Anti-Japanese undead legend

Chapter 168
Time passed day by day like this.The monkey who went out finally came back.Now the weather is cold, and the devils are all huddled inside the stronghold, but the outside world is quiet.And the monkeys in all the villages closest to here have searched all over, and there is no surplus food to sell to them.The only place where there is food now is the devil's stronghold, and Laiyuan County.

Waiting here is obviously a dead end. If the food is not resolved, the team will always collapse.Li Jing thought for a while, sent out a signal to call back Zhao Changjun and Guo Tiezhu who were away, then called everyone to hold a meeting, and finally decided to take away one of the devil's strongholds to solve the food problem.

If the nearest stronghold was Baima Town, but Li Jing attacked one after another, and the war in the west was over, the devil finally chose to give up.In the current Baima Town, there is no one to be seen.In addition, it is the Mawangzhuang stronghold about a hundred miles away.

Mawangzhuang is in the middle of Baima Town and Laiyuan County.It is 120 miles away from Laiyuan County, but it is nearly [-] miles away from Qingfeng Gorge.Apparently, with the end of the war on the Western Front and the opening of a new line of communication from the SJZ by the Japs, the role of this line was not so great.

Two hundred miles, it is indeed a bit difficult to march in such weather.Even if Mawangzhuang is captured, the transportation will still be a problem, because the devils will soon catch up.But this battle has to be fought, otherwise, although the beginning of spring has already begun, it will still be difficult for them to survive.So in the end everyone decided to fight. As for the problem of transportation, some people will be left to stop the enemy, while others will bring as much food as they can.

As soon as they heard that they were going to fight Mawangzhuang, the people brought by Shang Deyi became excited.When they joined forces with the Sichuan army to fight Xiaolizhuang, they all watched the battle as spectators.Now they can fight with Li Jing, which is something they have been looking forward to for a long time.

When he came back, Li Jing divided these people into two companies. Wujiang Road was the first company commander, and Shang Deyi was the second company commander. The selected people were led by Zhao Changjun, and they became a separate combat team, code-named "Flying Eagle" .Considering the current situation, Li Jing arranged for Zhao Changjun to take the flying eagle to lead the battle, and Shang Deyi's second company was responsible for blocking the devil's reinforcements, buying time for the first company to transport food.Jin Suo, who hadn't recovered yet, stayed in the mountain with a dozen student soldiers.After the arrangements were made, the team started to set off.

Li Jing set off first with the people responsible for the sneak attack and blocking, and arrived at Mawangzhuang two days later in the evening.When they reached the outskirts of Mawangzhuang, the monkey who had arrived one step ahead of them had already figured out the situation of Mawangzhuang, and was waiting for them in a land temple outside Zhuangzi.

There is a puppet company in Mawangzhuang, and there are more than 20 devils.Equipped with light machine guns and grenades.Songzhuang, which is only more than 20 miles away from here, has become Laiyuan's first line of defense. Whether it is from the west or unavoidable, it will pass here.But Songzhuang's terrain is much more important, where there is a small team of devils alone.

This number of people is nothing to Li Jing, but the words behind the monkey caught Li Jing's attention. "Instructor, I don't know why, just now more than 20 devils suddenly left without any sign. I watched them training in the morning. Do you think the devils have something to do? They still want to go out so late?"

If the devils left suddenly, it would be a good thing for them to attack Mawangzhuang, but based on Li Jing's feeling, he felt that there must be something strange in the process. It was fine just now, but suddenly withdrew. Could it be that the devils have something serious?In such weather and at such a time, what reason is there to mobilize the defenders here?
"Monkey, are you not exposed?" Li Jing asked with a frown.

The monkey carefully recalled his actions again, shook his head and said: "Instructor, I have never met the devils and puppet soldiers face to face. I came here after learning about the situation in a small village around here. I used binoculars to observe. Even if the common people want to tip off the news, they can’t escape my eyes! I can guarantee that no one enters the stronghold!”

Several people looked at Li Jing, thinking that it was a good thing for their actions that the devil had withdrawn. Why did Li Jing frown like this?At this time, Li Jing couldn't find anything suspicious, but he was still a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he ordered the monkey to investigate along the direction of Laiyuan, and he led these team members to the front quietly. Carefully observe the situation of the Mawangzhuang stronghold.

There was no movement at the stronghold a few hundred meters away. In such weather, no one could be seen for a long time. The puppet army in charge of the investigation had already hid behind.On the surface, there was nothing unusual. Li Jing felt a little strange in his heart. Did he think too much?For the first time he questioned his feelings.

