As the sun just rose, a squadron of Japanese soldiers pulled a line to face the morning glow and headed south along the east bank of the canal.

Then, a large number of puppet troops followed, and they continued to raid the net.

The purpose of strengthening public security in western Shandong is clear: to open up the canal shipping.

This time the method of sweeping was different from before. The Japanese drove the people to the coast of the western Shandong Canal, trying to replace all the people along the canal with good people!

However, news that the sweeping troops were ambushed in Donglu Village and suffered heavy losses quickly spread.

The Japanese and puppet quickly adjusted their arrangements and mobilized nearby troops to provide large-scale reinforcements to western Shandong.

All the people were worried about the Japanese's methods of strengthening public security, and even the puppet troops who followed the Japanese to mobilize them were dissatisfied.

Resigning to the Japanese was to survive, and the other was to make their families survive in troubled times.

So, when the puppet troops who were home to the canal heard that the Japanese were going to move their families away, many people began to think of ways.

The timid one could only accept his fate, while the bold ones directly carried the gun and became a deserter.

Chinese people all have a complex that they cannot get rid of their hometowns. Even if they move to a better place, they may not be willing to do so!

The plain is in a flat land, and it is almost impossible to stay near home to escape the Japanese's dragnet sweep. The only way is to escape!

Let's wait until the Japanese have finished sweeping!

The villagers in the canal are not the kind of people who face the loess and the sky. Some of them even took boats along the canal to travel north to Tianjin and Peking, with knowledge and ability to find a temporary refuge through relationships.

Hu Yi knew very well the role of radio.

However, for an ordinary combat battalion, the front enemy command cannot pay much attention to it.

Therefore, the only thing Hu Yi can contact now is the division, so the Japanese increased their troops along the canal, and he received the news immediately.

There is also a wounded barracks of Battalion Commander Li's army stationed in Kanzhuang west of the canal, and the situation is not optimistic.

Even if you already know in advance that the Japanese were about to sweep the war, it would not be easy to hide.

The canal flows quietly in the early morning.

After breakfast, gunshots suddenly sounded in the north. The gunshots were not just one or two, and soon became dense. Even the light machine gun began to sound, and finally there was an explosion.

The village was in chaos in the early morning, and the children cried and shouted that they carried food and caught chickens, dogs, cows and sheep.

A soldier ran desperately in the morning glow, panting heavily in the green tent, jumped across the ditch, ran across the bridge, rushed into the noisy and panicked village, shouting anxiously: "Battery Commander... Where is the battalion commander? Battalion commander..."

A middle-aged soldier walked from the village and held the anxious soldier: "What happened!"

"A large number of Japanese soldiers came from the north! Hurry up and organize the transfer of fellow villagers. There are too many Japanese people, and our camp will definitely not be able to stop them!"

Battalion Commander Li immediately turned his head and shouted, "Company Commander 1 and 2, take his men to block the north!"

The warrior who sent the order looked anxious: "Don't block it, the underground comrades have heard news that the Japanese still have armored vehicles behind them. The trenches we dug cannot block them at all. Let's go!"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it. The second company commander will immediately lead the villagers to transfer, and the spy platoon will immediately organize the villagers who meet the water to cross the canal and go west..."

Captain Li's reconnaissance platoon has just been established for only three days.

The Eighth Route Army's tenacious fighting style and strict military discipline won widespread support from the people, and a large number of young people rushed to join the army, which quickly expanded its scale.

The reorganization of troops carried out by superiors has begun for a long time, but some combat troops have no time to reorganize them.

Battalion Commander Li belongs to this kind of army that has not had time to reorganize, and the battalion organization has almost the final say in the regiment.

However, a temporary reconnaissance platoon is added in your own battalion based on actual conditions, and it is not necessary to report to the regiment.

The superiors don’t care about how many companies you have in one battalion. As long as you have the ability to get people and guns, you can do ten companies.

