Chapter 23 Who are you two?
This battle is naturally evil.
News of the puppet army's rebellion was spreading in the first encirclement and around the county town.
Zhang Xiu and others dressed as puppet troops had long gone to the vicinity of Xinzhuang and met the cavalry company who broke out in advance, but the two sides did not join forces. After all, their clothes were different, so walking together was eye-catching.
The cavalry company has a big goal. If you keep wandering outside like this, you will sooner or later be discovered.
It's a coincidence.
Li Huaizhong is worthy of being a talent that Zhang Xiu likes. He actually has relatives in the 2nd Regiment of the Unique Division and a uncle who is the battalion commander.
Isn't this a coincidence?
He was directly incorporated into the puppet army camp. Although the Japanese saw this scene, they did not feel suspicious.
Chinese people... can get along with each other everywhere, and everyone is related to their kinship, especially the officers of all sizes, each with their own relatives.
"Uncle!" Li Huaizhong met his battalion commander's uncle Li Yijun.
"Why are you here?" Not to mention the Japanese, even Li Yijun didn't expect that his nephew had already defected to the Eighth Route Army.
"Let's not talk about this for now, uncle... where is Uncle Zhao?" Li Huaizhong looked around and didn't see his uncle's deputy battalion commander, so he was a little strange.
"Damn, Zhong Yunhe is a bastard. The village is the main force of the Eighth Route Army. It seems that there is a regiment... He dared not send his direct line in, but let us die." Li Yijun spitted and said helplessly: "You Uncle Zhao argued with him a few words, but he sued the Japanese and shot him."
"Grass!" Li Huaizhong immediately became indignant and cursed angrily: "Damn it, what a beast?"
"Shhh... whisper." Li Yijun grabbed Li Huaizhong and whispered: "We are all doing things for the Japanese now. Your Uncle Zhao is indeed disobeying our orders and disobeying... It's all our fault that we are not lucky. If we advance, we will die, and if we retreat, we will die."
Li Huaizhong was worried about how to convince his uncle to make a revolution with him, but now he didn't expect that Zhong Yunhe, the bastard, would have created him a chance.
"Uncle, there is a good opportunity in front of you." Li Huaizhong said in a deep voice.
"Um?"
"To be honest, uncle, I have already surrendered the Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment with my brothers." Li Huailiang pulled Li Yijun aside and whispered: "The one who is surrounded by you in Xinzhuang is the Independent Regiment Headquarters. We are here this time to meet them to break through."
When Li Yijun heard Li Huaizhong say this, his face was gloomy and said in a deep voice: "This is a beheading business! Are you desperate?"
"Uncle!" Li Huaizhong stepped closer: "After the Japanese, not only did they lose their heads, but they were also stabbed by someone. Uncle Zhao died so unjustly! My father named me Huaizhong, but now he has been doing the treason... Uncle... Follow me... A battalion in your hand, plus a battalion here, is connected with the independent group in the village, and has passed the mountain in front... Isn't it still high and birds fly?"
"I'm thinking...consider..."
"Battlefield Commander Li!" At this time, a puppet army commanded the soldiers to walk far away and said, "The regiment commander ordered your third battalion to guard the entrance of the western village tonight. If you leave the Eighth Route Army, you will be dealt with by military law."
Li Yijun narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said calmly: "Okay, I understand."
"Uncle!" Li Huaizhong didn't have time to thank Zhong Yunhe for the assists, so he gave his uncle a dose of strong medicine: "Uncle, when his nephew rebelled, he cooperated with the brothers of the Independent Regiment to kill half of the cavalry corps and two infantry squadrons, and that boy Zhang Chengcheng also burned the Japanese granary... The news has not been heard yet... Even if the uncle does not rebel today, can the Japanese still tolerate their uncle in the future?"
Li Yijun couldn't hold back after hearing this and almost cursed: "You bastard have caused me a lot! Now he is forcing him to Liangshan, and it's not okay to rebel!"
Li Yijun knew very well that there was no reason to talk to the Japanese. His nephews had rebelled, and there was no reason to keep him, his uncle. Apart from rebelling with him, he seemed to have no way out.
"Where are the people from the Independent Group?" Although Li Yijun made up his mind, he did not show it directly. Even if he wanted to surrender, he would still surrender to the Independent Group, not Li Huaizhong.
After hearing what his uncle said, Li Huaizhong probably knew his uncle's choice.
A moment later, in a secluded place, Zhang Xiu met with Li Yijun, and the two sides negotiated for a long time and reached an agreement.
Li Yijun promised to surrender to the Independent Corps and could also rebel with his colleagues who had a good relationship with him, but accordingly... after he went to the Independent Corps, his status as a battalion commander could not change.
He is different from Li Huaizhong. One is voluntary, while he is half-supported and forced.
In addition, Li Huaizhong only had one company, and he had three hundred brothers in his hands, and his status was also different.
Zhang Xiu also agreed on this by himself. There were many people who were above the top, but the wolf culture of the independent group would quickly assimilate these people. If Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao could not even settle Li Yijun, it would be useless to waste their reputation in northwest Shanxi... This guy can't make any noise.
The sun was gradually falling, and the Japanese and puppet troops started to make rice.
Zhang Xiu saw that the time was almost over, and the news of their rebellion could not be covered up, so he took advantage of the snooping of no one to pay attention to it, and then lurked out quietly and lurked in a place, using the signal of sniping the Japanese to kill Hiroshi Ichiro, who was temporarily commanding the Japanese, to prepare to fire the first shot of this counterattack.
As for the matter of sending someone to inform the political commissar in the village... Zhang Xiu was unwilling to take risks, and the Japanese discovered that it was a trivial matter, because she was afraid of taking the gun from her brother.
So this task was handed over to the cavalry company, they rushed in and met with the regiment commander and others, and then came out from the west!
Zhang Xiu sniped the Japanese deputy captain with one shot, and Wang Xikui and others attacked at the same time. Sun Desheng, not far away, ordered a charge the moment he heard the gunshot.
The puppet army under Li Yijun did not know that their battalion commander had surrendered to the Eighth Route Army. It was not until the battle started that their company squad leader passed down one by one. The main reason was that they were afraid of leaking the news. After all, people's hearts were separated. What if they had a few Zhong Yunhe's confidants under their command?
This matter is not accurate, so their reaction is a bit slower, but it doesn't matter... This operation itself was dominated by the independent regiment soldiers and the puppet troops under Li Huaizhong and Zhang Chengcheng. Li Yijun was just an unexpected surprise, which was icing on the cake and could not be called a timely help.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were still thinking about splitting their troops to break through after dark, but they did not expect that the sun had not yet set, and the cavalry company rushed in first. Then the puppet army and the Japanese had an internal strife, and the positions around Xinzhuang were in chaos.
Li Yunlong had a precise strategic vision and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately concentrated all his troops and broke out from the entrance of Xicun.
Sun Desheng's cavalry company opened the way in front, and the infantry then rushed.
When we arrived at the entrance of Xicun, we saw two puppet army officers following Wang Xikui to meet him. One of them hurriedly said, "Captain Li, follow me to break through!"
The other one was not to be outdone and said, "Brothers have stopped the Japanese."
"Who are you two?" Li Yunlong was a little stunned. He didn't remember that he had two other subordinates like this, so he asked casually.
Chapter completed!