According to the plan, Shang Deyi had already set up a blocking line in the back, and then quietly led people to Li Jing's side. Seeing that all the people had arrived, Li Jing asked, "Has the team in charge of transportation following up?"

"I sent someone to contact me just now, and there are still more than 20 miles to go. Captain, this group of puppet troops who came here have to teach them a lesson! Isn't this a waste of opportunity?" Shang Deyi said with some dissatisfaction, indeed, defeating the king of horses Zhuang should withdraw, and the devil's team will rush over, and the casualties of those responsible for blocking will increase. This is a manifestation of irresponsibility for the lives of the soldiers.

Although Li Jing was a little dissatisfied with Wujiang Road's approach, he couldn't say anything now.Anyway, it will take time to take down Mawangzhuang. Seeing that it is getting late, I will arrange the task.

Only the puppet army remained in the stronghold, and things went surprisingly smoothly.Zhao Changjun and others, who were wearing the sheepskin jacket inside out, rushed into the stronghold quickly, without firing a single shot, they only killed two sentries, and captured the others alive!
Such an easy way to win a stronghold, if it is said that the devil is still in Laiyuan's door, this has to be surprising.These soldiers who participated in the war even felt a little disappointed.However, there is a lot of food in the stronghold, and even a pot of steamed buns was found.Everyone got busy, and when they moved all their things into the yard, the people from Wujiang Road finally arrived.

I learned from the mouth of the puppet army that they didn't know what these devils were doing. They were going to have dinner, but the devil's squad leader took a call and left in a hurry. It was too late for anything specific. He explained that he left without eating, and the remaining steamed buns were prepared for them.

Could it be that something big happened to the devil?With doubts, Li Jing asked Wujiang Road to leave quickly with people carrying food on their backs. He and Shang Deyi's company stayed behind together, and the steamed buns made for the devils were given to these soldiers who stopped.

There is a lot of food, enough for everyone to live frugally for a while.But this place is not a place to stay for a long time, Li Jing tidied up and tied these puppet soldiers in the house.At this time, the people on Wujiang Road had already packed up and set off, so it was time for him to leave with his people.But at this moment, the expressions of the monk and Guo Tiezhu who were guarding outside changed drastically, and they rushed to Li Jing in a hurry.

"Instructor, I just saw a red flare rising from the other side of the mountain!"

Since the establishment of Flying Eagle, Li Jing has exhausted the communication and contact between the two parties. There is no wireless communication equipment these days, and there is also a transmitter, but Li Jing does not have this thing either.So in addition to teaching everyone sign language, Li Jing also agreed with everyone on the contact information of the signal flares.Red means that there are many enemies, unable to resist, evacuate quickly!Yellow means that there are many enemies, but they can be dealt with.Blue represents that the number of enemies is small, and the investigators have been solved, so it is safe.Of course, although this signal flare is known to the insider, it is easy to expose oneself, so it is not used under normal circumstances.And this time, it was the first time Li Jing used it after making an agreement with everyone!
"Withdraw!" Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, his hunch was right!Judging from the devil's actions, this must be a trap!Even if the devils catch up by accident, the devils in the stronghold will never leave!This can only show that the devil already knows his actions and wants to surround himself.But aren't they afraid that they will fight against them with the fortifications they left behind?
He couldn't find a reason, and Li Jing didn't have time to think about it. After running out of the yard, he led the team and retreated.But as soon as he went out, he saw a group of people running past here while shooting back.Immediately afterwards, a soldier ran to the front and shouted out of breath: "Report to the captain! There are a large number of devils behind us! They are carrying mortars, grenades and other light and heavy weapons! The brothers couldn't resist, so they had to retreat to the Meet you here!" Before the soldier's voice hit the ground, a mortar shell roared and landed more than ten meters in front of Li Jing.

Got it!Li Jing secretly called out badly.He led the people back to the stronghold, but at this moment, Zhao Changjun ran over and said with a stern expression: "Instructor, the devils planted mines and explosives here! I just passed by the room where the puppet soldiers were held, and I saw the puppet soldiers The company commander led them to escape! They told me! No matter whether they can detonate or not, people outside know the location of these explosives, as long as one shell hits, all of them will explode here!"

Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, this is really a trap!But this matter was not over yet, He Fei, who was in charge of monitoring the surroundings, suddenly sent out a signal, and a large army of devils was found all around them.And it's already started to catch fire.

There is a barrel of explosives under your feet, which may explode at any time.And the light and heavy machine guns of the devils outside have been set up, and the place is surrounded by water!And in front of the stronghold is several hundred meters of open land, it is impossible to break through!Li Jingxin, who saw all this through the telescope, kept sinking...
