Chapter 418: Battle with North Henan again 9

"Eight hooks, eight hooks...", a few 38-style shooting sounds suddenly came from the front. After the gunshot, the "chicken neck" became hoarse. It turned out that Guo Zilin and Chen Jianming, who were ambushing at the more frontier, took action. To deal with such a relatively fixed target, it was the moment when the two of them, who had the sniper level, showed great power.

The Japanese machine gun shooter was shot dead, which gave Dong Zhao and the others valuable time. Taking advantage of the short period of silence of the enemy's heavy machine gun, Dong Zhao called the soldiers to clean the battlefield as soon as possible and then evacuate urgently. When the Type 92 heavy machine gun was fired again, Dong Zhao and the others had already taken away the mules and horses, and rushed back with the seized weapons and ammunition.

It took only ten minutes since the gunfire was fired. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Shuizhi were responding quickly enough. They organized a group of people to rush out from the Ximen, but were crushed by ten Czech-style dense bombs and could not escape. The puppet troops from the squadron in the distance also received a telephone order from Shuizhi's Japanese army. They gathered the team urgently and were coming here.

The puppet army was about 2,000 meters away from the battlefield. Looking at the puppet army that was coming here carefully, Li Qinglin sneered in his heart. Seeing that Dong Zhao had already rushed back to the small village with the team that seized the horse, Li Qinglin ordered: "Hurry, let's go back, hurry up, let's go back."

Withdrawal from the battle is actually more complicated than putting into the battle. All personnel, such as Guo Zilin and Chen Jianming, who are prominent to the forefront, have to collect them back. Dong Zhao needs to take the mule and horse belt that has just been taken and not tamed, and also bring the casualties in the battle. Therefore, the preparation time is not short. After everyone has packed up, the puppet army has touched a distance of nearly a thousand meters.

"Machine gun, shoot over there." Li Qinglin pointed to the group of puppet troops in the distance and ordered.

The machine gun immediately turned around and fired there. The power of the ten machine guns was amazing. The bullets shot like locusts. The group of puppet troops was immediately knocked down, and the puppet troops all lay on the ground to avoid the bullets.

"Cabines, attack," Li Qinglin ordered the ten cavalry on standby.

The ten cavalry, who had been impatient, immediately rode forward and rushed towards the puppet army a thousand meters away.

Starting, speeding up, and sprinting, this 1,000-meter distance is just a short distance in the eyes of the cavalry, and they quickly rushed to the front of the enemy.

"Baopao..." The cavalry emptied the bullets in the wrecked guns in their hands in the shortest time. This dense rain of bullets knocked down some puppet troops. They then took out the grenades from the grenade bag and pulled the cover, pulled the strings, and threw them back when they rushed past the enemy team. "Baopaobooboo..." The grenades knocked down another puppet troops.

After rushing through the enemy's team, the cavalry drew an arc and rushed towards Hejiazhai. Their mission was to evacuate with the brigade after one attack. Now the task of the impact has been completed, and it is now the time to retreat.

Ten cavalrymen quickly circled back to Hejiazhai to meet with Dong Zhao's cavalry. Under Li Qinglin's unified command, everyone rode mules and horses to retreat to Qinghe. When the Japanese and puppet troops who were trained by the water arrived at the battle site, the fierce battle had just happened, except for the corpses of more than a dozen Japanese and a pile of bullet shells left.

The angry Japanese rushed into Hejiazhai. They were preparing to use the cruel Three Lights policy to retaliate against the losses. However, when they really rushed into Hejiazhai, they could not provide any reason to kill people, because all the villagers in Hejiazhai were cut back and helped them tightly. According to the villagers of Hejiazhai, it was the Kuomintang army who sneaked into Hejiazhai late at night and tied up all the villagers. They had no entanglement with the sneak attack on the Imperial Army's horses this time.

The Japanese were skeptical about this statement, but they really couldn't provide evidence to prove that the villagers of Hejiazhai participated in the attack, so the "punishment" of Hejiazhai was finally left alone.

There are dozens of miles of roads from Shuizhi to Sangyu Town, and there are twenty miles of roads around the path. There are two larger puppet army strongholds along the path. However, the sneak attack troops led by Li Qinglin were not attacked or blocked by the organization. The first reason is that the intelligence team had already done the work of the puppet army, and the second reason is that they also destroyed the most important communication line between the Japanese and puppets - the telephone line.

At this time, the Japanese army was actually not a real modern army compared with the German, American, British and Soviet troops, and even the Italian army was not even comparable to the Italian army. However, in Asia, where generally poor and backward, Japan, which was the first to carry out the civil governance and restoration movement, had the opportunity to learn from the West one step ahead of time, and its army was much more advanced than other Asian countries.

