I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 123: The "Devil Soldiers" Chased by the Eighth Route Army

The next morning, a battalion of the Gansu Army's guerrilla detachment came to find Li Yunlong with their equipment.

As soon as they arrived, Li Yunlong was so happy that he kept praising Song Wenwan for being so thoughtful.

The number of soldiers in a battalion of the Gansu Army Detachment is more than that of Lao Li’s current New Regiment.

There were more than 700 soldiers in the entire battalion, including three infantry companies, one cavalry company, and one heavy company.

Not only was he wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, but he was also wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army.

He also specially brought 1,500 sets of new military uniforms to Li Yunlong for future expansion of the army.

As for weapons, not only are there light machine guns in the platoons and heavy machine guns in the companies, but each company also has two Type 60 mortars.

As for the grenade launchers used by the Japanese, they were also very good at using them.

Basically every infantry squad was equipped with one or two guns.

What surprised Li Yunlong the most was that they also had an artillery platoon consisting of four mortars and one Type 92 infantry gun.

The most mysterious gifts were two boxes, one containing strips of "Three Cannons" and the other containing ten-year-old Fenjiu.

Li Yunlong took a look and quickly asked Hu Zi to help him put it away.

Li Yunlong was so happy that he didn't even bother to go to the brigade headquarters to say "say goodbye" to the brigade commander.

They didn't even have lunch and went straight to their new defense zone.

Li Yunlong walked along a path covered in billowing dust, which dazzled the group of regiment leaders who came to collect supplies.

Looking at the high-spirited soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, each of them carries a sharp ordnance shovel on his back.

Then he looked behind him, at the thick-backed machete tied with red silk, why didn't it smell good to him?

Blind Cheng, who was passing by, said to Li Yunlong with some envy: "How come you have hundreds of soldiers all carrying Mauser pistols?

If you don’t know, you might think it’s the cadre group from Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.”

For the first time, which was rare, Li Yunlong did not stop to brag about his strength.

Instead, he quickened his pace, as if someone was chasing him.

There were really people chasing him. When the brigade commander heard that Li Yunlong dared to run all over the mountain with a Type 92 infantry gun.

He was so angry that he asked the communicator to go out quickly and bring Li Yunlong back.

Unexpectedly, he chased for more than thirty miles but did not even see the shadow of Li Yunlong, so he had to return to the brigade headquarters to report.

The next morning, before the team set out, the Gansu Army Battalion Commander Wu Changfeng and Zhang Dabiao came to find him with a map.

After Wu Changfeng saluted, he pointed at the map and said to him, "Commander, I just heard from Battalion Commander Zhang that we should take a small road and go to Liujiayu Station by a detour.

But I looked at the map. Wouldn't it be more convenient if we went through Liutou Town?"

Zhang Dabiao said excitedly at the side: "Including Liutou Town, there are two more strongholds of the Japanese invaders behind.

It just happened to block our way back to the base, so we had to take a small road and detour to Liujiayu."

Wu Changfeng said: "Why don't we..."

Li Yunlong continued his words: "Why don't we go straight to Liutou Town."

Wu Changfeng said: "Let's take down these three strongholds today."

Li Yunlong: "Not only will it be easier to communicate with the brigade in the future."

Wu Changfeng said: "Even this area of ​​100 miles can be incorporated into our territory."

Li Yunlong: "The increase in regional depth also increases our room for maneuver in counter-raid operations."

Wu Changfeng said: "In the future, whether it is recruiting soldiers or collecting taxes, it will be much better than in the mountainous areas."

“Hahahaha…” Zhang Dabiao was a little confused listening to the two people’s laughter.

It seemed that only their leader would laugh like this before.

Why does the new battalion commander Wu also smile so cunningly?

Li Yunlong said, "You are very much my type. How about I talk to the brigade commander and ask him to let you be my deputy regiment commander?"

Wu Changfeng said: "Since the captain thinks so highly of me, why not let me show you my skills."

Li Yunlong said: "I can show off my skills, but I am not like you guys in the guerrilla detachment.

You can use as many bullets and shells as you want, but you have to be more careful with them."

Zhang Dabiao felt so sad when he saw Wu Changfeng preparing.

Captain, I am your right-hand man. You can't forget the old ones just because you have new ones!

Li Yunlong: Da Biao, look at Lao Wu, he joined the group with money.

If I don’t allow any benefits, I’m afraid I won’t be able to retain talent (money).

Wu Changfeng: Captain Li is indeed a man who knows how to make promises. He even talked to the brigade commander and asked him to promote me to deputy captain.

If you dare to meet the brigade commander within half a year, I will take your surname.

While everyone was thinking about their own things, Captain Wu's men were already ready.

I saw that more than a dozen soldiers from the cavalry company had changed into the Japanese military uniforms.

One of the fake soldiers had his sleeves torn into rags and his real arms were tied to his back.

Then a "broken arm" was hung on his shoulder, and some fresh chicken blood was splashed on the broken arm.

More than a hundred Gansu Army soldiers took off their uniforms.

They changed into civilian clothes and wrapped white towels on their heads.

Then a dozen pretend "Japanese soldiers", some riding two horses and some riding alone, ran towards Liutou Town.

Right at the entrance of the Liutou Town stronghold, two Japanese soldiers and a group of puppet soldiers were guarding the town’s gate.

The Eighth Route Army in the mountains have been quite noisy these days, with several waves coming in and out.

The Japanese squadron leader in the Liutou Town stronghold was also cautious, and no longer as arrogant as he used to be.

He had just patrolled to the gate of the town when he heard Ma Sihuan's gunshots in the distance.

Then he saw several imperial soldiers, each riding two horses, running towards him.

Behind them, there were several imperial soldiers who kept stopping and shooting behind them.

Every time gunshots were heard, one or two of the people chasing them fell down.

The squadron leader was about to close the city gate immediately, but he didn't expect that several soldiers on horseback had already arrived at the town gate.

As soon as the squadron leader saw the uniforms of the soldiers outside, he understood their identities.

These Japanese soldiers did not have any weapons in their hands.

They only had a few canvas bags on them, and it was obvious that they were telephone soldiers who checked the lines regularly.

Some had blood all over their heads and faces, some had half their arms cut off and blood was still dripping down.

The few people at the back holding Ma Sihuan should be the guards of these telephone soldiers.

Then I heard a series of crackling sounds behind me, including those from muskets, fire guns, and Hanyang-made guns.

As soon as you hear the gunshots, you can tell that the people following behind are definitely the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as the gunshots were heard, one of the Japanese soldiers who were blocking the rear fell down.

The remaining people didn't bother to stop the attack and turned around and ran towards the stronghold in Liutou Town.

At this time, the Japanese squadron leader did not dare to close the town gate.

He quickly called upon these defeated soldiers to run quickly into the stronghold.

Li Yunlong was on the slope at the back, watching the show through a telescope.

Then I saw those "Tubalu" soldiers suddenly lying on the ground, and the two heavy machine guns behind them were exposed.

They fired a long burst of shots, and the people and horses on the wall of Liutou Town were immediately knocked to the ground.

Then, as the squadron leader looked in astonishment, the telephone operator with the broken arm started to attack.

He used the dagger that suddenly appeared in his hand to stab the Japanese soldier's heart.

Then these "unarmed" telephone soldiers pulled out pistols from behind and quickly opened fire at the defenders at the town gate.
