The shells roared down from the top of the tree and exploded in the woods. Zheng Chengkui's people were blown away and turned toward each other. Many of them were people who had not experienced real battles.

Dong Limao knew in his heart that if he continued to waste time with the Japanese, he would be the one who suffered the loss. He ran to Zheng Chengkui: "Captain Zheng, take your people out of the battle!"

Zheng Chengkui had never fought any major battles before, and the ambush was severely damaged and had long lost his mind.

"Okay!" Zheng Chengkui replied, as if he had thought of something. He just turned around and was about to run away, and then stopped and asked, "What should you do?"

"Don't worry about us! I'll give you three minutes to evacuate the Japanese firepower range!" Dong Limao observed the situation of the Japanese opposite, but did not look at Zheng Chengkui.

Zheng Chengkui patted Dong Limao on the shoulder, asking the soldiers around him to pass the message and quickly withdraw from the battle.

Dong Limao was not sure whether he could escape with the spy company, but he made a very wise decision.

"Erzhao! Have you seen that cliff?" Dong Limao pointed to a cliff that protruded from the ridge on the left and said, "Take the brothers of the sniper squad up, hurry up! I'll see the Japanese mortars and shoot him!"

"Yes!" Wang Jiagui replied, greeted his sniper squad, and ran towards the cliff in the fire of artillery.

"Little beard, tell my brothers that I will cover it with the machine gun platoon, and the rest will go to the left and follow Nijo and the others to evacuate!" Dong Limao saw that only the tail of Ikeda Hiroji's convoy had weak firepower, and there were armored vehicles in front, so the machine guns and cannons on the vehicle were not easy to kill.

After a wave of mortars, Koji Ikeda and his men began to attack, first sweeping into the woods with all the machine guns. The trees as big as bowls were swept off in the waist.

The spies even lowered their heads and hid behind the big tree, and bullets flew past them.

Seeing that the other party did not fight back, Hiroji Ikeda pointed his sword forward and howled: "Run..."

Suddenly, the Japanese carrying the 38-large rifle was like a group of madmen released from the madhouse, screaming and starting to pounce on the woods.

At this time, the Japanese machine guns did not dare to fire their guns in a presumptuous manner, for fear of hurting their own people by accident, so the machine gunner also followed suit and found a position to prepare for the second round of strafing.

This is an excellent time to fight back. Dong Limao certainly understood that he stood behind a big tree and shouted: "Kill..."

Zhang Dali's machine gun platoon greeted the Japanese who were rushing up, and ran in the front row of Japanese soldiers. The blood spurted out when they were shot, and they all seemed like tree stumps cut in half. They fell backwards. The Japanese soldiers behind immediately lay down or hid behind the trees.

Dong Limao shouted: "Take the grenade! Retreat!" He threw a grenade at the Japanese lying down on the opposite side.

The machine gun platoon soldiers also stood up, threw a grenade at the opposite side, picked up the machine gun and retreated quickly.

Dozens of grenades exploded, and the smoke blocked the Japanese's sight, winning Dong Limao and others a precious few seconds.

The attack was blocked, and Koji Ikeda ordered the mortar to open fire.

But at this time, Wang Jiagui's sniper squad had climbed up the cliff and could see clearly where the mortar was located from a high place. They were all sharpshooters, and they were in broad daylight, with clear vision. More than a dozen people started shooting one at a time, and cleared out more than twenty people who were setting ammunition next to the mortars.

Zhao Yong and his men retreated for one or two minutes before the machine gun platoon led by Dong Limao, but they did not retreat far away, but formed a fan-shaped blocking circle several hundred meters away to cover the machine gun platoon. This is a set of staging evacuation tactics practiced by Dong Limao, which was well applied in many practical battles. Each soldier had a very tacit understanding. Even if there were only two people, they would cover each other's retreat in this way.

Wang Jiagui's sniper squad played the greatest role, and the Japanese mortars could hardly fire shells from the muzzle.

Hiroji Ikeda realized that it was not just Zheng Chengkui's troops, but also the spy company. He had suffered from Dong Limao's losses twice. He knew that this spy company was powerful and was afraid of being beaten by Dong Limao again and lost all his face, so he had to let the spy company slip away from his nose. He vented his anger on dozens of captured wounded soldiers. All of these wounded soldiers were Zheng Chengkui's people. Hiroji Ikeda ordered them to be stabbed to death with bayonets. Almost every wounded person was stabbed at least three times, and every Japanese devil was stabbed. This was the best way for him to train his subordinates to kill people.

The spies were injured in a row, but they were all carried by their comrades and evacuated with the troops. Zheng Chengkui's troops lost three or four hundred people this time, while Koji Ikeda's people, plus dozens of Wang Jingui's Iron's Iron's Army, only more than 200 casualties. This battle to rob food ended with Koji Ikeda's victory.

Without food, hundreds of people were killed in battle, which made Zheng Chengkui's troops even more disintegrated. They retreated from the battle and were all listless.

After Dong Limao and his spy company evacuated, they caught up with Zheng Chengkui and the others. It was already the evening when the sun was about to set.

"It's all my fault. I'm too eager to get food!" Zheng Chengkui seemed to be reviewing in front of Dong Limao: "The lives of hundreds of brothers were ruined in vain! If Company Commander Dong hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Now, no matter what you say, you can't get rid of the lives of those dead brothers. Captain Zheng, you have to cheer up, the road ahead will be long." Dong Limao patted Zheng Chengkui's shoulder and comforted him.

