As a military commander, Li Qinglin certainly would not ignore the sudden emergence of this Eighth Route Team. Li Qinglin actually made a judgment in his mind. He believed that although this team has strong combat power and caused great trouble to the enemy, this unit would definitely not be a new team, and it is very likely that it was sent by Liu Zhenghong.

The reason for Li Qinglin to make such a judgment is very simple. If the Eighth Route Army sent a new force with strong combat power, it must be the old force drawn from their old base; and the Eighth Route Army's old base is hundreds of miles away from the Northern Henan Military Sub-district. If this force is newly sent, they must travel to the northern Henan area after a long journey and then cross the firefighting area to enter the enemy-occupied area. After such a long journey and not being discovered by all parties, Li Qinglin was confident that he could not do it, and probably the Eighth Route Army could not do it either, so this was an impossible task.

Although Li Qinglin had already determined that this was the small army on Liu Zhenghong's side, he did not immediately deny Liang Xixian's statement. As a front-line military commander-in-chief, Li Qinglin knew that his troops would continue to persist in the northern Henan region for a long time, and the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops would not stop. Their step-by-step pressing would make his living environment more and more difficult. Li Qinglin needed to use this matter to fight for the greatest benefit of his troops.

Li Qinglin didn't speak for the time being, but actually made a gesture, that is, he was thinking carefully. Finally, Li Qinglin felt that he had enough time and had enough plays. He said, "Director Liang, since the new Eighth Route Team has appeared here, we must report it in time. Please write a report to the First War Zone."

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the war zone right away." Liang Xixian put on a hat and prepared to go out.

"Director Liang, please say hello to Luo Dafu by the way, and ask him to write a report to the War Zone Staff Office and the Military Control Department, requiring the allocation of ammunition and food immediately, and the additional strong men also need to be allocated immediately." Li Qinglin added behind him: "The Eighth Route Army has increased its troops, so we won't be able to hurry up. Is the First War Zone going to throw the entire northern Henan to the Eighth Route Army?"

Due to various reasons, the Ninth Detachment received no timely supplements. In this situation where military supplies and men are replenishing intermittently, Li Qinglin's troops can only maintain food, grass and ammunition. It can be said that it is difficult for Li Qinglin's troops to withstand a major battle.

The War of Resistance has been going through several years, and the Japanese military offensive and economic severance strategy showed some power. In addition, the northern Henan region is very barren, and the people and financial resources in the region have basically been exhausted. Without the support of the rear, it would be impossible for Li Qinglin to maintain such a large army and maintain combat power. It was precisely this opportunity that he applied for supplements to the war zone through Liang Xixian's mouth.

Shimada and Iijima led the team to sweep the Eighth Route Army Northern Henan Military Sub-district. Although they all went deep into the hinterland of the Northern Henan Military Sub-district and achieved some results in the battle, they did not destroy the Eighth Route Army, the weakest in the region. In the end, the Eighth Route Army troops were turned upside down within their occupied areas. The command center that arranged this time to rectify the battle had to withdraw its troops. In addition, the Japanese army also urgently mobilized troops from other places to strengthen defense. It can be said that this careful mobilization has completely failed.

On the Eighth Route Army side, Liu Zhenghong finally led the remaining soldiers in his hands to rush back to the Hu family shack. They seized a lot this time, but the soldiers who finally returned to the base area did not even have a hundred people. Besides, the side of Yuan Dahuzi, their casualties were not small. In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops destroyed the base area and suffered unprecedented losses. It can be said that the Eighth Route Army would find it difficult to recover its vitality in a short period of time.

There was a mess outside. Jin Erling and Zhou Yougen, who were hiding in a small cave, ate and slept all day long, as if they had lived a life like a god. However, this kind of life didn't take long, because the two of them were going to have dinner, and the food that Jin Erling brought up the mountain for the second time was gone. Jin Erling decided to risk going back to the village to get the food again.

The Japanese were still rampant in the base areas. No one could tell when they left. There were puppet troops and the so-called Xuanfu team following the Japanese. These people appeared in the village from time to time. Jin Erlang might meet these people.

Fortunately, there is a horse now. Jin Erling rode a horse with a spear on his back and chose to go down the mountain at noon. It is precisely because of this horse that Jin Erling thought the back and forth speed was much faster. If nothing unexpected happened, he would go down the mountain at noon and would be able to come back with food before evening.

Shortly after Jin Er left, Zhou Yougen fell asleep again. This time, Zhou Yougen suffered a penetration injury. Although the wound was not infected, he lost too much blood, so Zhou Yougen's body was extremely weak. Zhou Yougen has been resting and recuperating these days, but the conditions on the mountain were limited, so his body recovered slowly.

Zhou Yougen slept until the night, until he was awakened by a violent scream. It could be heard from the voice that the person who was shouting was still a woman, and it was most likely a young southern woman.

It was already dark at this time, and the cave was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. Zhou Yougen didn't know who came outside, nor did he know what was going on now. He forced himself to sit up and held the **** with all bullets in his hand. Zhou Yougen thought that although the gun had no bullets, it was still a heavy iron guy after all, and smashing it at the critical moment might have some effect.

Just when Zhou Yougen was nervous, Jin Erlang's voice sounded outside: "Stop scolding, I'm not a bandit, I'm an Eighth Route Army militia."

"Are you a militia? Are you lying to the ghost? Will the Eighth Route Army militia kidnap women? Will they carry people up the mountain? You are a bandit, a bad person!" the woman cursed.

"Woman? Are you from the Japanese Xuanfu class, a traitor, or a female traitor. I am not kidnapping you now, but I have captured you." Jin Er shouted with confidence.

"The Eighth Route Army and the militia have been driven away by the Locust Army. You are a bandit and you are a bad person. Wait, wait, when the Locust Army comes, you are just waiting to be beheaded!" The woman was a little less arrogant, but her tone was still very tough. Now she actually took out the Japanese to scare Jin Erlang.

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Zhou Yougen heard a "bang", and then he heard a "ah" sound from the woman. It was obvious that Jin Erlang was angry, and he threw the woman directly at the entrance of the hole.

Then he heard a sound of "clicking, clicking" and a small flame lit up at the entrance of the cave. A faint fire light hit by the fire sickle, Jin Er lit a small fire. Now that there is a fire, there is enough light. Zhou Yougen finally saw the woman thrown at the entrance of the cave with the fire. (To be continued...)
