The main force of the 97th Army did not continue to struggle with the blocking right group, but chose to go directly south from Donggang Town.

In order to confuse our army, Zhu Huaibing further dispersed his troops. In addition to leaving some troops to stay in Donggang to block the attack, he also divided some troops to move north, making a gesture of breaking out in separate routes.

As for him, after making the arrangements, he took off his military uniform, put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and put on an apron, transforming into a rather young cook.

Then, Zhu Dahuofu followed the large army, carrying thousands of kilograms of rice "raised" from the town's grain merchants, and headed south. This time, he only had more than 5,000 troops left.

Well, out of an army of more than 20,000 soldiers, only a few of them were left, including those who died and those who fled.

An hour after Zhu Huaibing left, Li Yunlong and the others finally caught up to Donggang Town.

"Where is the main force of the youth column? Why are you alone in the regiment?" Li Yunlong met Commander Gao here who was organizing troops to attack Donggang.

"An hour ago, the enemy detached part of its forces to cross northward. Our column commander led the 1st and 2nd regiments to pursue him! He said that the main force of the 97th Army may still be there, but we must not let any enemy escape. Now we have the 771st Regiment,

The new regiment, the special agent regiment, the temporary regiment and the two regiments advancing into the detachment are enough to deal with Zhu Huaibing's main force!" Captain Gao said.

"New regiment? Where is my new regiment?" Li Yunlong immediately became energetic when he heard about his old regiment.

"Commander...Commander..." At this time, Zhang Dabiao rushed over from behind a hillside in the north, shouting as he ran, with Ding Wei beside him.

"I, Lao Li, am still thinking about the new regiment... Ouch... this is the temporary regiment, right? Not bad, not bad, the troops are strong and the horses are strong!" Ding Wei said.

"Okay, Ding Wei, you bastard, don't take advantage of me! Aren't you just a leader of the main force? I don't care about it. After I finish this battle, I will go back to the quilt factory to embroider! I said, just such a little bastard

Is this town worth surrounding and fighting with several of you?" Li Yunlong asked.

"The small broken town is true, but they actually kidnapped the common people to stand in front of them. As long as we attack, we will accidentally hurt the common people. This is not easy to handle!" Commander Gao had a sad look on his face.

"These bastards don't even have a bottom line! They serve as soldiers and eat the food of the common people, and they also hold the common people at the muzzle of our guns. Is this what humans do?" Li Yunlong became angry when he heard this.

"Lao Li, what do you think we should do? How about you hang out with them here while I take a new group south to pursue their main force?" Ding Wei asked.

"No, we are chasing and fighting all the way. The blocking teams left by the 97th Army have defeated more than a dozen waves. We have fought enough. So, you continue to surround here, and I will take the temporary group to chase their main force.

." Li Yunlong said.

"The head...the headquarters called back. The head said: Our Eighth Route Army is the people's army and we cannot attack innocent people. Let us temporarily besiege Donggang and send a large force to continue to pursue the enemy's main force. We must catch up north of Lin County.

!" The communications soldier delivered the order promptly.

"What is this? No, we can't just let it go..." Li Yunlong was annoyed when he heard this: "If the Japanese devils learn to do this, we will become even more difficult to fight! Who, didn't you seize the camera?

What? Find a suitable place and take a photo. This is called evidence."

"Lai Dongxing, you should immediately organize all the precision shooters and snipers of the entire regiment to gather together for me and cover and take photos. Also, if the opportunity is right, shoot and kill those bastards directly!" Li Yunlong said.

Soon, the snipers and precision shooters belonging to the Jianyi Regiment, armed with guns equipped with sniper scopes, covered the soldiers who knew how to take pictures, and approached the stubborn army position in Donggang. At this time, the town entrance

, dozens of people stood in a row, blocking the entrance of the town, blocking the attack route.

At this time, Li Yunlong also discovered the situation at the entrance of the town, and couldn't help but look at Captain Gao and the others in confusion: "With this formation, you don't dare to attack? The outer wall of this town is not high, so just send people to climb in.

No? Just put the distance between the common people and the defenders behind and use mortars to blast them!"

"Li Yunlong, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. What if you mislead the people? But your method is not bad. You can just take photos as evidence and file a lawsuit!" Ding Wei was also very annoyed. This is not about martial ethics.

This kind of behavior of using civilians to block bullets is indeed extremely despicable. It is normal for the Japanese to do this, but the 97th Army also did it.

Fortunately, the psychological quality of the precision shooters and snipers of the ninth detachment was pretty good. After finding a suitable position, bullets passed directly behind the civilians, killing many defenders.

That's right, the gunmen circled around to the side of the civilians and killed the enemies with side fire.

There were not many defenders in the town. After killing some, they actually raised the flag and surrendered. Such a series of mysterious operations really opened the eyes of the Eighth Route Army. There is actually such a team?

"Damn it, another hour was delayed..." After occupying the town, time was delayed again, and the distance advantage gained before was lost again.

"Don't worry, Lao Li. It's getting dark now. The approaching detachment is also a team that is good at marching. If they catch up, I'm afraid they can overtake the main force of the 97th Army before dawn." Ding Wei comforted.

"Okay, it's useless to say this. Let's hurry up and chase him! Zhang Dabiao, tell the comrades that we, Lao Li, are living a good life. Let's go!"

"For the time being, we have all the 1st regiment, leaving the militia brigade to guard our livestock and the seizures along the way. Lai Dongxing, Hu Sihai, you guys stay with the militia brigade to guard our rear. 2nd brigade, 3rd brigade, replenish ammunition

, let's set off!" Li Yunlong said goodbye to his old troops in a hurry and continued the pursuit.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and it would probably get dark in a few hours.

Therefore, with the help of this short-term light, two independent brigades, with artillery batteries, pursued directly towards the south.

The chase didn't stop until it was completely dark. There was no way, the mountains here are not high, but the road is not easy to walk. It would be bad if something went wrong. The key is that there is no local guide and I am not familiar with the road.

.

Soon, it was early the next morning, and the soldiers of the temporary regiment ate their combat rations in a hurry before continuing the pursuit.

Bang bang... the sound of running in unison was particularly clear in the weak morning light.

Then, while running, a sparse team appeared next to them.

"Huh? Is this the 1st Regiment or the 2nd Regiment? It even has a big flashlight? Is the equipment better than ours?" The pursuing soldiers didn't pay attention at first, thinking they were a close detachment that came over in advance. But they ran away

While running, some soldiers noticed something was wrong.
