"Children, come here and stand in line." Village Chief Wu gave the order, and the children consciously stood in three rows, with the older ones at the back and the younger ones in front.

"From today on, you are also members of the Eighth Route Army, members of the team. You must remember to listen to Commander Li, train well, fight well, don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of the enemy, and don't miss your parents! Remember

Stay here, drive away the Japanese devils, and then return to the village! Let’s go!”

After Village Chief Wu finished speaking to the children, he bowed his hands to Li Yunlong, walked out of the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, and saw the villagers waiting outside.

"Okay, the babies have been taken over by Captain Li, and we have nothing to worry about! Ladies and gentlemen, our Songshu Village is backed by the Taihang Mountains. Our ancestors have left this mountain to us.

This water, this field, our ancestors are watching from the sky."

"With the Eighth Route Army gone, it's time for us to fight the Japanese devils till the end! Listen to me..." Village Chief Wu arranged things in the village.

"Captain, these... why are there female dolls?" Deputy Commander Ding approached Li Yunlong at this time and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

"What's wrong with the baby girl? Can't you tell it's the big girl of the widow of the Li family? It's okay. You can send it back to the brigade headquarters, send it to the rear, or send it to the division headquarters hospital to learn medical skills. There are still some in the team.

Can't afford to raise them?" Li Yunlong looked at the more than 20 children and nodded with a smile.

"Huzi, go and find some military uniforms with small sizes. If there are no small ones, just find some military hats. Let's accept new comrades!"

"Yes, leader!" Huzi agreed and went to find something...

The new regiment quickly left Pine Tree Village, and the people reluctantly sent them outside the village. They did not turn back until the team could no longer be seen.

However, what makes the people happy is that just as the New Regiment left in the morning, some comrades from the 385th Brigade were transferred here in the afternoon, and comrades from the Qin Lai Detachment also came over. After all, this Songshu Village is very different from

Yuncu Town is surrounded by mountainous areas, which makes it easy for the team to hide and attack at the right time. It's a great place.

Good guy, this time Village Chief Wu is happy again. This time we don’t have to fight the Japanese to the death. The soldiers are back...

Li Yunlong: I also think Songshu Village is good, but the brigade commander felt that we, Old Li, could not live in peace, so he transferred us to Licheng...

That's right, Lao Kong's Independent Regiment, Lao Li's New Regiment, and Cheng Xiazi's 772 Regiment, the main forces of the 386 Brigade, were ordered by the headquarters to disperse and move out, leaving the empty city of Yushe to the Japanese. So, the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment

The battalion was transferred to the vicinity of Jiuzhaigou. While resting and recuperating, it could also strengthen the protection of the arsenal.

Just when the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to withdraw from the hinterland and allowed the Japanese to penetrate deeply, good news came from the Jiuzhai Arsenal: the modified 6.5mm caliber Qilali successfully produced qualified finished products, and in the future it can produce 5 rifles per day.

Production speed is produced.

The new Kirali light machine gun has not changed much in the overall structure. Except for the bolt barrel, the rest can be interchanged with the original 7.92mm model, which greatly increases the maintenance cost and production of this gun.

Cost. Oh, and the magazine also needs to be made new, which is not a big problem.

In terms of maintenance, Hu Changyi deliberately made a universal design. What does that mean? The soldiers no longer have 6.5mm ammunition in their hands, but they have a complete set of .92 version of the bolt machine barrel magazine, so they can use the original version.

When replaced, it becomes the 7.92 version of the light machine gun.

Well, anyway, this gun only has a few parts, and it got damaged during the battle. If you put a few guns together and exchange the broken ones, you can assemble a new gun.

Well, in order to achieve this, standardization is a very important requirement, and it is also something that Hu Changyi strongly intervenes in and controls in ophthalmology.

The sudden retreat of the Eighth Route Army caused the regrouping Japanese soldiers to stretch out their fists and hit the cotton. The several regiments they mobilized were all in vain.

Of course, it cannot be said that the effort was in vain. At least the entire Baijin Highway was occupied by the Japs. From Changzhi to Zihongkou, the Japs occupied this route, physically dividing the Taihang Mountains from the Taiyue Mountains.

Of course, the Japs did not occupy this communication line without paying a price. Not counting the battle of the new independent regiment, just in the past few days when the heavy rain stopped, a group of Japs retreated from Gaoping north to Changzhi.

They were ambushed by the 344th Brigade, lost more than 200 troops, and fled back in a hurry.

Do you know about the 344th Brigade? It is under the control of the 115th Division, but it was taken under direct command by the headquarters and sent a half-disabled 343rd Brigade to Luzhong. Still not impressed? The Machidian battle! It was the Japanese who went to the river to bathe.

In that battle, the unlucky 108th Division was destroyed a lot, but it wasn't the 344th Brigade that did it.

Speaking of southwestern Shandong, the fighting here has not stopped, because the 114th and 5th Divisions of the Little Devils mobilized 20,000 troops and launched a mopping-up operation in the Yimeng Mountains in May. The troops ravaged southern Shandong.

Just at the end of last month, the Japanese completed the Lunan operation (except for occupying the county seat, the Eighth Route Army was not wiped out much, but was killed by piecemeal attacks), and launched an operation against Luxi, intending to expand the results.

The 343rd Brigade, which was still operating here, fought with the Japanese for several days, constantly fighting small and small battles, and finally persisted until the Japanese retreated.

Why retreat? Isn't it because the base camp on the small island felt that the 114th Division had outstanding military achievements and was transferred back to the country for repairs?

Then... you can come and leave whenever you want? What do you think this place is? Mr. Chen and the others are not happy about it.

So on July 16, when the Japanese army retreated from Liaocheng and marched eastward singing loudly, disaster struck.

When the Japanese marched across a certain bridge, hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers were waiting for them.

"Comrades, the mission given to us by the leader is to ambush the Japanese army and use the fastest speed to unleash the greatest firepower. Regardless of the Japanese casualties, we must evacuate within one minute! So, all listen to my orders..." Responsible for this time

The battalion commander in command of the battle looked at the Japanese troops and waited for the opportunity.

"Hit!" Seeing that the Japanese troops were getting more and more concentrated, and there were hundreds of people crowded on and under the bridge, this man ordered.

"Click, click, click..." The light continuous machine gun fired directly, the long bullet chain rolled, and the bullet casing fell into the canvas bag under the gun body.

"Da da, da da da..." Kirali and Czech became neighbors, and they kept shooting in short bursts.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..." Unknown number of grenades flew over a distance of more than 200 meters and exploded where the Japanese were gathered.

"Pah...pah..." Well, compared to the above weapons, the bolt-action rifle is a bit unsatisfactory, but the soldiers' marksmanship is not bad and they hit a live target.

"Comrades, withdraw!" After one minute of firepower output, the Eighth Route Army members quickly evacuated with their weapons, leaving only a few bullet casings.
