With the army being wiped out by the cavalry regiment, the remaining security forces were easily resolved. The soldiers were divided into companies and distributed across the battlefield within a radius of several kilometers to capture prisoners.

"Surrender the gun and don't kill, the devil has been eliminated by us..."As the soldiers remembered the persuasion to surrender, those security forces in panic knelt on the ground and raised their hands... Slowly, the battlefield began to become quiet, and under the reflection of the campfire, the whole battlefield was full of prisoners who had surrendered on their knees, and guns and ammunition were scattered everywhere. Except for the corpses of some soldiers who can be seen at the breakthrough of the three main regiments and the positions of the Yue army, there is hardly a single corpse to be seen elsewhere, which shows the intensity of this battle, which is completely one-sided battle.

Liu Hua stood on the mountain beam, looking at the more and more captives below, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Commander, the results of the battle are out." Wang Counselor hurriedly ran over and said.

"Well, so soon, let's read it to everyone, so that everyone is happy..."Liu Hua said excitedly.

"Yes, Commander, this battle has gone through a total of an hour from the beginning of the artillery bombardment to the present, and we have completely annihilated four regiments of the security army, one infantry squadron of the devil, and two mountain artillery squadrons. Among them, two commanders of the security corps, one deputy division commander, and a total of 3,200 other personnel were captured, and the army was completely annihilated, and more than 40 light and heavy machine guns, 16 mountain and field guns, and countless ammunition were captured.

"What about the casualties of the soldiers?" Liu Hua then asked.

"The cavalry regiment lost 65 killed, 12 seriously wounded, 35 lightly wounded, almost losing a company's strength, and the rapid reaction brigade lost a total of 132 killed, 36 seriously wounded, and more than 250 lightly wounded..."

Before Counselor Wang finished speaking, Liu Hua took the lead in applauding, and the guards next to him applauded excitedly when they saw this.

"Okay, very good, Staff Officer Wang, immediately report this Warring States to the political commissar, let the political commissar and the chief of staff also be happy, and also, we must report this result to the three military subdivisions, so that the entire base area knows about this great victory..."Liu Hua ordered excitedly.

"Yes, Commander..."After listening to Liu Hua's words, Staff Officer Wang also replied excitedly.

Just when the Battle of Zhouzhuang was won, the Reading Force Detachment led by Bruce Lee also entered a life-and-death juncture.

It turned out that after figuring out the specific location of Bruce Lee, in order to be able to truly annihilate the "headquarters" of the Eighth Route Army, Major General Sakai, the brigade commander, did not blindly send cavalry units to directly attack, but ordered the cavalry troops to continuously weaken their vital forces and slow down the marching speed of the Eighth Route Army. And he took the main force, divided the troops into two routes, outflanked from both flanks, and finally, in Liushugou, which was less than 15 kilometers away from Zhouzhuang, the Reading Force detachment led by Bruce Lee was completely surrounded by the Yue army and fell into a desperate situation.

"Camp Commander Li... How many people are still in the army now. Looking at the dense torches around the willow trees, Bruce Lee, the head of the guard regiment, did not panic at all, but asked calmly.

The reason for this is because just now, Bruce Lee received a telegram from Commander Liu Hua, telling them that now that the mission has been completed, they can find the opportunity to break through, and send a special operations team to respond.

"Commander Li, the situation is very bad, after several successive contact battles with the cavalry of the Yue Army, we have now reduced our strength by more than two. In order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, those soldiers who were seriously injured were all ...."Li Aiguo, commander of the first regiment and one battalion of the rapid reaction brigade, did not continue.

"Well, I know this situation well, those soldiers who were left behind are all good, and they are all heroes of our reading masters. How many fighters do we still have combat effectiveness now, including cavalry companies. Bruce Lee asked.

"Yes, regiment commander, there are still 46 cavalry in the cavalry company, and 420 in the first battalion, and the squad of the special operations brigade has not yet been reduced in battle." Battalion Commander Li Aiguo replied decisively.

"Well, let me tell you about the situation, the commander just sent a telegram. Our mission has been successfully accomplished, and now the commander has asked us to break through the encirclement immediately and bring back the troops intact. Let's all think about it and see if there is any good way to break through. Bruce Lee asked, "Commander Li, it's not that I don't have confidence, there are more than 4,000 people around us." You say, we have a strength of a few hundred people, and there are dozens of lightly wounded among them. How to break through, it's better to fight with the devil! Battalion Commander Li replied with his head down.

"Yes, fight with the devils, fight one is enough, and we will earn one for two..."The cavalry company commander, who had already suffered most of the casualties, immediately echoed.

"Captain Wang, what do you think?" Bruce Lee ignored the two of them and looked at the leader of the special operations squad who had not been reduced so far.

"Commander Li, now that the army is on the offensive, I don't think they have built any fortifications on our perimeter. If they hadn't built a defense, I think we would have been able to break through as long as we concentrated our forces and firepower. However, the devil has the strength of a cavalry brigade on the periphery, and after we break out, there must be troops to respond, otherwise, after the devil cavalry catches up with us, we will still die..."Captain Wang thought for a while and said.

