under fire

The sun keeps rising.

The devils of the guard team began to pack up the camp tents and prepare to open them.

The lieutenant is not stupid.

Because this time the opponent is the Eighth Route Special Service Group, no matter how cautious it is, it cannot be overstated.

So when camping at night, there was no perimeter guard at all, and the devils were directly gathered into a ball.

Doesn't Balu like to play sneak attacks? I just don't give you this chance.
I'll be waiting for you right here, if you dare to come, I'll wrap you up and fight directly!

The battle of chasing and fleeing is really meaningless.

north.

There are cliffs everywhere.

Lieutenant Okawa has a dark face, deep in the mountains, any place is suitable for the Tuba Road to fight guerrillas!

For the chasing elites, it is simply a nightmare.

In many cases, a squadron of the Eighth Route can block the attack of his squadron by taking advantage of the terrain.

If it was on the plains, he would not be afraid of the Eighth Route that was five times that of the elites, but now he feels like riding a tiger is hard to get off.

Obviously, the members of the Eighth Route Special Service Group are in front, but he can only follow behind.
This kind of battle is really useless!

So, he decided to call the Airmen again.

The three 400 members of the imperial army can't do anything to the Eighth Route of half a squadron of more than a hundred people. It's so embarrassing to say it and even affect the morale of other teams!
Liu Manhe was also having a hard time. The soldiers were already exhausted with rapid marches throughout the night.

However, after watching the devils wait all night in the valley, they didn't find a chance to attack the camp!
The night attack plan fell through.

Ma Liang lay on the mountain ridge: "The little devils don't set up perimeter guards. I think they can be ambushed during the day!"

The special company commander next to him was not in a good mood: "It's broad daylight, the little devil has sharp soldiers, how do we fight?"

"There is a distance of more than ten miles between the little devil and the advancing team. As long as we set up an ambush in the valley, we can completely catch the little devil by surprise!"

"No, once the battle starts, we are likely to be flanked by devils!"

Ma Liang was a little excited: "Since even you think it's impossible, the little devil can't even think of it."

"You make me sound like a mallet?"

"Hey, it's about the same"

"Ma, believe it or not, I'll take care of you?"

"If you can beat Li Lao Si, you can do whatever you want." Ma Liang said with a smile, pointing to the map: "Look, the little devil has been chasing after us, we have full control of the battlefield initiative, as long as we can defeat them in a short time The little devils in the back, it’s not too late to clean up the devils and advance to the team!"

The special company commander shook his head: "I think you seem to be better than my secret service team. Do you really think that the little devil is a puppet army or a soft persimmon?"

"The devil's advance team was eager to catch up with us and start a decisive battle. He always had to follow us, giving us a chance to choose to fight or not to fight. In the same way, they chased and we ran away. On the surface, the little devil seemed to occupy We have the upper hand, but in fact, the battlefield is chosen by us, and we are no slower than the devils in the mountains, and the little devils seem to have a lot of people, as long as they don't concentrate their forces, they will leave us with every opportunity to defeat them."

Liu Manhe carefully analyzed the current situation: "I think what Company Commander Ma said makes sense, so it's settled like this. If you can't fight the little devil's night attack, then just hit him in an ambush in broad daylight!"

Then, the team on the ridge began to spread out and sneak into the valley, preparing to set up an ambush on the way the devils approached the advancing team.

Since the little devil didn't set up a peripheral sentry, it was equivalent to losing his eyes.

One by one, they were lying wretchedly in the bushes next to the valley and close to the mountain wall.

The soldiers used rocks, potholes, and bushes to make them slippery like a large piece of loach, just waiting for the little devils to move their camp to the east.

Such an ambush is very risky.

The little devil vanguard has come to the south.

The devils scouting on the two wings are touching the mountain ridge.

If there is a person who can't hide well and is discovered by the devil, the plan will be in vain.

Moreover, if the devils cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, a stalemate will result if they are not careful.

The devil's advance team is not far from here, and will soon follow the footprints left by Liu Manhe and his party.

Only one Banka was left on a mountain ridge to deal with the vanguard of the Devils' advance team.

The purpose of doing this is very simple, so that the devils of the advance team can't find out where Liu Manhe and his party are so quickly.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a beggar stared wide-eyed at the friendly troops down the mountain.

After a while, he curled his hands into trumpets and shouted softly: "Which one are you from? Don't shoot, I'm one of my own, and I'm here to deliver the letter."

Then, a figure appeared from the opposite ditch: "Don't shout, come and talk."