Specifically in terms of information communication, the National Government made every effort to make county-level telephone calls and telegraphs; at the military level, telegraphs can only reach the regiment level, and this regiment level can only reach the regiment level with the most elite adjustment division. In the Japanese and puppets, their phones can reach larger strongholds, so in battle, the Japanese and puppets took the lead. In order for the troops to retreat safely, Li Qinglin issued a death order to the reconnaissance team, the civil movement group, and the security team before the war, that is, the enemy's telephone line must be cut off at the beginning of the battle, and ensure that the enemy cannot use this telephone line to transmit information within two hours.

Li Qinglin's order was implemented thoroughly. The people from the Democratic Movement Group, the reconnaissance team and the security team waited early next to the telephone pole. When nine o'clock arrived, these people "raked" the telephone pole with sickles, and then broke the line with their hands, and all the telephone lines of the Japanese and puppet were cut off.

At this time, all the telephone wires were copper core wires. The cut wires were collected by the soldiers. They thought the wires were very strong and were most suitable for tying backpacks, so these wires were all used to tying backpacks.

Li Qinglin and his friends returned to Qinghe smoothly, and the puppet troops in the two contacted strongholds were also very cooperative. When Li Qinglin's large army passed by, they set empty guns into the sky for a while, which was to see off the team that had just successfully attacked.

When the team returned to Sangyu Town, the town was in an instant. The people of Sangyu Town could not be unhappy because this sneak attack was carried out under the enemy's nose. The Ninth Detachment killed only one person and injured three people, killed twenty-three enemies, seized thirty-two mules and horses, seized thirty-nine rifles and a batch of Japanese military uniforms and other equipment.

This battle was a battle at the ninth detachment level. It was supposed to be a celebration meeting in Qinghe, where the detachment headquarters was located, but the people of Sangyu Town did not let Li Qinglin go. The celebration meeting eventually turned into a celebration banquet. The gentry and merchants in Sangyu Town paid for a banquet to celebrate the raid troops led by Li Qinglin.

To celebrate the ninth detachment, Liang Xixian and others will naturally be invited. The officers of the ninth detachment and the gentry and merchants of Sangyu Town gathered together, and the atmosphere of military and civilians was naturally harmonious during the meal.

As the president of Sangyu Town Business Association, Pi Xianqiong was the first to toast Li Qinglin. He raised his glass and said, "Commander Li, in ancient times, Zhang Yide took the heads of the generals from a million troops, and Zhao Zilong entered and exited Changbanpo for seven times, as if he was entering a world of no one. I thought that such a great hero had become a masterpiece for all ages, but I didn't want to see Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Commander Li today. Please drink this glass of wine. The people of Sangyu Town thank you."

After Pi Xianqian finished speaking, he bowed to the ground first, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Li Qinglin naturally did not dare to be greedy for merit. He quickly stood up, raised his glass and drank it all, and said, "Dear fellow villagers, the Ninth Detachment is a member of the National Army. It is our responsibility to drive away the enemy and restore China. As for the successful completion of the task this time, it is entirely up to you to work together to achieve it."

As he said that, he pointed to Liang Xixian, Liu Changda, Wang Leshan and others who were sitting in the seat and said, "We don't have a perfect combat plan, no reconnaissance team, social democracy movement group, and militia brothers' careful operation in advance, we don't know how much difficulties we will suffer."

Liang Xixian and others quickly stood up and said, "The commander is too modest. These are what subordinates should do."

Pi Xianqian said on the side: "Everyone, the autumn harvest will be in a while. We have to ask the team to worry about it when it is autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, we must pay enough military rations for the team."

The gentry needed the most military protection, and they all said, "As long as the Japanese don't come to harm the disaster, we guarantee that there will be a lot of military rations."

Luo Dafu secretly gave a thumbs up and said, "It's still the commander who is powerful, so the problem of military rations is solved."

Li Qinglin sat down and said, "The people will be confident when we win the battle, otherwise they will not be so generous."

Everyone was in a good mood after winning the battle. They ate and drank happily in this celebration banquet. By the end, many people left in a drunken state.

Back at Qinghe, Li Qinglin called Liu Changda and asked, "Chief of Staff, is the Railway Destruction Team here?"

Liu Changda replied: "The telegram means that you can arrive tomorrow, and the Second Brigade has sent someone to pick it up."

"I asked them to organize personnel to learn blasting technology from the sabotage team. How are they ready?" Li Qinglin continued to ask.

Liu Changda replied: "The personnel have been selected, but playing with explosives is a technical job, so they still lack confidence."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "I never know how to do anything. I will learn when I have time. However, you notify Wen Shaoxuan and the others and ask them to urge the destruction team to make some noise on the railway as soon as possible. The noise should not be too small, and the Japanese will hurt once. Otherwise, the Japanese who were in Shuizhi suffered a great loss today. According to their style, they might send troops to us to take revenge."

Liu Changda nodded and said, "I will send someone to inform them."

"Are Liu Fengan and Liu Yunsheng still honest recently?" Li Qinglin asked.

Liu Changda said: "Director Liang and the others can see that they are very strict. It is said that they are quite honest now."

Li Qinglin said: "These two people need to be controlled well, and they are of use to us."

"Commander, what other good ideas do you have?" Liu Changda asked with a smile.