"Brother Jiacheng, what should I do? There is no food in the copycat now. I really don't want to disband this anti-Japanese team, but the problem is, I..." Zheng Chengkui said in frustration.

"Or why don't we go back to the mountains and ask Wang Fugui to borrow grain." Dong Limao stopped and looked towards Tengchong City and said, "The Japanese would never dream of us coming to this move. Although Wang Fugui's granary is not as abundant as the granary in the city, it is also indispensable. Even if it is to boost morale for the troops in the mountain village and stabilize the morale of the army for the time being."

"I listen to Brother Jiacheng. Your idea is absolutely impossible to be wrong. Let's do it if you say it!" Of course, Zheng Chengkui didn't want to go back to the village in such a shame. It would be so embarrassing.

"Okay, there is no need for everyone to go out. I will lead a squad, Captain Zheng will bring a company to catch up with mules and horses. Some of the rest will carry the injured brother back to the mountain village for treatment first, and the rest will ambush us halfway, just in case." Dong Limao made a decision immediately.

"Okay, that's it!" Zheng Chengkui began to pass orders to his people.

Dong Limao only left Wang Jiagui's sniper squad. When the bald horse heard that he was looking for Wang Fugui, he said he would go no matter what.

"No, this is not the time to avenge personal revenge. Keeping Wang Fugui is of use to us!" Dong Limao disagreed with the bald horse to follow him, worried that he would ruin the big thing in an impulse.

"It's okay if I don't kill him! Brother, please bring me with me. I can convince the villagers that each family will take out some grain to supply the brothers in the village. In the future, we can buy grain from them quietly. Besides, not only Wang Fugui's family has a granary, but also a few rich families also have a large number of grain stored in Heshun Township. They always sell it at high prices when the grain prices rise in this season."

Dong Limao was very interested in what the bald horse said. He felt that no matter how much food Wang Fugui's family had, it would not be much more. The combined number of large households was at least tens of thousands of kilograms, which was enough for the copycat brothers to eat for a while.

"Brother Ma, this is your hometown. You know the situation more clearly. Whoever is bullying the common people usually borrows it from? However, don't kill anyone!" Dong Limao once again reminded the bald horse.

The conversation was divided into two parts. Wang Jingui was Wang Jincai's cousin, the eldest son of Wang Fugui's brother Wang Fuyun. After Wang Jingui's body was transported back home, Wang Fuyun almost turned on his anger. His second son, Wang Jingui's brother, Wang Jinbao, was the security captain of Heshun Township. Seeing that his eldest brother was beaten to death by Zheng Chengkui's people, he wanted to pull his dozens of security teams to find Zheng Chengkui for revenge. In fact, he was just pretending to be a bear to see the villagers. If he had ten courage, he would probably not dare to find Zheng Chengkui. However, his desire to avenge his eldest brother was real.

The one who sent Wang Jingui home was Wang Jincai. He brought a platoon of the Imperial Army and Zhang Wu to accompany him and returned to Heshun Township.

Zhang Wu was always worried that the people who were trapped in the city were plotted against by Zheng Chengkui. No matter where Wang Jincai went, he would follow him closely. Before the Japanese devils arrested Zheng Chengkui's secret spy, he didn't even dare to close his eyes when he went to bed.

Hiroji Ikeda didn't want to capture the spies that Zheng Chengkui had planted in the city. He thought that since he knew the place where everyone was, he should make good use of them and not be afraid that they would run away.

For this reason, Zhang Wu did not dare to show up in public in the city.

Wang Jinbao cried in front of Wang Jincai and wanted to avenge his elder brother, with the purpose of asking Wang Jincai to persuade Hiroji Ikeda and to take the Japanese devils and the Imperial Army up the mountain to wipe out Zheng Chengkui and the others.

As a result, Wang Jingui's funeral turned into a private revenge meeting where the Wang brothers plotted against Zheng Chengkui.

"Second brother, the Japanese now rely on us local snakes to help them do things. Without us, they are blind and deaf. You are now a lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Army and have five or six hundred guns under your command. If you don't want to destroy Zheng Chengkui's bandits, we will not be at ease in the future!" Wang Fuyun said to Wang Jincai.

Wang Jincai knew that Hiroji Ikeda also wanted to destroy the spy company of Zheng Chengkui and Dong Limao. Of course, he hoped that the Japanese would clear out these two bandits as soon as possible, but he had never had a chance. However, through today's battle, he saw that Zheng Chengkui and the others were just mobs. With Zhang Wu surrendering, he knew the specific location of Zheng Chengkui's village and the residence of Dong Limao's spy company, so he could make suggestions to Hiroji Ikeda, calling on aircraft to cooperate in the air and ground troops to launch a comprehensive clearance operation.

"The second brother will definitely avenge Jin Gui's revenge! Second uncle, you don't have to be too sad. Jin Gui has earned face for our Wang family and won the trust of the Imperial Army in our Wang family. It won't take long for the Captain Ikeda to lead troops up the mountain to clear the Zheng bandits. Jin Gui left, and I was short of manpower. Let Jinbao follow me. There is not much hope in the village. Our Imperial Army is no longer the security team of the past, but a regular army! Commander Kong said that we will grow stronger in the future and train the Imperial Army into a combat-effective army like the Imperial Army!" Wang Jincai comforted his second uncle Wang Fuyun. As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots suddenly came from the entrance of the village.
