The next day, Li Qing gathered the team early in the morning and said, "Soldiers! Our guerrillas will not be able to stay any longer, so let us all defect to the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army, so that our revolutionary forces can be preserved and can burst out with amazing power in the long years of resistance against Japan in the future. ”

"Li Qing is right, the decision he made for us is an important turning point for us. Only by adhering to this decision can we preserve the strength of our guerrillas, and we must understand this decision and not make a mistake about the organization. If you have any suggestions, please put them forward! Yan'er said.

"As long as we fight devils, we are the same everywhere, your decision our brothers will definitely obey, I am willing to go to the New Fourth Army!" Yan Dahu said.

"Good! Then let's all go! Zhang Biao said.

The other brothers also agreed to defect to the New Fourth Army.

Li Qing saw that the mobilization work was very smooth, and he felt very happy, so he ordered everyone to prepare to kill pigs and sheep, eat a good meal, and bid farewell to this small courtyard where he had stayed for many days. At the dinner table, Li Qing gave everyone a good talk about the current situation, and the team members deeply felt that Li Qing was right to take everyone to defect to the New Fourth Army, and only by defecting to the New Fourth Army would they have a better chance to fight the arrogance of the Japanese devils, and to better avenge the dead brothers.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Qing set off with these team members, and a few hours later everyone walked out of the reeds and onto an avenue. Suddenly, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance, and slowly there were more and more figures, and Li Qing hurriedly asked everyone to get into the reeds on both sides of the avenue. After everyone was hidden, Li Qing picked up the binoculars and looked there, this time he saw clearly, it turned out to be a devil, and there were about 2 teams! But he lost more than 100 people when he attacked the county seat, and the captain sacrificed a lot of team members in order to cover the retreat of everyone, and now he has only 300 people left, removing Yan Dahu's cavalry, and now there are only 120 infantry left, Li Qing immediately changed the establishment, abolished all the squad leaders, and reorganized a new four infantry squads and a cavalry brigade, the captains of each infantry squad are: Zhang Yonghang, Li Yiyang, Yu Yan'er and Zhang Biao, each squad plus the squad leader has a total of 40 people, The cavalry brigade is still captained by Yan Dahu, and there is no shortage of members of the cavalry brigade, which is still the original 180 people. "Now each infantry squad is divided into four sections to attack the enemy, the cavalry brigade is ready, I will mobilize cavalry to support your squad at any time, each squad is divided into four points to block the enemy, and the four squad leaders will each find an ambush point!" As soon as Li Qing gave the order, everyone dispersed.

The devil suddenly stopped advancing, and a captain said, "He Ye-kun, this time the guerrillas killed your brother, I will definitely help you defeat them!" ”

"Jiro Kojima, you're so interesting, I'll thank you for my brother!" Kano bowed to Kojima.

Xiao Dao hurriedly said: "You don't have to thank me, Ning Ci is a warrior of the empire!" I would be glad if you could inherit your brother's good qualities and be loyal to the Japanese Empire! ”

"Hey! Long live the Great Japanese Empire! We will defeat the people of China! He Ye hurriedly said.

Kojima nodded to him with satisfaction and shouted behind him, "Reconnaissance squadron search forward!" ”

The squadron leaders of the two reconnaissance squadrons hurriedly led the people forward to search and advance, and gradually entered Zhang Yonghang's defense line. Yonghang waited for them to get closer and immediately organized an attack, the team members threw bundles of grenades at them, killing a large group of devils at once, the devils immediately fired back at them, Zhang Yonghang immediately organized the team members to resist stubbornly, and the devils retreated. After a few minutes, the devils set up machine guns and swept at Yonghang, Yonghang hurriedly retreated with his teammates, and at this time, Li Yiyang, who was ambushed opposite Yonghang, suddenly set up a machine gun and fired at the devils, and the devils were shot in the back one by one, and quickly retreated.

Seeing that they had retreated again, Kojima slapped the two squadron leaders in the face, and said angrily: "Rice buckets, all rice buckets, the faces of the imperial soldiers have been lost by you!" ”

The two squadron leaders could only bow to him and say, "Hey! The chief reprimanded! ”

"You come with me, I'll meet this group of people in person!" Kojima said angrily.

Xiao Dao rushed into their encirclement with this group of devils, set up a machine gun and swept at the reeds, Yonghang and Yi Yang hurriedly organized a counterattack, but the little devils were very tenacious, they set up machine guns and swept the reeds for a while, most of the team members' weapons were relatively poor, fire suppression did not work at all, and the fire net that was finally formed was broken by the devils at once, Yonghang and Yi Yang saw that many team members were injured, and hurriedly organized everyone to retreat. The devils were chasing after them, and several team members took the initiative to rush to the middle of the devils with a few bundles of grenades, pulling the lead at once, killing a lot of devils, Yonghang and Yi Yang watched those team members make such an amazing move for everyone, and their hearts suddenly felt indignant.

The two of them hurried to the second line of defense with these brothers, the second line of defense was guarded by Zhang Biao and Yu Yan'er, they quickly organized people to meet the two, and after all the people who were still alive on the front line were withdrawn, they quickly arranged a fire net, and swept towards the devils, and the little devils who were chasing after them began to panic because they couldn't avoid a lot of people who died. But the panic soon stopped, and the devils quickly organized a counterattack and fought against them tenaciously, at this time Zhang Biao detonated the mine planted in advance, and the devils were blown up at once. Taking advantage of the panic, Zhang Biao picked up a sniper rifle and shot the head of Kojima Jiro, and Kojima Jiro was killed at once, Yan'er praised him again and again for his superb marksmanship, and the team members on the side were also impressed.

When Yamamoto Kano saw that Kojima was dead, he hurriedly turned around and retreated, and Yuyan'er rushed out with men and horses, chasing Yamamoto everywhere. This is a bunch of people on horseback who suddenly burst out of the front, this person is Yan Dahu, Yamamoto panicked, and hurriedly took the remnants of the soldiers into the reeds, and everyone chased him around. Yamamoto's horse ran very fast, and in a moment it was out of the reeds. When the big tiger saw him running so fast, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and everyone was also very anxious to chase Yamamoto. Suddenly, a group of horsemen burst out, led by a man in a brown cotton jacket and a black hat, who rushed forward on horseback, and at once stopped in front of a squad leader, who raised his saber in his hand and slashed at the devil's head, and the devil fell off his horse. Everyone worked together to eliminate the devil, but Yamamoto escaped. Everyone sighed incredibly.

The leader said: "Under the name Hongwu, you are all anti-Japanese heroes, it is better for everyone to join my village, in this way, we can cooperate to resist Japan together, I have always been kind to the people, I have always done some good things to rob the rich and help the poor, now the devil is here, let's fight against Japan together!" ”

"We have lost a lot of people this time, and we all rely on the support of the lord of Hongzhai, and it is difficult to repay the kindness, so how can we be embarrassed to survive with you!" Li Qing said embarrassedly.

"Where's that? We are all anti-Japanese armed forces, and if we are anti-Japanese, we are all brothers, so don't shirk it! As the saying goes, there are many friends, one more way! That Hongwu said.

"Okay, since that's the case, we won't shirk it, and we'll bother the owner of Hongzhai!" Li Qing said embarrassedly. "Hehe, that's right! Let's go! Hong Wu said, and everyone laughed all at once.

So everyone went straight to the village under the leadership of Hongwu.
