Hanwang Village, Coriander Camp, Linzhang County, is a small village, there is a mountain outside the village, and there are more than 100 bandits on the mountain.

The bandits used this unnamed mountain as their territory, and they plundered nearby villages, with merchants passing by the focus of their raids.

On the mountain, the bandit leader Lang Xin is eating large pieces of beef and drinking Japanese sake, and Lang Xin has a smile on his face.

"Zhang Liji's Zhang bald head has been killed by the Eighth Route Army, this Zhang bald head usually relies on his own people and always blackmails us, now it's okay, he is dead, we don't have to suffer from his blackmail in the future, this time the young master gave us two small steel cannons, and let us return to our own territory. I saw that this bottle of sake was not there, but this is Japanese sake, and it was given to me by the little driver. ”

Lang Xin pointed to the sake on the table, and he said with a smug face.

The young man is Guo Qing, the deputy mayor of the Second Division of the Imperial Army, who grew up with his uncle Guo Dehui, so most bandits still call Guo Qing the young master.

Lang Xin originally gathered in the coriander camp with his troops and the bandits near the coriander camp, and they were preparing for a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in the coriander camp.

But after receiving Guo Qing's order, Lang Xin received some military supplies and weapons and ammunition and returned to his territory.

"Big brother, if we can kill part of the Eighth Route Army this time, and then we are gathering some people, maybe we can take the territory of Zhangliji. If the Eighth Route Army comes over, we will definitely be able to win by relying on the terrain. ”

"That's right, big brother, it is said that this Eighth Route Army is the sworn enemy of the Japanese, if we can defeat them, the Japanese will definitely be very happy, and at that time, our status in Linzhang County will definitely improve a lot."

"Big brother, this Eighth Route Army is said to be very powerful, even the Japanese are not their opponents, more than 1,000 people in Zhang Guangtou have been killed by them, if we fight with the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid it may not be their opponent."

"I heard that there are tens of thousands of Japanese who have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, big brother, it can be seen that these Eighth Route Army is not easy to provoke, and now we are back to our own territory. I think as long as the Eighth Route Army doesn't come to provoke us, we still don't want to fight them. ”

Lang Xin's subordinates were talking one after another, some of them couldn't wait to fight the Eighth Route Army troops, and some of them thought that it was too risky to fight the Eighth Route Army troops now.

Listening to the discussion of his subordinates, Lang Xin wiped the wine on his mouth, and a bold smile appeared on his face.

"You don't have to worry, if the troops of the Eighth Route Army come to us, if they can beat them, we will beat them hard, if not, we will obediently hide in the mountains, this Eighth Route Army will definitely not be stationed in Linzhang County for a long time, it is a big deal that we hide, as long as we stay on the mountain, the Eighth Route Army has no way to take us."

Lang Xin looked at his subordinates, he said with a casual expression, he had already made a plan.

If the troops of the Eighth Route Army are easy to fight, then Lang Xin will definitely not hesitate to attack the Eighth Route Army, and he also wants to strengthen his team by attacking the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, if the Eighth Route Army troops are not easy to fight, then Lang Xin will definitely not attack the Eighth Route Army troops, and he doesn't want to fight all the men and horses in his hands.

"Bang Bang!" As soon as Lang Xin's words were finished, there was a fierce gunfire outside, and after hearing the gunshot, Lang Xin's brows couldn't help frowning.

"What's going on, where are the shots?" Seeing a man walking in briskly from outside, Lang Xin hurriedly asked.

"Big brother, there are troops of the Eighth Route Army passing by at the foot of the mountain, and the brothers are fighting with them, this Eighth Route Army force is nothing more than that, they have been killed by us more than ten people!"

The man walked quickly to Lang Xin, and he said with a smug expression.

Hearing that his troops had killed more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the expression on Lang Xin's face became excited, and he immediately picked up the shell gun.

"Brothers, copy guys!" Lang Xin shouted loudly.

Dozens of bandits immediately picked up the guy in their hands, and they followed behind Lang Xin and quickly walked outside.

At this time, it was Liu Jingnuma's second battalion troops who were hit by Lang Xin's bandits, and after Sun Weiguo issued the action orders of all departments, the fourth company of the second battalion infantry advanced lightly towards the coriander battalion, and the fourth company wanted to take the coriander battalion in front of the first battalion!

But while passing by the hill occupied by Lang Xin in Hanwang Village, a dozen bandits who were in charge of guarding opened fire directly on the 4th Company.

The 4th Company of the Rapid March was taken by surprise and killed five soldiers on the spot, while a platoon commander immediately gave the order to charge, and a squad of soldiers charged towards the hill, and seven soldiers fell into the trap, and all seven soldiers were killed.

Because the 4th Company was on a rapid march, the heavy weapons they belonged to were all following the main force of the 2nd Battalion, and for a time the 4th Company could only shoot at the bandits.

But this is the territory of bandits, who can find cover with their eyes closed, and they have set up quite a few traps in the mountains.

The officers and men of the 4th Company, which lacked heavy weapons, immediately launched a fire counterattack after the attack, but their actions were in a passive situation.

With Lang Xin coming over with dozens of bandits reinforcements, the situation has obviously changed a lot.

The two Type 89 grenadiers were immediately set up by the bandits, and the bandits did not skimp on the miniature grenades, and they quickly shot out the miniature grenades.

In a short space of five minutes, the casualty figure of the 4th Company exceeded twenty.

The commander of the 4th company turned pale, and he immediately ordered grenadiers and light machine guns to counterattack.

A light machine gun shooter immediately set up the crooked light machine gun, but before the shooter could pull the trigger, one of the bandits picked up his rifle and began to shoot, and the bullet went straight at the light machine gun shooter, who was killed instantly.

The fourth company was located at the bottom of the mountain, and the bandits shot condescendingly, plus the bandits knew the terrain here better, they had an advantage.

After paying more than thirty casualties, the commander of the 4th company immediately ordered the troops to withdraw.

The troops of the fourth company began to withdraw, and Lang Xin and the bandits did not start a pursuit, and after the fourth company withdrew, Lang Xin immediately took the bandits to clean up the battlefield.

The 4th Company's reckless advance paid the price of casualties, which was also the result of their underestimation of the enemy.

Lang Xin won the battle, he brought more than 30 casualties to the fourth company, and Lang Xin's gang of bandits was very happy.

In Sun Weiguo's headquarters, the news of the defeat of the Fourth Company soon spread to Sun Weiguo.

Knowing that after the defeat of the Fourth Company, Sun Weiguo's face was not very good, and he looked coldly at the map.