Bruce Lee nodded, looked around and said, the battalion commander of the surrounding company.

"Comrades, thanks to the joint efforts of all of us, the main brigade of the Japanese army has been dragged by us all the time. Now the commander with the main force has eliminated several thousand people of the security army. So, our mission has now been successfully completed. Just now the commander has sent a telegram asking me to bring everyone back anyway. I believe that we can also complete this task assigned to me by the commander, and do you have the confidence to break through with me. Bruce Lee shouted loudly.

"Yes..." Not only the surrounding cadres, but also the soldiers who heard Bruce Lee's words replied in unison, and the earth-shattering roar reached the ears of every soldier.

"Okay, very good..."Hearing the soldiers roar, Bruce Lee stood up, walked to the middle of everyone, and said loudly.

"Now I order, all the machine gunners, the fighters who can fight machine guns, all stand up and assemble in front of me...", Bruce Lee shouted loudly.

In less than a minute, no less than half a company of soldiers gathered in front of Bruce Lee, and 12 fighters with machine guns stood at the front.

"Good, very good, comrades, you are all good, you are all heroes of our readers. Now I order that each light machine gun should be accompanied by at least four machine gun shooters, and each machine gun shooter should have at least two magazines on his body. Later, when we broke through, the machine gunners in front were unfortunately killed, and the machine gunners in the back had to be replaced immediately. You have to make sure that at least six light machine guns are firing at all times..."

"Yes, the mission is guaranteed...", the dozens of machine gunners replied in unison without any hesitation.

"Captain Li, Captain Li, we have something to say..."At this moment, a voice came from behind Bruce Lee. Turning around, I saw dozens of soldiers with varying degrees of injury, led by a company commander with an arm wound, standing neatly behind Bruce Lee.

"Comrades, is there anything wrong?" What does Bruce Lee seem to have guessed?

"Commander Li, let's stay, if we break through with the troops, we will definitely drag the troops back, and the troops may not be able to break through at that time. Commander Li, it's better to leave us behind, and we'll go to the other side of the breakout point to cover the troops, and do our last bit of strength...."The company commander who led the team replied.

"No, resolutely not, we are the Eighth Route Army, we must not leave the wounded comrades on the position, you don't have to think about this idea, hurry back and seize the time to rest! Save your strength, the troops are about to set off. Bruce Lee immediately interrupted the company commander's words.

"Captain Li, you just promise us..."As he spoke, dozens of injuries in front of him knelt down in front of Bruce Lee.

"Comrades, what are you doing, hurry, hurry up...."Seeing the wounded soldier kneeling on the ground, Bruce Lee hurriedly persuaded him.

"Commander Li, if you don't agree, we won't get up. We all know that if the troops take us with them, they will not be able to break out. Even if you break out, you may be chased back by the devil's cavalry troops. When the time comes, not only us, but the entire army will not be able to escape the clutches of the devils... Captain Li, you can promise us! The warrior who was being pulled by Bruce Lee said anxiously.

Listening to the words of the warrior, Bruce Lee also fell into deep thought. Bruce Lee looked at Captain Wang of the special operations team who had just come up with the idea, and saw him nodding at himself.

"Okay, comrades, I promise you that I will have the soldiers leave you with enough ammunition later, and send you to the north of the willow ditch to cover the breakthrough of the troops." Bruce Lee made up his mind and said affirmatively.

"Thank you, Commander Li, we promise to complete the task..."After receiving Bruce Lee's satisfactory reply, the wounded soldiers immediately stood up, saluted, and answered neatly.

"Battalion Commander Li, you go and arrange it, leave 200 rounds of ammunition and ten grenades for each wounded, and I will take all the soldiers and personally send these wounded soldiers to the battlefield in a while."

"Yes, Captain..."

In a short time, 43 heavily armed wounded soldiers stood in front of everyone. Bruce Lee and several battalion and company commanders sorted out their equipment one by one, holding back the tears that wanted to be shed. The whole process is carried out in a dreary.

"All of them, salute...," Bruce Lee shouted loudly.

The soldiers neatly raised their right hands and saluted the dozens of wounded soldiers in front of them with their most standard military salute, until the wounded soldiers disappeared from their field of vision, and then reluctantly put down their already sore right hands.

"Comrades, our wounded and sick, for the sake of our victory in breaking out of the encirclement, know that it is a dead end, but their eyes rush forward without blinking. Now that the wounded and sick have gone, the rest of the way depends on us, whether everyone has the confidence to break through with me. Bruce Lee turned around, looked at the hundreds of solemn warriors behind him, and roared loudly.

"Yes. There are..."

"Okay, now everyone hurry up and rest, the operator, contact the special operations team immediately... Fast. Bruce Lee commanded loudly, full of confidence in the upcoming breakout.
