In view of this background, the National Party canceled the attack on the village and the army began to retreat.
Before Li Yuqiong left, she went up the mountain again to discuss with her sister, Li Yuxian, about the peaceful co-existence of the two sides in the future and the joint anti-Japanese war. This time, the two sisters reached an agreement. If the Japanese attacked them, both sides would join hands to fight against the enemy.
Li Yuqiong then asked Xuan Zuo," The Japanese are here. Are you going to fight them?"”
"Since the two young ladies are fighting, I'll naturally fight as well!" Xuan Zuo hurriedly said.”However, he thought to himself, That depends on whether they come to provoke me or not! If they didn't provoke me, why would I fight them for no reason?”He did not have any concept of country or nationality in his heart. He only thought about how to comfortably be a bandit in this chaotic world!
After Li Yuqiong finished talking with the two of them, she left and returned to the provincial capital to report her job.
Not long after she left, Commander Cheng, Li Yuxian, and the rest led the Red Army soldiers out of the stronghold and returned to the base.
After the Lugouqiao Incident, the Japanese army continued to attack, and Peiping fell at the end of July. In the middle of August, the Japanese army began to attack Shanghai. The Generalissimo Jiang was determined to fight the Japanese army to the death in Shanghai. He mobilized a large number of troops to gather in Shanghai. All the provinces in the country also transferred troops to help Shanghai. China and Japan invested more than one million troops in Shanghai. The fierce battle lasted for three months, with heavy casualties. By mid-November, Shanghai fell.
After the Japanese army captured Shanghai, they continued to advance westward, heading straight for Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China!
On December 1, the Japanese army issued an order to attack Nanjing, and the Nanjing Battle officially began. Due to a major mistake in the battle organization and command of the Kuomingtang authorities, the battle was lost. By December 13, the Japanese army only took ten days to capture Nanjing City, and the capital Nanjing fell.
The Japanese army was unstoppable, and in a few years, they occupied a large piece of territory in China. That year, the Japanese army finally reached the area where Pingliang Town was located. The Guomindang army was no match for them. After a symbolic resistance, they ordered a retreat, giving the strategic location of Pingliang to the Japanese, causing Pingliang Town to fall.
After that, the Japanese army's offensive in this direction temporarily stopped. The two sides used Pingliang Town as the dividing line. The east was the Japanese occupied area, and the west was the Kuomintang-controlled area. They faced each other.
The arrival of the Japanese army did not have much of an impact on Xuan Zuo. He was still free to be his bandit boss. However, the Japanese were more vicious than him. They burned, killed, and robbed along the way, making the people miserable. It became more and more difficult for him to snatch anything from the people, making him very angry.
Xuan Zuo did not want to provoke the Japanese, but because of the Eldest Miss and Second Miss, he was too embarrassed to rob the National Party and the Eighth Route Army. Since he couldn't get anything from the commoners, he had no choice but to rob the Japanese!
The Eighth Route Army was in the same situation as him. They lacked supplies, and their allies and civilians could not rob them, so they could only target the Japanese.
Thus, the two sides started a competition to rob the Japanese. Robbing a transport team in the east and pulling out a turret in the west were extremely busy. In contrast, the Guomindang army had become a bystander. It was no wonder. They had supplies from above and did not lack anything. They did not want to do such small things. In a head-on confrontation, they were not a match for the Japanese, so they could only watch from the sidelines!
Xuan Zuo was different from the 8th Route Army. He only cared about whether he could get something and did not consider any strategic and tactical needs. Therefore, he would not do something as thankless as pulling out the turret and the bunker. He usually only robbed the Japanese transport team.
The first time they robbed the Japanese's transport team, the Japanese only had a small team to escort them. Xuan Zuo brought five to six hundred people, which was more than ten times their number. He did not take them seriously at all and led his men to rush forward. However, he did not expect the Japanese's tactical skills to be very high. The battle formation of mutual protection and cooperation was very tight, and their marksmanship was also very accurate. In the end, more than a hundred people were laid down halfway. When they rushed forward and fought hand-to-hand, The Japanese were also very well-trained in using their daggers. They were steady and ruthless. They let go of 60 to 70 of their men. It was only because of Xuan Zuo, Qin Yong, and a few other people's bravery that they finally took care of these dozens of Japanese. Otherwise, it was still uncertain who would rob who!
Even though they had managed to snatch a lot of resources in the end, they had lost over 200 people, which made Xuan Zuo very angry. From then on, he finally understood the power of the Japanese army. No matter what action they took, they would plan it very carefully. They would choose the most favorable terrain, bury mines, explosives, and bring more grenades in advance. They would try their best to kill the Japanese as much as possible at the beginning of the surprise attack!
In addition, despite the pain, he also began to allocate ammunition for his subordinates to practice shooting. Otherwise, not only would it waste ammunition when they were ambushed, but it would also increase their own casualties! Xuan Zuo also asked Qin Yong and a few other skilled people to start teaching everyone martial arts. Being a bandit meant that one had to be ruthless and fierce enough. Being picked up by others like cutting melons and vegetables was too f * cking embarrassing for a bandit. It made Xuan Zuo feel very embarrassed!
Once, Xuan Zuo received news of a Japanese transport team and rushed to ambush and rob them. After arriving at the place, they unexpectedly met the Eighth Route Army's Commander Cheng who had also brought a group of people to ambush and rob them.
The two sides met face to face. Guild Leader Cheng chuckled and greeted,""Brother Xuan, what a coincidence! What brings you here?"
Xuan Zuo laughed dryly and replied,"I heard that a Japanese transport team was passing by, so I specially came here to get some benefits!"”
Commander Cheng said," I also received news about the Japanese transport team and came here to get some benefits. I didn't expect to meet you, brother!" Look at how many monks there are but not enough porridge. It's not enough! Your lives are much better than ours. Why don't you let us have it this time? I owe you a favor. If there's anything good in the future, I'll definitely let you come first!”
Xuan Zuo didn't fall for his trick. He sighed and said,""Brother Cheng, you don't know, but ever since this Japanese came, my life hasn't been good either! It's getting worse by the day! I have thousands of people to feed, and I have a lot of mouths to talk about. I have to consume a large amount of food every day. Everyone has their own difficulties. I think we should do this. Everyone will rely on their own abilities. Whoever snatches it first will get it!”
Commander Cheng heard what he said and didn't say anything else. If he continued, it would be as if he admitted that the 8th Route Army couldn't beat them! So he laughed and said,"Then let's use our own abilities and show our magical powers!"”After saying that, he led his subordinates to seize the favorable terrain and lay in ambush.
Xuan Zuo had been seized by him and had snatched the best ambush position. He couldn't help but curse in his heart."Old fox!" He quickly led his men to find other places to set up an ambush.
