After Li Congjing and the others had completely taken down the Black Cloud Stronghold, Xie Baoqing and the others, who had fled in a panic from the Black Cloud Stronghold, led more than a hundred bandits who had luckily escaped and ran south along the mountain path.
Xie Baoqing, who was out of breath, saw that there were no pursuers behind him. He led his remaining troops to a hillside and sat down to catch his breath.
"Damn it, we don't even know if it was the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army or the Japanese who ambushed us. I was chased out of the Black Cloud Stronghold by my opponent!”Xie Baoqing was indignant. It was too tragic. The Black Cloud Stronghold still had the wealth he had accumulated over the years, weapons, equipment, rations, ammunition, and so on.
However, the second-in-command of the Black Cloud Stronghold, Shan Mao, who had been running along with Xie Baoqing, took a deep breath and said helplessly,"Chief, what should we do now? There are only a hundred of our brothers left! There were not many bullets left in the gun!”。
"Kid, tell me, what should we do?”Xie Baoqing waved his hand helplessly.
Shan Xingzi thought for a moment and calmed himself down. Then, he suggested,"Chief, the Black Cloud Stronghold has fallen into the enemy's hands. If we want to take back the Black Cloud Stronghold, I'm afraid it won't be that easy! The ones who ambushed my Black Cloud Stronghold were either the Jin Suijun or the Japanese! "Moreover, my brothers discovered that the enemies who attacked the Black Cloud Stronghold were all armed with the Japanese's Type 38 rifles. The enemy who suppressed our machine guns at the mountain pass also had two Type 92 heavy machine guns. I heard it clearly.”。
"Are you saying that the ones who attacked the Black Cloud Stronghold were the Kun Tian Squadron of Pinglu?”
Lin Shanzi hesitated for a moment, but he still said with uncertainty,"But our brothers discovered that the enemies who attacked our Black Cloud Stronghold were all armed with Japanese rifles and heavy machine guns! Moreover, the brothers in Yamaguchi discovered that the enemies who attacked upwards were also accompanied by grenade launchers! It's very likely that they're Pinglu's devils!"
"Damn it! This was troublesome! We have fought with the Japanese in Pinglu and robbed them of their food and weapons! It can't be that the little devils from Kuntian Squadron are here to ambush our Black Cloud Stronghold, right?”Xie Baoqing thought for a moment. If the devils from Pinglu attacked, they might really not be able to hold on.
In addition, if the other party knew about the cliff behind the Black Cloud Stronghold, it would make sense for them to climb up!
After all, Xie Baoqing knew that the odds of winning against a regular army were slim.
"Forget it, the Black Cloud Stronghold is lost now! Let's retreat to the south first!" The most dangerous place was the safest place. Xie Baoqing wanted to take the people who had escaped to the south of the Black Cloud Stronghold and hide in the mountains near Pinglu City. He wanted to rest first.
Shan Xingzi thought for a moment. This was also a solution." I'll listen to Chief!”
"Good!“
"Brothers, take a ten-minute break, then retreat south!" Xie Baoqing nodded.“。
"Understood, Chief!" Shan Xingzi nodded and sent someone to convey Xie Baoqing's order.
After receiving the order, the bandits who were already out of breath from running laid on the ground and stopped moving.
Ten minutes later, Xie Baoqing led the remaining troops to the south of the Black Cloud Stronghold.
After all, the Kuntian squadron had already been wiped out by the independent battalion in Death Valley.
Xie Baoqing and the others who were heading south had walked right into the trap. Yamamoto Ichiki would personally command the main force of his Yamamoto Secret Service Team to head north from Shuocheng and rush to Pinglu.
Xie Baoqing and the rest of the Black Cloud Stronghold who were heading south did not know about this at the moment. If they headed south now, they might run into Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team.
Time passed by slowly, and the night soon left.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, at the station of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, in the Independent Regiment Headquarters!
Zhao Gang, who had just been appointed to the Independent Regiment, finally met the new Independent Regiment Commander, Li Yunlong. It had to be said that Li Yunlong was a little unhappy about the political commissar given to him by the brigade headquarters.
However, Li Yunlong didn't beat Zhao Gang!
"Old Li! I'm Zhao Gang!" Zhao Gang chuckled and shook hands with Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said,""Old Zhao, are you from Yanjing University?”。
"Yes, sir! By the way, Old Li, when I just came, I saw the cavalry company and the first battalion gathering. What are you doing?”Zhao Gang suddenly laughed.
Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows. Zhao Gang had seen it clearly. However, seeing that they were already on the same side, Li Yunlong pulled Zhao Gang to the side of the regiment headquarters and said,"Old Zhao, don't you know that there's a cavalry battalion of the Imperial Association Army in Wan Jia Town, which is some distance away from us? I, Old Zhao, was envious, so I sent out a battalion and a cavalry company to snatch back that cavalry battalion of the Imperial Association Army! Hehehe!"
"Old Li, Wan Jia Town is close to Lu, and there is a Japanese squadron in Ping Lu. Once we attack Wan Jia Town, the battle will be in a stalemate. The Gui Zi squadron in Pinglu will send reinforcements. With a quick attack, they will arrive at Wan Jia Town very quickly! I don't agree!" Zhao Gang shook his head and disagreed.
However, Li Yunlong smiled slyly." Old Zhao, you didn't know just now. There were no more ghost squadrons in Ping Lu City! Did you know? The Japanese squadron had already left the city to chase after the 100-odd prisoners of war who had escaped from the county town prison camp! "Now that he hasn't returned, it's the right time for me to make a move! Hehehe!"
He didn't expect that the Ghost Squadron in Pinglu County wasn't in the city at this time. If he followed Li Yunlong's words, he could indeed take down Wan Family Town and seize a cavalry battalion of the Imperial Association Army.
After all, a cavalry unit had at least a few hundred warhorses. The independent regiment had too few cavalrymen. Of course, Zhao Gang knew that!
While Li Yunlong was talking to Zhao Gang, a guerrilla member rushed to the station of the Independent Regiment and reported to Li Yunlong," Commander Li, our Pinglu guerrillas found a large number of dead Japanese in a mountainous area about an hour east of the county town, a place called Death Valley! It seemed to be the Kuntian squadron of the devils stationed in Pinglu County!”
Li Yunlong was shocked." What? The Kuntian squadron was annihilated in Death Valley?”
