Cheng Wenxuan knew that if he continued to stay here, he would definitely be killed by the Eighth Route Army, and he wanted to leave the battlefield immediately with dozens of people.

Dozens of puppet officers and soldiers covered Cheng Wenxuan's immediate withdrawal, while hundreds of puppet officers and soldiers stayed where they were to cover Cheng Wenxuan's actions.

"Retreat quickly, as long as you evacuate to Du Cunji safely, I will reward you with a hundred yuan each!" Cheng Wenxuan was supported by two lineage guards, and he shouted loudly.

Because they were busy fleeing for their lives, all the property transported by Cheng Wenxuan's carriage was also abandoned, but the puppet officers and soldiers who stayed in place had other plans in their hearts.

A puppet platoon commander quickly ran to the carriage parked on the side of the road, he picked up a small box and ran desperately to the side.

It's just that he didn't run long before three Czech light machine gun bullets hit the puppet platoon commander's body, and the puppet platoon commander was killed on the spot.

The puppet platoon commander fell to the ground, and the small box he was holding also fell directly to the ground, and yellow gold bars rolled out of the small box.

The gold bars shimmered golden in the sun, and the expressions on the faces of the puppet officers and soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the troops of the Eighth Route Army changed, and their eyes looked greedily at the gold bars.

A puppet soldier couldn't resist the temptation, he ran directly towards the gold bars, he picked up three gold bars and fled quickly.

The puppet soldier picked up three and fled, and the rest of the puppet officers and soldiers were still in the mood to continue fighting, and they stared at the gold bars on the ground with wide eyes.

A pseudo-officer and soldier quickly ran towards the gold bar, but the light machine guns of the company continued to fire and suppress it.

Bullets came at the puppet army as if they didn't want money, and this time the light machine gun shooters of the company were given the order to strafe.

The puppet officers and soldiers who wanted to pick up the gold bars were killed and wounded more than 50 people on the spot, but the rest of the puppet officers and soldiers did not dare to continue moving, they could only hide in place.

At this time, there were only more than 100 puppet officers and soldiers left, and what these more than 100 people wanted in their hearts was not to contain the troops of the Eighth Route Army, they only wanted to subtract the gold bars and escape.

The gunfire gradually became sparse, and the pseudo-officers and soldiers had no idea of fighting, and they were all trying to find a way to pick up gold bars and escape.

And Cheng Wenxuan's small force with dozens of people has been separated from the battlefield for 200 meters, Cheng Wenxuan's whole body has been soaked with sweat, and his face has lost his former calm.

Especially after the gunfire behind him gradually became sparse, he felt that the puppet army left behind must have been completely annihilated.

How would Cheng Wenxuan know that the puppet officers and soldiers who stayed behind were not thinking about how to cover Cheng Wenxuan's evacuation, but how to pick up gold bars and escape.

"Boom!" Two shells hit Cheng Wenxuan without warning, and as the shells exploded, two craters appeared on the ground.

More than a dozen puppet soldiers who evacuated with Cheng Wenxuan were killed on the spot, and the two soldiers who were supporting Cheng Wenxuan immediately pressed Cheng Wenxuan on their bodies, and they were killed on the spot.

Cheng Wenxuan felt a hot pain in his leg, and he took out his pistol and looked around vigilantly.

"Da Da Da!" Two Type 92 heavy machine guns began to fire from the flanks, and Cheng Wenxuan was hit by a heavy machine gun bullet on the forehead and died on the spot.

There were less than 30 puppet officers and soldiers who evacuated with Cheng Wenxuan, and after they saw Cheng Wenxuan killed, more than a dozen puppet soldiers wanted to escape.

But a volley of guns rang out, and more than a dozen puppet soldiers were killed on the spot, and the remaining few puppet soldiers immediately lay on the ground, they didn't dare to move.

"Brothers of the Eighth Route Army, don't shoot, Deputy Division Commander Cheng Wenxuan has been killed by you, we surrender, don't shoot."

"We surrendered, we laid down our arms, and I know that your Eighth Route Army units treat prisoners preferentially."

The two puppet soldiers shouted loudly, and they directly threw their weapons on the ground, raised their hands high, and made a gesture of surrender.

Cheng Wenxuan had already been killed, and these puppet soldiers felt that there was no need for them to continue fighting.

A platoon leader looked at the puppet soldiers with a telescope, and after seeing the puppet soldiers raise their hands, a platoon leader waved his hand.

Ten soldiers immediately rushed over with Type 38 rifles, and they aimed their guns at the puppet soldiers, who would immediately pull the trigger whenever there was any movement of the puppet soldiers.

The puppet soldiers don't have the courage to resist now, they know that if they continue to fight, they will definitely not be able to save their lives.

More than half of the dozens of puppet soldiers who fled with Cheng Wenxuan were killed, and the remaining puppet soldiers chose to surrender, and Cheng Wenxuan himself was killed.

AFTER THE FIRST PLATOON SETTLED THE BATTLE HERE, THEY IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ATTACK FROM THE FLANKS AND REAR, AND THE TWO 60MM MORTARS AND TWO TYPE 92 HEAVY MACHINE GUNS OF THE MACHINE GUN PLATOON IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO FIRE, AND SHELLS AND BULLETS WERE FIRED AT THE PUPPET SOLDIERS.

The puppet soldiers, who had already lost the will to fight and were bent on picking up gold bars, were caught off guard.

They lost more than ten people again, two 60MM mortars, nine grenadiers began to fire shells and miniature grenades, these shells were all aimed at the puppet army's light machine guns, the puppet army's light machine guns instantly dumbed fire, lost the cover of the light machine guns, Wen Zihan immediately issued an order to attack.

Under the cover of light machine guns and grenadiers, the fighters quickly launched an attack on the puppet army, and the fighters, armed with rifles, quickly approached the puppet army.

The puppet soldiers had already lost their faith in battle, and when the first company began to charge, most of the puppet troops quickly began to withdraw.

However, it is obviously not a simple matter for them to evacuate under a series of firepower.

One puppet soldier fell to the ground one after another, some of the puppet soldiers were killed on the spot, and some of the puppet soldiers were wounded, and the wounded puppet soldiers had frightened expressions on their faces, and they begged for mercy loudly, and they did not dare to continue the battle with the officers and soldiers of the first company.

Wen Zihan ordered the troops to quickly resolve the battle and clean up the battlefield, and he immediately sent personnel to start contacting the battalion headquarters to report the situation here.

On the morning of 24 August, the first company of Huang Gang's first battalion pursued Cheng Wenxuan, who had fled, and the first company killed 190 puppet soldiers under Cheng Wenxuan, wounded 152 people, and captured a large number of puppet officers and soldiers.

Although Cheng Wenxuan was killed, most of the troops of the first division of the puppet army were still scattered in the nearby villages, and these puppet army troops looted the villages while evacuating, they were even more hateful than the devil soldiers.

After Sun Weiguo learned of this situation, he immediately ordered Zheng Guan Zilin's fourth battalion to continue to search for the fleeing puppet army troops, and at the same time clean up the bandits in various towns, while Huang Gang's first battalion, Li Jiaxin's third artillery battalion, was immediately summoned by Sun Weiguo to Beiyuan Village to standby.
