The battle lasted all day, and in the evening, the Sharp Knife Battalion received good news, and the entire brigade of devils was completely annihilated by them.

"Good, good kill!"

Because the devils are focusing on attacking the armament of the Guofu Army, they are not as strong as the previous offensive against the Eighth Route Army.

But this relaxation caused them to bury a large group of troops in an instant, and the devil began to realize that there was still the Eighth Route Army nearby.

Tada did not send people over to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, but continued to attack the Guofu Army to expand his gains.

And the next morning, Li Jian received a telegram, which finally made him understand why the devils endured and did not beat them.

"Captain, this is information sent by Commander Liu!"

Zhang Tian stood next to Li Jian, his leg was almost healed, and it was estimated that he would be able to return to the army soon, Li Jian looked at the content on it and scolded the devil for being shameless.

"It's slandering us!"

After throwing the telegram on the table and figuring out the ins and outs, Li Jian also began to think about how to deal with the devil and the people of the whole country next.

Because it is written on it that the devil and the Eighth Route Army have always been non-aggression against each other, that is, there is no contradiction between the two sides.

This has been said for a long time, and now most of the Chinese people have probably heard it.

It is equivalent to pushing the Eighth Route Army to the forefront, how can there be no contradiction with the devil, unless it is a traitor, or it is not actively resisting the war and trying to undermine national unity.

"The poison used by the devil not only separates our relationship with Chongqing, but also makes the whole country look at them!"

The Eighth Route Army really can't come big for the time being, and after a hundred-regiment battle last year, the losses were huge.

And the devil's recovery ability is stronger than theirs, and the weapons and equipment are better than theirs, if the devil is in a hurry to retaliate against them, it will be a disaster for the Eighth Route Army!

"Send a telegram to HQ and ask them what they should do next?"

At this time, Li Jian felt that he should still ask the headquarters for instructions, and he couldn't decide on such a big action alone.

At this moment, several divisions under Tada are frantically sweeping the Guofu army, and several generals have already died over there.

This made Li Jian very sad, these people are not bad, but a big battle can't rely on just a few people, everyone must work together, otherwise it will be over!

When the Sharp Knife Battalion returned, more than half of them were killed, more than 200 of them were killed, and many of the rest were seriously wounded.

Li Jian did not spare money, because Quyuan County was occupied by devils again, and the medicine could not be bought, so he could only be pulled from the fortress.

These diseases are all good soldiers, and if Li Jian can save them, he will definitely save them all.

Even if they won a small victory, they could not prevent a major rout.

The devils are sweeping, and the bad luck is not only these soldiers, but also the people nearby.

Li Jian ordered the guerrillas and several battalions to go out to take care of these ordinary people, and if they couldn't do it, he took them to change places.

In a village south of Quyuan, they have been hiding at home and not daring to come out because of the heavy artillery fire outside in the past few days.

A group of defeated Guofu troops passed by before, took some food from their side and ran.

In less than half a day, suddenly a group of soldiers with guns came, knocking on doors from door to door without saying a word.

"Open the door, fellow!"

"Master Jun, our family really doesn't have food and valuable things, you better go somewhere else to take a look!"

This soldier was very helpless, they didn't come to grab food.

"No, fellow, the devil is coming soon, if you don't leave, you will suffer!"

"No, we don't have a conflict with them, they shouldn't hurt us!"

Because this is the west, there are very few devils, and these ordinary people don't know the ferocity of devils at all, so they simply refuse the kindness of the Eighth Route Army.

In the end, all the fighters returned in vain, and Zhang Tianshang, who was in charge of the transfer of these ordinary people, heard this situation and shouted at a group of soldiers:

"Smash the door open for me, force them to leave, and if they don't, knock them out and carry them away!"

"But...... Deputy battalion commander, you will be punished like this! ”

A platoon commander replied vaguely, Zhang Tian's eyes widened, and he looked at the people around him again and shouted:

"Go quickly, this is an order, I'll take care of something happening!"

He actually knew in his heart that he would be punished, but he couldn't give up the lives of these ordinary people just because he was afraid of being punished.

Even if he will take off his military uniform at that time, in the end, someone will put on a military uniform for him that can never be taken off in their hearts, this is the real soldier.

"Oh, Master Jun, there's nothing valuable in the house!"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take your things away, or the devils will come and kill you soon."

Under the "coercion and temptation" of the soldiers, these ordinary people finally left in fright.

People in several nearby villages did much the same.

When the instructors saw these fighters doing this, they went directly to Li Jian and said that some women would punish these fighters.

Li Jian was annoyed when he heard it, and only said that you can do it.

In the end, there was no more opposition, because no matter how good the eloquence and attitude of these instructors were, the common people were just unwilling to move their nests.

In the end, there was no choice but to forcibly drag it away, otherwise it would really be killed.

"How can you do that? This is all banditry! ”

An old man who looked like an old pedant sitting in the carriage scolded at the people around him.

The surrounding soldiers didn't dare to reply, this old man looked like he would die at any time, if he killed him, it was estimated that they might really be shot.

The final result was that the old man kept scolding, and the thirsty soldiers hurriedly handed over the water, for fear that his throat would be uncomfortable.

After drinking the water, the old man continued to scold, anyway, he didn't agree with their behavior of forcibly leading people to retreat.

It wasn't until the next day, when they heard that several of the people in the village had been killed by the devils, and everyone shut up.

"Erzhu, I just heard on the way here that all the people in Xiaogou are dead, the village is burned by devils, and there is not a single living mouth in it!"

"I also saw it on the way here, these eight roads are really good, they just want to save our lives!"

“……”

In short, after everyone realized that the Eighth Route Army had saved their lives, there was no more abuse from before.

Those who said before that they would be fine if they didn't mess with the devil, after hearing the tragic death of some ordinary people who thought the same way as them, they were very glad that they were carried over.

And at this time, anger has already ignited a little fire, and that is hatred for devils.

"How's the grain? I think it's enough to eat! ”

Li Jian asked the political commissar of the four teams, who nodded and replied:

"If we hadn't gotten so much food before, it is estimated that these people would starve to death now even if they were not killed by the devils!"
