can the firing pin fire the cap and ignite the delay signal tube.

It is very troublesome to use it to make mixed mines, which is equivalent to having to knock or hit the flash cap when using it. Fortunately, there are many branches with good elasticity in the mountains, and hunters have many methods.

The Major looked at the ghosts brought down and felt very bad. After the military doctor examined them, news came. It was said that most of the soldiers were poisoned, and the poison was very severe. More than 20 of the more than 40 ghosts brought back were dead. The military doctor initially judged that

Snake venom!

Half of the current warriors will become real ghosts after they are carried back, which makes the Major very sad.

Thinking of the colorful snakes, meandering and swimming, the Major shuddered. The majestic mountains and steep cliffs were overwhelming and overwhelming.

Ordering to advance with caution, he pulled up the map and looked at it carefully.

The map is very detailed: there is only one line, which is in vain. There is a triangle marked on the line, a small village: Xiaowangzhuang, only five miles away from the current location.

There are streams everywhere in the mountains, and the water cannot be poisoned. The snake venom must pass through the damaged skin and come into contact with the blood to be effective. The major thought about the group of Eight Route Army soldiers in front, and sent a small team of Japs. He originally wanted to chase the Eight Route Army soldiers, but ended up with short legs.

I can't run at all. If I run fast, my skin will occasionally be torn by branches on the roadside, and I have to be carried back. The eighth road is too dangerous!

There was only one road in the mountain, and there was no way around it. The Eighth Route Army who was blocking the attack in front turned around a mountain pass and fled eastward without a trace.

I don’t want to think about being an invader and showing off on other people’s land, and then having the nerve to accuse others of being sinister.

Xiaowangzhuang began to burn with raging flames. The Japanese chased them for a long time, but the speed was extremely slow. The only fun was to set fire. Most of the houses in the mountains were made of rocks and mud and could not be burned. A small number of wooden houses were damaged and burned.

The remaining smoke was still rising from the rapids, with black smoke and green smoke swirling together, covering a large area of ​​the sky above the valley.

A Japanese officer stood next to the major and wanted to ask if he should continue to move forward, but seeing the gray and white gloomy look on the major's face, he did not dare to ask. There were several more Japanese lying on the ground. These rooms were actually full of traps! Major

Unexpectedly, those eight-year-olds had more methods besides snake venom. The primitive hunting techniques actually exerted the greatest effect. However, the prey was Japanese soldiers.

The major was very depressed and could not reach his destination on time. It was still early for the large troops from behind to arrive, but as a forward, the problem he faced was that there was a group of Tubal soldiers in front who were skilled in mountain warfare.

The problem of the Eighth Route Army in front is not big, and there are not many people. The Japanese Major cannot give the order to advance with all strength. Since entering the mountain, nearly 200 people have been lost. Not many died, but many were injured, maybe just

A small injury, but very fatal. The battle losses of a squadron are not unacceptable. The faster the speed, the greater the battle losses.

The Eighth Route Army's strength is not a big problem, it is a problem that it is getting dark. Night will become a paradise for the shameless Eighth Route Army to attack, unless they stop marching and camp on the spot.

The major drew out his command knife, looked up to the sky and screamed a string of bird songs: "Damn the Eighth Route Army, I will cut you into pieces! You are too shameless, you are too insidious! Why don't you dare to come out and fight in an upright manner! You are cowards.

!You are a coward! You gave birth to a son without an asshole! Ugh——"

After setting the fire, the Japanese who lined up were shocked. Their commander, Major, actually slashed the air with a knife, venting his grief and anger. His hysterical state was more like crying bitterly.

The sun has set in the west, and the haze covering the sky seems to have faded. Through the smoke and dust caused by the Japanese, the sky above is blood red. The mountain road heading northeast in the mountains is becoming darker and darker, and there are eight roads waiting ahead.
