Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

After passing two checkpoints set up by the Japanese, Lin Zhenhua and Li Yunlong learned that the Japanese had sent a battalion of troops to encircle them, and they had no choice but to abandon the vehicle.

Before leaving, they blew up the Japanese vehicles and marched towards the northwest. In the evening, they arrived near Liujiazhuang.

Pah pah pah da da!

At this moment, continuous gunfire suddenly came from the front. Li Yunlong quickly ordered: "Everyone hide, monk, go and see what's going on in front."

As soon as they heard the gunshots, the soldiers of the reinforced company dispersed and hid on both sides of the road. After experiencing many bloody battles, the soldiers of the reinforced company had long since transformed into veterans. Their reaction and coping abilities on the battlefield were very high.

Li Yunlong immediately pinned Lin Zhenhua to the ground and asked for a submachine gun from the submachine gun squad for Lin Zhenhua to use.

"Captain Li, get up from me quickly, you almost crushed me to death! Judging from the sound, they must be puppet soldiers. If they really met the devils, they would have been captured by them long ago!"

Li Yunlong angrily scolded: "Student Lin, can you be quiet for a while? The battlefield is very dangerous, you must not act on your own. We have a lot of bullets and shells now, and we can't take them away. It's better to consume more on the road and kill some of the devils and eliminate their manpower!"

The monk Wei Dayong, who had just gone to investigate, returned a few minutes later and said in a low voice: "Commander, there are more than 60 puppet cavalrymen ahead, chasing a squad of Eighth Route Army soldiers. I think I saw Doctor Wang Xuecheng. It is very likely that they have lost contact with the division hospital!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he ordered, "Brothers, Doctor Wang from the division headquarters is being hunted by the puppet army. The situation is extremely critical. Give me your light machine guns to use as machine guns. Kill these puppet soldiers and seize their horses!"

Li Yunlong picked up the Type 38 rifle in his hand, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, aimed at the puppet cavalry company commander in front of him, and fired, "Brothers, shoot!"

As he spoke, Li Yunlong was the first to pull the trigger. The 6.8mm caliber rifle bullet fired accurately hit the forehead of the puppet cavalry company commander who was just about to swing his saber, knocking his skull and military cap off his head and causing him to fall from the horse's back.

At the same time, the soldiers of the reinforced company also launched an assault. The 12 light machine guns in the lead opened fire at full power and killed seven or eight puppet soldiers in the first time. The puppet soldiers screamed and fell off their horses.

"Oh no! We have run into the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Retreat as soon as possible!"

"Oh no! The company commander has been killed. Let's run!"

The remaining puppet cavalry did not expect to encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army and were terrified. They abandoned the bodies of their comrades and their horses and tried to flee in all directions like stray dogs. However, their escape route was blocked by Wang Chengzhu's mortars and they had no choice but to kneel down and surrender.

Wang Xuecheng and others who were fleeing heard the gunshots behind them and looked back immediately. When they found that it was their own team, they quickly lay on the ground and fought back at the puppet army.

In just ten minutes, the reinforced company led by Li Yunlong ended the battle. This speed stunned Wang Xuecheng and eight others. They had never heard that the Eighth Route Army had such a strong team.

"Doctor Wang, this is really our Eighth Route Army. I just saw that they have more than a dozen light machine guns and mortars. They don't hesitate to use bullets and shells when fighting. I am not dreaming!"

After escaping from the death crisis, Doctor Wang also had the leisure to joke with Han Xiaohai, curling his lips and saying: "You ask me, who should I ask? The battle is over, let's hurry up and ask them, to see which unit they are from?"

Before Wang Xuecheng and the others could get up from the ground, Lin Zhenhua had already come over. He greeted Wang Xuecheng on the ground, "Doctor Wang, hurry up and get up! We need to hurry up and move. I estimate that the Japanese will hear the noise and rush over as soon as possible!"

When Wang Xuecheng saw that it was Lin Zhenhua, he jumped up happily and said, "That's great! I didn't expect to meet you, classmate Lin. Now our safety is finally guaranteed!"

"Doctor Wang, now is not the time to be happy. Tell me about your situation. Why didn't you transfer with the division hospital?"

Wang Xuecheng sighed and said, "The division hospital has been relocated in advance. We were scattered by the Japanese while escorting a group of seriously injured soldiers. We finally escaped under the cover of the seriously injured soldiers, but we ran into the puppet cavalry! There were eight of us in total, five of whom were soldiers from the guard company. In addition to me, the remaining two were nurses from the hospital. We were almost caught by the puppet army. We only had more than 20 bullets left. Fortunately, we met you!"

Just as Lin Zhenhua was about to speak, Li Yunlong also rushed over. After listening to what Dr. Wang Xuecheng had to say, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn the Japs, they got away with it. If I run into them, I'll shoot them to death!"

"Student Lin, according to what Doctor Wang said, the direction we chose before is wrong. There is a large group of Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet troops waiting for us in this direction. It seems that we need to change the direction of our breakout. If we continue to move forward, we will be surrounded by the Japanese soldiers!"

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said worriedly, "It seems that our previous intelligence was wrong. The Japanese may send more troops. If all else fails, we can go to Yangjiazhuang. We have stayed there for a few days and are familiar with the surrounding terrain. Let's hide there for the time being!"

"Student Lin, you think the same as I do. Let's go to Yangjiazhuang to rest first. After several days of fighting and traveling, the soldiers' physical strength has reached its limit. We must rest well before taking the next step!"

"Doctor Wang, you will follow our main force in a while. Five soldiers from the guard company will be temporarily incorporated into our team to take charge of combat operations. Doctor Wang and two other nurses will be responsible for taking care of the wounded. This is the arrangement for now!"

"Monk, replace the Hanyang rifles in the hands of the five soldiers with the Japanese's Type 50 rifles, and give each of them rounds of ammunition."

Lin Zhenhua immediately spoke up, "Captain Li, the arrival of this group of puppet troops is really a coincidence. The guns and ammunition we had buried near Liujiazhuang can be transported by horse. We no longer have to worry about the transportation of ammunition. This really saves us a lot of effort!"

"Hahaha, you know what, our luck is really good. With these 60 war horses, we can carry a lot more things!"