When the middle-aged man saw someone answering, he immediately asked, "What do you do?"

"You speak first"

"The Eighth Route Army's Linbei Special Service Battalion and Independent Battalion Commander, who are you?"

"Okay then, we are the staff officer of the [-]th Division. Peripheral troops, what letter do you want to send?"

Battalion Commander Li approached: "I am your teacher's personal letter. The situation is very urgent."

Seeing that the guy dressed as a beggar claimed that he was the battalion commander, the vigilant soldier murmured to the dark whistle next to him: "Hey, he said he was from the Eighth Route Special Service Regiment, do you really think we can't prove his identity? "

The secret whistle next to him became interested: "Can't we use the radio to contact the people in their secret service team, just ask if it's okay?

"Then you come with me"

In the deserted mountain village, friendly soldiers sat all over the place.

The soldiers wore submachine guns on their chests, and Battalion Commander Li was speechless when he saw them.

Hearing someone coming, Zhang Weimin came out, looked at Battalion Commander Li, and stretched out his hand: "Hi Battalion Commander Li, can you tell me your name and troop number?"

"I am Li Runze, commander of the Linbei Special Service Battalion and Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army"

Staff Liu asked him to wait for a while.

Soon, the time agreed with the special mission radio station came, and the identity of Battalion Commander Li was confirmed through Liu Manhe.

Only then did Zhang Weimin take him to meet the chief of staff who had changed into plain clothes.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Weimin said to Battalion Commander Li: "This one is someone close to our teacher commander. If you have any letters, just ask him to pass them on."

Looking at the leader in plain clothes across the way, Battalion Commander Li went through all kinds of hardships to get here. The south is full of devils surrounding the friendly army.

Hurry up and enshrine the letter, and remind you again: "This is a personal letter from our teacher to you, Teacher Li. It is extremely urgent, please pass it on immediately!"

The plainclothes leader on the opposite side took it over and looked at it, his expression unchanged, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will pass it on. In addition, thank you, sir, and thank you, brother! The enemy will not keep you anymore, please leave early , to the southwest, it will be safe to climb over the mountain, I wish you a safe journey, brother!"

When Li Battalion Commander Li left, the deputy chief of staff followed suit and recruited all the staff, with a serious face: "The friendly army recommends that Commander Li retreat to the south."

All the staff members looked wearily at the map laid on the ground, but no one spoke.

"Don't be so fucking dumb, it's a time of life and death, speak from your heart." The deputy chief of staff was angry.

A young staff officer immediately spoke up: "If Li Tietou retreats southward, this area will become the territory of the Eighth Route Army. I don't think it will be so easy to come back."

Staff Officer Wei smiled: "Hehe, I don't think it matters to keep the Eighth Road? At least the Eighth Road will fight the devils with real swords and guns. Even the headquarters has been taken away and they still fight with the little devils. It is better than the one named Sun who didn't fight." In a few days, you will directly surrender to the enemy."

"It's not his fault. If it wasn't for the instruction from Chongqing, he wouldn't have done it."

"We also received ambiguous orders, but if we surrender to the enemy, we will embarrass the fathers and folks in the three eastern provinces, and even if we go back to our hometown, we will not be able to enter the ancestral grave."

"Yes, even our children and grandchildren have to bear the reputation of traitors, and there is no place for everyone to stand upright in the land of black mountains and white waters."

"Balu is actually a good intention. It is said that only when there are people, there are positions. If all the people are wiped out, these places will still fall into the hands of Balu in the end."

"Li Tietou fought really hard. Most of the team was wiped out, and he didn't turn to the enemy. He really didn't disappoint everyone, and didn't embarrass us soldiers from the three eastern provinces."

"It's not terrible to be defeated by the devils. What I'm afraid of is that I didn't get the order from the theater and retreated south without permission."

Staff Officer Wei immediately came up with a plan: "It's not easy, let's ask Li Tietou to invent codes for the war zone, and say that they are almost exhausted, and they are going to fight the enemy to the death, and live and die with Lingchuan, and then we will In the name of the Group Army Staff Department, he publicly suggested that he withdraw to preserve his vitality, but the one in Chongqing is absolutely unwilling to see Li Tietou's entire army wiped out. Let the Eight Routes take advantage of it for nothing."

"Yes, this is Yangmou. Even if Lao Jiang knows our little thoughts, he can only scold Niang Xipi."

"That's right, as long as Li Tietou is here, Lao Jiang can reorganize people and return to Lingchuan. If everyone is killed, it will be unfair to come back."

"When will the Chongqing guy pay attention to integrity?"