Who doesn’t know what the Japanese are virtues?

Even so, there are still people who don’t believe in evil!

Seeing the two soldiers shouting in the same yard, Battalion Commander Li couldn't help asking, "Why haven't you left yet?"

The soldiers looked aggrieved: "They said the Imperial Army came to the fortunate prosperity of the Greater East Asia, and they would not leave..."

Another soldier next to him quickly explained: "Ma Yuanwai's son is the company commander in the puppet army. He said he wanted to leave, let's go..."

Captain Li walked into the yard: "Mr. Ma, you should know the cruelty of the Japanese. Please clean up and leave here..."

The old man in his garment in his yard was drinking tea slowly: "If you want to leave, you will go, I don't believe your style..."

"you..."

"If you hadn't been causing trouble, would the Imperial Army and others have killed people?"

Battalion Commander Li was dumbfounded: "What do you mean, the Japanese raised their butcher's knife high, and we still have to stretch our necks for them to chop?"

"Don't argue, you still want to take the food in my field while we are up." Mr. Ma curled his lips: "The Qian family across the river has suffered a great disaster because of you who have captured Qinghe County..."

"The one who robs their family is Qinghe County Public Security Army..."

"Even if you tell me about the flowers, I won't believe you. If you hadn't hit the county town, their family would have suffered such a disaster?"

Captain Li was furious and waved to the soldiers: "Take them away!"

Mr. Ma lifted up his long gown and took out a grenade: "You try!"

Captain Li was shocked and stomped his feet: "Since you don't want to, you will bear the consequences!"

After saying that, he turned around.

The figures of the soldiers quickly disappeared into the village alley.

The panicked flow of people ran south along the Qingshi Tent Road on the east bank of the canal.

Some people entered the reed marsh and quickly pushed out the large and small ships hidden inside.

The food and livestock were first on board. In order to increase the one-time transportation capacity, the people who knew the water jumped into the water and climbed the side of the boat with one hand and paddled the water with the other. More than ten small boats quickly drifted to the opposite side of the canal.

More than a hundred people rushed to the north quickly and ignited gunfire.

"The Second Company Commander, immediately arrange four rows to organize the militia to carry the wounded." Li Battalion issued a new order to the Second Company Commander, and then led the guard platoon to start running north.

After experiencing many sweeps of the Japanese, the surviving villagers all had the experience of escaping.

You don’t need to bring too much food, just enough to eat for ten days and half a month.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Other grains are buried in the early digging cellar, and the soil is filled on it unless the Japanese and puppet troops scrape the ground three times, no one can find it.

The key point is efficiency. In just over ten minutes, all the villagers in the village have moved, except for the two families who are unwilling to leave.

It was already dawn, and the doors of several families who were staying in the village were closed.

Although I was not afraid, I was still a little scared.

When Battalion Commander Li came to the blocking position where the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, he had just defeated a vanguard team of the Japanese.

From the left side to the right, slapping the trenches from time to time to pile up soil.

Give the soldiers anger.

According to his past combat experience, he should be here to block it for a while.

Buy more time for the villagers to transfer.

Suddenly thinking about something, my heart moved slightly: "The bomber immediately hung a thunder in the trench, and everyone else retreated to the second line of defense..."

The first line of defense we are now... is actually just a little higher than the north side of the canal of the irrigation site.

The second line of defense is naturally another channel parallel to it.

"Isn't it a waste to hang a mine in the trenches?" The bomber looked puzzled.

"Hehe, after the enemy comes up later, we will shoot. Do you think they have to find cover?"

"The devils don't seem to be so afraid of death..."

"Execute the order!" After saying that, he followed the canal that was more than 100 meters south.

He growled in a hoarse voice: "Shut the soil on the south side of the ditch to the north, and make sure to compact it..."

A soldier hurried over: "Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese have come around from the east..."

"What did you say? The Japanese did not continue to attack from the front?" Battalion Commander Li was stunned.
