After several days of fighting, the Japanese suffered huge losses. At least a lot of wounded soldiers were added in the hospital, and most of them were probably going to have to return to China for retirement.

It was soon the end of April, and Li Jian felt that the smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and several Japanese divisions were preparing.

The 36th, 37th, 41st Division, the 3rd, 9th Independent Brigade, and the 24th Pseudo-Team are distributed in Jiangxian, Henglingguan, Wenxi, Xiaxian, Anyi, Yuncheng, Jiezhou, Yongji, Fenglingdu, Hejin and Wenxi, and north of Xiaxian.

Li Jian finally found that he almost surrounded the Japanese. Fortunately, many of his troops continued to Shaanxi along the west.

In this way, they also occupied their own territory. Even if they could not defeat the Japanese, they could retreat, and they no longer had to be in the Japanese encirclement like before.

Li Jian was a little nervous at this moment. There were actually three divisions and two brigades nearby.

Fortunately, the National Government Army had two armies of more than 100,000 people nearby. The Japanese were not targeting him, otherwise less than 10,000 people would have been eaten by the Japanese long ago.

At this time, Li Jian found that he could no longer be idle and ordered all battalions not to destroy the Japanese's actions as they did before.

For a time, the Independent Detachment, the Japanese and the National Government Army formed an embarrassing scene where you have me and I have you.

Jin Zilong made a quick decision and first ate a large group of Japanese devils. He knew that although this was too much casualties, if he didn't fight, the passage between him and Li Jian would be cut off by Japanese devils and he could only fight.

Of course, the Japanese were not vegetarians, so they immediately fought back. The independent detachment immediately restrained the Japanese who were nearly a division.

That morning, Li Jian received a telegram from Xi'an. First, he thanked Li Jian for restraining so many Japanese soldiers in the telegram, and then hoped that Li Jian would keep restraining.

Although he wanted to take the opportunity to get some benefits, considering that Xi'an and Chongqing are probably already in a state of trouble now, making such wealth is to make money from the national crisis, which is unbearable.

He could only agree to his idea. As for the benefits promised by several chiefs and chairman in the telegram, he dared not expect anything more.

If you win, the other party will only brag about his contributions. As for the Eighth Route Army, it will be completely downplayed. If you lose, then whoever remembers Li Jian’s help, and whoever cares whether you have helped or not is it.

So you won’t get any benefits on the spot, so don’t think about it again in the future.

Chen Wende is no longer at the old house of the Gu family. Now he is leading the guerrillas to retreat with the people. For a moment, the name of the Eighth Route Army has also spread.

"Captain, there are Japanese devils in the north trying to attack the Third Battalion. Should we fight or withdraw?"

Recently, Zhang Tian didn’t know whether he was lucky or bad. He was injured again when he went to the battlefield and his leg was injured.

Last time it was the left leg, this time it was the right leg, Li Jian left him at the command center.

"Want, why not!"

Li Jian said in one sentence, of course he had to fight the Japanese hard. If he didn't fight to death, he thought the Eighth Route Army was easy to bully!

"yes!"

Zhang Tian received the order and quickly sent it over. The Third Battalion Commander was a veteran of the Independent Detachment. When he heard Li Jian say to start fighting, he pulled the artillery company up.

The Japanese didn't know that the Third Battalion was powerful at first, but in the end they suffered a great loss, which almost made the shells explode.

However, no one could deny the powerful combat power of the Japanese. After summarizing their mistakes, they fought fiercely with the Third Battalion.

Both sides fought back and forth, and the fight was extremely fierce, but unfortunately neither side sent reinforcements.

The reason is that the Japanese were about to go south to fight against the National Government Army. Li Jian’s people were all half-new soldiers, so he had to guard against the Japanese.

The mission of the Third Battalion suddenly became heavier. The Third Battalion Commander's hair turned white these days, and in the end, there were only more than 100 people left in the entire battalion.

The Japanese were not feeling well. In the early stage, nearly 300 of their artillery bombed them and could not go to the battlefield. In the end, more than 100 casualties were killed and killed, and now only about 400 people are left.

"Brothers, we only have to hold on for one day this time..."

"It's only one day!"

The third battalion commander's face was covered with blood, and there was no way to see where the hole was broken. There were also many scratches on the steel helmet, which should be caused by the friction of sand and gravel.

"Battery Commander, just say how to fight!"

The first company commander is now wrapped in bandages, holding a large 38-meter cover in his hand, and the bayonet is covered with blood. Now it is still dripping down!

"Yes, I'll tell you how to do it!"

They suffered too many casualties these days. In the city of Sanying City, half of their brothers were gone in an instant. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little red in their eyes and wanted to stab the bayonet into the Japanese's chest.

"Listen to me, we are not short of ammunition or shells now! But our mission is to hold on for a day, so we have to bury mines nearby and not let the Japanese pass here!"

The third battalion commander knew that it was also important to take care of his position. If they were gone, let the Japanese pass by, the other Japanese would definitely take the opportunity to move when they saw such an advantage.

Now both sides are waiting, whoever wins will have a greater advantage, and they can even fight back.

"Okay, let's do it!"

After saying that, a group of platoon leaders and squad leaders were like engineers who were pulling carriages and carrying mines, burying mines on nearby roads.

What is surprising is that many people who have always been unaware of the Eighth Route Army have come out to help.

Although these people only gave them a glass of water or helped pull a car, many of them saw their kindness and no longer had the hostility they had towards the gun-carrying soldiers before.

The Japanese arrived in the morning after the mines were buried in the afternoon. The two sides launched a less intense battle. The Japanese could not break through the Eighth Route Army's mine formation, and the mines could not destroy the Japanese. The two sides began to confront each other.

"Bagaya Road, catch some ordinary people to go to these mines!"

The Japanese captain shouted in anger, but at this time, a traitor and other person who had contact with the Japanese did not know if he had discovered his conscience.

I heard that the Japanese were going to use landmines for ordinary people, which was awesome. I immediately ran to a nearby village to notify the people to leave quickly.

In the end, the Japanese did not catch the person, but instead caught the informed person and directly chased him to death with a bayonet.

After receiving the news, the third battalion commander split a piece of wood as thick as a bowl in front of him, and combined with the bloody face, he looked very fierce.

"This revenge will be avenged!"

It turned out that the person who was killed by the Japanese was their underground party comrade. He was known as a traitor for some reasons. Now he died tragically under the Japanese bayonet. How could he not be sad, but he was more angry!

For a moment, the two sides started a bloody battle again. This time they had only one idea, that is, to kill at least one Japanese, and even if they die, they would have to take one cushion.
